May EMP Meme

[enablemeplz]

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!

The knowledge will only be used for really egregious problem cases.

I'm curious what sort of fatws era AUs you're interested in exploring, because that's right up my alley. I ship stucky pretty heavily but I've gotta admit, I'm not so great with smut so I tend to avoid it. Sounds like our tagging turnaround time might be similar.

[abide]

When I've dabbled around before it's more of a 'Steve never went back and passed the shield on' sort of thing, with a variety of outcomes. Retirement? Never heard of her lmao But I'm honestly super flexible when it comes to that + AUs, and it'd be kind of interesting to explore more stuff as far as serum experimentation, etc. goes. I just like to use that as a baseline and sort of build from there because having a world suddenly fully populated again would be something to get used to for him.

And no worries re: smut! Sometimes, I can bang it out pretty quick and other times I'm mostly just like EH so shipping them in general would be a lot of fun for me (and I haven't actually gotten to write it in a long while too). Gimme all the gross old guys holding hands and being sweet at each other.

What sorts of things would you be interested in doing?

[bustincaps]

lmaooo yeah... Endgame sure was a hoot, to say the least. I could never buy a guy like Steve retiring either, again to say the least. tbh I can't remember much about the serum plotline in the show, except that John Walker took it and went off the deep end 'cause that scene was hard to forget. I'm definitely overdue for a rewatch...but exploring half the population + Bucky suddenly coming back to life sounds really interesting to play around with. Angsty, but interesting.

I'm rarely quick, I'll warn you now. I get too wordy for my own good, but if I can reign it in, that helps. But yay, I'm glad you're down for all the gross old love~

I'd also be interested in playing around with Bucky trying to make amends, only it might take longer than like 2 weeks for him to accomplish. I think Bucky has a tendency to try to push Steve away (you think, self?) and I think he'd go right back to doing that unless there was a good reason not to...which could be where the gross old love comes into play? idk I'm not much help hahaaa

Would you prefer to toss them onto a meme first? See if we can work out an angle there, or would you prefer to narrow down a specific PSL? I could go either way. I've seen your Steve around so I'm just excited to play off of him.

[abide]

I hear you, haha. I definitely think I need a rewatch for a refresher, but generally, I just wing it like everything else. Angsty but interesting is my jam tbh, and what you mentioned about playing with Bucky making amends sounds like it'll be soooo good. Because he definitely tries to push Steve away and sometimes even puts him on a shelf like they didn't grow up together and crawl through the trenches smh (Don't worry. Steve is gonna knock some sense into him somehow!)

Don't worry about being fast. Sometimes, I can be a huge snail, but like I mentioned in my ad, I do try to at least reply once a day if I'm able!

But hmm. I find it easier to use some basis of a meme for something that might kick stuff off, but I'm also good with either. Are there any memes up currently that look interesting to you? Or should we hash out some things for a specific PSL? I'm very excited to get started (and clearly undecided lol)!! ♥

[bustincaps]

We're all just out here winging it hahaaa. It's my jam too, but I also like some comfort to go along with my hurt so hopefully we can pepper that in too here and there. I'm glad you like the idea of working in the amends! Bucky was just trying to put his head on straight and that's really hard to do with Steve around okok (but yes good please do)

I'll try not to. <3 I can manage once a day for a stretch of days but sometimes it's a few days. I just always feel like I need a disclaimer, some people are so dang fast! Dunno how they do it.

That sounds like it helps to narrow down the possibilities. The only meme I'm seeing with potential right now is Calming Presence, if only because it made me think of Bucky coming back onto the battlefield for some reason, but of course we could spin it another way. Steve could easily be the calming presence for Bucky too. Really depends on where you'd want to go canon divergent? I could also see what you can never have also working... Any thoughts there? (It's hard to decide! I want it all! ♥)

[abide]

That's the fun of RP! Just getting to explore stuff c: And it would be nice to ease into something and see how it works out since it's honestly been TOO LONG for me re: writing them as friends + a ship.

Seems like we have a pretty similar tagging style though. Occasionally, I can be quick to reply, but other times, it's usually just once a day. Or, like you said, once every couple of days. Just depends on life.

As far as memes go, I do kind of like the idea of the calming presence one. Or, if you wanna really live it up and be crazy, it looks like the RNG meme just went up a bit ago. I do like the potential for interesting scenarios from that. If you'd prefer me to start, that one might be easier for me to get an idea of what to do/where to go/how to wing it lmao But I'm super open, so just let me know!!

[bustincaps]

True, true~ We can definitely ease into things, and if at any point you're not feeling eased, please let me know. I'd still be on board for threading if you wanted to drop the shipping part jsyk, if that's making you nervous about how long it's been. (Honestly, it doesn't change how I play Bucky all that much... Steve is still the person he cares about most in the world either way.)

Sounds like it, hopefully that'll work to our advantage!

Not sure living it up and being crazy is conducive to easing into things ;3 but ngl if you're offering to do the starter, I'll shamelessly take you up on that. I'm open too so if something's striking your fancy on the RNG (save for the last section obvs), I'll follow your lead~

[abide]

Oh no! I'm totally good. I think my excitement is just like "you haven't done the thing DO THE THING" on repeat lmao but same goes for you if you ever need to step back or switch gears. I'm very much looking forward to it in general c:

Then I shall gather my brain cells and write us something soon. Do you have a preference for writing style? I'm usually a default to brackets type of person but if you prefer prose, I'm completely fine with that too. I'll see what RNG has in store and link you a thing when I do it!!

[bustincaps]

Gotcha, and boy do I feel that. Will do. <3 Ahhh me too! c:c:c:

lmao sounds good, hope you find them all! I'm also a defaults to brackets kind of gal so that'd be great. I shall sit and wait patiently and all good things shall follow, I'm sure~

[abide]

Hello, it's me! Returning after a million years lmao I threw up a starter finally, and you can find it here! Let me know if it works or if I should change anything? I was just winging it :')

[bustincaps]

lmao I would've waited a million more but hello, welcome back~ You wung it beautifully, though I'm a little worried I misunderstood the situation? So let me know if I did. (Also, sorry, I got a bit wordy! I'll try not to give you beasts every time otherwise this might really take us a million years lmaooo...)
