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
Shinobu Jacobs | No More Heroes 3 | rippedoff
30 years old. A former full-time assassin who is now a part-time assassin to fund her main job of running a dojo to teach some very young students martial arts and bushido. Straightforward to a fault, a no-nonsense kind of person who can be abrasive, but also runs by her own code of morals (and might be a bit of a buzzkill because of it). Questionable taste in men. Kind of a sassy, modern day samurai type. Has calmed down a little with age, but still has an undeniable competitiveness that flows through her.

Laughing Beauty (or LB) | Metal Gear Solid 4 | fuckinghysterical
Early 20s (but I generally play her at 21, probably seems older because she's had a Rough Life). A former mercenary/weapon-of-war trying to figure out what to do with her life as a civilian. Dealing with PTSD and depression issues, but really trying to Stepford Smile her way through it (but also she literally can't stop laughing). Can be skittish in certain situations, but generally outgoing and bubbly. Tends to get into more sexual relationships, because she can't drink or do drunks and she needs Something to get through her hot mess of a life. Trying her best to be good, but it's hard when her nanomachines make her feel Real Good during combat.

I'm not as confident in these girls, but I can toss them wherever if there's interest:
Angela Carpenter | Carole & Tuesday | industryplant
16-17 years old. A former model and child actress that's recently transitioned to music (she recently won Best New Artist from the Mars Grammys!). In spite of her young age, she has the confidence of a long-time performer, but that's because she's spent her entire life in the entertainment business and hasn't had the chance to actually have a childhood. Recently bounced back from the lowest point in her life and while she still has a drive to be the best in the business, she's also opening her heart a little to making friends. Might still be a little bitchy sometimes, though.

Tama | AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES - Nirvana Initiative | investitgator
The thirstiest AI in existence. Usually comes in the form of an eyeball, but also has a more human-looking holographic form too. Loves making dirty innuendo wherever possible and watching bad stand-up comedians. In spite of this, she also has big mom-friend energy at times and is a great boon to have in investigations. Prone to random bursts of yelling if she feels like she's being disrespected. Apparently a master of bondage!

LOOKING FOR:
SHINOBU
She's your girl for all the action-related things! Though I will say any PVP fights are going to take me a while, but that's what her canon is about, so I'm still open to it. But I generally like PVE more, like teaming up to beat some assholes up, or doing a rescue, or something along those lines! But otherwise, she can take someone young under her wing to teach them how to fight too.

Also down for more lowkey threads where someone else tries to get Shinobu away from her busy life to chill out or even party. She's a good "straight man" to comedic relief characters, she has like four games experience of this! Also down for shipping, but she's probably not going to go for anyone under 25 (maybe like 23 or 24 in special cases) and guys only. Her taste in men is canonically disastrous, so bring me all your hot messes for her to step on. She's probably morosexual, okay. Also down for eventual smut, but I prefer building up some CR first!

LB
I've played her so long that there's not really anything in particular I'm looking for here, if I'm honest! But she's just really easy to AU and throw into other people's worlds. If you've got a quiet, asshole type, she's bubbly and talkative enough to throw against them as long as they're not too abrasive toward her. Also works p well with morally gray types, as she's one herself! Or more heroic types that want to try to draw the good side out of her.

If you're looking for smut, she's going to be the easiest to thread with in that regard! She might be a little harder to get into an actual relationship, because of her issues (and feeling like she doesn't deserve it), but she can get there with some work. Open to men and women either way, but no one under 18!

ANGELA
Mostly looking for other entertainment business types here! Actors, models, other musicians are all good as well as anything else that falls under that umbrella. Would love to do a fake relationship thing to have some fun at the paparazzi's sake, or on the flip-side a secret relationship to try to hide from the media attention. Otherwise down to just do some kind of music collab or just a simple thread where she actually makes a friend.

Shipping-wise, she does go for someone probably in their 20s but I'd rather keep it under 21 (unless you're a unicorn that actually plays Tao) for my own sanity. No gender preference, because she just wants someone to love her.

TAMA
Honestly, she's mostly just here for silliness! But if you've got a character missing an eyeball, she's your eyeball-shaped girl if you want that 20/20 vision! Mostly just want to do silly adventures with her, but I'm also down to do something more serious with any castmates too.

Shipping is probably a no, unless you're Ryuki (and I'm perfectly fine with playing that relationship completely platonic too), but she WILL thirst over titties, tiddies, and femurs either way.

NOTES:
I do have a full-time job (and live 40 minutes away from my job too, so there's the commute), so I generally usually only have like 2-3 hours a day to tag (maybe less if I want to vidya). I don't usually boomerang, but I do try to get at least a tag done a day for threads. I have every other weekend off (and then usually the Friday and Monday before and after the weekends I do work), so I'm usually a little quicker then.

I have zero experience in actual PSLs and generally just tag whatever on bakerstreet, but I'm down to try PSLs too!
