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.

I mean surely Alastor can do better than the future raging embarrassment of "The Vees"--

I can whip something up to start!! Possibly tomorrow as it's getting late, I will link it when it's up!

Yeah it's sort of shit, isn't it.

And no worries! I'll be around whenever you get it up! (That's what she said.)

Down for more stuff sometime (Shinji, OG Haru, Murderharu, assorted others...).

[personal profile] charmingdingus 2024-04-16 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
I know we have a million right now, but I am also down for anything! I already tag my Robin with your Steve, but I will throw her at Eddie as well. I love the Robin/Eddie friendship, so I'm super down for that.

I'd love to do something Upside Down related, truthfully I haven't done many threads that way yet. Either the both of them or Eddie communicating from the beyond sound great.

Supernatural

[personal profile] familysucks 2024-04-16 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
Offering
— Michael | Supernatural (any canon point, any vessel)

Seeking
— Canonmates, especially of the vessel or celestial variety: Chuck, Amara, Lucifer, Raphael, Gabriel, Apocalypse World Michael, Adam Milligan, so on and so forth. Exactly what I can offer depends on who you're bringing, but anything canon divergence AU-flavoured tends to be to my tastes.
— For shipping specifically, I'm seeking a Lucifer. I'm particularly craving Endverse AUs, power loss scenarios, post-canon fix-its, and time travel shenanigans, but if none of those speak to you I'm game to brainstorm something that pleases us both.
— Also interested in playing the strictly platonic version of the above and working on mending their relationship, particularly if bringing them to a game is on the table.

Other
— Prose preferred, but action/brackets are fine too. I'll match style.
— Open to both long term PSLs or one-off meme threads.
— Backtag and slow tag friendly.
— Journal PM or comment here if interested, plurk or Discord available for longer-term plotting.

[personal profile] sanji 2024-04-16 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
oh yes!! all of the post-wci hell is my bread and butter, especially as sanji tries to get back into the routine of things after embarrassingly running off on his own, appreciating the way luffy had seemed to read through him and how much he'd want to make it up to nami for upsetting her. and i love his relationship with robin, so i'd be more than happy to do things with her too!
busters: (𝟬𝟲𝟲)

[personal profile] busters 2024-04-16 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
hello!! there is definitely a whole world of possibility with combining any of those that it's hard to even narrow it down, i'd honestly love to mash up any of them. i'm an absolute sucker for clerith any day of the week, for sure, and i think it'd be super neat for cid and jessie to meet, but i'd take any of those for sure.

Re: dice roll/difficulty check mechanics

(Anonymous) 2024-04-16 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
I played in a game like this once and it was amazing. Dice rolls are super fun to incorporate into rp I think if it’s used judiciously. like not for major plot outcomes and such imo but just for fun little flavor bits.

if you don't mind me being super new to him, i've got this guy reporting for duty! i'm big on angst, drama, all that. the poison remix that came out on angel's birthday has me wanting valangel so bad, maybe in your post-s1 idea val sees angel's at a weak point and wants to get his claws back in him?

[personal profile] appeale 2024-04-16 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
can I ask what kinds of things they were used for that you found fun? I definitely agree that major plot outcomes should be a result of player effort, not RNG, but I'm interested in what other areas I might be able to implement them other than the idea I discussed above with personal character plots/missions.

[personal profile] druggish 2024-04-16 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
Hi there! No worries about being new. I like the idea of Val trying to get Angel to come back (through whatever means necessary), or Angel even defecting from the hotel on his own. I can throw Angel into a few Bakerstreet memes if you like, or I have a musebox.
bountyhead: (𝟏𝟑𝟎)

[personal profile] bountyhead 2024-04-16 04:23 am (UTC)(link)

one OC looking for her true love

[personal profile] aimlesswonder 2024-04-16 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
[character offered]: Guinevere 'Guin' Davies
[fandom]: Original character - bio HERE
[rp you're offering for / rp type you'd wanna play in]: 1:1 romance line where Guin reunites with her ex-husband and they live happily ever after
[preferences]: I'm looking for someone who can pick up Guin's ex-husband and ex-partner Brent Hamilton, for a storyline in which their paths cross again and they fall back in love (think every Hallmark movie ever made). Brent is a top Naval intelligence officer and charming all-American guy who swept Guin off her feet and even saved her life, but they grew apart under the pressures of the job. I want to see them come back together and do cute, fluffy couple things and make dumb jokes!

I have a PB and some basic backstory notes to help anyone who's interested. I also am open to exploring their married history for anyone who wants to play the action-oriented saving the world stuff.
helluvadick: (Default)

[personal profile] helluvadick 2024-04-16 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
Absolutely no worries! I'll backtag forever (especially because sometimes work can consume me whole and it might take a bit for me to reply back myself). And I'm super into it!!
yijian: (008.)

[personal profile] yijian 2024-04-16 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
[character offered]: Charles Sun
[fandom]: The Brothers Sun
[preferences]:
- DW only
- slow to medium pace, backtag-friendly
- horror, survival, sci-fi, fantasy, exploration, mystery genres
- lots of crosscanon and OC interaction would be A+
- no smut games, but sex-friendly games are OK
- not into memloss or having to create full AUs to play

I'm also open to PSLs and fucking about on memes! I do work full-time and am in a wonky timezone, though, so chances are I won't be able to boomerang very often.

Oh no! Going from that canonpoint right into such a situation... Sounds like Erich has been having a rough time of it!! What a neat sounding premise, though. A lot for them to learn and get used to... I'll check it out and see about throwing something up on the TDM later tonight or tomorrow!

(p.s. I love this icon of Erich with glasses??? Look at him!! you are so wise to use fanart rather than screenshots)

[personal profile] elegiaque 2024-04-16 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
"lots of OC interaction", you say! [community profile] faderift is a chill paced high fantasy, plot heavy game that's based in the Dragon Age universe, though we're coming up on nine years so we have diverged from the canon as played. it's very OC heavy and AUing is optional - canon characters can either be redesigned as natives of the setting, or arrive through rifts in the fade, and the latter means you don't need to start from a point of canon familiarity because Neither Will Your Dude.

there's a lot of player plots, missions, overarching mod plot with elements of pretty much everything you mentioned except scifi. (and not none. the renfaires are building a flying boat! tony stark ran their research division for a while!)

our tdm is over here and top levels are tracked by most players so we just gently put our hands over the timestamp of when it was originally posted. cheers!

Thank you so much!! I'll check it out during the week. <3 The vices and virtues idea sounds interesting, especially for my Durge.
