June 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.

MOD CONTACT:

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.

offering
Cal Kestis from Star Wars (Jedi games)
preferences
• I would love to play around with star wars folks from any era! Timelines schmimelines we can pretend the Force works however we want, time travel is on the table because I say so. I've watched most Star Wars media that's on Disney plus (gotta catch up on some animated stuff still) but I'm also down for Legend stuff even though I'm not as familiar. Alternatively, has anyone read the High Republic stuff? Because I just started and I would be so excited to tag with literally anyone from the era.
• Open to all types of characters from any canon, and OCs! I'm down for AUing or smashing canons together or just making up a jamjar to PSL in so please do hit me up if you're even slightly interested haha.
• I love shippy threads! I also am into action/adventure and atmospheric horror. Willing to dip my toes into any genre though!
• I work 3rd shift so my tag times are usually between midnight-9AMish Central time, and I won't be there during most people's boomeranging hours.
• I don't have a plurk at the moment but I'm on Discord at crissyphus if you want to chat/plot more privately! (PMing also works.)
wishlist
• Jedi games folks! Anyone and everyone! Would be especially stoked for Merrin, Trilla, Bode and Dagan, would love to do either shippy or gen with all of the above!
• Boba Fett: Boba had a really fun cameo in Survivor!!! I just want more so bad haha
• Din Djarin: What if instead of dignified post-ROTJ Luke, Mando got cursed with chaos gremlin Cal when Grogu played telephone with the Force? WHAT IF (or literally any other plot, I just love The Mandalorian so much)
• Reva Sevander: No time travel needed, Kenobi and Survivor take place in the same year! I loved Reva a lot and I feel like she and Cal would be really interesting to bounce off one another, especially post-season 1 for her.
• Rey: Scavenger/Scrapper solidarity!! They both struggle with the dark side and want to fistfight the Empire(/First Order). Idk I just adore Rey and would love to tag with one.
• Kanan Jarrus: because Spiderman pointing at himself meme
• Starkiller: I don't really have a good reason for this one I just think it'd be fun and I have a huge nostalgic soft spot for the Force Unleashed games.

So excited to see a Cal! I haven't had a chance yet to play or watch scenes from Survivor but that is top of my list ASAP. Would love to do things with these two, though, if you're interested!

[personal profile] kestis 2023-06-11 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Absolutely, I love Merrin!! We can definitely play around in the immediately post-JFO zone until you've got the time for Survivor (and however long you want after tbh I also love playing JFO!Cal)

[personal profile] starscollapse 2023-06-12 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds great! I'm down for anything post-JFO. Could do something right after the first game maybe with them? Happy to hit up your open post or tag you in a meme if you've posted him anywhere!

Time Travel is canon, baby!

I have played Survivor (and only watched story edits of J:FO), but I care not about spoilers, if you would like a padawan is some capacity!

Oh my god I can't believe I spaced the world between worlds episodes. Clearly it's been too long since I watched Rebels and I need to revisit them haha (I should do that before the Ahsoka show comes out anyway)

But yes I would love to thread with Ezra!!

[personal profile] ezra_of_lothal 2023-06-12 02:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Is there a particular angle that you want to go with?
provenforce: (This is beginning to feel good)

[personal profile] provenforce 2023-06-11 03:06 pm (UTC)(link)
ahhh so I obviously have Rey here and I have had small CRs with Cal's before and I love it and have it on my bucket list for her always

I do also have Merrin [personal profile] finalsister who I have been chomping at wanting to unleash since finishing Survivor but I've been lazy about making myself icons.

but yes I have both of them available for things!
kestis: (Default)

[personal profile] kestis 2023-06-11 05:57 pm (UTC)(link)
👀 I'm so down for threading with both!! I admittedly haven't tried it outside of a couple short texting threads but I just feel like Cal and Rey would be so interesting bounced off each other based on vibes (and character arcs) alone I'm so glad to get the chance

But haha I totally get you, making video game icons is a uniquely tedious process, I had to brute force my way through it personally

[personal profile] sisterless 2023-06-12 03:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I need to get updated icons but I have Merrin + Kanan + Ahsoka if you want any of them. Would especially be jazzed to play Kanan off Cal since I headcanon that they were in the same youngling group before they got their padawan status.
