October 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.

Same! All of our threads have been a thrill to tag you with! I didn't know I ended up threading a lot of your characters, especially Yami and Lethe lol. I should honestly start doing the same in using my other characters outside of Ranma lmao.

Same! I'm cool with either or, I'd be down for trying a cross-canon one or canon, either one's cool with me. Same lol, as someone who is canonblind to her series.

Drive by love for poor Carver, if you want some crossover Shenanigans I can offer an Astarion in these trying times but that’s… well it’s own kettle of fish.

I’d be interested in som P5 shenanigans as well! I think I have a Ryuji floating around somewhere but I’ve also been smacked by the “yanno, ff8 would crossover super easy” thought as well!

[sticks out a little leggy for Kingdom Hearts]

I can offer this asshat (Seifer) or Aqua?

This is so very sweet and really just the cherry on the top of my day, thank you. I've been extremely fortunate and played with some really lovely people, and no one has been anything but kind and receptive to Nepione. A truly welcoming experience. ♥

I'll send you a PM today after my workday concludes!

Word of Honor, Untamed, Journey of Chong Zi

[personal profile] xie_er 2023-10-17 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Offering:
Xie Wang - Word of Honor ([personal profile] xie_er)
Nie Huaisang - The Untamed ([personal profile] doesknow)
Lan Sizhui - The Untamed ([personal profile] notaturnip)
Mu Yu - Journey of Chong Zi ([personal profile] qianmian)
Zhuo Hao - Journey of Chong Zi ([personal profile] lawless_son)

I also play Wei Wuxian, and for Untamed I've read MDZS so happy to mix live action and book canons

Seeking:

For Xie - My kingdom for a Ye Baiyi because the fandom has made me Yexie trash. A bigger kingdom for a Zhao Jing for some fucked up nonsense.
Also open to other older men who are better for him than Zhao Jing, or other castmates in general.
For Xie I really like modern AUs of various flavours, but open to just about anything.

For Huaisang - Jiang Cheng for shipping, Nie Mingjue for brotherly shenanigans, anybody else for anything else!
Modern AUs are also fun, but I love just about anything with Huaisang so come at me

For Sizhui - Jin Ling or Lan Jingyi for shipping, though I'm open to other things. Parents and uncles and prospective parents and cross-canon and anybody!
I love doing AUs with Sizhui; what if somebody else adopted him, what if nobody else adopted him, what if his father was Wen Chao or Wen Xu, what if Wen Qing lived, etc etc.

For Mu Yu/Zhuo Hao - Castmates tbh. Also WoH people for facetwin shenanigans. Qin Ke to ship with Zhuo Hao. I haven't had much chance to play either of them so I'd really like somebody to plot and voicetest with and see what happens.
Crosscanon also works!

In general - I'm a sucker for the classics; arranged marriage, soulmates, fake dating etc, so any of these with any of the above is my jam, hmu

Contact

Reply to this, message my journal or hmu on plurk [plurk.com profile] eloquencejones

I'm on GMT and usually around relatively often, though I can sometimes get a bit overwhelmed with various factors and flake for a time, but I will come back!
the_infant_death: (Default)

LoZ: OoT/MM, IwtV (book), The Witcher, Valdemar, ect.

[personal profile] the_infant_death 2023-10-17 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[characters offered]: Claudia from Interview with the Vampire, book only (Tiny angry vampire. Looks five. Is not. Will maul you for laughing at her.)

Link from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time/Majora’s Mask (Hero on the loose, speaks sign language only, sometimes 10, sometimes 17, it’s magic! Look no he doesn’t know how that works either, just roll with it okay.)

Geralt of Rivia, The Witcher, Netflix and books (Extremely disgruntled monster-hunter with self-worth issues and a begrudging commitment to The Greater Good and his horse.)

Alberich and Kantor, Valdemar books (Ex-military commander turned weapons master who can see the future and his magical Not A Horse.)

Alec and the Black, The Black Stallion books (1940s New Yawk jockey and his Super Special horse who have Adventures.)

Deacon Silvey, Threshold novels (Depressed alcoholic Seer who can see the past, open doors to other dimensions, and helps rework the past. He hates that he can do this.)

[looking for]: PSLs/serial memes, gen, action/adventure, hurt/comfort, horror, found family. Shipping is iffy, I lose interest fast if it’s pure fluff romance.

Crosscanon, AUs of most kinds, canon fix-its, canon break-it-into-smithareens-then-maybe-fix-it, “we fell through dimensions and gotta get home somehow” (no like 4 of these people canonically cross dimensions. Alec and the Black, it’s debatable.) Also “I fell into your canon now I’m stuck here I might as well adopt you” because found family.

Castmates welcome but some of these are ancient fandoms I’m not holding out much hope here.

Also welcome: “wait you’re me” scenarios because the inevitable identity crisis is amusing. Or “wait you’re not MY version of character A!”

I will play with OCs but I’m hesitant I’ve had bad experiences in the past.

Canons I’m particularly keen on playing crossovers with: MCU, Stranger Things, LotR, all Zelda games, The Magnus Archives, American Horror Story, The Walking Dead, Fullmetal Alchemist, Escaflowne, Saiyuki, Homestuck, all high-fantasy canons (D&D, Forgotten Realms, Dragonlance, Wheel of Time, Pern, ect, ect), anything to do with horses, 90% of anime/manga

My kingdom for a Scorpio Races/The Black Stallion crossover, holy moly. (Hi I am a horse girl how can you possibly tell.)

I love world-building and scene-setting, if you have a character you want to mash against mine but no idea how, speak up and we’ll see what we can think up!

[NOT looking for]: Smut, Omega-verse of any kind, Game of Thrones, sci-fi of any type, and the incomprehensible K-dramas (sorry guys I just canNOT parse it)

[Assorted details]: Comment here or PM me and we can plot by PM or by Plurk, I do a have Discord but I hate it. :C

I prefer prose over brackets, I backtag forever, I’m in Central US time zones, I respond at weird times, I’m a medium-to-slow tagger these days. No drama. I don’t bite.

Hey! [community profile] faderift might be a good fit for you. It's a small game based on the Dragon Age game series (but being canon familiar definitely isn't required—it's an older game that's spiralled pretty far and away from canon events now). From your checklist:
★ Backtag friendly, slower pace preferred ✅ We've been called the 'game for tired olds'. Most of us have RL obligations and are backtag friendly and/or enthusiasts
★ Easy AC please ✅ AC checks are every three months; provide three proofs during that time frame, but those proofs can have occurred any time during that 3 month period (again: backtag friendly)
★ Sex-friendly games are a-ok but nothing totally sex focused ✅ Sex has been known to happen in inboxes, but isn't the focus of the game
★ Genre ✅ FR focuses on a fantasy!war, so we occasionally have plots with horror or intense elements but by and large I'd describe it as a action/adventure/sol game
★ Open to AUs, SOL a maybe ✅ You can choose to either have your character arrive in the world through a Rift like a more typical jamjar, or AU them to be a character native to the setting; we have SOL elements, but there's a lot of plot you can opt into (or create!) if you want to chase that instead
★ No 100% power loss ✅ There are power nerfs to even the playing field of the player characters, but we've had a fair number of DnD types before

Other misc notes:
★ Baldur's Gate enthusiasts; I think 90% of the playerbase is chewing through the game right now lol
★ Player Characters skew older; I know this isn't a big deal for everyone, but worth noting we have a good number of characters in their 30s-50s
★ A robust collection of magic nerds/scholars-type player characters who would probably love to talk nerdy with Gale
★ Ye olde tdm

me starting the game: haha look at all my cool companions!

me not even halfway into act 1: oh no you're all like this????????????

literally only halsin going "yeah i was a sex slave for like three years but i'm fine now :)" but basically YES i can't get enough of how rich the text of the game is and how distinct all of the companion stories feel despite playing on the same themes; they're all characters who were taken advantage of to some extent when they were young and only now really developing the tools to get out of it ... or get worse 😭

i DO wonder if/what got cut for the sake of release, but i know that's just because i'm greedy ... i just want more of this game 😩 but also a "nice" ending for karlach i'm begging you larian

and please, i live for the rambling!!!

Hey there! [community profile] faderift might be a good fit for you. It's a small game based on the Dragon Age game series (but being canon familiar definitely isn't required—it's an older game that's spiralled pretty far and away from canon events now). From your checklist:
— slow to moderate pace, backtag friendly, easy ac ✅ We're all old have have RL responsibilities that keeps the playerbase pretty backtag friendly; the ac is simple and designed not to punish folks who are backtagging threads.
— not really interested in sex games ✅
— 50/50 on memory loss ✅ No memory loss
— down for basically anything else ✅ FR is a fantasy game focused on a war against NPC big bads. I'd currently describe it as action/adventure/sol-in-an-interesting-setting type games. If you want to pursue the war plot, there's a lot to interact with (or create), but if that's not your bag then you can SOL it up with the rest as window dressing.
— slight preference for jamjar over au ✅ Canon characters can either be jamjarred in via a magic portal called a Rift, or be AUd.
— dreamwidth only ✅

Other misc notes:
★ Baldur's Gate enthusiasts; I think 90% of the playerbase is chewing through the game right now 🤡
★ We previously had a terrific Astarion in game, and I bet you could get a jumpstart on some neat CR if you cared to
★ Player Characters skew older; I know this isn't a big deal for everyone, but worth noting we have a good number of characters in their 30s-50s
★ Ye olde tdm

Hey! [community profile] faderift might be a good fit for you. It's a small game based on the Dragon Age game series (but being canon familiar definitely isn't required—it's an older game that's spiralled pretty far and away from canon events now). From your checklist:
- dw only ✅
- uncomplicated ac ✅
- slow to medium pace ✅ We're on the slow side, backtag friendly (with ac designed to enable that).
- some overarching plot without needing to be tuned in 24/7 ✅ FR focuses on a fantasy-flavored war with npc big bads. I'd describe it as action/adventure/sol-in-an-interesting-setting. There's plenty of plot to dig into (or build) if you want to, but if that's not your preference then it can easily act as window dressing to your sol-y RP.
- smut focused or sex friendly games are cool ✅ sex friendly
- good with horror themes, not into games that are solely horror focused ✅ Horror themes occassionally crop up in plots, but they're few and far between.
- no total power loss (unless regain is an option) ✅ There are power nerfs to keep the player character abilities fairly equitable, but we've had dnd types before.
- castmates are fun, but not necessary ❌ No castmates, but a lot of the players are Crit Roll fans

Other misc notes:
★ Player Characters skew older; I know this isn't a big deal for everyone, but worth noting we have a good number of characters in their 30s-50s

LMAOOO this is literally it. all of you NEED THERAPY!!! the only one who maybe doesn't is minsc bc his himbo brain is full of hamster fuzz and nothing else. and maybe not halsin..... but i still cannot believe this man was like "hey btw a bear tried to bone me" and then just continued on a casual conversation as if that's just normal every day behavior. sir please this is a wendy's

THEY'RE ALL VERY GOOD and honestly anytime i see anyone hating on one of the companions i judge their media literacy. lae'zel gets a lot of haters just bc she's prickly but she might genuinely be one of the most honorable members of the party, how can you hate BAE'zel

omg pls let karlach have nice things, she just wants to go to build-a-bear. but on a serious note they keep patching more and more and adding in more content so ... mayhaps ... there will be more for us in store ...

also that's good bc you should know by my tl;dr tags and these replies that i lack the ability to shut up 😔

That's fine by me! My Genshin knowledge isn't the best as well, but we can definitely hash something out if you're still down.

And I'm liking the sound of both families benefiting from their marriage since it'd be a good opportunity for the Edogawa family to expand themselves and Yeyasu is open-minded enough to accept other cultures too. Perhaps that Ayato assassination could be a future plotline if you want to add some ~drama~ in the mix too! A third party who's not a fan of them joining together could do it.

That also sounds good with me. There's all kinds of demons in his world, so might be a chance for Yeyasu to want to show that they aren't all scary or threatening. They could tour each other's worlds for some cultural exchanges!

oh my god...this poor man....sir you're on the fast track to catching every unfortunate fantasy disease, please slow down??? THEY WILL WORK ON THIS...

i think luocha's generally a sharp enough sort to end up picking up on the partial blindness as they go along even without being informed, so! might be fun to see how long he opts to circle around outright saying anything about this and the Dragon Problems in general before finally getting into it at the most (in)opportune time. such as an occasion where siegfried might need to Ask For That Help yes hehe. there's a lot of potential here! i think we could have plenty to chew on and i am sure looking forward to it now rubs hands

also no worries at all about being slow! i've definitely also been hit by a case of the rp snails due to rl being supremely busy and turning my writing brain into mashed potato haha, but that just means we can trundle along at this together 🤝 here's to hoping your move goes smoothly as possible!

I might be biased bc historian is my actual day job but I'm like "I love putting together the past from unreliable narrators! I will eat it with a spoon!"

I commissioned most of my DH icons so I'd be willing to do that again, but I don't have any links to sources for her (cutscenes or w/e).

that sounds good!

the yashiro commission's boss is basically a yokai, and oni do exist in inazuma! unfortunately, a lot of people discriminate against oni, so i feel like the public wouldn't be so happy with yeyasu being engaged to ayaka, but it'd be a step in the right direction in like... inazuma becoming more accepting of non-humans!
