November 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 / 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.

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.

DC, fallout, OC

o f f e r i n g

DC -
Bruce Wayne | I have a few of versions floating around. You can check my muse list if you've got a preference.
Terry McGinnis | [personal profile] batfakes

Fallout
Conrad Kellogg | [personal profile] stogie

original character -
Asher Lawrence | [personal profile] skoll

s e e k i n g
Bruce - mostly gen. Still not entirely comfortable taking him outside of memes and psls. Cross canon is cool with me!

Terry - Would love a Bruce from any continuity. I'd like to put him somewhere eventually. But a PSL would be great for now. I have a half baked idea to go with it as well. Also cool with cross canon!

Kellogg - Would love a female sole survivor. Have an idea where she lets him live and he helps her infiltrate the institute. Gen or shippy are both fine with me!

Asher - would love to work through some of his trauma with him. Or have him (or someone close to him) caught and have to pull off some rescue mission. I'm willing to au him to fit any setting though, if you're not interested in his. Romance is not off the table, but it'll be a slow burn cause Ash doesn't open up in any meaningful way. At least not at first.

preferences
- Timezone: EST
- Ship preferences: m/f
- Tagging speed: Kind of on the slow side. I work during the day so RP things happen in the evening. I can boomerang text tags. But I'll take more time if we're writing prose.
- Style preference: I'm good with brackets or prose.
- Smut: I'll be honest, I wasn't that great at it back when I was active and now I'm out of practice. But I'm game if you are

An Arkham Batman? I would love to do a PSL with him.

Hi there! We can do that. Do you have anything in mind? I've got a kind of idea we can expand on if you want.

I’m totally down for your idea! Otherwise I also have a small idea.

[personal profile] skoll 2024-11-12 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Mainly Bruce's identity is compromised early on and he's on the run with Jason chasing him perhaps? It's bare bones right now and we could probably work your idea into this
iocus: (Default)

Re: DC, fallout, OC

[personal profile] iocus 2024-11-12 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah my idea was Jason on the run after Bruce has learned who he is so this works perfectly. Jason could def be chasing Bruce or vice versa!

Oh yeah we could probably turn it into some kind of cat and mouse thing. That would be fun.

I can work on a starter and then link it here if you want?

I always love a chance to throw Eddie at Bats if you're able to put up with him? I have a couple of ideas I could pitch if so.
theknightshift: (Default)

[personal profile] theknightshift 2024-11-14 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
Absolutely! I would love to collect Bruce's rogues lol. I would love to hear your ideas and do you have a preference for a Bruce?
ainissesthai: (Default)

[personal profile] ainissesthai 2024-11-14 10:08 am (UTC)(link)
Awesome!

In terms of ideas, I have a soft spot for characters that don't get along being forced to work together - whether it's Beyond Bruce and a retired Eddie needing to solve some mystery that's caught them both up or maybe Arkham Bruce being forced to tolerate him whilst someone is trying to kill one or both of them or they get stranded somewhere.

Or the latest issue of Absolute has me wanting more of that crew in any form, as little as we've seen of them so idk, that's a little harder admittedly.

I am also down for a more standard scenario with Eddie causing trouble for Bruce to deal with if you want as that's always fun.

Just a couple of basic ideas but I can probably come up with something else if none appeal.
theknightshift: (Default)

[personal profile] theknightshift 2024-11-14 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I would honestly jump at the chance to do more with old man Bruce. Forcing him to work with Eddie sounds like sitcom that I am absolutely here for. And if there's a need for Terry, I can drag him out too.

Agreed on Absolute. I enjoyed that poker scene so much. I need to reread it but if you want to work out something for them, we could. We could always just make it up as we go and work in new information as the issues are released.

[personal profile] ainissesthai 2024-11-15 10:27 am (UTC)(link)
I do love old man Bruce plus I think it's easier to justify if Eddie hasn't been the Riddler for years. And Terry showing up would be amazing too. Maybe some past scheme of Eddie's that involved Wayne Enterprises in some way comes back to cause trouble for them?

It was great and I am equally happy to make shit up or put that as 'when there's a little more canon to work with' option since we're going to be seeing a lot more of Bruce before anyone else.
theknightshift: (Default)

[personal profile] theknightshift 2024-11-15 02:00 pm (UTC)(link)
My first thought was maybe someone wants to be the new Riddler and he's trying to get rid of Eddie cause he thinks he's some kind of imposter or he's doing it to become the real Riddler. Bruce gets involved because Terry's otherwise unavailable. Shenanigans ensue?

That absolutely works for me!

[personal profile] ainissesthai 2024-11-17 12:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I like that idea! Any prefs on where to take it? I'm happy to toss up a starter with Eddie needing a rescue maybe in a bit.
theknightshift: (Default)

[personal profile] theknightshift 2024-11-17 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't have a pref, so I'm totally cool with seeing where it goes if you are!

[personal profile] ainissesthai 2024-11-17 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry, I meant do you prefer to use a suitable meme/musebox/whatever?
theknightshift: (Default)

[personal profile] theknightshift 2024-11-18 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
oh duh, sorry I'm a dumbass lol. I'm easy! There's an open post in my musebox ([community profile] arkhamverse) or I can toss something up in Bruce's journal if you prefer that.
ainissesthai: (Default)

[personal profile] ainissesthai 2024-11-18 12:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah, I wasn't clear what I meant. I will hit up that open post later then if that suits. Also, hope you will forgive me for not having many age-appropriate icons for now
