October 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!

It was such a delight to see you pop on TFLN.
I would love to do meme / PSL things with you! If you have specific scenarios / prompts you like, shoot them to me. Or if you have something in particular you're keen on, we can mash our heads together.
no subject
Otherwise we could always crib a setting from a previous game you or I have been in (I feel like I've been in most of them at this point, haha) and go from there. I'm spitballing ideas at the moment so if you had something else in mind, I'd be happy to roll with that too!
no subject
In the way that you're not familiar with LoZ, I'm not super familiar with Granblue. I know there was a console / PC game that came out and I didn't play it myself, but I watched someone else play it. My info on the characters is pretty bare minimal, though that has never stopped me from exploring what could be.
In Midna's specific game, there's a lot of usage of 'twilight portals' that connect her world to regular Hyrule, which makes it very easy for me to essentially justify throwing her into any other world.
I think the idea of them by purpose or incidental coming together in the same world, both disconnected from their own, adds to a purpose for why they should cooperate (if their end goals are the same). We could use Kenos' world as setting if you wanted to. We could also make up our own on the fly (a bit more challenging, but still doable). If we wanted to go with the latter, it could be a world that is comprised of familiar sights and sounds and creatures from their own world, which could give them a means of sharing information about one another to each other.
no subject
As far as Granblue world, it's not too complicated! The gist of things is that the setting is a series of islands floating in the sky and each island has its own habitat/ecosystem and people and culture. Some are entirely forests, some are all desert, others are just a giant beach, etc. There are also plenty of unexplored islands, so it's pretty easy to just make up our own setting and go from there.
Either going with Kenos setting or making one of our own sounds like a good plan, though I fully admit that I've forgotten a lot about Kenos so the amount of work would be the same for me, haha. I do like your idea of having them coming from separate worlds to end up together is a good idea though. We could use the tried-and-true trope of them needing to find a way home, or there's always the classic trope of characters being offered a wish/incentive for being able to fulfill certain tasks/finding a certain NPC figure. I'm pretty easy either way so I'd be happy to roll with anything if one or another works better for you and Midna.
no subject
I also don't remember a bunch about Kenos, so I'm somewhat relieved to hear you're much in the same boat.
I think the idea of them coming from their individual worlds of familiarity is a good, solid one. I think one could easily use the wish / incentive concept to tie into the desire to return home (or perhaps something more, Midna takes her role as princess of her people somewhat seriously, but she does enjoy travelling and has sort of a heart for adventure - going home immediately may not be at the top of her priorities). I think the incentive for finding such-and-such thing or person is an excellent idea.
What kind of world do you think they should meet in? Should it be some generic fantasy land, or taking a little of my idea of a fantasy [insert genre of world here] with mysterious accents from both of their worlds (perhaps as a means of a higher being / entity / controlling authority to keep them somewhat more in line, since familiarity breeds more comfort)? My brain is still stewing. When I have enough of a direction, I can write up a thing for you. ♥
(But enjoy your vacation!)
no subject
Ohhhh I do like your idea of including elements of both their worlds in [insert generic fantasy world], especially since as you pointed out familiarity breeds more comfort. Plus it'll be easier for both of us to contribute to the setting as needed.
How are you doing with direction? I'm happy to brainstorm/spitball some more if that'll help!
