July EMP Meme

[enablemeplz]

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. 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.

Comments

OCs - For found family, mentor-student, world-hopping, sci-fi and fantasy crossover, etc.

[kratistos]

OFFERING:

Sofia Sinclair (this journal)

Bea Sinclair (thunrian)

EDIT: Ayame (zenoh) and Iris (resonantia) are also available as an alternative mom-daughter pair. I can play the listed scenarios below with them, but Ayame and Iris are generally more OTA gender-wise, and better suited for shipping/smut.

SEEKING:

Found Family: Sofia for the parental/aunt or sibling role for other adults 25 and up, and Bea for the child or sibling role with other teens/young adults. They both travel around, meet people, and form groups that come and go. Having them join a team or party and getting to know the people in it, forming bonds and being accepted into their inner circles. Silly shipping option with Sofia being a single parent then Bea shipping her mom with another adult, or Sofia being a proud mom that Bea had found someone. We can go a lot of ways with this, so lets hash out the details.

Mentor-Student: Commander-Subordinate as an alternative works as well Sofia is better suited for the mentor/commander role, and Bea for the student/subordinate. Can go with the above trope, and can also go a lot of ways so lets hash out the details.

World-Hopping: Part of their jobs is exploring anomalies, which we can say lead them to another universe entirely. Having Sofia and/or Bea be dropped in your characters home world is the most likely scenario, or we can play around in a jamjar setting or have our characters both end up in a different world together. I can adjust their power levels to match the setting as well.

Sci-fi and Fantasy Crossover: Related to the above trope. Both Sofia and Bea are essentially robotic/synthetic beings, so they'll be bringing high-tech to any fantasy setting just by being themselves. But Sofia's armor abilities can be construed as magic, and Bea does wield a magical hammer. Their armor can morph into clothes that matches the setting they're in, but fantasy characters reacting to their gizmos and them reacting to ancient/pre-modern things is always fun.

Bring your own! I'm pretty open to a lot of scenario ideas, so feel free to add things if you feel like it can work.

OTHERS:

I'm PST and generally a slow tagger. Admittedly it can get ridiculous with how long it takes before I can reply, but I will continue it as long as interest last. So if that's not a deal-breaker to you, we can rock n' roll. One-off memes are fine too, see how well we mesh first.

I generally lean F/F with these two. But we can play non-shipping if you want to play a guy against them to see how they work. If there's chemistry, then I'm fine with shipping F/M.

Medium-wise, I lean towards drawn/animated mediums like animanga and video games out of comfort/familiarity. If you have a character that doesn't fit those labels, still let me know. I'm willing to play with other mediums.

Hit me up in a PM, or message me in plurk at slevins

[mayitlastforeve]

I think I spitballed this a little on one of your plurks but I do liek the idea of Iris taking Naal on a journey and showing her... well, anything more pleasant than home, whether it's nerd culture or the nightlife or something more bucolic.

Could also be a world-hopping scenario where Naal fell through a hole or whatever.

[resonantia]

Yeah, I remember that. Naal in the human world sounds hella, and them going to a nerdy convention was the first thought I had for them. Naal can just be herself since dark elves are a thing in Iris' home planet.

[mayitlastforeve]

The convention idea sounds fun! As long as you're up for going through a loooot of Naal culture shock. We could set it maybe a month or two after they meet so it's not all 'what's a car' but there's still plenty that's new. The idea of Ayame being around to Ship It could be fun too.
