enablemeplz | 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.

—I would adore castmates of any kind for any of the above
—cross-canon is incredibly welcome and fun for me; canon characters, ocs, fandom ocs, etc. my only preference is that the supernatural still exists/we merge canons in some way to keep some elements of both.
—gen only, not interested in ship; love friendship treated seriously and given heavy emotional weight tho! intense CR can be in either direction too; initially negative cr of the enemies-to-reluctant-allies style is great, especially for most of the above characters (who are either prickly, rude, or otherwise bad at being friendly).

—what I'm looking for is moreso in tone and style than any specific scenarios (although I do have tons of ideas just waiting to be used). I love emotional threads, even if they don't start that way; action scenes that showcase something important about one or both characters or their relationship to each other; coincidental meet-disasters while one character is Going Through It; interacting with a character's traumatic backstory repercussions, etc etc. I'm also good with lighter banter, bonding, and the like. Cycling through both over the course of thread(s) is ideal. RP for me is about exploring the fun, dramatic, trope-filled things canon didn't always get to linger on while it was telling its contained story.

—general beloved tropes: enemies to reluctant allies (and maybe even to friends?); slow burn found family; fire-forged friendships; intergenerational friendships; "only one bed" but shenanigans only/platonic, just silly; oops we're stuck in an elevator/etc/anywhere one of us finds traumatic and now you're watching me try not to have a panic attack; hurt/comfort; post-action bandaging up; bantering as we try to do something important and time-sensitive; breaking and entering except neither of them are good thieves; tender moments; fumbling of delicate subjects w realistic aftermaths; and many more

to the canon-familiar:
—I love exploring "what if"s, canon divergences/additions/changes, full AUs, the works. I typically prefer to play Jon specifically from s4 onwards and would adore s5 or post-canon things with him, too (we can discuss how we're interpreting that finale, if so). Fix-its, breaking-it-mores, just straight up toying with the timeline, I'd love it all.
—i read a fic once where Jon was a Hunt avatar and it stuck with me forever, so I'm also interested in that (or other avatar switcheroos) if anyone is interested.
—spoilers; I love playing Eric in an ambiguous "came back from the book as a guy with all his at-time-of-murder injuries" timeline, with him revived and blind/unable to be seen by the Watcher. I'd love the chance to explore that more, with castmates or not!

to those unfamiliar with this canon:
—if the above speaks to you at all, pls still hit me up! all 4 of them have at least basic info in their journals and I'm happy to elaborate on anything so we can canon mash away.

feel free to comment here, or PM me. I can also share my discord or Plurk, whichever is easiest to plot through!
