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.

sailor moon; granblue fantasy

[personal profile] helisyon 2022-05-16 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
⋗⋗ offering
Sailor Moon: Helios
Granblue Fantasy: Eustace
muselist



⋗⋗ looking for
Helios: CHIBIUSA. MY KINGDOM FOR A CHIBIUSA!! Really just interested in fluffy ship things and can be done either during canon Dream Arc or post/future for reunion arc AUs. But while I am searching for a Chibiusa, I also wouldn't mind any cross-canon AUs!

Eustace: Ilsa or Beatrix for ship preferences, but I'm open to other canon characters or cross-canon! For both Ilsa and Beatrix, exploring past relationship is always fun.



⋗⋗ scenario preferences
For AUs, here are my favored scenarios:

bodyguard/protector or master/servant: what starts as a casual relationship deepens into something more, going through potential adventures and/or dangers due to the nature of the setting. They could be deeply loyal or just a hired hand. Could even do a kind of Princess Bride kind of theme. Most of my guys fit the bodyguard/servant role, but I'm always game to try and make a flip! This "category" doesn't have to be strictly as listed, other variants with that kind of "'A' following/serving 'B'" will work, too. You can better believe I'm all over the "sacrifice"/"take the hit" type of scenes.

canon au or role reversal: the usual, such as alternate events or endings, what if's, post canon, ten years later, etc. Role reversals can be pretty fun, too, especially if polar opposites. Really good for fun, simple "meme-type" scenes.

au settings + adventure: I'm open to a lot of alternate au settings, like feudal, modern, high fantasy. Canon world mashups are also a lot of fun, as well as using rp game premises or base off common fairy tales. The only type of setting I'm not that keen on are sci-fi/space. I personally prefer the "fantasy"-esque settings since it opens up a lot of fun adventure and world building possibilities. General questing, big huge plot, figure out as it happens—it's all good.

opposites attract: or that's the best I can think of how to call this. Basically playing with contrasting personality types since most of mine are on the "mischievous, roguish" side. I tend to have fun success when playing off those who are the exact opposite, and this kind of works pretty well with the "master/servant" scenario, too. I mostly like these since it's a great and fun opportunity for some interesting character and relationship development with each side influencing the other in some way. One becoming less reckless and the other opening up more—that kind of thing. It doesn't necessarily have to be just personalities that are clashing—social status and "roles" work just as well!

rivals to friends: whether it's the same personality or different. Imagine, two rival thieves, spies, assassins, whathaveyou competing with one another only to one day have to actually help each other. And cue the deepening relationship or occasional flings that turn to more.

demons vs. angels: kind of incorporates a lot of what is already mentioned, so this is just more of a "specific" kind of scenario. So, yeah, kind of what it says on the tin: one is the "evil, demon type" and the other is the "nicer, angel type." OR for fun twist, reverse it—"nice demon" and "evil angel." In any case, I have characters that could fit in either role (mostly demons hah), but I won't lie I wouldn't mind playing the nice guy for once... But for some more scenario examples: helping protect/heal the "enemy," forbidden trysts, sacrifice oneself for the other, changing sides or losing powers to become humans, sad endings, etc. Again, a lot of these could also be used in the other categories.

themes: Gen, fluff, angst, adventure, slice of life, mystery, hurt/comfort, minor horror, age gap, smut (except Helios); pretty open to a lot of things. I also like a lot of cliche shoujo romances lmao.



⋗⋗ general preferences
⚜ Canon or cross-canon is fine!
⚜ M/F for shipping
⚜ One time scenarios are fine, but long, drawn out, multi-scene stories are my jam, especially when it has deep character development both for the individual characters and their relationship
⚜ Medium tagging pace (at least once a day)

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.

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.

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.

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!
