June 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.

I'm terrible at decision making and so I'm voice-testing a tiny horde of Ishgardian NPCs-- Estinien, Haurchefant and Aymeric, and would love to play something out, so long as you're okay with me potentially being a little shaky voice-wise at least at first.

I generally aim at smut-things, but I'm perfectly capable of not and I think smut stuff is at it's best when it's in a wider context anyway so long and convoluted is no issue at all.

I am, however, only just barely into Stormblood and would prefer to limit any spoilers-- sometimes things are just kind of inevitable, but setting something within or just barely after Heavensward would be my preference. (Typically I'm also a great lover of AU stuff but since this is voicetesting, I'd prefer to stick fairly close to canon.)

[haillenarte]

hello there! you sound wonderful at decision-making actually — those are all such top tier choices from heavensward!!

i love to help people voicetest, so no pressure to be incredibly IC right away, and it's no problem if it turns out you think you can't write a character! i won't be upset if you feel you need to drop a thread or anything like that LOL... it's super easy for me to avoid all stormblood and shadowbringers spoilers too, so no worries on that front. and i'm happy to lean into smut if that's more fun for you! i don't advertise it, but i can absolutely be trashy so Ψ(｀▽´)Ψ

were you feeling one of your characters more than the others? i am... an avid multithreader when i'm not catching up on a backlog, so i will be very happy to write you starters for all of them LMAO but we can start off with just one if that sounds a little too crazy!

i will say that if we set things after heavensward, francel is quite likely to be rather angsty and upset because, well, looks at heavensward. looks at haurchefant. looks at him lingering day after day by haurchefant's monument at providence point. but that's not a bad thing on my end! i do prefer writing him post-heavensward anyway, but i can take him from the pre-hw era if you'd prefer to deal with a happier francel!

[jumptoconclusions]

I mean, post-Heavensward does suggest not playing at least one of those three characters. >_>

I'm not going to be able to wholly choose just one to play, that's why I'm voicetesting all three of them, so any of them are fine. I'm perfectly happy to come up with plots but I'm equally perfectly happy to run along behind someone else's plot, so if you do have anything you've been dying to play/do, let's do that. :)

Is there something on BS that's caught your attention recently? Narrowing down a what could also help with a whom. Or we could go for all three, I'm not opposed to that-- that's just trying to figure out what to DO with three of them at once though.

Also, if you're on plurk, I'm seastheday

[haillenarte]

LAUGHING no you're right... you're right. good night, sweet knight... may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest

but okay! if it's no trouble to you, i can absolutely write separate threads for all three of your characters! do you mind if i send you a private plurk so we can talk things out a bit more? you'll get a friend request from me over at charlemend!
