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.

baldur's gate + horizon + crosscanon

[personal profile] harrowment 2024-04-16 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
hello i have shadowheart from baldur's gate and aloy from horizon ([personal profile] datapoint). my interests are in character growth with an action/exploration backdrop. generally i will fuck around on memes but i am itching for a deeper, longterm psl. a campaign, if you will.

i love castmates but i am also enthusiastically open to crosscanon, especially if it involves AUing into each other's canon or a mixing lore! i'm good with gen or slowburn shipping. my tag speed varies from boomeranging to ghosting for a week so flexible tagging speed is a must lmao.

I do thoroughly enjoy our tags and always welcome more! I'm definitely a big fan of Robin with both Steve and Eddie - and I tend to play Eddie as gay so they'd have solidarity there.

ALL this sounds so good to me. Stuff like Steve & Eddie getting stuck in the upside down together, or a fix-it where Eddie survived and tries to communicate to Steve that he's stuck in there is always a favorite. Or something more fluffy/slow burn with road trip vibes~

yeah, I 100% agree that as a player, I like RNG elements because it gives me a little direction and mixes things up. it gives me more ideas to chew on for my own threads rather than just "idk my character goes there and does the thing I guess" especially for situations like combat, investigations, exploration, etc. so my intention would always be to use it that way rather than becoming a gatekeeping DM who's like. oops you failed the roll, you get nothing, too bad!

I would aaabsolutely have stat caps, you're right. because the Neath is so fucked, I feel I have a lot of room to implement not just power nerfs but even some restrictions on natural talent - maybe your super strong martial artist character just isn't as strong as he used to be now that he lives in a dark cave and has died at least once and he's cut off from the Sun (and i.e. basically the laws of his own universe, by Neath logic) so his strength stat is still high! it's just not, you know, 10/10 anymore.

my thoughts were everyone gets maybe 10 stat points to assign at the beginning of the game, and players also have the choice to hold onto some of those points and use them later as their character develops, which I think works well for characters who really don't have any special skills yet and could learn new ones. additional stat points could be available as like, event rewards or AC bonuses, with an overall cap if necessary to make sure nobody is crazy OP just because they've been around longer.

Malevolent @ Pluviosa

[personal profile] aureatefantasia 2024-04-16 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
[game]: Pluviosa | setting/session 0
[fandom]: Malevolent
[game's current cast]: John
[who I play]: ...John! (part 28)
[wanted]: Arthur in particular, being upfront especially given John's canon point until I can update him, but I would love anyone because malev good
[game info]: A once-grand ship runs across an endless desert, bearing within it precious, dangerous cargo: all the life in the world, and all the souls of its dead.

Pluviosa is a horror game set on a long-abandoned cruise ship - although it's not exactly accurate to call it abandoned when it's full Life After Humans going on inside. Subthemes include body horror/corruption, psychological horror, mystery, exploration, in-universe unreality, and atmospheric horror; the tone is Nausicaa aesthetic meets Jurassic Park with a little bit of Locked Tomb for spice. Characters wake up on a strange ship full of unnaturally vibrant vegetation, decrepit mechanisms, and ghosts, and must assemble information to eventually solve the mysteries behind the ship and put these ghosts to rest if they are to have any hope of returning home.

Currently, apps are perma-open! Until we hit cap (40). Additionally, Activity Check is suspended but it's a typical 10+ comments whenever that changes; we do have Discord integration (text) which counts for AC, as well. Events are variable length, every month or so. Player plots and setting exploration are encouraged!

given ruby's cycle of suffering it would be fun (for me, not for her, rip girl) to do an isekai where the character she transmigrates into is yet another eerie mirror of the same miserable life she's always lived, so she's unintentionally on the right track but there are just liiiittle tiny differences that start to slip through and saeki starts to catch... maybe the kind of otome game isekai where she's fully substituted in for the protagonist as if she was always part of it, rather than entering the body of an existing game character.

altho i can't imagine any version of ruby becoming a cop HGLDKFHG my beautiful shameless cowardly wife. maybe an investigative journalist or a forensics specialist, to give a reason for her to be in orbit of saeki and the plot.....

Offering:
• Yato | Noragami (manga)

Seeking:

- Canonmates! Would desperately love Yukine, naturally, but any and all would be welcome!
- Other gods/supernatural forces, be it friendly or hostile
- General Ideas: Cute domestic things, found/made families, friends with benefits, moral conflicts, murder buddies, romantic complications/conflicts, silly shenanigans, slice of life, text threads

Preferences:

- Memes or PSLs (or castmates at Songerein!)
- Gen or shipping is fine. Playful flirting and slow burn romance are great, smut depends at the moment, though I'm fine with FTB.
- My tagging speed and time varies, but leans towards CST evenings/night.
- I have a friend who plays Hiyori, for any castmates interested in doing a group PSL!

rubs my wee hands together, I too love the backstory potential. How do you feel about some established light partnering era stuff that Vox can Make Weird with his Silly Assumptions... over and over and over--

MAN I somehow don't have a remedyverse character in my collection yet but if I did. IF I DID. Also handshake on wanting Deadly Premonition crossovers.

Mostly I'm just here to tell you I love your Jesse journal name, it's perfect.

...realizing what journal I'm logged into, as one weird supernatural organization Director to another, I suppose.

Yes! I kind of assume that they were friends and maybe Alastor even took him under his wing a bit when Vox first arrived. So that would work out nicely, I think.

inhales this list HMM let's see--

I think Vox's control freak lifestyle definitely lends itself to the occasional-supervisor framing that some of these ideas can be mashed into, like-

>technologically harassing Angel for x amount of time because he's petty and jealous, spying definitely assumed
>starts Showing Up Unannounced to shoots
>finds some way to wriggle himself in as full supervisor for a shoot and oopsie it looks like Val is running late, How Strange!

I avoid threading out full on noncon in my rp (though implied is alright) but some dubious quid pro quo/"why don't you show me why Val hasn't put a bullet in your brain yet"-type action seems like it could fit with this. Also while I'm spitballing here, Vox may be a bitter and jealous harpy but he's also a professional PR slimeball so maybe also an additional element of trying to sabotage with like, holding himself up as the lesser evil here, Angel, c'mon Angel. You Can Trust Him, Angel.....quit your job...

clenches fist. I love the apprentice-y Vox headcanon, yes, golden. CRT TV head era... my favorite...

Spitballing a starting point, maybe something like Vox fumbles one of Alastor's plans because he oversteps/thinks Alastor wanted him to help But He Didn't, an Overlord got away and now Vox is in the doghouse about it?

Or for something that doesn't immediately start with an Argument, something like a chill night at the Jazz Bar and for some reason Vox keeps bringing up his silly ideas about having a cool duo name...

omg Vox you are so hopeless

I am laughing at the second option already. Seeing as how they're both control freaks, Alastor wouldn't be satisfied unless it was appropriately punny and probably way too corny for Vox's taste. Let's do it!
druggish: (there's no telling my limits.)

[personal profile] druggish 2024-04-16 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
Non-con being off the table is completely fine with me, I'm glad to meet you at wherever your comfort level is. Dubcon sex is good too (or do you not write out any smut, period? Just let me know!). Especially if Angel is showing his special talents to Vox, for....Reasons.

I definitely feel like we're on the same wavelength (I'll never stop the puns), and I like your additions! Spying/technological harassing, just randomly dropping by shoots (never a closed set with Valentino around) and Angel is like "??? why are you here", Valentino Conveniently Not Being Around are all things I can jive and vibe with! Vox trying to sabotage Valentino and steal Angel's popularity/fame for his TV stations didn't cross my mind before, but I like it now! Angel being tempted to actually quit, if he doesn't have to be a porn star anymore And Can Be A (Respected) Actor...but also Valentino Will Literally Kill Him, He Can't. (Unless.........Vox buys out Angel's contract (for his soul) from Valentino even.)

Which is all to say, this sounds great! I love your ideas! Are you comfortable with Bakerstreet or prefer a musebox? I have one, if you'd like.
