November 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.

Offering: Robyn Hill | RWBY
For: Private Story Lines, Memes, & Games
Preferences: Slow to medium pace, memory loss not required, combination of plot and casual events/threads. For games a test drive being available is preferred.

[badluckblues]

hi-five to your excellent character choice, first of all. if only i weren't terrible at keeping up with memes lksflks

in any case there are good sized RWBY casts at erku (slow-to-medium paced sandboxy smut game) and deerington (medium-to-fast paced plotty horror game) and, I believe, some RWBYs being TDMed at Isle of Avalon avalonmods who I can definitely vouch for as being good people!

[mantleoftruth]

It's alright, apparently I still need to work on getting up to the social networking part of online RP.

I'll probably pass on erku, it sounds fun, but not quite comfortable enough for smut things with Robyn just yet. And I had planned to apply to deerington last month but missed the window due to personal things and the insanity of the election. I think that it kind of upset everyone because I haven't heard anything back from the messages I've sent. But I would be glad to test-drive again.

Avalon is new though, I'll check it out.

[badluckblues]

no problem, that's understandable!!

the deerington cast is definitely not upset! they're all very friendly and chill, and more than happy to have more people to plot with. if you use Discord, would you like a chat invite? it's totally ok to jump in even if you don't end up joining, as it's also a very good place for RWBY chatter and meta discussion in general.

no worries if you're not into chatting tho, I'll let everyone know what happened in Nov and share the link if you TDM again :)

[mantleoftruth]

Unfortunately I don't have a discord, and I could remember if it was that or twitch that was brought up before to make one. ^^;

Thank you. I enjoyed things, but I wasn't sure if someone else had caught their attention or if I'd done something, so it's a bit of a relief to hear that that.

[badluckblues]

probably Disco! that and plurk aren't strictly necessary for dwrp, but they help with plotting and organization of CR and such.

btw, I play Raven (kindredlinks) at deer!

[mantleoftruth]

That was the other one, plurk. I should probably make a list of what all I need to get on. Any recommendations for what to have in her journal?

Raven! It would be interesting to see how she would deal with Robyn.

[badluckblues]

Plurk and Discord should do you! my plurk is urgentmatters, feel free to add if/when you get one. i got onto dwrp only about ~2yrs ago so i totally get how overwhelming the social networking seems at first.

good things to start a journal with are: app and/or a short character bio and description, OOC/IC permissions and content warnings, an IC inbox (for characters to leave personal messages as if they're exchanging texts on a phone or communication device), and a kinklist if you plan on writing nsfw. dreamcodes is a good place to look for resources for these things!

and yeah I agree!! Raven would totally hate dealing with Robyn's semblance, lol...

[mantleoftruth]

Thank you for the advice. I'll work on trying to get most of that in.

It seems that a lot of people do, wonder why that is.

[bolstafir]

we’re definitely not upset at all! deerington’s qrow here, and i was actually planning to ask if you were still interested in apping :D (November also kicked my ass so I never got around to tagging her tdm last time myself)

we’ve all been talking about how cool it would be to have a robyn at some point so if you’d like to join us we’d be thrilled to have you /o/

[mantleoftruth]

Thank you for letting me know. I would like to test drive and try again sometime then, hopefully things won't be as crazy this time.

[bolstafir]

hopefully!! i look forward to seeing her. c:

also, if you get a discord and want to join us in the chat, let us know so we can invite you!

[mantleoftruth]

Just tossed her on the TDM again. I'm working towards making a discord & Plurk, but have a few things left to work on in her journal.

[bolstafir]

aaaah i see you've apped! that's exciting :D

whenever you get around to making a discord let us know, we'll drop you an invite to the cast chat /o/

[mantleoftruth]

Should be sometime this evening. It's the next thing on my to do list.

[mantleoftruth]

Managed to work my way through the list. Discord: Unkeyboardinated#9761 & Plurk: Unkeyboardinated. Need to work on getting them set up, but both have been created now.

[bolstafir]

Yay! I’ll add you on plurk; I’m @ goodluckmodes!

[clickclickbloom]

Not upset at all!

If I missed a message from you I apologize but last month was pretty crazy.

Either way we would love to have you at Deer!

[mantleoftruth]

Thank you.

It's alright, I should have probably followed up again when things weren't as hectic. Seems like it was a crazy month for everyone.

[clickclickbloom]

Communication can be hard. If you end up getting discord feel free to add jjabarrett#9701 and I'd be happy to add you to the deerington cast chat. Or I'll be keeping an eye on the tdm if you pop back in.

Your Robyn is fantastic and we'd love to have her.

[mantleoftruth]

More so when you're a few pages behind everyone else on what's used. I remember using AIM a lot back in my youth, wasn't sure what all has come up to replace it. But I'll look into making one after my D&D session tonight.

When does the next TDM go up? And thank you, your Ruby has been pretty fantastic as well.

[clickclickbloom]

It happens. I remember those days myself so don't feel too old about it.

The TDM is already up https://soddersays.dreamwidth.org/63364.html

And apps open on the 5th and close on the 10th.

Aww thanks so much!

[mantleoftruth]

I will try to drop in once I get a few things in her journal then. I should be free enough to get something in with that window.

You're welcome.

[clocktowers]

Just another driveby "we'd love to have you" as a Deerington RWBY! I play this totally trustworthy headmaster from another kingdom, nothing to see here, never told a lie in his life.




He will hate her Semblance so much.

[mantleoftruth]

Totally trustworthy, absolutely nothing suspicious about him at all. A complete Beacon of honesty and integrity. She just can't wait to have the chance to shake his hand.

It has that effect on people.
