April 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.

yo that's perfectly fine, I get that, that's a Mood

And yeah! That's one of the reasons I've been tossing Kasumi out everywhere because I'm like, oh shit, I might want to really get more practice in with her before I get her in. (I mean, I feel confident with her, but app writing is A Thing no matter how confident you are with a character, it feels hard but then you look back and say 'well, that wasn't so bad' but then the next app comes and it's a cycle)

Oh man, you should definitely look into Danganronpa if you ever get a chance, cause a lot of the dark tones feel similar to how dark Persona gets (though DR is absolutely darker, if only due to its very nature. at least the blood is a different color dsfklj) but I'd be happy to throw any of the characters at Ryuji because I think a few of them at least would be a fun dynamic with him. considering a lot of my muses are either soft-spoken or are more like Kasumi here

Cool beans! I might toss a private plurk your way in a bit, once I get some rl stuff done. That's definitely the easiest way to communicate these days lol

yeah i'm still adjusting to the public rp scene since it really is just a...whole process...fundamentally it's not like anything is drastically different from the lj days (or probably anywhere else online but i haven't Gone There in even longer), but there's a world of difference between hashing out au #30 with your platonic lifemate and...hitting up that meme that's caught your eye or hoping something sticks when you toss it out at strangers. it's beyond my comfort zone! kinda didn't want to do it! but here we are

i might! i know a couple friends (acquaintances?) still into it, but i've always been on the fence - i'm an old hand weeb so it's not often that a show or game can really get its hooks into me anymore. current events aren't helping any when i've been off work for about two months now and every day's finally starting to just blur together. i read 100+ chapters to catch on beastars and all but then after that it was hard to...pick up anything...if i weren't already familiar with p5 i probably wouldn't have blazed through it in ~two weeks or however long it was.

haha yeah right away after lurking i realized i should probably try to bring that up since my twt or any other potential form of contact would just be a hot mess. i'm surprised people still use it but i'm glad to see it's there!

Oh yeah, I def get that. It's not easy, and I still feel that way even though I'm in a small part of the public rp. Meeting new people is hard, and talking to them is anxiety-inducing, but shared interests help a lot, even though it doesn't erase the nervousness. Still, we'd be glad to have you at Prisma. (Kasumi will be like, my third character there fkdls)

I'm the opposite, it seems that I can't ever escape from something new reeling me in half the time. But I still have my specific canons that I'm attached to, and P5/R is definitely in that now. And ouch, I'm sorry to hear you've been one of the worse affected, friend. :c But hey, DR is one of those canons that you can kind of experience through osmosis and a very light synopsis of the games, if you ever feel the urge to take a look but don't really want to jump in headfirst (or feel the hooks sinking in but aren't sure it really is something you're into).

Yeah! Plurk is pretty popular still, even with Discord being a common option - I only prefer plurk because I don't feel like I'm drowning when I go away for 2 hours and come back to 50+ new replies in ten channels on one discord server kfdjsl

It looks like you've disabled private plurks for non-friends, so if it's okay I'mma send a friend request your way. My plurk is [plurk.com profile] weaponget just so you know it's me.

yeah i'd love to stay there for the long haul, motivation willing—i don't have a ton of other characters that could fit in right now but i could see myself digging through some other old things i used to be into (one punch man, or even...BNA that i started and forgot about a while back) if i wanted to pick up another character eventually? the setting and the optional 18+ definitely tick as most of my interests though!

unemployment will keep me afloat for now - we've reopened but it's actually limited so i have no eta on when my part-time department store drudgery will resume! here's hoping though... but i'll keep an eye on it! who knows what'll strike me next, or maybe it'll just keep being all persona all the time, since i'd like to finally get 1 and 2 out of my backlog one of these days, or just replay fes for the...fourth time...

it's an copout of an excuse but i'm too old for discord haha, i still don't really understand it despite sitting in on it for world of warcraft raids a while back. i'm down to clown with it if i need to but it's not my first choice, i guess. watch me change my mind so i can chill w/everyone though

ope i forgot to switch that back! be my friend anyway i'm harmless. i like cats and thinkin bout characters kiss ryuji and not much else right this second lmao.
