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.

HELLO! If Disney/Hazbin isn't too big of a comfort leap, I'd love to talk about possible cross-canon fluff. Charlie and Rapunzel come to mind first but I'm open to other possibilities, or even other cross-canon (I have plenty of other muses, though sadly no Hazbin or Helluva yet).

lucky for sunday, aventurine is a quick learner and as adaptable as they come so i'm sure one or two tries would be all he needs. see how useful he is?? shouldn't have discarded him so early :/

ykw. that is actually incredibly sexy and it'd be an insane experiment to do 🤔 sunday being confident in the harmony granted by his god vs aventurine's worn out certainty that his cursed luck is unmatched. it's much like a battle of beliefs, made sexier when you remember ena, whose eye has a striking resemblance to aventurine's, was assimilated by xipe 😌

Re: dice roll/difficulty check mechanics

(Anonymous) 2024-04-15 07:11 am (UTC)(link)
I never really care for dice rolls determining if characters succeed at things or not, since that has the potential to force them to go OOC very quickly. The stat points could resolve some of those issues, though. That's an intriguing angle. I'm not sure how it would work on apps, though, since maybe some of the categories wouldn't be addressed in canon to know how to put them on an app. Unless the apps would allow a certain amount of headcanon?

honestly aventurine would have had some more uses if his sister didn't get MURDERED and now his attention is all there... no hard feelings yknow

holy shit tho, i went and read up their wiki article and i'm super intrigued with this concept even more... it's like an ancient feud...

it's ok no hard feelings. now they can bond over having dead sisters! ❤️

UGH THOUGH RIGHT?? there's a lot of people who like thinking that while the avgins didn't believe/follow the aeons, fenge biyos is just what the avgins call ena. once again made sexier when you think about how all of ena's civilizations came to ruin 😌 sunday and aventurine were fated to be situationship to hateship...

Your thoughts on Darejones? Because I love it and would love to find people to play with for that. I'm okay with a slow burn or poking each other or jumping right in. I mostly play around bakerstreet, but I'm comfortable with private psls if you prefer.

reaches out... the brainworms have started. very interested in playing this out and i can put a starter out sometime this week...

could be pre-2.0 or during thereabouts, focusing a little more on their give & take. a powerstruggle between harmony and order... what say you, friend

[personal profile] appeale 2024-04-15 08:07 am (UTC)(link)
yeah, I definitely wouldn't want anyone to feel like they're being forced into situations where they'll be OOC or even just situations that aren't fun to play - though, I think some of that can be mitigated by taking care with what counts as a "failure" just like any good tabletop DM. it's common DM advice that a failed roll should never mean you just say no to your players and stop the game there, which is something that could definitely be employed in this situation too.

as for the stats, I would definitely allow some headcanon/personal interpretation when it comes to allocation! and the stats themselves would be quite broad categories. for instance, a character who is very meek and unassuming could have points put in stealth because they're unnoticeable and it's not likely for them to be suspected of anything, rather than because they have any master thief abilities.

and there's also the option of what I mentioned with like... storing unused points for later, basically? maybe your character isn't good at anything but you want them to learn skills in game, so you've got 10 points to use and you "bank" 6 of them, then have your character learn to pick locks and start adding a few of those reserved points into stealth.

but again my biggest concern is that this would be too finicky and boring in a DWRP game... as a player I like dice roll mechanics a lot! as a mod I don't want my players to feel like I'm adding too many extra elements and rules to their pretendy fun times.

I've thoroughly enjoyed every thread we've had so I am very much up for anything if you are. I have other FF guys as well if Zack isn't what you're feeling rn. Unfortunately they're not FF7, so idk but figured I'd put it out there.

OFFERING
» AU Kuina | One Piece Live Action | [personal profile] oftheharmony

SEEKING
» This is an AU where, rather than dying, Kuina LIVED. And there's any number of ways the AU could go. Did she live somehow and no one knows? Did her father know and lie for some reason? Did she survive and has no memory of her past? Did she survive and fall in with some other pirates or pirate hunters? Is she searching for Zoro? Or maybe she survived and joined the Straw Hats in Zoro's place. Or maybe they joined together. There's a whole lot of paths that could be taken.

I'd love to explore any and all of them (and combinations thereof) with everyone and anyone. For friendships and moreships (because if there's chemistry I tend to ship it like FedEx, usually). And diving into all the fun details of how things might have changed or would have gone.

The stats honestly sound super fun! I would probably enjoy figuring them out in an app. I'm still not sure what I think on the dice rolls, but that's a good point about the failed rolls.

Would it be like a jamjar game and people are brought in from other worlds, or would it be meant to be the London of their world (if they're from Earth)?

Project Moon, Tales of Vesperia, Fire Emblem Three Houses

[personal profile] insinning 2024-04-15 09:00 am (UTC)(link)
offering:
▮ Emil Sinclair, Yi Sang, Taii, Catt, Angela (Project Moon-stuff)
▮ Yuri Lowell, Judith (Tales of Vesperia; happy with every version of yuri/flynn/judith)
▮ Ingrid (Fire Emblem Three Houses; always down for some Blue Lions nonsense)

and more! I am easily conned and persuaded.

Preferences:
- m/m, f/f, m/f is all fine with me.
- memes, au stuff etc (whether it's a generic au or characters being au'd into a particular verse)
- I love friendship building/platonic building
- Castmates are A+++,
- shipping is also great but I rather vibe before then. Smut is fine, but nothing between adult characters and teens.
- Minimum speed from me is one/two tags a day but I will backtag into infinity if you let me
- dms are easiest, but happy to be grabbed on discord/plurk at a later stage.

Lan Wangji; looking for anything and everything from gen to fluff, to self-indulgent and shameless, welcome to PWP and otherwise. Canon compliant, canon divergent, and AUs are all fine. ♥

Namely interested in memes atm, but I'm open to potential, more structured PSLs. I play from the novel.

Barry Allen | [personal profile] accelerate

Inej Ghafa | [personal profile] agile
Nikolai Lantsov | [personal profile] preened
Zoya Nazyalensky | [personal profile] erosive


preferences.
FOR BARRY: Are there??? Iris Wests??? still around??? I'm rewatching the show and found my Barry voice again—I'm in one of my favourite seasons (season two!) and would love to be able to flesh out Earth-2, the ramifications of the first two seasons, Flashpoint, and even go wild and fix the mess this show became with DCTV's Golden Couple. (I prefer to stay within seasons 1-2 (but can do a different season, esp. fixing Savitar stuff!) and am familiar with New 52's comics.)

FOR INEJ: I'm specifically looking for Kaz Brekker to do some stuff with, like fleshing out post-Crooked Kingdom and even exploring the time between Crooked Kingdom and Rule of Wolves (and even post-Rule of Wolves) with these two. There's so much potential between them—and a lot left unexplored—that I'd love to dive into it with my quiet slippers. I'd also like to flesh out Gregverse pirates with Inej! (I'm also down for doing an intimacy-exploration PSL considering these two have their issues, and it'd be great to explore that and unpack that trauma.)

I can do the show, but I tend to insert backstory from the books into my Inej.

FOR NIKOLAI: I'm specifically looking for Alinas who would be down for doing some stuff! I'm not particularly interested in doing anything wrt Alina being Queen of Ravka, but I would love to expand upon their relationship (even develop a proper friendship), have any romance be slowburn, and even try out fake dating/arranged marriage (kind of close to what canon plays with). I wouldn't mind extending the search for the Sea Whip into being an adventure-based PSL, and possibly AUing the Firebird because I genuinely love some adventure (it's one of my favourite tropes). I also really like Alina's ending in the books and wouldn't mind exploring how that impacts her. Fleshing out his demon stuff is always at the top of my wishlist.

I also love crosscanon. Nikolai tends to gel well with most of the characters thrown at him. (I'm not a fan of making him modern, however.) I ship M/F and prefer things to be slowburn/organically built.

I default to playing him from the books, but I can swing the show verse and supplement book backstory to flesh things out.

I have a wishlist for him that has a few ideas I'm keen to do, but I'm always open to workshopping other ideas.

FOR ZOYA: My kingdom for a book!verse Nikolai. Looking for any castmates and crosscanon.

I prefer playing Zoya from the books as I feel she has a lot more backstory and character in them than she does the show, but I'm also happy to mishmash the books with show canon considering the timelines are very different. Character beats I'd like to explore include how she feels now the civil war is over, politics in Ravka re: Grisha (let's make it a little messier and actually deal with them unlike the books), how she deals with being a dragon, Commander Zoya, and Queen Zoya. Rule of Wolves left us with the potential for more, and I'd love to do more stuff with where canon left off. I think also exploring the ramifications of war would also be fun.

I've been getting back into my ASOIAF days and think that Zoya has great potential to exist in that universe (tl;dr she ends up Queen of Ravka and can transform into a dragon at will, so, Old Valyria sounds like it's coming back online!) and would love to be able to actually flesh out the very paper-thin politics of the Grishaverse.

I have a few ideas already on my wishlist for her, although I'm always open to workshopping others.


notes.
  • Good with starting out on memes first to get an idea of our writing chemistry.
  • I'm a big fan of long-term psls with multiple threads creating continuity. If we gel and we find we share favourite tropes/scenarios, I'm also down for having multiple universes to write within. That's always fun! (I prefer to do things in a shared musebox so things are easier to find.)
  • I can do prose or action spam—I have no preference.
  • I am looking for shipping more than gen. I like my ships slowburn and to develop organically (I kind of like my smut to happen before Feelings Are Realised but can go with the flow). I like angst, miscommunication, they-can't-be-together-but-lets-damn-that-to-hell. I prefer to build up to characters being in a committed relationship because I find the courting/working things out/realising you have feelings to be a lot more fun than playing with characters already being in an established relationship. I do like to write out smut and like it to impact character/relationship rather than to write it for the sake of writing it!
  • I'm a medium-paced tagger; I can boomerang, but I also like to take a few days' off from tags. I don't expect my partner to be online all the time, and highly encourage them to take time off, too.
  • Preference is to start OOC communication in PMs. I have Discord.
  • If you're interested, please pm an account!

    definitely a jamjar! though it'll be the type of jamjar where I make it clear from the beginning that characters can never return home and have to become part of the setting instead.

    I don't think I'd use Fallen London itself, for various reasons, and instead would come up with the next city to take its place, whether that's a real world location or a new fictional place. the canon setting provides a lot of means by which I could make a jamjar happen in fun ways.

    All three are delightful but Wilma in particular there might be something we could come up with to play. My own OC here is a biblically accurate angel who pretends (sometimes poorly) to be a Totally Normal Guy(tm). Him playing the part of paranormal investigator in whatever official or otherwise capacity would absolutely be right up his alley. We can absolutely work out the partner angle or any other idea that might come to mind.

    Thank you, and hi Holmesiana player!! I have a couple Sherlock Holmeses kicking around (book, study in emerald, and the Lovecraft crossover video game from last year) (could possibly also write BBC but I'm not happy about it and the metatext would be scathing) but I've got him comfortably in a game or two, so the itch to scratch is different this month lol

    Raffles is kind of...it's like a Mario-Wario situation with Holmes, so, while he's very much his own guy, the foundation was there. It's the Letters from Bunny substack's fault -- it started in March and within a month I'd blazed through the stories and two adaptations. He is an awful awful man and I want to shove him in a locker, but I love unhealthy codependent gay Victorians so much 👀
