enablemeplz | 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.

➤ 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.

— Ash Tyler from Star Trek: Discovery but he hasn't gotten a proper voicetesting yet.

SEEKING

for Tyler, from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: Chapel, T'Pring

VERSE IDEAS Spoilers for Star Trek: Discovery season one

Click! Tabbed for length.
Lorca: A bunch here but some select expansions below

Lorca/Cornwell: I would love love love to write Prime Lorca's return to his home universe, and everything that entails: dealing with his angst around what he saw and did in the Mirror universe, his angst around the fact that nobody recognized that he'd been replaced, and the emotional fallout from Mirror Lorca's actions while impersonating him. The whole maelstrom of emotions surrounding Kat: Relief to see her again, disappointment and anger that she was successfully tricked, regret and self-loathing about the disappointment and anger considering she's a victim too. You know, just two hot people in their mid-fifties going through it together, with too much baggage and maturity between them to just fuck it out, as badly as they'd like to.

Lorca/Amanda: If a transporter accident can do what it does in Discovery then it can absolutely set Amanda up to get that captain D. Prime, Mirror, whatever. I just love Winona Ryder's Amanda and would enjoy any opportunity to rub elbows with one.

Tyler/Amanda, Georgiou: Remember that time he overtly flirted with his ex-girlfriend's pseudo-surrogate mom? (God I love this messy show.) More of that, please. Amanda obviously also has the added experience of bridging two cultures that would resonate with him hard.

Lorca/Chapel: Klingon War stuff, any or all of the following spaghetti vs wall: Stranded planetside in an active war zone, geomagnetic interference preventing communications and beaming. Relying on each other to survive. Lots of fear, violence, gore, and Doing What You Have To. Maybe Chapel is forced to take a life and he helps get her through the shock. (Maybe he could have taken that life himself but wanted to see what she was made of.) Spontaneous opportunity for bathing results in That Trope where characters are stripping down entirely out of necessity and then notice damn you fine. We might be dead tomorrow sex. Post-survival "seeing you brings it all back, but you're the only one who gets it" vibes.

Lorca/Chapel, La'an, T'Pring: Mirrorverse Emperor/Concubine AU. Dark and trashy. Coerced into it with some meticulously enforced freedoms and the threat of more weeks in the agonizer (as well as the possible threat of punishing others on the coerced's behalf). Intimate bathing scenarios, trauma bonding (feigned or genuine or both), D/s dynamics dressed up as mutual benefit, noncon dressed up as dubcon, personal injury tending for Chapel, let's go Gorn hunting! for La'an, teach-me-your-Vulcan-ways for T'Pring, no holds barred sparring, bloodplay, hatesex 🤫 Kill him in the end or set him up to be ripped apart by the oppressed masses President Snow style.

Chapel/Spock: Also Mirrorverse, and spun-off from the above (potentially flying in the face of TOS Mirror canon, don't worry about it): Mirror!Spock undercover as a full-blooded human, ranking up in the Empire to feed the Resistance information and plot a revolution. Crosses paths with Chapel who is looking for any way to undermine the Empire. Bonding over memories and stories of life in the Prime universe. They start working together to bring the whole fuckin' diseased corrupt temple down on the Terrans' heads. If you're more interested in this with La'an or T'Pring, I can swing them too.

Chapel/Spock: Normal universe but set during Spock's breakdown in Discovery season two. Chapel would still be in the process of compartmentalizing her war PTSD. Let's get these two traumatized kids together.

Chapel/Tyler: Complicated Klingon feelings. Could meet on a regular workday, could go dark and make them torture buddies. Tyler could be deliberately hiding his situation for Section 31 reasons, or be unaware of it and discover it along the way.

And now for something completely different (but equally sinful) — Michael/Spock: I have a Michael voice gently brewing and I will absolutely fire it up to a salacious boil if this very terrible thought has crossed anyone else's mind.

CONTACT, ETC

PM preferred or PP verhoeven!
Threads over memes, journals or private comms with mutual admin access, whatever's most comfortable.
Clear communication of limits a must with most of these. Constant communication isn't a requirement by any means but let's both be receptive to the occasional check-in. Don't want to cross any OOC boundaries, just the agreed upon IC ones.
As down as I am to thread out smut, I also love me some FTB.
PST, medium to slow speed with occasional quickfire grooves.
