May 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.

    Villains seeking homes

    [personal profile] iravehementi 2024-05-12 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
    [character offered]:
    Fandaniel | Final Fantasy XIV
    Ardyn Izunia | Final Fantasy XV
    Vholran Igniseri | Tales of Arise

    Tentative:

    Sephiroth | Final Fantasy VII
    Sasarai | Suikoden
    Nier | NieR: Replicant
    Yuber | Suikoden

    [rp you're offering for / rp type you'd wanna play in]: Game. DW only. Preferably a game where villains can scheme, interact with the setting and make progress in their scheming. I love having baddies build up to something even if they are stopped when they finally reach that something (which I fully expect they would be.)

    Nier is more flexible.

    [preferences]:

    ✔ medium or fast paced
    ✔ back-tag friendly
    ✔ plot focused
    ✔ horror
    ✔ exploration
    ✔ fantasy
    ✔ urban fantasy

    → would prefer no power nerfing but I can go with nerfed powers if a game has most other things.

    ✘ slice-of-life
    ✘ memory loss
    ✘ forced permanent transformation mechanics
    ✘ smut games
    ✘ AU

    megumin: (Blaaaargh)

    Potential Konasuba crew looking for a home?

    [personal profile] megumin 2024-05-12 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
    [character offered]: I'm offering Megumin here, but I might be able to convince a Kazuma and a Yunyun to join too.
    [fandom]: Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo!
    [rp you're offering for / rp type you'd wanna play in]: Ideally I'm looking for a bigger game that would still allow Megumin to use her explosion magic. Whether or not there's actual threats for her to battle is another question, but she's not terribly useful outside of her one shot apocalyptic spell.

    I'm not sure if jamjars are still a thing since it's been years since I was last active in a DWRP game, but they're sort of my go to for game settings. I prefer a more cracky/slice of life kind of setting than super dramatic horror games or survival games.

    [preferences]: I'd probably prefer to avoid any smut games since Megumin is pretty young canonically, and that can really freak folks out. I haven't read the light novels yet, so I would probably take Megumin from around episode 4 of season 3.

    This is also my first EMP where I've been looking for a game that I can ever remember doing, so be gentle?

    Offering: Charlie Morningstar (Hazbin Hotel)

    Preferences:
    -Slow to Medium pace
    -Horror and AUs I’m good with
    -Not into smut games
    -Other than that, I’m good with most things
    rebelrunning: (Default)

    [personal profile] rebelrunning 2024-05-12 02:57 pm (UTC)(link)
    OFFERING:
    Toshiro Kasukabe ( Persona 5 Tactica )
    Iris Wilson OR Barok van Zieks ( The Great Ace Attorney )
    Rei ( Persona Q ) ( tentative )
    Ann Takamaki ( Persona 5 Royal ) ( tentative )


    PREFERENCES: Firstly, just want to note that I may not actually be applying to any suggested games for a while, since I’m kind of not in the best way mentally right now and it’s very hard to function enough to write consistently. So I want to get that more under control before joining anywhere! However, I’d love to shop around and see what’s available for the future, and potentially see if anyone is interested in seeing any of these characters around??

    My preferences are:
    - No sex games, but any other genre is fine.
    - Horror games are welcome too, but I’m not a big fan of AU games.
    - Low or reasonable AC if possible!
    - Castmates aren’t necessary but would be a huge draw! For Iris & Barok in particular I would love to play these two off each other potentially.
    - I’d also love to play Fret from NEO:The World Ends With You, but I still need to finish that game, so he’s not quite available yet. I also have Zenkichi & Ryoji from Persona 3/5 who I'd be willing to consider as well!
    vehementi: (» Solitude «)

    [personal profile] vehementi 2024-05-12 03:44 pm (UTC)(link)
    ( OFFERING )
    ‣ Sephiroth (Final Fantasy VII)

    ( PREFERENCES )
    ‣ Slow to medium paced.
    ‣ No sex games, but sex friendly is okay.
    ‣ Backtagging friendly with a reasonable AC.
    ‣ Fine with most genres, AUs are great, but a little iffy on complete power nerfing if the game isn't an AU setting.
    ‣ Castmates are great but not necessary.

    Tbh, just kind of craving a steady overarching plot where I can develop character relationships over time and see what happens! I'm leaning towards pre-madness Sephiroth, because I'm interested in him developing bonds with others and exploring how that develops/changes him as a character over time. That being said, if you're in the market for a villain, I'd be happy to deliver! I crave violence, Mother.

    P.S. I haven't been in a game in a terribly long time, so uhhh... be gentle?

    [offering]:
    Gale ([personal profile] tasteofmagic) - Baldur's Gate 3
    Morph ([personal profile] mightymorphin) - X-Men '97

    [rp type]: Games, memes, PSLs, whatever. Doesn't have to be on Dreamwidth.

    [preferences]:
    - Slow and/or easy AC preferred
    - Genre doesn't matter, 18+ is fine but no sex-only games
    - Both AUs and slice of life allowed
    - Power nerfing a-okay
    - Castmates are a HUGE plus, barring that other characters from the same universe or genre is also good (i.e. other Marvel heroes/superheroes or D&D/Forgotten Realms characters)

    [personal profile] oncearanger 2024-05-12 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
    [character offered]: Billy Cranston
    [fandom]: Power Rangers Cosmic Fury

    (This is the same Billy from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. He's still doing the spandex hero thing in his mid-forties (rip), but now also runs a domestic tech empire with some secret intergalactic relations on the side.)

    [preferences]:
    -Slight sci-fi preference for genre, though modern urban worlds are great too!. This is flexible for the right game environment though, he's done fantasy-ish stuff.
    -Preference for keeping powers, but again, flexible for the right environment.
    -Games where goofier/more off-the-wall character choices have been successful are a huge plus!
    -Not looking for sex-focused games or murdergames

    OFFERING:
    Shinobu Jacobs | No More Heroes 3

    TENTATIVE OFFERINGS:
    Angela Carpenter | Carole & Tuesday
    Saeko Mukoda | Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth
    Saga Anderson | Alan Wake 2

    PREFERENCES:
    • DW only
    • Slow to medium game speed
    • Back-tag friendly
    • ACs on the lower side
    • Slice-of-life and plot balance depends more on the character than anything. Shinobu and Saga would do better in plot-focused games, Angela in slice-of-life, while Saeko would do good in either, really. Either way, I'd like at least a little mix of the two to break things up.
    • No purely smut games (all of my girls would probably die!), but willing to check out sex-friendly
    • Not into games that are horror 24/7, but willing to check out games with horror elements
    • Also not into AU, memloss, or permanent transformations.
    • Power-nerfing okay (Saga WOULD solve the Death Note case, ez)
    • Having a decent amount of 25+ characters around would be great for 3/4 of the girls here (besides Angela, who is 16, in which case would be better with a decent amount of younger characters)
    • Castmates welcome, but totally not necessary! Cross-canon is my lifeblood. :)

    Cloud Strife | Final Fantasy VII Remake/Rebirth

    RP you're offering for/RP type you'd wanna play in: DW game or group PSL

    Preferences:

    ✔ slow-to-medium paced
    ✔ back-tag friendly
    ✔ minimal or no AC
    ✔ horror, exploration, urban fantasy, worldbuilding, some sci-fi - a blend of two or more is ideal
    ✔ some plot but not so much that it requires being constantly super-active to participate fully
    ✔ some slice of life but not so much that the game isn't providing clear hooks to spark thread ideas
    ✔ smut games a-ok
    ✔ castmates preferred
    ✔ opportunities for player plots, player input for events, and/or PC influence on how plot/events go preferred
    ✔ memloss & power nerfing are okay as long as the default is to regain them in play

    ✘ murdergames
    ✘ AU
    ✘ games with tons of players are a probable no-go, but I'm open to considering it if other things really appeal

    offering

    seeking
      ✔ slow/medium-paced. (basically, fast enough to keep me engaged but not so fast I get overwhelmed...)
      ✔ dw comm based preferred
      ✔ plot-focused. specifically, would love for something for the villainous to sink their teeth into or long-form character arcs to be feasible (i.e. dimitri going from pre-timeskip to post-timeskip via canon updates but some fun development along the way!)
      ✔ smut is fine! even better if flavors of monsterfucking and darker themes allowed
      ✔ any genre is good, but I do enjoy sci-fi/cyberpunk/post-apocalypse & survival, or horror most

      - castmates are always cool, but I don't mind going without
      - power nerfing is fine within reason since I know a couple of mine can break game settings, but also would like to toy with some of their abilities!

      ✘ completely AU games
      ✘ murder games

    🛩️ OFFERING 🛩️

    Paladin Danse | Fallout 4 | [personal profile] androidvictoriam

    🛩️ PREFERENCES 🛩️

    • Medium pace and AC.

    • Medium/large games preferred over small, but not a hard requirement.

    • Sex games are okay.

    • Not too heavy on the fantasy or supernatural elements. He's well-suited to sci-fi and horror, he'll be right at home in anything post-apocalyptic, and I like the idea of seeing how he'd function in a modern or futuristic city.

    • Darker/heavier themes generally preferred over lighter or slice-of-life things.
