February 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.

Dragon Age

offering:
The Iron Bull

seeking:
I’m specifically looking for shippy stuff with a Dorian, plot or character focused stuff rather than smut although if smut ends up being a natural part of the thread I’m okay with that (although if it goes there I might end up asking you for advice during, since I don’t have a ton of experience with smut stuff).

I’m flexible on what plot we choose - I have some specific ideas about how to make the ‘Chargers are saved’ version of the Bull’s Demands of the Qun quest more dramatic (either ‘having taken the antidote to the Qun assassin’s poison doesn’t mean that poison doesn’t have side effects’ or ‘not having the structure of the Qun to keep his battle-lust in check freaks Bull out to the point where Dorian has to figure out why he’s acting so weird’), or we could do something with any of Dorian’s issues/his personal quest because Bull’s a helper and if help seemed relatively welcomed he’d try to. Or we could do something post-canon exploring what a long distance relationship would be like for them, or anything else you’re in the mood for.

I’m also a fan of modern AUs, I’ve been thinking of one where modern tech let the Qun keep a close enough eye on Bull that they could stop him/forbid him from telling whatever the modern equivalent of the Inquisition would be that he’s a spy, then start doubting his loyalty, test it, and when he fails the test make his former spy status very public, triggering a bunch of issues for him. If him getting arrested would give us too little to actually play out he could have had diplomatic immunity, but without being able to go back to the Qun his citizenship status would be iffy and even if it wasn’t a known ex-spy might not be able to get a job/pay for a place to stay, especially if he was a well liked public figure beforehand - an idea I find kind of charming, like, imagine Iron Bull The Twitch Streamer. Anyway, obviously most of the people he’d normally couch surf with would be too pissed at him for him to ask them for help. And maybe he’s trying to distance himself from the Chargers, making it impossible for them to find or help him so they don’t get associated with him and share the same social/legal repercussions he’s dealing with. Cue accidental meeting with Dorian, his former maybe lover, maybe friend with benefits, maybe platonic-friend-with-some-pretty-serious-flirting (depending on what kind of established CR you’re in the mood for)? Idk, if you’d like to do this one we can talk the details out.

other notes:
- I have no preference between prose and brackets.

- My length varies so I can’t promise long tags but I do always try to give solid hooks.

- My speed varies depending on my energy levels; if I am feeling good and have time I might reply several times a day, if I’m not I might reply once every couple days or so. If really low energy or writer’s block hits it might take me longer but I’ve been doing better about that lately, putting less pressure on myself with rp stuff, and so I’ve had more energy to think through what to write in replies.

- If I get one or two responses to this I will either delete this comment to avoid getting any more bites, let any additional people offering stuff know I can’t take on any more (if I’m feeling brave), or just not respond to any additional offers (if I’m feeling too guilty about having to say no to actually say it). So if I don’t respond I won’t mean anything by it - I just need to limit how many new threads I take on at a time, and might not be up to telling people so unless I warn them here, in advance.

- If you have crit or any kind of suggestion as we play feel free to give it on this account’s hmd post or wherever else, I like knowing how I can improve.

- I love plotting stuff out, feel free to pm this account or reply to this comment if you have interest in and thoughts on any of the plot ideas I mentioned, or if there’s something different you’d like to play out!

I've only just made a journal for him to wake him back up, so he might be pretty rusty. But if you don't mind me having to find him a bit again, I'd be up for any of this! I'd maybe lean a little more toward an in-canon line rather than the modern AU, but would honestly be happy with either. Feel free to hit me up in PM if you want to chat!
