April 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.

Oh, very cool. I guess we really are both drawn to dark stories from NY.

I assume it does take place in NY, right? If so, I think we can do something either precanon. You mentioned strays, Ash is a gang leader who is used to taking on strays.

If you're interested in doing something more canon related, we could have them meet at an art museum. This could be accidental or even intentional since Cheng Jingsen might be someone Dino has an interest in, and Ash is trying to make sure he stays on top of Dino's plans. When not playing with other BF folks or not doing end of canon, I usually just have things going as they were before he met Eiji so he'd still be under Dino's thumb.

The Prophetess | Enderal: Forgotten Stories

[personal profile] dreamflowers 2023-04-11 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
Offering
• Jade (the Prophetess) | Enderal: Forgotten Stories

Preference
• Settings that vibe well with fantasy characters, which means probably no on any hard sci-fi games with high technology.
• Horror/dark fantasy would be great, but I'm also open to smut, exploration, mission, and plot-heavy type games, too. Iffy on faction-based games, but might consider it.
• Not interested in pure SoL, memory loss, or AU.
• Also not feeling very keen on any games that either completely replaces canon powers (unless power regains are an option) or transforms character appearances. Normally I love these things, but not really interested in them for Jade at this time.
• Fast to medium paced.
• Backtag friendly.

Other
• I've got most of the basic info of the character here for the curious.

• Open to Bakerstreet memes and PSLs as well.

hi there! I took a look today finally and I might consider it for another character a little farther in the future, but sadly I don't think it's quite what I want for Akira right now... it looks really neat though so I appreciate it!

YES I would love to, hello! I kind of died over the last few months, I'm sorry... totally would be down for starting something new or even hitting up that thread we had with Haru and Yusuke (I'm pretty sure I've done uh. nothing with her since I last tagged that so I can probably grab it pretty easily, I'm crying)

Hi! Very tempted to try some shippy things with Zelda and either this very much commoner street punk (probably either AUing him into a version of Hyrule or maybe an Urban Fantasy mashup kind of deal) or my original fantasy setting crown prince in either an Arranged Marriage Turned More or Courtly Love shirt if setup. I'm always up for worldbuilding and PSL plotting of you want to brainstorm first!

I honestly was not expecting to run into another one, and I haven't since Banana Fish so I was really surprised! Go figure!

100% it absolutely does. More specifics, precanon, Yin Han had been attending an art camp in NJ but was meeting with his future benefactor — a wealthy Chinese businessman — and his sister and mother at a fancy restaurant in downtown NYC. A bomb mistakenly placed in their rented car goes off when his mother and sister go back to the car, orphaning him completely. It leaves him with a visceral fear of heights (he'd been watching them run back to the car from watching it happen on the restaurant's higher floor. The homestay he was in runs out in 10 days from that time, and then the landlord takes him in (with her own vile agenda), but maybe, the person who planted the bomb sends his men after Yin Han in case he has anything to do with Cheng Jingsen (which he doesn't yet the irony to his knowledge), the actual intended target of the bomb. This would force him to leave, but still give him the information he needs to have his own singleminded goal (vengeance lmao.) I can be more plain with that if you don't mind spoilers!

Anyway, if Yin Han is on the run, it would be the dogged survival in order to see a mission through sort of thing, always tinged with the willingness to die as long as he can see it through first. He's 17 at this point, it's winter, and he doesn't honestly know how to do anything gang related. Any of that he learns later on in canon canon. Possibly Ash (and co) run into him running from one of Cheng Qi's (bomb guy and Cheng Jingsen's brother because of course he is) men.


If more canon related option, them meeting at an art museum is chef's kiss. Unlike Ash, Cheng Jingsen does't use Yin Han in gang orchestration or handling. He's much more of a strictly Kept person, to the point of being given a certain amount of time to be at the museum, with arranged pick-up and drop-off with a trusted driver. The most he uses him visibly/to show is eventually at a high roller card game but that happens probably later than we'd have them meet here.


TL;DR I am fine with either one, the latter being a subtler/milder/less dramatic entry into each other's views, but certainly having the capacity to have as much drama as the first option later on.


ALTERNATELY ALTERNATELY we can have a scene to the tune of option 1 and instead of going with Ash, Yin Han runs after being helped out by him/ saved. And THEN they meet again at the MET since it's free/donation based lmao and that could also work.

OHHH YEAH definitely I think this would be fun! I could honestly probably swing some kind of LoR-adjacent scenario if you want to play around with that. Anything in particular you're looking to touch on with her?

In the middle of my rewatch currently, but I'm absolutely here for any kind of shenanigans. The Benedict crack dream was what inspired me to post, but I love me some sailors (and watching Ioan stare at the horizon and force his way through that "how far we've still to sail as men" line just makes me want to squish Ho's face more in the rp sense). (I also want to squish Bush at all times, but that's a different story.)

I figure we can do some kind of meld of books and series? IDK. Hit me up in PM if you have any ideas or want to chat more.

I don't have any castmates to offer you but I did want to say that I've seen you posting around on memes and I'm just so pleased that someone's taking on Rebecca because she's fabulous. I want to throw one of mine at her but I'm not sure which of my voices would be the best fit. Muse list is in the journal if you're curious (plus Owen Hendricks who is from the Netflix series "The Recruit" I just haven't added him to the list yet).

But mostly this is just drive by ♥ ♥

I don't have a game to offer you (currently), but you did hit up three of mine in TFLN on Friday (Fabian, Tyrell, Rowan) and I wanted to say Baz is perfect. If you ever want to do anything PSL-shaped with him and mine (muse list in this journal), I'd be down.

I will note that Magnus Bane has canon history with wrangling young vampires who hate the fact that they're vampires, so that's also there as a specific.

[personal profile] youreflammable 2023-04-11 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh nice! It’s wonderful to meet you!

I had no idea! Do you play a Magnus? Because Baz is all about hating what he is and is still trying to cope with being a vampire/learn how to be one.
high_warlock: (Default)

[personal profile] high_warlock 2023-04-11 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
If you're ever interested in doing something PSL-y, I would offer Magnus here. I have been wanting to throw him against your Hob but whenever I see him in memes it's bad timing for me or I chicken out.

Magnus is also stupidly old (though he's a warlock) and I think they would make interesting friends for shenanigans. I also have others (no Sandman canon) that could work depending on what you're looking for.
high_warlock: (Default)

[personal profile] high_warlock 2023-04-11 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes! Sorry, I knew I should have made that more clear as I was leaving the comment. I have a Magnus and I would love to play that sort of story out with you/Baz. He has a relatively high asshole tolerance and will dish it back out when needed, but also is very caring.
youreflammable: (ff)

[personal profile] youreflammable 2023-04-11 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Awesome! I would love that sort of storyline, especially because in canon, he's usually too busy taking care of keeping his boyfriend from exploding to take care of his own sense of identity as a vampire.

Would you want to start something on like the random scenario meme for a first meeting? Or what would work best for you?
