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.

ABSOLUTELY NO obnoxious coding (no font size > size 4 or 3 "big" tags, no banners, no blinking text, no obnoxious tables, no sparklies, no 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 frozen and/or deleted.

FOR CHARACTER ADS:

Put up an ad about the characters you are offering. For PSL/1-on-1 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/1-on-1 section, where you post the 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.

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. Try not to recommend the same game to every single ad, either.

Hello, hello! We at [community profile] empatheias have Jade (me) and Dist! There's also a good number of Tales characters around, in case that's your kind of jam! Emp is basically SoL with an overarching plot, and is basically adventures in an island where emotions affect the environment! We have more information here and the December TDM is currently up over here.

Oh my, Jade and Dist, that must be quite a combo with emotions!

Oooh, I have a lot of friends in Emp so I'm kind of aware of it! I tend to have a harder time integrating to SOL, can you give me an example of an adventure or event to give me an idea of game happenings?
jeido: commissioned art. do not take (speaking - might be explaining something)

At least they didn't blow up the island during their first meeting? Things are somewhat better now, though. But still awkward. Definitely awkward.

Right now, the plot focus is on excursions and exploration, and this month's was checking out Aiada's domain. Last month, we got a new city, though things are admittedly a little slower around now (November and December) because of the holidays. But yes, that's where the adventuring part comes in, because the places are rather... colorful, to say the least.

Basically, the way it works is that there's stuff on the task board which you can sign-up for, then build a thread around with yourself and/or other people! The tasks can be SOL-ish or more plot-y or adventure-y depending what you want to sign up for! Since you mentioned you have lots of friends in Emp, it probably won't be too difficult to get people to join in with you for adventuring shenanigans! I can't give a more personal example of a recent adventure (unless you want a fight thread?), since I've been admittedly focusing on more SOL things and Jade's on a break from adventuring this month. Recovering from a broken arm he got in one of the special tasks, though that's not to say he hasn't been biting off more than he can chew, like maybe pissing off some of the more dangerous members of the FMA cast whether intentionally or not.

The place is also very player plot/event friendly! Though I can only speak for the Dangan Ronpa cast, since there's a bit of an overarching plot with them involving the main antagonist of the game. I wasn't in Emp yet when it happened, but there was a class trial of sorts a few months ago and it also involved non-Dangans! I won't go into further details because of spoilers for DR (unless you're OK with spoilers and/or are canon familiar), but here's a link in case you want to know more about it!
