January 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.

Oh gosh, hello! I'd love that so much, you have no idea. Do you have anything you've been wanting to do? So much is up in the air with these two based on canon point and the like, but they deserve something cute and fluffy (with or without angst).

[spiritoso]

HI SORRY FOR TAKING A COUPLE DAYS! honestly i want to do everything with these two haha but i do have a couple of ideas!!

i really like fix-its so either shuichi could figure out what kaede is up to before she actually goes through with it! and it's a really vague idea right now but a time loop where everything resets after the first trial is also something i'd like to play out (i'm really weak for time loops haha). but i'm also open to stuff with the talent development plan and any other aus!! is there anything you have in mind?

[shyichi]

Shhh, take all the time you need! But oh my God, OUCH... I love both ideas so much?! I didn't have anything concrete in mind, but I'm way too on board with either a pre-murder scenario or a time loop! I think Shuichi is sharp enough to piece things together under the right circumstances, so if he noticed any of the things she did that didn't add up (the camera's flash, the books, the vent, the shot put ball) he would definitely approach her about it. I think the only problem is that we'd need to decide on what would actually happen if the time limit ran out, but that shouldn't be too hard!

But like.... a time loop sounds like maximum angst and I'm majorly here for that. Ugh. I'm also super weak to time loops or reset button scenarios, so I'd love to work that out with you! Are you thinking of something where they keep their memories in full, or only have partial recollection?

tl;dr: I realize how unhelpful this is, but I'm down for either! Do you prefer one scenario over the other?

[spiritoso]

it's such a hard decision... i really like time loops, though, so i'd like to try that out first! we can always do the other one at another time, since it really wouldn't be too hard to come up with what happens after he approaches her about it!

as for the time loop... i think partial recollection would be a lot of fun! or we could even do only one of them having full/partial recollection for maximum angst... honestly i could go either way with that, if you have a preference!

[shyichi]

That sounds great to me! Full might be a little hard to deal with, angsty as it sounds, so I'm leaning toward the idea of partial recollection that they piece together along the way. It might be fun if both of them have it and slowly come to realize what's going on (at different times/with different memories, maybe?), but I'm also down with it being only one of them!

I'm taking bets now on whether Shuichi's suddenly going to feel like sobbing when he sees her again and have no idea why... This is already so much.

[spiritoso]

ahhh sorry for taking so long to get back to you but i also like the idea of them piecing things together!! i think it'd be fun to have it happen at different times, so it can be both of them!

poor shuichi..... i can't wait!

is there somewhere you would like to do this? i can always write something up, but if you'd like to put it in your own musebox that's fine too!

also i just thought about when the loop should start... i'm up for any point, really! i'm thinking either after introductions and learning why they're there or after trying to escape from through that tunnel could be good points! but we could always have them repeat the loop a few times and start at different points in time too.

[shyichi]

That's perfect! I'm so excited, oh no... This is going to be a wild ride.

I do have a musebox, but I'm admittedly terrible when it comes to writing starters, since I tend to overthink them and take too much time writing them out. I can definitely do it if you don't want to (so don't hesitate to ask if that's more comfortable for you!) but if you have an easier time with it, I'd really appreciate it!

As far as the loop starting goes... It would be kind of tedious if they had to go through trying to escape from the tunnel each time, so sometime after that may be best. Maybe sometime around when Shuichi finds and approaches her about the hidden door would work, since it would give them a reason to meet! Or even while they're meeting or talking about it in the library, if you don't want to thread that part out again.

[spiritoso]

and then my internet went out... but same i'm very excited!!!

and i'm more than happy to do the starter! i can get the post up today and i'll pm it to you!

after the tunnel sounds good to me, so i think shuichi approaching her about the door would work perfectly!

[shyichi]

Oh no... I hope you're staying warm in the winter storms, if they're affecting you! Seriously, I'll backtag forever, so there's no rush!

Ah, that's perfect! Thank you so much!
