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.

Looking for:
One-shots, long-term PSLs, plotting, general RP nonsense. I cut my RP teeth at milliways_bar, so cross-canon is my bread and butter. I love AUs. I love “oh crap something’s wrong in your world? I’ll come help fix it/fight it/make it worse.” I love developing slow friendships, shoveling coals onto rivalries, action sequences, and “I hate your guts”/“I hate yours more.”

Wishlist? Honestly, everything? Zinda is easy to add into almost any universe. Any Caps or Buckys want to do a WWII Howling Commandos/Blackhawk crossover? I say yes. I would adore castmates (MCU or 616) for Sharon, especially Steve. The other day I thought about Gideon meeting some Stranger Things kids and laughed for like ten minutes. I am up for anything.

Preferences:
- I strongly prefer prose to brackets, which I find difficult to read.
- I’m good with heavy dialogue, novella-type, short answers, boomerangs, whatever.
- Backtagging is fine to an extent, but I prefer to work pretty consistently on threads because otherwise they go straight out of my head.
- Prefer PSLs to memes, but I’m happy to toss mine at yours if you’ve got a top level somewhere!
- Open to shipping, from slow burn romance to explosive chemistry to friends-to-lovers to established relationship
- I don’t have a Plurk but am happy to chat and plot via PM or Discord!
- On the East Coast, generally a quick tagger but occasionally life or work gets in the way.

Oh, goodness, hello.

I'm a former Milliwayser myself though it's been a very long time and I'm not comfy sharing the name I used in comments -- but I was insignificant and I doubt you'd remember me as I faded out back in 2005 or 06! Either way though, we should probably be RP friends, as my main character is Harrowhark Nonagesimus and I also play Alex Stern.

I desperately miss the easy short tags that happened in Milliways, and the cross-world shenanigans.

[we_do_bones]

Why, hello back!

We may well have crossed paths! I played Caspian and Anne Shirley and Jack Twist there until about 2007, and I've dropped back in a few times since. I have Sharon and Zinda there now, in fact.

I think I recall seeing your Ianthe pop up in PFSB yonks ago. (Maybe? I'm going purely by PB.) But yes, clearly the stars are aligning! I need to finish making a journal for Darlington, but I definitely would love to voicetest him, and of course any of my others are up for grabs.
