For all those with microphones it's:

THE PRETEND TO BE A VOICE ACTOR MEME





Imitating characters in text is fun, but can you do it by voice? Grab a canon quote or a bit of your own RPing, try it out and post the links!

See how close you can come to sounding like your character. If you sound absolutely nothing like your character, all the more fun, because no one is taking this seriously. What's more funny than mismatched accents, deep voices trying to sound high, and high voices trying to sound deep? Nothing! That's what!

(Bonus points: Try another player's character too if you want to).

Congratulations, everyone! The meatship's short on money, and you know what that means? More of yours is needed! The problem will be solved by auctioning volunteers off to other crew members. Once bid on, you'll be providing services to whoever bought you. Have fun with that.

RULES:

-If you're putting someone up to auction, make a post. Try to present your character in as good of a light as possible!
-Place a bid for a specific service. Everyone has unlimited money here, so use as much or as little as you want and bid on as many crew members as you want!
-No bidding for sexytimes. This isn't the kink meme, that'll be soon enough. Bidding for things like prom dates and kisses, though? Acceptable and encouraged! The more fun and frivolous (or emotional and tempting)? The better!
-Optionally play out the requested favor.
-Players and characters have the right to refuse to honor bids that squick them out. It's for fun, not an OOC obligation.

I will be placing an example of a bidding thread in the comments to show you how it works.

Are you tired of not having freedom? Are you tired of not being to carry around more than 5 guns? Are you tired of those damn mexicans not speaking any english and parking their cars on your lawn?

Okay, the mexicans on this ship don't have cars, and no one really has a lawn, but if they did have cars, they'd park'em on your lawns if you had one and you'd be just as sick of that shit as I am.

Then vote for me for Captain!

I'm Kevin Ryman, and I'm an American. From America. Where we have freedom, beer, guns, and NASCAR. Where the people speak english! ...Except for them mexicans, and some them chinese people, but they cut our grass and make cheap take-out, so we keep'em around for now.

But, shit, if you want FREEDOM! If you want BEER! If you want GUNS! And if you want NASCAR! Hey, if you want all of that together and have the freedom to drive 200 miles an hour while drinkin a sixpack and shootin at mexicans, then vote for Kevin Ryman for Meatship Captain.

A vote for Ryman is a vote for America.

In honor of April 1st (and a day early) I give you:


That's right folks, it's time to bust out all the ridiculous, silly, cracktastical shenanigans you know you've always wanted to play but your characters would never do on the ship.

Random characters you will never app are fine. Joke journals are fine too. It's pretty much a party in here! 8D
