March 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.

Re: mostly OCs (+dmmd, james bond) for all kinds of PSLs

[sea_green]

oh lawd hello I love everything here

I'd be super interested in working something out either with existing OCs or something new entirely and getting in that sweet, sweet worldbuilding action.

Your ideas, oh my, I think I want all of them? ALso rivals-to-lovers is excellent I agree

I have Levi here who is a grade-a full fledged demon, but again I'm also open to rustling up something new, I also have a fae OC

basically yes please everything here.

[crawly]

hi! okay, excellent. demons/angels-verse has been the setting of my last two PSLs and i'm down to do stuff in that universe again. i also like science-and-magic mingling, especially in a far future science fiction setting.

if you'd like to play Levi i can see who i have that would work well with him!

[sea_green]

So, if you're down for it I'm game, though if you'd rather do something different I can more than accomodate!

I really like the space pirate idea as well, and the supernatural one so if you want to do more with either of those that'd be spiffy. Either with my existing smol crop of OCs or new guys entirely for the sake of the story, it's been ages since I've got to get really into a good PSL with specific characters/worldbuilding so I'd be SO up for doing something like that.

I'm open to playing with Levi or any of my kids, here is my muselist if there's anybody (canon or OC) who takes your interest, or as I say I'm game for plotting out something/someone shiny and new to fit the setting we go with.

(As an aside, I've never actually seen a bond movie and only know about them through cultural osmosis but I still kind of love Q and if there's anybody of mine you'd want to throw in with him for anything I'd also be up for that)

[crawly]

i have a pretty developed universe for the sci-fi prompt actually! it involves a combination of magic and technology, particularly a slant towards multiple dimensions/eldritch horrors in space rather than in the ocean or darkness. the main character i have for that universe is a guy who was the face of a commercial-military complex and ended up venturing so far into space that he got somewhat possessed and now can channel voices/visions. lots of space adventuring and doomsday prophesying ensues, etc. he's still cheery and friendly so he can get along with most people though! maybe would be fun with klaus?

Q is pretty easy to play with! if you have any characters that might end up in a secret agency or needing other "tech support" he's easy to throw in.

[sea_green]

Oh he does sound fun! If you wanted to do the smuggler/smugglee (totally a word) kind of prompt which role would you be looking to play? He does sound like he might be fun to throw up against Klaus so I'd be up for that if he's who you want XD

Technically in comics Dick does end up as an actual secret agent, though I've not ready any of those ones.. but still superheroing needs tech support right? Also any of the Assassins would work for that too.

[crawly]

Smugglee almost sounds like Snuggie... but he'd be good as the smuggler! He's a pilot by trade and I could write him skimming around the galaxy and doing odd jobs after breaking from his company/government. And Klaus was my favorite character from Umbrella Academy! Plus mixing his powers with alien ghosts + space horror visions sounds like fun to me.

I'm not familiar with most of your other canons including those but I think Dick as a hero needing tech support would be great! Q could be an underground supplier of tech + end up involved.

I could write a starter for the first set-up—maybe Klaus is being transported (willingly or unwillingly?) as an "asset" for Reginald—if that sounds interesting! I don't know nearly as much about the superhero canons, but I'm down to start a second thread on that front too.

[sea_green]

That definitely sounds interesting, I'd be up for that! I imagine Klaus will probably be being dragged there unwillingly (he maybe has worked for Reginald in the past, or been brought up by him a la canon, but has run off to live his life of drugs and parties and Reginald has decided he needs to come back - so of course he hires somebody to transport him because he's an asshole)

I like the idea of Q being a supplier, maybe Dick is stuck in an unfamiliar city (could even throw in some cross-universe shenanigans just to make it easier for dealing with canonblindness maybe?) and hears about Q and comes to him?
