June EMP Meme

[enablemeplz]

ENABLEMEPLZ meme goes up on the Second Saturday of every month FOR GAME ADS: ➤ Put an ad up with the characters / crew / pairings / kink 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. ➤ The meme is for fiction-based RP only (with the only exception being involvement of fictionalized historical figures or historical settings.) Celeb or RPF RP advertising, whether for games or players, is not allowed. MOD CONTACT: If there's trouble, tell me HERE, please! RESOURCES: enablemeplz - The plurk for Enable Me Plz.

[character offered]:

Zelda | Breath of the Wild
Raphael | Rise of the TMNT
Raphael | TMNT 2012

Other characters I don't currently have a journal for but could play/enabled:
Sonic or Shadow from the Sonic franchise (though I could probably play anyone you might be interested in; depends on which canon)
Naked Snake from MGS3 (would need to canon review but I loved playing him back in the day)
Hikaru Shidou from Magic Knight Rayearth

[rp you're offering for / rp type you'd wanna play in]:

I've been researching games but have to wait to app so I'm still looking around and open to suggestions! If you're in one, sell it to me! I'd love to learn about it from players. Just comment here so I get it/know where it came from.

[preferences]:

+ I'm open to most genres except murder games (just not my thing). [Slice of life is fine as long as there's a general premise for hijinks of some form to keep up interest/ideas between players otherwise it's easy to get stuck.]
+ Honestly I'm new to DW (but not to RP *waves cane*) so I'm pretty down for most stuff, tell me about it so I can check it out!
+ I think that's it; I'll edit if I think of something else

[punderworldgod]

I'm at folkmore. We have a Rise!Raphael (and a large Rise TMMT cast in general, they're great), but we'd happily welcome more turtles and the game allows for multiple versions if you want to bring 2012 Raphael.

Folkmore (folkie) is a panfandom folklore based game that draws across multiple genres. It's focused on character development with an emphasis on character relationships. Thirteen brings people she sees as having potential (for good, bad, whatever) and sets up trials of varying intensities to push characters to achieve it.

A new tdm just went up about a week ago.

[doyourememberme]

I haven't heard of this game; I will have to check it out. I'm surprised that they allow doubles of the same named character. I've had some difficulty finding ones that I could play in because of this.

I really enjoy character development and relationship between them too - that's the most fun that I've had in the past, just seeing who vibes, who doesn't, and what hijinks they get up into.

I will have to look into it - thank you for the link to the TDM as well!

[punderworldgod]

It never hurts to reach out to the current player, but yeah, it's not required for the game. And players in general IME are comfy with seeing doubles on the TDM testing things out, and that can get the intro stuff going. (You can see there's already an alt!Raph on the tdm and the Rise cast have jumped on them super excited).

Me too! It's not really slice of life or the most plot heavy, but players can lean more one way or the other based on their preferences. Either way, it's really focused on that character development.

I hope you have fun checking it out! And if you link me, I can hit you up on it.

[doyourememberme]

That's fantastic; I used to play in a private game years ago that allowed for doubles and the way people play the same character differently was always something that I loved. It's unique and creative and just fun in general.

I've been reading what I can to learn about the game and the premise in the mean time and it certainly looks to be my cup of tea. I'll have to see about trying out on the TDM to see if I'd be a good fit. Though it looks to be invite only? Or are those who vibe well with the TDM often allowed an invite?

Thank you! I'll see what I can come up with and let you know.

[punderworldgod]

Yeah, I've enjoyed playing against doubles myself before. I feel like it brings out even more about the characters, the similarities and differences.

So playing on the tdm and being active there is the way to go. If you do that, you can definitely reach out for a mod invite. The game's really open to that. Especially since you're new to DWRP, you wouldn't be expected to know current players. (It's not scary to send the mods a message, promise).

You're welcome! Have fun!

[undyingcrow]

Apps don't open until August, but route666rp has a Rise Leonardo and Donnie! O: There's also a movieverse Shadow who is open to castmates, including game or other continuities.

The navigation post is here! c:

[doyourememberme]

I have actually been looking at Route! I've never played in a monster styled game but I've been considering giving it a shot in the future when there might be a TDM?

I think there's one coming up in July?

Just not sure who would be best to play there out of my current cast or if I should consider alternate characters. I love bouncing characters off of people so castmates aren't necessarily a must. Been half considering throwing 12 Raph to make the Rise boys go ???? there but also Rise Raph would be fun. :|a

Thank you for the suggestion!

[undyingcrow]

Huh. Calendar page says July, but the apps page says they open in August... Maybe it's a hiccup? O_o I asked on the FAQ to be safe!

Honestly, either Raph would be fun. xD I enjoy seeing the turtles regardless of iteration.

[doyourememberme]

Huh! I see the same thing - I thought it might be every other month alternating for apps but the calendar does say that it should be in the same. If you get an answer, can you let me know? I'd hate to think I have to wait and miss it (because that'd be my luck).

The problem is that I for the premise I have ideas for BOTH so it's like CRUSHED BY DECISION. ARG. XD

[guilmon]

Looks like the TDM is in fact in July! c: It should be up around the 15th.

[othellovonryan]

TURTLES YOU SAY.

ALSO ZELDA AND SONIC YOU SAY.

Hello, hello, may I also offer up seasonsgreetings, where everyone gets seasonal based powers (while getting to keep canon powers, if with some nerfing depending on how strong it is) where there are quests and events, and a lot of slice of life. Sometimes events be chilled and sometimes vampires have stolen the sun and attacked the town.

There is a friendly base and a lot of freedom for player plot, but also finding the MYSTERIES of the world. There is A Society to interact with, so NPCs to do all sorts of things with. You can see there's a lot about the setting to have fun with, and a power system, and also Pokemon.

As you can see, I play this nerd (whose older now so he's actually taller than Raph because you know. The movie established they were all Late Bloomers.) Also some other shenanigans to absolutely judge and fret at Donnie for.

Also alternate Raph would be quite funny if that's your vibe.

I also play Shadow Link from the Four Swords Manga who has met a BOTW Zelda before.

And LA!Sonic. We have a lot of Sonic cast and alternates are allowed, we literally have three sets of Sonic and Shadow, maybe soon four Sonics. (LA!Sonic is also about to get kidnapped and experimented on this month so that's gonna be great.)

[doyourememberme]

THERE ARE SO MANY TURTLES - it's a sickness I swear. Watch me pick up more.

OH YES I have been enjoying playing this nerd again and have played 'hogs in the past as it was the first fandom for this old timer /waggles cane again

I actually don't know anything about this game! I saw that it was invite only so I didn't check it out, since I really don't know anyone on DWRP anymore. It sounds really cool though! I'll have to read up on the navigation to get the nitty gritty but the premise sounds pretty fun.

Oh, so it's cool with like, different versions or personal takes on the characters picked up? That's pretty neat - I'm used to people being like 'canon only' in old places so it's nice to see that like, you're able to play an older Donnie. You know, who should be fretted at.

Because like, I could play either Raph, really, but I also have an older version or two that's kind of headcanoned for alternate paths but that's usually frowned upon. So it's nice to hear that people are able to kind of twist character experiences and see what happens. I love that kind of stuff - characters having to deal with characters is so much fun.

OH BOY ALTERNATES weeeeeeee I used to play in a private game where we had different 'hogs and takes on them too so it was always hilarious based off of what experience the blues had gotten into. Sounds like LA!Sonic is going to get experimented on like one of my takes on a Sonic did. HEHEHEH that sounds awesome.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll check it out.

[sonic_wachowski]

OKAY THAT WAS ON ME, sadly, Fandom AUs aren't allowed. Donnie is running on CRAU since I played him in another game before Seasons and also just having been in game land for close to two years.

The alternates are just different canon versions of characters. IDW Sonic versus Live Action versus Archie and all that.

Same for Turtles.

Sonic is getting experimented on in game so that's where his fun time is happening. And he definitely doesn't have a lot of people willing to go feral for him, haha.

If you decide to hit up the TDM, Sair is my name for the invitations.

[doyourememberme]

OHHHH okay! No worries! I was like 'oh are AUs allowed that's new' but if there's CRAU that explains a lot. :O

Gotcha - that's what I've been seeing when alternates are allowed so I'm glad I checked.

Poor Sonic torment him more it's fun but any of my three currents would go to bat for a cute animal person in trouble.

I haven't had a chance to really sit down and read everything on the navigations but is the TDM currently up or do I have to wait for a new one? Thanks for the invite! I'll be sure to use it if I hit it up. :)

[sonic_wachowski]

TDM is here and yes, its open. Just need to apply for the invite first. They last two months and are pretty much always up for tagging into.

Sonic has little brother energy for so many people and gotta give them a thing to react to. And you know, hit him right in some of his deepest fears.

[madmewmew]

I AM ON THE WRONG JOURNAL RN but, I'm soft_shelled over at Syn Flux and the new TDM just dropped if you're interested in Cyber Punk Kaiju fights? Me and the Leo there would love either Raph and your Zelda is fun too, so she would be welcomed as well.

Heck, I think any of your characters would be welcomed with open arms.

[doyourememberme]

Hi again friend! We've talked before - the Rise Raph that you played off?

TWAS I

Oooh the TDM dropped? Must have happened after I checked plurk today. I'll have to give it a shot; I have an app lying in the wings but I wanted to see if I'd vibe well with the TDM.

[madmewmew]

Heheheheh.

yeah the game runs on GMT so stuff drops early in the evening if you're Stateside. And yeah, seeing if you gel with the setting and players via Test Drive is nice to do, also I shall hit you up with my dumb teetle no matter who you try out.

[doyourememberme]

I guess I must have written down when the TDM was expected wrong, I thought there was like another week or two but NEATO. Synflux was one of the games I was waiting to test on so we'll see if I vibe well with it :O

[madmewmew]

Yeah it's always the start of every other month on the 1st GMT.

But yes, hope to see you there!

[eternalblues]

Never thought I'd see you around RP land again.

[doyourememberme]

Holy shit how are you???

Yeah, dipped from it years ago but now I'm BACK BABY

[eternalblues]

Things are fantastic minus my health lol. Since I got covid in 2022, it's been a wild ride between ER trips, specialists, dr visits, etc.

How're things with you lately?

I see Sair got you into seasons. Since I was swamped the past two or so weeks, I knew of a Zelda in-game, but didn't realize who the player was.

I'm one of the Sonic's (out of four now) - SatAM, also got Rainbow Dash from Equestria Girls and Tobias from Animorphs around. Along with this walking-talking cat from Bittersweet Candy Bowl.

I'm pretty blind to Breath of the Wild, last Zelda game I touched was Skyward Sword, but last one finished was A Link Between Worlds. TMNT I'm also blind to.

Well, welcome back. DW RP is a different beast and it can be a learning curve. DW Tools is a must have. Tag Recovery is another good one (also on Chrome if that's your thing).

[doyourememberme]

Oh jeez - I'm glad that everything's good even though the health stuff is not great. :( Sending you good thoughts that it gets easier on that front.

Can't complain, really. Same stuff different day - I'm still kicking! Started streaming on and off and have been enjoying that a lot. Still poking writing here and there but really, it's mainly existing and gaming. Really missed RPing like this so decided to throw my lot into DW RP and it's been kind of a crash course of semi-familiar and new all in one.

Yeah, Sair suggested it and I got in! I'm still kind of finding my feet since it's obviously really different than the small ass game we used to play in. Also having to stick to true canon stuff since you know me, I love putting spins on characters and AUing it up. But it's been fun! It makes me feel creative again.

Oh nice, so some I know and some different ones. Neat!

BOTW actually gave Zelda depth IMO but that's partly why I love her so much. I recently finished Tears of the Kingdom but I prefer Breath of the Wild. Never did do Skyward though. I heard Link between Worlds was really good but I didn't get a chance to play that one either.

Thanks! I'll admit it's been a learning curve, mainly since there's stuff that's different from what I used to play, but I appreciate the resources! I prefer FF though over Chrome so I'll have to look into this DW Tools - reminds me of the old resources we used to have for IJ back in the day but obviously I don't remember any of those.
