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.

ACTUALLY... I get that. My issue, primarily, with playing Xiao is that I can't just "lol kiss" without any real build up anyway. It's a balance of him being willing to actually seek something like his own happiness/desires ( which lol good luck ) and just being socially awkward and struggling through just every day conversation. My personal take is that Aether is actually just to dang nosy and persistent in just things that Xiao has long determined to be forgettable... So it's best to just put in a little effort to try rather than having to continuously deal with that persistence. And that opens things up for Xiao a bit in return.

So nah man. I get it.

But I wouldn't mind slipping into either of those scenarios. Just tell me which your preference would slide towards.

OH THANK GOD LMAO. I had typed like half of that up when I was like "bro, you sound crazy," but I decided to just post it anyway because I was like I'D RATHER BE CRAZY THAN A LIAR!!!!!! LMAO YEAH it's just like. I dunno! Dude, I do like Xiao/Aether, but fandom acts like it's totally super canon and they're dating forever and I'm like... Xiao's not really ready for any committed relationship! He needs to work up to it...

Anyway, I think I'd prefer "the First Sage of Buer," so something where Aether is the acting Dendro Archon for — let's just say as an example — however long it takes Nahida to fix an issue with Irminsul? (We can probably consider, and politely ignore, the fact that Celestia would probably object to an outlander serving as an Archon — whatever, RP's just for fun anyway!) And maybe Dendro Archon Aether has stopped by Liyue to visit the adepti and ask how Rex Lapis used to make decisions, or... something. You can definitely change the context of the visit to whatever Xiao would have an easier time talking about! Maybe Aether needs advice on evil conquering and not political decisions!

hey! you're totally fine, no need to apologize for that. & take your time! but yes, just their convo alone from the text thread got me curious about how deeper cr would go between the two of them. u_u esp. if adriel is going to help him out with a cure, even if it involves poking him with a sword. which will prob. trigger his mara (essentially, his trauma response) so that could be interesting to navigate through at one point too???

but okay, if it's easier to go with tossing adri to blade's world, we can do that! 🤔 i can probably get to a starter at some point this week, if not the weekend (genshin is releasing a new region so i'll be, slow,,,,) — unless you'd like to start! idm either way. but am looking forward to more shenanigans!!

[personal profile] sparse 2023-08-16 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
feelings are pesky... but i can't wait for them. u_u sometimes getting into danger with someone else next to you can just make the sparks fly, u kno.

and yeah, i figured if we're both keeping away from their canon lives, it should be easier to make things up... hopefully. BUT THIS IS PERFECT, THANK YOU!! i'll try to hit this (and our other thread) up either tonight or tomorrow; the heat has been rly bad, and genshin is dropping fontaine tonight so i'm uh. gonna be slow, LMAO.

[personal profile] whirlwindthrust 2023-08-16 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
Nah, like I said. I get you. It's more complicated than uwu feels. ;>

But sure. We can go for that sort of scenario. I mean Xiao will probably be all "why are you asking ME." Or Xiao could have been there for the conversation just on the side :/a

But also Xiao would have OPINIONS on the use of dreams in Sumeru.

squints at your muselist... HOW long was this retirement because some of these uns look familiar, were you around for the very early Discedo days back on LJ?? at least I think that's where it must've been since I don't think I was in any of the other games you have listed. I mainly played Vaati/Azure Kite back then if we crossed paths?

REGARDLESS if you're cool with horror, [community profile] sticksandbones just recently went from invite-only to public! We're a pretty small game rn but I feel like Chise would be right at home surrounded by spooky magic forest nonsense, and it fits pretty much all your preferences. The FAQ is here and there's a fresh TDM if you want to give it a try.

i love it -- that sounds perfect to me! he is always here to cultivate people's weirder, less socially acceptable or vulnerable sides and i really like the prospect of them trying to experience normalcy together in spite of the circumstances. i see you're on the rain meme -- would that work or would you prefer something else? the rain can be more of an afterthought than anything, but i can tag into any of your top levels this week and get us started. just let me know!
magusbride: calm; smiling (05)

Too long, and it does my heart good to see those muses mentioned again. I do think I remember you a little from Discedo, so this is nice.

Thank you for your suggestion! I'll try to check it out since it does sound like a good fit for Chise.
harmacy: like a watercolour bloom (I-0055)

[personal profile] harmacy 2023-08-16 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
There are still a few of us decrepit oldbies kicking around!! I remember your Nill and I think Lag? honestly can't imagine where else I would've heard about Tegami Bachi. A few others seem familiar too but then again these were the days where everyone played like 4+ characters in one game, i think i'd die if i tried that today oof

If I see you on the TDM I'll toss a tag your way! gl in your gamehunt and welcome back =w=

Perfect! I also don't mind writing us a starter if you see a meme that works out. Poke me anytime with deets you'd want me to include! I'll be keeping an eye out for your top-levels, too :)

oh it's NAV O'CLOCK

hello!! I have a terrible bone nun if you'd like her. I can play harrow from any canonpoint and enjoy them all equally so gtn is totally fine. I'd love to dysfunctionally throw these dumbasses together and see how it goes! pretty open to most scenarios, too - I saw on your Zelda wishlist that you're a big fan of aus and I'm always down to hash out an au, too.

he's a terror to everyone else so someone has to right the scales, and i'll happily take this on.

criminal on criminal emotional violence is exactly what i'm here for actually

[personal profile] ricochetlove 2023-08-16 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
Sampo deserves it, this is his karmic retribution for being so obnoxious. he is a universally bully-able man, terrorizing him is practically a community service

[personal profile] domitrix 2023-08-16 07:10 am (UTC)(link)
karma, kafka, just a few letters removed. and making men nervously sweat is my most favorite hobby, as it happens.

where would you like her! :) we could def just pick a meme and ball

works for me! lawlu is also one of my otps in one piece, but that sounds fun to work with. were there any kind of particular situation(s)/meme to base things off that you were thinking of?

ie. canon pretty much has told us how the reunion would go but what if sabo also didn't have his memories back? just to throw something out there. we can keep the convo here as comments or you're free to send me a dm and we can continue there c:

hi hello! i've hit up adriel with another oc of mine (ana aka the angriest angel) though my energy for her has gone down a bit, so i was curious about throwing this lady at him if you're up for it? she very much leans into the outcast role due to hanging around ghosts/demons and being a baby eldtrich being.

she could also maybe work with oersted as someone also desperate for contact, and gently trying to encourage his better aspects while also dealing with them both being very not human. basically she's very flexible since she... goes with the flow for a lot of things, and is amoral / very open-minded.

hello hello so sorry about the delay - apparently ms. 'rona finally got me, so I've been out sick (doing OK, it's been pretty mild thankfully), but it also means that I blasted through S4 in like three days, so I've finally filled in the rest of my canon knowledge |D;; (insert sobbing noises about Reiner hi hello) so I'm good for later canon threads as well now too~

But yes good actually that sounds awesome, I'd love a crack at Reiner for that one (although that is EXCELLENT art A++ Bertolt), or we could swap out, too!

I'll probably chuck up a general open post on his journal and work on getting something going in the next few days - in the meantime, if you use plurk and/or discord, I'm [profile] lavellalalan on both! ♥

If you’re down for AUs, I saw a demon cult one on bakerstreet and I could absolutely see Kafka as a demon and Sampo as the head of a cult that he only initially started to scam people out of money a la Scientology and now things have gotten just a little bit out of pocket

Or to keep them in universe, Sampo could be helping Kafka acquire something that the Stellaron Hunters need and she y’know bullies him the whole way just for funsies and bc he’s lowkey terrified of her

[personal profile] domitrix 2023-08-16 05:00 pm (UTC)(link)
oh!! i actually posted in that one i think. god im so down for that au please let me write demon kafka. i love cult stuff so dearly it's insane. cmon, scientology sampo, accidentally summon a demon. see what happens. :)
