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.

— yin han | new york memoirs

seeking + rundown:
canon, crosscanon, ocs, etc. medium does not matter. m/m for shipping. cr is a little tricky with yin han due to so much of his canon line being entangled with a man (high powered gang leader and casino owner) who keeps him more or less under lock and key. i've listed points at which there's some capacity (whether we're mashing our canons together or whatever.) there is one person who, early on, gives yin han his number and asks him to call him if he needs a way to escape from cheng jingsen and that's a thing that could be used too.

— if precanon: before cheng jingsen takes him in, there's a period of time in which yin han is orphaned that can be used in a canon-divergent way along the lines of the bs stray meme, and other related tropes. the loss of his family happens at 14 and "canon" timeline starts at 17, but this can be adjusted as needed.

— if during canon: for the most part, yin han is under cheng jingsen for the bulk of this, including such basic things as being able to go out on his own to the museum, etc. working this angle would have to be before yin han begins to feel complicated but sincere feelings for him, or after but when he's still trying to leave him (this may be most doable since in this smaller window of time he is living alone, apart from cheng jingsen.)

— if post-canon: gen, probably a one-off thread in an art gallery maybe during one of his exhibits. m/m if we went canon divergent and then there's a lot of free room for an actual PSL.

notes:
— yin han has a relationship with cheng jingsen that at the start is extremely unhealthy, imbalanced, and abusive. but his decision to go with him, to be taken in by him when offered, has less to do with having nowhere to go and more with his own agenda, which is a spoiler in and of itself. enough to say: yin han is not just submitting himself to all of it for the hell of it. he has his own intentions. to anyone on the outside it would look actually insane if they knew the details. to those in the circle of cheng jingsen, yin han is either perceived as his ward or his lover and sometimes both but not with any sentimental value attached (yin han is used in a final bet at a high stakes gambling table, cementing for others that he has not cracked the fortress of cheng jingsen.)

places someone could run into/meet him are limited but include certainly: the casino, an art museum in new york, on the street on his way to the predetermined car sent to pick him up lmao, or later in canon at his part-time job in a restaurant.

a skilled painter, yin han is capable of masterful forgeries as well, which might be usable depending on your character, what they do/want, etc. maybe your character or a client of your character bought one of his forgeries, and somehow traced it back to him?

17 at the beginning, 24 at the end.

new york memoirs is set in a modern world without magic or other supernatural things, but i'm very open to integrating that facet.

bs memes that would be usable: stray, captivity (more likely kidnapped as a way to get at cheng jingsen than for himself though), texting (misfires),
