September 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.
umbraeternam: till the end of days. (♫ forgiving me for what i've done)

star wars, mcu; cross canon

[personal profile] umbraeternam 2021-09-12 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
offering:
Star Wars » Kylo Ren / Brianna Solo (aka rule 63 Ben Solo) - [personal profile] umbraeternam
Star Wars » Poe Dameron (force sensitive AU) - [personal profile] poeticforce

MCU » Bucky Barnes - [personal profile] winterproof

and some other assorted variations/fandoms/originals listed here.

seeking:
» First off, Brianna/Kylo tends to dominate my brain-space on any given day, and tags usually come a little easier or quicker writing for her. So sometimes my tags for other characters can be extra sporadic, apologies.
» Cross canon (including cross media) is a love of mine; always happy to engage in it with any of mine, no matter how improbable or potentially ridiculous. Those of you that let me indulge it on memes, tysm.
» Also, for all I'm totally content doing gen things or shippy stuff. Or starting gen and seeing what happens; I'm a big fan in general of going with the flow of a thread, wherever it leads.

For Brianna » Family interactions are always, always loved. Whether it's sad-happy reunions, or having tough conversations canon robbed us of, or exploring pre-films stuff, just anything really. A Leia or Anakin would particularly be loved.
» Time travel/timeline shenanigans are a personal fave. As well as just meeting/interacting with characters she wouldn't get to otherwise.
» Interactions with other Force users, friendly or not. She's kind of had her fill of mentors for a lifetime but she's endlessly curious and thirsting for knowledge, despite herself at times. Her viewpoint on the Force and certain groups can also make for interesting conversations.
» Shipping is never ever a requirement but I do enjoy it with her because of all her complications. And I'm a sucker for Force Bond stuff, whether it's with Rey or someone else; would actually be really curious to explore something where she strikes a bond with someone not Force sensitive, and her having to help them adjust to things that are normal for her (ie. telepathy, sensing someone else's emotions).
» Plenty of other ideas and concepts in her journal as well.

For Poe » I'd really love to do something more pointed with his AU and have someone try to train him in some capacity, since he kind of defaults to trying to ignore the Force and doubling down on what he's already good at. (This could involve some time travel fuckery or not, I'm flexible.)
» Also always down for time travel/timeline shenanigans with him as well, whether going back or someone coming forward.
» I have a pre-IW MCU AU for him that I've never gotten to do much with and wouldn't mind experimenting with again. Details here. General cross canon/crossover shenanigans is super A+ too.
» Recently set up a darkpilot themed journal for him and have kind of latched on to an Imperial Agent concept that I'm always down to play more with, wouldn't mind exploring an assassin (sith or not) type concept either.
» Assorted other ideas in his journal.

For Bucky » I'm not remotely up-to-date on MCU things but have been wanting to write Bucky a bit more, with whomever. If not writing vaguely canon-shaped things, I've found werewolf shenanigans to come pretty easily too. I feel like I have a decent handle on him, just get intimidated mostly by the assumption of being expected to be totally caught up on all things MCU. :|

» While I'm not looking for a game, I'm not opposed to taking a look at one if it accepts AUs/genderswaps and has minimal AC requirements (check-in type things preferred). Not a big fan of missions or constant required events either.

other notes:
» This time of year I'm usually working 45-50 hrs/week minimum and my tagging pace is a lot slower than I'd like it to be, and some weeks I may only have the mental energy to tag on the weekends or sparingly during the week. If it's particularly hectic, it could be longer. So if you need a daily tagging partner, we're probably not a good match. (I can boomerang for brief periods, if I'm really feeling a thread or if it's something quicker like texting, but it's highly dependent on the day.)
» That said, I'm good with any tagging speed in a writing partner. Life Happens, I don't sweat delays. Unless I've totally lost inspiration I'm generally good to pick stuff back up no matter how much time has passed.
» I love long-term lines, or carrying lines/AUs across multiple memes (if playing in meme posts).
» Always down to brainstorm / world-build / conjure up AU verses. I have a tendency to come up with variations for any muse I stick with for a while, and am totally down to create one-off scenarios or specialized AUs.
» Feel free to contact me wherever! Here, open posts in character's journals, PMs, just hitting me up on a meme top-level, whatever you're comfortable with. Plurk is fine too (and listed on my mains' journals), open to sharing my Discord after we've chatted a bit.

if ever you want to write something or text or whatever, feel free to hit me up! or if you wanna plot something more in depth i'm down for that, too. i've been in and out with work the last couple/few months so i'm kind of operating on a similar tagging system right now anyway.

Yes, totally! I've always enjoyed our interactions, regardless of how sporadic life makes them, lol. Always down for more.

I have a ninja/spy here who I would definitely enjoy doing vaguely-canon-shaped things with Bucky, if not fixing-canon-AU things, complete with gentle teasing crossed with secret star-struck delight/terror (THE Winter Soldier!). Izumo's a constant flirt but shipping not required.
