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.

It's no worries! RL happens! I got busy too and holidays and all that! I'm totally down and I don't mind writing starters either!

SHERLOCK HOLMES @ RYSLIG

[personal profile] detectivision 2023-02-22 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
[game]: Ryslig
[fandom]: Sherlock Holmes (any!)
[game's current cast]: Sherlock Holmes (Chapter One)
[who I play]: It's me, I'm the babyholmes
[wanted]: Anyone from any adaptation! No matter who, it would be fun! Would kill for a Watson, would love any Moriarty or Irene to get into competitive nonsense/eyeing his refusal to cooperate with the game's corruption arc with!
[game info]: Everyone knows this is the obligate cannibal game, yes yes, but it's really good for deep dive character studies and examining what happens when a character ends up in a no-win situation. Holmes himself has been having a truly terrible time over the last few months and is still convinced that his "rip to you but I'm different" approach will lead to him not committing cannibalism (his time's up in March or April), but various events have put him into a mindless state and led to his hands committing murder anyway. He's acting as a coroner, currently, trying to determine who exactly he has killed, in an attempt to set personal ghosts unique to Chapter One to rest. It's a delicious setup and I'd love for some castmates this 23-year-old baby version hasn't met yet to throw a wrench in the works!

As far as tone goes, it's absolutely horror, but there's space to goof off, too (holmes has been assigned catboy by the fog god) and there's a little bit of flexibility regarding outright murder, not to mention a ton of freedom to make up and use your own NPCs. Feb/March test drive is here and game info/master nav post is here! I'd also be more than willing to lend a hand regarding the setting, since I've been here with one guy or another for going on three years.

Dragon Age: Inquisition

[personal profile] inachinashop 2023-02-22 04:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Offering:
The Iron Bull

Seeking:
For in-canon things:
Inquisition companions, mostly. Dorian, Vivienne, Krem, Solas, etc - if there's a character he fought with who you think he has an interesting dynamic with, hit me up.

For AUs:
Anyone. I love AUs. AUs are a great time.

Preferences:
I need a solid plot to work off of. I've found that without it, threads tend to turn into mostly small talk and trying to figure out how to turn that into something that keeps things interesting for me without a plot to move things on to gets stressful. Are our characters going to clash in some way? Is there something they can work toward that would give us something to do? I have some random ideas here if you need something to help get the brainstorming started. My pace varies from, at the fastest, a few replies a day to once every few days to occasionally slower, but as long as I know you'll get back to me when you can I'm good with whatever.

Shipping:
I mostly ship Bull with Dorian. I'd be open to exploring it with a character whose dynamic with him I'm already familiar with, like Vivienne or someone. Otherwise I'd rather lean platonic and let anything romantic and/or sexual develop naturally.

Sorry for the delay, it's been a week!

Awww I do love me some high school AUs for sure. UST is totally my favorite and I can definitely see it in some cutesy high school AU. I probably just read too much shoujo manga but my goodness, Zelda sneaking to watch the [insert sportsball here] practice and her friends catching her to loudly tease her over it and Link catching wind of it sounds stupid cute.
adurable: (took an arrow to the knee)

[personal profile] adurable 2023-02-23 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
not a problem!

I love shoujo, no such thing as reading too much of it! but I get you, it has shaped many of my favorite ships and some of the things I look for in said ships lmao

aaaa that is super cute! she's here.... he's shy and Zelda is so beautiful he doesn't know what to say to her to start a conversation..... Link's teammates also nudge him during practice like "hey that rich girl that's always in the labs has been staring at you, Link." he turns to look and then idk. revali just domes him with the sportsball when he's not paying attention. he swears it's an accident!!! he has to be taken to the infirmary. zelda offers to help etc etc they're finally forced to talk to each other

[personal profile] wildbloom 2023-02-24 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
UGH. That's so stinking cute. If you like I can bang together a starter and throw it somewhere. I'm open to all your other ideas too, I'm just real weak to cuteness, haha.
adurable: (this is my good side)

[personal profile] adurable 2023-02-24 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
I would love that! just link me here or in a pm, whichever!

lol I'm perfectly happy with anything zelink. if you're feeling the cuteness that's cool with me! we can talk about doing any of the other stuff when it comes to it :>

i'm so excited to see tilly!! she was one of my disco favorites. you might be interested in checking out expiation? [community profile] expiationlogs it's a sci-fi/fantasy game, and there'll be a new tdm going up on the...27th, i think. so far, apps are monthly. there's a good mix characters so far, so she might meet some sci-fi buds along the way
discotech: (003)

Thanks! I'll have a look and keep an eye out for the TDM!

STRANGER THINGS @ INTHETARDIS

[personal profile] plagued 2023-02-25 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[game]: inthetardis @ ij
[fandom]: stranger things
[game's current cast]: dustin, eleven, & nancy
[who I play]: eleven & nancy
[wanted]: steve, eddie, & robin
[game info]: basic premise is that the tardis is desperately looking for her long-lost doctor and is seemingly pulling in characters from various universes along the way. there are plenty of things to do between world-hopping and monthly events.
adurable: (hyan)

[personal profile] adurable 2023-02-25 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
\o/ looks great! can't wait for them to be cute together....

[character offered]:
Lumine - Genshin Impact
Ritsuka Fujimaru - FGO/Fate
A cute OC guy
Could consider others like Cardia Beckford, Phantom or Enkidu from Fate, Djeeta of GBF, or probably some random character from a fandom I like that happens to be available in a game
[fandom]: See above
[rp you're offering for / rp type you'd wanna play in]: Mostly looking for a game to play in, wouldn't turn down a PSL if it's a fun ship or interesting AU to explore. Smut and ship is a given, but interesting plots and complex AUs, and chances for the characters to shine and do cool feats are also interesting and don't require the former.
As for ships though - Lumine, Ritsuka, and Djeeta are all pretty much 'into men but not attached to anyone, so any male canonmate is fine'. Cardia I'd be interested in any of her love interests other than Lupin. Alternate characters based on the same people Code:Realize characters are based on would also be cool though. Enkidu and Phantom would just be hard to romance at all, but I suppose you could try?? If it's about shipping or smut, I'm as open to crossovers with that as I am with just general CR.
[preferences]:
* Medium or fast paced games would be preferred, I usually play with a bunch of activity in a short period of time due to my availability, so a game that always has something happening would fit that best
* A game that at least allows sex/nsfw to be played out is a must, 18+ smut friendly/based games would be preferred, but the theme and tone of them I'm indifferent to. Could be horror, fantasy, or whimsy. Or apocalyptic. Those are fun
* Would greatly prefer no power nerfing or enforced AUs or memory loss. Adding new memories and messing with the character's head, however, could be intriguing.
* Low to no AC requirements would be preferred especially in smaller/slower games. With faster games I might be able to handle a harder AC req, though, especially if there's castmates around for pre-existing CR.
* Events that have a focus on the silly and outrageous happening to the characters rather than always just dark and serious plots would be good. Especially if it's a smut game, one that actually has events designed to be smutty would be great.
* If there's a big focus on events in the game, having a system that auto/randomly pairs up characters to ensure everyone gets a chance to participate would be a big plus
* Castmates would be great, but not a dealbreaker if they're not there.
* For the OC, obviously an OC-friendly game
* Any genre is fine, but different characters will fit in different genres better. In the case of basically all my characters other than the OC, if it's a smut game then I strongly prefer there to be systems in place that heavily and actively encourage sex rather than just a passive 'you'll die if you don't'.
* Any genre except a murder game. I'll never be able to keep up with one of those.
* Easy canon updating would be a perk for the ones who have incomplete canons.
* I've never before joined a game with the intent to play out a specific ship, but you know, I also wouldn't be opposed to it if that's what you're looking for from me.
