April 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.

offering
-- Aerich/Duke Temma of Arylle | Dragaera books by Steven Brust ([personal profile] lyorning
-- Simon Lorden (nee Torquill) | October Daye books by Seanan McGuire ([personal profile] thesunreturns
-- A number of D&D/tabletop characters
-- Potentially others (Full Muselist)

seeking (general)
-- A game pace that is fine with once a day posts. (I try to do more, if possible.)
-- Backtag friendly.
-- AC that fits with the above two (say, no more than 15 comments per month).
-- A game friendly with Lone Canon Warriors or OCs (I won't say no to a cast, but...)
-- Bonus: a game whose mission/event formats encourage interactions with new CR.
-- No mandatory smut; sex friendly is fine (but neither of the two characters I specifically call out are likely to participate).
-- Not a fan of total AU, but I'm game for 'you start as a resident of the setting, but start recovering memories from your canon life' or amnesia mechanics.
-- For Aerich, I want to play with the fact that he's an honor-bound traditionalist, so a game premise/setting that causes culture clash or messes with his head is a plus.
-- For Simon, something quieter is appreciated (guy has enough trauma from canon).
-- Also for Simon, characters who are also drawing from legends of the fae (or fairy tales) may be amusing.
-- For some of the tabletop characters, games that allow characters to be from published RPG settings, or characters who also fit that 'D&D fantasy vibe'.
-- For characters in general, I love weird 'our canons approach magic/demons/gods/fae/etc. very differently' interactions.

HI so admittedly this journal is super new and I'm lowkey waiting for next patch so I can dig my teeth into her storyline/character more since she's been so sparse with appearances, but I would love to thread some sibling stuff if you're okay with me kinda going off those smaller details HYV has given us in-game and ~vibes~.

Hey there!

I'm afraid I'm canonblind to Kingdom Hearts for the most part, but I am always down for cross-canon stuff, and Charlie is indeed Hell's version of a Disney princess. Did you have any specific scenarios you were interested in?
thelittleapple: (Default)

[personal profile] thelittleapple 2024-04-15 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Everything and then some~

I am absolutely down for gen stuff with both Charlie and Alastor, and am happy with everything from fluff to drama and back. Did you have a specific something you'd like to do, or shall we spitball? I have a plurk or discord (or DMs) if you'd like for plotting.

𝔭𝔯𝔢𝔣𝔢𝔯𝔢𝔫𝔠𝔢𝔰.
⬖ psls/memes only.
⬖ feeling something more plot heavy, honestly. let's figure something out. smut is wonderful and all that but it's not really why i'm here. still, if you've got an idea, i'm listening.
⬖ f/f pref overall, but for kotone, ashley and kafka i'm open to f/m, depending. gen with male characters is also just fine, and as for crosscanon and oc guys? idk, let's talk about it! castmates, crosscanon, crossovers, canon compliance, aus, ocs? let's go.
𝔰𝔢𝔢𝔨𝔦𝔫𝔤.

⬖ for kotone: kotone/girls frankly, along with shinjiro, joker, akechi and ryuji. aigis, saori, yukari, mitsuru, fuuka and more are all totally beloved options, same goes for a lot of the p2, p4 and p5 girls. she goes well with a lot of characters. almost like she just gives people what they want to see or something
⬖ kafka: kafka/trailblazer, kafka/wolf, kafblade, kafka/himeko. also crime
⬖ stelle: stelle/girls, but much love to stellefly, starch and kafstel in particular. really, she's easy to throw into all kinds of situations.
⬖ nami: nami/girls. nami/vivi, nami/robin, etc. and you know, general heist/adventure/CRIME stuff. i'm up for a lot, i really want to play her more jlkflasdjkfg
⬖ sadako: shipping is going to be harder, but not impossible. more interested in playing with horror and show business-related themes to get more of a feel for writing her. check the info post.
⬖ elster: unless you've got a good pitch, probably in the same boat as sadako. horror themes all the way down more than likely. her opt-out/permissions gives a decent idea of what you're probably in for.
⬖ ashley: she is a pile of content warnings in human form. here's her opt-out/permissions post and i implore you to check it before reaching out about her. if you're still interested, though, hit me up.
𝔫𝔬𝔱𝔢𝔰.
⬖ up to date on the current hsr patch, basically current on one piece.
⬖ i am one of the most easily distracted bitches you'll ever meet, so—backtags are more than fine.
⬖ i default to brackets and present-tense because i like the flexibility and the immediacy it conveys, but i'll match whatever.
⬖ contact here or via PMs. i'm happy to give my discord if we decide to plot.

Yaas I am here for all the things! Hawke is so fun to play; trouble just follows him like a happy puppy, bless. (If you ever have an itch to play Anders again, lemme know haha!)

And I’m definitely down for hashing out the brainworms; I have discord if that’s easier or pms are aces too!

Judging from the ideas you've shared, I think you've got good ideas here. I'm a longtime Fallen London fan myself (and so are some buds of mine) so there's definite interest!

I definitely like your idea of having players allocate points into the trait/skill categories at the start so characters can stay within their canon parameters. Personally, I like simple RNG elements (I think they're useful for keeping characters fallible) but echoing the sentiment that they're best when used as a creative aid rather than a potential roadblock. I also like the idea of having broad definitions of success and failure. DWRP's used to needing to pick options under an umbrella so I think that can cross over pretty well, just framing things as something already familiar to them.

My main suggestion would be to keep things as simple and intuitive as possible. I also think there should be stat caps in the interest of fair experience in game for everyone. That way characters who are powerful/specialized or weak/unskilled in canon have an equal shot at integrating and developing in the setting without shoving one or another out ot involvement.

Anyway, that's my two cents and I'm excited to hear about this being in the works! Fallen London is such a fun setting and offers so many cool opportunities as a game!

Grips your shoulder... how did you know I am so intrigued by Vox and Angel and their crunchy potential. I like it, I like it, what kind of ugly weirdness are you feeling the most?? There's plenty of excuses for them to be stuck together for a Company Function or some such, Val isn't around so Vox has to manage Angel at work, etc...

Local TV man is going to make it so weird. Did you have any scenarios in mind! There's always the potential of their mysterious shared backstory, or something that forces them to work together like a bad extermination day, or some "nobody gets to hurt you but me" antics...
gotinmyway: courtesy of @rosebursts (pic#17125913)

[personal profile] gotinmyway 2024-04-15 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I’ve really been wanting to explore their backstory, personally! Though having to work together for an extermination also sounds fun. I’m not too picky, but the first one might be better to start out with, just for the potential build up.

a fallen london game sounds DELIGHTFUL to me!! would you be following the general timeline laid out by failbetter games and include content from sunless sea/sunless skies? any chance of having the different factions in-game be factions player characters could affiliate themselves with? (e.g., the masters of the bazaar, queen victoria and/or the ominous princesses, the revolutionaries, etc.)
