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've been dying to play Rui/Tsukasa! The caveat is that I am totally new to Tsukasa as a character and am only playing the English edition of the game as of now...

It's totally fair if either of these things is unappealing to you, but if they aren't, I'd love to hash something out!

That’s totally okay! I’m new to playing Rui myself, and even if I played on jpn server until eng came out, there’s lots to do that doesn’t involve future events. School shenanigans, playing fast and loose with what Sekai are, the ultimate performance of fake dating...the possibilities are endless.

If you’ve got preferences or anything particular in mind lmk!

Wonderful ✨If there is anything in future events that you feel would be important to know for present-day characterization, I am not opposed to looking up some stuff either!

The performance of fake dating sounds instantly appealing to me, because it incorporates what I'd been hoping to play out most: Tsukasa and Rui being in increasingly romantic situations while Tsukasa just does NOT make the mental connection to dating being a thing they could do. Like you just know the guy said 'no thanks, I am focusing on my career :)' once when he was confessed to in third grade and hasn't opened the topic in his head ever since...

I also have a fondness for like... coming-out scenarios, a lighthearted bit of engaging with gay/bi identity, but if that's not your cup of tea then we can skim over that part pretty much entirely!

I'd be down for awkward first times smut eventually, but I'd like to write the relationship buildup first. Figuring out the difference between grand performative romantic gestures in public vs genuine affection in private being way more intimidating...

Nothing comes to mind immediately but if I do remember some bit of characterization or lore I’ll be sure to pass it along! Also apologies in advance if I drop some random flavor text tidbit that I forgot is mentioned in an event that hasn’t arrived on global yet.

Oh lmao poor every person who thought tsukasa was an appealing target and then he opened his mouth. I like it a lot for Rui too, for the whole “if it’s not real, the end doesn’t mean it’s a real rejection/abandonment” angle.

I’m probably going to skim over that on Rui’s end but I 100% don’t mind playing off of it if you want Tsukasa to engage with coming out/identity.

I like buildup a lot so that’s no problem! Affection leaking into private when the performance isn’t needed is like, one of my favorite aspects of fake dating so I’m super game for that. Sounds like all we need is a reason these two need to fake date.

I don't mind spoilers, so no worries about any future details slipping!

As for a reason... Wonder Stage is putting on a teenage-oriented play as part of some park-wide weekend event that is meant to draw an audience that is slowly aging out of theme parks back in? Teenage-oriented play means relationship drama and also capturing an audience in their age range... where to better promote that than at school?

I suppose in that set-up, the aim wouldn't be to really make their schoolmates believe beyond all doubt that they are dating, but more putting on a show of their romantic roles at random points every day to evoke curiosity about the play. Method acting! A month of being gushy and sappy in public all the time - which means there is a set endpoint too, oh no!!

... idk, let me know what you think, this was the scenario that sprang to my mind first, haha

[personal profile] mechanicist 2022-02-14 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
Hmmmm the only other idea that comes to my mind is like...saki or perhaps even nene/emu/touya? is dating someone and tsukasa wants to make sure everything is Fine. It’d be weird to spy on them, but do you know what wouldn’t be weird?? A double date. Cue him asking Rui to be his partner in crime without immediately realizing just how long he’d have to keep up this charade.

I’d be up for either plans though!

Ichika(?) experiencing the most surreal time of her life as her girlfriends' weird overbearing brother shows up with a somehow even weirder guy in tow like HELLO FELLOW LOVEBIRDS...

I think the pros of each scenario are like...

Promo: set end-date for emotional turmoil, less necessity for other named characters to be involved

Saki's Lovestory: FULL IMMERSION, they gotta keep up the charade full time and it's gotta be believable!!

I think I tend towards the show-promo idea by a small margin because I like the thought of grandiose stage-like gestures simmering down to quiet genuine expressions of affection? BUT EITHER WORKS, worried brother mode is also very very cute...

[personal profile] mechanicist 2022-02-14 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
As nice as Saki being the only one sitting there innocently thinking “I’m glad everyone’s getting along :)” would be, you do make a good point about the reliance on side characters possibly being annoying there.

I’m trying to think up a way to merge the two because the vigilance/full immersion/always thinking about what to do to prove you’re dating this person leading into constant thoughts about what it would be like to actually date is always so fun.

Mayyyybe the show promo thing leads everyone to believe they are dating somehow?? The charade must continue because otherwise...idk Saki Would Be Disappointed???

[personal profile] wonderxboy 2022-02-14 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
THAT'S GENIUS! Saki hears through the grapevine first because Tsukasa neglected to mention it to her so he gets a whole super sparkly-eyed congrats on the boyfriend reception at home and it's like... welp. NOW HE'S STUCK LIKE THIS.

Excellent! Sounds like a plan then. Did you want to toss up a starter or should I?

I'd leave it to you, if that's alright! This is gonna be fun!

No problem! Here you go! Lmk if anything’s wrong/you’d like something changed.

Hello! I'm still a newbie to proseka, but I do have Nene if you're looking for WxS castmates!

[personal profile] trouped 2022-02-14 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
I love all WxS castmates for Tsukasa so Nene is more than welcome! I’ve got a couple ideas knocking around but if you’ve got any preferences right off the bat I’d like to hear them

Honestly, I'm open to pretty much anything! I think I've always loved how confident he is in comparison to her own doubts and quiet nature and then how well they played off each other in the Christmas show they did, so I think the dynamic I love will end up showing up in any scenario and I'd be content with just that.

My arms are open for ideas!
trouped: (Default)

[personal profile] trouped 2022-02-14 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah I loved the Christmas event for them too. And in that vein, the idea that’s been knocking around my head the longest is the obvious route of them playing romantic leads. The reason could be anything, like a school event or idk Phoenix Wonderland Valentines/White Day contest? Either way I think it’s a way to have them spend a lot of charged time together.
unamusical: (Default)

[personal profile] unamusical 2022-02-14 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
Oh a Valentines contest would be super cute! I'm totally down to have them have to play romantic leads and all the cuteness and tension that would come with that.

[personal profile] trouped 2022-02-14 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
Alright \o/
If you don’t have any preferences in regards to the plot of the show etc did you want to toss up a starter or should I?

I can do it, it just might take me a bit! I'll shoot you a DM once it's up.
