August EMP Meme
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.

Leonard Church (Alpha) | Red vs Blue |
- Obnoxious, loud asshole is actually an obnoxious, loud AI. 100% convinced he's actually a ghost, and 100% down to fight about it.
Jak | Jak & Daxter |
- Colorful platformer protagonist got flung into a grimdark future, experimented on, and has a ragemonster form now. He's Coping™.
Cayde-6 | Destiny 2 |
- Gunslinging robot who's all fun and games until you figure out he has real emotions, then he'll detach his whole arm to escape.
The Arbiter | Halo |
- Alien warrior very chill and reasonable, considering You Would Not Believe How Many Humans He Has Killed. (...He has regrets.)
The Master Chief | Halo |
- Super soldier raised since childhood into a lifetime of war is functioning astonishingly well considering All Of That.
Garrus Vakarian | Mass Effect |
- Alien ex-cop struggling with authority/father issues, has been busy burning down his entire life since his favorite person died.
looking for:
Casting kind of a wide net here of various characters I'd like to do more with, I've been missing the structure of games. I am also prrrrobably open to psls, jamjar situations where I get to break characters out of their usual contexts are especially loved.
- Not afraid to lcw until the cows come home, I love crosscanon.
- Chill AC is helpful, I've been on the slow side.
- No sex games ("sex friendly"/anything where smut features heavily in events counts)
- Not especially looking for horror, except Church suffering is funny. (The one I'd say definitively no is Chief, he's already really sad.)
- For Church, I'd love a situation where he has to actually deal with the fact he's an AI because he never accepted it in canon. (Probably a tall order, I know.) He's a petty little shit and a stubborn idiot, but is capable of bonding with people and growing as a person.
- For Jak, I wanted to take him from a point where he's been very recently hurt and it's left him reactive and untrusting. Give him people to lash out at that don't deserve it, room to fuck up, and (maybe) some space to cool off and recover.
- Cayde, the Chief, and the Arbiter are all characters that would do well in an environment where they have a goal they are teamworking toward with others. ...But also forcing them to do SOL shit could be fun because Cayde and the Chief are inveterate wall-climbers who hate it, and the Arbiter in any kind of downtime situation surrounded by humans is having just the weirdest time.
- I could stand some canon review for Garrus but thought a Mass Effect 2 canonpoint where he's made a big mess of his entire existence could be fun. My thoughts are less formed here. Put him in a pickle jar and shake him.

The application round just closed, but we'll have a TDM up on the 1st if you're interested, and some people are still tagging on our last TDM, which is over here. The TDM runs about the same format as events, so it'll give you a good idea of how the game runs.

I feel like several of your guys would fit in really well with the motley crew we're forming at Annexed
Annexed is a mission-based sci-fantasy panfandom jamjar. There'll be plenty of SoL things going on as well as missions that fit into a variety of military niches. Because the general premise is that the Sylphid brought all these people to their world to... possess their bodies basically and use their skills and the like as their own. The Witches are a group of rebels fighting the Sylphid and rescue the player characters offering them safety and a chance to fight to gain the technology to return to their own worlds.
There's a power gain mechanic in place tied to the planets the story takes place on and a character bond mechanic too. Which... can be a fun struggle for characters who are, how'd you put it? Inveterate wall-climbers who hate it? (I play Heero here who's your classic trained for war child soldier type, so also fits into that niche)
We've got an interesting mix of Star Trek and Star wars as well as various other series on the TDM who'd likely make for good cross canon CR.
And while it's not anything official I've been voice testing my Shepard on the TDM recently.Feel free to pop into the TDM even if it's just for funsies! We've all been having a blast tagging out.no subject
I'll check this out after work and see if I think anyone vibes in particular, maybe I'll see you around on that TDM!
no subject
Awesome! Game actually just officially opened today, but I highly doubt we'll abandon the TDM anytime soon since this first one is Live and can be considered canonical for official in game events.
