December 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 either frozen or screened (based on what seems right based on the content). FOR CHARACTER ADS: ➤ Put up an ad about the characters you are offering. For PSL 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 section, where you post your character's 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. ➤ There is a "Find Crosscanon" section, where you can talk about a character you play and and desired crosscanon for that character. Please make sure this is not too generalized a search, because just wanting general crosscanon can be accomplished with the other sections of the meme. This is for specific characters or character types you're looking for. In the subject, please list the "Looking for [canon you're looking for]" rather than your character's canon. If looking for a character type, list the character type in as few words as possible. Do not make the subject huge or I'll screen your comment. For the actual text of the ad you must use the "Find Crosscanon" form provided at the bottom of this post so that these ads don't get huge. This section is only for game crosscanon as in the psl section people can list their preferences. ➤ Examples of crosscanon you can search for: You play The Flash from DC Comics and your dream CR is fellow speedster Quicksilver from Marvel. Or you might play a witch and want cr with other witches in general. Or maybe you play a good character messed up by evil parents and want to play against a villain character you know has evil parents, because you know it'd lead to some interesting negative CR. ➤ 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 frozen or screened. Keep in mind this needs to be more specific than "this game has easy AC like you're asking for but meets none of your other requirements." Make sure you're advertising games that might click with that specific character, where a few elements fit what they're looking for. You should be thinking about the story reasons of how the character might click with the game. 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 frozen or screened. MOD CONTACT: If there's trouble, tell me HERE, please!

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.

offering
☆ mae (fire emblem echoes: shadows of valentia)
☆ emmeryn (fire emblem: awakening)
☆ linde (fire emblem: new mystery of the emblem)
☆ karina, lucretia (dragalia lost)

preferences
☆ no smut/sex-friendly or survival games
☆ horror elements are fine but no horror games; i'm just not interested in being put through the trauma wringer 24/7
☆ love adventure and action, but slice of life is fine too
☆ soft preference for smaller games
☆ soft preference for medium/slow pacing; more likely to be amenable to faster paces if the game is small

[flatteries]

i would absolutely love to see more fire emblem characters at voidtreckerexpress! from what i see it really fits what you're looking for: it's small-medium sized and the pace is about the same. the game's setting is a train that travels through various dimensions, so there's a good mix of slice of life moments (when the train is traveling) and more action/exploration elements (when the train stops and the characters end up in a different world with a mission).

from my account it's probably obvious that i'd love to see emmeryn (especially since i play inigo as lucina's sibling), but mae or linde would be great too!

[prospitian]

nephew...!!! playing ylisse royal fam is all i've ever wanted you have no idea

my eternal struggle with finding games for emmeryn is that she's gotta be able to do and get involved in stuff while being a noncombatant; i've had her in games before where there should have been chances for her to go be a diplomat but the mods didn't ever actually let it go anywhere so i got real sick real fast of throwing myself against a brick wall again and again kfjfkg. im definitely SUPER INTO exploration but what's the usual nature of the missions?

[flatteries]

oof yeah i can imagine.. i think there's a good deal to get involved with that doesn't involve fighting here! there's four in-game teams (characters get sorted into one as they app based on like.. circumstances and personality) and each gets a different mission at each stop. so we do have a team of more aggressive-minded people who mostly get the combat missions, but in the last world the team inigo is on got a mission to convince villagers to evacuate a dying planet, so there's a little bit of something for everyone! people can also just join another team's mission if there's something they're better at, so i think you'd definitely be able to find something fitting for her each time. the mod is imo also pretty responsive with npcs and plot questions and backtags into forever which is amazing for slower people. (like me...)

oh and the players also set up a train council where the Actual Responsible Adult Characters talk about important matters on the train like the mystery behind what brought them there and what to do about their situation etc, so there's plenty of stuff to do!

[prospitian]

A RESPONSIBLE ADULT COUNCIL... I'M LIVING, THAT'S SO FUNNY

this is such a thorough answer, thank you so much!!! i have one more for you and it's if there's a test drive up somewhere because this all sounds absolutely delightful

[flatteries]

KGHKFJKD SORRY... i got a little carried away at the thought of possible royal family shenanigans!!

but yes, there is! it's over here! apps won't open until sometime mid-late january so you have a while to test the waters and look around c:

[prospitian]

NO WHY ARE YOU APOLOGIZING that was so thoughtful and informative and i appreciate it!!!! i'm away for the holidays without a computer 'til new years but i'll definitely hit this up once i get back, thanks so much for the rec and all the info!! 💖

[flatteries]

i'll keep an eye out for it! hope you have a good year's end c:

[(Anonymous)]

No suggestions, but I'm so glad that someone A. plays from Dragalia, and B. it's Lucretia. I hope you find a home for her!

[prospitian]

aw thanks so much!!! 💖 she's such a mess and i love her... i have a friend who plays vixel too and we've been talking about doing them in a murdergame someday, but i know a few people who have talked about playing from dragalia but the barrier is that no one's ripped the sprites so icons are so hard!!! it's tragic!!

[neosapienmods]

if AU games are an option, neosapien is a cyberpunk one that could definitely serve to offer up plenty of good plot to eat up.

[prospitian]

this one's absolutely on me but i managed to so thoroughly forget about the existence of AU games that i forgot to put them as a no... definitely a niche that it's good to see filled though so wishing the game the best, & thank you for the rec!!
