December 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!

Preferences:
-AUs, PSLs, Memes are cool.
-Moderate pace I can keep up with would be appreciated.
-Plot focused games are alright with me!
-I don't have a specific genre in mind that I'm against, something with CR building would be nice, as well as/or horror/supernatural/transformation-based games. Besides that, I'm about fine with any, just feel free to ask!
-Murder games are cool with me.
-I am cool with memory loss and power loss/nerf games. On the topic of the latter, I am fine with characters that transform (I.e. Ranma, Launch) being mode locked in one form if the game requires it.
-Smut is fine.
-As someone who loves crosscanon, I wholly welcome it! Likewise, castmates aren't a negative for me either! I welcome both with open arms!
-Any current TDMs for me to dip my toes in would be greatly appreciated!

It's quest focused for things to do month to month and very CR driven. It's relatively new - opened in September I think? I joined in the November app round. The Test Drives are the event logs for the month they're posted in and are game canon for those that are in-game, so they're going to be active by default.
CR-wise, I've had no issues getting involved and getting really good CR going despite being from a relatively unknown canon.

Definitely sounds like the perfect place for me to throw this pigtailed jerk into. What's the situation on powers and nerfing? Also I saw briefly skimming through it that it's an invite-only game? Also another thing, since it's a log-based game(?), how do logs work? Sorry for the multiple questions, I'm still new to DW RPing and have mostly been sticking to memes so I've never really tried to join a game yet outside of a few TDMs.

It is invite-only, but if you decide you want to app, you can either request an invite from the mods or see if one of the players will provide one for you if you know someone in game and they have an open invite.
Log based means you post to the Game Communities rather than making posts in your own journal.
Games back in the LJ days used to be based around adding all the character journals as friends and watching your own friends feeds for updates on their individual journals. You basically had to have a separate journal per character per game.
After the move to DW a lot of games switched to being Comm (or Logs) based. There's usually two to three Comms in a game - The Logs (where the heavy rp happens), The Network (where the phone/internet proxy type stuff happens), an OOC Comm (for mod posts and info), and sometimes a Meme Comm (for non-canon silly stuff).

Aight.
I see, thanks. I'm still a novice when it comes to DW RPs, hence why I've been sticking to mostly just memes, and I get a bit nervous when trying to app to games. But this one seems pretty fun, I'll probably throw a starter for Ranma on the TDM in a bit.
