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.

it's just OCs all the way down

[personal profile] prospitian 2021-02-27 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
hello emp!! i have a terminal case of only wanting to play my OCs. i have here to offer:
► a witch who jamjarred herself into a school between universes and made herself a robot eye and familiar after her true name was stolen (this one even has an open post ready to go)
► a grumpy immortal homunculus learning to be a person after the mysterious murder of her "immortal" master, taking up his alchemy studies out of her shitty Almost Las Vegas But Also Supernatural apartment
► a crybaby pacifistic faerie on a quest to save the world who SHOULD be the type to die for the male jrpg protag's manpain but she's the fucking party tank
► a dying runaway princess-turned-pirate with a robotic arm and a moral code that extends about as far as her sword does
► a former soldier who traded her leg for a flying qilin in the war and delivers mail in the post-imperial country
► a sparkly teenager who thinks she's the protagonist of a magical girl anime and treats everything in her jrpg-adjacent world as such
full character details!


preferences
► i'm down for psls or meme threads, depending on character; some OCs are harder to sustain than others or need voicetesting. idk it depends! let's talk about it!!
► most of my OCs are animanga drawn icons, or maybe just the one that i'm using as a placeholder. despite that, i don't actually have a medium preference, and i genuinely don't mind iconless ocs either
► specific preferences vary by character; specific preferences and prompts can be found on my info masterlist for them!!
► in general, i like gen stuff! building friendships, adventures, and found families are some of my favorite things to play. some characters are open to ships but i probably won't play any smut
► depending on the oc, i am various amounts of open to setting mashups or jamjars, but i don't actually like to do full-on AUs (ex. none of my current ocs are from straight sci-fi verses; i don't reeeally want to put any of them in one)
► are you into worldbuilding? shit me too!!! that said some of my ocs come from more tightly-written worlds than others so not all of them are open for worldbuilding-heavy psls. but some of them are!!
► despite my silly title i actually am definitely willing to play with any canon characters! basically the only thing vaguely recent i care about anymore is fire emblem though so unless you play from that i'm probably completely canonblind LMAO
► i am not an especially fast tagger unless you're lucky enough to catch me during a boomerang session. i try to do a round of tags every day or two, but sometimes i lapse for like a week. i'm happy to sit down and try to play schedule tetris so we get the chance to boomerang if you're up for it though!
