May EMP Meme

[enablemeplz]

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. MOD CONTACT: If there's trouble, tell me HERE, please!

- games, memes, and PSLs are welcome! i'm busy for next month but i'm looking for new RP starting the end of June
- crossmedium/crosscanon, AUs, and OCs are great in my book for games and PSLs!
- totally okay with shipping and/or gen stuff
- slow/medium pace for games, lax AC if possible
- very tentative on sex games (would prefer emphasis on CR in this kind of game)
- already in futurology!

Would you be interested in Persona Recursion?

-Website might be misleading, but it IS DW
-Pace picks up on weekends, but most of that has also been quick tags in a comm-setting.
-Starts off as AU/memloss but characters regain after they "Awaken." The premise is based on Persona series, but speaking as someone who knows almost nothing about it, it's easy to pick up.

I hope you'll consider checking it out!

[salamandroid]

I've been looking at Recursion, actually! I have a couple questions about it, though - how much of it is plot-heavy and how much of it is slice of life? I'm keen on a mix of the two, but I'm not too picky!

[sociallyarcward]

I'd...say it's kinda balanced right now? We've mostly been SoL so far because the big Awakening hasn't happened yet--so the characters aren't out fighting monsters or using their personas yet. But that's coming soon...and then there have been some events happening tied to all of that as we build up to the awakening. Most of the network posts have been about the weird memories and the weird stuff happening, while the more prose-based logs have been some mingles at a restaurant, people getting together to figure stuff out, or there was a big festival recently.

tl;dr The game has only been open for a month and the main plot is just about to start...so it's kinda hard to say what the game will balance out to be.

Hello, hello~

If you're okay with space and characters being on reality tv, I'm in driftfleet and I would LOVE any of your Bungous! It's invite only, and of course I can totally hook you up with an invite for when you're ready to join!

AC is one of the following: an open post, two different threads with at least five comments each, or one mingle post + two threads in that mingle.

As for other info, characters are placed on spaceships with crew members! And depending on their strengths/abilities, they can be placed in a role on their ship that suits their skills. So, for example, since Chuuya has combat skills, he's placed in a security role to handle combat and weapon use.

I could see Fitzgerald doing really well in a game like this, since characters make money/credits depending on what they're willing to do to please the audience because reality tv! But I reeeeally love Lovecraft and Steinbeck too! For the record, we recently had a heist for, uh, characters who are on the more villainous side, if you know what I mean. ;)

So yeah! If there's anything else you're interested in hearing about, let me know and I'll do my best!

[salamandroid]

Fitzgerald and reality TV is either the best or the worst decision ever made, someone keep him away from the infomercials...

And that sounds real cool! I especially love games where villains can be villains, so getting my anime authors all up in that would be very cool!

What are events usually centered on? I'm assuming it has to do with stuff they do for TV, is there any down-time between events?

[mrfancyhat]

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) both the best AND worst decision!

The events are usually centered around the current destination! For a month or so characters have the opportunity to explore a new planet, take up any variety of jobs on it (coughs fighting and black market stuff coughs other stuff), and every destination has a different theme. For example, the current one consists of a bunch of asteroids and is really rocky. Because of this, there is a rock and roll theme, so characters can play in a rock band and wear really embarrassing rock star clothes. In the heist I mentioned, a "famous rock star" was suspected to have special secret information, so characters broke into his complex to try and obtain info on how everything works (how the reality show works, who brought them there, etc). We were even given the opportunity to decide on the information our characters were able to find!

Since I mentioned jobs, that's an additional way for characters to earn money! There are also player-made permanent establishments within the fleet (such as bars, restaurants, a library, etc). So in case someone played a character who didn't care for the reality tv stuff, they could simply do something else.

There are periods of what's called "drifting week" in which they are heading towards their next destination. So it's our sort of time in-between destinations to focus on anything else, or just chill. Team building or whatever, though you can do that while on destinations too. But players can make things happen too, if you wanted to, during such time periods, with weird things happening to characters. For example, some people have temporarily aged their characters down, and others have had weird things happen to their character's abilities. There are things that can be done to make such things happen!

omg TL;DR along with things that happen in game, you can make as much or as little happen as you want! Sorry if I've said things that make no sense aahhh.
