August 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.

Hello!! I see your Luke over there, and at the risk of being incredibly biased, I'd like to offer [community profile] come_sailaway for your consideration...! It's a jamjar set on a modern-day cruise liner, and has some horror elements at its core, though I'd also say there's a pretty decent mix of humor and non-horrific events in its overarching tone as well! I currently play there with Jade here myself, and we have a prospective Tear who's interested in apping and is currently fielding some threads on the latest TDM. I also have a more detailed blurb about the game in this castmate ad I just put up, if you'd like to have a look at that!

I will say that the game may have one potential dealbreaker for you in terms of its AC requirements? Right now it's either "one open post/toplevel & one separate thread with 10 comments from you" or "three threads with three different characters at 10 comments from you apiece" per month, which I understand some folks might consider to be on the higher end of the spectrum. As someone who trends towards slower tagging speeds myself, though, I'll also say that I've found the playerbase to be excellent with backtagging, and many players make it a point to tag back threads at least once a day. Still, totally understandable if you find the activity requirements to be more intensive than you'd like!

And either way, it's always great to see more Tales folks around rp! Especially people playing Luke, ugh I love that boy....also I've just recently finally started playing through Arise (just got through with tossing Ganabelt out of Cyslodia & the mortal coil rip in pieces) and I already love Alphen too lmao, my man over here Trying His Best. ANYWAY thanks for reading through all this; if you'd like more details or have more questions to ask about Sail, I'd be happy to answer!!

Here it is!

If Susato tosses him on first contact, sorry not sorry in advance. |D I hope to see you!

ETA: Also, I realize I didn't mention her until now, but if you wanted to see how Dahlia fits, she would also definitely be welcome. In a dream involving execution, Susato sort of manifested her spirit, and it would be fun to give her some deja vu. :>

If you are still interested in the TDM, it just went live here! Figured I would toss you a link for convenience.

Thanks again so much for the consideration!

oh my lord that sounds hilarious tbh, I can just imagine all the shenanigans everyone would get up to, especially if drunk. I'm sure Dorothea was so exasperated, even though Lorenz surely meant well.

I'm also not super picky when it comes to pre or post time skip. if we want to do wingman stuff, we could potentially handwave some of the academy phase, since Dorothea's attention shifts from the idea of marrying money to finding someone who really loves her. maybe Sylvain is sympathetic after they've worked out the differences of their youth, and the army is full of eligible gents and ladies.

jean really would be out there like "but if you just explained your filing system to me I'm sure I could help..."

maybe she brought some dandelion wine with her as a gift for her hosts, or something to that effect? it's only polite, after all.

and ofc, you can add me on discord at mochi#1888 :)

so I have a handful of genshins I'm interested in testing out, including ningguang here, as well as jean, keqing, yae miko, and ei. if any of those would interest you, I'd be happy to throw around some ideas?
pillar: (Default)

[personal profile] pillar 2022-08-18 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
oh my gosh, all of them do... i would love to play zhongli with ningguang or ningguang with keqing! someday i'll make my yae miko account if you're interested in eimiko at all!

would you wanna hash out ideas on here or by pm? up to you! i'll start by asking if you'd wanna do anything gen, shippy, or smutty.
jadechambers: (Default)

[personal profile] jadechambers 2022-08-18 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
zhongli and ningguang (zhongguang?) would definitely be interesting, given their respective positions in liyue.

pm or discord works for me, and I figure we can start with gen and see where it goes? I'm perfectly happy to write shippy or even more risqué content, heh

NEED oh my god somebody plays Need XD That's amazing.

Two of my games would fit your criteria! [personal profile] modaccount is for Annexed, a sci fi/fantasy mission-based game that just got off the ground a few days ago and seems to be going strong so far. Includes a psychic bond mechanic which is required and a new-power mechanic which is not required.

And [personal profile] apocalypsehowmods is an eldritch horror game based on the world of The Magnus Archives, though you don't need to have listened to that to play (I didn't). There's monthly events with lots of actions to choose from and a small, varied cast. LCWs are very welcome, we've got plenty.

AH sorry it took me a hot minute to get back to this! i would love to play with you!! c:
all of your characters are a+ you have very good taste.

i'm around on bakerstreet a lot so you can feel free to hit me up anytime!

[personal profile] animal_sweaters 2022-08-19 11:34 am (UTC)(link)
Your Lumine is great. Yep, I've been tagging you already! Later on, I'm thinking of letting Childe out.

Playlists! I love making those for fave characters, and there's a playlist/song prompt meme on bakerstreet. I have 2 music playlists for Childe, so he'll be over there sometime soon, with 3 or 4 prompt choices and an option to wildcard it.

Thoma and Jean should get playlists at some point.

Bakerstreet has some good meme things, and so does fortanon. Those are the two meme comms I'm sometimes active at. Most of the time, it's either at my musebox or sixwordstories.

I do! I love her but she's pretty difficult to play because the physical dependence on others aspect is both a lot to try and reckon with and something I really enjoy and am reluctant to find workarounds for. I could take her with Nyara somewhere that does combo apps, I suppose.

Good to know! I've had a lot of people on plurk interested in Annexed.

everything looks great to me! so sorry for the lag on my end, i've had some plumbing issues to handle at home and it was my birthday this week, so i am all over the place. hoping to get back to this tonight and while i am not much of a hasher-of-details with rp, i will totally PM you if anything comes up.

No worries at all! Real life comes first, always. :) I'm just glad that you're willing to play with me.

I'll be travelling this Saturday morning, so there will be some delay on my end, but I should be back by the evening. Just so you know what to expect as well.

you have a gabriel? oh man
he is so underloved and i'm thrilled to see one still in dreamwidth rp

there's abraxas that has dean, castiel, jo harvelle, claire novak, michael, and lucifer at present but i'm also planning to throw castiel on the cursed and nightfell tdms when they go up.

would any of that interest you?

Yeah, that sounds good. I'm also not too picky about routes, so if you've got a preference then I'll defer to that. I know I've accidentally jammed things route AU more than once, so.

Best case we hit it off and have a handful of threads, worse case we don't get along and so it goes. At least that's how I look at it.

Oh! Also! I'm technically on holiday right now, and I've got some shit waiting for me when I get back to work, so if I don't respond for a bit: it's not you, it's that.
