October EMP Meme

ENABLEMEPLZ

meme goes up on the Second 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.

PLEASE NOTE A RULE CHANGE HERE. ABSOLUTELY NO obnoxious coding (no font size > size 4 or 3 "big" tags, no oversized banners (they must be 250px in height or less), no blinking text, no obnoxious table html that doesn't collapse easily, no sparklies, no large 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 either frozen or screened (based on what seems right based on the content).

FOR CHARACTER ADS:

Put up an ad about the characters you are offering. For PSL 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 section, where you post your character's 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.

There is a "Find Crosscanon" section, where you can talk about a character you play and and desired crosscanon for that character. Please make sure this is not too generalized a search, because just wanting general crosscanon can be accomplished with the other sections of the meme. This is for specific characters or character types you're looking for. In the subject, please list the "Looking for [canon you're looking for]" rather than your character's canon. If looking for a character type, list the character type in as few words as possible. Do not make the subject huge or I'll screen your comment. For the actual text of the ad you must use the "Find Crosscanon" form provided at the bottom of this post so that these ads don't get huge. This section is only for game crosscanon as in the psl section people can list their preferences.

Examples of crosscanon you can search for: You play The Flash from DC Comics and your dream CR is fellow speedster Quicksilver from Marvel. Or you might play a witch and want cr with other witches in general. Or maybe you play a good character messed up by evil parents and want to play against a villain character you know has evil parents, because you know it'd lead to some interesting negative CR.

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 frozen or screened. Keep in mind this needs to be more specific than "this game has easy AC like you're asking for but meets none of your other requirements." Make sure you're advertising games that might click with that specific character, where a few elements fit what they're looking for. You should be thinking about the story reasons of how the character might click with the game.

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 frozen or screened.

All mod responses regardless of whether they're rule breaks, correction requests (like someone posting in the wrong section), or thwapping someone for spamming copy-paste ads, have always been and will almost universally be public. If someone sends a PM and the conversation gets combative, this will also be made public and posted to the comments of the mod contact page. This is for the sake of transparency so people can judge the emp mod's communications for fairness themselves.

There are times where the player's post may be screened (such as if they posted to the wrong section) but the mod's response will be left unscreened.

Players may sometimes be allowed more than one strike for copy-paste ads since this is often just enthusiasm behind it, but game mods should know better. They'll get one warning for copy-paste ads, and if they spam anymore copy-paste ads after the warning, they'll be banned from the meme.

MOD CONTACT:

If there's trouble, tell me HERE, please!

Important note: IP logging has turned on due to multiple instances past and present of problem players trying to return to the dwrp community via emp after being banned other places, so I'll be IP logging from now on, and will compare notes with the rpa and wg mods (as well as game mods) where appropriate if it seems like someone that has been mass banned. I will not pay attention to IPs otherwise. I don't care what people like playing or who's who. So please feel comfortable to keep doing your thing, anon or otherwise. The knowledge will only be used for really egregious problem cases.

[ with the caveat that this is EXTREMELY tentative as i haven't been in a game in literal years 🤡 but: ]

offering—
— astarion ancunín ( baldur's gate 3 )
preferences—
— slow to moderate pace, backtag friendly, easy ac
— not really interested in sex games
— 50/50 on memory loss
— down for basically anything else (slice of life, horror, fantasy, sci-fi, etc.)
— slight preference for jamjar over au
— dreamwidth only
misc—
also happy to chat over psl stuff here too if that strikes your fancy! obviously love canonmates but 10000% open to cross-canon stuff — honestly anything in an even remotely similar fantasy realm, e.g. game of thrones/house of the dragon, elden ring, the witcher, the wheel of time, divinity, dragon age, the lord of the rings, demon slayer, final fantasy, the legend of zelda, god of war, etc. you name it, i'm down to try mashing 'em together. also totally happy to figure out mashing together canons with similar themes that are more in the realm of modern-day stuff (jujutsu kaisen?) or sci-fi (star wars?). i'll make an au ideas page or something eventually i swear!!!

idk, i'm pretty easy, just generally like to talk stuff over a LITTLE bit beforehand! also fair warning i'm a little on the slow side, but if that's not a problem, let's cook.

Hey there! [community profile] faderift might be a good fit for you. It's a small game based on the Dragon Age game series (but being canon familiar definitely isn't required—it's an older game that's spiralled pretty far and away from canon events now). From your checklist:
— slow to moderate pace, backtag friendly, easy ac ✅ We're all old have have RL responsibilities that keeps the playerbase pretty backtag friendly; the ac is simple and designed not to punish folks who are backtagging threads.
— not really interested in sex games ✅
— 50/50 on memory loss ✅ No memory loss
— down for basically anything else ✅ FR is a fantasy game focused on a war against NPC big bads. I'd currently describe it as action/adventure/sol-in-an-interesting-setting type games. If you want to pursue the war plot, there's a lot to interact with (or create), but if that's not your bag then you can SOL it up with the rest as window dressing.
— slight preference for jamjar over au ✅ Canon characters can either be jamjarred in via a magic portal called a Rift, or be AUd.
— dreamwidth only ✅

Other misc notes:
★ Baldur's Gate enthusiasts; I think 90% of the playerbase is chewing through the game right now 🤡
★ We previously had a terrific Astarion in game, and I bet you could get a jumpstart on some neat CR if you cared to
★ Player Characters skew older; I know this isn't a big deal for everyone, but worth noting we have a good number of characters in their 30s-50s
★ Ye olde tdm

Perhaps [community profile] revivalproject? It's very sci-fi! Sometimes there's some horror-themed events (like right now), but not always. Characters are pulled into an alien world and tasked with finding out why the original inhabitants can't live there now. If you brought Zorro in, that could be interesting with my character, Radley. I play him as Spanish-American and if you wanted, it could be that Zorro is real in Radley's world and he is one of Radley's heroes.

oh man, raidou! i think a lot of your cast list would be a good fit for [community profile] expiationlogs actually. it's a fantasy/sci-fi game with exploration elements (and the occasional light bit of horror). i'd put it in the medium pace range. i can't guarantee any mentor-cats, but i'm sure secret identities are on the table. the most recent test drive is here, and apps are open until thursday

I'm looking for a game that accepts MMO OCs for this lass! She's a stressed-out tauren shaman with resting bitch face and a heart of gold. Not particularly interested in body-horror or transformation mechanics, but open to any genre otherwise. Canonmates are not necessary (are people still playing from WoW anyway lol)!

[personal profile] skeletonkeay 2023-10-15 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[personal profile] pumpkinhollow is always down for OCs of any kind! It's a horror-comedy with a Victorian-inspired setting, a collaborative mystery, and a mixed bag of a cast. Here's our TDM!

Offering:

Species X --- [[ I Want To Be A Big Baddie ]]
  • The One Among Us in SCP-Foundation-style story aka. an alien sample that got away and promoted itself into part of the research team while nobody was looking. Basically a cross between a goofball fantasy slime and a The Blob-like horror. Has a strange hatelove affair going on with the scientist who took it apart before it learned how to disguise itself as a human.

Shiki Ichinose --- [[ Tougen Anki ]]
  • The Oni-version of why you should never pity-raise the cub as a wild animal. Grew up thinking that he was an ordinary human in a world that's dominated by heroes who consider the eradication of all 'evil' Onis not just their duty but also their right. Loud, brash, kinda stupid angry teen with a love for firearms, doing the right thing but always in all the wrong ways, and a serious case of chronically getting lost on who he's supposed to view as enimies and who as friends. (It's the Good Guy's fault. Always the Hero's fault for sure.)
Looking for:
  • any game sizes are okay, backtag friendly due to my weird timezone is a plus
  • castmates not needed (I'm gonna be realistic here)
  • no sex or mainly SOL-games
  • No AU games
  • power-nerfing, horror and everything els is fine

[character offered]: Gale from Baldur's Gate 3

[preferences]:
⯌ Backtag friendly, slower pace preferred
⯌ Easy AC please
⯌ Sex-friendly games are a-ok but nothing totally sex focused
⯌ I'm not big on horror BUT if it's a mixed genre game I'll consider it
⯌ Open to AUs, SOL a maybe
⯌ No 100% power loss because... c'mon he'd be chewing at the bars of the cage. It would NOT be pretty.

Hey! [community profile] faderift might be a good fit for you. It's a small game based on the Dragon Age game series (but being canon familiar definitely isn't required—it's an older game that's spiralled pretty far and away from canon events now). From your checklist:
★ Backtag friendly, slower pace preferred ✅ We've been called the 'game for tired olds'. Most of us have RL obligations and are backtag friendly and/or enthusiasts
★ Easy AC please ✅ AC checks are every three months; provide three proofs during that time frame, but those proofs can have occurred any time during that 3 month period (again: backtag friendly)
★ Sex-friendly games are a-ok but nothing totally sex focused ✅ Sex has been known to happen in inboxes, but isn't the focus of the game
★ Genre ✅ FR focuses on a fantasy!war, so we occasionally have plots with horror or intense elements but by and large I'd describe it as a action/adventure/sol game
★ Open to AUs, SOL a maybe ✅ You can choose to either have your character arrive in the world through a Rift like a more typical jamjar, or AU them to be a character native to the setting; we have SOL elements, but there's a lot of plot you can opt into (or create!) if you want to chase that instead
★ No 100% power loss ✅ There are power nerfs to even the playing field of the player characters, but we've had a fair number of DnD types before

Other misc notes:
★ Baldur's Gate enthusiasts; I think 90% of the playerbase is chewing through the game right now lol
★ Player Characters skew older; I know this isn't a big deal for everyone, but worth noting we have a good number of characters in their 30s-50s
★ A robust collection of magic nerds/scholars-type player characters who would probably love to talk nerdy with Gale
★ Ye olde tdm
