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.

honkai star rail, cyberpunk 2077.

offering.
dr. ratio, hsr
goro takemura, cp2077

seeking.
for ratio, i am looking for canonmates in general! whether or not they've actually interacted on screen isn't important. canon compliant side stories, divergencies where the plot gets shaken up, post-penacony slices of life, totally separate AUs... i do not have many concrete Ideas in mind as much as a general desire to explore CR with anyone lacking a nickname that ends in ambler.

⬦ some specific interests: screwllum. topaz. jade. herta. sunday? but really, anyone is good!

crosscanon/ocs also totally welcome! some sort of wiggly HSRverse world mashup we don't think too hard about is fine, or we can go with a more intentional crossover/AU. i am not a hoyoverse warrior and do not have any preference for genshins/etc over other canons.
⬥ for goro, i would love to play off a v! any lifepath/gender is fine in this regard, all are v-alid to me. i think there is a lot of room to explore really simple decisions that would totally upend their mutual stories (what if he did somehow get convinced to ditch arasaka) or flesh out some of the downtime they could have shared in a more canon-compliant PSL. (or maybe the latter leads to the former idk) my final idea is devil ending spoilers something set in a world in which v's engram does actually receive a suitable host against all odds and they're able to have a reunion would be great; despite this ostensibly being a "happy" thing, i think the fundamental incompatibility of their viewpoints and the extreme disillusionment v likely feels by that point in time would make for great content. yeah! i am fine with things going in either a shippy or a platonic direction; while i do think it's criminal he isn't a romance option, i enjoy the two together regardless of what form their relationship takes. i'm also fine with not committing one way or the other and just seeing how the tags roll.

crosscanon/ocs i am still open to with him, but i am not really interested in trying to remold goro's story to fit anything outside of the cyberpunk world, as most of what i'd like to play is wrapped up in his canon-specific circumstances. being a longtime fan of the TTRPG, i love helping people come up with AUs, though 👀

notes.
pst, on the slower side for non-text tags. brackets. (i am getting back to stuff i owe soon, prommy 🥺)
⬥ i am fully up to date on both of the above canons, so no need to worry about spoilers.
⬦ in terms of shipping i would prefer to get a feel for the characters' chemistry first, but otherwise OTA 18+ for both men.
⬥ feel free to contact here or send a PM; i tend to save discord/plurk for after we've spoken a bit.
⬦ only interested in memes and psls at this time.

sorry, but i'm not really compelled enough by ratiorine as a ship to explore it on the premise of their existence alone, especially with the wide and often incompatible range of interpretations for both characters that exists within fandom. i appreciate the interest, though!
