May 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.

hotd ( 🏠 of the 🐲 ) seeking canon/cross/etc

offering

[personal profile] sapphyre • Aemond Targaryen
[personal profile] valonqri • Daemon Targaryen
[personal profile] eglivys • Rhaenyra Targaryen

I have some other characters and some OCs and some WIPs that I don't mind whipping out now and then if there is interest. You can check out my current muselist here

seeking

Poking around for any other HOTD castmates around. Individual preferences for each character are listed in their respective journals. I would love to do some long-term PSL nonsense please. Shippy, smutty, and gen threading are all welcome.

For Aemond: I am currently hungry for Alicent or Aegon II (I have both listed under Aemond's guilty pleasure ships, but if that is not your thing I am more than happy to do gen threads) I also wouldn't be opposed to exploring Alys or Helaena (i've just seen some wild takes on both ships in fandom spheres so i want to make sure we're on the same page before committing to anything)

For Daemon and Rhaenyra: Admittedly I am a little rusty on both of these (rhae is still more in a voicetesting stage), but would like to try to get them out more! Happy to scoop up other Daemons, Aemonds, and Rhaenyras, Alicents, Harwins, Viserys, etc etc.

In general, I love doing canon-filler scenes, book scene interpretations, canon divergent fix-it/what-if, side-adventures, and afterlife/deathjars. I am a sucker for all the tropey shit, drama, angst, and loads of tension. The messier it is, the better.

Also totally down with other ASOIAF/GOT characters for some timeline mashing nonsense (i've had fun with cersei, sansa, and viserys in the past)

Similar med-fantasy genre cross-canon is also welcome if you think the dynamic would be a fun fit! (witcher and elden ring are faves, i also love threading with s&b ppl!)

etc


• I am in PST and can boomerang more texting threads but less so normal threads these days. Backtagging is forever.

• Brackets is the default, however I am fine with prose. I tend to try to match my writing partner in energy and style.

• My big hard no is non-con/sexual assault themes. I will not write NC/SA or want to do a plot that focuses heavily on the happening/aftermath/trauma of it all. Mentions of it in passing introspection or dialogue is fine.

• I would like to do a ~chemistry test~ in a meme first if we haven't threaded before. Especially when it comes to any cross-canon peeps.

• Please PM any of the above accounts for contact! I am willing to slip onto discord down the line to plot and scream about things if we happen to get on 😘

i'm not saying that daemon and rhaenyra are the mgk and megan fox of westeros but i bet this is how the greens see it

(ooc; i am happy to help you voice test but i don't believe we are meant to thread directly in the emp.

I have an open post if you would like to thread there or here are my current open top levels if you want to give her a shot at one of those c: )

I can offer Amalthea for some crosscanon fun if you're interested.

Amalthea is such a sweet bean for these no good, very bad Targaryens, but I'm happy to give it a shot! Did you have a preference as to who? I see you around on BS, so if there is also a meme you're leaning towards I can pop on in there :)

[personal profile] silverhorn 2023-05-21 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I love the innocence versus dark dynamics! I usually toss her her in quite a few memes, so if you see her, go for it! I'll do the same for you!

For sure! I know I've fallen off the wagon a couple times in our text threads, but I'm happy to shoot for a proper regular thread if you'd like. Were you still leaning towards Aemond or are you interested in Daemon?
starkmaiden: (Default)

[personal profile] starkmaiden 2023-05-21 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd love either you're feeling to write with her! And no worries, falling off happens. Life can be a pain, so I feel you.
