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.

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.

616, MCU, DC, The Witcher, You, Wynonna Earp, crosscanon

[personal profile] avatarfortruth 2023-06-11 03:54 pm (UTC)(link)
offering:
sharon carter [616 & MCU variants] [profile] worldsbestburger / [profile] scarsofthepast
diana of themyscira [comics/DCEU mashup] [personal profile] avatarfortruth
dick grayson [dc comics] [personal profile] riskfalling
geralt of rivia [bookverse & The Wild Hunt] [personal profile] bialy_wilk
basically any of these dummies, especially Beck, Zinda, Wynonna
looking for:
– meme shenanigans, PSLs, potential games (??)
– crosscanon is my jam, let's throw some muses together and see what works
– I love to ship and enjoy a smut thread from time to time, but always prefer to start off with gen and digging into complex character interactions
– general crosscanon wishlist: SW (Cal Kestis's, come at me), MCU, DC/EU, You (I would love to dig into Joe and Beck), The Magicians, D&D. Pretty much any sci-fi/fantasy/comics canon.

for sharon: team cap members always wanted, for gen and shipping. I'll play strict MCU, 616/MCU mash-up, strict 616, fix-its, AUs, the works. I would especially love a steve for some post CA:WS stuff. Other comics folks/superheroes welcome as well!
for diana: comics nonsense, please. (She is buddies with superintelligent gorillas!) Would especially love crossover stuff with MCU and 616 for her, along with DC canonmates. But I love Diana and crosscanon for ships, buddies, and plot – let's figure out how to AU her into your world! I think she'd be hilarious with dungeons & dragons folks.
for dick: really craving some dick/spidey-people action post Across the Spider-Verse. Shippy stuff, found-family stuff, kicking goons in the head stuff all loved. Would also love to mash him up with daredevil and punisher folks. Bat-fam especially wanted! I sail all ships with Dick aside from bat-fam ones (those are his father/brother/sisters, no thanks), and also enjoy a platonic good time.

Hi, there!

I have Yennefer, and although I've only been playing her from the Netflix incarnation, I would be willing to consider trying her bookverse self. I've (literally just, as in within the past two days) read through Baptism of Fire and am just waiting for payday to grab copies of the final two books. The one incarnation I am not familiar with is her game version. If that isn't too weird or off-putting for you, I'd love to grab a meme thread sometime. I tend to stick to meme threads with continuity rather than PSLs for now, given that it lends itself to greater flexibility and less commitment.

Hello there!

I am always happy to write with Yens of all kinds! No need to play the game version – which is really just the book version a few years down the line. And book Geralt fits perfectly fine with at least S1 of the show, so I'm not really too fussed about drawing a hard line.

I don't often tl him, but I'm happy to tag out! If there are any memes she's on currently where you'd like Geralt to show up, just lmk and I'll send him along.

Sounds great! <3 If you prefer gen starts, I have this and this currently hanging out there. Please forgive any stumbling in advance, lol; it'll be pseudo-voicetesting!

So it's been a little while since I've blown the dust off, but I've got Clark here as well as Zatanna and Green Arrow if you'd like any of them for Diana or Zinda.

On top of that, I don't have many D&D folks, but I do have journals for a few tabletop OCs, and a couple people from very superhero-inspired canons for some crosscanon stuff.

Oh, a Clark! Yes, that would be amazing, both for Diana and Zinda. (Zinda would probably have some choice words for Ollie, considering her friendship with Dinah.) Honestly, I welcome all the comics folks!

And I think Ollie would admit that he deserves that. I do like to give him the chance to grow, but the man's got quite a bit of growing to do.

I do have Carol Danvers from Marvel 616 as well in terms of comic stuff. She's a bit rusty too, but I could be persuaded to bring her out at as well.
