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.

Baldur’s Gate 3, FF8, FF14, Kingdom Hearts

[personal profile] ersatzknight 2023-10-17 04:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[characters offered]:
  • Baldur’s Gate 3: Astarion
  • Final Fantasy 8: Seifer
  • Final Fantasy 14: Urianger
  • Kingdom Hearts: Aqua
  • Various Others, including OC’s


[rp you're offering for / rp type you'd wanna play in]:

I’m interested in throwing any of those four at castmates or crosscanon in general (and down for shipping/smut) but I’ve some specifics for them as well:

Astarion: Halsen, other elves, other vampires

I’m interested in things like the fallout of canon events, learning how to Elf, this little dumpster fire actually talking to someone about shit, reconciling liking being a kinda-hero with being an actual monster, etc.

Seifer: literally anyone except Zell (sorry)

Super interested in post-canon shenanigans and anti-hero/Byronic Nonsense with him, love me a slow burn romance too, open to Kingdom Hearts stuff and AU’s

Urianger MOENBRYDA, Thancred, Scions

Let him do nerd shit, I’d love some espionage shenanigans and hun being a sneaky bastard for the good guys, I’m tentative on Ascians/Ancients related things but can be convinced, open to AU’s

Aqua: Terra, Riku, Terranort, Hollow Bastion Gang, Xigbar

I’m mostly dusting her off, but I’d love some having a competent Keyblade Adult, totally down for some Darkness Corruption plot as well!

[preferences]: I’m looking for long term stuff, slow tagging is fine within reason (a tag a month is my limit in slowness), I’m available on discord as well as here

I’m very tentatively open to a game with either Seifer or Astarion.

Hey! Are you interested in anything shippy with Squall & Seifer? Maybe something post-canon slow burn? Of course it would be slow burn with these two hahah.

[personal profile] ersatzknight 2023-10-24 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
I am a sucker for post-canon slow burn between these two, especially if there's different burn times on different aspects of their Taylor Swift Song level Complicated Relationship. I have a good number of ideas depending on how long post-canon we want to go (this game and it's world and general philosophies/theologies live Rent Free in my head a lot okay)

[personal profile] shear_trigger 2023-10-24 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
All of this is so painfully accurate, Squall being so emotionally stunted half the time but Seifer feelings are VERY complicated and he hates him for that-

I'm always a fan of a few months after post-game where Squall realizes he's suffering from mad burn out from EVERYTHING being put on his shoulders is fun for me but I'd love to hear your ideas!

[personal profile] ersatzknight 2023-10-24 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
Better to hate him than have no opinion at all~

I like a good year or so for things to percolate a bit (and Seifer to get his feet under him a little), politics to get moving a bit and all that. I like the thought of there being some sort of "damnit we actually need Seifer, wait where the hell did he even go?" and Squall being "......give me a week. :|"

Whether that's for trying to get him in for a trial in Galbadia, needing someone (actually, bizarrely) competent as a second commander/solo field agent, a gunblade instructor, keep him from getting assassinated, or something else.

[personal profile] shear_trigger 2023-10-24 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I love these ideas. A year or so since anyone's heard from Seifer at all, Squall's kind of running ragged because he won't listen to anyone to slow down anyway, politics are getting heated and everyone looking at Squall as a leader to deal with certain things. Them realizing they do need someone like Seifer around (as a competent Go To as well as getting Squall to fucking listen and rest but they don't tell him that) and as much as Squall wouldn't admit it, he agrees? Then Squall goes to look for him?

I think that could really work well! I'd be down for that 100%

[personal profile] ersatzknight 2023-10-24 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
I can see Seifer just out by one of the Islands Closest to Heaven/Hell just... hiding in a frozen hellhole town nobody cares in, killing monsters, shoveling snow, learning how to make weapons maybe.

He's totally fine. Totally. Not having any problems with anything in his head nope. Fine. :|

Do you have a spot to toss a starter or were you wanted to?

[personal profile] shear_trigger 2023-10-24 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
Squall won't say a word about how he's been wondering about Seifer this whole time- no!!

I have a musebox I can make a post for this in! I'll write up a starter and link it to you :)

[personal profile] ersatzknight 2023-10-24 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
They didn't talk about their anything before, why start now and ruin a terrible communication issue?

Whoo!
