March 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.

[fandom]: Resident Evil (video game continuity)
[rp you're offering for / rp type you'd wanna play in]:- Horror/fantasy/sci-fi setting preferred, but am open to other settings if they have strong world building and plot to go with it. (Already in Deer Country)
[preferences]:
- Slow to medium pace, low AC, easy app
- Must be villain-friendly.
- Back-tagging welcomed.
- Sex games/sex positive games considered if FTBing is allowed (Sometimes the mood for smut fades in the course of a thread).
- Mem loss okay.
- Preferred no nerfing, or powers lost can be regained.

OFFERING:
michael afton | five nights at freddy's

PREFERENCES:
small to medium size, dreamwidth only
slower pace, no AC prefs, backtagging friendly
no sex games or memory loss
adventure, fantasy, horror genres preferred over pure SOL, but SOL elements welcome
castmates a huge bonus if they exist but aren't required

notes:
obviously with being a FNAF, i'm looking more specifically for a game that would allow characters that are mostly made up of theories and headcanons. also preferably a place that will allow him to stay in his zombie-like dead purple man body, michael is pure body horror and i'm all for finding him an appropriate setting - or a hilariously inappropriate one to scare people - but would rather not have him get a normal human body right off the bat. welcoming any and all suggestions, even if they don't fit my prefs exactly! feel free to HMU here or send this journal a PM c:

[character offered]:
Grantaire - Les Miserables
Archie Kennedy - Hornblower
Susan Pevensie - Chronicles of Narnia
Caramelinda Rocks - A Crown of Candy

Could also be convinced towards a couple Harry Potter folks (Luna Lovegood or Sirius Black in particular, along with HP himself) and possibly Hera Syndulla from Star Wars.

[rp you're offering for / rp type you'd wanna play in]:
PSLs are grand, but would love to find a game if there's any that suit.

[preferences]:
-Preferably not smut or horror games (sex-friendly or light touches of horror ok if there's opt-out abilities)
-Character development opportunities would be lovely
-Slow to medium pace & backtag friendly
-SOL okay but would like a bigger overarching plot.

Leaning towards fantasy or maybe sci-fi vibes, but I'll take a look at anything once!

offering:
selina kyle, dc comics or the batman ([personal profile] catmasked)

preferences:
- small to medium-sized games are ideal, but not a requirement. mostly looking for something with a medium pace that is backtag friendly and easy to settle into. SOL elements, memloss, and sex-friendly games are fine. primarily interested in plot-driven games. DW games only.
- low-commitment AC requirements
- no preexisting BATMAN-related cast would be A+. (not a deal breaker, just a preference.)

[character offered]: Yoon Bum
[fandom]: Killing Stalking

[rp you're offering for / rp type you'd wanna play in]: I expect to have more luck with PSLs, but if there are games where he would be acceptable, please recommend! (I'm sure I've seen characters with worse canons/backstories around, but I'm still nervous about the idea of actually putting him in a game...)

I'm interested in exploring all three of his character arc options (up, circle, down), in other words I'd be down for scenarios where he:
- could do some healing, find friends, actual hobbies, discover something he likes and/or could be good at, and maybe even have a happier ending; or
- tries to get better, largely stagnates, maybe fails some normal friendships or relationships via creeping but salvages some others etc; or
- ends up tossed off the deep end again, more suffering, grimdark and questionable scenarios, might contain murder, cycle of abuse continues etc; or
- some/anything in between.

[preferences]:
- DW only
- backtag friendly
- straightforward AC for games (what i mean by straightforward is not counting a bunch of different kinds of points with values determined by arbitrary means, it should be possible to do by hand without fancy tables or a degree in mathematics)
- horror ok
- sol ok
- psls ok
- private games ok
- sex is fine, but not as the sole/main focus
- honestly anything i'm just really itching to play this guy

[character offered]: Aizen Sousuke
[fandom]: Bleach
[rp you're offering for / rp type you'd wanna play in]: PSLs, or slow/medium paced games with low AC would be preferred.

[preferences]: Looking for any type of game for him. But I do think he'd do well in games with some plot and something where he can mess around in the background (with permission from the mods) and not get immediately shut down for it. I basically just want to write him living his best life and causing problems as he does!!

- No power loss would be great - even if there is that might be even better because he's a conniving bastard
- Medium/slow speed - I work full time and am also in school so something slow-paced would be great
- Smut and SoL I don't think would be a good fit for him...but I'm willing to try it out??
- Canon mates aren't needed, but I wouldn't mind them either!
