August 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.

my meta colin robinson journal is my pride and joy ♥

i actually have a deep nostalgic love for lotr it was my first big fantasy series (though i did not end up watching rings of power since it was airing about simultaneously with hotd and i couldn't juggle both at the same time) but galadriel is totally welcome to canon mash with any of these. lmk who/what you're feeling and we can go from there :)

i would love a dijkstra tho so if you do fall into temptation also hmu

Aww man, that's really unfortunate timing. But hmmm, I'd say that tdm threads go pretty long! I've seen that some threads from the previous tdm are still ongoing.

Apps are also bimonthly, so the next app round will be on October!

Murderbot // The Murderbot Diaries // [personal profile] recognizance
Cassian Andor // Star Wars // [personal profile] seenitbefore
a bunch of other people // various // [personal profile] transilience

=====================

basically I just want all the cross-canon shenanigans for SecUnit. you know you want to hang out with a ridiculously competent cybernetic fish out of water! you knooooow you do. I'm especially keen on dumping it into TLOU (only familiar with the show but am flexible) and Star Wars (because Star Wars), but it can slot into most SF scenarios to good effect. or at least hilarious effect. shipping is not on the table for this friendo, but pretty much anything else is.

cassian is still my main man but I've been increasingly unsure of myself with him lately, so really I'm just... wondering if anyone wants him, I guess? I'm flexible as to continuity; I haven't done much with the D+ stuff as yet but I'm open to it if you want? cross-canon is great, canon crossovers are great, AUs are great, idk I just love my spyboy and want him to uh. thrive? in his own profoundly dysfunctional way?

aaaaaand basically anyone on my muselist is available upon request! I like random shit, what can I say.

hey there! i had a quick glance at ayame's info, and she's really neat! i'm always down for good counterparts to kafka since lord knows blade likely grew worse under her care LMAO, but!! he can definitely be the one to do most of the fighting since he's a weapon anyway. as for memes, we can pick between a few like hurt/comfort, insomnia, or bed-sharing to narrow it down. i can AU blade to be from her world too, if that makes things easier. 🤔 but yeah! let me know what pings more and we can try smth, haha.

Of course! (Also omg I love Knuckles, he's my fav)

We had a trial in the past that was very Ferngully meets Princess Mononoke vibe where this big toxic monster fueled by humanity's physical/emotional pollution was making its slow trek through part of the world and was turning the land into a poisonous swamp. Characters could participate in evacuation efforts, had to deal with the area of effect, there were new creatures added to the world that influenced how the characters could travel or be healed. The plants and other animals in the area were mutated to become hostile and would attack characters. Characters exposed to the toxins could have their role/powers temporarily changed and they'd have to learn how to use the new ones (i.e., someone who had been a Legend was exposed and changed into a Familiar and lost their wings then started shifting into animals without being able to control it). During the night, a complementary spirit would come through and begin healing the land but it would start again in the morning. People had to use whatever methods they could to clean up the place and be kind to the earth to assist the nature spirit to restore balance.

An event I really liked was one where everyone was transported to the desert region and they had to work together to make it out/to an oasis to survive. Finding a buddy and sharing resources would magically make things feel less hot or generate more water in their canteen. There was a mirage effect that created someone from a character's past -- possibly an enemy, possibly a loved one -- who would attack the character and others. The only way to stop them was the character they were linked to had to face them and overcome them since they were connected; the mirage was invincible to everyone else. Lots of Feels and character growth and revisiting trauma in that one.

Similarly, there was a TDM prompt where people found themselves in an abandoned cabin during a cold front in the more tundra-esque region and there was only 1 small blanket -- but opening up and talking to each other, getting to know each other, would make the blanket grow so it could warm both people.

Most of the events are usually aimed at characters discovering the "trick" to solving the problem, and there are better and worse ways to do things. To survive the desert, one might steal a selkie skin to protect themselves from the elements, but they'd be depriving another creature and the selkie of course wouldn't be able to return to the water. OR you could choose a more difficult path and rely on someone else, etc. So there's still opportunity for villains to be villains, or heroes to contemplate just how self-sacrificing they're REALLY willing to be when it hurts, or what limits someone might reconsider under different circumstances. Character death is very much a possibility to explore but never mandatory. There's a lot of player freedom for how far they want to go or not in any situation.

(Thank you! Mine too, ever since 1994!)

Oh, those sound really interesting! I would like those kinds of events.

Do characters need to have magical powers/transformations for gameplay to work, or are they able to fully play without any if they've never had any in canon and the player doesn't wish to give them any?

Depending on what kind of vibe you're looking for I have him topleveled at the taboo meme, and the garden meme currently but I'm open to other memes as well, considering bakerstreet moves fast so I might have missed a good one on the main page.

old man to ancient old man communication: chess. tea party also does sound incredibly cute... and texting threads are easy, so i'm happy to do whichever. i am a liiiittle more inclined to do a friendly and totally not deep talk over chess, though. we don't need to sweat out the specifics, let's just say xianzhou is in teyvat somewhere and call it a day. it would be cute if they're penpals too.... i don't even have anything in mind irt what they could talk about, i just think they'd enjoy each other's company a lot 🥹

they would 🥹 and no worries! they'll just be old cute retired men sitting on the porch together and texting each other, no deepness involved. penpals sounds so cute too omfg. i see you on the texting meme, so i'll hit you up for a little thread there if that's ok! we'll go from there.

edit: i totally misread! i'd be down to have the thread start out with them planning a visit through letters or even at the start of the game. do you have a pref for liyue or the xianzhou?

Hi there!! Thanks so much, and likewise :D Troy and Himeno are really fun together! I'm absolutely down for her to have a 'meet the family' moment with Ayame or Sofia (or both??), or they can just happen to meet someplace and later realize they have Troy in common? I'm easy-- we can get these ladies together in a bunch of different ways. Are you feeling a meme setting or something more fine-tuned?

Also, I love reading through your OC profiles! They're so thorough :')

Hello! Since you're down for AUs, would you be interested in Beautiful Dreamer? I think it suits all your requirements in terms of pace and game population (We Are Not Kidding About The Dorky Middle Aged Men) and I will also just fully admit I would be absolutely delighted to play against Koujaku DMMD in tyool. i miss those funky little guys

jjk, trigun

[personal profile] nonchalance 2023-08-14 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
offering.

- gojo satoru | jujutsu kaisen
- geto suguru | jujutsu kaisen
- vash | trigun stampede

seeking/ideas.

in general:
- AU things are more than welcome. canon-divergent and exploring possibilities is my favorite, but also just generic AU concepts. supernatural, mafia, various professional or industry stuff (idols, actors, etc.), bdsm-esque worlds, something fantasy based

- i'm shippy trash and love writing that out, but also thrilled to write gen things, especially friendly bonding.
for jjk:
- a suguru (for gojo) or a satoru (for geto). timeline flexible, definitely happy to explore their high school years or their adult years (especially those 10 years between geto's defecting and his death)
- other castmates for gen things or potential ships. especially a shoko for gojo, bonding over the years, and yuki, nanami, ijichi, utahime, or the students.
- other curse users for geto. some cross-canon or assumed cr would work wonderfully for him.

for trigun:
- seeking a wolfwood or knives for vash.
- i love the canon and would love to write out something set in canon (especially canon divergent), involving them traveling around trying to help and avoid those bounty hunters.
- would love ocs for vash; the people he encounters before the events of canon.

notes.

- pacific timezone, most often active some evenings and most weekends, and will backtag as long as there's interest.
- mostly looking for longterm (or short term) psls rather than memes (but memes aren't out of the question)
- i like brainstorming ideas/building off concepts and chatting about ideas, although i'm often at a loss to come up with an initial idea (or I have too many ideas to focus on one)
- i love texting threads, those are easier to handle during the work week, and a psl that incorporates texts and stuff, along with lengthier, meatier threads would be ideal.
- comment here or pm this journal. happy to use discord or plurk to chat.

No Man's Land - Trigun-themed Dressing Room, Now Open

[personal profile] nml_mods 2023-08-14 11:57 am (UTC)(link)



No Man's Land

On the distant planet called No Man's Land, a vicious war was fought over the future of mankind. Humanity pitted against powerful beings they called "Plants," each side represented by one of a pair of twin brothers, one side fighting for the destruction of the humans who had enslaved the species and the other fighting in the name of love and peace.


» IC Comm
» OOC Comm
» Rules
» FAQ
» No Man's Land Discord

No Man's Land is a quasi-dystopian space-western dressing-room based in the Trigun multiverse, in a version of reality that has broken open the barriers between dimensions due to the events of the war. Open to all characters original to, or AU'd to fit into, the canon with an active Discord channel.



Help Us. Help him. Please.


Far from here, in a distant time and place, the same song of humanity still sang.
