September 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 fonts and other html that make ads super long, 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 canon 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. ➤ There is a "Pairings You Want to Play" section, where you can ask for castmates or crosscanon you'd like to ship with. Please format this with "[YOUR CANON] seeking [CASTMATE/OTHER CANON (if crosscanon)/SEE DESCRIPTION (if a general character type)]. For the actual text of the ad you must use the "Pairings You Want to Play" form provided at the bottom of this post so that these ads don't get huge. Alongside castmates and crosscanon, you can choose to ask for OCs or general character types as well. Try not to get too wordy and please don't outline entire scenarios. ➤ 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 options are all from FFXIV, but I'd maybe be open to others? Both are more likely come from the end of Endwalker patches because of avoiding spoilers & I've played it, but the details are kind of foggy to me. (What exactly did Alphinaud do really during DT even? IDK. I'd have to review again.)
★ Alphinaud Leveilleur
↳ Specifically looking for a place for both twins, so it would have to be something both my friend and I would be interested
★ Tsubaki Aoganei (Warrior of Light)
↳ Unfortunately, I haven't figured out just a Scion/Adventurer side of her yet, so it would have to be a game that allows WoLs.
★ Eos (Azem)
↳ Less likely, but I think toying around with Azem would be a lot of fun. Your local gremlin, harassing Emet-Selch.
PREFERENCES;
★ Low AC/Check-In AC
★ Slow/Medium Pace
★ Backtag Friendly
★ Castmates loved but not necessary
★ TDMs would be great to feel it out
★ Open to most genres, but probably not sex games. (Maybe if for Tsubaki or Eos?)
NOTES;
I am (attempting) to come back after taking a long break from RP due to RL and financial struggles, but I can't promise anything for certainty. I do miss RP and want to get back into it, but I don't know when exactly I'd be able to app. The biggest thing for the twins is that a friend and I want to try them somewhere in a game, but she's also in a similar spot with her busy life. We both stream and work, so while we'd like to do stuff, it would really depend on if it works for us both. Any pitches for the twins would be talked over with her.

AC is check in only, and unlike most games it runs on "flex time" so instead of scheduled monthly events/AC, new events will go up as the previous events wind down and the IC date progresses similarly. The game is expected to remain small, and with the combination of flex time, the playerbase as a whole decides the pacing and when they're ready to move onto new things- the idea is to give people time to play out what they like without the game moving ahead until people are ready.
That aside, if you want to check out the game, our first two events double as TDMs, with Day 0 being more typical "getting to know the setting" and Day 1 having a little more character coordination. Day 1 went up a couple of days ago, and both posts are still being tagged if you and your friend want to see what the game is like! new toplevels from new players are linked in our game for visibility.
Other links of interest: full navigation, game info, applications, taken list. Please lmk if you have any questions!

I guess the few questions I'd have are these:
1. Would there be anything against throwing both the twins and Tsubaki up (and if we actually app in)? Or is there a limit to what you can do with the same canon? If both Tsubaki and Alphinaud were in, I'd obviously handwave any interactions he might have with my WoL, but I'd understand if it wouldn't be acceptable.
2. What would you say the pace of the game is like? I wouldn't be against it if it's a bit faster-paced, but I don't know if I'd be able to keep up either. So it's not a deal breaker, but it would be good to know.

2) We're about 3 weeks into the game and I'd lean on the slower medium side so far, esp since the first two events also double as TDMs and we're just shy of 20 apped characters so far. Previous games I've run were on the faster side so I'm very deliberately moderating the pace this time so it's not so hectic, def not a game where you have to be available every single day to stay in the loop! imo flex time helps modulate pacing too
no subject
I'll be sure to give them a try then and hopefully it will be a good fit! And I do like the idea of the premise, so it seems up my alley. I'm just looking over the information before posting anything.
