March 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.

Ah, man, Lightman! How do you feel about crosscanon with a canon that includes the supernatural? I have Jon Sims here who is the head archivist at an academic research institution in London dedicated to the esoteric and the paranormal. It's established most average people in their canon think these people are loonies, but they occasionally work with the police, as well, on weird cases. Jon and Cal could be tapped as 'rival' consultants on a case that has some supernatural elements? Jon is a mess of issues and physical and emotional trauma, abrasive and a skeptic. He's also not entirely human anymore depending on when he's taken from in canon and can compel people to answer his questions truthfully, as well as have sudden insight for this just dropped into his head. He is extremely bad at lying and generally lies by omission.

Okay, I'm here and I have ideas(tm) for this. Do you have a musebox you like to keep things at, or can I just post it on Geralt's journal?
doesntgetinvolved: (Default)

[personal profile] doesntgetinvolved 2020-04-02 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
for sure, I'd be delighted to have another Jaskier! anything in particular you'd like to play with these two?

my Dorian muse is fairly dormant at the moment, sorry! That's a shame too because playing him is lots of fun. But I would be down for crossovers :)

oh man that kind of thread sounds hilarious and amazing

i am down for both these things!! want me to write up a starter or two?

Oh, I am a sucker for all the classic tropes. Good old body heat, injury/recovery, other thing I cannot recall at the moment. I generally default to shipping, and if that's a'ight, pining is my favorite.

I'm lately wondering if it would be fun to do some au threads with Jaskier as a nonhuman creature (fae, selkie, banshee, whatever) but thats a hella specific niche that may not expressly appeal.

Is there any aspect of Geralt you really wanted to try out? Like combat writing, mystery investigation, shenanigans?

Smugglee almost sounds like Snuggie... but he'd be good as the smuggler! He's a pilot by trade and I could write him skimming around the galaxy and doing odd jobs after breaking from his company/government. And Klaus was my favorite character from Umbrella Academy! Plus mixing his powers with alien ghosts + space horror visions sounds like fun to me.

I'm not familiar with most of your other canons including those but I think Dick as a hero needing tech support would be great! Q could be an underground supplier of tech + end up involved.

I could write a starter for the first set-up—maybe Klaus is being transported (willingly or unwillingly?) as an "asset" for Reginald—if that sounds interesting! I don't know nearly as much about the superhero canons, but I'm down to start a second thread on that front too.

Yeah! We can have them meeting to hunt something mothman-esque in the woods near the territory of one of them and wing it from there?

hello! i made a top level here, but basically i have ocs and am ready to play. i like m/m and m/nb and nb/nb! i have a character who's based in a sci-fi/cosmic horror universe who is at the same time very suitable for tfln or winging it on a meme.

you can pm me or add me on discord DEADBEEF#6007!

Hey there, kinda late to the party, but I've seen you around, and I'm wondering: how would you feel about about threading with this guy? I realize that Harry Potter and Hellblazer have rather different tones, but Remus here isn't that difficult to AU into a grittier reality. Maybe they can be something like magical buddy-cops, teaming up to deal with dark magic and... IDK solve mysteries or something. I'm also a big fan of the Magnus Archives, so if it's cool with you we could even AU them both into that world. Hit me up if you're interested!

Did someone say Sonic movie?

I must admit, when I first saw you on a meme I squealed a little (but was kind of terrified to tag lol). I am down for RP though! <3

I have this blue fuzzbutt here, as well as Shadow from the games, and Sonic from Sonic Boom. :)

I don't have any immediate ideas for threads (yet) but you are awesome for bringing Jimbotnik and I wanted to share the Sonic love <3

She-Ra @ Prismatica

[personal profile] enginehairing 2020-04-02 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
[game]: [community profile] prismatica
[fandom]: She-Ra and the Princesses of Power
[game's current cast]: Catra, Entrapta
[who I play]: Entrapta
[wanted]: Adora, Bow, Glimmer, Scorpia, any of the princesses or the Horde trio. Hordak is my selfish request if anyone plays him.
[game info]: That sci-fi planet that's in permanent retrowave 80's aesthetic. Players can pick one of three moons that provide traits to their character, strongly or not. All up to you. Physical contact between player characters keep the world turning and is the currency used. The game can optionally be NSFW if you so like, but gen is widely available too. Activity isn't high and has no smut requirements. In-game rewards for active players so you can play at your preferred speed.

Ah!! I've never seen someone else playing their Commander around dwrp before, GW in general is such a rarity.

Ok I am mostly here to say hi, because that's exciting, but if you like fantasy of the fairy kidnapping and memloss variety (you don't start without memories, you lose them in trades for magic/favors/cause u died) I'm in a game called Ill Met that's on the smaller side but has open apps. It's invite only but players can extend invites, and we're still actively tagging new people who show up on the current TDM.

That definitely sounds interesting, I'd be up for that! I imagine Klaus will probably be being dragged there unwillingly (he maybe has worked for Reginald in the past, or been brought up by him a la canon, but has run off to live his life of drugs and parties and Reginald has decided he needs to come back - so of course he hires somebody to transport him because he's an asshole)

I like the idea of Q being a supplier, maybe Dick is stuck in an unfamiliar city (could even throw in some cross-universe shenanigans just to make it easier for dealing with canonblindness maybe?) and hears about Q and comes to him?

i'd ask if you're okay but if anyone were capable of that they'd have to be inhuman—

HEDGEHOG!!!!!

do not worry about tagging i am probably more afraid of you than you are of me!!!

but haha, it is really rad to see a sonic around! i will definitely keep slapping robuttnik here up on memes when they come around so if you see me on something interesting feel free to ruin his day!!

i love the heck out of all those options! i have no problem shifting john into hp-land, or vice versa, and dealing with werewolves is always a fun time.

i like the buddy cop option the most myself, if by 'buddy cop' you mean 'begrudging associates because john doesn't know how to maintain coherent friendships'. hogwarts can easily exist, it just seems like a place john would have been kicked out of and learned magic on his own or something. sounds chill?

I just want you to know that I've had a window open for this from your list for like... a week now. With a quarter of an uninspired post that I keep re-writing. I'm still trying! But if there's any meme that strikes your fancy as a good starter before my brain decides to kick over (I know I suggested in medias res but I think that's where my hang up, at least in terms trying to begin something) please do go ahead and try a starter of your own and send me a link. :D

No rush, man!

Have you got Geralt up anywhere? I'll happily write the starter.

!!! It's always great to see other Guild Wars players around so hi right back at you! (and you're right, it is a rarity. you'd think it wouldn't be given how it's right up dwrp's alley)

I'll definitely be looking into Ill Met. I do love me some wacky fae shenanigans and the premise does sound very cool.

(fun note, I've also been thinking about picking up either (GW1) Jora, Almorra Soulkeeper or Zafirah and tossing them up on memes so if you ever want to bounce off one of them I'd be delighted)
