December 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.

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.

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.

Sorry, New Years stuff slowed me up. But I'll get a thread up for that tonight! Cute and clueless boys!

And I've got to set up my Ben journal and stuff still, but if you want to throw ideas around about that in PM or whatnot (or for Bucky, or Ripper), then by all means!

Will do! (Sorry, New Year ate me a bit)

I also like all those usty, pining, angsty stuff. I'm good with like ... a lot of angst with an eventually happyish ending. Like if it played through Inquisition and Hawke got stuck in the Fade but either got out somehow or Fenris went in to rescue him or something.

But the in between years are also good. My Hawke's usually a joker mage type, with all the pesky feelings hidden behind quips, but he has, yanno, lots of them. Maybe something with like a failed hunt for Danarius on a tip Fenris got offscreen in the in-between time that doesn't turn up anything but is a trap, so there could be some hurt/comfort for one of them or Fenris angry guilty or whatnot?

so... I'm already in [community profile] prismatica with another character, but I was thinking about testing out Duo here on our next TDM. Would you be interested in stopping by with 'Ro?

The game definitely has lenient AC, and it always looks a lot faster than it actually is since it's so backtag friendly. Heero would be an awkward fit because of the whole you-must-touch-to-survive schtick but Duo wouldn't let him just crystallize and die ;)

(I also have a Heero and wouldn't app him there without castmates so I get it)

original character (werewolf) seeking Frozen characters (elsa, others)

[personal profile] pawper 2020-01-02 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
a long shot for sure, don't tell me i'll tell u

[who I play]: Lys Skovgaard/Original (general application here)
[wanted]: Elsa/Frozen

I'm also open to other Frozen characters! Let's discuss the specifics in the comments or PMs, though, for the sake of not having a 500k word ad that tries to account for everything.

[why]: Lys here grew up in a snowy land and has a love-hate relationship with it/winter in general. Snow and ice are part of the only home she's ever known, they're remind her of time spent with a family she adores, but they're also inextricably tied up in memories of starvation and other unpleasantries (shit happens when you're a farmer's kid in a rural village, okok). She's also a werewolf whose powers can do a lot of damage if her emotions fly out of control. Though outwardly cheerful, she has a fair share of emotional problems stemming from all of that, which she of course never talks about.

I've always wanted to bounce her off an Elsa because of these similarities (winter/snow association, power-related trauma) and see if they would click!

◇ Open to shipping if things mesh that way, but not exclusively here for it; "two characters becoming friends and overcoming trauma together" is the main dynamic I'm going for.

◇ Open to either a full AU into the Frozen universe (no werewolves, just a dumb peasant that somehow gets mixed up with the royal family) or a partial AU (werewolf crosses the Arendelle border for one reason or another and Things Happen)

◇ All canonpoints are welcome; I haven't seen Frozen 2, but I also don't care about spoilers, so it's all good.

[personal profile] naturalenemy 2020-01-02 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[character offered]: Maria Campbell
[fandom]: Destruction Flag Otome

LOOKING FOR:

- small/medium size
- backtag-friendly
- dw-based
- plot and events, but on a small-to-medium scale; aka everything happens across a town or city, not an entire planet
- horror/action/etc are all fine, so long as non-combatants have a way to contribute!

NOT LOOKING FOR:

- memory loss
- AU
- complete power loss (nerfed-but-still-there is fine, same for gaining new powers within a game's setting)

It's not stupid at all! It's probably just not as common nowadays. A call me out post is basically a post where people can do things like memes, psls, voice test, and do threads for apps. Mine is set up with the characters I have that I want to voice test or just in general like playing with, along with prompts that I will never say no to. Mine's here, and people can throw anything they want on there if they want to play something out that might not be up in meme comms/etc. There's also specific types of CMO's that can be for one character, smut only, certain CRAU only, or if people don't want to play in meme comms like Bakerstreet.

I can offer Padmé for Leia (family jams), and I can throw Leia at your Han for things. Oh, and older!Leia at your Poe. 🥰 I would also love to dip my toes in Death Stranding things but I’ve yet to make journals; is there anyone in particular you’d like? Cliff for Sam? Amelie for Sam? Or any particular scenarios character wise?

oh gosh DID YOU??? i'm wheezing, somehow i don't have anything from you in seles's inbox here so i'm so sorry if i flaked on you...... five... years ago... (i'm estimating)

(np! I definitely get it haha)

Aahh yes all these sound great! The failed hunt sounds like a great place to start, though. I've tossed him on the body heat meme (maybe they get stuck out somewhere on the dead end hunt?), or I've got an open post for him on his journal.

Also happy to post to a musebox or do a new post, wherever!

[personal profile] akaruku 2020-01-03 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
yessss honestly i would love to write padme and leia or leia and han!! i'm still very tentative about poe (and haven't seen the last movie yet since it's not out where i live!!!) but if i ever throw him out there i think that would be super cute too. ❤

for death stranding, i would love anyone, honestly. cliff for sam would be really interesting to write, especially given how sam is. i would be happy to write him across amelie as well, though i do think i ship him more with fragile! or like, sam with any of the side (?) characters too, like diehardman or deadman or anyone... i just really love the world of this game. 😭 did you have anyone in particular you were like really looking to play? bc i can make anything work!

I'm hoping to voice test and start getting a feel for Higgs if you ever want to bounce either off of him!

[personal profile] particleofgod 2020-01-03 07:16 am (UTC)(link)
I'm hoping to voice test Higgs and get a better feel for his voice, but if you ever want to bounce Amelie off of him, just let me know!

[personal profile] particleofgod 2020-01-03 07:17 am (UTC)(link)
If you ever want to play around with Higgs with either of your girls, I'm totally down!

Just testing out the waters since it's been a long time since I've been in a formal game. I work full-time and study in my free time so I can't be online that often, but I try to tag everyday at least, though not for very long.

Offering:
Richard (Saber) | Fate/ Strange Fake
Johnny Storm | Marvel 616

Preferences
- Dreamwidth only
- Announcements are done on comms and not discord/plurk only
- Slow to medium paced game (Daily tags, but not necessarily boomerang)
- Small to medium sized game (Nothing over 100 characters)
- Open to smut, fantasy, exploration and memloss games
- Willing to try sci-fi and SOL depending on the premise and gameplay
- Not a fan of horror, short-run, AU or murder games
- Game doesn't have to be plotty but frequent events would be nice
- Power-nerfs are fine for Richard, case-to-case basis for Johnny
- Castmates not necessary

[personal profile] akaruku 2020-01-03 10:27 am (UTC)(link)
absolutely! do you want to maybe throw him on some memes, and i can get us some threads going? also, do you have a preference for sam or fragile?
webshoots: (( mask ) full circle was UH a thing)

[personal profile] webshoots 2020-01-03 10:46 am (UTC)(link)
oh shit son, johnny

i don't know if it'll be quite up your alley, but [community profile] meadowlark is pretty plot-based (sci-fi/cyberpunk, set on a future earth — the premise is located here and the faq here ).

i can't really give an entirely accurate read on pace as i've only joined recently, but it seems to veer a little depending on who's around - the start of january has been faster than most of december, but i can't really say how it'll shake out once the dust settles from people recovering from the holiday period.

(and from what i can gather, the game's just had an unusually large app round, so there's been an increase in pace as a result of that.)

a potential dealbreaker wrt to johnny is the issue of powers - characters do have their powers nerfed, but they gain other abilities in their stead as a mechanic of the game.

...and i realise this is probably the least enticing response to an EMP post but! i'm honestly just excited to see someone out here playing johnny tbh. i can be pretty slow with memes and psls, but if you ever want to shoot the shit somewhere DO FEEL FREE TO HMU.

and either way: best of luck finding a game!

Here you go! Lemme know if anything doesn't work and I'll edit.

(Anonymous) 2020-01-03 01:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Spidey!!

I can take a look at it, thanks! I am mostly tentative with powers and Johnny because I don't want to play him too sad for long and his identity is very closely tied to his powers, but it's not a dealbreaker.

I'm definitely up for PSLs though if ever it doesn't work out. BFF threads are the best.
