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.

well hello again i swear i'm not stalking you but i'll be honest, ever since i tagged you in a denny's i've been thinking there's some real chemistry available between jade and levi. i'm pretty much down for anything if you'd put up with me??

i tend to enjoy pretty out there and wild AUs if that's your jam and am pretty flexible as far as rp styles/speed/whatever the hell goes. i'm sure we could figure something out after a little bit of plotting...

i'm reachable at [plurk.com profile] dzintars or bludhavens#3208 if either of those work, or if not a pm here is great too.

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!

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.

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
