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.

Arcane

[personal profile] treesistance 2023-07-09 05:42 am (UTC)(link)

OFFERING
Ekko | Arcane
SEEKING
• Meme threads/PSLs!
• Would love to play with other Arcane characters, but also crosscanon and OCs (I love OCs!)
• Interested in both shippy (open to anything—m/f, m/m or m/other) or gen! I tend to go for action and interpersonal character drama in threads but I am certainly not against slice of life fluff.
• Willing to AU Ekko into other canons, or help figure out how other characters would fit into Piltover/Zaun, or we could always just do some sort of nebulous jamjar situation.
• Cyberpunk/Steampunk/Solarpunk characters
• Teen/young adult vigilante characters
• Other Punks??
• IDK hit me up if you're even a little interested tbh
WISHLIST
• Jinx!! Open to both shippy and gen, whatever you're down for. Also open to any point in the timeline, post-season 1 shenanigans after they inevitably run into each other again? Filling in the blanks for pre-act 2/3 since they clearly had some interaction during the time skip? AU where Ekko gets caught during the airship raid in Ep 4? Or much further back AU where Jinx gets yoinked out of Silco's clutches and is a Firelight? Or Ekko joins up and is working with her in Silco's group? Truly, I am not picky.
• All the rest of the Arcane cast, since Ekko didn't get much time to interact with most of them! Jayce and Viktor for Inventor Shenanigans or more speculative plot-heavy trying to find a third option in the inevitable Piltover/Zaun conflict? Firelights clearly use the Piltover infrastructure for stealthy movement through the city, and that's where Victor likes to hang out in while having Sad Thinks so he could run into either of them there. Caitlyn and Vi know where Firelight Base is so if either need to go somewhere safe I'd love to thread that out! Does anyone play Heimerdinger?? We have to get that little guy on a hoverboard, stat. I'm going to be honest I have no idea what he'd do in a thread with Mel but I love her so much I will figure it out.
• Any and all Star Wars, bring them to me. I'm picturing Piltover/the Undercity as one of those planets/moons that's entirely covered by urban sprawl in/near Hutt space. Have your Star Wars get stranded on planet and embroiled in local conflict/resistance when just trying to hide out!
• Marvel/DC characters? Ekko has a masked vigilante persona all ready to go so he'd slot in super well into superhero universes!

Ahhh, hello!! 👀 By the icon I take it you're open to shipping haha, do you have any preferences for timeline/au point? Like I said I am down for literally everything with them

[personal profile] opheliac 2023-07-09 02:29 pm (UTC)(link)
sorry i went to sleep! but im pretty open to anything too tbh. we can even do modern au of them being in school if you wanna do that too. sky is the limit! but we can always start where the series left off and we can go from there. then if you like, we can play around different scenarios.

as for my availability just in case you're wondering about that too, i work full time and i work 2p to 11p EST. and i'm off every wednesdays and saturdays. however i recently just got out of the hospital and im on some harsh medicine right now, so i might take a little time of answering back. maybe like... a day or two if you don't mind that. i'm only suppose to be on this medicine for a week (i'm hoping!) and i should be good to go again. but yeah, hopefully you won't mind my slight slowness!! 😔

No worries, I've worked 2nd shift before I totally get it! I'm on 3rd shift right now myself so I also keep odd tagging hours. And I definitely don't mind slow! I'm not the fastest tagger myself, definitely take all the time you need to feel better!

I have a couple of meme toplevels up here, but I'm totally up for making a starter for them in my open post if those don't tickle your fancy!

I saw you on memes yesterday while I was lurking about, and I didn't have time to hit Ekko up on one. Would you be interested in a thread between Silco and Ekko? I imagine their dynamic would be contentious at best and down right manipulative at worst :D
treesistance: (Default)

[personal profile] treesistance 2023-07-09 04:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooh, yes please! I'm a huge sucker for those sorts of juicy terrible dynamics. We could always also do the AU where Jinx's trap worked (better) in Ep 4 and either she or Sevika (honestly, probably Sevika lmao) actually managed to catch Ekko and haul him in to Silco? Or if that's not the kind of angle you want to thread out, I'm down for them running into each other at any point that you'd like to play from. Maybe they get stuck in the undercity elevator together and just have to ride it out haha

[personal profile] conflictresolution 2023-07-09 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I always imagined that Silco was very aware of Ekko being Benzo's adoptive kid, a point he will no doubt want to poke hard. And honestly, Ekko is as close to an actual effective rival as Silco has even if they never meet in the show. Everyone else Silco has had killed, but Ekko keeps slipping away :| :|

I think I would like to wait for a meeting after the Jinx bomb only because of the mental state Silco is in nearly losing his daughter. I feel like he would be overly harsh on Ekko if he realizes he's the cause of Jinx going boom.

If you're game, maybe a random casual meeting first to set their dynamic? Then I definitely would be interested in swinging back to him being hauled in after bridge-boom.

That makes a lot of sense, and yeah that order sounds perfect! I do have a couple toplevels up here (unfortunately not many, because I juuust picked Ekko up), but if you have any top levels of your own you think might work toss them my way and I'll gladly do the starter. Alternatively I can throw a thread up in my open post, the elevator thing for laughs? Or accidental meeting at one of the undercity's food stands? Anything else? Let me know if you have any preferences.

Huzzah, we can voice test together! I've actually only recently picked up Silco, so I'm figuring out his voice myself! I'll jump on one of your TL in the memes and get something up for us to play around with. :D I'm excited

Ezreal isn't in Arcane, but he's from Piltover. I'd be happy to play him off of Ekko.
treesistance: (Default)

[personal profile] treesistance 2023-07-12 09:42 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, I would love that!! I admit that I don't know too much about non-Arcane lore or Ezreal (other than stuff on the wikis and this extremely cute short story I came across when I was trying to find if LoL!Ekko had any ships for... reasons haha), but I've got some meme toplevels here or I can slap a starter in an open post if none of those work for what you'd like to play!

Since Ezreal is a thief at heart, I'll go with the con/heist meme.

Ez is more or less the same in canon as he is in that short story; major self-worth issues that he disguises by being a bit of a fuck boy (one of the best descriptions I've seen of him is Indian Jones by way of a YouTube Influencer.)

Edited to add: He makes fun of Piltovers without any irony, because as down to earth as he is compared to a lot of the general populance of Piltover, he does like some some luxuries. He's probably somewhere above Jayce's family in wealth but below Caitlyn's but he tries very hard not use his uncle's money unless it'd make him mad. He doesn't mind getting dirty, enjoys camping out, and is pretty good at surviving outdoors. I've always felt he'd enjoy the company of people from Zuan more than others from Piltoverans.
