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!

DEFENDERS / MCU @ RECOLLE
[fandom]: Marvel Cinematic Universe
[game's current cast]: Matt Murdock
[who I play]: That guy ^
[wanted]: Anyone from the MCU would be welcomed with open arms and confetti! I'd especially love castmates from Daredevil and The Defenders, as well as characters from the NYC area (eg Peter Parker, Stephen Strange)
[game info]: Recollé is a memloss modern au game where characters have been reincarnated but begin to remember their original lives.
-There's an overarching plot.
-Items, physical traits, and powers can all be regained. (Matt is going to regain his super senses very soon. Headache of the century!)
-AC is 20 comments across 2-4 threads. Very easy to surpass, in my experience most players are good about tagging around.
-Monthly events include both serious and more light-hearted themes. Sometimes the opportunity for action/fighting.
-You can give your character an AU identity very close to their canon or wildly different, it's entirely up to you. Want to make them a pop star? A criminal? Go for it. (Matthew for example is an attorney but this time he's a prosecutor working at the district attorney's office. He's friends with the local police and lives in a nice apartment with his niece. Of course now that he's starting to remember his other life the Catholic Guilt can begin!)
-Please see the game calendar
-There's an AU workshop (Starts Oct 11th) where you can discuss your ideas for your character's AU self and plan pre-established CR with other characters.

hi there, I actually play comics!Bucky at Recolle! So like, technically MCU Nat is not a canonmate but she also kind of is, in an adjacent way. And I would LOVE a Nat in-game, if you're interested--especially to potentially play up some of those MCU/616 differences!
no subject
Nothing wrong with 616/MCU. Certainly potential for all kinds of shenanigans. I definitely like the premise since it would bring new angles and ways to explore characters.
no subject
It's also a great way to get CR going before you even join the game, if you AU your character to specifically have already interacted with other people in the game. Which people are always happy to work with newbies on in the AU workshop and the TDM!
no subject
And that's good to know because I've found TDMs helped me with other characters I've got in a different game. Natasha is my longest played muse but consistently homeless. I'm just dying to get her into a somewhat consistent storyline for development and steady CR.
no subject
But yeah, I think AU games like this are great for making storylines for that sort of thing, so hopefully Recolle's a good match! If nothing else, the workshop/TDM are great to play with, and if you ever want to try working something out in terms of AU CR or something, I'm always down to talk on plurk (

Totally unrelated to the game but I wanted to mention that I am also the player behind the Rocket (
no subject
Poor, poor lady who is going to go from ordinary to killer. Not entirely unlike The Long Kiss Goodnight but with better hair. The only daunting part is thinking about what life to give her. I've been mulling it over ever since I looked at the comm.
Omg, that thread with Rocket was the best. I know they sent me the log but I was devastated when they deleted that post just because of Rocket.
no subject
omg It really would be like The Long Kiss Goodnight. Wow. Yeah Natasha's hair is so much nicer. Sorry Geena Davis! Man I kind of want to watch that now just because of the resemblance to the game plot.
So have any ideas for her new life hit you? If you're still having trouble deciding when the AU workshop gets posted next week, you can always mention your current ideas there if you'd like others to help you decide or develop your ideas.
RIP hilarious Rocket and Natasha thread. You were short lived but we'll never forget you.
no subject
It really was a fitting reference. Although probably not doing soccer mom Tash.
My issue is too many ideas. The Bucky and I were talking about teen Nat, but I also thought of Detective Nat, painter Nat, rockstar Nat. I know I’ll be using Natalie Rushman as her name. The joy of Nat is that even in the films she’s had at least one alias so her memories aren’t necessarily going to be her own as such. I wanted to give her a few tattoos that she won’t immedia know the true meaning of. Plus make her blonde and then she decides to go red. I just want a chance to test drive some ideas I think.
no subject
I like the name! I hadn't even thought about how her double agent life would make memories extra confusing. Oh my! :3c
I know I was super eager when I entered the game. I actually did a short meme thread with another player who joined with the Recolle AU version of the characters while waiting for the TDM to get posted. Maybe a meme or PSL with Natalie Rushman is in order to test one or two of your ideas.

Of course I'd be happy to see Frank join the game! I think he'd make a very interesting character to explore from the angle of regaining his true identity back. Will he go back to his extreme ways of vigilante justice or not? Hmmmmm. (You know what Matt would vote for him to do. lol) Frank might not have ever killed in this "new life," and he might have a new family, or a completely different background.
Oh yes and my friends corrected me- apparently the fruit doesn't talk it only smiles and dances. Because that's SO much less disturbing when the time comes to eat it.
no subject
I've never played an AU game like this, so I'm kind of curious.
no subject
Recolle is really a mix between an AU game and a memory loss game. It's AU in that you get to create a new life and identity for your character that fits into the world of the game but Recolle is different because the plot is about the characters remembering who they are in canon and regaining their old powers and skills. In a straight up AU game the memory concept wouldn't be present. I was attracted to this game because I liked the idea of exploring how the AU versions of characters would react to their canon selves. Not all memory loss games present this kind of opportunity.
no subject
+ is there a test drive ?
no subject
There are two posts going up in the game's meme community. This Wed the 11th the AU Workshop will go up. It's a chance for players interested in the game to bounce their ideas for their character's AU identities off of others and establish pre-existing CR if desired. Here's an example workshop post. Then the TDM will go up next week Wed on the 18th.
