December 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.

Always happy to lend a hand 👋

Obviously there's the whole issue of *gestures vaguely* book 2 Palamedes but perhaps there's room for a scenario where the other Lyctors find out Cytherea's game before the aspirants do? Some unexplained necromantic phenomenon where Mercy gets dragged into his pocket dimension after her last encounter with the King Undying? Palamedes is trapped in a pocket dimension with only one shitty romance novel and some means of texting his awful canonmates? Anyway I am here for it.

Hey! I've never seen anyone offer a BB-8 before.
I play Poe over at The Revival Project. I think we'd fit a lot of your preferences if you wanted to give our Test Drive a go?

We are a small but close knit game, and along with myself their are plenty of other Star Wars characters. We're a bunch of heroes pulled from different worlds/times, told we are there to help the Agrii. It's mostly slice of life in this strange new world, with occasion plot missions.

I've been NPCing BB, but if you were interested I'd be happy to have someone playing him.

Sorry for the delay! Work wiped me out pretty thoroughly.

The html got a little wonky, but it looks like you meant Aefenglom? Thank you for the recommendation! It looks really interesting and it's definitely on my consideration list, but it looks like it's nearing its character cap and there are about the same number of apps in the queue as slots. I'll keep an eye on it to see when there's space as I think it over.
beariot: (memories of days gone by)

[personal profile] beariot 2020-12-29 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
my html sure did heck up there oop

that being said, slots tend to open up at the tail end of every month as AC sweeps come in, and this AC cycle (even if it's just a check in) isn't done yet. so there's that, at least!

Hello again to you too!! Honestly I feel you there, that denny's experience sure was A Thing--and I do plan on getting back to that thread soon btw, if you'd still be down for continuing that!--but I agree these two are a pair that could go a lot of directions lmao. The beginnings of a beautiful friendship...sort of....maybe?? Cancelling out each other's awfulness has to count for something right...

Anyway, I'm certainly up for taking a wild AU or two for a spin if you are! Is there a particular setting/scenario you've got in mind off the top of your head? I'm happy to plot something out either way for sure; we can discuss here, or if you're cool with taking it to PMs that's fine too! I'll admit that up until a few months ago I was on a pretty long dwrp hiatus, so I currently have neither a plurk nor a discord atm haha. Thanks in advance for bearing with me through these slower ooc venues in the meantime!

Sounds good! I'll definitely start out shaky, but immortals that have loved/hated each other for centuries while making long series of bad life choices are totally my jam, so I'm highly motivated to get it right.

[personal profile] instinctively 2020-12-29 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
Oh cool, I'll keep that in mind! It seems like it'd be an interesting game for either Artemis or Flayn, so I'll have to think on which I'd rather give it a go with if there's enough space after all.

Just imagine: Love Amongst the Bones: A Novel, by Palamedes Sextus and Mercymorn the First.

[personal profile] mercymorn 2020-12-29 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
gasp

so book 1 fix-it AU would be the juiciest for a long-term thing, but also her getting dragged into the pocket dimension could be a really fun one-off scene to tinker around with, and I'm already imagining how that might go -- I could go ahead and toss you a starter for her, ahem, arrival? (I'm still voice-testing since I just finished the book exactly two weeks ago but man I wanna write all the things)
mercymorn: (Default)

[personal profile] mercymorn 2020-12-29 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
I'm also still voice-testing like crazy, so we can be super shaky together! NONE OF US CAN BE MUIR but goshdarnit we can at least attempt pale imitations :')

dude no worries at all man. i'm kinda in the same boat... i totally just came back to DWRP like a month ago? after having gone on a hiatus for about two years. i'm kind of diving back into it headfirst and decided to join a game for the first time since the 2011 lj -> dw exodus so there's that.

luckily i already had the plurk and discord and i just had to dust them off, but comments and pms are just fine and dandy too.

i'm absolutely golden with a snail race and it'd be great to continue denny's with these two!! as far as au's i'm kind of braindead at the moment but i'll let you know if anything comes to mind. let me know if you think of anything yourself. i'm pretty easy to get along with and can plot up a storm when my gears get going but sometimes i need a nudge in the right direction.

nothing spells steamy romance novel like a collaboration between the sixth and the eighth!!

On the bright side, at least Mercy's actually had sex.

Look, if immortality's starting to wear on you, at least writing bad porn erotica with a Sixth House turbo-nerd would be a novel experience.

I'm definitely still in the voice testing phase too (and I may have to switch the pb at some point if I get desperate for more icons) but I am definitely down for that.

Is that really a bright side?

Hiatus-return brofist tbh...! I think I was out for a couple years myself? Long enough to miss the transition to paids having 150 icons instead of 100 anyway lmao, and the other big code pushes besides that. I've been memeing around since about October I think; I'm glad you've been able to hop into a game on your end! Maybe I'll be game-shopping too someday, once rl ever chills out...gazes into the distance...but yeah in the meantime it's a meme and psl life for me. I might get around to finally making a plurk or discord or something eventually, and I'll be sure to let you know when that time comes around!

Also no worries on the ideas front lol, in this snail race there's definitely no rush! c: I'm heading to bed about now myself anyhow so my brain's not much better for anything atm haha, but I'll be giving possible AU ideas some thought going forward as well! Maybe some meme out there will inspire us at some point, who knows...but in the meantime I'm glad you're down for continuing their discourse about the pros and cons of poisoning Denny's coffee! Truly this has been the best introductory conversation I could ask for between these two, bless

I don't have anything specific in mind but I could come up with something.

Maybe something where they get stuck traveling different dimensions Sliders style and keep trying to get home? And have to support each other through it.

Or idk Silent Hill au? lol.

But not anything necessarily grimdark unless you're interested. Even with plotty stuff I like lighthearted, and I like stuff about family.

ahh hello there! this sounds perfect, h/c like this is some of my fav stuff to play?? i can shoot you a PM in a minute so we can hash out more of the details, but i'm definitely interested!!

I don’t mind a silent hill AU or things that are light hearted! I’m usually someone who goes with the flow of whatever.

For the family stuff, I guess the parents got into a fight or how they’re getting a divorce? I’m not too sure either!

offering——
hugo lamb — the bone clocks
booker dewitt — bioshock: infinite
peter parker — marvel comics


preferences——
✓ DW only
✓ plot-focused — horror, sci-fi, survival, mystery, it's all good as long as it's not SOL
✓ backtagging friendly
✓ simple AC

— sex-friendly games considered, not interested in games where the main conceit in sex
— au + mem-loss considered, but would depend on the overall focus/plot of the game

✗ games with a smut ac
✗ transformation games are a harder sell, but if they hit the other points I'll take a look!
✗ historical/fantasy


also open to psls!
