April 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.

We love his face no matter what year it's from. /squishes his cheeks.

Dear god, what have you done? You've opened the floodgates. [Deep breath] Well! My main fave idea is that she's either bitten in the accident that gave her her abilities (which she still has, so she's still a freak, even as a wolf), or she's had her accident that gives her abilities and then still meets Kilgrave who turns her, which gives her a rather unhealthy relationship with the idea of what it means to be a werewolf and what they're like. No pack, killed her Alpha, lone wolf. It could go either one of a few ways where she meets up with Matt and co much like canon, only you sprinkle werewolf in there with superhero stuff. It all depends on how the other party wants to play the werewolf angle; hush hush secret nobody knows, open secret like Mercyverse/Blakeverse, or everyone has a waggy tail. For anything deeper, it's better to plan out with the party since everyone has their version of which werewolf type they like best and how they like to play it.

[beatings]

Oh oh, hear me out: the Chaste's secret war is with werewolves, not ninjas, and Matt has been training his whole life to be a werewolf hunter but he doesn't realize it because Stick didn't let him in on the details of the war until he meets her in Defenders times? Maybe a big baddie werewolf cabal are trying to recruit Jess because she's super strong even for a werewolf instead of the Hand trying to get Danny because Iron Fist etc. And obviously Matt decides that no he's not going to hunt her because she's clearly just a person trying to get by in life, and we could run from there?

[assholic]

Clearly the Chaste are a bunch of dinks, no matter what they're fighting. /judging

I'm game to play around with that. We can always start it out in the random scenario meme. We'd just have to work out the where/when of it before I slap you in the face with a super starter. Bonus points if Matt winds up getting bit. >> Shh.

[beatings]

You are not wrong!! But yes I would love Matt getting bit, sorry Jess for the inevitable Good Catholic Boy existential crisis. We could maybe go for a mid-Defenders canon point if you want, stretch out the timeline so the whole Defenders team-up doesn't happen over the course of like 3 days, since we're already doing a post-Defenders thread? Or we could also do far enough out in the future that it's after all their series? Do you have a particular preference for the spot at which you're playing Jess from? (I'm cool with any canon point personally.)

[assholic]

I usually prefer to play her from pre S2 of JJ, since that's when all the shit hits all the fans and she loses what little base she has, but I'm cool with fitting her in so that it works or twists with both of them. Post Defenders would work so that we don't have him running off trying to rescue his terrible relationship choices.

I'm going to be frank with you (even though I don't play Frank badumtsh), I'm a pretty pro team Messica. It's my guilty pleasure ship because come on, he laughs at her jokes. No one laughs at her jokes. And she could use a little light in her life, no lie. But I also don't like to feel ship pushy, so I'm also happy to play gen if that's not your jam and won't angle it if you're not up for it.

[beatings]

Hey I'm right there with you! I ship them super hard, I think they play off each other so well and their scenes together were the highlight of Defenders for me, especially when she talked about Jack Murdock and made him into emotional goo. Plus Matt pretends like he doesn't but he clearly finds rudeness endearing actually and she definitely does make him laugh. I'm totally down for shippy leaning to their threads!

[assholic]

Goo buttons are the best buttons to press. They have their fucked up childhood to bond over. I kind of like the idea of her making fun of him being the poster boy for good Catholics that do dirty bad things in bed, just to give him more things to have to go to confessional over and teasing him that his priest probably knows her as intimately as he does by a certain point.

But yeah, she knows about missing family, so they can tragically bond over that. If you're up for that, I'm happy to play that in either line we wind up with. Matt's the worst at trying not to show his feelings with that face like a book, and she'll have fun poking at him over it.
