July 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.

MOD CONTACT:

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.

That's Jack's canon point too. He would be glad to see Rose again, especially after all that Canary Wharf stuff, given who he works for now...

I mean, lord knows I'm always open to more with Tommy and with you in particular. I'm just popping my head in because a plurk friend saw this and went 'I know you ship them'.

That said, talking in cross canon and all of that, it occurs to me Warren Peace is Will's age and a high schooler, so that's always open too.

Okay hello, I have read the book many years ago but haven't seen the show yet, so I admit my understanding of Claudia is dated. However, I would like to offer this slightly crackers toxic lesbian whose canon type is violent morally complicated ladies. She will have zero issue treating Claudia like a goddamn adult who fucks.

I would be very down to see if they have thread chemistry if you want to fire up a meme somewhere! Or I can write a custom start, totally fine with me as well. Root would be interesting (read: potentially challenging) to AU to a past time point, so modern setting would be easiest for me to start with unless you have another idea!
computation: (008)

Person of Interest / cross-canon welcome!

[personal profile] computation 2024-07-17 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[Offering]: Root, Harold Finch

[Looking For]: Almost anything, honestly, especially cross-canon! Obviously a kingdom for a Shaw or Reese, but otherwise: fun complicated F/F for Root, fun complicated anything for Harold, love me some ships, gen, found family, AUs, all of the above. I'm also interested in trying some kinkier stuff with both of them but probably would need the right opposing character.

[preferences]: A little shaky as I get back into this series, but very enthusiastic, lol. Please join me in POI hell. Canon familiarity honestly not required if any of the below sounds interesting to you. I'm a pretty flexible tagger who likes a variety of quick action / network conversations and lengthy, meatier prose. I tag at least a couple times a week, sometimes more and sometimes less. Ideally would love to find long-term PSL partners, but happy to try things out on memes first!

Brief summary for Root: toxic lesbian with mild psychosis and extremely flexible morals, extremely good hacker, previous occasional contract killer turned vigilante following the Voice-of-God aka a sentient super-surveillance AI. Canon nicknames include Cocoa Puffs, Nutter Butter, and analog interface.

Brief summary for Harold: the guy who built the sentient super-surveillance AI, extremely private person who faked his death and abandoned his whole life due to strong ethical principals; loves computers, menswear and libraries; secretly a huge softie who hates violence and wants to take care of people. Canon nicknames include Mr. Good News, Mr. Vocabulary, and upper management.

Detroit: Become Human, The Fall, crosscanon

[personal profile] lickstheevidence 2024-07-17 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Offering:

Connor, deviant flavor

Looking For:

Hank Anderson, Colonel Josephs (AU), various androids

Preferences:

- I'm in EST, and tag mostly in the evening. I try for one tag reply per character per day, but sometimes it could be every couple of days.
- I play Connor as M/F, and I'm mainly looking for a platonic friend/dad figure Hank Anderson for a long-term psl taking place in DBH-era Detroit, already in progress. It has a plot and everything!
- I'll match any style, prose or brackets, and I prefer present tense.
- Dreamwidth only
- PM this journal for information or any questions.

[Where]: Meme/PSL
[who I play]: G'raha Tia | FFXIV
[wanted]: Koana | FFXIV

[why]:
Because I finished Dawntrail some time ago and saw this artwork. Made me start to think "okay but what if..." Honestly I don't have a big lengthy reason other than nerdy cats being awkward. I just think it is neat

[game/psl info]: I've got a musebox but also an open RP post on this journal. Now I don't have anything specific in mind other than your usual tropes but I am very open to ideas. Can poke me here or in a PM.

hello, I play a Yami Bakura (tho I prefer to call him "the Ring-Spirit" if that's not a dealbreaker?) & would be very interested in something with a Yuugi (or Ryou!)
destinedhost: (46)

[personal profile] destinedhost 2024-07-18 10:08 am (UTC)(link)
Aaaaaaaa!!!!

That's not a dealbreaker at all!! I am incredibly interested in this!!

[personal profile] 99problems 2024-07-18 12:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Hi, potentially interested! Could you tell me a little more about the dynamic you're looking for from a TKB psl?
destinedhost: (55)

[personal profile] destinedhost 2024-07-18 12:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa--

Okay, deep breaths.

Hmmm...I guess one that explores the complex dynamics that would come from, say, getting to open up (or being forced to open up / rely on) either his former host or the literal vessel of the pharaoh.

I mean: what would have happened if Yuugi learned of Kul Elna before he got attached to the pharaoh? What would have happened if Yuugi got the ring instead? What would have happened if, Gods forbid, he ended up in the actual past during mw and met tkb instead of shadow game shenanegans? I want to explore that slow burn, because I think if Yuugi got to see tkb's side first, he would have tried to *save* him.

Also there's the discussion of his past actions, growth, etcetc

And in terms of Ryou...

Where does TKB start and the RS end? How would Ryou have developed if he knew more about him rather than just being knocked out in the ring? I s TKB the Ring? How far does that go?

Ryou's fascination with the occult and the dead would play a role too.

Ngjggghghghg I have many thoughts don't mind me--
destinedhost: (13)

[personal profile] destinedhost 2024-07-18 12:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I just realized I had more to say G o d s --

I guess to clarify what I mean about "redemption", I don't mean "omg Yuugi / Ryou heals TKB and makes him a good person" because his whole thing is a lot more complicated?

Ryou and Yuugi are complicated people; Ryou has attachment issues and he has a lot of Ring Baggage.

Yuugi? He's a person so selfless that he sees no real anything in himself. And finding that strength and conviction without relying on someone else to do it for him is its own kind of redemption.

Also for being complicit in upholding the myth and divinity of the pharaoh even though...atrocities. Season 0.

Tl;dr: shit's complicated and I like exploring those complexities and differences in perspective / ethics / etc

[personal profile] 99problems 2024-07-18 02:47 pm (UTC)(link)
This is a lot of good stuff, thank you!! Is anything from here like your TOP interest? Like I guess the first question is, would you rather play Yugi or Ryou? I'd be cool with either of them; piggybacking off your ideas, stuff that jumps out at me includes:

Yugi
- The idea of Yugi trying to "save" TKB because he's gotten to know him twins well with TKB potentially trying to do the reverse: he twigs this is (or could be, depending on timing) an important person to the Pharaoh so he goes all-in on trying to "steal" him. To change his opinion and turn him against Atem. So you have one guy yelling BECOME A BETTER PERSON and the other going I'MMA MAKE YOU WORSE H-HAHAHAH (this probably does not work as he intends, because Yugi) and feels get caught somewhere in the middle.

Ryou
- I'll be honest I haven't played much "TKB conscious in the Ring" despite reading lots of doujin to that effect, but the idea of him and Ryou just Stuck In A Box (Okay, A Circle) together has the potential for both drama and humor. Especially since Ryou didn't ask to be possessed and TKB knew (or thought he knew) exactly what he was getting into when he put on the Ring.

"The monarchy calls itself justice but it committed a massacre to create these things full of evil magic that makes you a worse person! I'm going to WEAR AS MANY OF THEM AS I CAN!" sir. please.

Bonus points if they occasionally popcorn gallery what's happening in canon. "Get ready. He's about to stab us in our own arm." "What? No! Why would he---AAAAGH" /thief king nonchalantly chews a bulb of garlic
destinedhost: (7)

[personal profile] destinedhost 2024-07-18 03:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Why are you making me choose. I love both. So much. These vibe so well with me that I am shrieking at my desk internally rn

Bo...th?????

Yuugi has so much potential for feelings and really having him look into his own morality and what is "right" versus "wrong". Also yes tkb. Pls try to steal this baby.

(I admittedly have a preference towards Yuugi and that dynamic but likeeeeeeeee-- that's like comparing a NY Strip to a Tbone steak.

*screaming*)

Hhhhhhhhhhh TKB and Ryou being stuck together would be so interesting. Is he an ally? Enemy? Ryou's lonely ass would still cling regardless but like. Comparing tkb who is the King of Totally Good Decisions Really with Ryou (and arguably Yuugi), someone who makes Even Worse Decisions just makes me scream with both the comedic and dramatic potential aaaa
99problems: (feral)

[personal profile] 99problems 2024-07-18 03:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, both works! We can see which sticks better or just go whole ham in two separate places. I am on a Thief Kick presently so that works fine for me. (TKB himself probably doesn't know what exactly he is to Ryou. What is "sharing space and time with someone who isn't a screaming murderghost or half your soul"? HE DUNNO)

Do you want to try some threads on memes to see if our RP styles click first, or set up scenarios in a musebox, etc?

...also depending how interested in Ancient Egypt Headcanon you are I can incorporate a whole bunch of like. Kul Elna stuff. Since it was known as the "village of thieves" I figure they had enough of a tomb-robbing economy going that baby Bakura would have been steeped in that lifestyle even before The Incident, and afterwards, that background compounded his pride in his profession. (In actual Egypt the most effective method of stopping a tomb robber was to set up the door to shut behind them, l...lol....so for example sometimes I'll have Bakura use "the tomb shuts behind you!" as an insult to someone's intelligence/aptitude, etc.)
destinedhost: (17)

[personal profile] destinedhost 2024-07-18 04:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Holy shit Ancient Egypt Headcanon yes please. I love this kind of shit you have n o idea. I'm a history/folklore nerd on the whole so that kind of worldbuilding makes my l i f e.

We can hop in a musebox, I think? My style is always malleable to my RP partner's and I'm extremely flexible!

mostly just offering sylvain here. no preference on the timeskip!

in terms of other cast mates, all would be a hilariously fun time. obviously a very soft spot for felix.

i’m still getting a grasp of his voice so i would prefer canon settings, but im open to aus with discussion! ♥

HOUSE OF HADES (FOURTH WALL EVENT)

[personal profile] amanimods 2024-07-18 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
House of Hades
(Fourth Wall Event)
T

hroughout history, there are many a tale of death, life, and the ways they are inexplicably intertwined. This is, as expected, one such story that will unravel... Wait just a minute- You're not supposed to be here, are you? How did you get in this tale?

"Welcome to the House of Hades!" you will be greeted cheerfully as you awake in and escape a river of blood. "Oh, hey... I've never seen a shade like you before! Ha. That's kind of neat. Well, take a number and get in line! Hades will-" The sentence is interrupted by a large yawn. "-deal with you shortly." Before you can ask any questions, the greeter appears to be fast asleep. Well, best do as your told and try to figure out what in the underworld is going on.


Welcome to Amani's fourth wall event inspired by the game Hades! Characters can fight their way through the underworld to help save this reality from becoming a dead end. ... Or they can just go fishing, nap with Hypnos, or pet the best three-headed boy Cerberus. It's up to you what you want to do within the wonderful underworld.

hurray! \o/ Do you prefer to plot things out like, here? or on discord or plurk? :O And did you have any starting ideas? I actually have not done a proper psl in ages, lol.

(also I feel like I should mention I *am* playing manga/DSoD-RS, despite the anime icons; he just has more expressions available in anime-icons, meanwhile manga-RS is easier to review and has a slightly different dynamic, what with not being able to teleport himself back to his host whenever and instead being reliant on Ryou going "oh wow, I'm missing a lot of time and got stabbed at some point, and the last thing I remember is being attacked by a dragon while the Spirit laughed maniacally... I better find my Ring and put it back on! :)" like sir,)

I'm only familiar with Person of Interest through rp osmosis, but I've osmosed enough to know that Root wouldn't ask too many questions when asked to hide a body so absolutely, I am 100% up for firing up a meme and seeing how these two do!

I'm also 100% up for shoving Claudia forward a few decades and modern AUing her! I don't have her up on any memes rn, but if there's one you want, I don't mind writing up a starter (or you writing up one, I'm flexible af)
99problems: (h-hahahahahaha)

[personal profile] 99problems 2024-07-18 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Excellent! YGO in particular has all these neat thematic moments where it gets things so right (what Atem would internalize as someone who grew up Responsible For The Realm but also Told He's Qualified To Judge Others; what TKB would be like after deliberately crafting himself into the opposite)....and then card-game-adjacent things happen. But it's the mess that's fun.

Musebox works for me. I have one and can put up some starters if you'd like, or we can use anything you've got set up if you have ideas for First Posts. And if you have Plurk we can talk more there at [plurk.com profile] gibberditz!

I'm looking forward to this. /thief puts his grubby hands all over mister king's favorite people, wonders why and how he is experiencing An Emotion

[personal profile] destinedhost 2024-07-18 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Hhhhhhhh yessss! That mess is so fascinating to me; it's what got me so invested to begin with, really.

Ahh, plurk. I made a new one since my old one hasn't been touched in years.

I will be adding you in just a sec!
