June 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.

[character offered]:
Chikai Kuji | Sarazanmai
Kazumi Onimaru | Cardfight!! Vanguard G

[preferences]:
  • Backtag friendly
  • Flexible on size and pace, as long as the AC is simple
  • Mix of slice-of-life and plot would be ideal
  • No murdergames, forced sex, or AUs. Memory-loss is case-by-case.
  • Horror and sex-friendly games are fine!
  • For Chikai specifically: no games with a character age limit over 14. Castmates aren't necessary, but I'd at least like the possibility open. I’d also really like to play him somewhere dead characters can be apped.
  • Also open to memes/PSLs!

SOMEONE ELSE WHO PLAYS FROM VANGUARD G WHAT???

Anyway HI I play G-canonpoint Ren at [community profile] prismatica, which falls into most of your wants - in my experience it's extremely backtag-friendly and the AC is literally 3 log or 5 network comments (and even if you want to do AC rewards, it's a certain number of AC-length threads rather than a points system or something). It's sex-friendly but entirely possible to not play sex, and while it's easy to play SOL the events (and TDMs, which people generally use for open logs too) often have recurring themes/plot points and stuff if you're into that!

I'd be up for PSL/meme stuff too since I've got a handful of other G characters on my muselist (Aichi, Kai and Rin, though I can't say I haven't at least considered picking up Kazuma before).

Oh wow a Ren, hi!! Looked it over a little, and Prismatica does seem pretty cool and up my alley. I'll admit all the setting details are a little intimidating lmao, but it seems like apps won't be open for a while anyway, so should be plenty of time to read up! o9

And yeah, I'd love doing some threads elsewhere in the meantime! Usually I hang around Bakerstreet and FortAnon for prompts, though Kazumi's still pretty new so I haven't gotten him out much just yet. (And if you did want to give Kazuma a try, that would be rad, but no pressure! I'd be happy to bounce Kazumi off anyone~)

It does have A Lot of information but in practice it's the kind of thing you only really need to read over once since a lot of it is general setting type stuff, so hopefully that alleviates a little of the intimidation factor!

I float around BS and Fortanon reasonably often but I usually reply rather than TL myself, so I can definitely keep an eye out there if you do TLs or we can figure something else out! I also completely forgot I have Ibuki on my muselist as well, so we can always reunite the white-haired dudes club as another character bouncing option.
