April 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.

If there's trouble, tell me HERE, please!

The books are definitely on my list. I just work a lot outside of RP so my time is limited. :'(

I would be interested in this, though! I gotta get a little more familiar with Ciri's story — Yennefer's a bit easier, but I *soooo* want to app Ciri to a game eventually. If you're ok with a bit of slowness and the occasional hiccups with canon knowledge, we can do something fo'sho!

I'm usually slow in memes and I'm still finding my feet with this canon myself, so that's totally okay by me. I'm also down for voice-testing with Yennefer, though we might have to get a bit more creative with a scenario there for it to be more substantial than mutual antagonism. :|a

I just want to say that I love that you play Oswald! <3 If you're interested I do have Lee over in [community profile] medietas_comm (which does have a more in depth app) and [community profile] pathema (which is an intimacy based game but easy app and super friendly players). :D If those aren't your cup of tea, I completely understand but I thought I'd toss them out there because PENGUIN.

I just have to drool over Leonardo for a few moments because Leonardo. I absolutely ADORE him and you for playing him!

Can't offer you any castmates BUT [community profile] pathema is a slow moving and I know most people are good with backtagging! Also, the app is super easy and the players and mods are very friendly! You should check us out! :D

More people need to play Alistair! He's amazing and dorky and I adore him. <3 Anyways, not sure if you're interested in games that are kinda sex based, but I'm sure NO ONE would complain if you brought him to [community profile] pathema, or honestly any of your characters. It's a still small game, easy AC, easy apps and you don't have to rp sex and it's really kinda more intimacy based. ANYWAYS, I totally understand if this isn't your type of game but had to try because Alistair is amazing. :D

Thanks for the offer, but I don't think I'm looking for an AU game for him right now (or at least not one where he can't get his memories back).
hobblepot: (you will pay for this)

[personal profile] hobblepot 2017-05-03 03:36 pm (UTC)(link)
'eyy. thanks for dropping in and recommending a thing or two.

Oh god - I just imagined Oswald in the lattermost game. He'd probably be fiercely defiant until he's near-strangled by his collar. And at that point, be even more insufferable because This is Ridiculous and he is the Mayor and How Dare They, so on and so forth. The worst.
gotyouallwrong: (97)

[personal profile] gotyouallwrong 2017-05-03 04:00 pm (UTC)(link)
AHAHAHA. Yes, I can see him being just like that. It would be horrible and amazing at the same time! :D

Re: RED VS BLUE LOOKING FOR GAME

I'd like to offer up [community profile] empatheias as a possibility. The premise is that characters arrive on a floating island where emotions can have active effects on the environment (for example, if someone is sad, it might start raining around them). There's a lot of opportunity for plot and slice of life, as characters can explore the world and try to solve the mysteries of how to get home, or what happened to the world before they got there.

I think it falls into most of your requirements. I currently play North ([personal profile] brodakota) there and would love to see Wash or Carolina (though Tucker would also be welcome).

The only downside is that the app cycle closes tomorrow but if you still took a look, that would be cool. Thanks!

Also apologies for anon. I'm not at my regular computer.

I can definitely take a look! Most likely we'd app next round. I'll keep an eye out for the TDM!

Is anybody in the world a bigger wreck than Shinji . . . Anyway, the only one I'm not familiar with is Ritsuka, but I wouldn't mind tagging with any of them! I'll shoot you a PM in a few with some ideas so we can start planning in better detail.

[personal profile] brodakota 2017-05-04 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
And now with proper account!

Thanks! I think the next test drive will be up May 18th, so I guess keep an eye out around then. I'd love to see them there, seriously

And thanks again for taking a look :)

[personal profile] emps 2017-05-04 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
We're actually looking and we.. really like the game, just FYI. emotions influencing stuff? alignments? world exploration? Sounds great.

Now I just have to decide between this guy and Carolina so I can work on an app, haha.
brodakota: (Default)

[personal profile] brodakota 2017-05-04 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
Awesome! I can vouch for it being a fun time :)

Haha, I'll probably be zero help in that department since I'm biased towards both. Though Wash might be interesting in this setting. Either way, I'll look forward to seeing you on the test drive and if you have any other questions, let me know and I can try to answer them.

OH MAN thank you so much! I was kind of worried that the DVD fanbase had disappeared over the past couple of years. BUT YEY!

Also, this game actually looks pretty fantastic and low key. How do they roll with like historical-fiction-actually-real-people-type characters?

(Anonymous) 2017-05-04 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
i'm fine with sex games, but the Or Die portion doesn't work for me. sorry! thank you for asking <3

[personal profile] gotyouallwrong 2017-05-04 03:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Lol I love that show and know others on plurk who do too! But yes, they do allow those types of characters. I think k we have a couple of characters from the white queen/white princess series. So you're good.

slides in a lil late to answer this

without getting too mushy, eway is the game that pulled me back into dwrp after like 4 years out of it and now I've been playing there a year! So it's obvious to say I'm pretty happy with the way the game works and the cool stuff I've gotten to do there. I'll try to answer as much as possible and feel free to ask more questions!!!

So Entranceway's main thing is it's an Alice in Wonderland twist, with the idea that Wonderland was the first real "world" that ever existed, and other worlds split off from it and created the multiverse. Wonderland gathers it's power from drawing people back in, feeding on their memories, and evolving. The reason it's "Wonderland" themed is because of Alice herself- part of the plot of eway centers around the fact that every time Wonderland has an event from your character's world, everyone in the cast loses a single word out of their memory. In theory, if you're there too long, you'll no longer remember your home, or anything outside of Wonderland. Alice herself is the example of that person, and the World was so shaped by her memories it became as we see it now. There's a toooon of stuff that's happened since then and there's a bunch more detail on the premise and storyline page, which includes a play-by-play of how the metaplot has progressed since the game's opening. Basically, characters are trying to figure out why and how Wonderland takes memories, what the NPCs want from them, and to 'escape' before Wonderland claims them completely.

As for the mirrors, part of the game's structure is that, in addition to the world proper, there is a world that exists beyond the looking glass, ruled over by the Queen of Hearts and populated entirely by "mirror" characters. These characters are up to players to create and control (and frankly I love getting to make them because it's just such a cool character exercise), and exist as your character's opposite in some way. Usually people do this by flipping a key character trait, changing a character's motivations, or ramping up a certain personality aspect. There's no AC for these characters required and while there's a seperate comm for them outside of mirror events, they can be used as much or as little as you want to play with them. The thing to note regarding the metaplot is that they can see through any reflective surface, and are always loyal to the Queen of Hearts, who rules the mirror side of the mansion. So part of the metaplot is that your character's actions are also always being watched by their "mirror" version, and the Queen of Hearts is basically the Big Bad, who wants to oust all the characters currently in existence, believing them inferior to her mirrors and her domain.

The events are pretty straight-forward, in that part of eway's structure is the Mansion taking and absorbing character memories, so usually twice a month (ac is bimonthly, so it ends up being around 3 times per AC period), the Mansion takes a memory from a character (or sometimes more than one) and re-creates it for all the residents. So tl;dr players submit events based on their worlds, a specific event, or a piece of their history, and everyone gets to live it out. There's a TON of examples of this over on the bulletin board page, but it's pretty anything goes, provided it's something people can interact with. There are events that just transport characters to a certain setting, ones where they're AUed into it for a few days (we had a killer Harry Potter Au Hogwarts event last fall), or where effects from the world bleed into the Mansion itself. These are interspersed with mod plot events, which furthers the metaplot, currently the feuding of the resident NPCs. Again, there's more info on that up above on the storyline page.

as far as just how the game itself is, the thing I love most about eway is that the playerbase is just so friggin friendly. I've been through a lot of games in over 10 years of lj and dwrp and eway, for me, is just the most approachable place I've ever been. I play two video game characters (one very nonhuman) and I've never had an issue with medium divide, with playing with canons I didn't recognize, or with participating in things I didn't have a canon idea of what was going on. Everyone is willing to help. In addition to that, people will backtag as long as you're comfortable (I have a thread still going from last September just because neither me or the other player wanted to let it go), but people aren't Super Slow about tagging either.

and uhhh this has gotten crazy long so I HOPE THIS ANSWERED SOME THINGS???? if you have more questions I will obviously be happy to tl;dr the hell outta this but I hope this answered some of the stuff you wanted to know!!!!

[game's current cast]: Kanda Yu, Tyki Mikk
[who I play]: Tyki Mikk
[wanted]: An Earl, Road & Allen would be great. For Kanda any of his Exorcist crew and Allen(#huntedbyeveryone). Anyone really that can be apped. All are welcomed.
[game info]: Trapped in an underground city with no real known location or a way out characters find their emotions manipulated by gods based on those emotions in question. Arc 1 just ended with all gods being revived with new tasty information given. Arc 2 is just starting so this is a perfect time to jump right in!
