May 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.

OCs, D&D, voicetesting 90s nostalgia (the crow + sailor moon)

on offer.
benedict dearborn[personal profile] fumitory — original character — assistant professor in london with a background in religious studies, fussy and nit picky, informative and diligent, but spends his off hours delving into the supernatural, working with magical folk of all varieties, and, on the occasion, uses his practiced study in exorcisms and study in demonology. he also comes with a weird angel sidekick.
looking for despite being canon blind, he meshes really well with magnus archives, magicians, and black tapes characters, and i'm always open to playing with characters from these or like these media pieces. (also american horror story! i'm more canon familiar there.) overall, canon or ocs, i'm open to normies more like Ben, or supernatural types, even demons. always look for conflict + resolution, hurt/comfort, survival, and action/danger for him. also AUs. always want to try a cute Hogwarts AU for him.

ambrose sinclair[personal profile] immortalized — original character — vampire turned in the early victorian era, locked away in a coffin interred for nearly two centuries, who emerges finally and suddenly into modern day; a talent in the theatre scene with aspirations for the opera looking to recapture this dream in modern day while reconciling the hurdles surrounding his changed state.
looking for canon or original cryptids to ease his internal dilemmas in this version of afterlife, humans for him to grow fond of, immortals to look up to. Ambrose is so easy to slap into other universes, so i'm not afraid of having to. knitting complex cr, hurt/comfort, sentimental things, artistic growth and expression, and horror elements would be great. he's also dipping into drag artistry, so, that can also be involved or addressed somewhere.

valryn melana[personal profile] curseborn — original character (dungeons & dragons) — a drow warlock of noble birth, off-set by the classic social systems in place, does some very smart things before emancipating himself (read: evacuates) from the Underdark to establish himself as a force of finance and politics on the surface world. (he's...basically a drow mob boss.)
looking for other d&ds or fantasy characters, canon or oc, but i also have become more comfortable playing him in a modern world/urban fantasy setting than anything else. cat and mouse games, bodyguards, rivalries, arranged marriage plots, and action/adventure with humans or otherwise, canon or original. same as with certain podcasts, i'm also blind to critical role and adventure zone, but that speaks nothing for interest. if they'll mesh (and especially if they don't) i'm in.


testing.
eric draven[personal profile] vigilanti — the crow
looking for kind of whatever! i enjoy him having conversations with other characters, which sounds bland, but nothing is bland with Eric given the existential source material. as he's newer, i'm open to ideas if he's a character you want to tango with.

tenou haruka / sailor uranus[personal profile] aetherium — bishoujo senshi sailor moon
looking for castmates and cross canon, i'm actually less interested in playing with Michiru but not opposed, i'd mainly love to play with inner senshi, especially Usagi! cute daily life things or action scenes and emotional dilemmas, obviously if you know how the canon goes, i'm eager to emulate those moments and topics in a thread. however, always open to cross canon, even with LA characters. i'm in need of a canon review though, so i'd love to be able to go easy with some voice testing at first while i watch! you'll see her on gen texts tomorrow.


for any interested parties, i'm always open to LA, drawn/animated, canon, and/or original characters. comment or PM any of the journals to get in touch with me!

please can we do a thing with ben and alice. Life got in our way and we never were able to have her be his TA. I'm super flexible and am just. Missing them a lot. The way they approach faith vs skepticism, family, the supernatural... /reaches for (with, of course, zero pressure!)
