July 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.

marvel, star wars, the magicians, crosscanon

[personal profile] chuju 2023-07-09 09:17 am (UTC)(link)
offering —
» Padmé Amidala [personal profile] senateurStar Wars, post-RotS
The queen turned senator turned mother of the Rebellion. She devoted her life to civil service, driven by her deep compassion for others and profound belief in the power of democracy. I prefer to play Padmé in a post-RotS AU where she lived to join the fight against the Empire, fueled by the guilt she feels for not seeing what was happening right in front of her eyes.

» Daisy Johnson [personal profile] chujuAgents of SHIELD, post-series post-blip era
A millennial hacker turned spy turned superhero who has been through more trauma than most characters in the MCU, including growing up an orphan, being betrayed by those she loves, the death of many loved ones that she feels responsible for... But despite all the pain in her life, she's still compassionate, loyal, and ready and willing to sacrifice herself to protect others.

» Julia Wicker [personal profile] ourladytreesThe Magicians, s3-4 era
A strong-willed, stubborn, incredibly smart, and fiercely protective magician who tends to make fairly questionable life choices and doesn't really take no for an answer. She's been through hell a few times and has the emotional scars to prove it, but she's healing, and depending on canonpoint, she is becoming or has recently been an actual goddess. (Despite becoming a goddess, Julia firmly believes that gods are dicks and will appreciate others who share that view.)

seeking for padmé—
» Star Wars canonmates from the Rebellion and post-Rebellion eras. In this AU, she secretly works with the Rebels to take down the Empire or the New Republic to uncover any remaining Imperial cells. I'd especially love a Cassian Andor or Din Djarin, but I'm open to others! (Any Lukes or Leias want to meet their mom?)

seeking for daisy—
» MCU canonmates, including but not limited to: Maria Hill, because they never got to interact when she was on the show and I have Feelings about recent events that need to be addressed. Robbie Reyes, because this almost ship has haunted me for the past six years and I desperately need them back in my life. And Loki (OG or TVA era), because I really want to explore how these characters would interact given that a certain God of Mischief killed a certain Agent Coulson who went on to become Daisy's adopted father figure. She's not usually the forgiving type, but I'd be really interested in putting these two through their paces to see what kind of CR shakes out.
» X-Men characters for multiverse shenanigans, especially Charles Xavier or Erik Lehnsherr. Daisy is an Inhuman, which was basically the MCU's stand-in for mutants before Disney got their toys back, and she's defended her people in both legal and not so legal ways, which could make for some interesting interactions with either of these men who are on opposite ends of the philosophical spectrum.
» Bruce Wayne, especially the Robert Pattinson and Ben Affleck versions. For Battinson, I absolutely loved the vibe of the new movie and Bruce getting back to his crime-fighting detective roots, so I'd like to drop Daisy into his verse and have her live a 'powerless' vigilante life while searching for a way back home. And for Batfleck, she could also be dropped into the universe and subsequently enlisted in the fight to protect his world, or canons could be mashed and there could be some teamups between SHIELD and the Justice League. (Open to other Bruces too, though!)
» Star Trek characters, especially from Strange New Worlds or TOS/AOS eras. With Trek being such an easy canon for crossovers, it would be fun to play with all the multiverse possibilities. Daisy would relate to the family vibe of the crews and feel perfectly at home on a spaceship (she's lived in space before), or she would be ready and willing to help someone get back to their ship if thrown into more dire circumstances. Basically, I really love these two canons and just want to do Things.

seeking for julia—
» Marvel folks, either magically-inclined or interested in those who are magically inclined, and especially those who have been through a bit of a villain arc like Julia herself or wouldn't hold that part of her life against her. Of particular note: Loki (show era) would be intriguing because he's a "god" and thus Julia will have some Opinions about him while acknowledging he's not the same kind of god as the assholes she's dealt with; Marc/Steven/Jake Moonboys for commiserating over the whims of gods and how fucked up their lives have become because of aforementioned gods.
» Supernatural creatures or those who fight them, because vampires and werewolves and such are a thing in her canon, so let's throw some multiverse monsters into the mix.
» Fantasy crosscanon shenanigans, such as The Witcher, Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings... Visiting other worlds is part of Julia's canon (think Chronicles of Narnia but a whole lot more fucked up) and it's something she can do with relative ease, so her stumbling into one of these worlds as a goddess or a magician would be totally in line with canon.

notes —
» Rather than typing out an entire novel here, I've put together a sort of rp resume to lay out everything a potential writing partner might want to know about me. Preferences, samples of my writing, a history of games I've been in...
» I love crosscanon, it's truly my bread and butter. I put together a list of canons I'm familiar with, but I'm always open to exploring new canons if you're interested in doing a thing but your canon isn't on the list!
» It's been a rough couple of months in my corner of the world. I really apologize for things I've spaced on or been super slow with, none of it is intentional or personal.
» To contact, comment here or send a PM to any journal!

I do love Padmé lives AUs. Ezra here is, oh, a few days older than Luke and Leia, depending on when exactly you go with the twins being born. If you'd like a young Force sensitive/Jedi who's very keen on sticking it to the Empire, we can do a thing!

If you're okay with me not having seen most of Rebels yet, then I would love an Ezra! I've seen some random later episodes, so spoilers are a-okay, and I really do need to actually get on with it before Ahsoka drops...

Now is indeed a good time to watch Rebels! And no, I don't mind lack of familiarity at all!

would you be interested in multiverse shenanigans with jean? two powerful ladies figuring stuff out?
chuju: (196.)

[personal profile] chuju 2023-07-09 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I would love that! So long as you're okay with me being fairly comics-blind; I've only read a few things featuring Rogue over the years. (There's just so much out there, even time I dip my toe in, I get overwhelmed.)

okay so this is embarrassing. but I dropped the ball on our thread uhhhh a few years ago now and have since been really annoyed with myself! I will not be offended if you give me up for a hopeless flake, but if not I am still game. >_>

besides a spyboy I can offer you assorted other weirdos space or otherwise.

[personal profile] chuju 2023-07-11 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
Trust me, there are so many times when I've unintentionally dropped a thread, regretted it, and been too anxious to try again with that person. So I absolutely get it, and I am 1000% down for things!

Ngl, I will never say no to a Bucky because of these reasons. But also yes please absolutely gimme the spyboy.
