enablemeplz | October 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.

Players interested in a game can post a header for the game and ask questions that players in that game can respond to. Please see the instructions/rules for this section in the post above.

You can also use this space to ask general game questions like "What games accept CRAUS?" or "What games have a fast pace and aren't SOL?"

Besides the dom/sub sorting, this game seems like it's SOL heavy from the outside. Is that true? I'm thinking about apping, but I can't gauge how much fun the SOL aspects and the events are from the outside. And if it's mostly SOL, then it's not for me. Thank you anons!

I can only speak for myself, but I was worried about this too and found that it's really more what you make of it. The last event had a lot of action because it was focused on fighting between two different sides. I don't think that's the norm, but it was cool and definitely not limited to SOL. The current event has been the fallout of that war, including tighter restrictions on the dom/sub partnerships.

The main thing that allows people to focus only on SOL is that several elements are opt-in, so you could probably play the lightest fluffiest everyday things you want - however, that's not for me, so I've been choosing to go very dark with the events. A lot of my CR is also the type to want to play darker things that build/affect character development, rather than SOL. One thing I enjoy is that the game feels very flexible due to this opt-in/opt-out environment, so it's really easy to just run with your own plots. Like choose/create your own adventure. I think the game is still large enough you can find your niche and avoid the strictly SOL route, but there are definitely people who only play that stuff.

I can give more details on the past couple of events if you want. I'm a newer player, though I've had friends in the game and heard about it from the sidelines through some of the other events. There might be people here with better input to give.

One more thing I will add: my last two games were very, very plot heavy with constant fighting, missions, etc, and Duplicity is not that. It's primarily a sex game where character relationships are at the fore, in my opinion. If that's not what you're looking for, there are other games out there that might be more up your alley.

I really appreciate this thorough response! I'll keep all of this in mind. I'm not looking for anything plot heavy or mission intensive right now, so that's good to hear.

It's very sol. Last month and this month felt very phoned in (literal "here is a barebones summary of what Important NPC says, go do whatever") and a lot of players seemed to avoid anything that messed with their status quo.

There is supposedly stricter rules in place for characters, but the mods gave outs to everyone, so there was, again, a flurry of people using those loopholes to get away with more of the same. They have to wear collars or bracelets, except when they don't want to, Subs have to have a Dom buy things for them, except they can get a pass from a Dom, etc. I have been in the game for almost a year, and I think I'm done with it. After the outrage over Fort Harmony, it feels like the mods are too afraid to be strict anymore

Original anon who answered the question here. Totally fair perspective. I've personally been doing some really dark threads with torture and violence with the Realignment punishments, but it might just be the willingness of my CR/niche, plus I'm also new and not interested in those loopholes. Still, I can understand getting tired of a certain premise or just the way a game is run after a year. As someone tired of heavy plot in most current games this was a nice change.
