enablemeplz | August 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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

offering: Ysayle Dangoulain/Lady Iceheart | Final Fantasy XIV

prefs:
- crosscanon CR. Getting to bounce characters from different canons against each other is great even if I'm not familiar with the other character's canon. Crosscanon CR/ships is practically my lifeblood at this point.
- AU. Concepts we can have multiple threads of, create an overarching story with, and hopefully be entertained by for a long time to come. Open to one-offs too, but def prefer long-term PSL stuff.

- ships: 18+, f/f and m/f.
- shippy scenarios: soulmates, xeno/interspecies, reincarnation & regaining memories, immortal&mortal romance, dragons (and dragon fucking), friends to lovers, exes reconnecting, abo dynamics, bdsm lifestyle&femdom
- gen scenarios: reincarnation & regaining memories, forgotten childhood friends that meet years later, noir/detectives, supernatural creature hunters, adventuring/roadtripping, partners in crime, urban fantasy, high fantasy (like ffxiv, but not the setting itself), enemies to friends, strangers forced to work together and eventually become best friends, found family, modern au

- other FFXIVs are okay but I'm more into satisfying my want for crosscanon-- but i will not say no to alphy, alisaie, estinien or aymeric
- fully original OCs are okay

others:
- I'm in the GMT+8 timezone, as I live in Southeast Asia.
- def open to OOC communication whenever we're stuck in a rut or want to discuss a next thread. just ask if you want my disc or plurk, but disc might be better bc i keep forgetting to open plurk
- i'm still working on her icons i'm gomen
- if this looks familiar, it's bc i'm the same player as sidurgu's up there o7 ~~sorry i just got the intense burning desire for ysayle way after i posted sid's~~

Is there any particular sort of character dynamic you're looking for with Ysayle, whether in shippy or gen scenarios? I'd love to bounce someone off of her, and AU is my lifeblood, but I'm trying to consider various characters that might work against Ysayle and I figured I'd ask if you had a preference.

Off the top of my head, my characters would be pretty easy to AU into the any of the following scenarios, if they hold any appeal:
1. X is a dragon terrorizing some random location; Ysayle is tasked with either negotiating with them or forcibly bringing them down -- or maybe she's being offered to them as a ritual sacrifice?
2. fellow captive situation where X and Ysayle end up captured somewhere and have to work together to get out
3. X and Ysayle are bounty hunters/adventurers working together on a job, but each of them has their own motives for signing up for it that they conceal from the other

2 and 3 can also come with a slice of dragon transformation and/or soulmates, if we like; both those tropes are something I enjoy. But for example, subbing in Ba'Gamnan here for X in the scenarios above, he's sort of a shitty, mean character that lends himself to a more antagonistic interaction (as well as being subsequently stepped on) as well as 'oh fuck, why YOU' if soulmate-ness is involved; on the other hand, he's a good POV to explore more inhuman perspective and is a better character for rough/animalistic sex and anatomical differences (my other characters are basically human). So let me know if you have a strong preference for what to play and I'll see if there's anyone who might work.

sorry for taking a while o/ my attention was being taken up by a lot of things lately.

i definitely dont shy away from antagonistic interaction if there's somewhere else we can steer their cr to eventually, but i think from what you've suggested 1 and 3 appeal to me to most (because 1 gives me nice dragonfucker vibes). i may also incorportate some reincarnation, since i'm real attached to the idea of ysayle learning what she used to do bit by bit over time-- and maybe changing into shiva at some point? maybe

It's 100% okay, I clearly fell off the horse myself. :') I was replaying a bit of FFXIV and some FFXII to refresh myself on some of Ba'Gamnan's voice, so I think I've got a good idea of where to go with this! Reincarnation would be dope, if you want to work that in.

How about let's roll with 1? I'm thinking some kind of high fantasy AU with story/world elements cribbed off of FFXIV as we see fit. Dragons are Known, but either vanishing/going extinct or otherwise having retreated from interactions with most of mortalkind. Ba'Gamnan, I think, would mostly be the dragon who's struck out on his own and bitter about the fate of his kind, so he's mostly lashing out. He's not very moved by noble intentions, but perhaps that's where Ysayle could (eventually) motivate a change of heart.

that definitely works for me! i think i could also work in a possible reasoning why ysayle would be captured and handed to him in the first place-- she could be feeling urges from her past life to seek out dragons. and then she could negotiate for her life, depending on how he acts towards her.

but also just ask if she can stick around, maybe.

that works for me! would he be the first dragon she's ever actually met? :|a maybe if we're running with the reincarnation stuff we can sort of run with that ffxiv dragon power of semi-picking up echoes of the blood that came before...

in any case, we can also hash out stuff (writing the starter, where we're threading) in more deets over discord/pm if you prefer, i'm pretty easy o/
