December 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.

I don't have a specific character I'd like to see (though the fact that you play Ranma is amazing and Launch is love), but if you're looking for a TMD for anyone, including voice-testing, escordvi's test sail is up.

Maybe something where Maul hears about Obi-Wan still being alive thanks to his actions in the Kenobi series? He'd definitely drop everything to do with Crimson Dawn to go after his old obsession.

Or just they run into each other after Order 66 and end up having to team up since they have nothing left but each other?
catsgothistongue: (Glance behind)

[personal profile] catsgothistongue 2023-12-14 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks, Ranma's probably one of the characters I've written for the longest! And Launch is still in her voicetesting phase since I still need to go back and rewatch the original Dragon Ball. I might check out the test drive, what's Escordvi's like (the whole premise and all that)?
yuezun: (Default)

[personal profile] yuezun 2023-12-14 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
Premise is you've been sucked into a post-apocalypse water world where the current civilization lives primarily on the backs of extra giant leviathans. There are two primary armada forces: Paladin (sorta-order orientated) and Corsairs (sorta-chaos orientated) who control the seas and you are now part of the pirate world under the flag of one or the other alliance.

It's quest focused for things to do month to month and very CR driven. It's relatively new - opened in September I think? I joined in the November app round. The Test Drives are the event logs for the month they're posted in and are game canon for those that are in-game, so they're going to be active by default.

CR-wise, I've had no issues getting involved and getting really good CR going despite being from a relatively unknown canon.
catsgothistongue: (Casual)

[personal profile] catsgothistongue 2023-12-14 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
"Water world", "Chaos oreintated".

Definitely sounds like the perfect place for me to throw this pigtailed jerk into. What's the situation on powers and nerfing? Also I saw briefly skimming through it that it's an invite-only game? Also another thing, since it's a log-based game(?), how do logs work? Sorry for the multiple questions, I'm still new to DW RPing and have mostly been sticking to memes so I've never really tried to join a game yet outside of a few TDMs.

[personal profile] yuezun 2023-12-14 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
All powers are nerfed on entry, but are really easy to unlock by getting an IC tattoo. Based on my understanding - you would have to talk with the mods to confirm - the pigtailed jerk would not be subject to his/her curse until after receiving the tattoo and only if you want it to be active. Powers of the sort Ranma and Launch have probably wouldn't need much nerfing once the tattoo is had, but excessively powerful people do have to have their powers brought to a more game-friendly level.

It is invite-only, but if you decide you want to app, you can either request an invite from the mods or see if one of the players will provide one for you if you know someone in game and they have an open invite.

Log based means you post to the Game Communities rather than making posts in your own journal.

Games back in the LJ days used to be based around adding all the character journals as friends and watching your own friends feeds for updates on their individual journals. You basically had to have a separate journal per character per game.

After the move to DW a lot of games switched to being Comm (or Logs) based. There's usually two to three Comms in a game - The Logs (where the heavy rp happens), The Network (where the phone/internet proxy type stuff happens), an OOC Comm (for mod posts and info), and sometimes a Meme Comm (for non-canon silly stuff).
catsgothistongue: (A little peeved)

[personal profile] catsgothistongue 2023-12-14 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
I see, I see. If it's too my understanding, getting an IC tattoo is one of the first things the characters do, right? And gotcha, I'll be sure to ask about it.

Aight.

I see, thanks. I'm still a novice when it comes to DW RPs, hence why I've been sticking to mostly just memes, and I get a bit nervous when trying to app to games. But this one seems pretty fun, I'll probably throw a starter for Ranma on the TDM in a bit.

ROTTMNT wanted at FOLKMORE!

[personal profile] semilethal 2023-12-14 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
[game]: Folkmore | [community profile] folkmore | Main Navigation
[fandom]: Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
[game's current cast]: Casey Jones (Jr.), Donatello Hamato, Leonardo Hamato, Raphael Hamato
[who I play]: Donatello Hamato | [personal profile] semilethal
[wanted]: We would love ANY addition! A small baby brother to round out the quartet; a big human sister to get them out of (and into) trouble, a dad (take your pick), a villain- Any new blood will be dogpiled affectionately and adopted immediately by existing CR. And a fresh TDM just posted!

[game info]: The premise of Folkmore is a (very large) jamjar panfandom game in which characters are spiritually abducted (or rescued?) by a fox goddess who wants to help people reach their full potential. Characters are whisked off into a world of magic and wonder, beautiful and varied landscapes, schools and festivals aplenty. Events, the fox's “Trials,” and bi-monthly Test Drives (which can also serve as in-canon interactions) offer plenty of prompts to work off of, and the customization of your character's Role is as versatile as you choose to make it!

The applications offer an easy choice between a written personality and answering a handful of questions, either in-character or out-of-character. Applicants can use TDM links as samples or, if so inclined, previous game threads and even PSLs. While the game is invite-only, existing players each are permitted one invite per app cycle, with the opportunity to purchase more with ICly-earned Spoons. Potential castmates would fall over themselves to throw their invites to you!

Which brings us to the AC and Spoons system. The Activity Check is monthly but is check-in only. Players offer up a summary of their character's activity for the month, rather than providing links to threads, posts, or logs as proof. No comment counting if the player doesn't want to, but the more active one is, the more rewards (both OOCly and ICly) that one may receive! Each comment from a character gives that character one Spoon, which serves as both IC and OOC currency. Players can spend spoons on anything from items from home, to extra invites, even on Bonds that offer special IC benefits or new additional powers for your character. Really, seriously, the customization available for play style here is wild.

I personally love playing here because filling out AC always felt like a chore, and my life didn't always allow me to tag quickly or start new threads or logs each month. The game is by no means slow, but it's very friendly to players with all sorts of tagging speeds.

Please feel free to go through our journals and inboxes! The comms are locked, but we'd be happy to share what's been going on for anyone interested. If anyone on the fence needs resources like icons, a link to discreetly refresh canon, anything like that, we got the hookups. Hit us up on our journals, DM us, plurk us! WE LOVE YOU!

If you, yes YOU, player want to join with a Rise character no matter who they may be, if you are hesitating because you have no icons, worry not. I will make you icons SO fast. Afraid you won't be caught up on whatever's going on with CR? Don't fret, we can catch you up in a single conversation.

Honestly playing in Folk is a lot of fun because there are prompts for events but it's also just as free to make your own fun using the prompts as a jumping off point. So you don't feel railroaded at all but you're not left in the wind either. It's been great since I joined, and this cast is PHENOMENAL. Egg up there is one of the best Donnies I've played with for years now, Dani's Raph is the perfect balance of hilarious and break-your-heart, and our Casey Jr. has the most beautiful knack for taking the snippets we were given of him and expanding on that in a great way. They're also all down to clown for anything. Feel free to hit any of us up for questions if you got 'em or our tdm and we will lovingly dogpile with affection. 💖💖

OFFERING:
☆ Simon Keyes | Ace Attorney Investigations 2

PREFERENCES:
☆ I'm not 100% sure that I'll be bringing him anywhere yet, but I thought I'd post him here just in case anyone has any suggestions or would be interested in seeing him! I'm open to all genres of games except sex games, though sex-friendly games are cool. No memloss, but both horror and SOL would be fine.

☆ Ideally, manageable/average or lower AC.

☆ I'd definitely be willing to play him in a game without castmates, but if I'm honest, I'm especially looking for castmates for him if possible! In particular, I'd join pretty much any game with an Edgeworth, but anyone from Ace Attorney would be exciting. It's not a necessity by any means, though!
