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.

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
→ adriel | an original character
→ oersted | live a live

preferences
→ adriel's tldr: he is a (forcibly) superhuman “hero” who was held captive and trapped inside a suit of armor for most of his upbringing. brought up violent and was effectively Truman Show’d into believing he was the protagonist of the universe before being forced into reality. can be kind and cruel in equal measures, and has a penchant for tending to others out of both duty and an earnest love for struggling creatures. doesn’t have much decorum or care for social norms! i have his info in his journal, but...

→ for adriel, i'm largely interested in playing out scenarios with characters navigating their humanity -- bring me your ocs or any crosscanon/crossmedium, i am very honored to be able to play him off of anyone, haha. he still exists within the "fetch quest" mode and will do things for others for little reason beyond his own attachment to duty. he can be ridiculous, crude, childish and plain eccentric. if we've tagged in /any/ capacity, please feel welcome to hit me up; i welcome old and new cr alike! whether it's accepting those who would be rejected by the world, picking up orphaned children, befriending or finding enemies in fellow warriors, etc. adriel is on a hunt for new experiences within a world he has been shut away from. very easy to jamjar and au into other worlds need be since he comes from an intersection of modernity and fantasy.

→ i am open to shipping and potentially smut on him, but it'll definitely take buildup and chemistry. so if you're down for the slowburn i am too! 18+ characters of all genders for this.

→ for oersted, i am interested in exploring the depths of interpersonal relationships for him since he's desperate for contact and love. i can play him either prior to his transformation or after, and in earlier canon points i am down for plots centered around fealty, duty and the loneliness he's repressed -- whereas later canon points may veer moreso into corruption, darker themes or him being a sad, pathetic wet dog on a journey to redemption.

→ very ota to shipping and smut on him. 16+ and ota to all genders, can also deep dive into scenarios such as arranged marriage, him stockholming a woman or man into becoming his spouse, or him rediscovering his "goodness" through someone willing to see the better side of him. he's a demon and basically the antichrist at that so you can expect weird shit from him. i dropped off the face of the planet for a bit so if you recognize me, feel free to hit me back up for any threads or cr lost to time!

→ comment, pm me here or find me on my public plurk that is exclusively for rp. might be a bit slow at tags as i pick through them in this coming week!

Hello! I've seen your OC around and wanted to tag them, but I couldn't think of a good starter. I'd be happy to offer Ayame here, or my other OC Sofia (kratiston) for Adriel. I like the ideas you've listed for him, so I'm pretty open to what we can do. Sofia might be a better match for him character-wise, for starters. But Ayame and him are also on the look-out for new experiences so really, either of them can work.

Or both women if you're into that.

[personal profile] vitrines 2023-08-14 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
hello there! thank you for reaching out — i’ve seen your characters around and would love to do something. we could always start with one and try both in time. i’d be down! i know you have ayame around on some memes, are there any specific scenarios you’d like to play around in? i could definitely see him being an ally to either character and work around that.
zenoh: (Default)

[personal profile] zenoh 2023-08-14 03:55 pm (UTC)(link)
My immediate thought is Ayame and Adriel going by a bucket list of things they want to try or see, like activities or places to see etc. But they also stop over a place if it needs hero-related help, then leave after they're done. I can see Ayame being patient with his flaws and him having to tolerate her eccentricities too whenever she decides it's her turn to be weird.

[personal profile] vitrines 2023-08-16 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
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!

[personal profile] zenoh 2023-08-16 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah the rain meme works nicely if you want to start us off!

hello! you know i'm already a big fan of adriel, so i'd love to do more with him as blade. blade definitely struggles with his humanity (and identity too, most likely) because a bunch of bad things happened so having someone to help him navigate through that without manipulating him would be v. interesting. 🥺 but also good for him, since i feel like he wouldn't know how to deal with kindness, lmao. but yes! star rail universe makes it easy to just include any world into its storyline so blade could def. just be randomly in adriel's world, blending in, following a script...

[personal profile] vitrines 2023-08-16 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
hey there!! sorry for the delay (and on my tag), i've been caught up with rl this week but thank you so much ❤️ you're too sweet! i am kinda-sorta canonblind (i know a lot through proxy) but blade has been fascinating to play off of and i'd be super up for seeing what these two could get up to! adriel would definitely want to take care of him in his own way and unearth his humanity for what it is -- alongside wanting to see if he can make living more bearable for him, if death is truly an impossibility. but he would still be on the hunt for a solution, even if it meant poking him with a sword a few times, haha.

we could either do jamjar, what you said orrr i could toss adri into his world and have him be a loser-fool who is just trying to get by and survive in a foreign land. it wouldn't be the first time! either way i would be 100% down for more threads ❤️

[personal profile] sparse 2023-08-16 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
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] vitrines 2023-08-19 03:49 pm (UTC)(link)
same here! i would love to explore that and his trauma response, especially because adri can weather some pretty severe reactions from people regardless of how ugly they may be. he Gets It in his own way.

belatedly -- i can start! i just tagged you on a texting meme but would love to do something prose oriented as well. let me know if you have him anywhere that would work! if not i can just hit up your open post with something <3 i'll get to it in these coming days.
sparse: (Default)

[personal profile] sparse 2023-08-19 03:59 pm (UTC)(link)
it would be really fun to write. 🥺 especially if adri can find a way to soothe it... it'll be so good.

the texting thread is so cute already though, but also! i'd love smth prose-y too. my open post works just fine so feel free to drop it there. c: i haven't been putting him in memes lately because i have a pret. good amount now hehe. BUT YES take your time!! i'm super excited.
crisantemo: (keep on beating)

[personal profile] crisantemo 2023-08-16 09:52 am (UTC)(link)
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.

[personal profile] vitrines 2023-08-17 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
hello there!! yes, i remember well! i would absolutely be down — she would definitely compel him and would view her as a completely ordinary person deserving of connection, which might prove to be interesting!

i would also be up for tagging her on oersted too, since he has an affinity for nonhuman beings, although while both of these dudes are insane his affections are generally much more deranged, lmao. if there’s a specific dynamic or scenario you’d like to explore with her i can throw one of them at you on a meme!
crisantemo: (Default)

[personal profile] crisantemo 2023-08-17 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
lapis is used to people being wary of her and is still adjusting to her newfound nonhuman-ness, so adriel treating her like a normal person will get her to "?????" but she will still! appreciate it very much!! scenarios with them will be very 'two cryptids trying to people' i think.

though i'll admit i'm very weak for arranged marriage scenarios, so that immediately caught my eye for oersted. sometimes your questionable eldritch grandmother decides that getting married to who is basically the antichrist is great networking, and lapis is the sort to make the best of a situation. or at least try to. i've thrown her in a couple of memes if any of these work, and i can also throw her at him if there's any memes you prefer!

gently peeks at this fashionably (?) late

i enjoyed the brief text thread we had with adriel and fig! if you'd like to do more with them i am 100% down c:
