November 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.

Important note: IP logging has turned on due to multiple instances past and present of problem players trying to return to the dwrp community via emp after being banned other places, so I'll be IP logging from now on, and will compare notes with the rpa and wg mods (as well as game mods) where appropriate if it seems like someone that has been mass banned. I will not pay attention to IPs otherwise. I don't care what people like playing or who's who. So please feel comfortable to keep doing your thing, anon or otherwise. The knowledge will only be used for really egregious problem cases.

[Preferences]

My only real preferences are an AC that isn't super strict, and no sex games. Ideally I'd like castmates too, but it isn't a requirement!

Daybreak Academy has very chill AC requirements, if you're cool with AU games! I'm the Therion there and currently the only Octopath, but the nature of the game makes it pretty easy to get crosscanon CR.

Basically, Daybreak's a game where young people with powers of all sorts get invited (or, uh... pressganged) into a prestigious school that helps them train their magic to fight off the approaching undead apocalypse. Stuff varies between SOL school nonsense and dangerous missions. It's real fun, you've got a lot of freedom to put in what you want to get out of it!

I remember looking at daybreak a while back, and it does seem like a lot of fun! I don't have much of an issue with AU games, though I'll admit I haven't actually participated in one before.
bolderfell: You made Chapter 4 Friends with Therion. Therion will now DIE FOR YOU. <user name="nappotuna" site="tumblr.com"> (SINCERE 🗡️ Thanks.)

If there's anything in particular you'd like to know about it, I'm happy to answer questions if I can. It's a small game and usually fairly slow-paced, I know that's usually the first thing I wonder about.
maidenofparadise: (neutral)

Small game, slow paced, definitely seems like my cup of tea. Since its an AU game, how are characters from the same canon treated? Would that be something the players work out themselves?
bolderfell: With the Dancer's speed boost, y'all literally can't touch this. <user name="toto-ykru" site="tumblr.com"> (DANCE 🗡️ Bewildering grace.)

[personal profile] bolderfell 2019-12-02 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Yup, exactly. Every month an AU planning post goes up like this one, so players can lay out any ideas they have for their characters' histories and situations and see if anybody has connections to suggest.

For example, with Therion I pretty much kept his past the same, except Daybreak takes place on modern-but-magic Earth, so I had to decide what country he came from and stuff. Then another incoming player and I decided to have her character's people be the ones to catch Therion and slap the equivalent of the Fool's Bangle on, and other existing players offered characters who could've chased him and Darius in his youth, and so on. So a lot of that was set up before I even finished my game app.

I see. I'm definitely interested now, but I do have one more question: Is there anything like a discord for the game?
bolderfell: No one will ever believe you. (Promotional art) (SMILE 🗡️ A sight rarer than dragonstones)

Sure is! Here's a link, if that's helpful. Hopefully I did that right.
