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.

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

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.

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. :>

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] somebadnews 2022-07-15 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
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!
