enablemeplz | 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.

➤ 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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Offering:

- Tav / Nepione (this journal right here)
- Minthara Baenre (menzoberranzan)

Seeking:

For Nepione (Click to Expand)

- Really, any and all canon mates, be they Tavs, Dark Urges, companions, origins, NPCs, and more. Especially other tieflings. I'm also very open to cross-canon.

- Although her original flavour is very much the good Selûnite cleric who is legitimately trying to do her best and struggling with the concept of leadership, I've toyed a lot with taking her from different pathways such as redemption Dark Urge, an irredeemable Dark Urge, or just simply herself given over to corruption as a result of the world's affairs (sort of a this is what she could become if her faith shattered and she became resigned as opposed to woefully optimistic).

- I really like the meat and potatoes and I've frequently played Nepione in a way where she spends a lot of time focusing on other people and going out of her way to not focus on herself or share much about herself, so I'd be very interested to do something long and drawn out where she does actually start sharing more about herself as a person. She has a lot of insecurities and fears about being put in a position where others would listen to her and feels like she can't share those, feels that her only real option is to come across as unbending and resolute. A lot of the times her inward feelings don't reflect her outward ones. So having a storyline where characters can, over time, open up about themselves would be deeply satisfying.

- I would love to do some post-game stuff. Notably we just got epilogue after party scenes, but I'm blind to most of these still. I'm a sucker for reunions and what life could be like with no tadpoles in one's head, or facing repercussions for actions that took place during the course of story, but for one reason or another, weren't addressed during the story properly (because more important things were at hand).

- Shipping, smut, and related stuff is fine, but doesn't tend to be an end-game goal with me. I will say that any kind of romance with Nepione comes with some complications because of how much she's tried to keep others at a distance and how she views herself (physically, emotionally, mentally). I really love build up and tension, however, and I enjoy playing her trying to detach herself a bit more from her emotional connections with others, so these are all things that can come up in exploring this kind of pathway.

- Because she's so not good with her incantations and invocations, it'd be a lot of fun to further explore that. (Situations going wrong or awry because she can't complete a concentration spell appropriately.) Tutelage on how she can improve these things would also be enjoyable. I mostly just enjoy the thought of her trying to do her best and in the process of it, kind of just making things worse and everyone around her (in addition to her) having to work through those things as a result.

For Minthara (Click to Expand)

- Minthara is still very new for me. I'm voice testing incredibly hard, so please bear with me whilst I work through that. Basically, I will embrace everything that comes her way. General same story though, happy to play with all Tavs, Durges, other companions, origins, NPCs, and cross-canon.

- She used to require some pretty polarising options to be made for her recruitment, however, with our most recent Patch 5, many of those choices are no longer required and I would be keen to explore either the original choices or doing something with the newer options we've been given. I like the idea of her failing the assault on the Grove only to reunite with everyone later on at Moonrise, having to answer for her actions and explain herself. Possibly paying consequences or spending [insert amount of time here] trying to 'redeem' herself for such things. (Although it should be noted that she wouldn't see much of a reason for redemption.) I love an 'I can fix her' mindset (whether she can be fixed or not).

- I can lean very heavily into the concept of playing her from a Dark Urge playthrough where she either encourages the Dark Urge to be more ruthless and to embrace those urges, or to, through the actions and influence of the Dark Urge resisting the urge, be swayed to be a marginally better person. I really value character growth and evolution over time, so the latter is something I could see being very enjoyable to dive into and explore.

- I continue to be tickled pink by the idea of interactions with Astarion, whether it's the two of them making one another worse, the two of them making one another better, could be some kind of very twisted romance / intimate thing going on, or even something very genuine as a result of their differing viewpoints, experiences, cultural habits, and so on. I understand that this (like the one below) has the potential to be both messed up and unhealthy.

- Because they're natural foils of one another in the game and we never get the chance to see them truly interact (except in his ultimatum now), I crave Halsin and Minthara contact. I will also admit rather easily that I'm into the whole 'hatemance' concept (or enemies to lovers trope). I can see many things being potential here given Halsin's history with the drow, to Minthara very much setting sights on his grove, the two of them butting heads. I'd love to do some forced cooperation with them (probably after combat), maybe leading to something more (be it incredibly unhealthy and for lack of a better phrasing—fucked up) or something that could potentially lead to something better.

- Would love to do more exploration, in general, of Minthara's character because of the layers of complexity that she holds. I would love more opportunities to explore her more vulnerable sides, since she is almost always wearing that proverbial armour on the outside.

- Some of my things here have already pointed to it, but I'm open to shipping / smut things with Minthara as well.

Other:

- PM me for contact. Questions, plans, anything like that. It's the best way to get a hold of me.
- I work from home and depending on my workload, I can boomerang pretty readily. (Also depends on the nature of what we're doing.)
- I match writing styles (past / present / bracket / prose). Not very well-versed in ecats stuff, though. (I can be verbose, though I'm trying to pare that down.)
- Located in the eastern timezone, but my sleeping habits are weird and very inconsistent, so sometimes I'll tag at 4 or 5 in the morning for me.
- I'm open to memes and PSLs.
- I could be persuaded into a game, too, if the stars just so happen to align.
- I do play other characters outside of the ones I'm offering here. I can offer my muselist to those who want it.
- I also like Fire Emblem, Final Fantasy, Hades, Game of Thrones, Drakengard, and so on. (I have played characters from each of these.)
