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.

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.

seeking
in general
— I'd love to find a long-term psl partner who likes to boomerang (when possible) and is big on backtagging (we've all got shit going on!). Huge bonus if you're also down for telling stories and creating 'verses that spiral out of control in a good way. I do love to ship so I'm all down for shipping. I also smut and love writing it out.

— Things I enjoy: taking a 'what if' and letting it spiral, body heat, trapped somewhere, fake dating, undercover as a couple, angst (but not too heavy-handed), missions/cases, and smut.

— Happy to get started on a meme, but I do prefer to do things off-meme in posts or a shared community.

for Wanda
— Looking to do some shippy things with Bucky, Strange, Thor, Pietro (and XMU's Peter), Matt Murdock, Steve, and anyone she has chemistry with. I'm a little curious about doing stuff with a Tony Stark. I'm also down for cross-canon and even comic versions of characters.

— I'm also keen to do things with X-Men iterations of characters, especially the Magneto fam.

— I'm happy to play Wanda from any point in the MCU timeline, although my preference is post-Civil War, post-Wandavision and either an au or post-MOM. I do incorporate some of the comics into her backstory and am happy to thread with someone who wants to throw some comic background into things. (I'm also happy not to.)

for Bucky
— Looking to do some shippy things with Natasha (always!), Sarah, Jessica, and Yelena. I'm also down for cross-canon and comic versions as long as there's chemistry.

— I prefer to play Bucky post-TFATWS. I incorporate some of the comics into his backstory and am happy to mix some MCU with comics if my thread partner's game.

— I'd love to do something with the Red Room as a background, especially with Natasha.

for Yelena
— My kingdom for a Kate Bishop to do some long-term shippy things with! I also enjoy Yelena with Peter Parker (Peter 1 and Peter 3), Thor, and Bucky. I'm also keen to do anything with a Natasha (gen or shippy). I'm down for cross-canon and comic versions of characters, too.

— I prefer to play Yelena post-Hawkeye and freeing the Widows. (I'm big on doing missions with her.)

for Inej
— Looking to do some shippy stuff with Kaz. I'm also down for doing shippy stuff with Matthias, Jesper, Nina, and any other Grishaverse character she has chemistry with. I'll never say no to crosscanon.

— I primarily play her from book canon, but I'm happy to mishmash the show into it or play strictly from the show. There's a lot I'd like to fix and I'd love to explore post-Crooked Kingdom, too.

for Kaz
— Looking for Inej to do some shippy stuff with. I'm also down to ship with Zoya, Alina, Genya, and any woman who can take him being a ray of sunshine in stride.

— I play him predominantly from bookverse but am happy to mishmash with the show.


info
— I'm on AEST and work 5 days a week. I'm a medium-paced tagger who backtags and doesn't expect thread partners to be available all the time. I do love boomeranging when the stars align!

— I'm happy to do brackets or prose. I have no preference.

— Happy to plot by PM or Discord, but I'd prefer to start out in PM. c: I have a few ideas and am more than happy to brainstorm. I'm someone who likes to start with a vague idea and let things spiral instead of plotting everything out to the minute detail.

— If you're interested, please pm one of my accounts. ♥
