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.

OC for mentoring scenarios, antagonism, world-hopping, and shipping...?

[tiandi]

OFFERING:

Jingyi Sun - this account or her younger alt (wulin). I have a lot of OCs, but I'm sticking to this one right now. She's a work-in-progress and I'm looking to test her out and see what else I can add or subtract to her character. So if you'd humor me in beta-testing her, my life is yours.

SEEKING:

Mentoring - Looking to play Jingyi as the mentor for martial arts or magic usage, but her younger self is available as the student. That said, Jingyi's adult self being the student also works, if the subjectis something outside of her expertise as a super soldier. Now that she's out of prison, she's getting more chances to learn about the world. I'd love to play her learning to be more human. We can go with a "surviving together" route where Jingyi and her apprentice go on a journey together while her apprentice learns from her, or a more classroom setting with Jingyi having her own martial/magical arts school. Complete AU where she's a regular school teacher also works, she'd be an art teacher.

Antagonist - Jingyi is an antagonist in her verse, so if you're looking to play a scenario where your character gets to be the hero, or your villain needs a hero to fight, Jingyi here is available to oppose them. If you want to do away with the hero and villain label and just have her not get along with your character, that's also good with me too. Enemies to friends/lovers is one of my weaknesses.

World-Hopping - Jingyi eventually learns of a way to leave her home universe to start fresh in another world, or find worlds who could use her help. We can have her lose her powers during the process, or have them remain intact. She can go to your characters' world or we can build a new one together. I'd just love to have her explore different eras, cultures, and technology levels. Especially love for her to interact with Chinese-themed anime video game characters, like Xianzhou characters from Star Rail, Liyue from Genshin, and Huanglong from WuWa for example; she'd feel at home with them. But she's also from a multicultural space-aged civilization, so she'll fit in almost everywhere fine. Hey as long as there's good wine or tea, she's golden.

Shipping - She's admittedly a tough one for this, but it's possible! This isn't necessary to include, but I'm putting it here anyway. So it's one the table if our characters gel really well. She's more female-leaning, but I'm open to het too. She's also leans into more toxic, friends-with-benefits kind of relationship but a healthy, loving relationship is also possible for her. Whichever you think works or whichever you prefer.

OTHER:

Please DM me if you're interested. I'm a regular on Bakerstreet so feel free to just hit me up there too! I'd probably prefer that just to see if our styles are compatible first before we launch a PSL.

I'm pretty open to ideas, so if you have yours that you want to play, I'd be down to include that with the ones I mentioned above. I'm mostly just looking to test her out further.

I'm normally in PST, but I'm currently in EST for the time being and I'm not sure when I'll be back to my default timezone. I'm a slow tagger too, but I can continue a storyline as long as interest lasts.
