May EMP Meme
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!

FIND A CASTMATE
Doctor Who @labyrinthum
[fandom]: Doctor Who
[game's current cast]: 14th Doctor and Jenny
[who I play]: 14th Doctor
[wanted]: Noah, Rose, Donna, Captain Jack, The Toymaker, Amy Pond, Clara, Bill Potts, River Song
[game info]: The game is based on the movie The Labyrinth, along with a town where supernatural things happen. AC is 5 comments per month and here is the TDM
PERSONA @ 7DEAD
[fandom]: Persona series
[game's current cast]: Akira Kurusu and Takuto Maruki
[who I play]: Akira!
[wanted]: everyone would be super loved! some special shoutouts for Morgana, Akechi, Yoshizawa, Haru and the rest of the Phantom Thieves from p5, but we'd love to see other charas from the rest of the Persona and Shin Megami Tensei franchises as well (with another special shoutout here for the other protags!)
[game info]: 7Dead is a panfandom jamjar set in the city of 7, a cyperpunk-themed city that changes based on which of the 7 deadly sins and 7 deadly virtues has flourished the most in the hearts of the citizens. the game's events occur within the Amplitheater, a huge iridescent, multi-colored sphere at the heart of the city visible from all of the districts; characters are drawn into a grand story that the citizens of 7 enter and participate in so they can experience what each soul in the story goes through to better judge them. during this ceremony, new characters will be icly sorted into one of the vice/virtue pairs that will be used to power the city.
in terms of events, previously we had a mashup between the worlds of Battle Angel Alita, Chobits and Detroit: Become Human, a big theme of which was what it meant to be a person weighed alongside the rights granted to those deemed "human". our current month's event also doubles as the second tdm, drawing from series such as Star Wars, Cowboy Bebop, and Mass Effect for a mixture of space opera meets space bounty hunters; players have the option to involve as much or as little of these canons as desired, as well as the choice of making their character's story/ies as light or dark as they like. through previous player actions, we've now also enabled the option for characters to lose themselves within their roles and believe their Amplitheater lives are their true ones instead of their canon memories (this can be opted out of or played around with as much as players choose). castmate developments have been slow but steady so far; there's been a bit stirred up by Akechi being Akira's roommate and [third semester redacted] before disappearing at the end of last month, and Maruki's arrival has brought the realization that characters are pulled from different points in time (among... Other Things, of course).
the current tdm is here, and both apps and reserves are open indefinitely (with reserves expiring two weeks from the time they are put in). here's some other helpful links with further info: vices & virtues, setting, ac rewards (including the powers character can obtain), and the calendar (including some of the aforementioned info). currently I'm on hiatus so I may be a little slow to reply, but feel free to respond here or PM Akira's journal if you have any questions!

[who I play]: eloise
[wanted]: ben, pen, colin, anthony, kate, frannie, any of the qc cast would also be loved, too

THE WALKING DEAD @ LONGESTNIGHT
[fandom]: The Walking Dead (TV)
[game's current cast]: Glenn Rhee
[who I play]: Glenn aka the only one
[wanted]: it would be cool to have anyone consider tbh but like. especially The Gang. Maggie, Rick, Daryl, Michonne, Carol, Carl, Abraham, Eugene, Tara, Rosa, 800 other characters I can't remember rn because I'm tired, etc.
[game info]: A small, slow-paced game with super chill AC! It's panfandom fantasy with a lot of sandbox qualities and room to breathe between plots, based around some really cool Rise of the Guardians flavor! The premise and short facts page is a lot better at explaining than I am. It's invite-only, but afaik it's chill for current players to invite people from EMP and such. Worth thinking about 👀
Dragon Age @ Pumpkin Hollow
[fandom]: Dragon Age
[game's current cast]: Just me!
[who I play]: Anders
[wanted]: Other DA2 folks would be great, particularly Varric, Merrill, Isabela, and Hawke (my Anders has been vague about his Hawke aside from implying they leaned purple), but also anyone from the series in general!
[game info]: Pumpkin Hollow is a horror-comedy purgatory for characters who died/had near death experiences on a cursed island in a Victorian gothic fantasy setting. It's pretty big and can be a bit fast-paced but is extremely backtag friendly, has a fantastic community, SUPER easy AC that rewards activity. We're still not so deep into the meta plot that it's too hard to catch up so drop on by!
Tolkien's Legendarium @ Songerein
[fandom]: Tolkien's Legendarium
[game's current cast]: Just Maedhros currently
[who I play]: Maedhros
[wanted]: Fingon, Maglor, Fëanor, Nerdanel, Fingolfin, Elrond, Elros, etc. etc. (honestly I'd be happy to see any castmate there.)
[game info]: Songerein is a panfandom game based on the following three former games: Somarium, Empatheias, and Forgotten Tales. At its core it is a worldbuilding game with adventure and character development. Player and character action will be what decides what is brought into Songerein, be it for good or ill. Although it's expected for players to be able to create their own fun and not rely solely on the mods, Songerein is billed to be more of a relaxed game for everyone to have fun in.
The TDM is unfortunately not until next month, however.
Akatsuki no Yona (Yona of the Dawn) @ Labyrinthum
[fandom]: Akatsuki no Yona (Yona of the Dawn)

Join us on the TDM!
Star Wars @ Etraya
[fandom]: Star Wars
[game's current cast]: Boba Fett, Anakin Skywalker, Padme Amidala, Mal Durrish (OC)
[who I play]: Boba Fett (specifically from his Legends timeline)
[wanted]: Anyone and everyone Star Wars! Some faves of mine would be anyone from the OT crew (Leia, Han, Luke, you name it) or from The Mandalorian TV series (Din, Bo-Katan, Cobb Vanth, Mayfeld, etc). Also, I know it's a long-shot, but any other Expanded Universe characters (esp any hailing from the Legacy of the Force series of novels) would be amazing!
[game info]: Etraya takes place in a temporary city at the center of the collapsing multiverse, where characters are brought by the mysterious Echo to prove that their universe is one of the few that should be saved from destruction. To assist in Echo's judgment, characters are regularly deployed on missions "meant to test their courage, strength of will, capability for love, compassion, desire, and other traits." Only those deemed worthy will have their universes spared from the coming calamity.
There are no AC requirements, though activity logs can be exchanged for points which can purchase in-game rewards. The current TDM is here.
Re: Star Wars @ Etraya
SCUM VILLAIN'S SELF-SAVING SYSTEM @ PLUVIOSA
[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!

BLAZBLUE @ EXPIATION
[fandom]: BlazBlue
[game's current cast]: Ragna the Bloodedge
[who I play]: good ol' Rags here
[wanted]: ANYONE! I know it's a long shot, but I would absolutely love any characters here; special mention goes to Ragna's siblings (obviously) and either of the snakes (because I live to make Ragna suffer), but everyone's welcome. I will happily bribe you with icons if needed!
[game info]:
"Welcome to Expiation, an adventure game with science fiction, fantasy, and subtle horror elements, that explore the concepts of crime versus innocence, definition of atonement, and reflection of self. Events occur bimonthly and it is up to the new residents of this world to uncover the truth of their circumstances, find a means to survive, and return to their original worlds, if they so choose to."
Characters arrive in Expiation accused of a crime (either of the player's choosing or assigned by the mods) and are told to await their sentencing without further explanation. They can explore the world to discover its past and secrets, as well as influence the way it develops onwards, while trying to figure out the reason behind their arrival there.
Applications are bi-monthly and will open on June 23rd while the reserves will open on June 20thth; the new TDM will go live on June 10th! There's a player cap that is currently sitting at 50/70. The AC requirements are 15 comments a month across 2-3 threads.
RWBY @ Pumpkin Hollow
[fandom]: RWBY
[game's current cast]: Just Ruby!
[who I play]: Ruby
[wanted]: Penny, Yang, Blake, Weiss, Oscar, Pyrrha, Jaune, Nora, Ren, Qrow... or literally anyone, honestly, but obviously I'd love her teams.
[game info]: Pumpkin Hollow is a horror/comedy/SoL/mystery game about a cursed island where death is impossible, residents are trapped, gods and demons are battling for control, and everyone has secrets. The setting itself is Victorian Gothic in a fantasy world. Its premise makes it fantastic for characters who died, though there's also plenty of ways to make your character fit the premise if they don't have a canonical death/near death experience, and there's plenty of opportunities to get in on the lore and help solve the mystery or change the environment. Medium-to-fast pace, but very backtag friendly and check-in AC with activity being useable for bonuses. The latest TDM is here, with plenty of stuff to do!
The TL;DR on Ruby herself is that she's from episode 8 of V9, on top of a kinda intense CRAU history that means she's down an eye but up a bunch of character development, which puts her in a strange place mentally that she's working her way through. It's easier to explain this and what other characters may know about her friends from home outside of the ad, but there's a bunch of potential CR between the wider game cast and RWBY folks that I'd love to see develop.
Haikyuu at labyrinthum
[fandom]: haikyuu
[game's current cast]: kageyama, Kenma
[who I play]: kageyama
[wanted]: anyone but in particular any of the crows (it goes without saying Hinata especially), nekoma, oikawa, atsumu
[game info]: a private, dark fantasy game based off the labyrinth. Has everything from slice of life to exploration to horror.
tdm
FFVII & FFXV @ Amani
[fandom]: FFVII & FFXV
[game's current cast]: For FFVII it's Cloud, Sephiroth, Zack, Genesis, Angeal, and Nanaki. For XV it's the four chocobros and Ardyn.
[who I play]: Cloud and Noctis
[wanted]: Anyone at all! Aerith, Barret, Rufus, Reno/Rude, and Lunafreya would be especially loved by me personally, but literally anyone would be awesome ^_^
[game info]: Here's the mod page with info and here's the current TDM, though a new one is going up on the 22nd so waiting until then might make sense too. The game is invite-only, but we can ask the mods to invite people from EMP and such if it seems like a good fit.
Amani is a small game that has a focus on intimacy, and most events do facilitate smut but any kind of intimacy counts - we have a few ace characters in the game and they have plenty to do, too! It takes place in a simulation where the characters' souls and consciousnesses have been uploaded so that they can use intimacy to generate resources to restore destroyed worlds...or at least, that's what the people in charge claim.

FINAL SPACE @ LONGESTNIGHT
[fandom]: Final Space
[game's current cast]: Just Little Cato
[who I play]: Little Cato
[wanted]: I'd love anyone but especially Gary, Avocato, and Ash
[game info]:
Little Cato had a rough start due to being captured by an evil organization that wants to hunt Santa Clause but otherwise is going to be his usual high energy self. I would really love castmates to be able to play with the aftermath of the season finale.
Inviting from emp is allowed but since it's an invite game I would wanna chat a little over PM first.
