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.

genshin, lads, vadtd, dmc5

offering.
nero, devil may cry 5.
alhaitham, genshin impact.
kaeya alberich, genshin impact.
rafayel, love and deepspace.
sylus, love and deepspace.
callisto regulus, villains are destined to die.

seeking.
- as a blanket statement, i am all for canon or cross canon. i think it's a real delight to learn about another canon through cross canon, so we can definitely cook something up together.👨‍🍳 that's half the fun anyway!

- for alhaitham, i am looking for pretty much anyone in the sumeru crew. i think it could be really fun to write out an au together and mix and match ideas.

- for rafayel, sylus, & callisto, i am just embarrassed, but i am down for anything. i think exploring the potential relationships between the cast themselves could be cool, or we could figure out some cross canon situations together. to be honest, i love cross canon a lot, so i am open to anything as long as we jive writing-wise.

- as for scenarios - i tend to like darker shipping elements, but i am pretty flexible. i think a toxic codependency dynamic could be fun, and i can also offer some yandere/obsession scenarios if that's also your jam. i am eyes emojis when it comes to writing aus together and figuring out what works for specific character dynamics. i don't want to scare anyone off with dumping my whole list here, but i am also okay for smut, shipping, or even general cr.

- if any of this seems like your jam, please hit me up with a comment or through pm.

Darker shipping? Toxic codependency? Yandere and obsessive elements? Where have you been my entire life?

I only have this old and anxious goddess to offer, but I'd absolutely love to cook up a scenario that involves all of those things.
uncourteous: (pic#16033143)

[personal profile] uncourteous 2024-08-12 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
bless you for being right here with me... i am a simple creature.

please!! i love said anxious goddess and would be delighted to come up with something together. we can definitely add in that toxic codependency and obsession in there for sure. i feel like a handful of the characters on my roster can fulfill this, but we can also go with calli and eresh if they're easiest, and... even if they also just make me laugh.

an au where they also start anew so calli hasn't offed her sims family yet...

[personal profile] queenofkur 2024-08-13 12:43 pm (UTC)(link)
the "bullying to romance" pipeline is real...

I love calli, I can't say no. I'm okay with an AU where they start clean or somehow sim-icide led to feelings appearing.

"can love bloom in a game of The Sims 4?"

I will hit you up on plurk to make this more convenient...!

i saw lads and vadtd..... i have journals for no one, but would shamelessly play lit anyone if you have a particular itch for a dynamic

would you take a xavier or zayne, or even rafayel or sylus for the vice to your versa? eckles or penelope?? tbh if you want to gauge writing style, i can throw raeli at calli and we can watch them cat fight to gauge how writing meshes...

yes, i'm thirsty and yes, i'm desperate 😩 judge me, i'd agree w you
uncourteous: (pic#17299231)

[personal profile] uncourteous 2024-08-12 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
oh nooooo this is me too... 🤝 i understand this thirst on such a deep level. they're rare...

i would 100% take xavier or zayne if that's yours mains!! i always thought that zayne and rafayel would be such a funny dynamic, or any of them tbh (why is this just us playing the entire cast between the two of us). i am one of those insane people who have been crying for more cast interactions for forever, so!!! i also see you're speaking my language because i love both eckles and penelope, so i am also down for either. i am one of those defenders who complain about how no one respects a good yandere anymore, so it cracks me up that you offered eckles. who knew the webtoon comments section is not the vibe sometimes...

but, that sounds good! we can do raeli and calli... raellisto-calliana first and see how it goes!

[personal profile] forebore 2024-08-12 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
same hat 🎩 tbh

and will do! icons may take a hot minute, but all i need is the will (have that) and the ability to curb my enthusiasm (questionable) bc i Would play the whole cast between the two of us,,, incredible. i have journals made... sorry if this turns out to be a job interview that i fail miserably at at the screening level if my writing is not your cup of tea 😔

that said! do you have a tl for calli anywhere? i will happily drop a starter w raeli to do with what you will

text for dialogue? do you do yandere plotlines for first threads?? political intrigue?? do i have permission to put calli through an intricate assassination plotline that would just be another day ending in -y for him or should i chill

[personal profile] uncourteous 2024-08-13 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
take your time with the icons!! if you ever need any, please let me know too. i am one of those people who redo my icons periodically, so if you ever need vadtd icons, i'm here. ready to sinfully provide. also stop this!?! i am sure you are more than fine!! truthfully, i do not know what i am doing half the time, but surely our collective desires will fuel us...!!

i didn't bc i am a fool, but i did create this post for us now. wherein, i am trying to seem so normal. but, i am 100% okay with yandere plot lines/established cr, and as many assassination plotlines as our webtoons can allow for. please feel free to go wild, and i will be here... to match the general freak. the freak we share...

[personal profile] uncourteous 2024-08-13 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
or if you have a tl ... i realize, i could have tagged you. not me and my slow thinking...

[personal profile] lumiere 2024-08-13 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
you are too kind and i will try not impose upon your good graces unless my photoshop (in)ability somehow harshes on our collective mellow!! ty...

as well as thank you for opening a post on your journal! i don't have tls anywhere recent... mostly because i tend to like inflicting people unsuspectingly, so i apologize beforehand that my freak may be unmatched as demonstrated from the no fewer than 3 different journals i have messaged you with.

also forgive slowness around my own work schedule and time zone (i do backtag an obscene amount at least until i get embarrassed) and again, no oblig ofc if there's no interest 🙂‍↕️ but thank u again for indulging my thirst! and preemptive apologies for my incoming starter...
uncourteous: (pic#17299216)

[personal profile] uncourteous 2024-08-13 10:50 am (UTC)(link)
your icons already look beautiful, so i believe...

you say this, but i have only just spared you a few journals, but they are here. closes eyes. but, no worries! take your time. i also work and am from a really awkward timezone, so thank you for my life for accepting backtags. ... and please!!! thank you again as well. i was so shy about being on emp, so bless your heart. 🥺

you say this before i edit memes and photos and look insane all on my own, but!!

[personal profile] displeases 2024-08-14 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
i really do hate this bit where i gotta act normal in front of strangers so thank you for the meme, queen (king, monarch) i'm glad this opens all opportunity to abuse photoshop when i finally have the guts to gag tag while i take 5ever to tag back smth proper

likewise!! ty for posting... pls forgive my incredible timing as work picks up and i take til this weekend to make icons... pls never feel pressed to match tag length, i'm just a freak... i rly could just slide into ur dms but if i don't make an ass of myself in public, it wouldn't be v honest of who i am as a person

once i have icons, i'll slap a starter into a journal and then we run train 🤝
uncourteous: (pic#16033142)

[personal profile] uncourteous 2024-08-14 11:46 am (UTC)(link)
this is also me... (in)conveniently forgetting how to be normal. but, i got you!! i am glad we both can laugh over this at least 🥺 i am in good company i see...

no!!! you're good! i also tend to write a lot, especially to set the mood or the vibe, so i tot. get you. but, eheh, you're always welcome into my dms! slides into your pms first...

🤝 i will await you this weekend, which also gives me time to make icons too
