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.

Perfect! I'll tag it as soon as I get a chance today!! Aha so do I, idk why they changed his character design!
retirementsnotsopeachy: (Well that's just uncalled for.)

No rush!

And something something people couldn't tell him apart from Lemmy, but I'm legally blind and could tell them apart just fine. XP

I'm excited ngl, I've been dying for you to post to the TDM LMAO!

Right!? I get changing his hairstyle, but they should have left the rainbow. T_T

That makes me really happy! I'm super excited to join and my brain is on all the characters. Aside from Jr, I'm also thinking maybe Nine from Sonic Prime to give Iggy a brainy boy who's not REALLY a hero.

Actually rainbow palm tree hair would've been cool. I also have an Iggy journal and I just ignored new hair Iggy for icons mostly.

[personal profile] bahahahaha 2023-07-17 01:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Omg... finally, another genius who isn't a hero 🙏 I love that lmao!

I'm so glad someone else plays this snarky weirdo, that absolutely fills my heart with joy!!

[personal profile] retirementsnotsopeachy 2023-07-20 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
I'm definitely looking into it. I need to rebinge so I can get icon fodder and get properly settled into Seasons. Then he'll probably be next up for genius shenanigans.

Iggy deserves so much love. He and Lemmy have always been my favorites.

Perfect!! 10/10 thus world is getting conquered for sure now.

He does! I wish more people played the Koopalings, it's my dream to see them all reunited in a thread but I know it won't happen haha. I adore Lemmy too, I've never seen anyone play him though which is a shame. I always play Iggy with the mentality that Lemmy is his favorite brother.
retirementsnotsopeachy: (Think you're ready?)

[personal profile] retirementsnotsopeachy 2023-07-20 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Unless a redemption happens then yep! Nine can provide! Then I need to binge some Mario to get Jr fully up and running.

That's a great dream though! And me too! My headcanon has always been that the two of them are the closest, esecially after I found this cute picture of Lemmy taking care of a little Iggy.

Admittedly, I haven't seen Sonic Prime other than the trailers but always suoer excited for Sonic peeps because back in the day I used to RP both Amy and Wave! Ooo have you played Bowser's Fury yet? I'm about halfway done with it. Jr. is suoer cute in that game.

I have seen that pic!! They're so cute I can hardly stand it. 10/10 siblings!
shatterdriven: (I told you so.)

I highly recommend watching it if you can. There's only 16 episodes so far and I found it a lot of fun. I've also played Tails and Manic. I don't own Bowser's Fury yet! Maybe I'll gift it to myself for my b-day this year if I can.

Isn't it?! It just fueled my headcanon 1000% more
bahahahaha: (pic#16331778)

[personal profile] bahahahaha 2023-07-21 02:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I love Tails and Manic so much! Manic definitely needs way more love than he gets! I think you'll like Bowser's Fury, Jr. is so worried about his papa he's willing to run to Mario for help ;;

SAME. I was trying to convince my niece to play Lemmy but she won't do it lmao! I used to play all 7 kids back in the day, but these days I can only handle one at a time.

shatterdriven: (I can make that a reality.)

[personal profile] shatterdriven 2023-07-27 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
I mean, Jr also had to resurrect Dry Bowser once to get his dad back so I don't doubt it. I can't wait until I can try it!

Yeah, a lot of people complain about the premise and cheap animation, and the songs, but Underground is something pretty special especially with Manic there. Tails is my original favorite though so I find Nine fascinating.

I would have loved to see that! I've only played Iggy and Jr. Occasionally a good!Iggy AU where Mario is the villain.

Actually, Jr. Has had to do a lot to fix his dad's mistakes if you think about it. They all have. No wonder they're all crazy!!

It's a shame they didn't continue the series honestly. I think it had a ton of potential. Tails has definitely been my favorite too, he's pretty hard not to get attached to. I can't wait to watch Prime!

Omg, good!Iggy AU sounds so amazing ngl. I love that idea a lot! Also if you ever wanna toss anyone at me, I almost always toss Iggy onto memes. I'd give you my olurk handle but I stopped using social media last month and I sorta forgot the password anyway whoops >>;; but I do have discord if you wanna chat there ever!

Right?! Bowser tries, but he's so headstrong and reckless that he's as bad a dad as he is a good one.

Sadly it seems like Sega just wants to leave all of their past stuff in the past, except the original trilogy and CD, even the stuff most people really liked. My favorite version of Tails was in Dark Brotherhood, but that game's never getting a sequel soooo... I definitely want a running commentary on your Prime thoughts!

I would be up for that! Also you read my mind. I was just thinking we should continue talking over Plurk or Discord. I'm most active on Discord anyway, so I'll DM you my handle.

It's true! It's what makes him endearing, though!

I've noticed that, and that's a shame. Even still, I'm glad for the new content that they've been giving us! I do prefer the older stuff over some of the newer stuff -- I did try to play Frontiers but man is that game frustrating. I got as far as the first like, boss... boss but he kept knocking me around and I'd run out of rings and have to start over so I just sorta gave up. I will have to sub to netflix temporarily, but it'll be worth it! My niece wants to watch Prime too, haha.

I appreciate it, friend!!
