enablemeplz | 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.

Looking for: IN GENERAL:
- Serial memes building off one another, or long-running PSLs. Open to cross-canon and AUs (I have to be nobody knows/plays half my canons anymore I'm Old help!) except sci-fi I cannot do spaceships/aliens, just not my thing.
- If you have castmates please please please make my day and let me know.
- Action/adventure/spy thriller/politics with knives/a series of unfortunate happenstances/the universe is laughing at us/slay the monster/fantasy/urban fantasy/we're now international fugitives and I'm blaming you is how I roll genre-wise mostly.
- Can't do romance/shipping unless It's A Bad Idea or Oops We Didn't Mean To, I can't do pure fluff, sorry, gotta have me some friction/tension for spice. Pining is nice and so is UST.
- That said boy oh boy do I love BDSM relationships, sexual or platonic.
- I love fix-it-AUs in both 'we changed one small thing and fixed canon' flavor and 'we BREAK canon and fix it better' flavor, so if you want your-fave-chara-lives I'm here for all your intervention needs.
- I prefer to start CR from the ground up, the only presumed CR I'll take is "we've seen eachother a few times but never talked about much but the weather" or the like.
- I like to get into the fallout of the drama, we had the adventure/trauma now how do we cope, so basically hurt/comfort.
- I like the nitty-gritty gory details but I'm always going to balance it out with comforting things or comedy so if you like it Serious All The Time we shan't jive.
- I have OCs, I don't mind OCs, but be aware if it's too Mary Sue I'm probably going to tell you so.

IN PARTICULAR:
- I can wedge Izumo into nearly any kind of canon that has spies in it, and I've had tons of fun cramming him into MCU before, also flopped him into A:TLA before, PacRim, and many more.
- Izumo is allergic to commitment so no he might fall for your character but he'll deny it to his dying day, he prefers serial friends-with-benefits.
- The Leandros Brothers are urban fantasy/monsterhunter and I would die with delight if any similar fandoms got offered for them (Supernatural, American Horror Story, The Walking Dead, The Magnus Archives, ect.). They have canonically met Pan/Robin Goodfellow and Loki.
- The Leandros Bros also come in Grimdark AU flavor, who have a long-running PSL with a Jack Harkness and a Gerard Keay that deals with elements of abuse/recovery/what it means to be human/discovering self-worth/healing. I would love to add to this PSL.
- Rook is a gorgeous jerkface, and Raphael is a poet playing at soldier, they're from a steampunk world with magic dragons, available in War Hero or post-war disillusioned versions.
- Alec and the Black are from the 1940s, canonically, and it's a ~~magical horse~~ series about horse racing and a boy and his horse having adventures, getting lost in the wilderness, meeting aliens (no really) and being the heralds of the apocalypse (no I'm serious) AND all this to say I think Alec would be a hilarious friend for a Tiny Steve or young Bucky.
- Claudia lives AU please please please.
- I love it when characters meet themselves from another universe, it's great.
- Deacon Silvey is a depressed/alcoholic psychic who sees the past when he touches objects and can gently manipulate reality.

Other Notes: I'm a steady tagger who will backtag into infinity or until the thread's done. I can occasionally boomerang in the late evening/early night hours of US Central time. I'll tackle any number of dark subjects, and it's tough to squick me, or offend me. I promise I don't bite.

I'm VERY good at plot-generating, writing starters, and cooking up scenarios! So if you want to do something but can't figure out what, reply here or PM this journal (it's Izumo's) and I'll be happy to bounce some ideas off you.
