January 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:

μ → The Caligula Effect → eudemonics
Yuri → Doki Doki Literature Club → impurifies
Honoka Kousaka → Love Live! → korekara
Yuuri Wakasa → School-Live! → serrata
Rin Asunaro → Shelter → beautifulisolation
Karin Miyoshi → Yuki Yuna is a Hero → maku

... and a whole herd of OCs.

PREFERENCES:

→ No sex games – "sex friendly" games extremely tentative depending on the character in question and how horny the game is lol
→ Super interested in fantasy, sci-fi, slice of life so long as there's plot.
→ Games where characters can get into some degree of light-hearted hijinks on the regular will be VERY tempting
→ Games friendly to OCs as well as characters who don't have a ton of solid canon (i'm lookin at you, shelter)
→ Not interested in high intensity horror/trauma/etc.
→ Games with age requirements are probably not a great fit
→ Castmates are a lovely bonus but I'm also happy to be a LCW!
→ Not super fast paced because my schedule is all over the shop

Please don't recommend Aefenglom as I already have an app there and I have already checked out Prismatica and decided it's not for me!

[skittering]

so! i think asgard (asgardmods) might fit your preferences pretty well. c: the game ad is here for premise/game info, but:

it's fantasy adventure with metaplot (based in nordic mythos), the general mood is more lighthearted (especially in between events, where there have been things like pantheon-hosted scavenger hunts etc), we're super OC friendly and/or limited canon friendly to a degree (the latter is on a case by case basis), all horror elements are opt-out, and the pacing is a solid medium.

unfortunately we have no castmates to offer, but we love crosscanon shenanigans anyway. ♥

check it out if you're interested! note that a lot of the pages are currently being wholly revamped with new information, so entire neato game features have yet to be added to the FAQ for example - but all of that should be good to go by the time the TDM goes up and reserves open.

[beautifulisolation]

Ohh, thanks for pointing me over there! I'll hang on and see what the new info brings and maybe see about putting Rin on the TDM.

A quick question though! Will the new rules still hold characters to the "minimum of ten minutes of screentime" clause for appability? Rin is the one I'm mostly shopping around for and Shelter is like uhhh 6 minutes long LOL

[skittering]

actually, that one is getting dropped too! we now judge on a case-by-case basis depending on how well the app does at making them a 3-D fleshed out character despite lack of screentime, so there you go c:

[dont_notice_me]

=drapes over a piano=

May I interest Yuri in joining thesphererp ?

I play Sayori there and right now there's a ghost event going on where Sayori is gonna spot Yuri's ghost and well, it's not gonna be a fun time ajhfgak

Anyways, we have a slightly "old" TDM here if you wanna take a shot at that before diving in! Everyone there is pretty chill with pacing and the AC is very lax.

[impurifies]

I just had a look, and I don't think it'd be a great fit for what I'm looking for right now, unfortunately! I tend to burn out really fast on games with even optional horror elements so I don't think I'd be a good match.

I hope you find some of the Literature Club girls to come join you, though!

[dont_notice_me]

It's cool! I'll have my fingers crossed for you to find games that suit you as well!

[neosapienmods]

if AUs are on the table, our game is definitely OC friendly and we've got that mix of plot and light-hearted hijinks you're sniffing for!

we have an AU Workshop and TDM up for the month if you want to check things out!
