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.

fgo/fate series

offering:
» Fairy King Oberon
» Sakura Matou


looking for:
» Oberon: Still voicetesting him, so anything goes. Would love to play him off the LB6 cast in particular (my life savings for a Morgan/Castoria/Muramasa/etc), but the sky is the limit, I’ll happily throw him at any Servant or character in the Type Moon universe. He’s also been great for cross-canon shenanigans, especially non-human characters.

Gen is preferred at the moment but I’m willing to try shipping! Just keep in mind that he’s incredibly difficult to get a romance going with (see his journal for more info if you’re not canon familiar!) so characters will either need to be saintly, patient, or insane.

Preferred memes: ANYTHING but to name a few, holy grail war AUs, arranged marriage, soul mates, caught in the rain/snow, body heat, monster forms, reincarnation, etc. Also Oberon is a little fuck so he’s the type to trap people in dreams/memories if it suits his purposes, wonderful for psychological horror.

» Sakura: took a long break from her and now dipping my toes back into threads. Long, elaborate psls are great, especially where she can explore her trauma, and I've had a lot of success AUing her into other canons, too. I am NOT looking for a prince type to save her, my interests are more into Dark Sakura territory.

Unlike that bitch Oberon, she’s great for shipping! Again, not really into super sweet and sugary romances, but characters that’d be a bit more “anti-hero” are right up her alley. All Type Moon characters are welcome, and I love me some good cross-canon shipping too.

Preferred memes: holy grail war AUs, arranged marriage, soul mates, caught in the rain/snow, body heat, reincarnation, picture prompts. Once again the sky’s the limit.


contact:
» EST, working full time and in my last semester of grad school, so tags will get sporadic on my end from time to time

» PM journals to get in contact! I also have an open plurk for anyone who wants to add.

» If you wanna try a meme first to see how we bounce off each other as rpers, just lemme know where you want a starter and we’ll see how things go!

heyyy what's good.

would love to thread something with these two, tho i'm feeling a bit wishy-washy on what specifically? i suppose i'd lean towards something in lb6 canon, idk maybe something as simple as a late night talk while the rest of the party is asleep. the insomnia meme could be an easy plug and play. i am pretty interested in them discussing the true effects of their fae eyes and the fact that they can basically see right through each other.

uhhh dream stuff could also be fun? we know that her sleep is terrible, so maybe he'd be willing to temporarily stick her in a nice dream for once. which could backfire in some way, because i'm kind of here for the angst, ngl. (the true lb6 experience.)

but yeah, if there's something you've thought of to explore with these two, definitely let me know. will take any ideas, haha. mine are vague!

yeeees gimme some of those late night talks. I haven't really had a chance to explore that angle for Oberon yet, given that I don't want to force players to contend with the whole "he can see u lying" bit. But since Castoria is in the same boat, they can just awkwardly dance around the topic before having to attempt even a modicum of honesty.

honestly though I'd also love exploring a dream-related meme at some point, too. Please imagine their memories getting slushied together as Oberon loses some control of the dream. One time he tries to be nice and it backfires. This is why he's gotta stick to crimes.

Would you prefer finding/waiting for an insomnia meme on bakerstreet or just sending it to a musebox? I'm good either way!

yeeeaaah honestly the fae eyes are tricky for rp purposes, but c'est la vie.

i've got you right here

i'm definitely down for a potential follow-up thread with dream shenanigans, but ^ is a good place to start, i think! lmk and i can write the starter too, it might just take a bit
