enablemeplz | March 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.

offering —

» Alice Abernathy alicefelldown — Resident Evil films, Extinction and Afterlife eras
A former Umbrella Corporation employee who failed to stop the T-virus outbreak that destroyed the world. She carries the guilt of that failure with her every day and does everything she possibly can to fight against the remnants of Umbrella while protecting what is left of humanity. She has a fondness for children, knows her way around weapons, and tries to find a bit of humor in the endtimes.

» Buffy Summers first_summers — Buffy the Vampire Slayer, post-s7
She who hangs out a lot in cemeteries, the original Chosen One destined to fight the forces of darkness and die a whole lot doing it. She's lived her life with the literal weight of the world on her shoulders and has a whole lot of damage from it that I would love to explore.

» Julia Wicker ourladytrees — The Magicians, s3-4 era
A strong-willed, stubborn, incredibly smart, and fiercely protective magician who tends to make fairly questionable life choices and doesn't really take no for an answer. She's been through hell a few times and has the emotional scars to prove it, but she's healing, and depending on canonpoint, she is becoming or has recently been an actual goddess. (Despite becoming a goddess, Julia firmly believes that gods are dicks and will appreciate others who share that view.)

seeking for alice—

» The Walking Dead characters because the worlds fit together so well. Just add a few mutated monsters or remove the more fantastical powers and you have the same bleak world with people struggling just to survive. My favorite moments in both canons are those of characters learning to trust each other and work together to make it through some awful situation, and there just wasn't enough of it in the RE films.
» The Last of Us characters for a fresh new kind of post-apocalyptic hellscape. Ellie for someone to look after and teach to survive; Joel for someone who understands failing to protect the people they care about.

seeking for julia—

» Negan Smith from The Walking Dead, later seasons post-imprisonment. Julia is the one of my ladies who would understand how a person can do such horrible things and then try to make a new life for themselves after they've changed for the better. I'd just really like to explore that dynamic a bit.
» MCU folks, either magically-inclined or interested in those who are magically inclined and especially those who have been through a bit of a villain arc like Julia herself. Of particular note: Loki (show era) would be intriguing because he's a "god" and thus Julia will have some Opinions about him while acknowledging he's not the same kind of god as the assholes she's dealt with, and Bucky Barnes would understand better than most what it feels like to carry the pain of what you've done and trying to make amends.
» Supernatural creatures, because vampires and werewolves and such are a thing in her canon, so let's throw some multiverse monsters into the mix.

seeking for buffy—

» Dean Winchester or Castiel from Supernatural for platonic or shipping things, and Sam Winchester for strictly platonic things. (Please someone let her big sister at the moose.) These canons and characters just work so well together and crossovers like these are the stuff RP dreams are made of.

seeking in general—

» Someone to weather the apocalypse with. These ladies are heroes and survivors who will do what it takes to protect others, even (sometimes especially) at their own expense. They're take-charge types but they'll possibly follow someone who is doing the Right Thing; antagonists need not apply unless they've turned hero. Apocalypse vibes to the tune of zombies, alien invasions, nuclear war, weird Death Stranding-esque conditions... Just about any flavor will work for a Suddenly Everything is Awful AU. Whether characters know what caused it or not, I love how these types of settings force people to confront the best and worst of themselves, and the bonds that can develop between people as everyday survival becomes a struggle.

notes —

» Rather than typing out an entire novel here, I've put together a sort of RP Resume to lay out everything a potential writing partner might want to know about me. Preferences, samples of my writing, a history of games I've been in...
» It's been a rough couple of months in my corner of the world. I really apologize for things I've spaced on, it was not intentional.
