November 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!

Comments

altered carbon, marvel, the expanse

[thwipandquip]

▶ offering:

takeshi kovacs - spunup, taktical, or songspires
peter b. parker - thwipandquip
howard stark - patents
bobbie draper - powerarmor

▶ seeking:

gen: i really like opportunities for cross-canon interaction, particularly where it's easy enough to find a viable reason for two universes to collide. that said, i would also gladly welcome any number of canonmates. for takeshi: i'd love to opportunity to write with a rei, quell, poe, or really anyone who's up for a cranky old man who grew up in govt. special forces, realized they lied to him, and then decided to go to bat for the other side. for peter: more spider folk, villains, and other heroes. for howard: peggy, jarvis, bucky, and steve. i'm down for time-travel shenanigans too so tony and company are also welcome. for bobbie: the crew of the roci, chrisjen (does anyone play her because hats off if you do), or other space traveling types.

shipping: again, i love crosscanon here. no actual leaning one way or the other regarding m/m, m/f, or f/f ships. if the characters click, i'd probably be willing to write it. exceptions being no shipping with characters under 18. as far as canonmates are concerned, i'd gladly welcome a mary jane for peter and a quell for takeshi. no specific canon ships for howard or bobbie but again if the characters click, i'd probably ship it.

▶ et cetera

i like texting that can transition into face to face scenes and love a good misfired text for drama or unexpected cr. i default to brackets over prose, but am willing to adjust if my writing partner has a strong preference for the latter.

i'm located in est. my tagging times can vary but are usually more in the afternoon/early evening. i try to knock things out in a few days at the most and am backtag friendly. if you feel like it's been too long, it probably hasn't. if i've dropped something, please feel free to reach out. it's likely that either my inbox ate it or life's gotten a little hectic.

pm's are my preference for communication, but discord is available upon request.

[quoththepoe]

Hi! I have a Poe, Steve Rogers, and Clarissa Mao I'd love to throw at yours!

[patents]

Hello!

I feel like Howard would be equally entertained with peeking under Poe's metaphorical hood but I'm sure Kovacs would be happy to be served another beverage or two. I'd love to explore the span of time between seasons 1 and 2 and or post-season 2 given the cliffhanger with Poe, Dig 301, and the DHF.

As for Steve, do you have a preferred canon point you like to play him from?

I'm working my way through a rewatch of the Expanse so I'm really happy to hear that someone's playing Clarissa. Anything in particular you've got in mind?

[envoyage]

Gotta respond with this journal bc it's funny. I've considered making a Quell journal, but I can't make promises on that. I do however have a canon Peggy Carter and Captain Carter from the MCU, and Naomi and Filip from The Expanse.

[songspires]

Ditto on the Quell front myself, but I've never quite managed to bite that bullet. Instead I've got the three Kovacs and a Rei.

I'd love to bounce things off either Peggy and hope to interact with both Naomi and Filip with season 6 looming in the not too distant future.

[anthrop]

I have this smol badass I can throw at kovacs or I can throw some crosscanon his way instead c:

[thwipandquip]

Honestly, I'd be down with either/both. Who were you thinking as far as crosscanon goes?

[chuju]

I don't know if you'd have interest in this millennial hacker superhero spy meeting any of yours, but she is quite easy to toss into crosscanon scenarios thanks to the multiverse and time travel being mcu canon now.

[thwipandquip]

Space future shit with the world's grumpiest former spec ops dude sounds like a blast. Maybe talk about shared family trauma? Hey your mom looks an awful lot like my sister bs or not bc maybe that's too depressing.

Millennial hacker and spider-guy who cracks jokes about Comic Con sound super fun. Maybe they can bitch about how all the Thors have their hair all wrong.

And if Daisy wants to talk to Stark about Daniel Sousa I'm down. I haven't watched any of the latter half of AoS though so google will just have to be my friend.

Basically have at.

[chuju]

You are my new favorite person, all of these options are incredible. I started at the top of the list and whipped up this starter. I haven't actually finished Altered Carbon, so let me know if I get anything horribly wrong, but I couldn't resist talk of shared family trauma and tragic face twins. (And no worries about spoilers!)

Also, I have a brief overview of AoS, if you're interested. The last few seasons are amazing but wild, but season 7 gave us two additional Dichen episodes and Daniel Sousa, so it's my favorite.

[songspires]

Awesome. I'm going to give you even further into the future Kovacs because I can and because it seems more likely a canon location where Daisy could find a job that pays actual cash rather than try to future venmo her into an account she doesn't have.

[chuju]

Totally fine by me! I may have marathoned all of season 1 yesterday and might be planning to jump into season 2 today, so I'll get to enjoy this version of Kovacs soon. (Also, hello other MCU facetwin! Not as dramatically jarring as mom/sister, but enough to cause a nice internal rant at the universe.)

12 hours later...

I've finished season 2 and am very angry about this show being canceled. It was a good ending but I also want more.

[songspires]

Yeah... You're telling me. So many threads left dangling, full of promise.

[chuju]

Where did all those Poe emotions come from in the second season?? I was not adequately prepared.

[songspires]

I mean, I finished season 1 with a lot of Poe feelings, but season 2 was just a reminder that I end up super fond of the non-human characters in most dystopian sci-fi type media.

Ooops.

[counterstep]

heya sorry i kind of disappeared for a bit there but still super down to do things if u are ( fingerguns )

saw your pete on tfln and didn't ping him initially but def interested to try some stuff if you want? maybe some kind of "save people" thing that bucky makes him have to do? or something like that idk
love the pb choice btw :')

altered carbon is still on my watch list and i haven't gotten to it yet so i'm not super familiar but i do like the concept of it, if you wanted to try something with buck too

[spunup]

Hey totally alright. I just assume that this time of year is kind of trash for everyone. Best intentions dashed by familial obligations or work or seasonal affective disorder and all that so I'm never offended when people have to dip.

If you'd like to do something with Peter (and ty for the compliment on the pb) feel free to drop me something on his open post. As for Kovacs, I'm happy to whip up a starter if you're feeling inclined to give me a prompt here. I think they'd probably get on begrudgingly well as they ignore talking about the shit that they need to work through, but they could also end up shooting first and asking questions later.

[counterstep]

ain't that the truth ha

sure! i'll try to think up something grand to rope him forcibly into and drop it in your open :')

yeah bucky and kovacs would probably get along begrudgingly pretty well since you've just described all bucky's professional working relationships hahaha i could also see them getting into an argument over something really stupid just because of the bullheaded they are too

feel free to toss me howard on midnight texting if you're up for it or lmk if there's anything that comes to mind if you wanna try more with them
