November 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 / kink 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.

yet another dragon age

[icyvoid]

I have a Neve and Bellara journal currently (with a possible Harding journal happening… I’m so sorry…) and would love to PSL and voice test while eventually looking for a game for one of them.

For Neve… Neve is a detective (and mage) in a very pro-mage and pro-slavery city of high magical tech, and despite being a cynic, she still wants to help protect people and has a heart of gold beneath her frosty exterior! Looking for adventure things, mystery shenanigans, canon compliant or AU things. Open to shipping m/f or f/f with any of the companions or Rooks or other NPCs. (Can I get a Rook and Lucan’s for silly poly things? No?) If you play a malleable protag like Rook or Inq, please just have info on your journals! I’m also open to cross-canon; really would love anything and to nail down her voice.

For Bellara… Bellara is a elven mage (with a cool bow!) who loves finding and working with artifacts related to her heritage and culture. She’s awkward but loyal and kind, and wants to help however she can while learning about as many things as possible. She also loves writing steamy romance. Similar situation as before: open to anything, but would looooove to play off of an Emmrich, just exploring magic and artifacts and undead things. Their teacher and student dynamic is so good! But I’m open to anything else as well, shipping m/f or f/f, AU, crosscanon, doesn’t matter!

[fade_away]

SO I'M STILL (ALMOST DONE WITH) ACT 1 but Bellara getting to talk with a (sort of depending on his ending) spirit who knew the Dread Wolf back when he was pretending to be a normal elf mage???

[fadebolt]

GASP yes, omg I’d love that. We can also completely avoid spoilers and do something pre-Veilguard. But it would be so cool to write her off of a Cole, to discuss that history and spirits and Cole himself.

[spellbladed]

I have a Rook I’d love to throw at either of your ladies if they seem like one you’d be interested in
Also godddd poly Rook, Neve and Lucanis, I’m so glad someone else sees the vision

[icyvoid]

I am just saying that everyone has two hands in this scenario! Don't be cowards, Bioware!!

Also wow, phone totally autocorrected Lucanis' name there, huh. ANYWHO. I am happy to toss either of them at your Rook! Do you have any specific scenarios in mind or a meme you'd want to tag on?

Re: yet another dragon age

[arsebiscuit]

Hello! I haven't finished the game yet, but I love both of those characters (and I have Sera here in a game if you're interested eventually...)

But an adorably Elfy Elf to win Sera over and shit talk Solas? A Shadow Dragon and a Red Jenny meet in a bar? Both would be amazing.

[fadebolt]

Ooh I'd be down for either of these dynamics because they'd be...amazingly chaotic! I'm so down. (And as a side note, I had been eyeing that game for a bit....)

Do you have any memes you wanna toss Sera on or an open post? Or anything specifically in mind?

[chessmate]

Alexa, play Losing My Religion for the elven Veil Jumpers in this corner, please

Happy to help you voice test both Neve and Bellara in any way 👏 thanks for the good food

[fadebolt]

REAL. TOO REAL.

I'm happy to do either! Any memes you've posted to recently or do you have an open post somewhere? Happy to hash out some fun things for either character to tag your Rook.

[chessmate]

i like to take bellara and davrin on quests and call it the dalish buddies team but also anytime the matter of elven gods comes up in a conversation the morale crumbling is so delicious

i didn't have top levels but if you ignore how i very obviously went and top levelled just now, find some options here: over a drink, nursed to health, dialogue starter

[conglacia]

if this game was as woke as they say then bioware's dragon age the veilguard would let me have Rook/Neve/Lucanis.

we already have a thread I'm enjoying! but throwing up a signal flare for More Of Those or any specific things your heart may desire, including if you manage to kidnap a Lucanis for poly purposes.

[icyvoid]

this is what I'm saying!! total missed opportunity.

I'm enjoying our thread too! and I will totally tap you for any of those things; your Rook is fantastic. and if I manage to reel in a Lucanis, I will absolutely hit you up if they're game

[conglacia]

yes good! your Neve is fabulous. looking fwd to more!

come on Christmas i've been so good this year

[makingitupashegoes]

My god the way my mind just *violently expanded* at the idea of a Neve/Lucanis/Rook poly thing...

I have no idea *what* I want to do but the idea of my sunshine wrecking ball orange cat of a Rook going with the Other Black Cat of the crew sounds so delightful surely we can think of something fun!

[icyvoid]

you see the vision, you get it. when you have a lighthouse full of attractive people and all of them are game to romance any gendered rook, it's a missed opportunity. Bioware, fight me, you cowards

oh, but orange cat black cat dynamics are fun... if you find a meme or something that you end up posting to, I'm happy to hit you up!

[makingitupashegoes]

[Bangs hands against the table.] Give Us Poly Delightfulness!!!!

BUT YEAH I have Rook in Near Miss/Close Calls, and Fanfic Tropes, and my discord is atomic_kiwi if you want to chat about options or just yell real loud about our blorbos. XD
