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.

otome games, cross-canon

[personal profile] boba 2024-04-15 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
offering,
Collar x Malice — Kei Okazaki, Yuzuru Saeki.
Hana Awase — Himeutsugi.
looking for,
collapsing specifics to spare most of you from having to scroll
Ichika and Mikoto are my obvious wants, but shipping is my greatest motivator (M/*) and if you're willing to meet me halfway, I promise there is no force stronger than my shipper heart. In lieu of my character's respective heroines:
✦ For Saeki, the biggest longshot would be asking for a Mikuni, but you miss every shot you don't take. I will literally cry and give you anything you desire, including but not limited to my riches, firstborn, kingdom, etc., etc. My yearning for an Ichika is just as strong as I do want to explore the dynamic the game kept implying they had but never showed except when convenient—what do you mean they're best friends who drank and vented at each other!! We saw it twice, maybe thrice, help. I'd love to set the scenes in the context of other routes, with the inevitable for [ REDACTED ]. Naturally, it is what I'm most thirsty for and I cannot lie, though if you want a reincarnation au in line with the one end I'm just as down.

✦ For Okazaki, anyone from the detective agency! He has great rapport with everyone there. Yanagi for similar reasons behind why I'd love an Ichika (spoilers), Sasazuka because it's amusing how Okazaki simply declares they're lunch besties one day and it'd be fun to expand on, and frankly, him and Enomoto are hilarious together and you can't tell me a terrible fake dating scenario between them wouldn't have us both in stitches. Shiraishi is the only one who'd be a bit of a mystery, but if we can figure out the hows and whys I do think the bits when they banter in-game are excellent.

He's also the character I think would work best for cross-canon—he works in a specialized division in the police force guarding VIPs, acts like an airhead (he's not), is friendly and has no concept of personal space, but is slow to open up so despite his many disarming and mood making qualities, holds his cards very close to his chest. His greatest wish is to find someone worth protecting, and you can probably see where this leads because he's one of Those types where once he falls for someone, grapples internally with being overprotective and possessive. Otherwise, he's the guy who keeps getting broken up with because high-key, he sucks at commitment.

✦ For Himeutsugi, literally any of the other Brights or minamo, with an obligatory soft spot for Mizuchi. The last game robbed us hard of cast dynamics after giving us glimpses of what could've been, so I'm equally willing to pick up whoever if you want someone else. I care for the entire cast a lot, and despite having my grievances towards the last game there's potential. I would love to set scenes in either the eternal or heavenly worlds.

✧ If there's anyone else out there also going through Tengoku Struggle, I'm enjoying the cast a fair bit! Just putting my feelers out for any other potential castmates. Odds are I'll end up picking up Goemon or one of the non-LIs.

✧ All that said, if you have a castmate or an otome game/otome game-adjacent character I haven't listed here, I'd still love to have them! I mostly listed the likelier possibilities (shh), and in the event you aren't up for shipping, gen is swell and I won't push the envelope.

✧ Unrelated to any of these characters, I have a truly useless wealth of knowledge except in this precise niche scenario of both otome games and shoujo isekais, so if you'd like to write an unholy transmigration plot involving any of these worlds or a third, take your pick out of possible dynamics from my hat and I can easily spin a roulette and spit out ideas until there's something we're both satisfied with.

✧ Down to set initial scenes in the scope of a jamjar or defaulting to a generic modern AU to facilitate texting, just to see how we mesh before moving onto something more involved. I'm easy.
other,
✧ I'll backtag for as long as there's mutual interest, and depending on my schedule which is in constant flux, tags can range anywhere from boomerang speed to a few times a week.
✧ R18 content is fine. Not interested in PWP, but if we're talking about enemies/friends with benefits scenarios, I'm listening. 🔎
✧ PM or leave a comment if interested. Happy to exchange Discord uns after we've threaded once or twice.

ah i see you're a man of culture as well

i'm not currently playing any otome characters (cardia coderealize my beloved you are simply too nice for me) but i AM permanently obsessed with otome games and all tropes of its genre!! my current girl here IS a shoujo isekai (manhwa ver.) though and i'd love to try her with any boys or specific scenarios you're interested in atm??? i do adore okazaki and saeki and they're both insane, which rudbeckia is used to 👍

HELP i'm not sure if my poor choices can be considered cultured, but they sure are something alright

rudbeckia tho... my wife. i'm crying at how we're going to save her(?) from izek only to give her someone objectively worse bc i only have saeki set up rn. but you know. saeki will theoretically treat her better(??) and that's what we're here for. it's been a hot second since i've read her canon, but i am pretty familiar! seeing as we have the potential to do an insane crossover here, i think it could be fun to have her reincarnate into the cxm verse with knowledge of it....... or have them both be reincarnators elsewhere if we don't want to touch that insanity. otherwise, i'm just as happy to hit up any meme that's to your liking and roll with whatever punches 👍
appeale: (just don't be blameful)

HGLKFDHG GOD transmigrating into cxm and knowing saeki spoilers while she has to pretend to be clueless... her stress levels are through the roof as always

i think ruby could be really fun with saeki though since she considers herself an irredeemable person and doesn't really have morals when it comes down to it, she'd actually be extremely capable of accepting him as he is. as long as somebody loves her why does it matter if they do a murder??? she'd get where saeki is coming from even if personally she just wants to have a normal life and she'd tell him off for being unhinged...... bad end (affectionate)
affixture: (pic#17074886)

[personal profile] affixture 2024-04-15 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
LMAO PLEASE it's going to be fascinating to him, sorry in advance. from 0 to 100 on the unhinged scale if she starts acting differently around him or there's something a little off about their interactions, bc he definitely deliberated doing you know what but what can she do, really. it turns out to be more fun to put her under a microscope to study her reactions. sighs

and wdym she won't get a normal life? was the aquarium and crepe date not perfectly normal? good end (totally not questionable)
appeale: (this ice cream-covered)

[personal profile] appeale 2024-04-16 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
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.....

i do have an ichika i could dust off to play against your kei! he was one of my favorite boys from cxm so would definitely be interested in doing things with these two...
boba: (Default)

[personal profile] boba 2024-04-18 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
completely biased opinion here, but ichika's dynamic with him was one of my favourites too! so if you'd like to dust her off, i'd love to have you. ♥

was there anything in particular that you'd like to explore with ichika but never had the chance to?
collarings: (✖ cheering)

[personal profile] collarings 2024-04-20 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
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...
