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.

The Mandalorian (Star Wars TV)

[personal profile] grogus 2022-02-13 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
OFFERING
Din Djarin from The Mandalorian & The Book of Boba Fett.

SEEKING
Canon-mates, primarily! AU/OCs too. I'd really like to play him in a less-Disney-like setting. He's supposed to be tough and badass, but Disney likes to water things down quite a bit. The reason I picked up this character is to explore more of that side, so it would be awesome for others to join.
Cross-canon too (any medium). I think it would be fun to come up with a backstory for them. Let me know if you're interested and have any ideas.
Memes, one-shots, or something more long-term.
Gen and fluff are favs. Any excuse to bring out his softer side.
Stories that are dark, light, or a mixture of both in tone. I'm not picky with this.
-
Not interested in romance at this time, but that could change! As long as it happens organically and isn't forced. Note that the permissions state physical contact is a-ok.


PLAYER
I am not consistent with my tagging speed. Some days are boomerang days, while others are 1-2 tags at a time. I'm a uni student, so my schedule is kinda crazy.
Feel free to reply here and/or pm this journal if you're interested or have any questions/ideas. I always check dw inbox notifications :)

hello yes did someone mention gen and badassery? :D

[personal profile] grogus 2022-02-15 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
hi!!! please, yes. did you have anything specific in mind? or a timeline? i'm so happy to log in and see this omg
seenitbefore: (listening)

[personal profile] seenitbefore 2022-02-15 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
right off the top of my head I do not, but I am here for all the brainstorming! these two make such excellent foils with their assorted horrifying backstories.

we could do something pre-series if you want to stay canon compliant for now, oh god December is going to joss me into the stratosphere, or if you'd rather stick with up-to-date Daddo I can AU Cassian in a variety of ways depending on what we're going for! Are you wanting more of an action plot, or a platonic slow burn?
grogus: (Default)

[personal profile] grogus 2022-02-17 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
Brainstorming is good!! Apologies for my delayed responses. My schedule has been nutso this week. I've seen Rogue One once, but I admit I don't remember a whole lot about it. Have to watch it again! Just based on that alone, I'd say maybe sticking with Din's canon would work in terms of brainstorming? I'd actually like to watch Rogue One this weekend if I have time.

For action plot/platonic slow burn/etc. I am truthfully down for any, or even a mixture. I am not exactly an expert when it comes to writing action lmao but I am open to it and I would absolutely love to improve (part of why I chose to pick up this character).
seenitbefore: (receptive)

[personal profile] seenitbefore 2022-02-17 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
no worries, I've been all over the place myself! If you want a watch buddy, just name the time; I am always up for canon review. :)

let's see... maybe Din needs help with something sneakier/subtler/more respectable than his usual crowd can arrange for him? OR babbu wanders off/gets In Peril and is rescued by mysterious shady dude?
grogus: (Default)

[personal profile] grogus 2022-02-24 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
A mysterious shady dude lmao I like both of those ideas. I think it would be neat to come up with something Din needs help with. I can write a starter, if you'd like! I wouldn't have one up until Monday though, since I will be out of town for a few days for work.

I'm so slow lol I swear I'm normally better with speed!
seenitbefore: (tentative)

[personal profile] seenitbefore 2022-02-24 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds good! I don't think anyone is at the top of their tagging game these days, least of all me, so I can wait :)

I've got an Inquisitor AU of this guy here who could show up for Grogu - not to kill him, but to take him to the Aing-Tii who will keep him safe. He'd also insist that Din go with him, because the Aing-Tii are able to teach some of their techniques to people who aren't Force sensitive, and right now Din isn't equipped to protect Grogu if something like Jacob shows up and chooses violence. Does that sound like something you might be interested in?

Also, I only have teenage icons on this account but Inquisitor!Jacob is actually a couple years older than Din. He was a Jedi padawan during the Clone Wars, and was 14 when they ended.

[personal profile] grogus 2022-02-15 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
hey, thanks so much for all this info :) I'm still fairly new to the star wars universe, so this is really helpful. I like it a lot, to be honest! this would be genuinely so neat to explore. I'll read up on that link that you've provided so I can learn more about the Aing-Tii.

Din isn't equipped to protect Grogu if something like Jacob shows up and chooses violence.
this will be a very good parent moment for Din!

are you up-to-date on Book of Boba Fett?
burnedchild: (Default)

[personal profile] burnedchild 2022-02-15 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
Yep, I just finished watching it! I was thinking post-BoBF would be the best time for Jacob to show up, especially since once he realizes the nature of Din and Grogu's bond he'll be determined to make sure they aren't separated. He disagrees with a lot about the way the Jedi Order did things, and because he knows Grogu (Jacob was originally a Jedi Healer, and because of how few people were truly talented at Force healing, he and Grogu would definitely have trained in it together), he wants to see him get the kind of chance at a better life that Jacob never did.

This sounds great!! My schedule is pretty hectic up until next Monday (Feb. 21), but I'd love for us to start as soon as you want. I'll just be a lot slower this week (as you can probably tell lol)
burnedchild: (Default)

[personal profile] burnedchild 2022-02-18 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
That's all right! I work this weekend so I'm going to be pretty scarce myself. Just sent you a DM with the link to the starter post I wrote up. Please let me know if there's anything you want me to change! Also, don't feel like you have to write a zillion words for your reply. It just ended up taking a few more paragraphs than I expected to explain what Jacob's been up to lol

[personal profile] grogus 2022-02-15 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
ahhh, it's so great to see grogu! I am absolutely 100% on board with this. there are so many possible bonding moments that we haven't seen, and I'd 100% looooooooove to explore those :D
