June EMP Meme

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.

Haha funny story actually....if I *did* app him, I'd likely be playing 10% of orange team. At least this one's already orange?

(Hey there, it's Zoki.)

Their CR could be really cute and I know we already have a Sonic from a different continuity, but I'm not sure I can handle three in one game atm. I'll think about it though!

dead by daylight

[personal profile] luckyace 2022-06-19 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
OFFERING:

Ace Visconti | Dead by Daylight

PREFERENCES:

• Castmates and cross-canon are both welcome!

• I'm open to any genre except smut! I'd especially like to explore Ace's trauma, either in the Entity's realm or after escaping it, and angst is a big favourite of mine but I'm definitely up for other types of RP too.

• You can contact me through this journal's PMs or Rivenix at Plurk!

I’ve been wanting to bust out tear again so I’ll have to take a look! Can’t say I’ve ever played a horror game (and we all know how well she does with ghosts—) but it might be fun!

I’m glad to see TotA characters around from time to time lol.

If I recall (I haven't read them in ages) The Mystery of Shadow Ranch involves horses, something either about a gold mine or a phantom horse or both, but that takes place out west.

Given the horse racing industry manages a great deal of money, prestige, and betting, I'm sure Nancy could be investigating things like....somebody did a bait-and-switch with a horse to be sold (sold a random no-name nag instead of the Pricey Horse it's supposed to be), someone has been sabotaging a stable's horses in or out of racing because grudge/betting debts/unfair shares in ownership-training-syndicate-rights, somebody's favorite horse has been stolen and/or is being held for ransom, somebody is mysteriously making a mint off betting (inside sources, sabotage, fraudulent betting)....

Alex, being a jockey as well as a stable owner, would certainly be able to facilitate her being able to get into private areas or speak with people who might otherwise brush her off (race officials, other owners or jockeys).

Any of that sound interesting at all? I do love mysteries but I'm not very good at plotting them out....
fonomena: (sarcastic bow)

[personal profile] fonomena 2022-06-20 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
Very fair concerns here! I'll admit that the flavor of horror the game has tended to employ so far does often mix and match with rather gallows humor elements, when we're not going a more full-blown trauma-induced drama route; for example, during our Battle Royale event, characters remaining on the ship and not actively killing each other on the island were treated to video feeds on every tv on the ship broadcasting constant highlight videos of the various fights and deaths to the tune of...generic background muzak and slapstick sound-effects. Naturally most characters still sincerely engaged this event with the trauma response it fittingly brought about, but the overarching tone tends to be very irreverent in these sorts of ways all the same!

I'll also be candid in the fact that while you can opt out of throwing your character directly into the thick of particularly nasty excursions, the chances are still pretty high you'll likely need to ICly acknowledge the fact that the event's happening all the same--the broadcasted Battle Royale bit above is an example in that sense too, and it seems to me that there will be times going forward where the ship undergoes events that may end up very difficult to not ICly engage on some level.

As for the dice rolls, you've got it about right! They mainly seem to crop up during events to determine the fates and general luck of characters over the course of events, and as stated in the rules all dice rolls are generally final. To give some examples of how this RNG aspect has worked in events so far: This event post details the arrival of an NPC who eventually attempts to sink the entire ship, and after players sign up with their character if they want to attempt the engage the NPC, dice rolls were applied to decide whether diplomacy or violence is used, as well as whether the method ends up prevailing. (The results of the rolls were hashed on the mod plurk, but on this occasion diplomacy was rolled and prevailed!) If all dice rolls had failed, though, the NPC would have sunk the ship and killed every single character aboard without exception. Then there's this event post for the Battle Royale, where RNG determined who would end up living or dying among the characters signed up by players; iirc there were coin tosses for the results of the first two days, and then d20 rolls to determine who would emerge the royale victor on the final day (Natsuno Yuuki ended up rolling a 20). Players could freely plot out exactly how their characters would ultimately die in this case, however, so long as the result aligned with the mod-determined roll!

So, yeah! If any of these aspects would be a deal breaker for you it's totally understandable--sorry for getting a bit long-winded here aha, I wanted to be as frank as possible so you could make a pretty informed judgment call on whether the game would really be a fit for you! And whether you decide to give it a proper whirl or not, I appreciate you popping in with some questions all the same! It's always so nice to hear about people still getting into Abyss so recently too, it's a wonderful game...! (At the risk of being real biased lol--) And Luke is a great character pick for rp, too. I'd def love to see more of him around DWRP in general, whether it's in this game or anywhere else! c:

THE GASPING SOUND I MADE NGL......coughs that is to say!! I'd definitely adore threading off a Tear oh man, bless you for playing her?! If you do feel like hitting up the TDM at any time, I'd be more than happy to help you get a feel for the game, as well as answer any questions you might have! c: Bless her ghost-phobic heart lmao, ok so look Tear there may indeed be invisible phantoms who serve the meals in the dining hall and do the tidying about the ship but don't worry about those just, think about it like really elaborate fontech or something...! And maybe hold off on asking exactly who those phantoms used to be......(spoilers they're apparently the wrung-out souls of previous passengers on the ship reduced to empty drones which, you know, This Is Fine, ANYWAY--) Truly Jade would be equal parts mortified to find she's now stuck on the ship too, but also real grossly relieved to find a familiar face from home aboard too ah...girl has such a good head on her shoulders and her military sense is so often on point a+. I always really loved the "consummate soldiers with some ribbing on the side" dynamic they had going over the course of the game! Also this boat is currently in a bit of a constant drought where doctors and healers are concerned, so Tear's talents would be very appreciated even on this objective sort of level tbh!

I'm so glad to see TotA characters around and about every now and then too! Always a delight to spot a castmate out there in the DWRP wilds to be sure ♥

Thank you so much for responding! :) I appreciate long-winded, as it definitely helps in making more informed decisions! Things sound about like I pegged them, although at least it's good to know that methods of death can be chosen.

Abyss is definitely amazing! I'll have to think a while how I might play Luke anywhere, as I'd like to pull him from post-canon and I need to decide how he might have changed while being missing/dead/thought dead. My guess is I probably won't join this game, but if I decide to make a Luke account I'd be happy to just do PSL with you regardless, if you'd like!
omnicrafter: (love u)

Plurk is probably easier, I think. My username is [plurk.com profile] crystalzero!
omnicrafter: (gotcha!)

[personal profile] omnicrafter 2022-06-20 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
Ahhh, I didn't even know you were still around! Hi!

Sure, shoot me whatever looks interesting. I'm a little sluggish lately due to depression (apologies), so that's probably the easier way to do things.
4play: (and a smile for the camera)

[personal profile] 4play 2022-06-20 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
No worries, I get it! And I also understand, depression can kick your ass really really hard. I'm sorry you have to deal with it. :(

I haven't been around for a couple of years (first switching to psl only and then FF14 ate my interest pretty big), but I jumped back in not too long ago and so far I'm relishing it! Can you shoot me some general pointers of what you'd like to play either on pm or discord? It doesn't need to be specific, just a help for me to know what to look out for.
omnicrafter: (break out)

[personal profile] omnicrafter 2022-06-20 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
I'm laughing that you got eaten by FF14 just as I did! I hope you enjoy(ed) it. C:

PM me your discord? I don't think I have it.
brugmansia: (ᴀsᴛɪʟʙᴇ)

hey there!! i've got an aerith to volunteer for your ff7 muses if you're interested!
4play: (Default)

[personal profile] 4play 2022-06-20 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
Lol I blame our old Zexal co-patriot Dey for that! I like it pretty well, though I'm not binging it as hard anymore now that I've reached Endwalker. I even started fiddling with the idea for an OC for a bit, but it's halfbaked in the best so I won't ever inflict it on anyone lol

Will do!
brugmansia: (ʙᴜɢʟᴏss)

[personal profile] brugmansia 2022-06-20 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
Hi there! I see you're a hard sell on Aerith, but I'm happy to offer her for gen memes/psls if you like! If got I've got Aranea from XV to offer, as well as Lunafreya, though I'm a little more shaky with her. If you're not interested that's totally fine, but I figured I'd stick a leggy out just in case!
chainstrike: (₁₅₀)

[personal profile] chainstrike 2022-06-20 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
hey there! for sure, i am always happy to have an aerith. ♥ anything particular or anyone in particular that you're interested in? we could get some meme threads going for sure.
qliphoths: (Default)

[personal profile] qliphoths 2022-06-20 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
Pls protect her from the ghosts jade… not that she’d admit to finding comfort from him much… 😔

Tbh I’d love to take a look and see what the game is like in more depth!! It sounds interesting, and honestly from what I’m seeing there’s a lack of healers in a lot of spaces 🥲 i was thinking of apping her elsewhere for that reason but knowing there’s a castmate available here is definitely changing my mind lol …
i might shoot you a dm later in the day about it!

And if you ever wanna thread elsewhere like bakerstreet or something, please let me know!
> uo)o i love jade and his sense of humour lol
heroproceeding: (And the place that I'm in)

[personal profile] heroproceeding 2022-06-20 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
Heya! Nah, I totally appreciate you reaching out to me! I feel you on the shaky voice. I might have attempted to throw my Nyx account at you some weeks back on the tfln meme, but dude just doesn't stick.

Anyway, I'm down for some gen threads with Aerith! I do enjoy her character and I think they could get up into some interesting shenanigans together. Could even go the route of Integrade's ending or just wing something completely through a meme to start or something. If you have any specific thoughts, throw them at me!

I also enjoy def Aranea and Lunafreya, too. I just realized I didn't list Aranea, whoops, but I like her as well and her and Zack could also be good foils to each other possibly!
fonomena: (maybe there will be a cute tear thread)

[personal profile] fonomena 2022-06-20 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
Nah this is v fair tbh, it'd be extremely weird and awkward if she did admit this lmao can you imagine...Jade does not exactly think himself a font of comfort anyway considering, gestures at everything about him SMH....but still, if she needs distraction from the ghosts he will rationalize them away and/or sidetrack her with humor terrible enough to forget about all manner of restless spirits :') That's what friends are for, right...!!

Def feel free to drop a message anytime, will try to answer any and all questions to the best of my ability!! Considering the age of this canon I sure am feeling you there in how great it is to find castmates anywhere aha, and honestly I've never seen an active Tear journal around in my time rping Jade so far! I'm so happy just to see you here existing tbh, though if the game ends up seeming like a good fit to you I'd definitely love to see her joining the murderboat too...!

And either way I'd be down for a bakerstreet thread sometime for sure! My non-game rp plate's pretty full atm with camp event threads in Sail taking priority, but as soon as things slow down a bit I'd be happy to hop on a meme with you...! 😊 Esp if we wanna do a scenario slightly more lighthearted than being trapped on an eldritch cruise liner at some point lmao

awesome!! ♥ i mean i always love a zack! but if you're not feeling him, that's totally fine too. currently i've got her up on the midnight texting and random scenario memes if those interest you!
fonomena: following icons @ <user name=colorcube site=livejournal.com> (Default)

[personal profile] fonomena 2022-06-20 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
Totally fine, glad I could help you out with the finer details in this way! Not every game is gonna be a perfect fit for everybody, after all, and that's ok :)b

There's definitely a lot of ways to interpret how Luke's post-game year of being presumed dead might have affected him for a fact, real neat aspect to explore...! If you ever do make a Luke journal I'd be happy to help you voicetest sometime in a psl or something for sure :) Feel free to drop a line anytime!

[personal profile] brugmansia 2022-06-20 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
Oh you were the Nyx!! Well if you ever get the itch again, Aranea is always around! Shaky voices are such a pain.

There will definitely be shenanigans to be had with Aerith, they're one of her specialties. I've got her up on the random scenario meme and the midnight texting if you wanna just go from there? I believe Aranea is also up on those memes too!
