January 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.

Oh man, that username is brilliant. And Villainous is that boardgame, right? (Or... cardgame?) I've eyed it in the stores a few times, but I already have so many boardgames sitting in a cabinet untouched that it feels like such a waste to buy it. I may need to reconsider, though!

Jafar and Gaston could go either hilariously well or hilariously wrong, depending on whether they bond over their misogyny and how much they deem other people to be inferior, or whether they clash in the sense of 'smelly rude peasant versus classy dark sorcerer'. I'll definitely get a journal set up for Gaston either way, because it feels like the sort of thing that's overdue.

i don't know why i always feel like i need go find the combo on ideas, but what about both? they're actual professionals who pose as just people doing it for fun/their youtube channel and it's an excuse to either get closer to issues so they can handle them or steer people away ("this place definitely isn't at all haunted, nope!")?

i'm still working on getting this journal set up but i'd love to stretch my legs with mdzs wei wuxian!

[personal profile] ex_unclouded531 2021-02-03 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
i sure did! this is super exciting, i so didn't expect to get a response. i'm happy to chat on discord or via pm about whatever works for you

absolutely in awe of you managing to snag this username btw

[personal profile] ex_unclouded531 2021-02-03 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
awesome! do you have discord or anything where we can plot stuff out?
tuneless: (015)

sweet home (netflix) & cross-canon

[personal profile] tuneless 2021-02-03 07:21 pm (UTC)(link)
offering
yoon jisoo

seeking
castmates: after finishing sweet home, i'm really feeling canon divergences, fix-its, aus, and so on FKDJF i have a few ideas percolating, but i'm down for something more canon-compliant, too, if that's more you're speed! i lean a biiit toward keeping some element of adventure and action in our plots, but considering how heavy the series is, i wouldn't say no to slice-of-life. for ships, i'm interested in writing with jaeheon or eunyoo, but i'd be happy to explore something with other castmates!
cross-canon: encouraged! i'm more interested in fun dynamics than anything. it might be neat to toss her against characters from other survival or horror canons... 👀 of course, if you have someone that isn't from one, feel free to hit me up still!

notes
— memes, psls, museboxes - all fine!
— okay with backtagging! personally, i can boomerang texts and shorter replies, but longer tags can take me up to a week or so. i'll try to be communicative about anything beyond that.
— i prefer brackets over prose.
— negative cr, gen, and shipping are good with me! i'm open to smut after discussion or adequate progression in the thread.
— if you're interested, comment here or pm me! my discord and plurk are also available upon request.

/waves at. I have this xiv oc to offer if you don't mind me figuring her out as I go. She can be WoL or non-WoL depending on whatever we feel like doing for a thread. She's basically a lominsan native who became an adventurer post calamity and is using it to find a new purpose in life again. Mostly cool big sister energy with bonus insecurity and side of chaos-seeking.

I'm up to date to 5.4 so there's a lot we can poke at depending.

Cool, I'll send you a message, then!

And yesss, I am in awe of me too! It was one of those ones where I was like "Oh that would be so good, but someone else definitely already registered it..." except no, no one had yet.

[personal profile] overflower 2021-02-04 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
honestly you raise a very good point and this is so big brain. i'm down for this if you are! i can do a starter but before i do, i tend to default to brackets and i usually just toss it up in my musebox. is that okay or do you have different preferences or is there anything else we might need to go over?
flauntist: <user name="wuji"> (Default)

[personal profile] flauntist 2021-02-04 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
i'm totally flexible and can roll with pretty much anything, so that works for me! the only thing would be if you wanna jump to PMs or something to chat about backstory like how they got started and stuff like that? or we can just figure as we go!

HI SORRY FOR TAKING A COUPLE DAYS! honestly i want to do everything with these two haha but i do have a couple of ideas!!

i really like fix-its so either shuichi could figure out what kaede is up to before she actually goes through with it! and it's a really vague idea right now but a time loop where everything resets after the first trial is also something i'd like to play out (i'm really weak for time loops haha). but i'm also open to stuff with the talent development plan and any other aus!! is there anything you have in mind?
shyichi: (🔍 04)

[personal profile] shyichi 2021-02-04 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
Shhh, take all the time you need! But oh my God, OUCH... I love both ideas so much?! I didn't have anything concrete in mind, but I'm way too on board with either a pre-murder scenario or a time loop! I think Shuichi is sharp enough to piece things together under the right circumstances, so if he noticed any of the things she did that didn't add up (the camera's flash, the books, the vent, the shot put ball) he would definitely approach her about it. I think the only problem is that we'd need to decide on what would actually happen if the time limit ran out, but that shouldn't be too hard!

But like.... a time loop sounds like maximum angst and I'm majorly here for that. Ugh. I'm also super weak to time loops or reset button scenarios, so I'd love to work that out with you! Are you thinking of something where they keep their memories in full, or only have partial recollection?

tl;dr: I realize how unhelpful this is, but I'm down for either! Do you prefer one scenario over the other?

they are!! if you have any top levels in memes, i'd be happy to tag him.

that'd be great! are you keen on a platonic or shipping thread? happy with either. (:
elegize: (Default)

[personal profile] elegize 2021-02-04 09:12 am (UTC)(link)

It's totally fine! I kind of play fast and loose with canon for her in particular, honestly.

[personal profile] eques 2021-02-04 10:54 am (UTC)(link)
the faerghus four is my favourite group in the game and practically ship each other so i'm happy with either too. maybe we can start with them from post-canon stuff? and then build up from there.

Post-Matsuribayashi it is, then!

Did you have any specific ideas in mind - I was thinking that maybe it's been a year after the events of Matsuribayashi and she shows up on Watanagashi perhaps...?

Oh absolutely I love your idea, and I don't have really any of my own, so let's go with that!

hello!! SHE IS BEAUTIFUL (i love a roe lady aaaahhh) and i don't mind at all! honestly, i felt like with some interactions and playing out i was able to figure out my own oc out so don't worry! R'yoji's world setting has multiple wols, he's even friends with a few, so i'm perfectly alright with whatever you decide to do on being another wol or not. ♥

i love the cool big sister energy.. with the side of spice. she sounds so lovely!! if there's anything you want to explore specifically re: story, i'd be up for it! i'm also up to date. c:
watchfulbalance: (Default)

[personal profile] watchfulbalance 2021-02-04 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
roe lady appreciation u.u!!

And hmmm... an idea came to mind that might work with her being WoL. Before the Calamity, she's pretty much like every other drink-loving not-pirate in Limsa. Work hard, have fun, be merry. And post-calamity/WoL, she represses that a bit, wants to help others and does her best to behave/be on best behavior because the world needs that.

Maybe R'yoji walks in on her drinking several kegs (she does not get drunk easily) and she panics and tries to get him to Not Tell Anyone aaaa.

They could have seen/known each other in passing before that maybe. I figure ARR or post-main HW could work? I can also adjust based on R'yoji's backstory and see what works better. :3

Hey, I play Joey! If you're interested we can write some sort of psl together? I'm open to both gen stuff and shipping, if you have a preference one way or the other. I also play Steve if you want any survivor shenanigans! I'm EST and I try to tag at least once a day for lengthier tags, or faster for shorter ones/texts! Feel free to reply here or message me if you have any interest in playing these two out!

Hey! Yeah, I'm totally down for both Joey and Steve! I did enjoy our short WA thread, I just never got around to the TFLN one because I had tag motivation heavily sapped from me by stuff. I'm good now for something though! I'll shoot you a PM with my Discord?
