enablemeplz | August EMP Meme

ENABLEMEPLZ
meme goes up on the last Saturday of every month
FOR GAME ADS:

➤ Put an ad up with the characters / crew / pairings / fetish you want for your game under the correct game header. This meme is primarily going to be focused on DWRP games but IJ and LJ games are allowed.

➤ PLEASE NOTE A RULE CHANGE HERE. ABSOLUTELY NO obnoxious coding (no font size > size 4 or 3 "big" tags, no oversized banners (they must be 250px in height or less), no blinking text, no obnoxious table html that doesn't collapse easily, no sparklies, no large pictures). Use all the colors you like, but please remember 3 "big" tags is the limit and that's only for headers or title text rather than for all the text in an ad.

FOR GAME QUESTIONS:

➤ RPers interested in a game can create a header for the game and ask questions about that game that aren't easy to find on faqs, such as the actual pace vs. what's listed/what kind of plots are run/if the game leans more towards plotty or slice of life/if a game leans more towards network or logs, etc. Both anon questions and anon answers are welcome in this section just like in the rest of the meme.

➤ This thread is not for speaking about wank or drama in a game. There are anoncomms that exist for that. This thread is specifically for general questions about a game that rpers want to get perspective on from players already in the game. Answers can be slightly negative (such as saying app response is slow or that the plots are repetitive or similar things) but this should at least be worded politely. Unnecessary vitriol, any mention of personal drama or wank, or mod teams/individual mods/players being singled out, will be screened and/or deleted.

FOR CHARACTER ADS:

➤ Put up an ad about the characters you are offering. For PSL/1-on-1 ads, there is a separate subthread but for character ads for games, post directly to the meme post. Others will comment to you with the games/casts they want you to join.

➤ There is a "Find a Castmate" section, where you can talk about a cast you play in at a game, and try to lure people to join it. Not all games post to the meme or have a "wanted" section, so players that want to tempt people to their cast on their own can use this section for it. Please format this the same as the PSL/1-on-1 section, where you post the canons in your subject. For the actual text of the ad you must use the "Find a Castmate" form provided at the bottom of this post so that these ads don't get huge. When listing who's currently in a cast, please do this in sentence form (with commas) rather than in list form.

➤ ABSOLUTELY NO obnoxious coding, with the same rules as the Game Ads Section above.

➤ If you're recommending a game to someone, try to match your suggestion to their needs. It's okay if part of your game rec is copy-pasted (such as what the game's about), but at least some part of the rec must be personalized to their ad. Try not to recommend the same game to every single ad, either. Ad spam that isn't individualized in some way will also be screened.

IN GENERAL:

➤ Don't be a dick. This isn't one of the anoncomms, so any snide comments or unnecessary commentary on the RP plans of others will be screened.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Here's the thing, reserves have been open for about a week now and no one has bit. I had a comment at rpanons saying there were similarities to melodies, which is not my intent. My plot is actually different and a little unique far as I know and some of it will be based on Kingdom Hearts darkness plot in the future.

What could be throwing people off besides that? I'm starting to think it's the tediouness of updating an activity level up stat list. I know, daunting but I love the idea of having a game where that happens, like a real Final Fantasy/Kingdom Hearts game. I think it makes things interesting but others might not think so.

Some posts are also hidden, and won't be open until the game opens, if it ever opens. Do I need to add more? Add less? Add more locations? What would make people more interested in this game? I'd comment on the testdrive but it's only been up for a day or so. I'm itching to play in a Final Fantasy/Kingdom Hearts based game tbh. Which is why I made it. I'm also a natural storyteller and love getting players/characters involved in a good plot that gives them a chance for developments. It's just been a super long time since I've ran a game, so I suppose it's not properly done. Don't get me started on all the mistakes I made when I advertised.

I'm also considering a claims page with a small stat bio instead, with a second app process that you can take up to six months to fill out in the character journal. I'd be allowing the heavy use of headcanon for that bio because I love people's headcanons. I think this might make it more appealing? The stat bio would consists of a fact check lime limit break name, job class chosen, character name etc etc but also a 400-500 word personality section and a wiki link. Characters are stripped of their powers when their panfandom, they can have similarities in limit breaks/soulmate breaks when they level up or they come about incase I remove that and come up with a different way to encourage activity.

I do not want to remove soulmate breaks. I've had this idea in my head since my early teens. I've always wanted to implement it into a game. It encourages organic relationship developments in a party, at least I hope.

Should I be more indepth as well? Like medium sized game with room for 80 players + 200+ characters or so? Or do people prefer smaller ones? I doubt I could handle a large game, too much work. Laxer activity rules? Or stricter? I know, I tend to be too lax when it comes to games.

I'd prefer to have a weapon upgrading system with the ability to answer at the weapon upgrades page, instead of it being so expensive to buy new weapons as well. I just don't want it to be overly complicated but rather easily explained and to the point for players. Just I'm thinking back on everything and it's gonna be a doozy for a character to survive in my game I now realize.

I don't open until September 21st but if people were looking and itching for it to be sooner, it'd be on the weekend, on a Sunday/the 15th. I'd open on Saturday but that's too soon without reserves.

Anyway, that's all. Thanks for reading. Hopefully serious answers come from seasoned mods or players who know a thing or two.
