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.

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.

hornblower + bridgerton (benedict specifically but all are welcome) / austen / regency general

[personal profile] usethecompany 2023-04-09 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
offering:
Archie Kennedy of the Hornblower television miniseries

looking for:
This is my first time posting to one of these. But basically I woke up this morning with a particular need to ship Archie and Benedict Bridgerton and so I said to myself, be the change you want to see in the world. So I'm resurrecting this muse in hopes of finding someone who wants to try throwing Benedict against him.

That said, I know there are some Hos and Bushes out here, as well as others who might want to play against Archie. I don't have very many specific desires there. I'm open to a lot and enjoy a variety of storylines. I wouldn't want to do anything far removed from his canonical timeline (Napoleonic Wars / Regency / that sort of area). Change of setting from mundane to magical is fine as long as the trappings are the same. I play Archie as leaning heavily towards men, but I am open to shipping with women depending on the woman. I am also open to gen or shippy or absolutely filthy threads.

I would prefer to play the happier side of Archie. He comes with some trauma that we can dig into should the thread(s) progress that way and we feel like it, but his death is not something I want to play with right now. In that vein, being secretive about a relationship is fine and lovely, but I'd rather not do any outright terrible homophobia/biphobia.

notes on me:
- I'm coming back from a fairly long break from RP so I'm kicking the tires and knocking the dust off.

- I am EST located and work remotely, so when work is slow I'm available all hours and when it's not, it's tough.

- I can boomerang if timing works out, but realistically I would probably expect 1 to 4 tags a day from me. I want to tag every day at the least.

- That said, I don't hold others to my own standard so I am more than okay with thread partners taking much more time to respond if they need to.

- For Archie, it would be prose only, not brackets. No preference on present/past tense; I usually mimic whatever I'm given.

- PM the journal or reply here. The journal needs serious cleaning up which I intend to work on. Like I said, this is a resurrection.

I've got all sort of Bushes and Hos for you. :''')

I mostly play from the books, but in this house we love Archie Kennedy the most, so if you want either of his buddies (including to chitchat on the side about his hot new friend Benedict) I'd be excited to throw nonsense at you. ♥

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.
