March 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. ➤ All mod responses regardless of whether they're rule breaks, correction requests (like someone posting in the wrong section), or thwapping someone for spamming copy-paste ads, have always been and will almost universally be public. If someone sends a PM and the conversation gets combative, this will also be made public and posted to the comments of the mod contact page. This is for the sake of transparency so people can judge the emp mod's communications for fairness themselves. There are times where the player's post may be screened (such as if they posted to the wrong section) but the mod's response will be left unscreened. ➤ Players may sometimes be allowed more than one strike for copy-paste ads since this is often just enthusiasm behind it, but game mods should know better. They'll get one warning for copy-paste ads, and if they spam anymore copy-paste ads after the warning, they'll be banned from the meme. MOD CONTACT: If there's trouble, tell me HERE, please!

THE LEGEND OF ZELDA @ Metaheroes
[fandom]: The Legend of Zelda
[game's current cast]: Twilight Princess Link & BOTW Link (there is room for a third Link!)
[who I play]: Twilight Princess Link
[wanted]: Literally anyone?? Particularly Midna or various iterations of Zelda and/or Ganondorf. It would be great to see the champions, too!
[game info]: Game premise here, but in short: Sandboxy superhero game with a detailed (but mostly optional) metaplot! Characters are jamjar'd in the usual way, and find themselves on an alternate Earth where superheroes ("metas") are a common occurrence — and your character is now included among them, and even if they didn't have superpowers before... they do now.
The metaplot is engaging and ongoing, involving social and political tension rising between metas and non-superpowered citizens... but if you choose not to engage with it, and instead want to use the setting as a sandbox for CR, that's also welcome!
The setting is an AU United States, and there are four major cities where player action takes place, each themed after a particular "flavor" of adventure: There's a rural Kansas town famous for alien sightings with a general X-Files vibe, an old city in Lovecraft Country bursting with magic and mythology, a gritty midwestern city corrupt with crime families, and a west-coast futuristic technological wonderland.
Currently, the two Links have just arrived, and TP Link is absolutely delighted to meet one of his successors.
+ AC is very relaxed (no comment count required, just check in once a month & explain what your character did all month)
+ Multiple versions of a character allowed (limit 3 total)
+ Invite-only, but currently any player can invite you (we each have 1 invite per month at this time)
+ Test Drive Meme here.
no subject
so i've been top leveling zelda around a bit on bakerstreet after a long rp hiatus! but i find myself missing the continuity and sense of community that's in rpgames so i thought i'd poke you here. the premise sounds interesting! the cast is tempting... and i can already see Zelda wanting to get into a lot of things you've mentioned here especially exploring the cities (technological wonderland!!!)
is the tdm invite only as well? or could i toss her there without any permission to test it out?
no subject
The TDM is open to everyone, so you can throw Zelda up there whenever you want! I'm looking forward to it.
Do you know what her canon point will be? If she's still struggling with awakening her powers, I think it might be fun for TP Link to adopt her as like... a little sister and mentor her to the best of his ability. Honestly, he could still do that even if you pull her from after she awakens her powers, so whatever you want is cool!
no subject
oh, awesome!! yes, i will definitely do a bit more reading on the game proper and think about what i can do for a top level. excited!
re: canon point, that's a great question! i haven't really decided lol. i really do love a Zelda that has fulfilled her duty and gets to do everything she didn't get to do pre-calamity without the stress and pressure of needing to unlock her power breathing down her neck. she can figure out who Zelda is. she's not just a princess or Hylia's vessel anymore.
but also... tp link adopting her as a little sister and being a mentor sounds adorable too sign me up aaaaa teach her how to work on the farm she's not afraid to get her hands dirty!
i could even take her pre-memory #1. hmmmmm, i'll need to think of what i want to write as far as a story arc goes and what fits in the game. there are a lot of points to take her from that could change so much. especially with her gaining powers from metaheroes lmao idk if she'd be overjoyed or furious... maybe both...
