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.

➤ 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.

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!

I'd love to offer Alina for anything, but I am a huge fan of the idea of doing a Kanthony Bridgerton AU.

Adventure! ✨ Once I'm all caught up, let's start the Pirate AU.
