September 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.

Fate Stay Night, Fate Grand Order

[morninglark]

OFFERING:

Oberon morninglark;
Sakura Matou imaginex

SEEKING::
Oberon:

→ character exploration! Themes including being chained to an unfortunate fate/duty, acting in defiance of that fate, the hunt for true love, assuming the role of the “Bad Guy” out of love, etc.

→ Castmates, crosscanon, ocs all welcome! I can easily AU Oberon into most settings, too. Especially enjoy non-human entities, but that’s just a bonus, not a necessity.

→ Gen is adored, he’s great for found family tropes. I also enjoy me a good silly thread with a bit of action thrown in. Think indiana jones vibes.

→ f/m, m/m, m/* shipping is on the table, he’ll just be a difficult asshole about it, even if that’s exactly what he wants. Bonus points to anyone who can deal with his crazy or anyone who wants to escape him, too. Would love to explore him as an unhinged lover who is resisting the urge to just murder everyone on sight to keep his Titania to himself. The most stable boyfriend.

→ PSL ideas: arranged marriage (bonus if there’s a frenemies to lovers aspect), fae court (sky’s the limit on this one, let him be an unhinged fae king), Lostbelt 6 AUs (I am more than happy to give anyone a rundown on this if they’re interested), AUs where characters are stuck in a dream and need Oberon’s assistance to escape (or maybe he’s the bitch who put them in there); Howl’s Moving Castle AU (there’s so much fanart of this bitch cosplaying as Howl).

→ I am on the hunt for my white whale ship of Sakura Matou/Oberon, I’m willing to play either of these characters, someone make my dreams come true.

Sakura:

→ character exploration via navigating the terrible circumstances of her life and finding ways to cope; dark Sakura shenanigans; rping the fallout of a Heaven’s Feel-ish timeline where she deals with intense survivor’s guilt; her seeking ways to live and how to balance that against her anger and frustration with the world.

→ canonmates, crosscanon, ocs all loved and welcome! Would especially love a Ritsuka from FGO (FGO AU anyone?), any Master/Servant combo, and… anyone, really. Just tossing out potential ideas!

→ I adore found family with her, especially big brother/sister types. Friendship gen is good, too!

→ For shipping, I prefer anti-hero types – those who will love her but not necessarily set her on the heroic path. People who are gonna stan her if she sets the world aflame. Also looking to do more f/f! Never got the chance and I think she’d trip over her feet if a butch/futch so much as winked at her.

→ Not really into conventional “hero” types who are just gonna rescue her from her fate; dating Sakura is messy and that’s what I like to explore.

→ PSL ideas: Holy Grail War, naturally (if we can’t come up with an AU where the timeline needs to be pruned, we’ve done it wrong); arranged marriage (she’d be a needy wife with terrible self-worth); FGO AUs (make her another Master who has to grapple with how much she doesn’t want things to go back to “normal”); soul mates (she would not be normal about realizing she has a fated lover and wanting to protect them from her life)

OTHER:

→ I'm PST, work fulltime, will sometimes go a week or so without tags because my job is exhausting. As long as we communicate and set expectations, though, I can backtag forever.

→ DM first, but if we click and get the ball rolling on a psl, will give out my discord

→ Happy to restart any shelved threads that got lost to the sands of time, I’ve finally escaped grad school and my board exam. just let me know who are you and what psl we had going

[crisantemo]

if you're cool with ocs i can offer this lady for oberon, who is a baby eldtrich in the making? it's a very much grappling with her humanity situation/place in the world situation with her

her family are very much the time to arrange things based on power and all that, so could fit in your arranged marriage idea? or fae court since i do have a changeling au for her made up too-

[morninglark]

If you’re cool with it, I’d love to explore a fae court AU! Much as I eat up arranged marriage, still wanna scratch the itch of bastardizing Oberon’s backstory into fairy shenanigans.

But yes, I am absolutely down to start something! OCs are loved and welcomed.

[knightedking]

hi :') would you be up for us taking another run at picking up their absolute mess sometime?

[morninglark]

Oh gosh, The Thread. The one that’s still stretched my cmo page to hell rofl

Yes, I’d absolutely be down to continue!

[knightedking]

I apologise for nothing except hitting you up here and then immediately getting sick, awesome stuff there 🥲

Anyways, I'll come harass you on disco and we'll get this train rolling again!

[lasthungrywolf]

Any interest in taking a swing at something either shippy or at least intimate between Sakura and Tetsuo here? He's a little too pure to really call him an antihero, but he's also way to iconoclastic and rough-edged to call him heroic by most people's standards. He's definitely of the "ready to personally fistfight the world for people he cares about" type; he'd try to nudge her away from being actually evil, but still having her back, and largely for her own sake. He also doesn't really have the education or resources to do a traditional Savior kind of role--at best, he can try to be a positive, healing presence for her, while being angsty over the things he can't just magically fix for her. Can definitely include him being a bad influence in an "encouraging her to be a biker chick and breaking laws and taking revenge on those who deserve it" way, instead of a "destroy everything and make lots of innocent bystanders suffer" way.
