May 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.

A short term plot heavy game that isn't a murdergame.

[personal profile] allenwalker 2022-05-27 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
[character offered]:

⭐ Allen Walker ~ D.Gray-man (manga canon)

[preferences]:

✔ Slow-medium pace
✔ Dreamwidth only
✔ Castmates are appreciated but I can do without
✔ Easy AC - really don't need 50 threads going after two months
✔ Interesting plots are a plus
✔ Horror games are cool too
✔ AU/Memory Loss games could work

❌ Sex-based games - Allen won't do well there. Sex-friendly is good, though!
❌ Slice-of-Life games
❌ High School/University/College games
❌ Strict power loss - results in the loss of an arm so... 💀

offering

vi ⇢ arcane

looking

⇢ I’ve been really wanting a trashy-smut thread with Sevika lately, that touches on their history and damage with one another. Could be a simple hate-fucking or enemies-to-grudging-respect dynamic. I’m open to discussing a bunch of stuff for this one.

⇢ I would love to do a gen thread set shortly after s1 with Viktor: I’m really interested in what a friendship would look like between these two aka two Zaunites trying to fit in Piltover society, how their upbringings influence them, etc.

⇢ Always and forever down for Jinx threads. I would love to explore a "Vi went with Jinx and Silco" or something along those lines for a dark!vi scenario.

⇢ Crosscanon always welcome, but only f/f for shippy and smut stuff. I’m also a sucker for AU scenarios, the wilder the better.

notes

⇢ I’m EST and free after 6pm weekdays, 18+, bracket & present tense preferred. Pace-wise I am on the slower side & love backtagging. If all that sounds good tho, lettuce chat 🥬

An AU game. Or even just the option to AU characters into the setting. Not sure if it would be "popular" but it's definitely an unfilled niche in DWRP.

That's a great idea for an au, makes a lot of sense with hzd lore.

I have an open post for her here, a comment in the texting meme here, and i could easily top-level her in another meme, if one has caught your eye! I've got a list of some of my favorites on her information page in her journal.

As far as where to start timeline wise, I am fine with either one! if you decide to tag me in a meme, assumed cr would be best. For her open post, I think starting at his reactivation would make the most sense.

KHR!/VARIA @ PENANCE!

[personal profile] sharktrash 2022-05-29 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[game]: [community profile] penancerp
[fandom]: Katekyo Hitman Reborn!
[game's current cast]: Dino (currently on hiatus) & Squalo
[who I play]: murder shark doo doo doo
[wanted]: Xanxus especially (I thirst), also Belphegor and/or Yamamoto, and literally any Varia member from any timeline would be loved!! Also Hibari. The rest of the gang is always welcome, too.
[game info]: Penance is a horror game set in Hell. It deals with all seven sins (and lust is a prominent one, so yeah, sex-friendly and characters must be 16+) and the main theme is on redemption versus corruption. Characters are told that they are here to repent for their sins, which can range from serious crimes to arbitrary misbehaviors. From there on you can focus on them genuinely trying to repent (with the promise of eventually going home), or embracing their sins and going native (10000 sins sound better than 10, even if it comes with a new set of demon horns, doesn't it?)

There are monthly events, usually dealing with horror, torture, sinning and some more lighthearted options, and the TDM is considered game canon. There is also a loose overarching metaplot dealing with the balance of power between God, Lucifer and other rulers of Hell. AC is easy with just 8 comments required a month.

The new TDM is here, and you can check out more about the game on the navigation page!

Hey,

Not to bother you if you are still traveling, but I just realized I forgot to ask you something before I started our thread. Are we assuming that our characters speak a common language? I know you gave Alric’s country its own language as described in your journal, so I don’t want to step on your toes by assuming that Alric speaks another language as well, or by saying that Zhenya necessarily speaks Alric’s language. It might be simpler to give them a lingua franca to speak together, a language apart from their native tongues - but I’d be happy to play out a marriage in which they start out literally unable to understand each other, instead! Which do you prefer?

I did describe some prayers being said by the priests that are to be repeated by Zhenya and Alric in our starter, but I can change that so that Zhenya doesn’t know the language well enough to repeat the prayers, if you’d like.

No worries, you’re not bothering at all! I’m back from traveling and mostly recovered; got some long overdue tags out yesterday and hoped to handle a bunch more today but no dice... still might manage when my stomach stops scolding me for nomming too much sugar... orz

Kaitheny is pretty darn influential in international trade and scholarship in its own setting, so it often does serve as something of a Lingua Franca, partly because Kaitheny has way more shared borders than most nations and several smaller nations are former Kaithenian territories that broke away during periods of declining Imperial power. Kaitheny is deliberately evocative of both Rome and England during periods of ascendancy, including in terms of cultural influence. That said, there’s a good chance Alric would know at least some Infernal (or whatever her people call their language) as well, since he’s got a Classical Serious Nobleman Education, in case there are any gaps in her Kaithenian.

Hopefully I’ll get a tag out in a day or two, and sorry about the delay!

SO, I KNOW I MANAGED TO MISS YOU ONCE BEFORE BUT....

I apparently forgot to change the e-mail this account was attached to back in the day, so never got the notifications. On the off chance that you don't... hold a grudge over something that happened almost a year ago now.

Sheepishly this is me volunteering to try again now that I actually should get email notifications this time.

[personal profile] helisyon 2022-06-01 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
Oooh I remember!! And it's okay I figured something came up so no worries at all!

I am definitely still interested and I just watched the new movies (finally) so this is wonderfully timed.
neomoonrising: ([Other] Take time to smell the flowers)

[personal profile] neomoonrising 2022-06-01 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
Plus now we've got Cosmos on the horizon? It's a pretty good time to be a fan. I'm interested in seeing how they adapt Stars considering the pacing.

Oh good! I really am sorry though, but I can try to make up for it now. I should probably re-watch the movies. It's been a little while now.

Now we just have to figure out what we want to do! Exciting times to be had.
helisyon: (☄ 86)

[personal profile] helisyon 2022-06-01 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
Right? I had some trepidation with how the movie adaptation of SuperS was going to be but I was pleasantly surprised that it worked out to be on pace with the manga. There were some things cut out and nothing will ever beat the cute scenes from the 90s anime lmfao but all in all it worked for the allotted time!

I'm open to anything really! At the heart of it all I'm just itching for any kind of fluff between them, be it during the original arc or set in the future.

NGL I've always wanted to do a future arc AU, especially for their reunion. Or take an angst route with Helios being incapacitated because of what happens during the Black Moon arc. I'M OPEN TO A LOT OF THINGS so if you have anything in mind I'm game!

(and we can either discuss here or take it to PM whatever's more comfortable for you /o/)
neomoonrising: ([Happy] Really? That's great!)

[personal profile] neomoonrising 2022-06-01 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
I will be honest, I do prefer the 90s anime to the new anime canon. I love the manga, but... pacing wise for an anime it just doesn't seem to work for me. (Though I do prefer things like Rei being much less jealous/catty and Minako being more Actual Leader of the Inner Senshi and less fangirl. So maybe my ideal canon mixes them all together. lol)

I don't remember if I managed to mention it last time, but I'd originally been working on a split-timeline idea. The Good Future AU where they reunite and while it's complicated things work and it's all okay. And then the Bad Future AU, in which... she waits for years and years and years and eventually snaps and turns Dark and decides she'll just tear the universe apart until she finds him. Basically. (They even have matching usernames. Neomoonrising and WickedMoonSets.) It's only a very Rough Idea because I haven't had anyone to brainstorm with or play anything off of it.

I'm fine either way. Switching to PMs is fine. It's 3:34 am my time though, so I probably won't be around for too much longer.
helisyon: (☄ 81)

[personal profile] helisyon 2022-06-01 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
I FEEL THIS AS WELL I wish it had been longer but given what we did get I can't complain too much either. Plus more icon fodder.

But both those timelines sound right up my alley so I am good for either! I'll PM you since this will probably get lengthy lmao. And no worries, go sleep!
