April 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.

looking for a game to play Bruno Bucciarati (Jojo's Bizarre Adventure) in...!

prefs:

o medium-high activity
o not smut-focused
o not too slice-of-lifey. there needs to be some driving force to push him forward as he's very business-oriented
o castmates cherished but not necessary
o i will probably be bringing a trish with me, so preferably a game that allows characters under 18.

i have a soft spot for sci-fi and horror-type games, as well as mission-based ones!

Hello, and might I offer up VoidTreckers? VoidTreckers is no de-power, and sci-fi themed, and indeed mission based! Working on a 1:2 day calendar (so 1 IC day is 2 OOC), the game has a mission every other OOC month- with some sort of smaller, lower key event in the in-between months.

VoidTreckers takes place on a train travelling planet to planet through the multiversal void, with characters sorted into teams (but not mandatorily so; Emporio here often goes on team red despite being in Orange), and honestly it's been really fun so far. It's definitely active, and while I can't offer part 5 cast mates, we also have a pretty neat AU-Dio...and well, there's me, with canon Emporio Alniño.

More than that, Apps are actually still open until the 29th! So if it catches your attention, and Trish' attention (as you can see, it DEFINITELY allows characters under 18), be sure to go for it!

Oh gosh, hello! I'm admittedly not the best at this whole EMP thing, but I'm going to do my best to plug Ryslig to you and/or your Trish-playing friend.

So the basic premise of Ryslig is that it's a jamjar where characters will turn into a monster (mod-assigned, but based on character traits that you list in your app), who must then feed on human flesh/blood/souls/etc. to survive. I see you like horror, and a lot of the game certainly fits the bill, but I know the eating aspect is a little off-putting to some, so I thought I'd make sure to put that on the table! While many of the game's events are also horror-oriented, there is always a lot of freedom when it comes to opting out of them, and you are more or less free to make your monster designs as monstrous or pretty as you'd like, but the eating can't really be avoided, so... that's that.

The aforementioned freedom does mean people can play slice-of-life if they'd like, but as you might imagine, the basic premise alone means that's not a given! While some people have decided to simply try and make the best of their lives as monsters, others choose to follow one of the in-game gods - which does give you a little power ranking to move up in. Aside from that, there are plenty of player businesses and chances to make your own goals! No such thing as missions, sadly.

Uhhh what else. Activity is, indeed, on the medium-high level these days (individual players may vary, of course; plenty of people are backtag friendly!), and there are indeed castmates! Alongside Erina, Jolyne and Jonathan, we also have a Mista, a Giorno, and, well, a Doppio. That's me, hello. It's just Doppio though, since he's post-canon - just nevermind the details of how he's decided to cope with the whole people-eating thing. :V

Uhhh I feel like I'm definitely forgetting something but. That's my pitch! Feel free to ask any questions, and if you're interested, a new Test Drive is bound to go up in the next couple of weeks, as apps are bimonthly; they're scheduled to open again on May 24th. c:
