Happy New Year, everyone! To celebrate belatedly, I bring -

YE OL' PLOTTING MEME

o1. Comment with a list of your characters + a little bit about them + something you'd like to do with them (the more specific, the better, it makes it easier to see where interests match!) OR you can use -

o2. Go around the meme, and approach people if their characters can help you with a plot OR if you think your characters would just have The Cutest Interaction of All Time OF. ALL. TIIIIIIIIIME. Check out people you've never tagged, people you've always wanted to tag, etc!
o3. Talk amongst yourselves and plot something out to make your plans happen!
o4. PROFIT???? And pass down 10 20% of it!

shall_yield_us — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 16:29:07 GMT

THE IC + / 0 / - MEME

o1. List your characters, one/comment.
o2. Tag around, tag arooooooooound...
o3. For each of the characters who reply to yours, your character has to ICly, in their own words, name:

i. something your character likes or appreciates about the one who replied to them
ii. something your character dislikes, is irritated by, or even loathes about the one who replied to them
iii. something your character would say or wish in all honesty to the one who replied to them, consequences be damned (this can be anything from a "Please look after yourself more!" to "GDI, STOP LEAVING THE TOWELS ON THE FLOOR.")
iv. Give it a shot EVEN IF YOUR CHARACTER IS V. NEW! There's nothing like wacky first impressions!

Think of it like an honesty curse, except your characters can't get around these potentially delicate issues! Also, try to tackle all three things: likes/dislikes/general > )

(why? chupacabras.)

THE POLY DRINKING GAME* MEME

Because running jokes are, in Alex's opinion, one of the most entertaining parts of RP.

HOW YOU DO IT:

→ Comment with fun and interesting quirks about the City/your characters/your CR, in the style of a drinking game list!
→ For example: "Take a shot every time Rosella says 'It always gets better'." or "Take a shot every time Tony Stark retools a standard kitchen appliance with hilarious results."
→ Keep it friendly and lighthearted, please!
→ Discuss other people's contributions. Reminisce. Prolong the hilarity. 'Tis the season.

*Note that "drinking game" is used here in a figurative sense and is not meant to endorse or encourage consumption or over-consumption of alcohol in any way**.

**But you probably knew that. ♥

i haven't posted a meme in three years and it shows, man

THE TL;DR MEME

Also known as "why do you play who you play," "the one time you're encouraged to wax poetic," "tell me your headcanon," "where did you get your keywords," "tell me all I ever wanted to know about your characters" and the ever-popular "if your character was stranded on a desert island, which Poly character would they eat first"?

And so on and so forth, from serious to cracky. It doesn't matter if your characters have interacted yet or you know anything about the canon or not!

--Post a list of your characters
--Get asked questions about them
--Remember to ask questions in return
--And have fun! =)

THAT ONE MARRIAGE MEME

o1. List your characters, one / comment!
o2. Long live the joyous (?) couple! Your character and the ones replying to it are suddenly married, have been blissfully joined in questionably sane wedlock for many moons, wake up after That One Awesome Party from Vodka-Filled Hell sporting stylish wedding rings, or are currently about to embark on ~~gunpoint-held~~ wedding ceremony of their dreams! Or, really, any marriage scenario you can think of. Go ahead. Plagiarize a really bad romcom setting. You know you want to.
o3. Thread away, thread away!
o4. Aging up minors is perfectly okay, laughing entirely too much is encouraged, and common sense is generally frowned upon. Anything goes, as long as you keep it PG-15! Remember now: it's not a real wedding meme unless someone out there marries a zombie, or a chair, or a zombie chair, the lord and liege of the thrones of the undead.

ITP: terrible meme names, it was this or "the legal pimping meme".

halflost — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 02:24:36 GMT

M EME M OST E NABLINGLY

i ) List either the characters you'd like to see apped or characters you're thinking about playing. Include reasons and links to Moments of Crowning Awesome at your leisure to convince people rusty / unfamiliar with them!
ii ) Read around and—well, discuss. Enable the people who need that extra push, talk about bringing your new canons or new characters! (Management takes no responsibility for injuries or kidnappings which arise as a result of this meme.)
iii ) Link it around, invite people outside the game who might be interested / considering an app if you like. The meme doesn't discriminate!
iv ) ???????
v ) ... pay your cut to the meme-maker—pimpin' ain't easy. :(

Note: For the sake of slow-loading browsers, please stick to reasonable font sizes and keep images in links or under collapsed threads!

shifts — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 18:57:35 GMT

We haven't had one of these in awhile, so!

o1 aching for some CR? comment here with your characters.
o2 other people offer their own characters like two cent whores on a street called Alamo.
o3 ???
o4 profit! build CR outside your usuals, make some new friends, find new people to stalk, be dazzled, amazed, orgasm, etc etc.

shall_yield_us — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 21:20:01 GMT

Ladies. Gentlemen.

It's time. Again. And again. And maybe again thereafter!

<3 MEME

o1. List your characters, one/comment!
o2. Reply to other characters with one/more of the hearts below, which are meant to ~~save you from the tl;dr meme~~ express your characters' honest opinions!
o3. Math 101: YOU + TAGGING EVERYONE EVER = DIVINITY OF CAKE-LIKE PROPORTIONS. Even if your character's only been around for a very short while, or if you can only comment with their first impressions -- do it! No reason not to have fun!
o4. Keep this in a separate tab, so you can have a reference without doing all the scrolling >>!

Poly ATP

whattingawhat — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 17:22:40 GMT

Polychromatic Most Wanted

Tomorrow App This Plz puts up their monthly ATP. I know there's a lot of people who want to see various characters in the game so, let's enable each other, list out who we want and then when we all put up individual ATP ads we can link to this as well just in case they're curious about who else is wanted in Poly.

*Keep the 'ads' to links and fonts that aren't obnoxious

*List fandoms, most wanted characters and pass out links

*Respond, ask questions, enable, make plans

*Have fun!

*Profit!

IC I SHIP IT MEME

o1. List your characters, one/comment.
o2. Other people reply with whom their characters would ship yours (if they had to pick a ship/matchmake, etc). ex: the City Bear really thinks Carousel Pony #29 and Underground Beast #3145 were meant to be. Including (hilarious) reasons as to why the character thinks the pairing would work out is optional, but encouraged!
o3. thread on, have a laugh, etc!

shall_yield_us — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 16:37:45 GMT

PERSONAL CR ADS

A Calorie-Free Meme

o1. list your characters, one/comment, together with an OOC 'matrimony'-like ad to help find them the cutest CR of all time. Liz's example for Mizuno:

'bright, derpy pink-haired girl with more insight than you'd think seeking positive and upbeat but mature elder sister figure!'

o2. comment around where your character seems to match the one sought, and figure out how to get the two interacting in-game!
o3. ...establish new and beautiful and squishy and shiny CR??? Dunno, dunno, dunno, just seemed weird to only have two instructions.

meme time is ... all the time?

veritaphobia — Sat, 13 Aug 2011 06:26:42 GMT

THE GRAB BAG MEME

I. Post a list of your characters.
II. Ask questions! Anything from "Why'd you pick up character X?", "your most hoped-for canonmates for Y", "how would you describe your canon Z to somebody totally canon-blind?" to total ridiculousness like "your character in a band AU, how does it go". This is a getting-to-know-your-lineup meme as much as anything. Start with the basics if you like ("I have never threaded with you. Tell me your favorite thing to play about your characters?") and go from there!
III. Reply to your store of questions and ask the person who commented to you a question in turn.
IV. Repeat steps 2-3 until all morbid curiosity is exhausted!
V. Yes, you can still use this to get relationship meme'd.

child_radical — Thu, 11 Aug 2011 03:16:29 GMT

The Music Recommendation Meme

1. Toss up a post of bands/artists that you're listening to now. Tell us all who they are and what genre they hail from or who they remind you of.

2. Be in awe of one anothers musical tastes/discuss examples or notes tossed up by other folk.

3. Have fun and just spread the love of music, for it can save the world, ya.

HOW YOU DO IT:

→Comment with a list of your characters!
→Other people respond to your comment with a pairing (likely or unlikely) of one of your characters + another character!

→YOUR MISSION: Tell us about it! (and by all means, be as serious or as cracky as you like!)

In describing the little bundle of joy, feel free to use this copy-and-paste resource, for your convenience:

Because Alex the First loves this meme and it's been like a year since we did it last. o/

Did I grab your attention?
