December 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.

Ace Attorney, World of Horror

[personal profile] coursecorrecting 2021-12-12 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
offering;
Ryunosuke Naruhodo | The Great Ace Attorney
Kirie Minami | World of Horror


preferences;
Someone who'll put up with my hot mess of a schedule, as I'm overtime with a really insufferable coworker to the point of parody in the work group chat. No one can muzzle him. Attempts have been made. Everyone who's seen the shit he says has been horrified.

You will get a weekly tag, possibly weekly tags, plural. If I vanish into the ether, apologies, but I'll try to unvanish and/or give you a heads up if the vanishing is going to take a bit longer.

That aside, for Ryunosuke I'm a big whatever as he seems to be a good straight man to other people's hijinks and that's always fun for me to write. So, basically, canon and crosscanon are great. Gen's great. Stupid threads are great. I'm the person to talk to if you want 15 tags of them being lost in an Ikea with increasingly escalating stakes.

In terms of shipping...I'm open to a lot? It's more about specific interpretations of characters than it is characters in general, so unless you're playing Iris or Phoenix or someone outright No like that, decent chance I'll be willing to take a stab.

For Kirie it's basically anyone who's willing to put up with a 2-bit character from an indie game and exploring spooky Japanese horror. I can give more of a sales pitch if anyone's interested. There's a neat update that gave me ideas. (And the game itself is interesting: please consider checking it out.)

PM or comment if interested.

hello!! i don't mind that pace at all and completely understand if you've gotta become one with the void for a while (good luck... hang in there...! 😱), and i would LOVE 15 tags of being lost in ikea

at first it's mostly because iris deliberately drags ryunosuke over to see stuff whenever he tries looking for the exit, but after she's had her fun she realizes she can't find the way out either....
coursecorrecting: (this is strangely surreal)

[personal profile] coursecorrecting 2021-12-12 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
omg I was actually debating if I should bother you because my unpredictability! That can be obnoxious to deal with! But Iris is also quite good. And then here you are, solving the problem for me.

And thank you. I'll spare you the finer details because this ain't my plurk timeline, but I'm basically working with a guy who thinks he's management and acts like he's management, but is another temp. It's so tiring.

But that's not important! What's important is.............I like writing starters. Give me a place and I'll write a starter for you. Ikea or something else. We can plot? I've got ideas. Let me know.

I'm using this icon because I have no idea if I'll ever be able to use it, but someone got me a paid and I felt obligated to icon it up, so here we are.

[personal profile] steampink 2021-12-12 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
oh!! well i'm glad i was able to help then! 😊 honestly i had a moment of "hmm i hope i'm not bothering them!" when i was typing my comment to you, so hooray for avoiding being missed connections, that would've been a shame!

and gosh, all i can say is a big yikes.

but okay, thank you! i actually do think ikea sounds really fun, but if there's something you'd prefer i'd love to hear your ideas, and i can come up with some too if you want! and whenever we're ready i've got this post for you! (did i want an excuse to make a comm with that name? perhaps)

also it's a good icon, that's gonna be me with iris's crossed eyes face once i do more iconning

hi!! i just wanted to say thanks so much for tagging me back and giving me much-needed laughs. i am really enjoying what we have so far on the winter fest meme and would be happy to keep it going for as long as you are.

i don't check memes much but if there's anything in particular you're looking for, or any specific ideas as far as ryusato goes, i'm happy to oblige!

[personal profile] coursecorrecting 2021-12-12 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh no, you tagging me was actually really exciting. I'm used to having to hunt down people to tag like some hunter/gatherer nomad, and my reaction was basically a few exclamation points before I hammed it up. So! Thank you for tagging me.

Normally at this point I'd have more ideas to pitch, but honestly, the dude I alluded to at the top post has been draining my brainpower and my brain's at the level of 'everyone took a trip to Japan, Herlock drank from the clean water that the tour guide assured him was clean, the tour guide meant spiritually clean as a statue of Buddha was involved and not actually clean, and now people are taking turns helping him deal with the water poisoning' or 'due to a bad storm the boat cannot sail and they're stuck in some really random port for a couple of weeks getting to play the part of tourists and experiencing seeing camels for the first time' or 'surprise birthday party for their favorite prosecutor and finding his favorite stuff in London is a real struggle'

So, I guess...I do have ideas, but they're all vague. Anyway, I'm enjoying the thread we do have!

I see your ikea trip and raise you with Ryunosuke and Sholmes putting together ikea furniture--

ahem. anyway, if you're interested in bouncing off a sholmes please let me know! would very enjoy hitting up Mr Naruhodo for something because I enjoy their dynamic a whole lot.
coursecorrecting: (how tf am I going to fill this up)

[personal profile] coursecorrecting 2021-12-13 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
I

Holy shit. Them trying to assemble a Regissör or a Sagstua while anyone who can intervene is gone for the day. The eventual dance of deduction resulting in the discovery that Ikea forgot to include some pegs and that's why they spent the last three hours unable to finish assembling it. Them trudging back to return the thing and Sholmes somehow getting a job as a floor model in which he sleeps in the beds and sits in the chairs and when people get too close he offers them a photograph for a shilling.

I would be into bouncing off a Sholmes. Their dynamic is amazing. My poor friend just heard me talk about their dynamic for the last few minutes as I go through gathering screenshots. I'm also pretty down with writing starters.

Normally I've got more ideas but my brain's still somewhat pureed so it's in full shitpost mode and it's stuck on ideas like them having to do one of those environmental puzzles ala a Pokemon gym or a Zelda or some other game in which you have to push and pull a lot, or it's survival horror except they're not hiding from a monster, they're trying to evade That One Dude neither of them really wants to deal with at the moment. Or, as you can see, Ikea.

Or they traveled to somewhere with monkeys, and one of the monkeys stole something shiny and glittery like, say, goggles, and now the two of them have to spelunk through the forest to get it back (and the twist at the end is feeding the monkey is how they get it back, not searching for the monkey).

Anyway. Give me an idea and a place to put it and I'll be happy to write a starter.

...man, that's a lot of words.

Look, I love shitposty things, I am playing Sholmes, sob. All of these ideas are amazing lmfao.

That said, if you wanted to start with something more tame I have the winter festival meme up in Hurley's journal but am happy to find another idea to go with if you'd prefer!

i am loving our crosscanon thread from this week's tfln, your ryunosuke is a delight!! additionally i'm also a stupid-lost-in-ikea-thread person so, like, perfect lmao.

i will be COMING for you and all the GAA folks around these parts, as soon as the holidays give me enough free time to beat both games. <:) throwing a mismatched watson at holmes-adjacent characters is a (not so) guilty pleasure of mine, thank you for indulging me...

Oh no, tbh my voicetesting comes easiest when I'm doing something like having Ryunosuke run through FF7 Midgar screaming with Joseph Joestar, because everyone's already going to be a little bit OOC because of the situation, so why bother worrying about the details? So if anything, you were super helpful and the thread's a delight. Bother me anytime.

That said, I'm going to still use this default icon because I'm tired.
