January 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.

Hey! Okay, I have Conrad here who is probably the world's most incompetent vampire. Or, really, his personality just clashes with the whole vampire lifestyle, pretty much. He's not great at hunting for humans or transforming into a bat or much of anything vamp-related.

I always wanted to play him off one of the WWDITS vampires since they're very experienced vamps. Maybe Laszlo could try to teach Conrad a thing or two? Take him under his bat wing or something? I don't know how well they'd actually get along, though, since Conrad is sort of stuck on not murdering people and stuff, but their interactions could be fun? Let me know what you think if you're interested!

Man it feels weird replying to another Viktor, but if you want to give Jayce a shot, I'm down to any and all of your wants! I've been hankering for vampire/werewolf especially, but I'm happy to follow your lead and let you pick.

Not sure it's a fit, bc tragically we don't have castmates on offer, but I will put Fade Rift up for consideration.

We're a fantasy game based in the Dragon Age setting. You don't have to be canon-familiar to play. A lot of characters arrive jamjar-style through a magical rift between worlds. These "rifters" end up with a sliver of magic in their hands, and can power that up with mod plot rewards. It's not as flexible or expansive as what I know of the Abraxas power system, no one's becoming literal gods, but along with enchanted items there's a lot of room to give normies cool abilities.

We're story-focused, backtag-friendly, and have a mix of quarterly mod plots and smaller player-led missions. We try to emphasize an environment reactive to character choices. Also, no one's invented psychiatry yet. So it's free real estate.

If you decide to voicetest anyone, we've just put up a brand new TDM. A lot of players track it, so if you try it out, we'll see you there! Good luck finding the game of your dreams / drug-induced nightmare hallucinations.

Caveat that I'm not canon-familiar, so I can't guarantee all his powers would get through without nerfs, but Fade Rift lets characters keep a lot. The mods are pretty flexible about working with you on what's important.

We're backtag-friendly, and AC is low/quarterly. We're a slower, plot-focused game in the Dragon Age (high fantasy) setting. You don't have to be canon familiar to play. We have larger mod plots every few months, with smaller, player-led missions between. There's a lot of room to take things at your own pace: Some players lean more SOL, others more action, but the main focus is that of a world reactive to character choices.

If you decide to check us out, we just put up a brand new TDM. Most players track it, so if you top-level, we'll see and hit you up. Good luck in the game hunt!

BBC's The Musketeers

[personal profile] notafool 2025-01-15 10:26 am (UTC)(link)
OFFERING.
Queen Anne | [personal profile] notafool
(Also possibly Ninon de Larroque and Constance [but I don't like the username I came up with for Constance so I am contemplating a new one.])


SEEKING.
Honestly, everything. I started re-watching the show and decided to dust her off. Just finished the first season so she’s current to that, for the moment. Would LOVE more Musketeers folks. Both BBC and other versions. Other historical canon characters would be fun, too. And fantasy.


NOTES.
My tag speed varies sometimes, but generally I’m on the slow side. I will tag back forever though as long as we all have inspiration for the threads. (Initial tags/starters can take longer especially for voice-testing characters and to set things up/make sure the quality is up to snuff.)

I tend more towards prose rather than brackets, but I can roll with both.

I'm absolutely here for memes and PSLs both.

I love AUs and what-ifs and explorations of moments in canon and post-canon. Canon, crosscanon, shippy things, gen things. Adventure, hurt/comfort, horror. Canon smooshing, AUing characters into other, separate canons. All of it.

he does..... his entire arc is getting involved in shenanigans with the first harbinger of the fatui because he's trying to keep his Granny out of it but, like, it's fine because he can sense this Symbol of Evil is cool 💀. so yeah. he definitely gets into things in his desire to be useful and Save the World, so J3 won't get to be lazy forever with him around or someone will have to explain the missing/dead/maverick taking matters into his own hands bat (even though he isn't physically very strong) :')

but as long as no one's in danger he's not even mad about never leaving... just give him a nice cave and a garden... and a wolf to nap with.

ANYWAY pushing his exposition aside and looking at the memes up rn, maybe lost in the forest (they're probably both great trackers but it could be a spooky recursive haunted forest) or trapped together sound easy to work with? 🤔 if Ororon's still a pretty new addition to the company, we can obliquely introduce me to the canon :)

comes crawling in two days late with a hot drink maybe???

anyway i've been enjoying our threads! if you'd like neve for any canon exploring, gen or ship or whatever, i'd be down to see how they do :> i feel u on the ot3 thing. my kingdom for lucanis + neve + rook one day /clenches fist
chessmate: (Default)

[personal profile] chessmate 2025-01-15 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
hey now don't leave that genius ship crossed out!! lucanis/never/rook is definitely one of those beloved ot3s i will show an ankle for

i've been enjoying them too! happy to explore writing more stuff or taking it in the plot direction in rook's open post? you can now read that tfln thread as rook being really happy you got pie and all but also biting her own fist in longing over both the baker and the receiver of pie
coldjustice: (17536627)

[personal profile] coldjustice 2025-01-15 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
it would be so juicy to work through, given her huge hangups re: minrathous and the choice that has to be if lucanis is going to trust rook enough, but uuugh i want it badly.

LOL poor rook. HMMM i had no immediate thoughts beyond "hey we're vibing" BUT i do love me some lead-up writing so i'd be more than happy to start early and work our way up and if the heart dialogue options sing to us, we can see how they go! or like pick a meme and make it our personal canon. any particular canon points you wanna explore? i'm always happy to touch things like the Choice or weisshaupt or aelia's whole arc. juicy feels and a lot of stuff neve has to work through!
chessmate: (Default)

[personal profile] chessmate 2025-01-15 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Oohhh i think a favourite option would be working through Neve's defenses, especially if hardened; there's that whole "you did the best you could with the information you had" line from Neve where she says she's not mad but like she's a bit mad (understandably so!)

Plus you know that whole blood ritual in Arlathan they have to infiltrate a Venatori camp to stop, as a Dalish elf herself I want to see how the conversation would go, after picking Treviso and after pretending to be Neve's ahem ahem elf servant would make her feel.

Lots of EMOTIONAL DAMAGE to heal from here, you know? I know she's an ice mage but bring on the slow burn baby
coldjustice: (17536634)

[personal profile] coldjustice 2025-01-15 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
i love both of these options!! i'd be more than happy to work up to the second for sure and we can see where they are when we get there! cause that's juicyyy.

re: hardened neve. i play it as a combo of a lot of things. yes, she's angry. she's angry that there was a choice, that rook didn't choose her, that neve herself wasn't enough to save minrathous. but at the end of the day, deep down and embroiled and tucked away where she can safely ignore it, the truth of the matter is that neve, for one instant, thought someone (rook) would be at her back to help her and they weren't. so it tripped a lot of her abandonment issues and that's the core of what she has to work through. that's why literally all of her meaningful heart dialogue options are some form of "i'm here for you." because that abandonment is what neve has to work through and it's a lot worse if she's hardened. so yes, it was an impossible choice made with too little information but it still hurt and for someone who has grown used to never trusting anyone and believing herself to always be alone... it hurt extra. so if you're up for playing through that (as gen or ship), i am here for it!

(and on that note i also play that neve losing her healing magic is a trauma response to what happened in minrathous, rather than a conscious choice. her brain just locked up after the horrors she witnessed. maybe with the right softening and support she can regain it, who knows! but that's another thing i love to pick apart with rook.)

slow burn is my jam. we have so many good options
chessmate: (Default)

[personal profile] chessmate 2025-01-15 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
I LOVE the way you think let's go let's do it all! Or start at maybe after weisshaupt, work our way through hard conversations and a lot of proving-through-actions that she's here for Neve

Tbh re: choice, for Rook (this one) the choice was Treviso bc Minrathous had mages and Treviso had Crows and that's it, so it felt like the worst outcome in a game of both-outcomes-vert-bad - so she'd be careful with Neve (bc the game makes you be) but rp is where we could see if there's more they can actually talk about around it.

If memory serves, post weisshaupt and right after finding out about aelia is when you get the "hey btw romance might be an option" alert for her on the hardened track. So i would love that point for sure and i love rook being there for learning about aelia but now that i think about it, i raise you two things:

One going back to minrathous to help some civilians and finding the state of the city and neve being like YEAH IT'S AWFUL and it's giving me nightmares

Two rook asking about neve's magic one day, if that's something she would do! We could fold this into the post aelia stuff or anywhere tbh. I just like that being something else neve has to work through that rook could help with.

But your thoughts on the Choice are how i see it too. Minrathous had the shadows. It should have been okay. Except they didn't know the deep details. With the knowledge they had, that was the right choice. But someone was going to take some kind of fall no matter what and it was just worse than they knew. Which i think also helps neve later, once it sinks in that it wasn't a conscious abandonment.

you know what sure, whatever he can do anything he wants because he's taking care of his granny in a way. i cannot fault him for wanting to protect his family and j3 might think because he does this stuff that he's actually cool. a guy who can get things done (hero complex) without needing him to do much and is part of security? this is everything he's ever wanted (really he gets so excited when he thinks the mc is going to get contaminated and join security).

ororon do you remember how we used to run in the gardens and sleep in the caves...

and yes those two options sound good, let me open gsgw and get this started i'm pretty sure by the time i post this it'll be done but lmk if you need me to change anything!

sooo if you ever find a game for iris i'd very much be interested.

i was originally considering expi for herlock before things came up and i missed the last round and unfortunately she wouldn't be allowed, but i'd definitely consider alternatives!!

our requirements more or less align including ac for accountability (rip) so surely there's something out there...

It doesn't bother me at all. All you really need to know is that Buck is a firefighter. He's very impulsive and came out later in life (30ish). He had one boyfriend and has a lot of experience with women.
