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.

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.

I sat up for a long time last night debating whether to plug [community profile] victory_road, so I'm glad it's been suggested! I would love to see more YGO there! I wasn't sure Yami Bakura would like it, but it might be fun for you to have him react to the game mechanics. I'm sure he'd find plenty to snark about. ;) Radley knows of Battle City, but just having seen video of the one duel (and quite probably scoffing at the talk of possession), all he would know of Yami Bakura is his impressively risky dueling style. I think that would appeal to him given his past with Kalin Kessler!

All that this post tells us about the game is that it's an island SOL rated G. I think you need to spend a lot more time working out details before you try to get this off the ground. We don't know anything about the premise, the rules, the setting, really anything at all, so I don't think most people will want to sign on to co-mod with this little to work with.

Ace Attorney

[personal profile] exposethetruth 2022-06-12 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
OFFERING:
Gregory Edgeworth | Ace Attorney

INFO/PREFERENCES:
• Evening/early mornings US Eastern, I tend to boomerang if given the opportunity and health allows.
• Museboxes preferred over memes, prose preferred.
• Gregory is a mid-30s single father. In canon, he is dead. I tend to play him just before his death but I'm open to AUs. I am very open to AUs. Any shipping, however, has to be built up to. His priorities are his son and his job, in that order.

LOOKING FOR:
• PSLs, mostly with castmates. I've played AA1-4, watched AAI1&2, have yet to go to the rest.
• Gregory lives AUs would be great.
• Possibly a small game with low AC due to player health.

Toss me a line if interested!
judgmental: (some say the world)

Tiger & Bunny, The Silmarillion, TGCF, MHA

[personal profile] judgmental 2022-06-12 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Offering:
Yuri Petrov | Tiger & Bunny
Maglor | The Silmarillion
Celebrimbor | The Silmarillion
Aredhel | The Silmarillion
Mairon | The Silmarillion
Qi Rong | TGCF
Enji Todoroki | My Hero Academia

Prefs:
—I'm open to all kinds of scenarios, especially those that involve character development or explorations of avenues that aren't open to characters in canon. I love action and adventure or horror, but also simple slice of life, fluff, or comedy. I also have a weakness for characters discussing serious issues, such as justice, morality, or regret—just to name a few relevant ones.
—I have no problem AUing my characters into other canons, if that works better for a thread. Even if I'm not familiar with another canon, I'll do my best.
—I'm always up for gen and all kinds of platonic relationships. I love found family or AU family and friendships, likely or unlikely. Negative relationships are also fun to play around with.
—Some of these characters are not exactly the easiest to ship with, so that might be tricky and require prior discussion, but I'm definitely open to it!
—Not interested in smut, incest, or shipping with underage characters.

Other notes:
—Time Zone: Mountain Time.
—Tagging speed: variable. I work a full time job, so sometimes I'm slower than others.
—Fine with meme threads, PSLs, etc; I'm flexible!
—Castmates are loved, but I'm also open to cross-canon, cross-medium, OCs.
—I default to brackets, but have no problem with prose if preferred.
—If interested, contact me through comment or PM. Thanks!

Hello, and thank you for responding! I didn't omit my identity intentionally, but I was so excited/nervous about posting this I forgot the mod account isn't directly linked to me. I will make an over all reply addressing issues from the various comments, but will reply individually as well.

I am Chicklet. Given the size of the community, not sure that helps to narrow down who I am much, though. I am currently RPing in VT as Xion, Najaran, Spark, and Clef. I've played in a number of other games including X-institute, Wake, and SMK, as well as a number of in person and over Discord LARPs and table tops. Hope that helps!

Hello, and thank you for responding! I will make an over all reply addressing issues from the various comments, but will reply individually as well.

Everland currently has one short story out, and one novel in beta draft, which I have been given access to. The author has given permission for this game to run and is an approachable resource for world building. (There are limits on the canon characters and a few smaller locations, but nothing restrictive for DWRP) Knowledge of the source story is not required to play or to mod, especially not the unpublished novel! I only put that in so that there was transparency over the ownership of the base world.

As to PG and G ratings, I see multiple questions on that topic and will do a catchall response in addition to this as I said above. This is all addressed/will be addressed in the still WIP FAQ/Rules section. In the areas where the border between PG and PG-13 is grey and unclear, it will mostly fall to player consent. If all players in the scene are okay with a little more violence that would be fine. The restrictions, as spelled out in the rules are basically: swearing should be censored. Romantic scenes that include getting undressed or anything not PG acceptable should be FTB. Violence is okay so long as all players are okay with it, but extreme violence is not. (So someone gets stabbed, fine if all players are fine with it, someone getting mutilated slowly/tortured is not), bloodshed and death will be allowable as long as there are CW or TWs in the subject line, but graphic descriptions of the wounds would not be.

I am willing to take on the lions share of the NPCing, and will set the co-mods requirements for it based on their comfort level. At least one or two is what I would like, but if that is a hard no for someone who otherwise wants to help then we can work around that and I'll just shoulder more of the NPCing. A lot of this is vague because it comes down to the comfort levels of my fellow mods. I don't want to set anything in stone that would turn away someone who would have a fantastic time helping with this setting!

Thank you again for your reply and questions, I look forward to hearing from you again if you respond!

Thank you for responding! I was being vague mostly because I want any co-mods to get to have a say in what is and is not shared when we market this out. As to stakes, while there will be individual events and a meta-plot, my aim is for the game to have a lot of slice of life to it, meaning the stakes often come from PC interaction. If a co-mod has other ideas, I am willing to consider them for sure!

I am here to also bring my encouragement for Sora at VT. I love bouncing Roxas over Soras. As mentioned, we have a good chunk of castmates. Including a Kairi who I know would love to have a Sora. I think it's a good easy-going pace for a game with still enough activities to sink one's teeth into!

Re: Looking for Co-mods

[personal profile] everland_mods 2022-06-12 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you for responding! There will be events and a meta-plot, but I want to leave a lot open for potential co-mods to feel their voices are heard and to have a say. As to why this game and not a premise of your own, that is a very good question. And I thank you for it. The answer is I started this game in part because of that question. And am discovering that "a premise of my own" is turning into a lot of hard work, lol. I am willing to do the work, but it is proving too much for me to do on my own. Which is why I am here.

I am hoping that there will be elements of the game to appeal to all sorts of different players. Yes there will be a lot of SoL, but as I said above there will be meta-plot for those who enjoy digging into that, and events. There will be interesting (I hope) mechanics in place!

I do have ideas, and mechanics written, for a lot of things I think will be interesting, but if my co-mod wants to keep different things in our pockets, or finds a hole in my plot, I want to be able to fix that, working with them, rather than promising things that will change in development.

[personal profile] first_summers 2022-06-12 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
offering —
» buffy summers, buffy the vampire slayer ( [personal profile] first_summers )
» daisy johnson, agents of shield / mcu ( [personal profile] chuju )

seeking —
I'm specifically looking for multiverse and crosscanon things for these ladies:

» Buffy Summers is she who hangs out a lot in cemeteries, the original Chosen One destined to fight the forces of darkness and die a whole lot doing it. I pull Buffy from post-season 7 and disregard most of the canon comics because they were hard to keep up with and went a bit off the rails. (prefs)
» seeking: Dean Winchester and Castiel from Supernatural for platonic or shipping things, and Sam Winchester for strictly platonic things. (Please someone let her big sister at the moose.)

» Daisy Johnson is a millennial hacker turned spy turned superhero who has been through more trauma than most characters in the MCU. I tend to play her post-season 7 when she's in her early 30s. (prefs)
» seeking: Bruce Wayne, especially the Robert Pattinson version — I absolutely loved the vibe of the new movie and Bruce getting back to his crime-fighting detective roots, so I'd like to drop Daisy into his verse and have her live a 'powerless' vigilante life while searching for a way back home.

notes —
» I would love to set up some long-term PSLs but will also do memes with continuity. Sailing ships is always an option for these ladies (both f/m and f/f), but gen things and close platonic bonds are also good.
» My favorite things to write include emotional moments, hurt/comfort, bonding over shared experiences/trauma, stolen moments of happiness, normal daily life for people who aren't used to it and thus struggle with and find it extremely weird... I love brainstorming ideas and am always happy to write starters.

» My tagging speed varies between glacially slow and boomeranging like whoa; please poke me if you think a notif has gone missing! And fair warning that summers are busy and stressful for me, so I may be slower or more hyperfocused than usual.   
» Comment here or send a PM to either journal.

Thank you so much for responding! I will make an over all reply addressing issues from the various comments, but will reply individually as well.

Yes, the specifics of what is and is not allowed from a PG/PG-13 standard is in the WIP FAQ/Rules. I want to go over specifics with co-mod before anything is public. But having not seen Dark Knight, going off your reply, that seems like a good way to explain it. Some violence and crime so long as all players are okay with it. I will go into more detail in the over all reply.

I have no intention of banning anyone if I can avoid it, but I intend to make things very clear so that no one feels targeted or has to be afraid that they will be targeted. Part of what is taking me so long to finish the rules/FAQs is trying to be clear while trying not to bog people down with a wall of text. Part of what I really want a co-mod for is another set of eyes on things like that to help me balance giving enough info with not overwhelming people with restrictions and rules.

Thank you so much for the response, once again! I hope this has cleared up some of your concerns.

TALES OF THE ABYSS @ COME SAIL AWAY

[personal profile] fonomena 2022-06-12 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[game]: [community profile] come_sailaway
[fandom]: Tales of the Abyss
[game's current cast]: Jade Curtiss
[who I play]: The shady guy in question!!
[wanted]: Anise, Guy, Tear, Natalia...! Any of Jade's fellow party members would be wonderful! Luke would be especially great, as Jade's taken from a canonpoint only a few weeks after the endgame events on Eldrant, so seeing him again would sure be grounds for a whole variety of extremely strong and gross Feelings!

Still, folks outside the main cast would be great too! Any of the God-Generals (Asch or Dist especially oh god), Peony (if we really want to stress out Jade something awful, which ofc I do lmao), Ion, perhaps even Van...?!

[game info]: Come Sail Away is a panfandom jamjar horror game set on a modern-day cruise liner! Where unwitting passengers can enjoy a well-earned luxury vacation experience, maintained by a crew of ghostly staff and the lovely faceless cruise director! Sure, the captain might be some eldritch being who draws energy and entertainment from the suffering of all souls trapped on board, but. Don't worry about that! Besides, there's a wide variety of off-ship excursions to go on; some of them can allegedly even be quite pleasant! ...And some of them define a "strenuous camping trip on a tropical island" as a forced battle royale to the death. Endless possibilities!

Passengers aboard have potential to affect the overarching setting or events depending on a combination of OOC dice rolls and IC actions. Power nerfs are minimal, and death is impermanent! Which is probably a good thing, because you're likely to be dying rather a lot going forward! Yes Jade has already died once now, yes you'd better believe he has a lot of opinions about it smh-- Events have been varied, as the horror isn't necessarily a constant; one month half the ship might be killing each other while the other half has to watch it, and the next month everybody ends up going on a camping trip For Real This Time, complete with marshmallow roasting and inordinately short shorts?? There sure is a constant sense of waiting for the other shoe to drop, though...!

Monthly AC consists of either one open post/toplevel and a 10-comment thread elsewhere, or three threads with three different characters at 5 comments apiece. Apps and reserves are currently open for the foreseeable future, and the current TDM can be found here if you'd like to dip in your toes!

Thank you for replying! I appologize if that is how I came across, and I will do my best to address that in a large reply to everyone. Characters from non PG/G canons will be allowed and welcomed for sure! It is just what can be threaded in the game will be more limited. But players will always be allowed to FTB or take threads further in private journals. Those just couldn't be used for bonus AC.

I have a background in Gears and Nexus LARP and am trying to basically use that as a model. So yes, violence happens, but only if everyone in the scene is comfortable with that OOC and no graphic details. Romance can be presumed, hand waved, or played elsewhere if it gets past a certain point. There will be detailed explanations available when the Rules and FAQs go live.

I hope this helps!

Re: Looking for Co-mods

[personal profile] everland_mods 2022-06-12 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you for responding! I will make an over all reply addressing issues from the various comments, but will reply individually as well.

On themes and topics: Orientation and gender identity are, to my mind, not adult themes or topics. Players will be asked to take romantic scenes to private journals or FTB them no matter the gender or genders or lack of genders involved. The same rules will apply for a male female couple, male male, female female, NBs in the mix, poly, pan... all orientations are welcome, and all fall under the same rules.

Drug use... I would have to discuss that with Co-mods, I had not given drug use much thought, I will fully admit. Same with getting wasted/drunk. I suspect that will wind up under the "If all players consent OOC and it does not violate other rules" it is okay, but I don't want to make a firm decision on that either way without co-mod discussion.

Mild nudity will be FTB requested as it can be a trigger for many people (me among them, I openly and honestly admit.)

Details on where the lines are will, as best as possible, be spelled out in Rules/FAQs.

The questions about other players are super important and I thank you for inviting me to discuss my thoughts on the matter. Again, all is pending co-mod input. My plan, however is that there will be a strike system. Everyone coming in starts with the same clean slate even if they were kicked from other games. The goal is that people will be judged by the mods only by what they do while in this game. That involves IC and OOC actions. Harassing other players will not be tolerated, neither will things like hate speech. This will all also be spelled out in rules. The number of strikes will be discussed amongst the mods in advance and will be stated clearly. As well as what actions are so unacceptable they will negate the strike system. I want us to do as much as possible to be clear to all potential players.

While opting out is an option, I would like the mod team to strongly encourage people to not unless there is an issue in this game specifically. I have no plans in place for how we could, or even should, enforce players giving each other another chance. All I can do is ask people, encourage it, and make it clear that behavior is judged based on actions while in this game. "But they started it!" isn't acceptable to excuse someone's behavior, and that should be true no matter when the "started it" was. Basically we are going to try to encourage everyone to give each other a try. Opting out will not be forbidden or punished, but harassment will be. I really want players to talk to the mods before things ever get to that point.

Mods will not be hiding players identity according to my current plans. Again, I am open to be swayed of co-mods feel strongly. But that is not my intent. I like to think that people are genuinely and generally good. I want to give people the chance to make that part of their personalities shine.

Once again, thank you for the questions. I hope I addressed your concerns!

Thank you for the response. I will make an over all reply addressing issues from the various comments, but will reply individually as well.

I have a lot of the details roughed out, but am trying to leave things vague so that co-mods would get to be heard and have a say. I don't want to be a "my way or the highway" mod, I want this to be a team that knows that they are all valued and appreciated and heard. I want us to work together. Maybe that is naive, but it is my hope.

Since you mentioned crosscanon, I can offer a telepathic character who doesn't have multiple identities but does have two distinct personas, so she might be able to relate a little on the hot mess factor. And she also has experience with hearing voices/occasionally having full-on conversations that others aren't privy to. Sure, the Force isn't a deity, but it's in a similar wheelhouse, lol.

I generally play Brianna post-canon for crosscanon shenanigans, so she's at more of a chaotic neutral point morally, and that way it's also easier to handwave her winding up on earth one way or another.

No worries if not interested/this isn't what you're looking for!
