September 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.

o f f e r i n g
this is a joint ad for dave strider and jade harley from homestuck! neither of us are looking for games for any other characters at the moment.
p r e f e r e n c e s
we're both in [community profile] recolle and [community profile] elnysa respectively, so please don't recommend either of those to us.
no sex games.
we'd prefer something without a rewards system!
no forced humanization, i'd like to keep jade's dog ears.
our only hard no on pacing is fast.
plot heavy or sol is fine.
a slow to medium pace is good.
backtag friendly.
castmates are great, but we can do without.
dreamwidth based only.
comm based only.
?au and/or memloss would be a hard sell, but we won't take them off the table completely.
?we're open to potential power nerfs!

Oh hey you two what a surprise seeing you here have you heard about this lil game called [community profile] lifeaftr?

It tiiiicks some of your boxes:

  • It ain't recolle or elnysa
  • It has a metaplot that's currently scheduled to take about 2-3 years to go through, which isn't extensively heavy. There are SOL aspects and a lot of exploration, too!
  • No forced humanization, Jade can keep them ears
  • It's slow to medium paced depending on who you're threading with; some of our taggers are fair boomerangers, some may stick to a schedule of a day or two!
  • Everyone is super backtag friendly
  • We have a Kanaya who certain sources say is excellent
  • It's on DW
  • It's comm based with the option to have an IC inbox, but it's not required!


    The only think I think it doesn't hit a hard sale on is it does have rewards in a manner of speaking; characters can accrue favors to use on item requests. But I mean, you knew I was going to jump you two so here it is and this is a lil' premise with the navigation links and this has been Birb, enabling the heck out of you.

    Would you consider Last Eden? We're a small fantasy-based space game with political/factional intrigue. The plot is released monthly, upon which PCs have the whole month to play out their stuff and then reconsolidated for next month's plot. Our current plot mission for October involves exploration and the sniffing out of some mysteries, if that's up your alley!

    HELLO. I'd like to recommend [community profile] lostcarnival. It fits your prefs and I am DESPERATE for more castmates! (I play the Psionic, so no they don't really know each other, but still!)

    no forced humanization, i'd like to keep jade's dog ears.
    No forced humanizing necessary! In fact you can even make her more dog-like if you want. Or not if you don't want to. There is a transformation element to the game but players can engage in it as much or as little as they like!

    plot heavy or sol is fine.
    I like to think of the game as "slice of strang life." The characters work at multiverse travelling carnival, so there are slice of life elements with them just doing their jobs and sightseeing and living the carny life. However, there is also an overarching plot with some reoccurring baddies. The carnival has a long history and so there is a bit of bad blood between some higher powers and the carnival's leader. Each world the carnival visits also has stuff for the characters to do or mess around with. The game is very encouraging of player plots as well! It's a player action focused game, so the plot is focused around the world reacting to in-character actions and stuff like that.

    a slow to medium pace is good.
    backtag friendly.
    We are definitely slow-medium depending on what's going on in game and a lot of players are VERY back-tag friendly. I am and so are a lot of the people I tag with!

    castmates are great, but we can do without.
    Hello, I play the Psionic. I would love any castmates, please join us.

    ? we're open to potential power nerfs!
    There is a slight nerf necessary on characters with super-powerful abilities (like the psionic, who I play), but you can decide on the nerfs yourself. Essentially you get to decide the limits for your own characters and that's part of the app process.

    Only thing that might lean towards no, there is a rewards system, but you absolutely do not have to do it if you aren't interested. The points are only for if you want to get funky transformations or spells for the characters. Basic AC (no points, just counts as pass or not) is only 10 comments each month with at least two different people, so it's very easy to get and you needn't bother asking for points or keeping track of any of your threads or whatever if you don't want to.

    ONE OTHER THING I WANT TO SAY: We are having a fourth wall event coming up sometime soon, so if you want to use that to test out the game please do so! More info can be found here.
