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.

so many ocs!

[longlineoflosers]

offering:

- Ellever Brandt (antiwhat), earnest half-Eldritch child of a creature named Conquest who is supposed to kick off the end of the world and doesn't; her 'verse is cryptid and cursed object-centric with a background of nine otherworldly creatures (e.g. Conquest) who want to come and jam in the physical world and ruin a good thing;
- Cyra Faucher (longlineoflosers), hedonistic half-Eldritch child of a creature called Death (who may or may not be that death), who is tasked with hunting down and destroying the big nasties that go scurrying in the night — and also the other Children; same 'verse as above;
- Cash Gillingwater (startedtheflamewar), a flirty marksman with healing and dream magic who works for the OSS; his 'verse is an alternate-universe WWII, where humans share soil with elves and magic and things turned out fairly different;
- Remiel (angelofhope), an archangel who has a sanctuary on Earth for extinct or threatened creatures to live in peace; his 'verse is one where Metatron was pretending to be God, to try and blend in with their creations, but when the angels found out there was a War and quite a few were cast out (not Rem, though); most angels live in the Heavens, and demons live in a dark place known to other immortal creatures as the Well, where they're trying to escape to Earth from;
- so, so many others, these jerks fly in and take hold...

seeking:

- folks who want to play with other OCs;
- anyone with a canon character who likes the sound of what I typed or have on my muselist;
- folks who want to play in a jamjar setting or come up with a big ol' mystery for why one character has popped over into the other 'verse (Cash's 'verse has a mechanic just for this), I'm good with either;
- establishing a 'plot' line for meme-age, so it's building every time instead of something new;
- I hope this makes it clear that I'm super not picky and I'd love opportunities to play my kids with yours, if you're game with any of this!

Re: so many ocs!

[autotelism]

hey! i have a growing list of ocs myself to be thrown into the fray. i made my own toplevel here if you want to take a look, but basically i'm down for anything.

do you have a character that you particularly want to develop or a plotline you want to explore at the moment? i've got a few eldritch/sci-fi ideas but i'm also open to trying something and winging it from there.

[longlineoflosers]

Hiii! c:

I've been trying to get out more with this girl, Cyra, and her 'verse is weird enough that I think she could mesh with just about anything. Ellever is also in that category! They're both part-eldritch so that could make things interesting?

[autotelism]

Yes! I think Cyra's universe would definitely work. For a hunter character I do have a werewolf guy who prefers the city. Could be a reluctant ally with a more light-hearted tone. I also have some other supernatural characters to work with!

[longlineoflosers]

That would be fun! Honestly, whatever character you're grooving on in that genre, I'm sure we can figure out something. :|a Collabing on locating a cryptid or cursed object might be a fun first meeting?

[autotelism]

Yeah! We can have them meeting to hunt something mothman-esque in the woods near the territory of one of them and wing it from there?

[longlineoflosers]

Sounds awesome. c: Do you have an open post you want me to hit or do you wanna meme it up? (If Bakerstreet has something that works...)

[autotelism]

I have an open post here!

[strewth]

i love ocs and urban fantasy shenans with john, who is basically an urban fantasy wizard in london if you're not canon familiar. he doesn't love angels a whole bunch, and i'm not sure how john would shake out in the alt au premise, but it sounds like he'd have interesting cr with the rest of your folks.

i'm v open to plotting & discussing if you're interested!

[longlineoflosers]

Hellooo! I'd love to do stuff with ol' John! c: Cyra and Ellever's 'verse might be best suited for him amongst my more active OCs, I have a little write up on it here if you'd like to read it. There aren't any angels or demons, it's just... horrible shadow monsters and their halfspawn, yay. I'm all for them being spit out into his 'verse, him ending up in their 'verse, or whatever you'd like to do!

[strewth]

reading that, it sounds like the exact sort of weirdness john would get caught up in, i love it. i'm all for john a sort of verse mixing, if that doesn't mess with how zier's stuff works. otherwise, him landing in los angeles-- regardless of the presence of monsters-- is sounds like his worst nightmare, so i'm down.

do you have anything in mind for a start? i'm down with writing a starter, tho i also have an index of open posts on memes bc i got the organization bug during quarantine lockdown :')

[longlineoflosers]

Always happy to facilitate a character's worst nightmare, haha! I don't have a particular starter in mind but I'm happy to write one. :|a Which meme do you think would work best for a first time meeting?

[tarquinius]

(same dude different journal)

I feel like a general rng meme would work p well, unless you have any objections. I'd be happy to start if you have any open posts floating about as well.

[longlineoflosers]

Sweet! Lemme know if you want to tweak anything, otherwise, we can just keep evolving this thing and see where it goes. c:
