June EMP Meme
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!

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.

... you know, it may have been Bendis, and that might have been why halfway through I was like "eh maybe MK just isn't for me" and abandoned it? If you've got runs to recommend, lay 'em on me, I'm always happy to read more comics!
I am already laughing at the mental image of Sharon and Marc on a mission, because Sharon can also occasionally be Bad Decision Central. Maybe it's not an official one, but they kind of fall into it somehow?
I also think Dick and Miguel would be super interesting, but if I'm canon-unfamiliar with MK I am totally canon-blind with Miguel. I just think there's a lot to do with the Bat-kids and Spider-People!
no subject
oh my god, if it was the run where marc's alters were cap, spidey and wolverine, then it was bendis and i've honestly only read the run once. it really, really saddens me that we got maleev doing the art for moon knight and it was wasted on bendis' run AAAAH.
(honestly, I think the current run by jed mackay is a great jumping on point because jed gets the character and it's not super continuity heavy — he's set up a new supporting cast because of Reasons and has kind of reset the character after jason aaron's ~~age of khonshu thing in avengers.)
HAHAHAHA two characters who can be SHOCKINGTM at making good decisions team up: what could go wrong?!?!
i played comics miguel YEARS ago and i'm stoked to see the interest in him that's come about from ATSV, but his comics generally are an absolute mess and i don't massively care for anything post-2015. I DID also used to play 616!pete a few years ago and had some great cr with some of the batfam (I know nothing about the batfam other than rp osmosis), but I am right there with you on feeling like there's so much to be had w/ batfam and spidey shenanigans.
no subject
I highly anticipate EVERYTHING going wrong and will hop into your inbox to hash out the details of exactly how.
(I also have Diana Prince/Wonder Woman and I think she and Marc would NOT GET ALONG AT ALL and also it would be hilarious. For us.)
Listen: there is too much Bat-Fam stuff out there. I know a lot about Dick and Babs and Steph but there is not enough time in the day to read ALL of it. And like you said, that's what rp is for. Fortunately, I think it would be easy enough to jury-rig an excuse to throw them together!
no subject
huston's before it and lemire's after delve a lot more into marc's psyche which is way more interesting (to me), but huston's is where a lot of the GRIM DARK EDGY mk stuff comes from.
(but also lol ellis, you would think it's not hard to be a vaguely decent human being AND YET.)
(oh my god yes, diana!!!)
lord, i tried reading birds of prey once, but dc scares me. i can't wrap my head around the crisis (??) events and resetting of continuity. i'm way too used to marvel's 'we keep everything except we don't lol' approach. i've always got the impression that dick and pete would be amazing(ly annoying) together.
BUT YES, luckily (?) miguel's history features a lot of multiverse/time travel shenanigans so it's, like, especially easy when it comes to him gjfdlh
no subject
DC is almost impenetrable without a reading list. (Why are there so many crises? Stop having crises! And, also, maybe stop letting the Flash rewrite continuity because he misses his mom.) Do you have any idea how many comics Diana has been in???
That said, if you ever want recs, I have 'em! I also play Zinda Blake from BoP, and tbh I would strongly advise just sticking to Gail Simone's run on the team. (Kelly Thompson is apparently writing a new BoP this year, butttttttt... it's got Harley and she's not my fave.)
And, I mean. If you ever want to dust Peter off, I think he and Dick would, indeed, be amazing(ly catastrophic).
no subject
i think i remember hearing gail simone's run was good before, but for whatever reason i didn't get very far with it, I SHOULD GIVE IT ANOTHER GO
maybe one of these days!!! i haven't read a spidey comic in years though because — fuck editorial.
