December 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.

excellent I love it. I actually owe you that star gaze starter so if you want I can loop that into this??? or just write something separate and do alien monsterfucking on the side. otherwise I have TWO scenarios for you:

1. confrontation in the hexvault; Viktor tries one more time to get Jayce to join him except this time he's not asking. I like the idea of Viktor trying to use the forehead touch to keep Jayce forever, except Jayce has also touched the arcane so he has some measure of control over it and they take turns using the mindscape to get in each others heads and torture each other. One-sided whump is cool and I would be happy to deliver on that if you're interested, but with J&V in particular I like a little more mutual: trapped-in-the-astral-plane fighting about their divergent philosophies and knowing exactly how to make it hurt while also still desperately needing each other, you know,

2. post-show; Jayce and Viktor are spit out into some kind of inter-dimensional liminal space but they are still in their physical bodies. Viktor is slightly more sane but is stuck as an 8 foot tall Thing, and now the two of them have to come to terms with what they did to each other and what they are to each other and working through that trauma while stuck on the universe's most awkward road trip. In this scenario I would probably like to explore some accountability for Viktor--he straight up killed like 200 people and I think he deserves to have a breakdown about it actually.

THOSE ARE JUST TO GET US STARTED if you like it; happy to reconfigure or toss you something different as necessary and if you have your own ideas/prefs would love to incorporate them!

with jayvik??? buddy I have some NEWS



the news is i am literally down for copious amounts of thread flavors involving these two, so we could have something very sweet for stargazing, nasty creature fucking, we can have all of the above..... the cosmic skies are the limit.

and oh my gosh those prompts. i have not yet played to that side of things so, I'm gonna be real with you: I LOVE these two prompts for different reasons and really don't know which to pick! if you'd like to be a greedy hoarder (like me), I am down to writing the separate threads simultaneously (i usually manage to tag a thread once or twice a day with the size my inbox is now, sometimes a little more depending on my workload). if you'd prefer to do one and then the other, I am all for that too! i just want to be cute and nasty and a little sad 🙂‍↕️

if you'd like other means of contacting me you can add me on [plurk.com profile] liberos or owlshaped on discord— or just pm works well too!! 🩵

OKAY if you're down with concurrent threads then perhaps we CAN have both. Why don't I incorporate prompt #2 into that stargaze starter I am supposed to be writing you, and then do a little separate thing for prompt #1. there can be monsterfuck and sad in both, just different flavors.

I can get a starter for #1 up pretty quickly if you don't mind a prewritten-with-tweaks deal; happy to toss it into this journal, either on the open post there or in its own entry if you'd prefer a bit of privacy, just let me know. then I will follow up on that bakerstreet meme with #2! If all that sounds copacetic I'll get to work--but of course if you have a starter for either of these in mind I do not want to *~*monopolize*~*

I'm on plurk at [plurk.com profile] whitticus; I will toss you an add!
