September 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.

fe3h/few3h & hsr for canon and cross

[personal profile] crestsidestory 2023-09-12 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
offering: Edelgard von Hresvelg (both Houses & Hopes) and Byleth Eisner (bylass, Hopes flavor); Jing Yuan and Kafka

seeking: shippy shenanigans! I like ongoing psl sagas but meme continuity would also be fun.

for canon ships:
for Edelgard I'm into dimigard, edelbert, ferdigard (especially Hopes-style), edelthea. I like shipping her with the Faerghus Four and would really enjoy a tension-filled slow burn with Rhea or Seteth. Also interested in memes with Shez, Yuri, Marianne, Mercedes, Balthus, or Hapi to see if we can make chemistry happen.
for Byleth my otp is shezleth but I'd probably also work well with the lords/their retainers (love working through those trust issues!) and Jeritza.
for Jing Yuan my favorites are Blade, Luocha, Jingliu, Dan Heng, and Fu Xuan but I could easily be sold on other castmates if there's chemistry, especially Yukong, Himeko, Kafka, Welt, Tingyun ("Tingyun"). Maybe Natasha or Serval? He carries the burden of being very shippable but I don't see him going for anyone who isn't a mature adult.
for Kafka my favorites are Blade and Himeko but like I said I'm chemistry-chaser. I'll probably be a pretty easy sell on Sam. my shippy goal for Kafka is for her to one day realize she's afraid to lose someone but I'd like to do some real work to get her there because wtf is fear.

for crosscanon ships:
for Edelgard - dragon-related shenanigans with ffxiv characters? red lyrium assistance from Dragon Age characters? Game of Thrones is an easy fit with her. I enjoy meshing with other fantasy settings so we can always try out a meme and see if sparks fly. a huge long shot but I kind of have some thoughts about how she might mesh with Jing Yuan. always happy to discuss AUs or jamjars but I'm kind of burning out on the traditional emperor/bodyguard (unless there's a twist, maybe?)
for Kafka - She'd be fun in any setting if you don't mind space travel. You can't tell me she wouldn't be fun with Cowboy Bebop characters.

general likes:
enemies to lovers(!!), battle couple tropes, love confessions, characters thinking they can handle casual or one-time sex and absolutely 100% failing to, reluctant arranged marriages that wind through conflicted feelings and sexual tension to end up at genuine love, masquerade balls (even though... my characters... are all pretty recognizable), fake relationships complicated by real feelings, us-against-the-world situations where characters are forced to rely on each other when they otherwise wouldn't. AUs: vampires/werewolves/monsters, warring factions in space, simple canon divergence. I can and will happily do fluff but overall I like dynamics with some push and pull to work through.

actual smut's not required but I'm here for it. first times, sneaky meetings (cathedral sex for Edelgard!), angry hate-that-I-love-you sex, idiots yearning while they bang, sex pollen enabling existing feelings, etc. when it comes to kinkier smut if you like writing switchy dynamics we'll probably get along great. I'd rather not start with smut if you're offering an unfamiliar OC.

pm if you're interested and we can brainstorm!

I'd be happy to bounce off your hopesmitri! maybe something that starts with some vague admiration during their last encounter on opposite sides of the battlefield and then jumping to Jeralt's mercs settling in with the kingdom after they start working together?
