July 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.

hey, welcome to dw! i don't rp from star wars, but i wanted to help you w a few terms that you state you aren't clear on in your prefs/basic info post.

fourthwalling = when another character breaks "the fourth wall" on your character, generally by informing them that they're a fictional character. threadhopping is the same thing as threadjacking, afaik, and it's when an uninvited third person joins an ongoing thread between two other people. it doesn't really happen on memes (see: bakerstreet) as much as it happens in actual games, so it's generally not sth you need to worry abt!

EXCITEMENT!!
I love Five, the old man who’s entire life has basically been the apocalypse, now stuck in a pubescent body is an entire mood and I love him. I really want more of him and Viktor, especially now that they’re officially bros. I’ve always felt like he and Viktor shared a special bond re: power and doom and would love to see that play out more. They’ve also both lost their better halves, even if Five’s was a mannequin. Who are we to judge, as far as we know she was totally human to him. That and whatever was going on with the Handler (who I love, ngl). Do you have a Plurk or anything I could add for chatting?
Thank you so much for finding me here. :D

Hey, welcome to DW! Just wanted to leave this link here. You can find a bunch of resources, including a "guide to dwrp" that can help you with the terminology and the like. Hope you have luck with those psls!

[personal profile] somebadnews 2022-07-15 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
Absolutely, yes! I adore any time they get a scene together, and I was happy to see Viktor is still Five's confidant. And that talk they have towards the end of S3 was one of my favorites. There's a lot left unexplored between them so there's all the potential to play out. I have many feelings!

(I'm also a complete sucker for Five/Dolores, I cannot tell you why but it's completely fascinating to me. I felt vindicated that he's still not over her for as often as I reference her in RP. And the Handler, I do miss their dynamic! Nobody does power plays like her.)

Thank you for letting me find you! I do have a plurk. You're very free to add me [plurk.com profile] lonesheep :)

I am casually browsing games to see what genres are currently active and exciting, but meanwhile, do you have any meme coms you prefer? Or any active TDMs that might be fun to hop onto?

Or PSL ideas. I am honestly open to anything except taking him backwards in his canon-point. But the beauty of this canon is that none of them are ever on the same page and that is totally normal and so nothing is even weird at this point. It's all just "pick up where we left off under [insert new circumstance]" and we're all just like mmhmm ok cool.

[personal profile] tinybadassbro 2022-07-15 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
Also these two legit look and act related to me and I adore that for unknown reasons. Like no one seems to talk about Five/Viktor power bro-duo or make fics and I'm like ok but why?? They're perfect??

[personal profile] flameinthedarkness 2022-07-15 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you Rook, heh.

I've seen a few still around, but seems quieter than it used to be, but I also don't go into the shipping based memes, so maybe I'm just not in the right areas. I am hoping we get more Diasomnia once chapter 7 comes out... though I still have never seen an Ortho around despite JP 6 done now, despite all my hopes to run into one one day, heh.

I'm more than happy for a range of stuff, either due to what the meme idea is, or other stuff based around TW game; dorm leader stuff, club stuff, based around events, etc. I won't go into details in case EN players see this, but with post chapter 6 I can see Idia being convinced to fix stuff for the Film Club and being dragged in to do that. I'm more than open to ideas and thoughts, and if I feel there anything won't fit either of them or not my jam, I would let you know :) And as much as I adore Rook (it was between him and Idia for me first starting a TW character account), I am not sure how well a thread with him and Idia would go. Or with Floyd. Both have a low tolerance for what Rook is like/capable of, heh. However, maybe I'll be surprised where a thread with him would go! So never say never on him either.

I don't have a sandbox/open RP thread set up for either of my idiot children yet, but that's an easy fix. Or I'm happy to play in a thread/location you would like. Lots of options.

[personal profile] somebadnews 2022-07-15 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, absolutely! I've been dying to explore them, it's been too long since I had a Viktor to bounce off of. I could throw them at any old meme on bakerstreet if you wanted to do a picture prompt or some such, or just an open post to play with! Wandering around post-S3 when Five should have definitely gone off with Viktor and not on his own, come on Five...

If you do end up wanting to put him somewhere, I play at Eastbound. It's an invite-only mystery/horror/fantasy game where the undead are a big problem, and arcs that have a lot of really great lore. It's very plot and individual quest-driven. We have Five, Allison, and Diego there. We have TDMs periodically, but there's not one going on currently. I can definitely keep you posted on that! You can read about it: here if you're curious. :>

Also re: Sad Story if you are: Viktor was the first sibling Five found there and he was very overbearingly protective and worried that the undead were going to be a whole thing that set his powers off. Then later on they found Klaus, but both Viktor and Klaus dropped at the same time when the city was being overrun with stuff. Five thought they were dead and was going to break time to get them back, but someone intervened and decided to erase his memories that either were ever there to stop him. Except he messed it up, and Five forgot Klaus was there, but he forgot Viktor ever existed.

Diego and Allison know this is a problem and Five is a bit of a mess about it since he found out, but presumably it will be resolved eventually! Just caveat I had to explain to know what you'd be walking into in the event that you're game shopping. :>

Oh I can definitely recommend some fics for you. There are some really great TUA authors that I stalk aha. And I completely agree!

sharkneto is one of my top favs off the top of my head. Their latest completed Viktor and Five-centric fic 'sometimes age comes alone' is about Five aging himself badly, and it's got some really great moments between them.

And one of the best if you want a novel, Holding It Together is massively great. They went back and reedited the entire thing to switch to Viktor's name after it was announced for S3. Writes Five better than I ever could, but very inspiring to me!

idk if you have any interest in any of the memes on bakerstreet right now??? (or the random meme i can just toss leo there and we can RNG to see what happens lol)

i love most AUs...i am very not picky, but anything to play into the knights/king theme would be fun!

I'm definitely hoping we'll see more Diasomnia once the next book starts rolling out, or when the EN version gets an event that features them more. I'm disappointed but not surprised to hear about not seeing Ortho around; I'd guess the potential Orthos would need to know there's Idias out there to play with to begin with.

I agree with the Film Club being a good way to get Vil and Idia interacting. Keeping things vague for spoilers and whatnot, Vil might think getting Idia's thoughts on certain things might be beneficial beyond fixing equipment. Then maybe ... friendship?? Idia owes Vil. Like, a lot. Shhh.

And agreed with Rook. I love him, but he can be difficult for ... uh, extended lengths of time.

If you'd like to set up a sandbox or something, that would be great. Another option would be posting to the Random Scenario Meme and we can continue hashing out something there before diving in. Whatever you're comfortable with!

getting maimed is also a skill of theirs either way they can enjoy the sad sad tears of a clown 🥳
flameinthedarkness: (Default)

[personal profile] flameinthedarkness 2022-07-16 10:36 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it doesn't surprise me we don't have any Orthos around. I have considered in the past turning this account into a twin one for both of them, so maybe a goal in the future if I can get Ortho's voice working for me.

omg you didn't go there...

I did set up a sandbox thread today on this account and will have a look around options for ideas. I also spotted you on the TFLN so will try and hit that up in a few days time once I am back from some IRL stuff I gotta get done. Let's start with that and see how things go, if that works for you.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

[personal profile] pawnswithlogic 2022-07-16 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Offering:
Spock ( [personal profile] pawnswithlogic )

Seeking:
* Canon, cross-canon, and OC's, particularly from science fiction genres.
* PSLs over private journal threads or memes.
* A good mix of humor, drama, action, and SoL.
* I'd love to really dive into character development and relationship dynamics. Having an overarching plot to nudge that along would be grand. Just like Star Trek has ridiculous shenanigans and serious moments, ideally I'd love to write with someone up for both.
* Platonic, het, and slash are all welcome. For the latter two I welcome romance to be part of a line but I prefer it not to be the only focus.
* Permissions can be found in this journal!
relentlessbeauty: (effortless)

[personal profile] relentlessbeauty 2022-07-16 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Considering how attached the two are, I personally don't see the harm of it for PSLs and memes. It wouldn't fly in a game, obviously, but if your RP partners are cool with it, why not?

Feel free to tag me even if/when the post hits 5k+! I can link to an overflow page once you've picked a prompt and replied. Take your time!

After a week at work that turned weirdly into drama, I am back! Funny you should mention Maurice because she’s currently going on a little mission with Nancy and Jonathan to see if they can find their irradiated three-eyed pony friend around the chapel somewhere. 🥺 When she finds out Dredge katamari’d him… She’ll be so upset!! She would team up with Steve easy. Anything for Maurice!!

DBD can be a lot of fun, especially when playing with friends! I play survivor when I just want to turn my brain off and play, then play killer when I have the energy to practice. Killer is muuuch harder and takes so much thought and strategy! But it’s also way more fun when the match goes your way.
