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.

Important note: IP logging has turned on due to multiple instances past and present of problem players trying to return to the dwrp community via emp after being banned other places, so I'll be IP logging from now on, and will compare notes with the rpa and wg mods (as well as game mods) where appropriate if it seems like someone that has been mass banned. 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.

hey there!! not sure if my game is what you're looking for but we have a cast slowly growing over at sails ([community profile] come_sailaway). the game is indeed on dreamwidth and it's certainly not a sex or SOL-focus game (unless you want to play it that way but it definitely won't last long).

pretty much everyone is on a cruise ship which is rather large and its almost like it's a city on a boat. so it is jam-jar-ish but the captain does stop at an island every so often for characters to hop off the boat and explore (aka events). the ship is also spooky, there's ghosts (we can't see them), the director friday doesn't have a face, and the captain is extremely powerful. people tried to kill him but obviously he can't be killed.

the whole point of why everyone is on the boat is to kill each other for captain's amusement(he grows stronger by feeding on people's fears and misery). it's definitely not mandatory to sign up for any or all killing events, you can opt-out on them if you like. and there's a lot of mystery things about the captain and friday that the characters are discovering, unlocking secrets, and all that. so there is definitely a plot going on and not just "lol we kill each other".

the game is VERY backtag friendly. to give you an idea, jinx threw a party in april and people were still tagging it by the end of may/beginning of june. the speed of the game itself, it dances between slow-medium. when there isn't an event going on, it's definitely on the slow side - you may get some people posting a new log and what not. but when an event pops up, well, scroll and see for yourself, lol. oh and also, not all events are about killing. this particular one we are having right now is silly camp summer times.

what i've also noticed during my time so far in this game is you will definitely get tags from people more in the night hours than the day hours (im in the east coast to give you an idea). as for activity checks, they seem rather easy to me! all you need is (1) log/top-level and (10) comments from your character OR (1) log/top-level and 3 (5) comments from your character.

if you have any extra threads, you can toss it in the "bonus AC" which will give you regain items. the items do not need to be from the canon. you can ask for extra pillows, clothes, whatever you like! and everyone tags everyone in this game which is what i truly love about it.

when it comes to the arcane cast itself, we got jinx, vi, ekko, and caitlyn (that just apped). all of them are from different canon points which makes this whole ordeal pretty interesting.

if you are curious about jinx, what she's up to, her canon point, and stuff:

➜ she is from mid-episode 9, singed just injected her with shimmer and ran off but before she did her little kidnapped and tea party thing. in the game, she and ekko just became a "couple" so im sure that's something silco will be very thrilled about. BUT the one thing jinx is hiding from literally everyone (canon mates and her game CR) is she has vials of shimmer on board. she has it tuck away deep in the theater and hasn't told anyone about except the NPC friday. in which the NPC tried to convince jinx to destroy it but jinx says "no because what if silco shows up?" cause his silco's opinion is above everyone else's safety. SO! you will have that chaos to look forward to if you join.

she also adopted a seven year old as her baby sister and her little sister got extremely upset when she saw jinx kill someone and their sisterly bond almost ended because of that. so jinx promised her she will never hurt/kill anyone again and she's been struggling with that, lol. ANYWAY, I THINK I TYPED...ENOUGH. we have a BRAND NEW test drive meme up if you wanna try it out which is here. we would love to have you if join and even if you don't, hope you can find a nice game for your silco!!
