September 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.
preferscuffs: (So close to a breakthrough.)

[Offering]:
Caitlyn - Arcane
Luke Skywalker - Star Wars (Probably from Episode IV or V)
Heero Yuy - Gundam Wing

[preferences]:
-Any size game. Any pace is fine too.
-Backtag friendly is a plus.
-Any AC type is fine.
-Not a fan of horror games. Horror elements? Sure. But not as the main premise.
-Sex-friendly is fine, but unsure about actual sex games. If the premise catches me and there's castmates, maybe.
-Plurk or Discord is fine.
-Basically I'm not that picky.

Hello we would love to have a Caitlyn at [personal profile] abraxasmods if you have any interest in checking it out! Our next TDM is up on the 20th. It's a fantasy setting with some politics and war and other fun details. Everyone has magic so Jayce is living his best wizard life in that way. We have Jayce and Viktor in game currently. AC is pretty reasonable at links to two threads you're doing with no minimum count. It's very backtag friendly. Not horror or a sex game.
preferscuffs: (All I must do is connect the dots)

I saw your ad! I didn't comment, but I'll definitely be keeping my eyes on your game! I did notice the cap's pretty close so thought I'd see what other options might be out there. Just in case. :)

The arcana system definitely seems interesting and I've spent a while looking at the different card pages. I'm a reader, so it really hit my inner tarot nerd. I've been playing 'can I guess the sort of personality the mods put with each card based on my understanding of the system'. Not always, but I'm right more than I'm wrong. lol

Yeah I totally get that, it does open app wise after AC so there usually are a few more slots that shake out by then. I can link you to TDM when it goes up regardless if you want to poke around for fun or you can let me know if you feel like poking at the last one. NBD either way.

Oh nice! The arcana system is really fun and technically everything in the game is arcane-based magic so how could I possibly resist Jayce becoming an ARCANE mage. 😉 Using 'arcana' cards people can do stronger spells too which is kind of cool.
preferscuffs: (Let's do this by the book)

Poking at the next TDM sounds fun. It's soon enough I don't mind holding off. Though if you wanted to do some memes or something in the meantime? I would be down for that. Cait's new enough I haven't had any real chance to write her yet.

There's a joke in there about how I'm not used to playing her despite being very used to playing her at the same time as I've been playing LOL for a long ass time. ROFL

That's not something Jayce would pass on, that's for sure. Hextech based magic is one thing, but magic magic? Talk about a kid in a candy shop.

Absolutely if you want to, I just put him on Picture Prompt as that seemed like a good option. If you're up for it.

AND LOL. I've never played LoL but I've learned a lot about it for the obvious reasons.

Yeah the Free Cities, one of the factions, has magic AND New Magic which is hextech so really, living the dream. (Much better than dealing with child murder!)

Thankfully by this time I've remembered that just because someone's familiar with Arcane that doesn't mean they're familiar with League as a whole and the expanded mythos thereof. If they'd Just give the Star Guardian Universe the Arcane treatment I would take back most of my complaints about the things they've done as a company. Riot please. Give them more depth. I wanna play barbies with the SG characters!

Yeah, the Free Cities definitely look the most appropriate for Pilty/Zaun characters. Though I did notice one of the other places had a definite Noxian vibe to it.

Hello there! Thought I would swing by and say that I would definitely be up for a baby jedi Luke Skywalker over at [community profile] metaheroes! Especially since my incredibly tired Sith-turned-Republic asset would honestly welcome another budding Jedi he could steer away from what he considers the more problematic tendencies of the Jedi Order and toward what he thinks a proper Jedi should be. He's already done it once in his canon, so getting a chance to do it again might help him miss that person a little less.

The game itself has a check-in only AC and tends to move between a relaxed and a medium pace, and characters do have the option to pick up additional abilities on top of whatever they'd possess in canon. It's invite only, but anyone already in the game can give you an invite if you decide to join. This month's Test Drive can also be found over here if you wanted to give it a try before deciding (you don't have to already be in the game to post on the TDM, it's open to everyone, with the option to make anything you do there game canon if you do decide to join).

Also, since I notice one of your other characters is from Arcane, I do feel obligated to point out there's also a Jinx already present in game and another character (Jayce Talis) test driving at the moment. Neither of them are me, but I'm sure they'd welcome canonmates as well.

I will definitely give it a look. :)

We have a Viktor at [community profile] faderift who would love castmates!

We are a smaller game, very accommodating of all sorts of paces and very backtag friendly. It's a Dragon Age game set in Thedas, but there's no requirement to AU your character. Characters can come in as their original version. The premise of the game centers a lot around action and adventure, and we have lots of different kinds of plots. Some of them involve horror elements, but they're easy to avoid and there's plenty other options to join plots or propose your own if you're into that!

The game navigation is here

I'm actually a long time fan of the franchise. I didn't even know Faderift was a game that was still going. That's some serious longetivity!

I legit snorted Pepsi Max out of my nose at the no characters who are or have ever been cats rule. That's hilarious and feels like it has a story.

I will be sure to give the game a look. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
