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.

I keep seeing you around whenever I venture over to bakerstreet and I keep meaning to tag you because I love Misty so much, but then I chicken out every time because I have no idea which of my (entirely too many) characters I should throw at her. So maybe if I throw you my muselist, you could let me know if any of them are of any particular interest to you...and if so, then we can try something on a meme or one of our open posts or something? Because now seeing this breakdown, I think a lot of our interests go pretty well in line and I'd love to see if our writing styles mesh, too, if you're down. Don't mind the headings on the muselist; almost all of those characters can be dusted off if someone wants to play against them, they're just listed inactive because they're never loud enough for me to proactively go out looking for psls for them.

Absolutely down for testing waters, always! Not going in any particular order, just spitballing down the list -- I'm sure there must be at least two or three ocs that would also be interesting to bounce off of, but I wouldn't want to say without reading about them and I'd rather not leave you hanging another day so I could comb through all that:

Eddie: I'm not intimately canon-familiar but horror muses gotta support horror muses, and their dispositions are wildly different enough they could potentially be fun in the right au/jamjar scenario.

Number Five: This might sound like an out-there pick but I love getting to try her against the UA crowd, and I've always hoped to see if anything could come of Five specifically. Their manners are a hilariously far cry apart, but there's a 'pragmatic survivalist with isolation issues and (more buried in some than others) Care' thread they share, and similarity/contrast balance makes for really great character beats. Abrasiveness won't ward her off so easily. Come kill the antichrist, Five, that's a cool achievement? Or...virtually any au, there's more potential for Coven/Academy stuff than it must sound at a glance.

Daisy: Hyped to see her being written in general honestly!! Anything and everything! Reaping chats! I had a Dead Like Me/Reaperverse in my back pocket for ages and never got to do anything with it, coworker shenanigans would be day making. Let sad blondes talk about death.

Hermione: Obligatory HPverse, who can turn down a Hermione in any context really.

Carrie: I've also always wanted to write Misty with a Carrie, oh my god. Commiseration over zealotry and how awful people can be, and Misty trying to be a good influence here. Give her the fire teen, she wants to Help.

Tate, Hayden: Obvious reasons are obvious! I love interseason stuff, in any form. A post-canon, meandering Misty happening upon the house, Misty having been around either of the two while alive, bringing either of them into Coven, complete reversal where they're doing whatever and she's haunting Miss Robichaux's, so on, so forth. I can't say it wouldn't be Tense, hah, but it'd definitely be interesting.

Pietro, Peter: Marvel's a fun canon to wedge her into; mutant Misty floating around is a good fallback, but even mundane bystander stuff can work well for me. I don't have specific ideas quite yet but they're both fun and I'm definitely interested. (Although in Pietro's case, hey, she can't help but notice there's a case of the Being Dead here, and she has good news.)

Chris, Giselle, Alex: Team "I got nothing off the top of my head but I'm REAL into it", they're fantastic

Okay awesome! So, okay:

Eddie's a new muse and I'm still voicetesting, but since you're not super canon-familiar, it might not make me all self-conscious about my characterization while I stretch his legs a little. Plus, good Lord, he could use some sort of relationship with a person who lives on the other end of the spectrum as he does who wouldn't be too busy teasing him to maybe help him grow a little as a person.

Number Five would be a really interesting person to play off of her so long as you're equally as cool with the brusque attitude as Misty would be haha. Honestly, though, if we were going to do this pair, I would actually be a little more interested to see an AU wherein she's one of the 43, maybe... Thoughts?

Oh my Gooooood, I love that you know who Daisy even is! I never get to play her anymore, I swear!

Aww, I know Hermione is pretty versatile and, honestly, it could be interesting for her to see how her Hogwarts education varies from something like Robichaux...hmmmm...

STOP IT, I LOVE THIS IDEA! Carrie doesn't have a positive female role model and I would love, love, love to do something more on the long-term or carry cr over several memes sort of thing wherein she can learn to trust someone again after everything, especially in an AU where she lives and just bails from Maine to keep from having to face the consequences of the night of the Black Prom.

Hayden's kind of a jerk so that would be kind of a negative cr sort of thing, but I'm down if you are. As for Tate, he might or might not have a soft spot for Misty's face, so that could definitely be interesting... I haven't played him in a while so I couldn't promise perfection (or probably anything close to it), but he's one of those ones I'd love to have a reason to dust off, so there''s that.

As for MCU, I'd definitely lean more toward Pietro because there's so much more room for cr development there, between the Being Dead problem he's got going for him and the shameless flirt that he is. He's one of my lesser-played muses, but he's also one of my more sociable ones.

lol Chris is hilarious; it might be kind of cool to see him meeting someone with a positive attitude who doesn't have quite the same positive overall outlook on life because he's probably never seen that. Usually, there's people like him and Leslie (dialed up to 11) and then there's everyone else. Misty has kind of a foot in both doors. I haven't played Giselle in an age, but she could be fun to dust off. I adore her innocence and it could probably be a fun thing to play against Misty's personality. Alex is just fun in general - I've actually played him against a Misty in the past in a jamjar and they hit it off platonically pretty much immediately, so I'd be super down if we wanted to concoct a jamjar sort of au scenario for them.

All of that to say, I'm pretty down with almost all of these options. So then the next question is do you want to link me to some of Misty's top levels and I'll just see who might be a fit for those specific things and see where it goes or do you want to poke around my open posts and start tossing her at people to see what sticks? Also, what are your shipping preferences for her? Is she an ota or do you have a m/f or f/f preference?

I'm gonna spare you another round of word vomit and just say pretty much everything you're suggesting is 100% good! (Particularly 43au!) As shipping goes she's very much ota, I wish I could outline a type but she throws me nothing but curveballs, I've never managed to boil it down to a template. Picking a couple things to start on memes/opens to see how things mesh sounds the ideal way to go, let me dig...

Nursed Back To Health, Stuck...Somewhere, Rain, Jamjar, Random Scenarios, hmmm...I can probably dig for more if that wouldn't suffice? Bakerstreet being Bakerstreet there's a lot more romance than not - I've definitely got standard soulmate/arranged marriage/fake date/etc tls around - I was just aiming for malleable prompts. And at any rate I'm down to just throw her at open posts as needed.

Okay, I'm kind of at a loss for how to set up the 43 AU even though it's one of my faves, too, so how about if you get an idea for that, hit up Number Five's open post with something. In the meantime, I got a couple of ideas I'm going to throw at one or two of those memes.
