September 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.

Dragon Age, the Dark Tower

[personal profile] inachinashop 2020-09-27 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
overall preferences:
While I’m open to playing out sex scenes, I do not want anything that’s solely or even mostly about sex. I just get bored. I’d rather do plotty stuff. Crosscanon characters or canon characters I don’t mention are also welcome if you have specific ideas about what you’d like to see them do. (I don’t usually do well in longterm threads that don’t have a plot, so knowing roughly where the whole thing is going is important for me.)

Also, my length can vary a lot. Sometimes my brain just doesn’t work well enough to let me do a lot of narration, but I always try to give the other person something to respond to regardless of how short the reply might be. (If I don’t, feel free to contact me and we can talk about what to have happen instead.) That’s one reason I prefer threads with plot - that way when I can’t think well enough to reply as well as I’d like to I can figure out what needs to happen to push the plot along and work from there. Open ooc communication helps with this, because sometimes plot needs to be figured out or changed if we need more for our characters to do.

Dragon Age | the Iron Bull ([personal profile] inachinashop)

character notes:
I’d love something with Dorian, Krem, Vivienne, Josephine, Solas, or Sera. With Dorian I tend to ship automatically (but let me know if you’d prefer gen), and I tend to go gen with most other characters, although with Bull being the way he is the line between friends/flirty friends/friends with benefits can get a little muddled. I have some ideas here, but if you have anything else specific that you want to do, let me know! I love brainstorming stuff.

The Dark Tower | Roland Deschain ([personal profile] ka_sera_sera)

character notes:
I’m very tentatively coming back to Roland after a few years of being burnt out on playing him, so I’m leaning toward asking mostly for people he had intense relationships with - Cuthbert, Eddie, Susan (especially if anyone’s willing to explore what Roland and Susan’s dynamic might be if they met again as adults). But if someone playing any other character has a specific idea for a plot let me know. I don’t have a plotting page for Roland like I do for Bull but I love h/c, I like AUing Roland, and it would be interesting to play with the difference between the flat, practical way Roland tends to express himself, the impression that gives to the people around him, and the deep pool of emotion and poetic notions that can be going on inside him, so hopefully some of that gives us a place to start when it comes to plotting stuff out.

it's been awhile since I've played Dorian, but I could easily do a scene refresher and get him out again! i'd be interested in long-distance relationship things, but i'm also game for most other ideas you had as well.

[personal profile] inachinashop 2020-09-30 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I would love that! If we did something else before getting to the long distance stuff, to work out their dynamic, is there anything you're particularly drawn toward? We could go with the beginning of their relationship, or Bull helping Dorian with something if there's some issue of Dorian's you'd like to play with, or one of the ideas I had for after Bull leaves the Qun? Or something else?

[personal profile] altused 2020-09-30 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd love that actually! I'm really interested in playing with Bull's loss of control and how that might play into Dorian and him beginning to form a relationship in the aftermath of losing the Qun.

Ooh yes excellent. I like the idea of that being what brings them together. I'll pm you so we can work out the details?
