September 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.

OCs, doctor who, dbh, d&d - crosscanon, aus!

[personal profile] rollforinsight 2024-09-23 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
i spent so long writing this holy shit

offering:
Rogue. Doctor Who. [personal profile] rollforinsight
15th Doctor. Doctor Who. [personal profile] ohbabes
Lucy Saxon. Doctor Who. [personal profile] essentiallyharmless (AU)
Leo Manfred. Detroit: Become Human. [personal profile] actlikeamanfred (AU??)
David Smith. a gruff empath OC. [personal profile] tiredempath
Xanthia. D&D gnome wizard lady. [personal profile] glitterbloom
full muselist but no promises

preferences:
• Canon, cross-canon and OCs, all characters welcome! Writing chemistry is what's important.
• Prose preferred, present tense. PSLs, memes, texting. I love building up long-term things across these!
• Medium-to-fast pace, minimum a few tags a week. I love boomeranging, but absolutely don't mind longer breaks, and will occasionally disappear myself.
• Shipping, intense character dynamics, hurt/comfort. Pining, smut, action, slice-of-life drama, silly texting. Love a little of everything!
• Will AU and canon-blend or do whatever. Love all kinds of settings, except maybe completely normal life. Fantasy, sci-fi, post-apocalypse, horror, western, whatever.
• Almost all of these characters are decent people, but who are struggling with mental health issues.
• Lots more info below, and suggestions for plots and things, but I'm totally open for hearing any suggestions!

Contact: Comment, PM, ask for discord!

Warnings for mentions of drug addiction and abuse.

clicky for lots more specifics and character details!
Almost all of these have detailed info on their journals!!

Rogue. Doctor Who. [personal profile] rollforinsight
A 30-something time-travelling bounty hunter, recently spent several months almost starving to death in a barren dimension. He's a loving, snarky, nerdy dude, but he's also guarded and grieving.

Love canonmates for him. OTA for shipping, including less humanoid options. Don't mind AU-ing him if I can sort of keep a similar-ish backstory, that has similar emotional effect. He can also just drop in on your canon as if it's another alien world.

15th Doctor. Doctor Who. [personal profile] ohbabes
The Doctor. Come on, you know the Doctor.

His voice is pretty shaky for me, so I honestly can't make any guarantees. I think having at least a vague plot/plan beforehand would help. I don't have any specific wants, so mostly for him I'm looking for if someone else has something they really wanna do. I think mostly m/m for shipping, but exceptions for canonmates. Will note that I am deep into nerdery for this show, love Classic and EU, and super obscure lore. I'd been talking about the basis for the Timeless Child reveal for almost a decade before it happened. Equal canon-familiarity is absolutely NOT required, just want to be clear where I stand.

Lucy Saxon. Doctor Who. [personal profile] essentiallyharmless (AU)
Upper-class English lady who married an evil megalomaniac alien who took over the world and broke her. She ended up killing him and picking up the pieces of herself. Complex, somewhat unstable, but has potential for a lot of love. Just... very messy love.

Recently had an idea for an AU where when she prevented her husband's resurrection, something went wrong and she ended up with some of his alien Time Lord traits. Particularly becoming ageless and resilient, gaining touch telepathy, as well as some of his memories. I would absolutely LOVE a Doctor for this, or any castmate. But also very open to any character who might have an interesting dynamic with her. OTA for shipping.

Leo Manfred. Detroit: Become Human. [personal profile] actlikeamanfred (AU??)
Son of a billionaire artist, 28 y.o., trans (afab), and comes with tons of parental trauma/neglect. Struggles with drug addiction, and has an abusive ex. Unhappy, often abrasive, insecurity covered by bravado. Really he just wants to be treated with respect and kindness, and for people to be interested in him as a person. Once he trusts someone, he's friendly, kind and playful.

I will AU this man into anything. Pick a setting, I'll figure out how he fits in there. Also have a vampire AU of him that I'm very attached to. OTA for shipping, and I very much love shipping for him. Anyone who can make him feel loved. And then just sprinkle in all kinds of other story aspects.

David Smith. a gruff empath OC. [personal profile] tiredempath
A gruff-looking 37 year old English man. An empath who self-isolates because he has trouble blocking it out. Works as a white-hat hacker. Gentle, loving, intelligent, lonely, patient, self-neglecting, practical, a little bit awkward. Touch-starved. Owns 7 pets. History of drug use to cope.

OTA for shipping, which I would love, but also just... anyone with whom he could form a proper connection. Specifically someone who could find out he's an empath, and the struggles involved in that. Found family, or unexpected allies, or whatever. Open to anything from slice-of-life to something more plotty/action/drama, especially if you have specific ideas. I think I'd prefer to keep him in something sort of real-world adjacent, but I'm open for other suggestions.

Xanthia Inkweaver Glitterbloom. D&D gnome wizard lady. [personal profile] glitterbloom
An opinionated and determined gnome wizard lady. Inquisitive, impulsive, highly intelligent. Kind, but rude and awkward. Will absolutely do shady things in the quest for knowledge. Specialises in chronurgy and enchantment (suggestion, detect thoughts, modify memory), as well as combat magic. Was emotionally abused by her mentor, to the point where her hair turned brown, but has since regained her confidence.

Would love something kinda plotty? This is like the only character I probably won't ship. Any D&D adjacent settings would work. I'm pretty familiar with BG3 and will happily incorporate her in plots related to that. I've been playing her for 4 years, so I have LOTS more info about her I could post/share on request.

help, this took like 2 hours
