enablemeplz | November 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.

I hope I'm doing this right! I think this is where I put it....

[character offered]: Radley/Ramon

[fandom]: Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds

[rp you're offering for / rp type you'd wanna play in]: Long-term would be my preference. Could start with slice-of-life and have a plot later, or start with plot, whatever, and just see where it goes and if it can last. I would like to find other YGO characters, preferably (especially a Kalin Kessler, but that may be too much to hope for since 5Ds seems to be a relatively small fandom compared to other YGO series). I'd be happy to play with any YGO characters from any YGO series willing to accept Radley/give him a chance. By default I play Radley post-Crash Town arc, but I'm willing to play him during any Crash Town era if that fits better. (I'm especially fond of exploring what happened to him after he was canonically abandoned in the mines by Kalin and Yusei, and I would especially like to start with this if I find a Kalin....)

My biggest dream aside from finding a Kalin would be a group YGO-centric RP, but 1 on 1 is great too. If it ends up working out, I often do 1 on 1 RPs where each player takes several characters and we can get a pretty good cast just between the two of us. Or we can each play just one character of our choice; either is cool.

I don't really want amnesia RPs or RPs where the character can't stay as he is in canon (i.e., becoming a monster/animal/having his age changed is a no-go for me). Preferably, I'd like something where he's either home or at least isn't stuck in a strange place and can freely pass back and forth between the meeting hub and his home, but I'd probably be willing to consider a "stuck in a strange place" RP as long as he could stay human and alive and keep his memories. I'm not big on characters gaining magical powers either, although it's a little more tolerable to me if they only have them via an object and not inherently. My Radley can typically open dimensional portals with his pendant, but it's an extreme strain on him to do so (and I'm unlikely to introduce this concept unless it fits the RP and/or is wanted).

I prefer a more dramatic RP or slice-of-life/character conversation. Not a huge fan of comedy/crack, and when I end up in one like that, my character tends to be the straight man and other players don't seem to like that. I don't like depressing/post-apocalyptic stuff much, but I take those on a case by case basis. I love hurt/comfort more than is probably healthy, but I don't want anything to be done to my character without my express permission. I don't do well with really gory violence or body horror. If we did an arc involving what happened in the Crash Town mines, the typical thing is for Radley to die due to things that Malcolm's men were canonically doing to the prisoners, but it's not handled graphically and of course, he does revive later.

[preferences]:
I prefer gen/friendship/family over romance. I won't do NSFW or smut at all, no matter the pairing. I am unconventional and my male characters can sometimes become more affectionate than is usual in a non-romantic relationship, but I'll only do this if the partner is comfortable with it and agrees, if our characters become very close. (With Radley, this is unlikely to happen with anyone other than Kalin Kessler or the Bunch, but of course in an RP, unexpected bonds can develop.)

I like dub names and localizations the most, but I'm fine with mixing and matching names if the other players prefer Japanese. I would, however, like the freedom to keep my headcanons and backstory for Radley in any case.

I like RPs that are very active. I understand real-life gets in the way, but I try to be available at some point every day (possibly multiple times, depending on the speed of partners and the complexity of posts). I could probably only do a couple of long posts a day, but short ones could happen more frequently. I will keep going in a thread as long as it looks like there's something to say/do. If the other players can't reply as quickly, that's fine, although I really appreciate being told if that will be the case so I know not to hang around waiting for a response. :)
