August 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.

Why hello there Mish ♥

I'll definitely check it out. Moroha's cannon point left off on a ship so its funny to drop her back onto one.

♥ Oh I know you better than you think I do.

But thank you for the warm poking. You're always so kind. I'm actually surprised you poked me here.
I'd be dishonest if I didn't admit I was already looking at the TDM coming up. Just debating who to toss at it while also tossing out a fishing line in general to see what else is out there ya know.

Apologies for the belated reply (my week at work was a bit hectic!)—

Warden Alistair is quite well and good with me. I'm actually just about to replay Awakening (just about done with base game), so your timing couldn't be more perfect as I refresh myself. I think Amell and Alistair doing things hero things, being their best warden selves sounds fabulous.

If you tell me about some of your favourite memes that get posted (or feel free to DM them to me as you see them), I would be very happy to hit one up and write you something.

I'm happy to throw him at you. Have something in mind?

Many apologies for my delay in getting back to you (work ended up being a priority this week)—

Leliana or your warden are perfectly fine with me. I do intend to play Inquisition at some point, so that's on my to-do list. Your warden's default world state looks good to me, too.

If you want to reply here or DM me with memes that really catch your eye, I'm happy to pick one and write something up, depending on who you feel more inspired to play.

GOOD QUESTION. i'm open to a lot of different stuff with them, i really like the whole 'jim comparing himself to his alternate self (probably negatively) while spock prime takes the time to learn the differences' concept, but like i said i'm open to most things.
1701cmo: (Default)

[personal profile] 1701cmo 2024-08-16 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I can definitely work with that.

[personal profile] negativechill 2024-08-16 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
awesome! i've been scanning through memes for potential ones, but if you had something particular in mind for setting with that concept in mind i'm good for it. i also don't mind doing the starter in a little bit if you'd like to put him somewhere in particular, i can work with whatever theming you put him on or it can just be an 'open post in the journal' thing if nothing memewise works.
1701cmo: (Default)

[personal profile] 1701cmo 2024-08-16 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I would love it if you did a starter. That'll give me a chance to see what you have in mind for tone and setting. Meme or journal works. Either is fine.

masters of the air - brady/crosby, brady/hambone, m/m 1940s crosscanon

[personal profile] bellylanding 2024-08-17 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Where]: psl, but i'm definitely open to throwing him into a game!
[who I play]: john brady | masters of the air
[wanted]:
- harry crosby
- howard "hambone" hamilton
- other 20something men who could be fit into a WWII setting - john tends to go for quieter men, but i'm still sort of figuring out his type, other than "men who won't call him out on his delusion that this is just '''situational homosexuality''' and not sincere attraction to/preference for men" lmfao.

[why]:
with croz: this ship is woefully underappreciated which is tragic because i feel like they're deeply compatible people! i'm down for any era, including postwar, but i'm especially interested in playing out the lead-in period to a relationship/""courtship"" phase/"does he or doesn't he like me" with plenty of URT/UST while they're stuck being around each other all the time and flying together. dying to play brady harboring a little crush on his navigator and NOTTT knowing how to handle those feelings or what he ideally would like to see come from them, and generally just having no experience with men and struggling to send clear signals that he's interested because of his tendency to self-contradict because he doesn't want to be seen as too soft.

i'd also love to play the relationship getting increasingly serious as john's still telling himself it's "just sex", doesn't mean anything, etc while being lowkey in love with him, the added tension of crosby's marriage to jean, the stress that comes from crosby being (relatively) safe on the ground while having a significant other who goes out and flies and just having to wait to see if he comes back, all of it. very much also up for softer things in which croz does file for divorce and ends up coming home to rochester with him and they start establishing a little life together, with any amount of stalag recovery angst thrown in.

with hambone: i'm potentially down for during-war shenans, but i find them most compelling (and think they grow closer) during the stalag era. interested in emotionally heavy threads in which they sort of lean on each other to get through the psychologically and physically demanding experience of being in a POW camp, seeking out affection and human closeness and comfort in the other, etc etc. my dream thread for them is brady tending to his facial wounds on the daily in the early stalag days with a focus on like, the tenderness of that, and the intimacy in it being his face, ham's feelings about now having to live with facial disfigurement at the same time brady is really starting to study him up close and realizing he's actually very handsome, etc. with how well his wound scarred, it's pretty clear that someone was taking very good, consistent care of it.

crosscanon: i'm looking to play john in his own era, against characters from that time or AU'd into a 1940s WWII setting - not even necessarily as pilots/flight crew given that most of his time is spent on the ground at the thorpe abbotts air base in england and there are a number of ways he could encounter civilians or auxiliary servicemembers. only interested in shipping him against 100% regular, non-fantasy/superpowered sorts of folks, or characters AU'd to be such. my ideal dynamic would be something in which a mutually exclusive sexual situationship meant to ~blow off steam during a war~ or ~address physical needs~ or whatever starts turning into genuine feelings that aren't so easy to rationalize away, or something in which the other party is his copilot or another member of the flight crew and he's harboring an agonizing crush on him and doesn't know how to deal with that and the UST just spirals until it hits critical mass, after which point they have to sort of decide what they want to be and go through a whole NEW type of awkwardness.

[game/psl info]: most of it is sort of blended in with the why up above! in addition to heavily plot-based threads i'm down for smut (esp when there's a narrative thread running through it) and have a kinklist/some sexual prefs of his tossed up here, though it bears mentioning that even in FWB style threads i'm fine with FTB and if it's fairly unremarkable, routine sex without an interesting plot element or some sort of kink scenario or setup i prefer FTB just to keep things moving.

If ya like dark fantasy, you'll love FromSoft! If you don't like hard games, LPs and wiki dives are just as well.

Sister Friede is kinda... well, she shouldn't be in any kind of position of power tbh, she manipulated the whole Ariandel thing. She's from what amounts to a ghetto for Undead, and she led a church of murderers and assassins trying to dethrone their gods for a while. I know stuff in AoT is bad, but I don't think it's that dire yet, lol.

Though, with humans being considered a pygmy race in Dark Souls, she is used to things significantly larger than her, and the art of murdering them.

Yharnam on the other hand is... werewolves, but make it Lovecraft. And also Lovecraft, but make it Lovecraft. Maria at least is also the scion of a noble family - kind of a fallen noble family since the Healing Church took over the area. So there's that kind of excuse for why they could meet somehow?

And uh... gosh all the memes are so ship-heavy and that's ambiguously bad for Friede, but I do see Denny's! Or I suppose one of those question-y memes. Anything look interesting on your end?

Hello! This is still OP, just on my Julian journal.

I'd love to do something with him and Garak if you'd like! I'm on a BIT of a backlog of tags right now but was planning on tossing him on some memes once I clear my inbox up a little more.

Or if any of the ideas from my linked list interest you we could work on something from there?

[personal profile] dreamaturgy 2024-08-17 01:21 pm (UTC)(link)
oooooh yes hello! i'm decently familiar with your canon but also it feels like i've already forgotten everything ever since i watched the second season lmao. i'm just imagining dream hands on hips screaming at lanfear to get off his lawn, to no avail. the life of a dream lord is hard ok.

but yes we should absolutely meme it out and see where it goes??

Oh my goodness I'm so sorry I thought you were a friend of mine! It's essentially about your character getting recruited into teams by a somewhat shady company to fight Kaiju

Quite alright. We're mostly all grownups here and even when I wasn't a grownup I still understood how busy IRL could be.

I keep meaning to do yet another canon run through, but I'd have to re-install things and I never seem to install the Denerim memory leak fixes right and so it always crashes there, and it's just a pain.

I've dug back through 3 pages of memes and none of them felt quite right. Then again most of them are romance focused, and while that's her canon route so it's not that I have any objections, but I figured we'd want something more... gen-ish to start with. A random mystery to solve or something. Not quite "Why are the elves and werewolves fight?" levels or even the DLC levels, but somewhere adjacent to it. Or something. A little action, a lot of quipping, and hopefully no swamps. (Why are there always undead things in the swamps???) that sort of thing.
