March 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 love multiverse things, too, and I just think there's a lot of really interesting potential between Seph and Tifa, whether it's sane Seph popping in from a parallel universe or even enemies to lovers scenarios. She admired him once, after all.
no subject
Honestly, same! Admittedly, I'm sometimes on the fence with shipping them, because I've had some Unfortunate Experiences in the past. A shame, because I - too - think their personalities could really compliment each other (and also make for engaging conflict in terms of enemies to lovers). All this to say, I'd be more than happy to play around with their dynamics with you. Do you maybe have a preference where or what you'd like to start with?
no subject
I also definitely understand how RP can sour ships, so no pressure on that front. They could always go from enemies to begrudging allies (with the grudge being mainly on Tifa's part because we know, realistically, that Sephiroth is OP enough to be calling the shots in most cases), then see how things develop from there. :)
I'm also fine with meme or PSL situations. I tend to go with the flow of whatever is easiest for my writing partner.
no subject
Honestly, I don't mind going down the ship route! I just didn't want you to think it was anything against you if I fumbled the ball a little bit. I don't get a chance to RP with Tifas very often, especially not ones that like to ship, and I'd honestly be really jazzed to play around with it. ♡ Who am I to turn down some good enemies-to-lovers, tbh.
Okay, sounds good! Do you think you'd maybe like to go the route of them uniting against a common threat? Orrr, since we're bonding over AC a little bit here-- I see a lot of post-Advent Children stuff go with the route of Sephiroth semi-turning over a new leaf? Or I'm even down for doing a little bit of a "what if Sephiroth is after Tifa instead of Cloud" AU. Do any of these interest you?
no subject
All of those ideas could be really interesting. What if Sephiroth was after Tifa instead? Oh man. I mean, she did come after him with his own sword--that's pretty audacious. Then she had the audacity to survive when he very nearly killed her. We could even find a way to incorporate a little of all of that, perhaps--he's had his fun with Cloud but Tifa sure is interesting, and there's some new kind of danger that could motivate them to work together while he dabbles with redeeming himself. Maybe Hojo is brewing up some new monstrosities and the poor planet is like "not this shit again."
no subject
God, I genuinely love all of this. Tifa is like, one constant that's frequently foiled his plans, too. Not just through her willingness to fight 'til the bitter end, but through her determination to lift up the people around her, too. I absolutely love the idea of Sephiroth slowly clocking that Tifa's been a huge force to be reckoned with this whole time, and his fascination shifting from Cloud to her. Also, my god, if there's a character everyone can bond over hating, it's Hojo. That's perfect! Maybe he ends up concocting some horrible thing that messes with the flow of the Lifestream, and Sephiroth ends up kind of ejected out of it. But... maybe with the caveat that he re-emerges with some of his old memories in tact, and it kind of creates this conflict between who he is and who he used to be. And then we can get him dabbling with redemption in an interesting and believable way?
(steepled fingers) I'm so invested already.

Sounds like a grand ol' time.
If you use plurk and/or discord, you can reach me at mochihearts/mochi.hearts respectively. I'd love to plot more!
