December 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!

Hi there! Can you tell me a bit about what you like about the game? I have looked at the info before and it never really sold me, but it might just not be represented well by the available objective info. Can you tell me about the plot and events that happen? What's been going on with the current cast, and how did the last Axel leave?

Sure thing!

I think what I like most about the game is the combination of slice of life and adventure elements. I think there's a good balance of that and the chance to get into really dramatic stuff but also something silly and more relaxed. There's a lot of opportunities for growth and emotions and things like that. I've found people to be very friendly and there's lots of opportunities for CR.

As for the plot of the game, characters arrive on a floating island known as Verens, where emotions have a strong effect on the environment. For example if a character is happy the sun might come out or sparkles will appear or if they're sad, it'll rain in their area. Each character is also aligned with a God-like being known as an Arehtai, and their emotions feed into that creature as well. For example, one of the Arehtai is Elios, who governs love and hate and everything in between. The key is to keep the Arehtai balanced because going too far one way or another can cause them to have effects on the island, usually of a destructive nature. That's one example of the kinds of events.

There's also the option to explore the wider world and try to figure out what happened to it since a good chunk seems to be in ruins and we're only just discovering other cities and places like that. That's another type. Then there's the options for slice of life type events, including festivals and parties and things like that, as well as opportunities for player plots. It's pretty varied but there's a good balance. The game does speed up during event time as well.

So the current cast is Roxas, Sora, Riku Replica, Mickey, Namine and Cloud. Roxas, Sora, and Riku Replica live in the same house with a few final fantasys that have been more or less adopted by Sora. There's also a few Disney characters about. The cast has been pretty quiet lately, mostly because of the holidays. Roxas has been dealing with the fact that he knows he has holes in his memories and both he and Sora have recently learned of the existence of Xion, We previous had an Aqua who taught Namine how to use a keyblade, Sora is currently dating Squall from FF8, and I think that's where we're at mostly. The previous Axel had to drop as the mun got busy with life.

That was kind of a tl;dr but I hope that helps.

tl;dr is fine! It's just better to hear a description from players, I find, because objectively game info can feel very different from how the actual gameplay pans out. And I asked about the previous Axel mostly because I apped into an existing cast once where my predecessor had left in a kind of unpleasant manner, which made picking up where they left off difficult. Good to know that doesn't seem to be the case here.

I'll have another look at the game when I get off work, thanks for your response! :)

[seasaltkeys]

Yeah, no unpleasantness here.

No problem! I'll give you a link to the test drive as well if you want to test the waters and such. Thanks for taking an interest!
