November 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.

FAR CRY 5/NEW DAWN @ COME SAIL AWAY

[broshaw]

[game]: come_sailaway
[fandom]: Far Cry 5/New Dawn
[game's current cast]: Sharky Boshaw & Staci Deputy Pratt
[who I play]: broshaw
[wanted]: Any of the Seeds (John, Jacob, Joseph, Faith), any of the Resistance (Ryes, Grace, Jess, etc.), any of the New Dawn crew (Nana, Gina, Mickey, Lou, etc.) -- literally anyone who might enjoy a permanent cruise where half of the game dies during a party!!
[game info]: Come Sail Away is a panfandom jamjar RP, blah blah blah, please enjoy our ad for further information on the game in general. What you need to know: sail is a fast-paced jamjar with no network, meaning interactions are primarily done face to face (or over the in-game phones, which are handled through inboxes on individual journals).

As far as Sharky and Pratt go: they've bonded over their shared trauma; post-Collapse Sharky feels responsible for ensuring at least ONE deputy makes it past the cult's brainwashing, while Pratt continues to struggle with his own identity and what "making it" actually entails. They text each other constantly, and spend most of their time gossiping about romance on the ship. They are the definition of broing out and ho downing, and have built up a considerable group of friends by being both weird, and weirdly normal compared to the JRPG characters running around. (1st visual reference, 2nd visual reference and an obligatory 3rd reference)

Pratt is currently preparing to burn a regained copy of Jacob's jacket, marking a positive turning point for him after months of teetering on the edge of collapse. Boy, it sure would be awkward if Jacob showed up right after that, huh??

Sharky learned a valuable existential lesson during October: it turns out that his body is just a meat suit that can be piloted by just about anybody! His sense of self is all sorts of skewed, but one thing's still clear: fuck them peggies!! ha ha j/k unless

CR CHALLENGE: Pratt and Sharky have made a point to talk maaaaaad shit about the Seeds, and have physically described Jacob to several people with the caveat of "it's on sight, motherfucker." Anyone who wants to app in a Seed is going to get some negative CR right off the bat. The game, however, LOVES villains, and you will NOT be limited by Sharky and Pratt's vendetta. There's a redemption theme throughout the game, which means there are plenty of sympathetic characters to talk to. Even if you don't want to reform your nasty cultist, there are enough morally gray characters to ensure they make plenty of friends :)

GAME CHALLENGE: The game moves quick. Everyone will gladly help you get up to speed on whatever's happening, but we might also just be popping off at random and you'll wake up like "wait, when did Pratt get his finger cut off???" AC is easy in my opinion, but some people struggle to meet it. (1 open post + a thread with at least 10 comments from your character, or 3 threads of that length in lieu of a post) The OOC community uses Discord a lot. Most of us have plurks as well; the Pratt player uses plurk a lot, but I personally tend to prefer Discord. (You can mute literally all the channels but the most game-relevant ones, and we're trying to make more use of threads to keep chatter to a manageable level.)

REASONS TO APP: Sails is really fuckin fun, guys. Cross-fandom/media interaction is at an all-time high, so you'll never want for threads. The players are extremely friendly, and most of them are very open to back-tagging, hand-waving, and plotting out things with literally everybody. Your characters can directly affect the plot; a pair of gods apped in, and in their first month, they indirectly saved an NPC's life just by roasting a pig in her honor! Pratt argued about lootbox mechanics with the Captain!

Interested? Yeahhh, I bet I had you at "Far Cry 5 cast," huh?? Okay, ready to get someone's ass kicked or codependently clung to? Here's the newest TDM! You can hit me up here with questions, or find my contact info and HMU that way!
