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!

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 premise: haunted cruise ship jamjar with excursions every so often! Characters are still themselves, but have "split off" from their canon selves, who still also exist in canon (if they're not dead)--meaning they can't return home, although they of course don't have to believe that's the case. The ship's magic is fueled by their emotions, which is where horror elements come in. We get a major event every 3 months or so that has horror elements, and these have so far been: a battle royale, a zombie escape, a ghost-posession event, and a murdergame-style trial and execution, while the current event is a memoryshare where the memory can be affected by actions taken by whoever ends up in them. In-between we have much lighter downtime and some mini-events, like a truth/lie curse or a chill excursion to a carnival.
Pace generally ranges from medium during downtime to fast during major events, some of which are more structured and some of which are absolute chaos. To the latter I just kind of stumble in late with Starbucks and still have fun, even if it can be overwhelming!
I'd be happy to answer any questions or link you to examples of event posts and such if you'd like, as well as the current TDM! There's a good balance of horror vs humour in the game, but I understand if the horror aspects are still outside your preference.
Re: 👀
This kind of horror seems more up my alley than more heavy horror games so I'm definitely interested!! Do apps close any time soon bc I might be a bit rushed to complete a proper one, but the premise being that they're basically just copies is def up my alley. I'll slide both over sometime today when I get home and see which character fits more. I'D DO A LOT FOR CANONMATES NGL...
no subject
Apps are always open, so no need to worry about rushing! I'd be so excited for either character omg I'll be so ready to hit both of them up...we did have a Yuri previously if that affects your choice at all too.
no subject
And oooh, okay! Hm. Difficult decisions will be made soon, I just need to poke around some more. My plurk is over at melonette if you want to add me for anything, I'm just sitting here
/jiiiiiiiiiiii.
On one hand, Yuri is better at just getting on with people (aka riling them up, and then fucking off bc he can) or just chilling. On the other, this is the woman who casually picked up a skeleton hand and shoved it in people's faces. steeples my hands.
no subject
They're both such great characters, too... Both of them would enjoy the fact there's a fight club (and that weapons/powers aren't nerfed in the game), and there are definitely characters who'd be vulnerable to each one's specific brand of teasing...including Rita ofc, and lmao either one finding out she has a boyfriend now would be pretty funny.
One thing to note is that pets/critter companions aren't allowed in the game, so no Repede or Ba'ul! Which I imagine would have even more of an effect on Judy, depending on whether that's something you want to play with.
