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.

  • he's a lying smug dickhead. fr tho he's a 21st-century time traveler working to prevent an axis victory. but he's also a lying smug dickhead.
  • period-appropriate characters, such as spies, soldiers, bureaucrats, criminals, partisans, and even civilians reluctant to help.
  • other time travelers.
  • open to shipping (m/f only) but just a fair warning, it'll require lots of cr.
  • prefer to stick to historical realism (well lol as realistic as a story involving time travel is). but i'm also open to putting him in a superhero setting. some magical realism is fine.
  • also a-ok with making him a generic time traveler (only haven't committed to the idea cos i'm waiting for lucas englander to become boy lily james).
  • more info.
constantin[personal profile] mayest (oc)
  • reluctant king must deal with his tyrannical brother, bandits in the east, conflict within his cabinet, his self-doubt, and finding a wife.
  • fantasy and steampunk characters.
  • most interested in finding a wife for him but i'm also interested in gen (fellow rulers, nobles, magicians, soldiers, spies, courtesans, bandits, mercenaries, academics, gods, any of these characters, whoever!).
  • more info.
pietro[personal profile] pinball (mcu)
  • not 100% all in nor have i 100% set up his journal!
  • but i am very susceptible to peer pressure!
  • IF I DO PLAY HIM it will be that he's resurrected because of idk mumble mumble but also maybe an au where he never died so stupidly jfc. but hey! also interested in playing him from earth-838. what a wonderful and peaceful place that is. no trouble there 😊
  • obviously: his sis, his pops, his pals, his fans, admirers, well-wishers, and haters.
notes
  • 👍👍 to cross-canon, ocs, and cross-medium.
  • open to psls, memes, or a mixture.
  • i try to respond every day or every other day for longer tags but sometimes it can take me 4-5 days. for shorter ones and texting, i can boomerang.
  • i will backtag forever :')
  • default is brackets and present tense.
  • happy to give out socials after some conversation but ok communicating only through pm.

I've tapped you a couple of times with Zinda here but every time I see Jack around I'm like "I should throw Zinda at him more."

So! She's a heroic WWII resistance fighter who later gets thrown around time by Zero Hour (comics...) and I love doing AUs and what-ifs with her! (idk if you're cool with comics icons etc but I've had a weirdly hard time finding a good LA pb for her). Anyway! I feel like they could for sure get up to some WWII or time travel fun!

[personal profile] behest 2024-06-09 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
hey, i would love that! jack could always use help in his mission, and zinda fits the bill exactly. i have a ""generic"" time traveler au for him, where he just pops around whenever and wherever he feels like it, so they could meet either in wwii or the modern day (or both).
