October 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.

DCEU, Inception - Here for canon, cross-canon hijinks

[personal profile] fantabulousandwich 2021-10-09 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[character offered]:
Harley Quinn | [personal profile] fantabulousandwich | DCEU
Arthur | [personal profile] exsomnis | Inception

[rp you're offering for / rp type you'd wanna play in]:

I'm always on the look-out for shippy/romantic/smutty PSLs for these two. Harley's a crazy ex-therapist who likes taking care of people; Arthur's an emotionally stunted Type-A soldier boy who gets sucked into the intricacies of mindcrime and forgets to eat. Harley's definitely my main girl, but I'd really love some love for Arthur- it's tougher to tag around Baker Street with him, because he's not exactly the outgoing type.

I tag around BS with Harley a lot, but I'd really love some longer scenes to sink my teeth into. Some ideas:

The Face Behind the Mask
Probably mostly a Harley option- meeting a superhero/villain who has a secret identity that she doesn't know. I really think this one could be fun- finding ways to spend time together without seeing their face (blindfolded make-outs, hello,) maybe having a separate relationship with them in the real world, and not know they're the same person??

*Heist Music Begins*
I love love LOVE writing heists and action scenes of any kind- fights, intricate burglaries- maybe there's a huge starfish stomping around and they have to kill it?? Especially with Arthur, dreamspace has a lot of potential for weird surrealism and even psychological horror (just in time for Halloween!) Maybe your character is working with them; maybe they're here to stop them; maybe they're almost squished by a starfish and just got pulled into the action??

Sex Pollen
Okay, I've always wanted to try this one, but I'm not at all interested in dub-con or non-con, which can make it a bit tricky. I figure, either both characters get whammied at once, and then rip their clothes off and go to town; or there's got to be some IC negotiation beforehand and someone takes it willingly (and Harley totally would, that girl would snort anything.)

'Tis the Season
It's October, y'all, let's get some of that good good horror going on. Arthur and Co have to extract information from a serial killer? Harley agrees to help stop one of the REALLY bad supervillains? (I'm looking at you, Professor Pyg.) Someone gets turned into a vampire, and there's either gonna be a murder or a smooch? Or hmu with your ideas!

[preferences]:
- Both characters are bi-sexual, and interested in any gender, 25+.

- For shippy stuff, I do prefer to build up to the relationship, see what kind of chemistry they have, instead of jumping into assumed cr (give me some of those slow burn USTy vibes)

- Specifically for Harley: I'm not interested in writing with a Joker, an Ivy, or any of the younger Batfam at the moment. But I'm down to give anyone else a try, hero or villain or neither, and cross-canon is always great!

- Down to write smut or fade to black, whichever you prefer! With smut, I love stuff with D/S vibes, which can be as overt or subtle as you like; maybe there's a St. Andrews Cross and someone's getting flogged, maybe it's just an emotional overtone of control. But in general, using sex to explore power dynamics and characterization is both my jelly and my jam.

- I try to tag at least once a day, but I just moved and work has been crazy busy, so I might be slower than usual at the moment. I'll backtag into infinity though. I do prefer prose, but brackets is totally fine too!

- I don't have a Plurk, but hmu here, PM me, or just tag me on BS if you see me around!

yknow I’ve been meaning to ask if you’d like me sprinkling in a vague plotline that might go a bit left of the canon storyline (because hell this is just for fun, they can’t stop me)

get involved in the world’s worst doordasher’s ~personal life~ Harley, do it 😵‍💫
fantabulousandwich: (Laugh)

[personal profile] fantabulousandwich 2021-10-10 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
omg YES! Please ask Harley for personal advice, it's like one of her favourite things.

GOD... becoming the distortion’s ‘psychiatrist’ is the worst idea, just imagine

Just driveby love for how well you play Harley and how enthusiastic you are about tagging out. I really find her charming, and your priorities with her are pretty great too. Some of my favorite interactions and shipping stuff have been weird cross canons.

I play (comics, pre-52) Scarecrow, and I've always imagined him having at least a vague respect for most Harleys, if not more than vague, given that most incarnations of her are whip-smart head-doctors, as well as an Arkham Alumnus.

Otherwise, I'm happy to thread these two more if I see you in Bakerstreet.
fantabulousandwich: (Ooh!)

[personal profile] fantabulousandwich 2021-10-11 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Aaaaa, thank you so much! <3 I'm glad you like my girl! I love cross-canon stuff too, tbh; other superheros, other thieves, the occasional cosmic monster from beyond the deeps... (I'm actually a big fan of the HPL mythos, so I saw your boy and was like "Ooh, fun!")

Her being an adrenaline junkie, and Crane having his whole thing about fear, I've always thought that has potential be a GREAT dynamic; I'd totally be down to give something a try with those two. Any thoughts on a starter? Or I've got an open post, I could put something up there?

And yeah, I will absolutely catch Nyarlathotep around BS. :D
rephase: (The idiot Chaos)

[personal profile] rephase 2021-10-12 11:35 am (UTC)(link)
You're welcome! I'm glad to hear you're a fan of HPL stuff, it's extremely... exploitable.

And anyone the Puritans hated can't be all bad, right?

WRT Jon, I'd say he probably wouldn't gas a fellow rogue (mostly for professional courtesy reasons) but they might meet somewhere, during a job one of them is pulling? Maybe they both target the same museum, staffed by a single security job one day before retirement...

I am utterly canon-blind but:

Would you like a flirty ninja with a boatload of mental issues for Harley to pick at, complete with Fights or just Spy Politics? Or someone very outgoing and not at all deterred by a quiet person to try to make friends with Arthur?
