May 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.

/SLIIIIIIIDES UP TO

You're playing my absolute favorite Hawke so I've gotta suggest [community profile] empatheias!

+ YOU CAN BRING A PET WOOOOO
+ it's literally advertised as a "mixture of slice-of-life and adventure"
+ canonmates! you'll have them! there's a fantastic Anders and Solas in game, with a Fenris (hi it's me) on reserve
+ no horror here! smut has to be moved from the main comm, but can still be game canon

I'm a terrible judge of pace tbh, but I'm in it plus two other games, and I've had no trouble keeping up. Maybe mmmmedium paced, purely because of its size? But it's super backtag friendly, and all the players I've encountered have been extremely welcoming.

Possibly the best part: it has a very, very easy AC. It's beautiful. Here it is: 1 entry + 7 comments OR 10 comments over at least 2 threads.
FAST END-OF-COMMERCIAL VOICE HERE. There's a couple stipulations that I'll throw out right off the bat: if you're doing the entry + thread, you can't use threads made in your own entry. The threads have to contain at least two comments. A top level in event/mingle logs is considered 1 thread; replies to other top levels are considered a different thread.
That's it. That's AC. You could post an entry and tag someone else's, or tag two different top levels, and you'd be good. Beautiful, right?

So that's [community profile] empatheias! I hope you consider it because jfc I would love to see a Hawke there. LOVE TO. There's a test drive going on right here! (It has a lot of comments, but don't be scared away! It's because a) there are some super long threads on there, and b) apps will be closed in July, so people are throwing all the things at it.) Reserves are open, and apps will be open the 1st through the 7th.

If you have any questions AT ALL, please feel free to shoot them my way!

I actually already have Hawke up in last month's test drive there! I love the game idea but Hawke's so damn unflappable unless people she cares about are around (or someone is in trouble) that I wasn't sure she'd be a good fit. It's still damn tempting though.

I'm really glad that you're considering it! As far as people being in trouble goes: this month, there was an event where people's amulets were stolen, which led to characters either becoming apathetic or feeling ALL THE EMOTIONS EVER. You can imagine the kind of chaos that caused! All of the replacement crystals had been stolen as well, so there was a big rescue mission of sorts (since people die without their crystals) to find replacements. People in need, adventure, exploration, magic doing terrible things ... right up Hawke's alley, I think. :)

I completely missed you on the TDM last month! Granted, I only joined last month myself, but STILL. Would you mind a late tag on it?

Actually I've been 50-50 about just applying so I think I'll do that! You are persuasive. :)
