September EMP Meme

[enablemeplz]

ENABLEMEPLZ meme goes up on the Second 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.

Comments

MCU, Marvel Comics

[quick_sass]

Offering:
-Pietro Maximoff [MCU]
-Tommy Shepherd [Marvel Comics]
-Billy Kaplan [Marvel Comics]
-Teddy Altman [Marvel Comics]
-David Alleyne [Marvel Comics]

Looking For:
Basically anything is fair game. I'm just looking for some PSLs to enjoy my life with. I welcome anyone from their canons or cross canon interaction (my only note is I haven't seen Shang-Chi yet, so I'd like to avoid spoilers).

I like Gen, shipping, AUs, off the wall stuff, memes, if you have an idea, I'm probably down to discuss it and see how we can have our fun. For Shipping Teddy and Billy are clearly m/m only, but I'll play the others in anything you might think of.

I tend to prefer longer term PSLs, but short stuff is also welcome, and I'd happy be recurring things in TFLN that just build upon interactions.

Other Notes:

-Usually I tag back quickly (especially with Tommy and Pietro amusingly), but that doesn't mean I don't love slow and steady taggers. I'm patient and have been known to keep a single thread or story line going for years.
-Preferred contact would be a response to this or PM to this journal, and if we do find we're enjoying things I'd happily add anyone on plurk or offer my discord information.
-Sometimes my brain will short circuit on making IDEAS for a PSL, but once I have one, I tend to be really eager to do starters, so if you're an idea person that isn't good at those, we might mesh really well!

[clouded_moon]

Izumo is a ninja/spy, and I've AU'd him into Marvel before. I'm only familiar with MCU, so I was thinking Pietro, but if you feel another of yours would mesh better, I'm down for it. Izumo tends to be more of an intel/behind the scenes kind of spy, but he's not adverse to stepping in to help someone in trouble.

So gen, action, a little meaningless flirtation, political oopses?

[quick_sass]

Oh he sounds very fun. I don't think that the others that I'm looking for stuff with right now would mesh nearly as much as Pietro. But he might be offended to think he is someone who is in trouble.

That all sounds very good. especially political oopsies. Pietro is probably REALLY good at making those.

[clouded_moon]

Hahaha well, Pietro might not be the one in trouble himself (though don't-really-need-a-rescue is hilarious to me, Izumo is above a standard human but miles below a superhero) they might be trying to nab help the same hapless victim?

Izumo sometimes causes political oopsies, sometimes by who he sleeps with, sometimes by deciding the underdog needs a chance, but he's generally pretty good about talking his way out of them, silver-tongued as he is....or, y'know, just rigging the whole building to blow. No witnesses means it never happened, right? Right! :D (Yeah it was a gas main that blew, so weird...especially since that building didn't have a gas main, Kamizuki.)

Is there a particular canon-point/situation you'd prefer as a starting point? Chance encounter in the field? Joint mission with the new allies? Starting as opposing agents then making a truce/alliance?

[quick_sass]

I think joint mission is most amusing. Of course assumes Pietro survives Sokovia. I can just imagine all the trouble that can come up from him being offended over needing a partner and not sending Wanda or the old man.

Two half-cocked flirtatious troublemakers in one job? Gold.

[clouded_moon]

Oh most excellent! It could be an intel job that needs a quick in and out, so to speak, maybe a document snatch, and Pietro is Izumo's backup, because Izumo sucks at combat?

Would you like to do it on a meme somewhere, or in a musebox?

[quick_sass]

Pietro would just be further offended because wow, assuming that he can't get it himself. How horrible.

I think a musebox would be better. I won't really have time to start anything until monday tho.

[clouded_moon]

Sorry I fell off the face of the earth. They've got me training one of the new hires at work.

I've got a musebox and I can slap together something, or if you've got a particular starter in mind, you can do so! If you're still interested, that is! If you're not, that's fair, I understand.

[quick_sass]

TOTALLY still interested. And don't worry. My last week has been the 'fall off the face of the earth' sort too. I hope the new hire training you're doing is going well and all your trainees are pleasant which was rarely true when I was a trainer

I don't have a starter in mind right now because brain fried, but if you want me to I can try and think something up.

[clouded_moon]

Here you are!

A starter!

Yeah the new nurse has a nursing career older than I am, I'm basically just here to show her the correct paperwork, 'cuz I've been at this job longer. :p She's very nice.

[quick_sass]

Oh that's lovely!
