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.

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.

seeking
for the overwatches: an Ashe for my Cassidy or a Cassidy for my Ashe! Fighting, being forced to work together, flashbacks to the good old days, or romance are all totally up my alley. Additionally, for Cassidy in particular I have a great PSL with a Sombra and I would love more because I def ship it!

for mary: I adore the idea of exploring Mary's life post-P&P's ending. At 19, she still has plenty of time to grow into a more well-rounded adult without the vanity of her own accomplishments and jealousy towards her sisters. Ideally I'd love to play off any of her sisters or a possible male suitor. I'd like to stay to the Regency-era setting, so if you have such a character in mind we can find a location where they could interact. For romance, I'm very into the idea of her starting out looking at marriage as a sensible, practical situation she should do but throughout the course of the PSL she comes to understand how her sisters were able to marry for love as her heart starts to turn in that direction too. Throughout it all, Mary will still be Mary: trying to sound smarter than she is and think she's talented when she's not. But with outside influences she may gain some needed self awareness. Any character from a late Georgian/Regency era canon would be welcome, including OCs!

for persephone: After watching OSP's excellent video essay on Hades and Persephone I would love a Hades to explore the darker side of Persephone with. Based on the fact that she's a possibly older character than Hades and a terrifying figure I like the idea of her taking her role as the Queen of the Underworld very seriously and basically freaking out anyone who sees her except Hades. Any type of Hades would be wonderful to play off of: from a sweet, gentle guy who keeps her from terrifying the masses to a guy just as scary as she is, I'd be willing to explore anything. And it can be an ancient or modern setting too.

for the vestige: This is the MMORPG protag you play in game and as I'm not playing much anymore, I'd love to RP out shenanigans with somebody. Ideally with anyone from The Elder Scrolls franchise and I'll make her time travel if I have to, but I'm willing to drop her into another world too. For context: she's a Dark Elf Nightblade (shadowy assassin who uses life steal magic) who has taken on pretty much every Daedric Prince at this point and really needs a vacation. But why not play out her getting into trouble with somebody else? Maybe she falls through a rift into another world or your character comes to hers.

for joric: Dealing with the emotional fallout of losing control of himself and the damage he might cause. Also him trying to regain pieces of the man he used to be, which was far more carefree, fun-loving and happy than the depressed individual he is now. I also have an Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim version of him I can play. I have a real soft spot for the big, scary warrior falls for one tiny healer lady trope and I will always be up for playing that out in a million iterations! So magical healers are extra loved for M/F slow burn romance.

for vesperina: a traveling companion as she searches for answers about magic and how to control it/remove it. It could be someone who can train her, or someone seeking answers too. A quest for something that's mutually beneficial? I would enjoy exploring Vesperina's growth from fear at what she might do to confidence as she begins to understand her magic and control it. Naturally, having a character who is capable of anything is way OP so I would love to sort out with an RP partner what kinds of things she could do, how often, what effect they would have on your character, etc. And I'm conscious of the fact that Vesperina's side of the story could easily be overwhelming which I wouldn't want! I want to explore what the other character is going through as well to make sure we're both enjoying ourselves. This could be either a canon character or an OC. I'm good with anything as long as you can see them bouncing off each other well on a road trip.

extras
tropes I love: sharing a bed, sharing body heat, arranged marriage, historical au, slow burn, fake relationship
where: I'm good with museboxes, character journals, or bakerstreet memes.
contact: I can be reached via PM to this account, a PM on Plurk at [plurk.com profile] fairandbright, or on Discord at cosmic#2520.

I have this lady and another fantasy healer that might work out with Joric? They're both OC's, so I can absolutely tweak their backgrounds to fit better, and I'm more than willing to hash out deets. Long PSL's and world-building through memes are my jams, and fantasy stories are right in my wheelhouse. <3

That sounds good to me! He's in desperate need of a healer. Want to send me a PM with your character's info and we can figure out where to go from there?
