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.

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.

the witcher + crosscanon

[personal profile] szpakowaty 2024-04-15 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
OFFERING:
・regis, your friendly neighborhood high vampire from the witcher book and games series.

SEEKING:
・everything, enthusiastically! wide open to interactions with canon and cross-canon characters, happy to finagle anything if it helps us have fun.

NOTES:
・happy to play regis after the events of b&w (either ending), or pluck him from any canonpoint in the books (i haven't read season of storms yet, but i've gone through all the others!). i haven't watched the netflix series, but i'm happy to play with LA versions of the characters if there's any interest.
・character details as cribbed from my own info page:
Regis is a higher vampire. In the world of The Witcher, higher vampires come with an incredibly OP powerset (immortal, impervious to sunlight, fire-resistant, can turn into shadow-fog, can compel humans with no built-in magical resistances, can turn into bats, can converse with corvids, etc.); they are also impossible to kill unless the last blow is dealt by a fellow higher vampire. Because the population of higher vampires in The Witcher World is so limited (due to them being imports from a literal other world when the multiverse collided, don't worry about it,) vampire-on-vampire murders are condemned to the highest degree in Vampire Society.

・addendum to the above: regis has sworn off drinking human blood (and stimulants in general) after suffering from sanguine addiction during his younger years. this is an extremely important part of who he is/who he's decided to be.
・that said, the b&w DLC is pretty cavalier about regis' drinking (alcohol and otherwise), so i'd love to explore that in rp if it strikes anyone's fancy.
・i have passable knowledge of frequently-seen fantasy canons in dwrp (got, hotd, grishaverse), love lotr and bg3, and generally love to learn about other people's blorbos!!!
・medium-speed tagger (at least once a day, will boomerang on occasion), present tense default, brackets preferred but prose welcome.

feel free to pm me to work anything out, and thank you in advance. ♥

may i just say that i love you for playing regis, he's my absolute fave from the witcher!

i'd offer this ridiculous hell jester for cross canon times, but i'm not sure if that might be a bit of a stretch for you (totally understand if so). just wanted to throw out the love either way.

!! hello hello...!! grips your hands firmly in solidarity over vampire loving rights, and thank you for your interest. ♥

i apologize in advance for being canonblind to hazbin, but i'm always happy to try and work something out if you're fine with my initial fumbling over your canon 8')!

solidarity regis fanclub forever! he was easily the best bit of b&w which was already fantastic.

i absolutely don't mind canonblindness or fumbling at all, and would love to work something out. feel free to dm me and we can plot there, or switch to plurk or discord to work something out, whatever floats your boat.

mini rundown: fizz is from the canon helluva boss. he's an imp (one of the lowest type of creatures in hell). he works as a jester/clown, hence the outfit, and is definitely a lover not a fighter. he can be very crude and rude, but he's quite a sweetheart underneath it. he's also a quadruple amputee (poor boy got blown up as a child) and has stretchy prosthetics as a result.

Just dropping by to say I adored our short little thread with them, and you write a fabulous Regis! I would absolutely be down to do more b&w stuff, or book era things, I love Regis with my whole heart regardless of canonpoint!

!!! hello hello, this is where i apologize for being awkward in our thread because i intended to PM you about going from text to action and got... too shy... stares at my hands. but i would love to do more in-game or what-if scenarios with regis and geralt, given that they finally reunited and then... promptly spent 85% of the DLC in different places... cdpr please!!!!!!
bialy_wilk: (Default)

[personal profile] bialy_wilk 2024-04-15 12:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Extremely freaking rude of cdpr tbh!!! The first time I played b&w was after reading the books and I was SO HAPPY to see Regis, I wanted 1000% more scenes with him. One of the few people Geralt will admit to being friend-shaped... love that for him.

Anyway I'm happy to pick up where that one ended, in that thread or elsewhere, or kick off something new!

[personal profile] szpakowaty 2024-04-15 12:39 pm (UTC)(link)
like, i understand that cdpr had to contrive reasons for regis to come back, but i wish he and geralt could've had more than 1 (one) entire conversation that WASN'T about dettlaff. geralt and regis' friendship is So Important...........

definitely happy to continue with the previous thread if you're good with picking it back up, or winding around any canonpoint in the books/game! i always thought it would be interesting if regis were around for events in hearts of stone as well. if there's anything you wanted to explore, i am more than happy to oblige!!

[personal profile] bialy_wilk 2024-04-15 12:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Me spending as long as possible every single time exploring every avenue of conversation with them before I have to get to the actual plot... where is my 'Geralt and Regis enjoy a well deserved retirement in wine country' expansion, cdpr?

REGIS W/HoS, look at you, offering to fulfill my fondest Witcher desires. I would love that, I always thought he'd be a great addition to that storyline. Pls imagine Geralt grumbling to him about having to play host to a jock at a wedding... chef's kiss.

ANYWAY, coming for ur inbox!

i will say this 500 times, but "corvo bianco" being "white crow" will always slay me gently. that is geralt and regis' retirement home (with yen, also an incredibly important addition!!!!).

definitely happy to work anything out at any point, including plopping regis in HoS, but super excited to continue threading with you in the meantime!!! thank you so much for indulging me. ♥
