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.

uc gundam, crosscanon

Offering one Char Aznable up to play against... pretty much everybody! I am still seeking out Amuro, Garma, or Kamille, or any other Gundam castmates I can get my greedy hands on, but I'm also open to crosscanon play. PSLs and memes are both A-OK, timelines flexible and up for discussion. I'd consider myself a fairly fast tagger, though you don't have to be. As far as pairings go, M/F and M/M are equally gravy. I'll ship 'til the space cows come home, the more tragic the better, and I'm shameless about my love of smut. Write some sad smut with me, y'all, I promise I won't drop a colony on you even if Char might

I can't really think of much else to say! I'm very easygoing, so feel free to hit me up here if interested or shoot me a PM and we'll get to plotting.

((small baby chihuahua shaking)) hewwo... hewwo... i offer you... dito...

he is kind of something... please look at his stupid idle pose as well and also his dialogue is a Gift. hes just a cocky jerk that likes to disrespect the people hes working for but hes never the Boss, always the Sidekick (not that he wants to be the actual boss anyway; hes not quite human, a disciple rather, only made to serve intoners). rivalries with him are super easy (see: cent); in fact, he never quite has friends as much as he does allies and enemies. hes solely in things for his own gain and will use people and then either kill or abandon them when things go wrong, get boring or generally just arent in his best interest anymore. also hes a twink, important personality trait!! i think i could imagine a really good power dynamic between these two and that is big eye emoji.

and thats my powerpoint presentation on why char and dito should fuckthread thank you for coming

[personal profile] grudged 2020-04-12 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm actually quite familiar with D3! It's, uh, a special kind of game... but definitely a guilty pleasure of mine. (I'm also Team Mikhail for life, he is the cutest.)

Did you have any ideas for tossing these two together? Ordinarily I'm pretty good at AUing into other settings but I'm kind of scratching my head here. I also haven't eaten breakfast so maybe I just need inspiration...
gutsgalore: (Default)

[personal profile] gutsgalore 2020-04-12 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
(sheds a tear) always good to find more drakengard 3 fans.... dito is actually one of my comfiest characters to write which is both a blessing and a curse

HMM WELL, yeah finding an AU might be kinda difficult for these two hahah but it doesnt have too be anything too descript so if ur down i can just whip up a lame starter and we can wing it?? :0

[personal profile] grudged 2020-04-12 06:12 pm (UTC)(link)
ATTENTION WORLD, I ATE BREAKFAST, WE GOOD NOW

Why don't you pick out a meme to play on? We can see if the characters click, and then we can drag it into my box later. Might be a good warm-up and might spark some other ideas.

hello, would you like to try ....these two?

[personal profile] grudged 2020-04-12 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Hello, friend! I see you are a GENDUM but I'm canonblind to IBO (getting around to watching it soon). What did you have in mind?
automatized: [ awkward ] (Default)

[personal profile] automatized 2020-04-12 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
oh! i’ll give you a short rundown, just to get you acquainted with him! stop me if you’ve heard this story before:

so, this guy here, he used to have a childhood friend he looked up to. maybe would’ve given his life for, who knows; at one point, he really believed in him. problem is, his childhood friend starting getting weird ideas into his head along the lines of ‘revolution’ and ‘reforming the corrupt society we live in using brute force’, and so on. he had a real hard time after that especially since his buddy went and got a gundam with a better frame and started moving things and people around like pieces on a board. long story short, he’s really mad at his friend (friend?).

i’m mostly voice-testing because i just did a rewatch of IBO, i’m looking for something quick n snazzy like memes and such esp since i haven’t .... rped .... in so long .......... i love IBO. ... it’s on netflix ... pwease

[personal profile] grudged 2020-04-12 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Memes were going to be my first suggestion, actually! I'm always open for PSLs but I think you'd be more comfortable starting off on something low key and then we can take it from there if you want a more extensive thread. And if you don't, that's 100% totally cool, I know people and/or characters don't always click for whatever reason.

Texting memes are generally best suited for "quick fix" type stuff, so here's one for you that's recent. Feel free to hail me over if you want to put up a top level. That's super useful info, I'm working through my Netflix que right now

ah, i am there! here is his top level: https://bakerstreet.dreamwidth.org/6348880.html?thread=2781778256#cmt2781778256

8Ua how do you want this set up? where’d they get to know each other? school ... some battle or another ...? or do you wanna kind of just wing it?

[personal profile] grudged 2020-04-12 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you! I will get to that in a moment.

I think the important question to ask (and this would guide any future threads as well) is what kind of dynamic you want them to have. Friends? Comrades? Rivals? Outright enemies? Do you want to ship? Do you want them to hate each other? Do you want to ship AND do you want them to hate each other? Are they gonna bang? Settings are pretty easy, to be honest, but deciding where they start and where you want them to go is more important IMO.

[personal profile] automatized 2020-04-12 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
hmmm that’s a good question 8Ua he’s been used all his life, but there are some aspects of being ‘used’ he’s comfortable with. i’m ok with: char knowing who he actually is (but he’s only going to answer to ‘vidar’), having a lot of tension in between because char would remind him of his buddy, but for both of them to have cordial relations .... i think vidar would likely want to learn from him, good and bad, if only because he thinks there’s value in understanding someone like him. I CAN’T DO YAOI YET but they can have like. idk conflicted emotions~. does that make sense :o

[personal profile] grudged 2020-04-12 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I would probably suggest Char be in charge of "Vidar" and have him in his employ (which means we're working in MSG's setting). He's very much a tease so I think it would be reasonable to assume that he could wear the other man down eventually and they'd have some good feelsy chats in between. Best Pal can also be included in MSG's setting however you want, since you know the canon best.

And no worries, anything shippy can be done at your pace. Smut is by no means a requirement either. c:

[personal profile] automatized 2020-04-12 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
that all sounds very good!!! :) how would char like to be addressed ... he’s quite polite

vidar is quite strong, so .... char at least can make use of his strength, but what he wants is revenge. if he’s getting stronger under his employ that gets him closer to his goals, so it’s a win-win.

[personal profile] grudged 2020-04-12 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Char holds the formal rank of Captain for most of his career, but he's also been addressed as commander, ~The Red Comet~, and simply Char. He's a very informal person in his youth and doesn't really expect his men to click boots and salute every time he passes, though he does expect obedience. This changes in CCA era where he's MAXIMUM CRAZY but we'll stick with an earlier canon point here.

Char is also revengesexual, so he's 100% on board grooming his protege to get some. And by get some I mean kill everybody, oops.

[personal profile] automatized 2020-04-12 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
ah, ok. maybe char, when it’s just them, and then when in public, vidar will just go with whatever seems best.

i adore this! thank you. i think i’m ok my end. do you need anything from me? 8Ua

[personal profile] grudged 2020-04-12 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope, we're good! And here you are, it's Char being a fucking embarrassment as always. Oh well.
