February 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.

Yooo, I have a question! How do you feel about Dai Gyakuten Saiban/The Great Ace Attorney? Because forgottentales sounds like a game you might enjoy, with very easy AC, plot campaigns and characters adopting powers/quirks based on fairytale/fictional characters. Thing is, we have no mainline Ace Attorney characters, only two DGS characters. Needless to say, there are some Dai Gyakuten spoilers abound and especially with rumors of Great Ace Attorney Chronicles coming to the West, I can see how that might deter.

[iobject]

Ooh la la. That does sound like an enticing premise. I can't say I know much about The Great Ace Attorney; does it involve anyone from the original cast?

[greatestdefective]

Teeechnically, no. The Great Ace Attorney is a spin-off series set around the year 1900. Ryuunosuke Naruhodou, great(?)-grandfather of Ryuuichi Naruhodou (aka Phoenix Wright) travels from Japan to Great Britain as part of a law student exchange project. He ends up solving murder mysteries with Sherlock Holmes, because of course any attorney roaming London in 1900 would end up becoming buddies with the great Sherlock Holmes! That's just common sense! So because it takes place in a different country in a different time period, the original cast itself isn't involved. Still, there's a few fun little nods to the main Ace Attorney games here and there.

Dai Gyakuten Saiban had its two games released in Japan in 2015 and 2017, and for the longest time it seemed like it would remain a Japan-exclusive, with limited Western audiences taking it in through fansubs and translated Let's Plays. Understandable, because this game is difficult to localize for several different reasons, such as the Canon Doyle Estate being protective of Sherlock's copyright, having to acknowledge that Phoenix's ancestor would've been Japanese, etc. Buuuut Capcom was hacked, information was leaked and it seems like there may be an official announcement soon about the game being properly released here in the West for a few different consoles under the name of Great Ace Attorney Chronicles. (Sherlock's name will presumably be changed to Herlock Sholmes to avoid the copyright problems, which is hilarious.)

So yeah, that's the problem here. DGS is very obscure at the moment, but it may very well be mainstream in less than a year's time.

[iobject]

Well, I was spoiled for a fair bit of the original trilogy and I still enjoyed it, so I'm sure I could enjoy the Great Ace Attorney Chronicles too. Is there a TDM?

[chippedsoul]

Slipping in here to say, hello! I'm the other DGS castmate and a helper mod at FT. We'll be posting another TDM and Workshop on the 6th! If you don't want to wait, here are the last workshop and TDM you can check out. We generally don't post Workshops/TDMs monthly and usually quarterly since we're on the slow, small game side.

If you have any other questions, feel free to poke me or Meowzy up top.

[greatestdefective]

Haha, I see my castmate has appeared! Yep, the new Test Drive is going up in two days, but you can always have a look at the previous Test Drive to see how everyone else handled it and get some inspiration. The Workshop is where you can iron out the details of your character's 'essence' (the fictional character they'll inherit powers/traits/wardrobe from), and it doesn't really matter whether you've already chosen an essence or are looking for advice; the Workshop works for either!

I'm already envisioning Phoenix with a Sherlock Holmes essence, because that would be wonderful irony, but there's so many directions you can take. You can go classic fairytale, you can go folklore, you can go greek/roman myth... Stories like Jekyll and Hyde, the Count of Monte Cristo, Don Quixote- they're all allowed. And you can be really creative with the powers, too. Like, say a story at one point features any kind of fire, your character could have fire magic. The only thing to really watch out for is whether someone else already has the essence you're considering.

As Taisa said, if you have any questions, feel free to hit either of us up! We're on Plurk, we're on Discord, we're everywhere.

[iobject]

Oooh, Sherlock Holmes does sound interesting! Maybe I should consider that too.

I posted one the workshop to bandy around ideas. I'd love to hear both of your input!
