August EMP Meme

ENABLEMEPLZ

meme goes up on the Second 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.

✨ offering:
  • Bruce Wayne (DCEU + Zack Snyder's Justice League) permissions
  • Thomas Hamilton (Black Sails) (tentatively) permissions

✨ seeking:
  • for Bruce, i'm mostly looking for shipping psls, tbh. |D;;; mainly interested in finding a Selina (happy to work with adapting any interpretation of her) or Diana that i jive with. also anyone listed in his permissions! i'm pretty open about shipping with him so long as it's from a canon i'm familiar with (i am very behind/out of touch with a lot though, orz). not interested in any villains or anything extremely combative atm.
  • as far as Thomas goes, i'm pretty out of practice writing him but the mood strikes me now and again and i miss doing it. really only looking for Flint for him unless someone has a genius crosscanon idea, and is willing to tolerate me being slow as we figure it out! open to post-canon, pre-canon, aus, all kinds of things. (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧

✨ about me:
  • present tense, brackets or prose both fine! though i have a slight preference for prose since i wear glasses and sometimes tinyfont is hard, lol, so if you're a prose person hmu.
  • i tend to lose steam on text threads pretty quickly but will tag scenes back for basically an eternity so long as we've both got the momentum for it.
  • my schedule is kind of wonky. sometimes i can boomerang all day and sometimes i can only hit tags back once in a while. i have a lot of patience for slow-moving threads!
  • preferred contact is via dreamwidth pm! ♥ i like to get to know people somewhat before adding them on other social media accounts.

Hi there! I have a Flint (whom I'm also out of practice writing and would likely be slow with) but I'd be totally up to try some threads. Mind if I friend your Thomas journal with my Flint journal?

(Also I'm getting a kick out of your Greek-word based journal name for Thomas and my Latin-word based journal name for Flint.)

i mean bruce is basically modern-day sherlock with a trust fund SO i don't have anything specific to offer apart from a burning need to toss irene at bruce one of these days, and i figured this is as good a place as ever to see if you'd ever be interested in that! alternatively, i'll forever be sad we will probably never get to see a snyderverse version of selina and would love to brainstorm what that would end up looking like if you would ever like to chat about that...

hello hello! i'd be down to give 'em a go, sure, though i have to admit i'm only broad strokes/tropes familiar with sherlock holmes. fairly certain i've seen the ritchie films but not since they were first released, orz;

i'd love to chat about a selina if you're keen ♥
