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:

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.

Star Wars @ Etraya

[personal profile] shabuir 2024-07-14 11:55 am (UTC)(link)
[game]: Etraya
[fandom]: Star Wars
[game's current cast]: Boba Fett, Anakin Skywalker, Padme Amidala, Mal Durrish (OC)
[who I play]: Boba Fett (specifically from his Legends timeline)
[wanted]: Anyone and everyone Star Wars! Some faves of mine would be anyone from the OT crew (Leia, Han, Luke, you name it) or from The Mandalorian TV series (Din, Bo-Katan, Cobb Vanth, Mayfeld, etc). Also, I know it's a long-shot, but any other Expanded Universe characters (esp any hailing from the Legacy of the Force series of novels) would be amazing!
[game info]: Etraya takes place in a temporary city at the center of the collapsing multiverse, where characters are brought by the mysterious Echo to prove that their universe is one of the few that should be saved from destruction. To assist in Echo's judgment, characters are regularly deployed on missions "meant to test their courage, strength of will, capability for love, compassion, desire, and other traits." Only those deemed worthy will have their universes spared from the coming calamity.

There are no AC requirements, though activity logs can be exchanged for points which can purchase in-game rewards. The current TDM is here.

Hello!! Yes, gosh, I would love to toss these two together and see what happens. I am also in the middle of a replay right now after many years and it's making me feral.

Would you rather poke around on memes or we can figure out something privately too?

Singillatim might be up your alley! It's a survival-horror game set in the far North in Canada. Characters deal with physical stresses (cold, lack of resources) along with the psychological effects of being stuck in an apocalyptic landscape and tormented by a supernatural presence called the Darkwalker, which also occasionally shows up to devour people.

For example, June's event saw the Darkwalker plunge the whole game into a frenzy of violence, and now characters are dealing with the ramifications of the actions they took. I'm not sure how character actions affect the overall plot, but they've definitely had consequences on parts of events and, of course, IC with other characters. Character powers are nerfed, but it's possible to gain in-game powers during some events.

I play Wynonna Earp and Benton Fraser there and have been having a great time since November! The current TDM has been up since April (we skipped the June TDM) but people are still writing on it, and the next should be up in August.

told you I'd hit you up with Sharon

I've done a Sharon-Bucky on the run psl before and loved it, so I'd be happy to do something set post-tws or cw, before she winds up in Madripoor (or perhaps instead of her winding up in Madripoor).

One day I will try Robb or Jon but in the meantime I have Caspian of Narnia, who might be good for an arranged marriage au. I have also always wanted to slam The Witcher and GOT together and would like to float a Queen in the North post-series thing with Geralt (I play him from the game/books) if you'd be down!

I think Veilguard has us all feral and we're just like you know what could pass the time ... Though I'm absolutely not happy about being back in the Hinterlands again, please it takes so long.

I've just found you on Sunday texting so I can hit you up there if you'd like? Something easy as I'm out and about this afternoon and then we could pm if we want to do more! Does that work?

I think we kinda lost each other in the last meme, my bad. I have this guy in [community profile] lastvoyages and it ticks most of your boxes. Mediumish, picks up a lot of speed during events but lots of people play catch up over the next weeks, light on metaplot but heavy on events and character arcs. The premise is about redeeming villains and helping them do that, so, uh, depending on canonpoint and angle, WWX could definitely be on either side of that divide. We currently have a (redeemed) Xue Yang and Song Lan around, too, so a shallow pool of castmates.

supernatural (+ cross-canon)

[personal profile] magike 2024-07-14 01:41 pm (UTC)(link)
OFFERING.
👑 rowena macleod
SEEKING.
★ canon: anyone!! people that rowena already knows are delightful, diving into things in between scenes or episodes. maybe kicking back after helping the boys with a case, chatting, bonding, drinks? for people that rowena's never met before: time travel shenanigans, putting them in the same place, au, anything.
★ cross-canon: things with magical/supernatural vibes obviously blend well, though maybe rowena's keeping the magic on the dl and just being an annoying little thorn in a very human world. this can also be present day or at some point in the past given her age (and magic to time-travel)
PREFERENCES.
★ i'm in gmt. sometimes i get tags daily, sometimes every few days.
★ open to psl and memes. we can feel out vibes with a text meme or hit up something themed.
★ shipping: the slowest of slow-burns for actual relationships, though she's open to casual things. f/f and m/f, etc etc. 30+ really. smut is also good!
★ ty for reading ♥

MY S-CLASS HUNTERS @ SINFLUENCERS

[personal profile] fclass 2024-07-14 01:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[game]: [community profile] sinfluencers
[fandom]: My S-Class Hunters
[game's current cast]: Han Yoojin, Sung Hyunjae
[who I play]: Yoojin!
[wanted]: Anyone! (But in particular, we'd love to have Yoohyun.) Still, we ain't particular, and we'd love any castmates!
[game info]: There's a couple of ads for this game in this section already, so I'm not going to get too in-depth for it, but generally: Sinfluencers is a sex-game based on social media influencers. It's not all smut all the time, thankfully, so there's plenty of room for other types of interactions and plots! The players are a great lot so far, and the mod is absolutely incredible and very engaged. AC is reasonable, and even though the game is moving along at a pretty quick clip, there's no pressure to keep up with everything or you'll miss something important.

If you have any questions, feel free to pm me, and I'll be happy to help!!

it WAS! so yes, post-cw would be great! she can either still have gone to the CIA or have gone to ground trying to hunt down HYDRA remnants, or... lots of possibilities tbh

caspain oh no

WELL he's a great option as a bodyguard-for-hire if she wants to travel somewhere without a full retinue, or maybe he shows up to warn her about monsters in the area (Geralt, where did you come from...) I'm flexible, we can brainstorm! In general he's grumpy, rough around the edges, good at fighting, and super protective, so while he might not work for a marriage au I think he and Sansa would be super interesting to bounce off each other

the bear

[personal profile] onempty 2024-07-14 02:21 pm (UTC)(link)
offering:
• carmy | the bear

seeking:
• richie
• very keen to get into something slow burn(-ish?) and character-focused with these two! there's so much to work with given the complexity of their relationship, and I am very invested in how much more complex and messy it can become. ☺︎

generally speaking, I'm open to pretty much anything, from any canon point, and truly happy to discuss it all. I think there is room for everything with this pairing, from all kinds of conflict, guilt, resentment, and anger all the way to that bittersweetness and care and love, and (the best thing, imo) to where these all tangle together. there are a lot of threads to pull on here, and it'd be fun to work with whatever aspects are most interesting to a partner and have that guide the way anything develops. I have ideas for scenes, plot points, etc. that range from something like fluff all the way to terrible angst and lots in between, so really -- anything!

in case it's helpful, though, a few slightly more specific things:

• one of my pet stepping off points for storylines is that carmy has been into richie for a long time, since he was still living at home. I would love to see this become an increasingly serious "problem" in the present, and I have a deep love for a very messy and distressed carm. he's so driven by his subconscious I think there'd be a lot to play with in terms of his getting in his own way and denying feelings and misdirecting anger at richie, while also clumsily trying to hold onto him, and craving that closeness.

• I think one of the things carmy would really respect and love about richie is that he is a very good dad, and I'd really like to do something with that at some point. maybe they can both take eva to the taylor swift concert or something (I have thought about this a lot).

• I'd ultimately love to aim for getting carm to a breaking point regarding richie. I'd love to play out an explosion, have them really fight, and see where that goes 👀

• lastly, of course, season 3 brought that simmering tension back up to boiling. if picking up from sometime in/around s3, something focused around them finding their way back to each other and kind of breaking down those walls again with a lot of difficulty would be so great. I can imagine this happening especially with some kind of forced intimacy situation outside the restaurant acting as a catalyst (family shit? they both get invited to a pre-funeral event at ever?? the nicotine gum isn't doing it anymore and carmy caves and needs to bum a cigarette??? all of these????). truly, truly open to anything here, though, and given how the season went, I’m curious about how conversations or even straight-up arguments between them might go if they weren’t having them in front of an audience for once, and where that might leave them, what it might open up, etc.


etc.:
• gmt/gmt+1
• I aim for consistency in tagging -- at least once every couple days, but this might be a bit longer during busy work periods
• prefer to sketch out some plot points beforehand, even just a little bit!
• brackets and present tense is my default, but I'm willing to adapt to whatever a partner prefers
• will backtag forever
• hmu here or via pm!

Game of Thrones/HOTD @ Sinfluencers

[personal profile] direly 2024-07-14 02:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[game]: [community profile] sinfluencers
[fandom]: Game of Thrones + House of the Dragon
[game's current cast]: Just Sansa rn 🥲 Being a lone wolf
[who I play]: Sansa Stark 🐺❄️🍁
[wanted]: Bring me everyone t b h.
All the Starks, Lannisters, Tyrells, Targs, Baratheons, and my god the Martells would be amazing here.
**I do play from the tv show so that would be the preferable canon for this cast!**
[game info]: As others in this thread have summed up before me, Sinfluencers is a game about becoming influencers via a Youtube/Only Fans-like setup (you can be sexy, crafty, silly, serious, whatever you think would work for your character!) and completing a contract your character signs up for prior to entering the game.

Sexy stuff is encouraged but not mandatory (tho it is a sex game, FTB is allowed if that's your pref), shenanigans are everywhere, and alliances are key to gaining a bigger audience, which gets your character more in-game perks and closer to their end goal. So, not completely unlike Westeros in some ways...

Learning about technology and the network is handwaved with educational classes your character is given upon arrival, but Sansa can totally help other people from her world manage that learning curve if wanted ✨

Activity check is 20 comments across 4 threads and since it's network heavy, it should be pretty easy to make that! There's also nothing stopping you from making that through logs, as well!

This game is setting itself up to be very lucrative for character-driven plots and the playerbase is incredibly creative, funny, and active! The Mod has been amazingly helpful and open to all sorts of ideas, while encouraging plenty of others! I would absolutely love to have some castmates here to do all the things with and if some want to play The Game here, I would love to see it 👑

[community profile] etraya might work! characters arrive and "are informed that they are here to prove that their universe is worthy of being saved, though how they are meant to accomplish this isn't clear." this takes place via monthly missions, and each mission so far has had a fairly heavy emphasis on teamwork, which would help with the integration of a less social character.

the pace is a little variable — event logs are active and tend to be backtagged for a long time, whilst the network is a little less active tbh. there is a plot, but it's not something that's been revealed straight away outside of broad strokes, and events have been quite tonally varied (or at least — open to being tonally varied/more or less serious depending on how you want to play them), with very receptive mods that make character involvement quite easy to date.

characters get to keep their powers as long as they're not game-breaking, and there's no perma-death in game.

i've found it a super fun, enjoyable game! in terms of characters, while there's a solid mix of canons, there's a lot of dc + marvel characters (comics + live action), and a few other non-big two superhero characters, so ava would fit in there!

there's a tdm here (they're every other month), reserves are currently open, and apps open on the 19th. there is a cap of 10 for new players each app round, as an fyi, but no total player cap.

if you have any questions, i can try and answer!

RWBY @ Pumpkin Hollow

[personal profile] littlefairytale 2024-07-14 03:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[game]: [personal profile] pumpkinhollow
[fandom]: RWBY
[game's current cast]: Just Ruby!
[who I play]: Ruby
[wanted]: Penny, Yang, Blake, Weiss, Oscar, Pyrrha, Jaune, Nora, Ren, Qrow... or literally anyone, honestly, but obviously I'd love her teams.
[game info]: Pumpkin Hollow is a horror/comedy/SoL/mystery game about a cursed island where death is impossible, residents are trapped, gods and demons are battling for control, and everyone has secrets. The setting itself is Victorian Gothic in a fantasy world. Its premise makes it fantastic for characters who died, though there's also plenty of ways to make your character fit the premise if they don't have a canonical death/near death experience, and there's plenty of opportunities to get in on the lore and help solve the mystery or change the environment. Medium-to-fast pace, but very backtag friendly and check-in AC with activity being useable for bonuses. The latest TDM is here, with plenty of stuff to do!

The TL;DR on Ruby herself is that she's from episode 8 of V9, on top of a kinda intense CRAU history that means she's down an eye but up a bunch of character development, which puts her in a strange place mentally that she's working her way through. It's easier to explain this and what other characters may know about her friends from home outside of the ad, but there's a bunch of potential CR between the wider game cast and RWBY folks that I'd love to see develop.
