June 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 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.

offering.
● alhaitham (genshin)
● aventurine (hsr)
● boothill (hsr)
● big boss (mgs)
● gray fox (mgs)
● haurchefant (ffxiv)
● regis (witcher)
● wriothesley (genshin)

seeking.
for my genshin and hsr folks, i'm basically in the voicetesting stage with them and would rather write something low commitment. that being said, i'm down for memes (my favorite meme is the arbys one so i will literally do whatever) or an actual thread, just no smut or like heavy ship angst?? hard to explain, you probably know what i mean. i'm open to AUs, cross-canon, whatever; if you think our two characters would jive boy am i here to facilitate it.

alhaitham. am cool to interact with any of the cast, as i think haitham just being his blunt, bitchy self is hilarious. my ship preference is kaveh, but it would also be fun to just explore their friendship dynamic, too. i think it would also be interesting to interact to hsr people, too? alhaitham in space.........

aventurine. tbh, would love to interact more with ipc crew and kind of flesh out those relationships. my ship preference is with ratio, but i would love some kind of annoying sibling relationship with topaz. not sure how to feel about jade yet, obvs more to her than meets the eye just from seeing her LC, but headcanon so far is that she definitely has a hand firmly on his leash. would also be interested in something with boothill, they clearly have a lot to talk about regarding oswaldo and the ipc in general.

boothill. i got destroyed by his 'cannot go back anymore' message and now im here to play this goofy whacky woohoo cowboy that i want to cry over. don't have anything solid for him, just want to flesh out his character more so am down to interact with ANYONE. no ship preference for him.

big boss. does anyone even rp from this fandom anymore........ anyway, mgs3 delta is around the corner and my brain wants to scratch this itch again. don't have anything concrete, just wanna tag!! ship preference is eva, kaz, ocelot (all three at once is generally my canon for him), but i doubt i'm gonna find a ship partner from this old ass series so i'm not prioritizing this. mainly wanna interact with any other mgs characters, including his sons, but open to anything.

gray fox. again, see blurb above. ship preference is dave snake for this one, down for some kind warped hero worship thing with a bb but i generally treat him as frank's dad. open to cross-canon, too.

haurchefant. can he be alive for dawntrail he deserves a vacation..... would love to do some 'never died' au stuff with him or Actually The WOL type of thing AU, too. happy to interact with ff WOL OCs if you truly have something you wanna do that's not super deep ship stuff, also wanna interact with scions or ishgard crew. no ship preference for him, he's just happy to be here.

regis. have read books, played games, and seen show. since he's coming in the next season, my brain wants to jump back on the regis train and just kind of flesh out his character a little more. would like to interact with geralt (doesn't matter what version), but cool to interact with other characters too if there's something you wanna do. no ship preference.

rizzley. ngl, would love to thread with neuvi or sigewinne or both!! i love their dynamic and wriolette/neuvisley is my primary ship for genshin. however, i love clorinde and would love to do something exploring their friendship (clearly wingmanning for each other would hilarious).

preferences.
● hi, i'm slow. i try to tag back every couple of days, but i have been known to take up to a week (or more) getting back to threads. i play a lot of videogames please understand (dawntrail is in 2 weeks). if you are cool waiting for tags and don't mind backtagging into infinity, then buddy, we're gonna get on just fine.

● i have seen people say they are intimidated/turned off by long tags, and i am, unfortunately or fortunately, a yapper. i generally just try to provide a tag in which there is a definitive hook for people to tag back to, however, i Love Character Introspection. sorry in advance.

● again open to AUs, cross-canon, shipping, non-shipping, memes, psls, whatever, i'm very easy going and more enticed by something if it's 1) funny 2) interesting, shipping does not need to apply.

● you can comment here, PM this account or [personal profile] carim for plotting or questions. if we develop a psl idea together, i'm happy to exchange discord info for easier chatting.

[personal profile] carim is my central rp hub and i have a muselist there. if someone on the list takes your interest, you can shoot your shot trying to set something up with that character instead!

I'd be super interested in some kind of Haurchefant-as-the-WOL AU! I have journals for/have played an embarrassing number of Scions and Ishgardians, also, so I can probably cater to most anything you'd want to do with him.

ALSO - I can't do this immediately because I'm only halfway through a Blood and Wine replay, but I remember being big sad about how Regis just kind of vanishes. After I finish, I'd love to do a thread where Geralt tracks him down, or something!

i've recently decided to try this motherfucker again in hopes of the remake breathing live into military gay simulator fandom, if you can take a joke with my mess of an icon situation and some awkwardness getting back into the voice.

I am rotating the idea of Haurchefant WOL going through SHB so hard it's about to start smoking. Is that anything/interesting to you?

holds out my hands for boothill. let's talk about all the traumatic shit he's been through
