July EMP Meme
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. |

Hurt/comfort after the ending of s1? Hurt/comfort after however things work out at the end of s3? Aziraphale in Heaven trying to stop this latest horror in s3 and he sees that Crowley's in trouble and he rushes to him?
(For the record, I think there's genuineness and manipulation in there in canon. I feel like Aziraphale genuinely thinks he can Do Something To Help if he goes back, but he was strongly manipulated into going back right *now*, instead of talking it through with Crowley and letting himself have a proper emotional reaction to Crowley's emotions. I think it's unlikely that the Metatron actually controlled his mind completely - though if you're interested I'm totally up for a thread where that DID happen lol.
I think both Crowley and Aziraphale have good points. Aziraphale needs to focus more on being us. Crowley needs to focus more on protecting humanity and Earth so there can BE an us. But the way it happened, I have sooo much sympathy for poor Crowley making his confession at THAT point.
Anyway, lol.)
I apologise for the part blue, part green deer.

I too agree that the Metatron is a brilliant manipulator and that no further shenanigans re coffee/timestop/bodyswitch/whatever theory is required to explain Aziraphale's choice to return to Heaven, honestly it makes perfect sense to me that he did. And yep, they're both right and both wrong and both were entirely 100% truthful in that scene. Honestly I feel as though any other option would lessen the impact of it. So yep, entirely with you there and have written the fanfics and tumblr essays to prove it don't get me started I'll go on enough for a whole herd of bluegreen deer. ;)
Also help I want all those threads. All of them.
no subject
Yeahhhhh. I read about it before watching, because I'm usually up for a spoiler and I'd seen enough hints to worry that I'd NEED the spoilers. I thought, based on what I'd read, that Aziraphale was much harsher and meaner than he actually is. Crowley has every right to feel devastated about what happened, but it was more that Aziraphale froze, only just began to respond to the kiss, and didn't say the right things. It wasn't that Aziraphale sneered at him, said all the wrong things, and left.
Lmao I need to go immerse myself in more of your lovely stuff! I've read some great fics with some awesome ideas in 'em; yours and others.
Oh NO so do I!!
no subject
.....hoooo boy yeah now I'm teal deering. Ahem.
Anyway yes, all the threads, alllll of them. I have a musebox over at faemused.dreamwidth.org, honestly if you ever have a starter you want to play just throw it there and I will answer with enthusiasm! Is there anything we're not doing atm you'd like to play with?
no subject
Yeah, realistically speaking, sometimes people learn a thing and learn it fully and completely. Sometimes people learn a bit of a thing but don't understand it in another context, or fall back on old patterns when especially stressed. It sucks! Oh boy does it sucks! But it happens. YES I hated the cruelty in suggesting to Crowley EXACTLY THE WRONG THING for Crowley's sake, but it was so obviously not meant to hurt. Aziraphale so obviously wanted them to be together.
I hear you and agree. It's painful but they need that shaking apart stuff so they can come back together properly.
Ooh! I'll go subscribe, will do, and thank you! Please lmk if you come up with anything else you'd like to play with, too.
no subject
As for right now I could go for some more post s2 or mid S3 angst! Do you want something with or without smut, I can't remember
no subject
I love that! I love some smut but like most people (XD) I don't require it. Hm, smut ideas would include a painful reunion where they know they're gonna have to separate again, a desperate reunion where one or both genuinely thought the other was dead, a painful reunion where they actually talk and finally find common ground then they gently, lovingly lead each other to a bedroom, insert other ideas here, profit???
no subject
So hmmmmmmmm...damn once again I Want It All And I Want It Now, thank you Freddie Mercury...post s2 frustrated they were trying to stay away from each other but just can't meetups maybe, leading to a "oh shit you idiot I thought you were dead" one eventually?
no subject
ABSOLUTELY let's do it. Do you wanna set something up somewhere? I am good either wayyyy.
