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.

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.

death note, mobile suit gundam: witch from mercury, bungo stray dogs

[personal profile] elanprime 2023-08-13 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
Offering
▎📓 Death Note: Light Yagami [personal profile] forfeiter (info, permissions)
Flavors: A. Pre-timeskip Kira (17 - 18); B. Yotsuba amnesiac (18); C. Post-timeskip Kira (23); D. Kira-less AU (18 - 23+)
Canonblind? He's a whip-smart, well-intentioned golden boy in public and an anxious misanthrope in private. He's also a serial killer* ("Kira").

▎💻 Death Note: L [personal profile] forayer (info, permissions)
Flavors: A. "Ryuzaki" persona (25); B. No persona (25); C. Persona tailored to your character/their situation (18 - 25+)
Canonblind? He's a reclusive detective with three primary motivations -- finding the truth, "winning," and (preferably) not dying.


▎🖤 Death Note: Misa Amane [personal profile] determiner (info, permissions)
Flavors: A. Pre-timeskip Kira (19 - 20); B. Yotsuba amnesiac (20); C. Post-timeskip Kira (25); D. Post-series amnesiac (25+); E. Kira-less AU (19 - 25+)
Canonblind? She's a bright, gutsy romantic with a promising career in the entertainment industry and a dark past. She's also a serial killer* ("the second Kira").


▎💸 Mobile Suit Gundam - The Witch from Mercury: Elan Ceres [personal profile] elanprime (info, permissions)
Flavors: A. Pre-finale (17/18) or B. Post-finale (20/21), but please be mindful that a lack of canon information makes him OC-adjacent**
Canonblind? He's the fickle, somewhat obnoxious heir to one of the show's scummiest companies, selected for his excellent credentials. An entourage of clones does all his dirty work.


▎🌊 Bungo Stray Dogs: Sakunosuke Oda [personal profile] pt3 (info & permissions)
Flavors: Just the one! (23)
Canonblind? He's the only sane, decent person here. A former hitman for hire turned murder-repulsed mafia operative after a fateful encounter taught him the value of a life. His deepest wish is to write in a cottage by the sea.


* We can take or leave the serial killing, or find an AU analogue for it that makes sense (ex., a more innocuous secret, something else that forces distance, etc.).

** I'm fleshing out his personality and developing his background as I go, so if you're a canonmate and would like a thread together, please don't be shy about sharing what you want me to keep/drop/expand upon!



Seeking
▎📓 for Light ➤ I just want him to form a substantial connection with another character that isn't for the sake of some goal, scheme, or other purely instrumental purpose. In most cases, this would be like trying to mix oil and water, but I think we could make it work!! I suspect the best types for this would be other men who are smart, equal parts driven and depressed, and somewhat competitive, or women who are all of this and can ignore/don't mind/would correct his deep-rooted sexism. I'd like it best if it isn't shippy from the get-go and let any romance (if it exists) develop on its own. I also like throwing him into philosophical and/or psychologically fraught conversations, so if you've got a meme or pitch that would be well-suited for that, hmu!

▎💻 for L ➤ I'm experimenting with him! I like writing him as a kind of "hollow person" who is difficult -- if not impossible -- to get to know, or to form a truly reciprocal/reciprocated intimacy with, so he's ideal if you'd like a thread that focuses specifically on your character and/or whatever's at stake between them. I genuinely cannot imagine shipping him with a character that isn't, like, Light, but I'm prepared to be surprised?! My kingdom if you come to me with a scenario that would see him constructing an entire persona to fit the situation/your character, but that may require a bit more discussion in advance (which I am very glad to have).

▎🖤 for Misa ➤ Look, I know she's canonically straight. I don't care. I'd also like her to form a substantial connection with another (preferably female!) character wherein her extremely broken conception of intimacy is at the very least acknowledged, if not slowly rectified. She's (for the most part) pretty easygoing and fun to be around, so I imagine she'd get along with a variety of different characters. That said, I'm most interested in throwing her at types that are similar to her (ex., other cheerful characters with tragic pasts and/or terrible secrets), or who are very, very different (ex., women who are more professional, reserved, or dedicated to a cause/organization).

▎☠️ for all three of the above ➤ Canonmates would be supremely cool, but I know they're hard to come by! Still, if you've had a Death Note muse lying around for the last ten years... talk to me, lmao.

▎💸 for Elan ➤ I check the "you're in jail" meme every time it's posted on Bakerstreet for a Shaddiq he might convince to, like, rethink taking the fall for everything that happened and recruit to Bitch Corp. Jeturk Heavy Machinery. It'd be my personal Quiet Zero (whatever the actual fuck that means) if a Guel and/or Secelia came out of the woodwork -- you have no idea how I yearn for their disaster trio and maybe... actual... bonding?? Very open to an angsty post-finale confrontation with Suletta regarding the whole clone thing, but that'd require some hashing out OOC-ly (which I'm happy to have if there's a way to swing the scene that'd be fulfilling, on some generous definition of the term, for both characters). Other Elans are always welcome for shenanigans and in the extremely ill-advised group chat. Open to shipping with everybody already mentioned except Suletta, Miorine, and other Elan primes (but the clones are OK, with discussion -- he apparently has seven of them and only two show up in canon, so if you want your own clone OC...). Not super interested in crosscanon PSLs but if you've got an idea for a meme thread, feel free to get in touch!

▎🌊 for Oda ➤ I have never written this character type before?! I have no idea what I'm doing?? Other members of the so-called Buraiha trio welcome and crosscanon with all sorts would be great. I pretty much just want him to have some decent conversations and build some meme-spanning CR to get a feel for his voice and life perspective, so if you're voicetesting a character, too, let's help each other out! Just check his permissions to gauge if your muse would be a good fit.



Notes
🕒 CET/CEST. I try to tag back once or twice per day and to have no more than a handful of threads going on at one time. There may be stretches when I'm unable to tag back for a while due to my work; I will let you know if this becomes the case.

📝 Looking primarily for PSLs or meme threads! My priority is Elan Ceres right now (SIGH), so I'm slower/less responsive with the Death Notes and Oda. I miiight be open to a game with Elan if it has (or will have?) canonmates.

❤️ I really like coming up with off-the-cuff AUs, especially with crosscanon characters! My favorites run wild with stuff that canons have neglected -- characters' histories, motivations, and alternative directions for their development; bits and pieces of worldbuilding that don't make sense or aren't quite "done," etc. I love careful, organic slow burns, too, if you've got the patience for them, hehe. Currently I seem to be in the mood for unabashed ridiculousness or intense angst, so... please hit me up if you're down for either (both??).

❌ I don't write explicit content (sex, hard gore, etc.) and prefer not to discuss these OOC-ly, but I'm alright fading-to-black on such content if/when this makes sense. I'd rather not write romances with characters under 18, but am open to exceptions for pre-finale Elan so long as the other character is the same age.

💌 Drop a comment here or PM any journal if you're interested. I don't have Plurk, but I'm happy to give you my Discord if we hit it off!
