enablemeplz | November 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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

OFFERING:
Shinobu Jacobs | No More Heroes (specifically taken from the Travis Strikes Again spinoff)
Laughing Beauty | Metal Gear Solid 4
Angela Carpenter | Carole & Tuesday

Ana Amari | Overwatch (tentative)
Zarya | Overwatch (tentative)

PREFERENCES:
First off, I know I'm picky af, so my apologies.

+ Sex games are perfectly okay with me (except for Angela and probably Ana - no one is gonna want that 60 year old booty)
+ Future and modern (or anything 80sish - if your navigation page looks like a rainbow vomited into it, I'll probably love it) settings are my preference!
+ Something with even just the smallest bit of plot is great (like if there's a monthly event? Perfect! Anything too sandboxy is going to lose my interest)
+ That said, I do like a little room for slice-of-life and more lighthearted things too!
+ Something about medium pace is ideal! I have a wildly unpredictable retail hell work schedule that sometimes delays my tags up to two days (but I generally will tag once or twice a day). So nothing too fast that'll leave me in the dust if I can't be on all the time, but not too slow that I'll lose interest either.
+ If there's any mission based games out there, that works out great for just about any of my characters (except Angela, a pop star can only do so much!!!)

* I'm perfectly okay with being a lone canon warrior, though I'm happy to play in casts that might want any of my ladies too!
* Historical/fantasy/steampunk/AU settings are a harder sell for me, but I'm willing to consider if the game looks interesting enough.
* Really not into transformation stuff, but willing to consider if I can go super mild with it and it's not permanent.
* Probably not looking to app until at least January
* Willing to try out PSLs

- I just can't get into horror games anymore, sorry!
- Not really into survival games either
- No memloss
- No games outside of DW
- No crazy high AC requirements or anything that requires me to be around at set times

No castmates to speak of (unfortunately) but I think

lastvoyages lines up with what you're looking for. It's a bit of an older game, but it's steady with monthly events, and it has a "everyone is your castmate" philosophy that's worked out great for me. It's set on a space cruiser with a warden/inmate system where characters come on board as one or the other and then get paired up; wardens aim to reform/redeem inmates with a "deal" from the Admiral as a reward, and inmates change their ways to earn another chance at life. Wardens have a lot more freedoms around the ship, but the inmate system makes it a great game for villains (and people who like to butt heads with villains.) It's a good place to work through characters' neuroses and we're very much encouraged to develop new futures for our characters. If you like redemption/healing stories, it might be a good fit for Laughing Beauty, and there's a lot of space for "morally grey" characters like Shinobu who use violent methods to achieve their goals and could have either a lot of insight as a warden or go into being an inmate aware of what kind of work they have to do to graduate. The Admiral offering a deal for a successful redemption is great bait for a character who really wants something –– like, Shinobu could take the job with the end goal of getting her father's life back. (Lmao it's been a handful of years since I played NMH but I think that's how it goes!)

The ship occasionally visits ports or passes too close to worlds and gets "breached" by them (ie, a couple months back the ship became the Snowpiercer train), so there's lots of space to explore. Sometimes the breach events have an AU twist –– AUs aren't really my thing either but it's neat to explore temporarily.

Aaaand AC is two posts or 30 comments a month. :)

I can hit most of your preferences with

voidtreckerexpress, I think! Characters are on a train that travels through the space between worlds and visits systems and planets in peril to save them from assorted disasters, and spends the time between those missions in voidspace living their lives on what is otherwise a train with limited modern convenience but plenty of character. We've described it as "Kingdom Hearts but with a train instead of gummi ships" in the past. There's a metaplot revealed through missions and events, so there's something to grind one's mystery teeth on, but there's also a lot of space for characters to get up to more or less whatever, so long as you don't need to leave the train. The game runs at 2:1 time scale, so each month ICly is two months OOC, and AC is 2 threads of 5 comments a month. We've also got Orisa and Sigma for castmates for your Overwatch ladies. Backtagging is absolutely a thing and you can use old threads for AC, so retail hell isn't a problem - I'm in that boat myself. If it sounds interesting, there's no rush, apps just closed for the month so you've got time to poke around.
