February 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.

God, I haven't played this doofus properly in ages but yes, hello, I am a total and complete doofus that contemplates these what-if scenarios all the time. (I have more than just this kid, he's just the quickest one to work with.)

I recently came back to poke here and there when I can. I was surprised when I saw a Brynhildr rper, as I also rp her myself. However I adore the sisters just as much, and the opportunity to have them interact has been a great want of mine!

We could always do a silly meme on bakerstreet that is simple and easy! Theres tons to do, maybe them haggling their sister to try out one of their Dating Simulator games. Maybe even just talking deeply about them to her, or maybe even a memory of the past? Maybe getting her ready for a date with Sigurd, except they are tsundere for their 'Brother in Law' so Thrud is always commenting on him in some poor way.

Maybe an AU of them in a modern verse too!

FINAL FANTASY IX @ AUSTICE

[personal profile] finalbows 2023-02-14 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[game]: [community profile] austice
[fandom]: Final Fantasy IX
[game's current cast]: Vivi, Kuja.
[who I play]: Kuja.
[wanted]: Zidane, Beatrix, Garnet. Anyone else from the cast is also super super welcome I will SHOWER CASTMATES WITH MY MOST FERVENT ADULATION
[game info]:
Austice is a smaller, short-run (about a year, of which we're 1/4th in) mystery game with horror and memory loss mechanics. The focus is on character development, and on exploring what makes a character who they are. Your character shows up in a mysterious town that's beset at night by fog, when the buildings start to waver like a bad trip and strange monsters appear to... stare at you, mostly, but try not to lock eyes with them too long.

There's investigation mechanics for pursuing the plot, and memory loss, beyond the changes made when you first app in, is generally up to the players to engage with further as they want; changes are reflected upon a personalized gem you arrive with. Be sure to keep it from breaking! You'll die if you don't.

Austice is an invite game right now, so if you're an interested FF player, my invite for the month has got your name on it!!

As for what I've been up to, um. Well, I'm trying to simmer Kuja in a pot of feelings until he finally steps up to be a responsible father. Also he tried to end the world again but he prommies he won't anymore.

The Last of Us

[personal profile] notathreat 2023-02-14 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Offering:
Ellie | The Last of Us | I play from game canon, but I'm open to playing off characters from the show or using show canon to lift things from where it doesn't conflict. I can play Ellie from any canon point, and I have a younger journal at [personal profile] tonsofpun

Looking For:
- Long term psls! I'm okay to dick around on Bakerstreet but long-term stuff is where I thrive
- Canonmates or crosscanon. My heart for a Dina, Joel, Abby or Tess in particular, also eager to hook Ellie up with women across the multiverse
- Stuff set in TLOU-verse by default but if I'm familiar we can work something up (Arcane peeps wya give me a Jinx or Vi holy--)
- I'm shipping/smut trash. Messy relationships, toxic bullshit, unhealthy codependency, please I'm reaching out with both hands let's make this problematic
- I also love gen, especially if it involves mentor/mentee, found family, hurt/comfort and TLOU-centric traumabonding
- I like emotionally fraught stuff, both for my character and for Ellie navigating others' issues with varying degrees of success. Combat and action threads are beloved but not required. Ellie is an emotionally driven person with some very selfish and self-important tendencies who tends to latch onto people hard and not know what to do with those feelings, and has a nasty relationship with violence, so buckle up
- Give me Ellie struggling to work on things with Dina post-games. Give me an AU with where Joel dies and Tess is the one bringing Ellie across the country. Give me post-canon Ellie finding a young teenager who desperately needs her help to survive and having to navigate everything from Joel's perspective. Give me Ellie and Abby being friends or rivals or teenage dirtbags together, or realizing that they are both inches from death and the only way they're getting out is together, and also they fuck, please
- Bring me your own homegrown requests

Notes:
- I prefer prose to brackets. Sometimes my tags are around two paragraphs and sometimes I'll write you a novel. I try to tag at least once daily but you can get boomeranging sessions out of me esp. if it's intense
- Permissions

tbh I have been eyeing Joric from a distance in Ximi and I would love to try out any one of these PSL scenarios between him and one of my magical ladies (if not Yen, possibly another?) — and bonus: I am salivating over all of these tropes, quite honestly, so I would definitely be interested in chatting more about it via DM or Plurk PM or wherever!
crisantemo: (not even death will escape them)

[personal profile] crisantemo 2023-02-14 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
awesome~ nothing like bonding over being dead but also not really

hmmmm... how about first meetings, then after seeing how they mesh we could skip ahead to hurt/comfort things? lapis is Big on being the comforter side, so hurt/comfort is definitely her jam once she gets to know someone.

Hello! Re: your Omina character I can offer Peretur Paladr Hir who is a version of Percival from the Holy Grail myth, from the book Spear by Nicola Griffith. I'd love to write her and The Amazon as comrades or as enemies (and Per hasn't had a lot of experience with enemies before, so that would be interesting to me personally haha) skewing toward becoming friends/lovers later. I can tell you more about her (I haven't written any info up in her journal yet) if you're interested.
phite: (strength)

[personal profile] phite 2023-02-14 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Yo! IDK if you'd be interested in something like this but if you'd like to play Joel off of a Seraphite kid I'd be down :) I can also offer Abby and Lev but I'm keen to bounce Yara off of Joel's must-protect-sixteen-year-old-girls vibe lol
yearofthehorse: (8 | and it's time to rise)

[personal profile] yearofthehorse 2023-02-14 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Hello there! That sounds extremely intriguing and I would love to hear more! You can either PM me at this journal or, if you have plurk, friend me there and I will friend you back asap. Thank you for your interest!

[personal profile] shittybirthday 2023-02-14 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Yooooo! Thanks so much for reaching out!

Straight up, I'm not one bit familiar with anything DC, outside of the occasional mainstream film I've seen, so I hope that wouldn't be an issue? But I do love superhero themes/tropes, despite not being big into superheroes. Most notably, I'm into the morally ambiguous, potentially shady and questionable sides to superheroism and tying that into themes related to my character (if that makes sense lol). As for your OC, I'm open to it if I think the character would work with Joel! I'd need a bit more info on them first, though.

So hey, I'm down! If I see your characters around bakerstreet and the meme strikes inspiration, I'll be sure to hit you up! Or vice versa if you see my Joel around and inspiration strikes. Let's play around and see what sticks. And no dramas at all if it doesn't click.

Thanks again for reaching out and responding, I really appreciate it!

[personal profile] shittybirthday 2023-02-14 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
YO. Oh man, I have never considered a Joel and Yara sitch before... and I am INTO IT. A heads up that I haven't played TLOU2 in ages because my ps4 bit the dust and went to red light of death hell, so my recall of TLOU2 is a bit hazy in parts. But hell yeah, I'm so down!

And if you ever feel like throwing Abby at Joel, too, please don't hesitate to do so. I'm here for it!

Feel free to hit up my Joel on bakerstreet if you feel inspired to by any particular meme, OR feel free to shoot me a message and let me know what things you're looking to play out.

Thanks so much for reaching out! Stoked you did!!!

First meeting sounds good! Do you prefer prose or brackets? I can set something up either tonight or tomorrow. Could be fun, if he's curious about Hawthorne. Margot wouldn't immediately admit to being there, but dancing around with what she knows happened.

Masters of the Universe // Victory Road

[personal profile] behindblueskin 2023-02-15 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
[game]: [community profile] victory_road
[fandom]: Masters of the Universe
[game's current cast]: Keldor
[who I play]: Keldor [haha]
[wanted]: Evil-Lyn|Evelyn is something I'd really like to find, but just about anyone from the MotU franchise would be welcome [like Filmation!She-Ra and family members].
[game info]: Do you like pokemon? Have you ever wondered what it'd be like if your favourite characters were transported to the world of pokemon? Then you're in luck! Victory Road is a place where you can realise just such a dream. Here your character can become a trainer and catch and battle pokemon and gym leaders to become a champion, become a breeder and raise better and stronger pokemon, or even join Team Rocket to cause trouble [and make it double].

If this sounds enticing then come join Victory Road!

[The current test drive meme is here if you're interested.]

OFFERING: Keldor [Masters of the Universe]

SEEKING:

[Note: I've been out of the RP scene for quite awhile, and only got back around the summertime, so I don't yet have a full list/idea of what I prefer/do not prefer. Also, these aren't all hard-and-fast yes/nos, so don't worry if your game/PSL doesn't include everything here.]

- No power/memory/possessions loss [powered down is OK]
- No humanisation
- Creaturing is OK, if I can choose what kind, and isn't permanent
- Sex-friendly is OK, I guess, as long as it's not mandatory, or other forms of intimacy are allowed as substitute [I only ship this character with Evelyn|Evil-Lyn, and he's loyal to her]
- CRAU-friendly
- Medium-paced
- Not really into horror
- SOL is fine
- Simple AC requirements
- Medium-sized games are OK
- Has a network

It's really up to you! I'm honestly a sucker for your whole roster; I think they'd all find a respective niche in the game, since they're all pretty adaptable folks.

AMAZING to see you. Jim muse is jumping up and down like an idiot, lol. He'd love to meet George in a TDM or meme, and similarly would love to meet any of your others too.

I used to play Picard, Archer, Worf, and the Voyager EMH, but it's been a hot minute.

Anyway hi!!

Hey! I would be happy to throw these two together! If you see a meme that pings you on bakerstreet, lmk and I can try and pitch a related starter, or I can shoot some bespoke scenarios your way. Off the top of my head I got:

1. For a somewhat friendlier scenario we could do something during the timeskip, possibly a meeting/collaboration during an Undercity visit
2. For a less-friendly scenario, maybe an encounter while Jinx is raiding the lab?
3. Kind of similar to what I pitched above, but AU stuff! Maybe Viktor still works for Singed and they know each other that way, maybe he ends up with the Firelights instead, otherwise gets her attention etc etc.

If none of this speaks to you I'm happy to pitch something else! Just lmk!
