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.

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.

I just wanted to say hello because it is so good to see some AOTs again! (i say like i didn't just crawl back myself)

We met recently when I was goofing off on tfln, I only play hange here but if theres anything you ever want to do please let me know! I'm around!

l o o k i love hange to pieces, so happy to see them!! 🙏 and hey, i have not just one, but two ~lovely titans~ for them to hang out with. great success? great success!

but seriously, i'm very down to thread! are you more interested in reiner or bertolt, do you think? they both have meme trackers pinned in their journals if any of those top-levels appeal, or i'm down to brainstorm something different 👀

i love them both and you are right, titan people and titan lover what could go wrong

I suppose the question would be if you have preferences on canon points to play from and if you wanna do more canon type settings or sprinkle some AU in there I don't mind either way!

hmm, good questions! i'm honestly down for just about anything, but hmm, something more specific… 🤔

with bertolt, it could be interesting to do something canon-adjacent where things went a little differently? say bertolt ends up working alongside the people of paradis instead of, y'know, /gestures! since 'reiner needs help' is a ridiculously easy way to motivate him, maybe reiner fully forgot that he was a warrior, so bertolt agreed to cooperate/help paradis learn about titans in exchange for reiner's safety. and who better to learn all about titans than hange?

or, if you want a more antagonistic/tense situation, maybe the shiganshina battle ended in the capture of either/both of them instead of death, or something similar.

(^ or if you'd prefer reiner's side of either of those situations, can do!)

with reiner, i default to pre-timeskip, but can do post if you prefer (his icons just won't match). i'm good to explore 'missing scenes' in canon, what may have been happening between these two off-screen, that sort of thing. it could also be fun to do something outside of canon! first thing that comes to mind is a the last of us-style journey to do some Important Thing that only they can accomplish. but genuinely, that's just the first thing that came to mind, i'm down for all sorts of aus.

lmk what you think!

oh i love that idea oh him working alongside in the end, like you said if reiner forgot, the deal is poor bertholt signed up for doing all the Weird Titan Shit ™️ since provoking Reiner with something he doesnt even remember about himself is... problematic.. 🤔 we can do it in kind of that period where they were under suspicion but end up cooperating / before a whole mass of people end up getting killed lmfao

i also like the reiner idea too though, we could easily juke it because aot is about characters straight up having Not A Good Time™️ so its easy to through Guys at Situations. But AU works... titan loving scientist.. zombie loving scientist.. disease loving scientist.. kaijuu loving scientist.. basically Hange No 🤔 it just works!

Anyway at the very least rn if youre good with the plan i can find one of bertie's TLs to tag! We can honestly do the reiner thing too if you want to im open to both :D

yesss that time period sounds great for bert & hange! if none of his existing top-levels work please just lmk, i'm happy to set up a psl & write the starter for these two ♥

and i'm also very open to doing both threads 😂 it's 2023 and attack on titan hours!!

hmm for the one with reiner, i had a thought! maybe hange is like, The Only Scientist crazy DARING enough to have fully investigated kaijuu, aka titan-esque creatures who have popped up all over the globe and devastated humanity's normal way of life. cue hange needing to travel to spread their knowledge! and cue reiner, who had like … idk, some kaijuu experiment done on him so he gets ~fancy armor plating~ minus the massive size? bodyguard and mad scientist times, mayhap???

just saw your tag and it looks amazing!!! i'm so excited for these two! 🙏 also no worries re: availability; mine can be very sporadic & i may disappear for periods as well, so i'm always down to backtag ♥

/fistbump, we're both living our best aot lives and i love that for us. i'll set up a starter for reiner & hange within the next couple of days and pm you the link!
