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 fonts and other html that make ads super long, 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 canon 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.

➤ There is a "Pairings You Want to Play" section, where you can ask for castmates or crosscanon you'd like to ship with. Please format this with "[YOUR CANON] seeking [CASTMATE/OTHER CANON (if crosscanon)/SEE DESCRIPTION (if a general character type)]. For the actual text of the ad you must use the "Pairings You Want to Play" form provided at the bottom of this post so that these ads don't get huge. Alongside castmates and crosscanon, you can choose to ask for OCs or general character types as well. Try not to get too wordy and please don't outline entire scenarios.

➤ 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.

[Where]: PSL
[who I play]: Sephiroth (Final Fantasy VII)
[wanted]: Zenos yae Galvus (FFXIV) and Zack Fair (FFVII)
[why]: For Zenos, I have a powerful need to play out mutually obsessed enemies-to-lovers. I think they could easily match each others' freak, and I long for a chance to play it out lmao. They make really interesting parallels for each other in a lot of ways, and I think I'm really fond of this idea that neither of them ever really had an equal in combat until they met their respective protags. And them finding that in each other and escalating it to equal fascination/obsession would be a really fun thing to explore. I'm also curious where it would go after that. I'm quite appealed by this idea of Sephiroth becoming a fallen hero because of Zenos. Forsaking everything he knew in exchange for being understood and finally having an equal. And then where would it go from there? What motivations might they have once they're together? Yes, yes. (steepled fingers)

For Zack, I've just always really wanted a proper chance to play this ship out. I adore their interactions in Crisis Core and the way Sephiroth seems to grow softer and smile more whenever Zack is around. And those Rebirth prologue interactions? LORDT. Sephiroth clearly adores him. (Who doesn't?) And in conjunction with me having so many Ever Crisis feelings as of late, I'd really like to explore the idea of Sephiroth getting to experience some normalcy with Zack. I've always wanted to play out a Gold Saucer date so bad! That being said, there's definitely some room for angst and other forms of delicious drama/conflict if that's your cup of tea, and I'm always down for mutual pining or one-sided feelings. Also, I'm still bitter about their interaction at the church in Rebirth, because I wanted so much more. U g h. Very interested in giving them more of a fleshed out Rebirth-esque interaction, even better if they're exes at that point and there are some messy feelings mixed in there.

[game/psl info]: For Zenos: Full disclosure, I only started playing FFXIV at the beginning of last year, and my grasp on how the world fits together still needs some work. Some patience would be appreciated! As it stands, I was flirting with the idea of Sephiroth starting off as a hero of some sort before falling from grace, or maybe being a Garlean experiment himself. Zenos being brought in to the FFVII universe is equally excellent; there are definitely a few angles to shoot for, there. Off the top of my head, Zenos being a top secret Deepground experiment they're looking to merge with Shinryu much the way Vincent got merged with Chaos and Weiss with Omega. But I am open to all sorts of things.

For Zack: I'm full of ideas. Nibelheim fix-its are always great. Tbh, I'm really soft for instances where he, Zack, and Cloud (and/or Aerith!) all just run off together. Sneaking around while they're still in the army? Super cute. Or maybe they'd be open about it, idk. Who's gonna tell two Firsts that they can't date each other? NOBODY. Something a little darker a la timeline shenanigans post-Nibelheim? A+. AUs? Love 'em. I'm especially soft for the idea of Sephiroth escaping Shinra when he was younger, and either bumping into Zack (maybe he escaped all the way to Gongaga? idk) and staying with him, or maybe he ends up hiding out in the slums and Zack ends up joining the army anyway, and they eventually bump into each other that way. (waves hands) I'm open to pretty much anything.

For both: Just-- an additional note, I guess? That I do have journals for both Zenos and Zack if there happens to be a Sephiroth out there who's interested in giving either of these a whirl. However, I haven't voicetested Zenos in any capacity and I'm very nervous to do so lmao. And I'm definitely not as confident in my voice for Zack. I kind of end up leaning into his goofiness a lot more. But if you're willing to be patient with me, I'm more than willing to give it a shot! If you have any questions/interest, feel free to message me here or shoot me a DM!
