December EMP Meme
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!

Fruits Basket @ Aurora Express
[fandom]:Fruits Basket
[game's current cast]: Isuzu Sohma, Kyou Sohma, Tohru Honda
[who I play]: Tohru Honda
[wanted]: Yuki, Haru, Momiji, Shigure, Hana, Uo, literally anyone from Fruits Basket or Fruits Basket Another, honestly.
[game info]: Welcome Aboard! The Aurora Express is a train traveling through fantasy outer space on a mission to bring light back to a universe that has been corrupted by darkness referred to only as Malice. Characters will travel to darkened stars, tiny planets that once held life and are now full of monsters and other horrors, in order to restore its prism (essentially heart) and free it from Malice.
Characters that are brought into the game are placed on one of six teams. Each team has a theme in which characters are encouraged to create bonds that help fight back malice. These teams are often forced to compete against one another due to an evil that is attempting to stop their mission. Players have the choice of bringing their character into the game with their powers and memories intact, or are allowed to strip either the character's powers OR memories (but not both) and are able to earn them back. It's up to the player!
Rin retains all of her memories and also still possesses her curse. Neither Tohru nor Kyou, however, have their memories yet and are new to the game. We'd absolutely adore more castmates though! Please check the game out and feel free to PM me or poke me here if you have any questions!

Hello there! The game isn't all that large! None of the teams are full at the moment, so I'd place it as a small game imo. There's about 30 characters. If the teams were to all fill up I know there is the potential for the mods to add more teams though. I enjoy having the teams because you have a solid place to start for CR since your character's life sometimes depends upon your teammates! The events and games can range from silly to traumatic, so I feel like there is a healthy mix of things. I tend to appreciate that since I don't mind tossing Tohru at difficult games, but I also like the opportunity for silly as well. It's the furuba way. Haha.
I would say the pace various a lot depending upon if there is a trail or an event taking place. It's been a little slow recently due to the holidays. When there's a trail things can move pretty quick at times. In downtime, while characters are focusing on bonds and mingles it can be a little more leisurely imo. One day in game might take a couple of days outside of the game-- it just depends. We usually simply move things forward when someone posts a new day. "Day 52", "Day 53", etc. So long as it doesn't interfere with a mod run trail/event then players can move the days along as they see fit mostly.
I'd say the game is pretty relaxed from what I've experienced so far and everyone has been very welcoming!
As a funny note, Rin is entirely tsun and trying not to let Tohru know that she-- well, knows her. As a result, since Tohru doesn't know her name yet from home, her team helped her come up with one-- ultimately its 'Chiharu', or 'Haru' for short.
Poor Rin was like 'WHY THIS, UNIVERSE.'
it's karma for not telling tohru her nameno subject
it's super cute that is tohru's name atm! haru would be pretty proud of it in a dumb way.
will there be a tdm coming up before the next app round?
no subject
And as Gil mentioned, we can help you navigate things if there's something you can't find. Looking at new games can be daunting at times I think.
no subject
and tbh i want to rp haru when i can, haha

Game is definitely small with a current cap of characters at 42 characters. Currently have 31. (If we filled up on teams, and had enough in the queue, potentially move up to 66 since I believe they only have two other team ideas in the wings currently.)
The pace is definitely on the leisurely side. Trials are usually events that happen on a day or a few days depending where activity increases, but that's because there's an OC time limit.
But it's also in a kind of 'separated' space in the setting while it occurs, so if your character misses it, it's totally legit to wander in and go 'wait, what happened????' ICly. OOCly, you know when trials are coming so can plan to be there or not and it's okay if you miss it!
AC is just participating in either a Trial post, Event Post, or Public Bond post once a month, so it's very easy to make AC. And most people are backtag friendly!
no subject
it's good to hear that if you miss an event that it's easy to sink back in without being confused. the ac is interesting but sounds like a plus to me.
no subject
Event Posts are usually things happening in the setting. Like when we get new characters, a post will be put up where they can intro themselves and that would be an Event Post. Bond posts are going more into specific game mechanics, mostly when someone goes 'hey, let's do this bonding exercise, but widescale.'
Also usually TDM's are early in the month but there is also this one from last month that people would be willing to poke, I'm sure.
