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.

Offering: Gintama | Toshirou Hijikata

Gintama is a pretty old canon by now, so for a quick introduction: Hijikata, based on the historical person of the same (family) name, is the Vice-Commander of the Shinsengumi, the shogunate's special police force in 1860's Edo - with a twist! The world of Gintama was conquered by aliens, so it's a mix of old traditions, 21st century amenities, and spaceships.

Personality-wise he's very lawful ~~but will turn a blind eye if the crime is too stupid for him to deal with~~, has a short fuse (meaning at some point he'll blow up on fussy/snooty/annoying characters, even if they're royalty or similarly important and he's supposed to cater to them), a badass swordfighter who'll defend innocent people tooth and nail, and easy to rope into dumb shenanigans if the person asking is kind!

Seeking: I'm up for PSLs, be they one-shots or long stories, and memes (the only ones that totally stump me are texting memes)! Canonmates are dearly loved, but given that they're a rarity now I'm mostly looking for crosscanon adventures. I enjoy AU-ing him into other worlds, be it "He was born and raised here as an [insert canon species and occupation]" or "Oops, a samurai fell through a wormhole and now he's your problem". Or your character can end up in Hijikata's Edo, of course!

Gintama characters are suitable for getting AU'd since there are plenty of canon AUs already. You'd like to do some high school stuff? No problem, there's a canon high school student version of Hijikata (and a fanon teacher one)! You're into mythical creatures? There are two canon youkai designs of him (crow tengu and oni)! You'd rather have a sleazier film noir kind of atmosphere? Have the detective or host version! Your character is from a cute kemonomimi world? Hijikata's endearing bull version has you covered. And the list goes on... of course classic DW memes like vampire- and/or werewolf AUs, or parodies of existing works, are also very welcome!

I don't have a personal wishlist in terms of plot, but the more specific your ideas, the more I'll kick into (co-)worldbuilding overdrive! I'm up for any kind of dynamic - friendship, romance, enmity, cameraderie, more complicated stuff (including darker dynamics with dependencies - be it on money, protection, drugs, or whatever else, and either way around). I'm also good with sex and violence (the latter happens plenty in canon already)! In terms of shipping M/F and M/M are equally welcome - oh, and if you'd prefer Hijikata female I can supply that too (but you better like big girls then)! I love playing with OCs as much as franchise characters.

I'm in Europe (GMT) and usually don't manage to tag more than once a day (sometimes less if work kicks my arse), but on the weekends I can sometimes boomerang! I can only really do brackets and present tense (I tried past tense, but keep slipping back - I don't mind if you use it, though)!
