February 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 went with a tiny sea serpent. Honestly, there's a lot of leeway I think in what they mean by canon. The Azul as an Oceaniad for example.

Oh yeah, I could see how the implications we have might be very off from what a person might have thought about his background before chapter 6. I'll probably be waiting and seeing to see if I can get my brain around how much I can handle a second game.
firehoof: (Why do you do)

[personal profile] firehoof 2022-02-26 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Hello, hello! I'm down with OCs—love them, even. And both of yours sound pretty rad! I'll admit I'm partial to the angel lady for obvious reasons, but I'd love to hear more! And whether or not you're specifically gunning for gen/shippy/smutty so I can recalibrate accordingly.

In the meantime I am actually about to head to bed soon, but I'd love to chat more when I can.
nefilim: (that i will burn i will not be free)

[personal profile] nefilim 2022-02-26 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Sleep well! Also if it's easier I'm down for talking things out on plurk too!

And since it's Belial I'm down for the sin route, but I'm also with you on wanting some buildup with CR first so maybe starting with gen (or as gen as this man can be) and seeing how it goes from there?

Also I have more info on both ladies on their respective journals: here for ghost lady and here for angel But general tl;dr is;

Lapis is a very powerful spirit medium who's bffs with a bunch of ghosts and also died once, but it's fine. Recently she's been hanging out with demons too, which is also fine. Her family runs a big old supernatural info network that toes the line of being criminal, but Lapis herself is very kind and sweet though she suffers from perma-lineface.

Anastasia aka Ana, is... A Lot. She's a half-angel who, through a series of unfortunate events, has fallen and basically wishes to kill god (and also her angelic father) since she views them as basically a source of suffering for her/her siblings. She's confident and energetic, but also very fiery tempered and enjoys getting into trouble, though she's never actively malicious. Just very Chaotic.

My Granblue knowledge has gotten a bit hazy since I haven't played in a while, but I could AU them in or we can just go for an entirely different setting!

Oh gosh, let me sales pitch this for you because we'd love to have you! It's a requirement playing Five that I try to find all the siblings... my little dream.

Eastbound is an invite-only plot-driven game on the medium-slow side, but it has a fantastic dedicated player base, and the plot is forward moving so it doesn't get stale. (I'm slow sometimes myself, but people will backtag me forever.) The players also drive the plot, so we get a lot of individual attention and unexpected developments. Zombies and ghosts are a frequent problem, so they've really been cursing Klaus not being around. (The whole thing centers around undead lords, it's very much a problem.) It's a good time.

We have Diego, Allison, and Five. We did have a Klaus there for exactly one minute some months ago, and they'd all very much like to know if he's alive because they aren't... really sure... Vanya disappeared at the same time and there are concerns. There's a longer story there, but I can get you up to speed if you're interested to know what they've been up to.

Anyway! You can find more info on the navigation page: here (the 'story so far' is a good summary of what's been going on since it opened.)

As luck would have it we have an active TDM going on at the moment if you'd like to test the waters.

I took a three year break from games before joining Eastbound, and we've been collecting people who have kind of been in this same boat, you'd have friends there. AND of course, I'm happy to just tag with you outside of this any time. Whatever you're in the mood for. :)

HP AU - Done and Dusted - Gauging Interest (InsaneJournal)

[personal profile] schubaccah 2022-02-27 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
Putting out a feeler to gauge interest in a post HBP Harry Potter AU game set a few years after Voldemort is killed. The game is based off a game called Done and Dusted which was run on Greatest Journal in 2006-2007. The idea is that the Battle of Hogwarts still happened, Voldemort still was killed, but we want to be able to say all of the unnecessary character deaths from book 7 didn’t have to happen! We also welcome original characters, but prefer there is some tie to canon (mention of a name in the books, distant relation, etc).

We’re going to be very vague as far as what happened in Harry’s 7th year other than that there was a final attack on Hogwarts in Harry’s seventh year and he did kill Voldemort. But we leave it in shades of gray so that you can develop your character through this time as you see fit!

The game is based on the premise of a mental institution dressed up as a “retreat” for patients to come and deal with problems caused by the war. People are coming to terms with their emotions, and coming to terms with former friends and enemies. Call it an emotional rollercoaster of character development. Patients at the retreat will either willingly admit themselves (good guys), be committed, or be incentivized to get time knocked off their sentence if they spend a term at the institution (hello, Death Eaters!). They will be required to attend weekly therapy sessions with the on-premise counselors while being kept an eye on under the careful eye (and hidden cameras!) of the director of the facility and the Aurors she has employed to keep things in order.

Patients will be restricted from using magic in the form of casting spells while at the retreat, but creatures such as Werewolves will still undergo the magical changes that their condition demands they do (and yes, magical creatures are welcome!). Patients will also find that their emotions are heightened while on retreat grounds, feeling things much more intensely than they would normally.

We’re going to host the game in a journal forum setting, either in InsaneJournal or Dreamwidth. The patients will be given journals that have been charmed so that they can communicate with other patients and staff through them (wizarding social media!). In game days will span over the course of a few to several real life days, depending on if there are events happening in game and how much time we feel an in game day needs. There will be official day changes posted in game so everyone knows what day we’re on, and what’s going on.

If we can get interest from a few people we’re going to move forward in creating the platform and get moving! We already have the plot foundations worked out and it won’t take too long to get up and going if we are able to pique some interest. Please either comment here, private message me here, DM me on Discord (Schubaccah#6690), or email at doneanddustedmods@gmail.com .

*Done and Dusted is a darker-themed game that will have elements of trauma (mental and physical) and other adult themes. We will use cuts and tags to properly ensure content warning but we want to be up front about the existence of mature themes that will be present. Having said that, this is not a smut-based RP community. While we are sex-friendly, we don’t want this turning into a porno. Plot is always first!

***Please note that our want to play in the HP sandbox does not, in any shape or form, condone JKR's transphobia or TERFism. Her beliefs are harmful and just plain nasty toward people who just want to live their lives, and contradictory to the lessons many people around the world gained from the series itself.

If you'd like to help out with the issues transgender people are fighting against today, particularly in the state of Texas, here are two articles with information on what's happening and places you can donate toward.

So a lineface for Belial to troll exceedingly and a chaotic angel whom Belial would also troll exceedingly… I dig it.

But hold up though, I'll PM you in a bit! I think we've got the beginnings of something beautiful going on here.

OFFERING
• Maleficent ( live-action films — I generally take her post-Mistress of Evil, but that might change, depending! )
PREFERENCES
• I'd prefer no straight-up AU or memory loss (some of those elements are fine / temporary memloss could be cool)
• sex-friendly is perfectly fine, but I'm not looking for strictly sex / sex AC games
• power nerfing of various degrees is okay, but no forced humanisation, please! She would rather die than be a human
• pretty flexible on all other elements! I'm willing to look at any game size as long as it allows for slower taggers / is backtag friendly, as I do run on the slower side.

I'm thoroughly irritated that Sarah and Bucky never got past "Hi!" in FatWS and would love for them to get the chance to do more in RP.

I am irritated she didn't get more screen time in general. But absolutely I would love to run something with them. Open to memes, PSLs whatever.

If you're looking for something on the smaller side and enjoy horror, we have a little Marvel cast over in Apocalypse How! The new TDM went up today, as well! It's a modern day setting that's focused on cosmic horror with body and psychological horror mixed in.
thedoctorsmate: (srs | listening)

[personal profile] thedoctorsmate 2022-03-01 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
We've got a Tim Drake over in Apocalypse How, and the new TDM just went up today. It's a tiny horror game that's got more than a few morally dubious characters, like Catwoman. And there's a potential to gain supernatural abilities if your character is willing to hurt other people!

[personal profile] flameinthedarkness 2022-03-02 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh wonderful. I would be heavily amused if gave Floyd a little octopus/kraken with him. No doubt much comments on how squishy it is, just like Azul, heh.

This is a horrible month for me... but I am trying to write up something for Avalon's TDM for Floyd (though still need to make him an account), so fingers crossed I can do that, despite having a busy month in Void Trecker to come for another character. Mostly to voice test him, see if I can get it right, more so than planning to app this month. Though maybe in future if I'm able to get his voice talking right for me.

I will ask, as I saw briefly in the FAQ for the game, but since you have one of the merboys in game, how you finding the transformations for them? I assume they still got their typical abilities to swim normally in game in their merforms.
mushroomaficionado: (Default)

[personal profile] mushroomaficionado 2022-03-02 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
God Azul would die...

And yeah it's understandable. I think Floyd is probably one of the most challenging TWST people voicewise.

I think the transformation is pretty much the same (I'm kind of assuming it might be automatic in Avalon though.) They just don't get any unique special powers from it. Mod response from when the Azul asked about it if that helps at all.
flameinthedarkness: (Default)

[personal profile] flameinthedarkness 2022-03-02 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
It's mostly that... Floyd has wonderful moments of seeming to be able to have the perfect idea in a group... when he really shouldn't be the one to do that, heh. Always delivered in his typical way, but being the 'oh shit' moment for others to work something out. He's certainly more the level of chaos in the trio.

I actually think Jade would be very tough with some of the card stories I was reading the other day. His dorm uniform one is wonderful, but just so many steps ahead of others to have his plans work. Floyd is... it just works out at the end, heh.

I did see that FAQ answer, I guess I was wondering if the 'no special abilities' didn't include their swimming speeds (since the twins would be faster than humans swimming) since it's a physical aspect to them.

[personal profile] thedoctorsmate 2022-03-03 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
OH, MAN... I mean, I will take any iteration of the Doctor. Always! But we've also got an MCU!Peter Parker on the TDM if Doc Ock wants to come out to play there, as well.

[personal profile] nepodatlivyj 2022-03-03 09:41 am (UTC)(link)
I'll keep an eye out for you in memes! I'm partial to gen esp nerdy ones like picture prompt and otherwordly, and also hurt/comfort of course. Feel free to hit him up if you catch him in the wild.
mushroomaficionado: (pic#15461424)

[personal profile] mushroomaficionado 2022-03-03 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah Jade is more considered and careful, but also probably doesn't always have the ability to just go with the flow that Floyd does.

As for swimming speed, I think it just wouldn't be anything uh supernaturally fast? Like reasonable levels of being really strong or really fast are more the norm? So like more realistically they would be fast swimmers because their bodies are designed for it? At least that's what I'm thinking?
over_the_sea: (Default)

[personal profile] over_the_sea 2022-03-03 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Since I ended up making the account and all... guess I should use it here, heh.

Ah, that's why they're good together; Jade keeps Floyd out of too much trouble and is the best person to know how his moods can change, and Floyd can drag Jade along when he gets too stuck in the mud. As long as they are having fun together, of course.

Yeah, I'll see how I do TDM, but I doubt I would app this month if I do get his voice down, but was curious to know how the mers were able to use their forms in this world since I see they bringing most people down to human bases (Am so glad I'm not bring my dragon ball character to it... Vegeta would flip his lid). Though I also assume not a lot of swimming for them to do, but I guess that depends on missions and areas of the game world.

I also realize the issue I have for TDM or this game, or just playing Floyd... having to come up with all the fish nicknames for people...

hi there! i am SO sorry for the delay in replying to this, but i would absolutely love to try out claude and hilda! we can try them out on a meme and see how things go - if you have an idea for a starter that you'd like to put up for them for the random scenario meme, i would be happy to do that! feel free to send me a PM to this journal and we can discuss it if you want, or if you just wanna throw your idea at me as a starter, that works too. ♥

[personal profile] over_the_sea 2022-03-05 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
I think I will have to keep a chart of who I end up calling who (and I say this as I look at Avalon's app procedure and grabbed images for icons... cause apparently I can't help myself...), but also means I need to pull up just a list of fish to have beside me when I start CR with people, heh.

Hello! I have a Bakugou to offer if you want him. I only recently picked him up but I'm up for museboxing or bakerstreet memes. And I'm absolutely down for continuing to build their relationship slowly across multiple threads. I'm usually quick to reply to things but I'm patient and don't mind waiting for replies back!

[character offered]: Katsuki Bakugou
[fandom]: My Hero Academia
[preferences]:
I prefer museboxes, dressing rooms and in general places without activity checks. I am an avid roleplayer who usually has free time to roleplay in the evenings but the pressure of activity checks sucks all desire to create out of me. I'm currently on [community profile] bakerstreet and [profile] nexus_crossing. But I'm open to jumping into other casual comms! I am down for playing both platonic and romantic relationships out and I'm comfortable with smut.

Honestly any castmates would be LOVED. Although I'd particularly love Izuku Midoriya, Eijiro Kirishima, Denki Kaminari, Hanta Sero, Mina Ashido or Shoto Todoroki. And cross-canon and ocs are both very welcome! I'm definitely looking for roleplay friends to plot and play with~
