July 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.

personality clashes are the best ngl, and i love soulmates so this is perfect already! six thinks he's garbage anyway... no one should be soulmates with him. u_u i can au six into dmmd world (i barely remember it but uh-) or we can just handwave the setting to keep it simple. as long as six can keep his ears. 🥺

[singingintherain]

Please keep the ears. Please torment Clear with the desire to want to pet them. I'm also down for some vague sci-fantasy setting that can be developed as needed for us to keep things we like best about our characters. Clear can just as easily be powered by magic instead of science, for example.

Today is one of my days off so I'm pretty computer accessible today. (I'm an EST 9-5 worker so you can find me around most evenings otherwise.) I have an open musebox I can brainstorm a rough starter into if you'd like me to do so. I can also follow you somewhere if you'd like to take control of the starting setting!

[wray]

he will definitely torment clear with them!! they're soft, so... 😤 but sci-fantasy setting works for me! we can develop it as we go. c:

if you don't mind setting up the starter, that'll be great! it's also my day off today (9-5 pst so also free most evenings + weekends) but i do my best to tag back at least once a day. backtags are my lifeblood. if you want to boomerang, you can always just poke me for that too. i'm excited. ;n;

[singingintherain]

That works for me! I'm a slower writer in general. Even "boomeranging" for me is like a tag an hour. A daily tag exchange would be perfect, honestly, but if our boys mesh well and we end up syncing up for lazy boomerangs, I won't say no!

A couple questions to guide me the right direction as I brainstorm: what's your preferred tag length, and do you like prose or bracket formatting? I can get pretty wordy myself, with shorter tags to move things along when big descriptions/introspection aren't necessary.

I'm thinking I'll start just some rainy city day walkabout with Clear feeling restless and searching. He'll confuse "soulmate" feels for "NEW MASTER!" feels. And as a sidenote, I love when romance plots expand alongside more story-like ones, so if there's anything like that you're inspired to throw in along the way, let me know! I'm excited too, I hope they mesh. ;u;

[wray]

oh, perfect! i'm pretty slow myself so i think it'll work out just fine. no pressure on boomeranging but awesome if the stars align hehe.

i prefer brackets and i have no hard prefs with regards to tag length. i can get wordy or as short as the thread needs me to be to move it along! so i'm thinking the starter can be a bit wordy to set things up then it can be whatever length afterwards. i'm pretty easygoing though... thirst will fuel my words- i mean, uh.

but that works! rainy day is perfect and will be easy to shove six into meeting clear for the first time. &yes please, we can def. work out an overarching storyline on top of shippy feels. i have nothing in mind for now but that's never stopped me from coming up with one on the fly!! we can prolly do smth with clear being a dye music android one day huffs

[singingintherain]

Don't huff you are not the least little bit wrong. It's such a good and reliable source of plot drama, hee~

But alright, have a starter! Please bear with me as I work the rust off my writing brain. Looking forward to seeing how this goes. <3 I finally found your info post for Six and had all kinds of 'oh no, this could be perfect' reactions to it. Fingers crossed!

[wray]

it really is.. also random but clear's route made me cry so much. i love him.

this is perfect!! thanks so much, i'll write up a reply asap. and i hope it's okay i tag in present tense? it's what i'm used to but no need to match it or anything! ;n; and lmfosdf i probably should have linked you that sooner but i'm glad. i think they'll be super cute ❤

[singingintherain]

Friend, if it hadn't made me cry too, I probably wouldn't play him so much. <3 His plot tropes and personality archetypes are all favorites of mine.

But yes, present tense is fine! I went past tense there since it was stage setting but present will fit with things actually "happening". c:

[wray]

that's so valid. u_u he's a really good boy.

but that makes sense!! hopefully my tag is okay but lmk if not! we can probably move to pms now for anything else that may come up. c: ❤
