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.

ugh i feel that... watching an lp of rebirth is on my to-do list, between actually finishing crisis core and revisiting advent children era. and, y'know, drowning in work.

but yes! if i see you around i'll definitely hit you up again

tbh i haven't really had much of a chance to thread ichika off of canonmates in general, so i'm pretty open to anything! whether they're tackling a new case together, trying to successfully communicate without relying on mediation from yoshinari/yanagi, dealing with one of them getting injured on the job (again), or actually having a date go off without a hitch...

SCUM VILLAIN'S SELF-SAVING SYSTEM @ PLUVIOSA

[personal profile] airplaneskyward 2024-04-20 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
[game]: Pluviosa | setting/session 0
[fandom]: Scum Villain's Self-Saving System
[game's current cast]: Shang Qinghua
[who I play]: Shang Qinghua
[wanted]: Anyone! Though, uh, Mobei-Jun would be a bit fraught, because SQH has found a boyfriend who is not his king. Shan Yuan, Shen Qingqiu, Shen Jiu, or Liu Qingge would all be hilarious, though. Or like. Sha Hualing. That would be a disaster. A delightful one.
[game info]:

Gonna copy off "John Doe" here (<3), but before that: Do you want to punch a plant? Do you want a plant to punch you? Do you want to have extremely large earthworms try to climb up your legs? Do you want to eat chili made with ground beef that is somehow grown in some kind of tomato? Do you want to argue with a centuries-old AI that you can't tell if it doesn't understand you or if being obstructive on purpose? Do you want to be like, super fucking haunted? Do you want to join a fight club on the upper deck? Come to the normal boat, where we have completely normal boat things, like spatial compression that causes migraines, Magical Mystery Language insinuated into your head for reasons the boat claims to be unaware of, fish of unclear provenance, and bog bodies!

More formal ad I copied from John follows:

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!

  • SEEKING
  • aventurine: ratio, sunday, cross-canon. big fan of cross-overs with genshin but any kind of cross-canon is great by me! 2.1 was lovely and aventurine is everything i've been hoping for since like 1.1!!! i am eager to jump into anything and everything with him
  • sunday*: tentative and until i figure out how i wanna play him i'm only open to ratio or gallagher (because 2.1 got me right in the ???!). while my heart is willing to go the distance and fling myself wildly into the abyss, my head says "nah wait for 2.2"
  • blade: jing yuan or cross-canon, i'm open to more but my blade wants are pretty simple ngl

  • PREFERENCES
  • m/m pref, shipping preferred over gen, smut absolutely on the table but ftb also an option if preferred. open to most kinks and i can put together a kink list on request
  • long-term psls adored but if anyone wants to test with memes first, i'm in
  • come at me with all you toxic problematic ships pls
  • happy to sit and plot ideas or to jump right into threads
  • i enjoy all kinds of plots: canon-based, canon-divergent, what-ifs, AUs, you name it! i'm drawn to very tropey things most of the time (red string of fate, arranged marriages, bodyguard/guarded, a/b/o, to name a few) and there are not many plots i will turn away from. i am very open to discussing whatever, and thematically enjoy horror, psychological, apocalypse settings, and dark themes but tbh i just like a lot period
  • i cannot promise when my tag schedule will become consistent because apparently my life is a circus. i beg for your patience and understanding in advance!
  • pm if interested!

    SINGILLATIM — Post-Apocalyptic Survival with Supernatural/Horror Themes

    [personal profile] singmod 2024-04-20 01:24 pm (UTC)(link)

    "You are the Interloper.
    You are not part of nature's design."

    Singillatim is a Post-Apocalyptic Survival game heavily inspired by Hinterland Studios' The Long Dark, set on an alternate earth on remote island territory cut off from the mainland and rest of the world, in the vague, furthest reaches of Northern Canada. Gameplay focuses on character development and character stories, with survival / post-apocalyptic themes, and some supernatural / folk horror thrown in for good measure. Characters are de-powered, with chances to gain powers within the game setting. There is no network.

    Characters find themselves transported from their home worlds and stranded in a wild, empty world of eternal winter thanks to strange geological/geomagnetic shifts which has effected nature and man alike. There's no escape. Only the Auroras can signal the comings and goings of this place, and they may be both a blessing and a curse to you. Create groups for survival, scavenge for supplies, learn the harsh ways of mother nature (now warped by the Aurora's power) and survive.

    Test Drive Meme is currently open.
    Reserves are currently open.
    Applications open April 25th.

    Tell me about your idea relating to Angel and freed contract.

    Again, apologies. Work is always taking me away once I start feeling settled.

    [personal profile] druggish 2024-04-20 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
    No apologies necessary.

    And sure! So I had the idea of Angel having convinced a few fans/customers of his to sell their souls to him (in exchange for his body/affection, doubtlessly), in desperation to gain power in order to break free of Valentino. With a few souls contracted to him, Angel ascends to the status of Overlord, and some way or another, breaks his contract with Valentino (either by buying it from him, having him killed, or some other method, it's still vague for now). Once freed, Angel does not want to go back into sex work: instead, feeling no other option, he returns to his family roots as a mafioso: he runs a drug production and selling ring, with his contracted souls working for him to start with. Angel still has his promiscuous reputation, but he slowly gains another reputation for being a drug lord; but when people meet with him in person, they assume he must be the drug lord's messenger or lover, underestimating him. Angel uses being underestimated to his advantage. That was the idea, at least!

    while everyone else is busy luring you in with promises of Star Wars.. I'm FAIRLY sure (but don't quote me on it..) that multiple iterations of the same character are allowed, and you'd definitely have castmates for Sephiroth. :|a

    It's such a good thread already, I love them so. Ahh thank you so much! I love both your Steve and Robin, truly the best of soulmates.

    Beautiful. I'll throw a starter up for Eddie & Steve in my musebox and link it to you when it's up. If you see any memes for Robin & Eddie, one of us can toss a top level and/or a starter up!

    Truly. I just love them both so much.

    okay! That sounds perfect!! Feel free to message me anytime too. If I miss anything or with links or whatever. I’m literally down for threads any and all times.

    As far as I'm concerned if I didn't want him to suffer I'd have apped into a different cast.

    Offering:

    The Riddler (The Batman 2004 cartoon, not the movie The Batman)

    Preferences:

    Medium-paced

    Would prefer tech to be available to characters; this Riddler is a techie

    No body horror/forced transformations

    No memory loss/preferably no required AU-ing to fit into a verse

    No sex-based games

    Castmates would be absolutely LOVED. But since that’s unlikely, I am totally up for playing with Batman characters from other verses! Even other Riddlers, lol. Bring on the chaos!

    PSLs are also welcomed. For a PSL, I can either pull him from after Riddler’s Revenge or from further along in my fanfic verse where he semi-reforms as a private investigator like in the comics. (It’s permanent here, though. No returning back to status quo!) He'll always be a character, though, even if he's technically trying to go straight.

    Well, lets see how things go with Anakin. But I am definitely not against also bringing Sephiroth there.
