February 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.
aggravation: (⚔04)

assault lily, revue starlight, tai chi movies, jouou rinbu; up for crosscanon!

[personal profile] aggravation 2021-02-27 04:41 pm (UTC)(link)
offering
Funada Kiito | Assault Lily
The insufferable sort of warrior genius with several chips on her shoulder. Devoted to her twin. Has good intentions but poor ways of showing them. Is in fact an immature dork.
Aizawa Kazuha | Assault Lily
An idealist trying to live up to her saviour's heroism in a world too harsh for ideals. Very earnest. Simultaneously married to 4 people at the ripe old age of 15.
Saijou Claudine | Revue Starlight
Theatre kid. Driven by ambition and dedication to someday defeat her rival. Hot-blooded, bit of a musclehead, has a heart (and brain) that is bigger than she lets on.
Chen Zaiyang | Stephen Fung's Tai Chi 0/Tai Chi Hero
Wayward son. Inventor. Geek who was raised in a martial household and loathed the expectations placed on him for it. Has daddy issues, but adores his siblings and wife.
"Spring-heeled" Jack | ILLUMINUS' Jouou series (Jouou Rinbu)
A magician. A storyteller. A parent. A sinner. Not Jack the Ripper, but is perhaps something worse.

looking for
‣ I'm always open to any and all canonmates (Hronesness and Hervarar for Kiito and Kazuha especially), but I'd gladly be up for crosscanon threads if the characters/canons mesh.
‣ Shipping and gen threads are both cool! I have a few ideas for interactions with each of these characters, though there is no need to be constrained to any of these if you'd like to try something else:
Kiito comes off as argumentative or aggressive easily. People to butt heads with, call her out when she's made a bad move, or to calm her down before she goes ballistic, I especially welcome here.
Kazuha is that enthusiastically serious little kid who thinks you're awesome. You fight good? Wow, she could learn a thing or two from you. You can cook? Wow, this dish sure is delicious. (She handpicked one member of her team because she made really great tea.) Somebody to tell her to loosen up will do her some good, though somebody to enable her/be enabled by her into harebrained shenanigans could be fun.
Claudine goes best with other performer characters -- singers, actors, dancers, etc -- and people interested in the goings-on of stage production. Also, the idiot protagonist sort. Which brings me to this! I really enjoyed her interactions with Tachibana Hibiki from Symphogear during the official crossover, so if you play Hibiki, please, let's do something.
Zaiyang would be amazed by modern technology, being a tinkerer from the end-Qing dynasty. Sciency and inventor types will get along better with him, but even something that seems normal to a regular modern-day person (smartphones with colour screens!) is impressive to him and he'd bug your character to tell him all about these wonderful gadgets.
Jack is probably (please prove me wrong) unlikely to ever come across any canonmates in dwrpland, so encounters with other monsters and/or self-perceived monsters -- either rescuing a character threatened by one, or finding common ground with one -- is where I'll go with him/her/them/it.
‣ I also have a particular soft spot for AUs that incorporate Kuro's in-universe roles. Please give me Dracula and Erisa being a goofy married couple. Greek god shenanigans with Zeus. Tsukuyomi meeting gods and goddesses of other pantheons (or werewolves, or...?) would be funny. Or even that Dracula/Tamamo-no-Mae ship which was so popular back in the day, I want that too.

anything else?
‣ I am in a timezone which doesn't coincide with most rpers (GMT+8), but I try to get to tags in a timely enough fashion that we won't both lose steam. I don't have any expectations that a tag partner must get back immediately!! to me and I don't mind receiving a prod or two if I'm taking too long.
‣ I play Last Bullet and Starira JP. I've seen Rondo Rondo Rondo. I will avoid spoilers on request, just let me know in advance.
‣ Prose and brackets are both fine! I will match the preference of whoever I am threading with.
