December 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.

HEY HOT ROD, wanna crash a Decepticon party?

[community profile] databurst fits your preferences! It's a brand new city jamjar set in a neon-synth computer simulation. It's capped at 60 characters, and just over half those spots are taken right now, so it won't become a large game. There's no humanization and mechs can even keep their full size (although there are game mechanics that can shrink them if you prefer).

In addition to Knock Out here, we've also got Soundwaves in both TFP and IDW flavour already in game :)

A new test drive meme just went up yesterday, and reserves open on the 1st.

Hi there!

I was actually looking at Data Burst when it was first being advertised! It seems pretty interesting and I was definitely looking at it for Roddy. Just got a little overwhelmed when looking through the pages since there's a lot of information and set-up for the game's (amazing!) worldbuilding so if it's alright to ask you:

Since you're already in the game with Knock Out, and I assume since it opened!, do you have any suggested pages I should look at in particular that would relate to Hot Rod? Or pieces of information that would be relevant for the franchise he's in? I'll be keeping those bits in mind while I check out the TDM - which I will toplevel! - and see if I can shake out a rough WIP app for him this weekend!

Haha yeah, sorry about the large amount of info! But the easiest way to look at it is that the FAQ has the info that you as a player need, and the Setting page is more a "what characters experience" flavour. So definitely give the FAQ a read first, and then for IC context you can always delve into the extras in Setting.

As far as specifically for Roddy, the size/scale bit I mentioned is also on the FAQ under the "ACCEPTABLE CHARACTER TYPES" header, but basically it's that, TFs are large scale but they're not "flatten a building" large so they don't have to be adjusted unless the player wants them to be. Power nerfing is minimal so they can retain all their usual abilities. We're 3/6 out of the overall TF franchise cap so plenty of room! And canon-specific resources (so, energon) isn't a problem.

The game had a "soft launch" stage beginning Dec 15, the official game open is on Jan 2nd!

Thank you so much for the answers! This actually has almost all of the information I was wondering about for Hot Rod (especially energon source, ability scaling, and the current franchise cap if there was one) so, again, thank you for taking the time to answer them. I'll take a thorough look at the F.A.Q. first and then poke around the Setting page to get a gist/expectation for the game's feel.

I posted a toplevel on the TDM now! I'll be tagging around there in a bit so I'm definitely excited to give the setting a go and see how Hot Rod shakes out.

Whoops, sorry I was out all day. I'm glad that answered your questions! If any other ones crop up, you can always drop me a line, I'm usually around.

I'll definitely be hitting that top level tomorrow! (Because it's 1AM suddenly, wth...)
