October EMP Meme

[enablemeplz]

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. MOD CONTACT: If there's trouble, tell me HERE, please!

hello i'm here to sing the praises of meadowlark. i'm in both it and fellden, but i find meadowlark to be really player-driven? like, i can roll up to the plot engagement post and be like hey here's this goal my character has can we work through how to get there and what plot information i can build towards through that. so it feels nice to be able to have your character, like, actually do meaningful things.

i also like that meadowlark has clear structure for stuff (i know exactly how my powers are leveling up and when, the calendar has clear ambient setting info updated monthly, etc.), and is really reasonably paced -- events are bi-monthly, and usually the following month is for following up on plot threads and cr fall-out, etc.

i think it's so sweet you've been going around talking about this game!! i tdm'd the first time it opened and i did enjoy myself but it was the wrong time for me to app into a game..
having events that are bi-monthly is good to know too.. i like that kind of pacing..

i feel like i'd enjoy meadowlark's setting better, but i'm still being open..! this is helpful information though, thank you

seconding ml for all the reasons tifa mentioned above, but ALSO because i think it has one of the best "here's what i want, tell me how to get it" mod approaches in dwrp right now.

as an example: i don't like AU games, but i've always been interested in AU concepts for building CR and creating new CR options. instead of joining an AU game, our mods created an entire AU event (that players could opt-out if they wanted to) to allow players to experiment with that trope without having to commit to it. we're also gearing up for a new act, so to speak, so new characters coming in would get to have a ton of fun plot devices to bounce off of!

very cool!! and like i said, this setting is more appealing to me than fellden's.. i know reserves are open right now.. i'm just not sure who to reserve so i thought about putting the two characters i'm thinking about on the old tdm..
you think anyone would tag and help me out with a decision?

right now, it's between klaus & gintoki, so i'd put both of them up to see how they both jive with the setting..

i'm more familiar in passing with tua personally, but we have a pretty wide range of mediums in game! if you drop someone on the tdm, let us know and we'll share it around :)

threw klaus up here!
thanks to you both for helping me make a decision!!
