February 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 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.

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:
- canonmates always a plus, not a requirement
- simple AC system
- will check out any genre, but i lean more towards games with breathing room for character/CR development over all heavy metaplot all the time, etc.

i have lance here in [community profile] aefenglom, a fantasy game in which characters are either witches or monsters. they're are encouraged to form bonds with one another, and the ultimate goal is to stop an infection called cwyld from infecting the land and its inhabitants living in unprotected areas.

other than lance, we have keith, shiro, and an allura! keith and lance are monsters (vampire and merrow respectively), and shiro and allura are witches. i only joined last month but i think there's ample room for cr and character development! as a head's up, this month has an app cap. still, we'd really love to see hunk or coran!

ALTERNATIVELY, i'm also in [community profile] victory_road which has a big voltron cast, but we're missing a hunk and a coran! i play romelle there and i'm pretty sure one of my castmates is going to jump on this soon so i'll leave that to them \o/

hey there!! first of all, i can't get over what an amazing set of characters you've got (ds9 is def my fave of the star treks). second of all, if you're into Pokémon at all, i'm part of the Voltron cast we have over at Victory Road and would love to have you come join us! the only people we're missing from Team Voltron are... well, Hunk and Coran!

if you're interested, here's VR's profile!!! :D :D

Oh, hello, fancy meeting you here! I'm currently playing Allura over at [community profile] victory_road, and we'd be absolutely delighted to have either Hunk or Coran! If you like Pokemon, shenanigans, and plenty of room to just roam around and do what you want, Victory Road is a great place to be.

There's a brand new TDM up right now. We have a large cast featuring all of the paladins except for Hunk, and including Romelle and James Griffin. The AC requirements are pretty straightforward and simple, and there are lots of fun events that are easy to participate in without being overwhelming. You can earn gym badges to become a pokemon master! Currently, Allura is traveling with Keith, Romelle, Shiro, and James in Kanto. They're about to start taking on the gym challenges there.

Come give us a look, and feel free to message me if you have any questions!

Hi there! I'm the Lance over at [community profile] victory_road and we would L O V E to have either Hunk or Coran. You'll def have a ton of canonmates to play with and also a large amount of room for shenanigans to develop crosscanon CR with. VR is nice in that we have events you can take part in or ignore if you don't have time or inclination to take part in and you don't get dinged for it. There's so much breathing room for growth and as someone who's been there for a few years now, I can say I love the freedom I have to do my own thing within the Pokemon world. I like to say it's a game for people who like to have their characters make Pokemon OCs (because boy do some of Lance's Pokemon have Personalities with a capital P lol) and live the good life. Right now, Lance lives with Shiro, Matt, and Pidge in Shiro's island house being the sea baby that he is, raising mostly water Pokemon. He hasn't really gotten more than one gym badge yet for various reasons, so you don't have to take on battles if you don't want to. The opportunity is there to just chill.

AC is about 14 comments per month or so spread across two threads and AC accepts posts both on the in-game network, log posts, or even character contact posts! It's a very forgiving system and the pace is pretty slow and backtag friendly.

I'd encourage you (along with the rest of my canonmates who already jumped on this because we're an easily excitable bunch) to take a look and maybe poke the TDM that's been put up today!

If you like high fantasy and are okay with AU type games, you might enjoy [community profile] adventureho! It's a game set up to give players as much freedom as possible to form adventuring parties, explore the world, and even run adventures of their own for other players. The AC is easy, and players are free to join adventure parties with a pace that matches their preferences. Personally I'm a huge fan of all these characters, and though they're from sci-fi backgrounds, fitting them into a fantasy AU could be interesting and a lot of fun.
