February EMP Meme

ENABLEMEPLZ

meme goes up on the last 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.

ABSOLUTELY NO obnoxious coding (no font size > size 4 or 3 "big" tags, no banners, no blinking text, no obnoxious tables, no sparklies, no 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 frozen and/or deleted.

FOR CHARACTER ADS:

Put up an ad about the characters you are offering. For PSL/1-on-1 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/1-on-1 section, where you post the 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.

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 screened.

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 screened.

Re: hornblower (age of sail generally); arthuriana (medieval generally)

[personal profile] calicojack 2017-02-25 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
so my canon knowledge of Hornblower is... um... I'll admit, it's limited to watching an episode or two at a friend's house and barely following the plot because we were busy talking about it being gay. I'm sorry, we're terrible people.
BUT
I have a pirate here if you'd like any shenanigans with him?

I also actually have a Merlin (from Merlin) that I dust off occasionally, and a couple other characters that fit in a fantasy canon. ...Or totally non-fantasy characters that I occasionally shove into fantasy canon because who doesn't love a bit of sword and sorcery.

In genuine fairness, the miniseries is 90% sailors crushing on each other. Maybe 80% but. Definitely above 75%. (The books think they're more subtle but they are not that much more subtle.) But the other 10-20% is amazing sea battles I swear!

So mostly yes hello I would love a pirate to drive Horatio up a wall and argue about the sea with please.

I'll be honest black sails isn't much better. And when I say better I realise it makes it sound like I don't approve, but really gay pirates fighting epic battles is my aesthetic. I'm actually quite tempted to watch Hornblower. Because of totally academic and not at all shippy reasons. Ha. Ships.

Anyway, Jack is very good at driving people up the wall and I feel like they would be good frenemies, are there any memes around that take your fancy atm or would you like to figure out some kind of vague setting and throw them together in a musebox?

That is an A+ solid aesthetic.

Aaah yes please to frenemies. I'm such a sucker for the lawless-lawman trope of constant fist-shaking and begrudging almost respect. Looking at bakerstreet, I could go for a modified 'partners in crime' of temporarily not attacking each other to instead attack the French, perhaps? If you're feeling something else, I'm also happy to throw something more generic at the wall in his journal.

Me too, it's such a good trope <3

Either of those options sound good to me, would you like me to throw Jack in there so you can start or would you prefer me to start something?

I am in hecka slow mode; if you don't mind starting, I threw Horatio here.

apologies for the delay! I hope everything's okay there let me know if anything needs changing :) happy to switch to action tags if preferred as well.
