August 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.

so I have Dorothea here, and I'm always interested in doing more things with her, especially when it comes to taking apart her supports and asking "is that really how that would have shaken out?" she and sylvain are such an interesting case to me, because they're really quite similar in a lot of ways (they're both part of the winky-sprite squad, for example), and I just wish there had been More to their supports. would diving into that interest you at all?

[laidtocrest]

I was actually annoyed back in the day because I tried to come up with a Dorothea username, thought of 'crestcendo' or some variation thereof, and said, "...but she doesn't have a crest." I'm down! I love pulling apart supports and having them end wherever they might - so just so we're clear, I'm down with anything ranging from 'it's a ship!' to 'bitter exes' to 'friends who write each other penpal letters after The War is over and remember each other fondly and if they get together they get together after they're 37 (or whenever)'

I also went snooping, saw you made a comment, and I'm okay with prose as well. Pretty flexible over here. Let me know if you've got more specific ideas/preferences otherwise I'll roll some in my head and toss them in your direction.

And now I have to use the matching icon.

[backstreetbard]

"crestcendoesnt" perhaps, but yes, that sounds great. I love letting things play out and seeing where they end up, running the full gamut from friends to rivals to lovers to wingmanning for each other once they've worked out their differences.

do you have a preference for route or academy vs. war phase?

[laidtocrest]

omg I actually had this one thread with someone else where I had to come up with a bar fight. I just ended up bullshitting this thing in which Dorothea was out with The Guys, someone tried to hit on her, Lorenz...I believe...decided to defend her honor even though she can protect herself, a bar fight happened because it's Lorenz, and Dorothea ended up distracting the bar while The Guys escaped out the back.

You have no idea how much I'd love IC wingmanning.

No prefs! I can get picky if you need me to, but right now I'm pretty flexible so if you've got a wishlist item now is the time to make it happen.

[backstreetbard]

oh my lord that sounds hilarious tbh, I can just imagine all the shenanigans everyone would get up to, especially if drunk. I'm sure Dorothea was so exasperated, even though Lorenz surely meant well.

I'm also not super picky when it comes to pre or post time skip. if we want to do wingman stuff, we could potentially handwave some of the academy phase, since Dorothea's attention shifts from the idea of marrying money to finding someone who really loves her. maybe Sylvain is sympathetic after they've worked out the differences of their youth, and the army is full of eligible gents and ladies.

[laidtocrest]

Yeah, that sounds good. I'm also not too picky about routes, so if you've got a preference then I'll defer to that. I know I've accidentally jammed things route AU more than once, so.

Best case we hit it off and have a handful of threads, worse case we don't get along and so it goes. At least that's how I look at it.

Oh! Also! I'm technically on holiday right now, and I've got some shit waiting for me when I get back to work, so if I don't respond for a bit: it's not you, it's that.

[backstreetbard]

I'm usually a golden deer gal, myself, but I can go azure moon if that works better for sylvain. dorothea isn't tied to any faction in quite the same way as he is to faerghus.

sounds good to me. work has been a bit hectic on my end lately too, so I totally understand. I can start us off if you like?

[laidtocrest]

I can do either, the main difference is that vw would have more depression feat. bad life choices and am would have more desperation feat. bad coping mechanisms (and there's a difference between the two), scale according to where on the timeline they'd be.

But please, I'd appreciate that, I had to fucking book it from one end of an airport to another yesterday so my brain's tofu and oh my god I'm so out of it I dumped two pots of dirt on the ground by accident, back to back.

I made a comment on some balls old rng meme, if you have a different location in mind (musebox, open post, etc) just...link me, and maybe I'll write a starter for you if it's been long enough and I can de-tofu my brain.
