December 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.

All mod responses regardless of whether they're rule breaks, correction requests (like someone posting in the wrong section), or thwapping someone for spamming copy-paste ads, have always been and will almost universally be public. If someone sends a PM and the conversation gets combative, this will also be made public and posted to the comments of the mod contact page. This is for the sake of transparency so people can judge the emp mod's communications for fairness themselves.

There are times where the player's post may be screened (such as if they posted to the wrong section) but the mod's response will be left unscreened.

Players may sometimes be allowed more than one strike for copy-paste ads since this is often just enthusiasm behind it, but game mods should know better. They'll get one warning for copy-paste ads, and if they spam anymore copy-paste ads after the warning, they'll be banned from the meme.

MOD CONTACT:

If there's trouble, tell me HERE, please!

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.

amc's interview with the vampire, the sandman, & the magicians / cross-canon is grand;

[personal profile] mobezon 2022-12-11 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
i've been on my kick with amc's iwtv so i'm just going to break down by character what i can offer and what i am seeking. louis is going to be info vomit the most, so here we go !!

» 𝙻𝙾𝚄𝙸𝚂 𝙳𝙴 𝙿𝙾𝙸𝙽𝚃𝙴 𝙳𝚄 𝙻𝙰𝙲, [personal profile] mobezon;
vampire turned in the 1910s in new orleans. he's a gay black man who has struggled with his sexuality and had an explosive relationship with his maker/lover. all the drama. permissions.

» for canonmates !!
claudia ; the "hey, sis" moment is staying rent free in my mind and i am here for all scenerios regarding his sister here and daughter all at once. they deserve to be in their feels, and i am open to anything post finale in paris. let's unravel the slow resentment and also just maybe try to be happy for once even if we know it might be doomed. or really, more moments during their "happy" years, with questions and just trying to experience the world. or the fact that louis struggles with his morality, and claudia is a lot like lestat in how she kills, in how she is, and he excuses it, and he loves her all the same despite all the murder.
lestat ; i am always happy to be loustat trash, and i have many ideas and scenerios !! some examples include what if claudia did leave on the train, and lestat let her go, therefore they would have to rebuild a strained relationship all over. they would probably have to leave new orleans as well. there's also some more au/canon adjacent tidbits to play around. truly, i am open to a lot with these two. i am shameless.
rashid (redacted, for spoilers) ; i really want to explore their dynamic and the backings for them. it's just such a fascinating concept, and s2 is about to be more batshit, but for now i am open to a lot with these two. truly, i am in it.
daniel ; i mean, sass his way pls. def down for shenans.

» for cross-canon !!
— i am greatly enjoying his gen interactions and maybe jacob is right and he should become a vampire therapist for all vampires, hear their stories, and just help them with their trauma. i'm here for it all. i've set him mostly in the he needs a few decades to himself post paris, so he's off somewhere with his books and trying to adjust to that. he can meet many folks of all sorts. i always find a way.
— canon melds that might be interesting include sandman, hannibal, hell even shows like wednesday where he's a instructor at nevermore. these are just examples on how off the wall i am willing to go because i love building interesting character arcs and stories. give me my gothic allure.
» 𝙳𝚁𝙴𝙰𝙼 𝙾𝙵 𝚃𝙷𝙴 𝙴𝙽𝙳𝙻𝙴𝚂𝚂, [personal profile] yirah;
here for any and all cross-canon and canon interactions. i'm still feeling him out. if there are any corinthians that want to be shameless with him, i am here for that too ngl. it's a guilty pleasure (yes, i ship it). otherwise, accepting all applications to roast him. great gen canon melds would be good omens and such. love all gen interactions from his siblings, friends, and companions along the way. would be intrigued by beings that are magic based, or just supernatural based characters or even characters that could challenge him a bit. permissions.
» 𝙴𝙻𝙸𝙾𝚃 𝚆𝙰𝚄𝙶𝙷, [personal profile] pendejadas;
still feeling him, always, so just throwing it out that if anyone wants to play around with a nyc magician that had become high king to a fantastical other world, then he's your boy. i am open to au concepts, cross-canon, ocs, and all that. love all canon interactions, and also just overall, i love playing him so hit me with any interest you might have. i also still have many ideas for him and can place in in all sorts of canon melds. permissions.
𝙾𝚅𝙴𝚁𝙰𝙻𝙻;
— slow to medium tagger. i can occasionally boomerang and find it easier with text threads. if the void does not get me, i try to keep threads going, but sometimes life happens. so if you like something, i am always eager to get back to it. i just get shy when too much time has passed. blank statement that dropping threads if you're not feeling it and getting into new ones is cool with me. i love building cr through meme threads and open posts, ect.
— open to shipping with all the above, be it canon or cross-canon. i love my gen as much as i love to ship. for louis and eliot, it's m/m per canon confirmation, and i like to honor it. for dream, it can be either f/m or m/m. i am a slow burn sort of person. willing to try it, and if it doesn't work out, then it's all good. i'm chemistry above all.
— original characters are grand !! i'm open to interact with any of my muses. i just ask there be an info post so i can get the vibe.
— i have a plurk if anyone is curious and we get on and thread, which you're welcome to add: [plurk.com profile] groovygenes. otherwise, pms are v much open!!

/Curious wave!

Hey, so I'm with you on the AMC's iwtv rush (just finished the series yesterday) and I have a need. So, um. I can offer you a crosscanon cr/psl in the form of Edgar Portsnel from The Poe Clan. Edgar is centuries old vampire that got turned way too young, so he kinda has similar situation to book!Armand. Personality-wise he's actually kinda good mix of both Lestat and Louis, lol. Meaning he's playful and kinda arrogant but at the same time carries heavy guilt and sorrow with him when it comes to his true nature as vampire etc. :'D

I don't have any super specific scenario in my mind but I would defs love to see how these two canons would interact.

[personal profile] mobezon 2022-12-15 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
hi! slamming this days later, but ngl this sounds like a neat crossover. louis can benefit encountering more vampires that will not be the theatre ones! might make him wary at first since familiar personality traits to lestat could make him pause (but also he can excuse them such as w claudia - these teen vamps). he might just be amicable with some build. repressed sorrow meet sorrow?? he has a way of having others listen, or want to be listened to. i’m here for more vampire interactions!

i don’t have a solid point, but post finale might be good? either in paris or somewhere in europe nearby france? i can easily fit him anywhere regardless, having taking a break of some sort to try and recluse post-paris? ooor he goes back to the americas. if there’s a specific region you prefer, i can fit into it! up to you! i can also offer a closer to modern take where he goes back to new orleans and tries to be on his own.

i have an open post if you want to hit it up, or if there’s a meme like the insomnia or rain one that peaks your interest (i’m posting there later). i can also write something up if you link me. i’m super easy.

Haha, don't worry about slow replies. My speed won't be much better.

Yesssss, I think it could be interesting cr (these two canons are very similar and were published around the same time, it's so funny to me). Edgar's originally from small rural area in Britain but he's always traveling so any country works. I can toss him easily to New Orleans. Which time period would you prefer? Edgar's canon kinda ends to 70s and the whole ending is very vague about what happened to him after that. But modern day works for me, I'll just headcanon stuff 😁

I'll tag you asap! I should probably mention that Edgar has a few different abilities than Rice vamps. He can stand sunlight just fine and absorb energy from roses that kinda keeps his hunger in check. He can't read minds but Louis is welcomed to it!
mobezon: (001 | future dwellings)

spoilers mentioned, just in case someone is chilling with a stroll here;

[personal profile] mobezon 2022-12-16 10:34 am (UTC)(link)
totally understand!! honestly, if they get along, having a vamp that can stand the sunlight will probs help. he'll have some of the basics like the fire gift, mind reading, ect. but, he'd be trying to keep to not using half the gifts that rice's vamps have bc he wants to retain "humanity". i suspect he has the cloud gift from feeding from armand, but he just does not want to use it (my theory for the current state of the show). of course, i limit the mind-reading, so unless you indicate a part, then he'll stay out. he might communicate to him that way, but not often. it's actually pretty neat, the roses thing!! he'd be curious.

i'll give you two options!! i'm digging the idea of edgar finding him alone trying to just be on his own. and boiii does he need some of it. for modern, he's decided to take a break from his situation in dubai will have occurred and he'd move back to new orleans. BUT, if you want to do an earlier time period, i can have him in a manor somewhere in the late 50s/early 60s in england. i also dig this idea of him just post paris having rejected/told armand he will think of his offer but needs time to himself. srsly, i am game with either appeal! as a side note, i usually default to brackets, but if you prefer prose, i'm cool with it.

[personal profile] hemovore 2022-12-16 11:35 am (UTC)(link)
Alright!! I think modern day New Orleans could work. In canon he's usually accompanied by his own bratty soulmate which could somewhat limit his interactions. Besides, it's always fun to have two lonely and miserable meet amirite?

I have info post about Edgar in this journal if you want to take a look. I try to tag you later today after work?

[personal profile] mobezon 2022-12-16 11:57 am (UTC)(link)
absolutely in no rush! pls take your time! i'm up at an odd hour, but also i have the day off, so weekend ahoy. gl with work, and cheers to hopefully a good day! ah the bratty soulmates. louis knows them all too well. but, yes, to this probably dramatic meet. i'll check out the info post for edgar for sure.

also, if you don't want to hit up the open post, i also put him up at the random scenario meme. whatever suits you c:
