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.

Looking for:

I'm mostly looking for something with some action! They're my favourite way to get some character development and build CR. I've been struggling to scratch that itch in memes lately, so a game would be great.

For games, mission based and/or overarching plot is my priority. Horror is good! Fine with smut friendly games, but not looking for a smut game. Any kind of setting is fine, AU to fit the scene or jamjar.

For PSLs or memes, if anyone wants to write some adventures with me I'd love it!

HI HELLO like above anon said we have a small Dragon Ball cast over at [community profile] escordvi! it's a game about ~pirates~ and adventure on a world covered almost entirely in water! There's always a variety of things to do every month and there is an overarching plot sprinkled throughout the events, though the game is more about personal adventure and world building than it is about progressing the game's plot. There's also a hefty quest board every month that might scratch your mission needs!

Varying canon points are A-OK, I've got Gohan here from post-Cell Games, and we've got Goten from post-Tournament of Power, and a Nappa from before he even lands on Earth, so we've got a varied little group here.

WHY HELLO! I will certainly have a good look, as that does sound like it fits the bill very well indeed! Personal adventure is A+ in my book! Piccolo being conjured to keep the Son kids from slacking off also sounds supremely on brand. Thanks for the suggestion!

Should I not have the time/the spark for the game, any chance you'd like to make up some post-Cell Games, Pre-Buu filler adventures in a PSL sometime?

We just had our TDM go up, so if the game strikes your fancy, I'll look forward to seeing you there hopefully!

if not though, that also sounds fun as well, I love filling in the gaps between the arcs. I've also got a Buu saga Gohan and have been considering dabbling with Super Hero Gohan too if I ever get around to rewatching Super Hero.

I'm always game for more actiony threads with Yamada. Lord knows these two can get up to some Shenanigans.

Oooh, I'd love it. I'd be especially down for a) something serious enough they have to cut the shenanigans b) the opposite of big time battle banter and c) something in Yamada's setting (where aliens are real and known about, but rarely come to Earth because it's the galactic equivalent of a haunted house and generally forbidden).

eta: oh and I will absolutely be going back to that train spy thread just catching up with everything!

Oooh, yes. I cannot wait to show him Serious Delia, because when the chips get thrown down, she flips a goddamn switch from being silly and flirty right on over to full on Tactician and Intelligence Officer, which is a switch I enjoy flipping on her (occasionally to the surprise to others, who haven't picked up on it).

But honestly? I'm game for all of it. I'm a greedy thing. Gimme.

And take your time. I backtag into forever if necessary. 💚
