December EMP Meme
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!

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.

— nikolay komlev, the pilot : literally JUST made this journal and am still getting set up over here but! nikolay's a soviet fighter pilot in WWII whose life takes a sharp left when his plane goes down in the russian wilds in the dead of winter. he spends about two weeks fighting for survival at grave physical expense, hellbent on a) continuing to fight and b) getting back to the woman he's not-quite-dating in moscow. with the aid of a few sympathetic figures after his body gives out to sepsis and pneumonia, he survives, but both legs are amputated just under the shin as a lifesaving measure. he goes through a deep depression but hears about an english pilot who flies with prostheses, which is enough--ultimately his innate determination and love of being in the air wins out and he spends over a year working himself to the point of exhaustion, relearning how to walk, take stairs, etc. by the end of the film he's shown on his first flight, still a very talented pilot, and able to function well enough that he can shimmy down an icy plane wing with two prosthetic legs and use upper body strength alone to lift himself out of the cockpit; even though he hops down and immediately falls because he doesn't land quite right, he's able to pick himself up without assistance.
generally a good person, brave, someone whose sense of identity is deeply tied up in how useful and competent he sees himself as being. depending on canonpoint, he's dealing with some feelings of estrangement from his own body and may still be learning how to exist in day-to-day life; his perception of his own desirability is very warped until he marries. he loves to fly, to be in the air; being grounded in a game where that's not possible would be very aggravating for him, as would be abruptly returning to an actionless civilian life.
seeking
— games: obviously survival themes would be really fun with him, especially if it's more of a man vs wild setting as opposed to man vs enemy npcs. i'm also tentatively interested in smut games for nikolay—i think the character development angle of relearning that the body he constantly has to inhabit isn't just a source of horror/severe pain, and gradually coming around to the idea that physical changes don't mean that he's suddenly perceived as a sexless entity as he feels he is would be really fun to play around with, as would the arc of him sort of gradually easing back into his pre-hatchet scenario tendency to flirt. it would need to be a game where players are consistently good about reading kinklists and respecting 'no' as a full sentence because i'm uncomfortable with fetishization of amputation/prostheses.
— psls: contemporaries! things happening during WWII! meeting other soviets or russians from different time periods! i'm down for gen and i'd also love to write ship stuff with him, more likely to be m/f but potentially m/m of the 'oh no this is just comradely affection don't even worry about it. i love you' flavor.
prefs/details
— no sci-fi, no murdergames, no fantasy
— i am on EST and work full time + mod a game + rehab a horse 2x a day, so i'm more of a weekend tagger, but i love to boomerang when i do have time to tag.
— slowburn is a fave for shipping and honestly for all CR. give me that gradual development!! the arcs!!
— my preference is to plot over discord followed by PP; hit me up via PM and we can swap handles!

Zinda is originally from Blackhawk, a hugely popular comic that first kicked off in 1941, although she didn't appear until 1959. Later on, she showed up in modern DC comics through time-travel shenanigans. Basic backstory is that she was inspired by the exploits of the Blackhawks, a group of WWII resistance pilots unaffiliated with any official military. After learning how to fly and fight, she showed up at their secret base one day and insisted on joining up. At that point, the Blackhawk comics were less focused on the war and more on classic comic book stuff like fighting costumed supervillains, but I always love writing Zinda during the actual war.
Some info about her (and I'm always happy to talk more about Zinda!): she's super cheerful, very flirty, loves to drink, dance, and get into brawls. She wouldn't care about his prosthetic legs if they met after that canon point.
If any of this sounds interesting, lmk!
