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.

𝙤𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜

▷ tom hanniger

𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙛𝙨 / 𝙨𝙚𝙚𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜

▷ all the cross-canon and au shenanigans, all of it, give it to meee
▷ preference for slasher/horror muse interactions
▷ highkey shipper trash; the good, the bad, and the ugly ( prefer m/m but fair warning: he has issues with his sexuality ... if you wanna gloss over that, just lemme know )
▷ smut friendly, but i'm fine with ftb ( i write him as a top, but i'm not against flipping the script 😏 )
▷ gen is great too
▷ prefer short to medium tags, but i've been known to word vomit from time to time
▷ i'm slow as fuck ... so ... i'm all about that backtag life
▷ also not against assumed cr, as long as i'm familiar with your canon
▷ ABSOLUTE LONG SHOT, but i'd love to fuck around with an axel for all the negative cr, filthy smut and/or toxic shipping purposes 👀👀👀👀👀 happy to work something out post-canon, diverge from canon, or toss them both into a dbd au
▷ SPEAKING OF DBD AU—also interested in exploring that with handholding bc i'm just wingin' it like a baby bird bro. i haven't added this to tom's dbd au info page yet, but his realm is focused around hanniger mines, specifically tunnel 5. two levels of tunnels with two main entrances, and two "escape hatches", which are just smaller entrances/exits. out front is mainly dirt and gravel with a scattering of abandoned vehicles, and mining carts. out back is more wooded with axel's cabin at the edge. more than happy to assume tom arrived with 1 or 2 survivors ( axel and/or sarah ) but i'd prefer to tweak their knowledge of the miner's true identity.
▷ same face trash; particularly interested in dean winchester and soldier boy—the trashier, the better ( "trashy" is subjective )
▷ more same face trash; probably another long shot but, an au where tom and the miner manage to literally split by some mysterious bullshit or w/e. the miner has tom's face and they end up connected in more ways than one—meaning, the miner can't physically harm tom without harming himself, and vice versa ( just an idea, definitely open to discussion ) (( i call dibs on the miner )) JUST SAYIN' ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
▷ interested in someone stalking and/or manipulating tom; he rips his mask off after every murder, theatrical effect or not, i'd love to exploit that. stalk him for a story, a sick interest in serial killers, whatever your little heart desires. for the manipulation aspect, i'm keen on au-ing the ending and killing off axel and sarah in the explosion. tom escapes, and successfully frames axel in the process.
▷ a mental institute au, sort of; tom begrudgingly "befriends" one of the patients. all details surrounding this are up for discussion. post-canon, they end up crossing paths again while tom is on the run ( i think i'd prefer meme hopping for this one, but it depends on plotting )
▷ also super interested in exploring post-canon; the ending gave me the impression that tom was still unaware, because after he takes the mask off, there's a brief flash of fear and confusion. but i've read other theories that suggest he became aware, and was shocked to realize that it was him all along before "warden" took over again. honestly, i love both. one small idea i had hinges on a hostage scenario. he's found limping on the side of the road, someone is stupid enough to pick him up, and he takes advantage of that. let me just add—I'M NOT AGAINST STOCKHOLM SYNDROME 👀👀 or if you happen to have other ideas for post-canon, I WELCOME THEM
▷ and idk, just general bullying—let him be an asshole to your character ( MAYBE we can work in some enemies to complicated lovers, or "friends" with benefits, but the benefits are hatefucks lmao )
▷ i'm super fucking easy, and wide open to just about everything if you have something else in mind

feel free to pm me ( also have plurk and discord, just ask )

I could do Dean, Soldier Boy, Beau Arlen, Castiel or Sam.

omg, you can't just throw five dudes at me and expect me to choose—what if i want to sample them all??? lmao i'm a little keen on soldier boy bc i think they would probably butt heads a lot, and i kinda sorta love the idea of tom feeling emasculated by his strength. i suppose a lot of this can be said for dean too.

but i also wanna leave it up to you, like who do you think would have the most interaction potential, y'know?

I don't know Tom well enough to say for sure. I would think Sam or Castiel since they would openly embrace a gay relationship, while Dean or Soldier Boy would be much tougher. Beau would work as well, but he wouldn't have the same need to want to help him the way Cas or Sam would. However, I would have no issues trying them all out!
