September 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. ➤ 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!

LOST CARNIVAL: FOURTH WALL EVENT STARTING OCT 13TH!
You earned yourself a debt. There are a lot of ways to do it. Maybe you played a game of chance without paying, and then lost. Maybe you watched part of a show through the curtains of the Big Top without a ticket. Or maybe you’re one of the rare few to seek out the Ringmaster by choice, to see what this strange new world has to offer. Either way, you end up with a job with which to pay the carnival back, and a contract.
For a year and a day, you’ll travel with the carnival, given work to match your skills. You’ll see the multiverse and help to bring wonder to its various inhabitants. You’ll meet new people, discover new passions, and change in ways both physical and emotional. And after that... the Ringmaster vows to return you to the precise place and moment you left. If, of course, that is what you still want.
Sounds like a good deal, right? Well, either way, it doesn’t really matter what you think of it at the moment. The Ringmaster has decided to give this opportunity, and you had better make the best of it.
As you’ll soon learn, sometimes what goes on backstage is more complicated than it seems, and a carnival that can travel through worlds can also earn itself some powerful enemies.
The game is likely to run for a couple years, and is intended to have a flexible and free form meta plot that encourages contributions from players, and will balance carnival slice of life with more involved and dramatic plot arcs.
NEW TEST DRIVE MEME IS OPEN HERE.
APPLICATIONS AND RESERVES ARE OPEN.

FOURTH WALL EVENT STARTING OCT 13TH!
Heartstone Manor is a giant, spooky castle floating in the middle of a twilight filled void. It is the home of a Wyld Fae calling himself The Prince - and despite his name, he is a bestial creature crammed into a gentleman's clothing, completely obsessed with replicating the ideals of old timey human society, much like the 1800's. The Prince and his many servants all dress in a manner appropriate to the 1500's - 1800's, and decorum and beauty are held sacred above all else. All the workers of the carnival are currently staying there, in the hope of enabling a successful diplomatic venture between the Ringmaster and the Prince. The Grand Ball is being thrown by the Prince to honour these guests, but his manner of doing this is going to come as a bit of a surprise.
The Grand Ball is going to be run as a Fourth Wall Event on October 13th, in which un-apped characters will be allowed to participate in Lost Carnival in a canonical manner, with a plot relevant method of being officially applied for afterwards. In-game players will be allowed to veto certain cast members from being played in the Fourth Wall event, and duplicates of existing characters are not permissible. Complete rules will be posted along with the event itself, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask!
► NEW ARRIVALS: Instead of being summoned to the carnival by the Ringmaster, as usual, new arrivals will have been kidnapped from their worlds by a monstrous Wyld Fae known as The Prince. Unless a character is actually applied for an accepted, they won't remember anything about how they arrived at the Manor, just that they are there now and despite the strangeness of that, they feel compelled to just go along with the events of the Grand Ball to the best of their ability. They may wonder how they got there and why, but there will be something suppressing their desire or ability to truly freak out or rebel against the transition - it's like being in a dream, complete with dream logic rationale for their current predicament.
Characters who are already in game, of course, will have no such compulsion and will believe that all of these characters are legitimately present, and can be concerned about that as they wish. Fourth wall characters will be mostly power nerfed - they can use their powers in minor ways for hijinx, but will not be able to overwhelm anyone with power. More details about the set up will be revealed with the Fourth Wall event post goes up on October 13th.
TRY OUT THE GAME IN A LOW COMMITMENT ENVIRONMENT!
