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.

ghost story gotta work, reverse:1999 + canon, crosscanon and ocs adored!

[personal profile] indifference 2025-01-12 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
Offering: J3, Got Dropped Into A Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work
  • — GSGW is a horror story that revolves around a company that works and solves SCP-like creatures and locations, creepypastas or horror stories called "Darkness" to gain dream essence. J3 is the only Sergeant and security guard of Unit 3, those that work in this field are humans turned monsters that are able to fight against the Darkness head to head. He's a bum, really lazy, and doesn't seem to care for his job as he'd rather sleep and eat donuts (he really loves those, easily bribed by them). The only time he appears to care about work is when he transforms into a werewolf.
  • I'd love to bounce off other supernatural creatures, or individuals who would be interested in being thrown into horror stories. We can craft up a world or pull from an already known creepypasta or etc, there are a few that show up canonly so anything is on the table.
  • He's a werewolf so doing red riding hood/werewolf adjacent things, or any other canon divergent scenarios would work!
  • Even though he's a bum, a bozo, and appears difficult to work with, people who want to annoy him or get him to work are loved as well. His laidback personality allows people to pull him into situations, so troublemakers who want a werewolf to clean up their mess, or someone who wants to take care of him... feel free.
  • Fine with M/F, M/M, M/* for shipping and smut! Anything's on the table with him, and I'm open to PSLs, memes, AUs, etc etc.
Offering: Anjo Nala, Reverse: 1999
  • — Reverse: 1999 is about various eras of time being erased during a "Storm" and a group of people trying to find a way to prevent other years from suffering the same fate. Anjo Nala is practically a walking spoiler, so I won't explain her completely, and will instead link her info post and intro video for anyone interested!
  • Master/Servant would be the number one with her considering the artifact that she's bound to. She can like or dislike her master, she doesn't really have a choice when someone has it.
  • She attaches easily to a person that's nice to her, so anyone that would be interested in being the apple of her eye, or someone she heavily cares for. She'd do anything to be loved by someone or grab their attention.
  • As a succubus, she has most of the stereotypical succubus abilities so that would be fun to play with.
  • Fine with M/F, F/F, F/* for shipping and smut! I'm open to PSLs, memes, AUs, etc etc.
Timezone EST, I tag pretty frequently and my replies come at different hours so you might be amazed when you gain a tag at the ass crack of dawn or the middle of the night. PM this journal for anymore information or interest!

[personal profile] batlan 2025-01-13 01:01 pm (UTC)(link)
i'm still getting the hang of this bat, but if you don't mind a little voicetesting, they could be easy to smash together into ghost stories (i slept on scp as a concept but i hear there's a wiki)

anyway... he talks to ghosts, does exorcisms, visits the kingdom of the dead, that kinda thing.
indifference: (pic#17567781)

[personal profile] indifference 2025-01-13 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
i love helping people voicetest you can come to me anytime with that! it's OK if you skipped scp because the best thing is that gsgw allows you the freedom to make up whatever, the world is our oyster.

he does everything that j3 doesn't have to do which means they will be a great pair (meaning j3 will be a bum the entire time i'm sorry). i think they'd be fun to throw together especially with his talents, he could help j3 solve and contain various horrors. i'm vaguely familiar with genshin so anything past fontaine i'm blind but i'd be down playing with your bat

lolll Ororon's insanely powerful Granny is also a lazy sack of bones, so he's used to the dynamic. aaand since she's motivated exclusively by alcohol and romance novels, it's only a matter of time before he figures out that donuts make things happen

otoh: Ororon's also lazy in the morning, so they'll probably be afternoon donuts?

Fontaine was peak imo so you don't have to continue learning about the game. i can modernize the bat into a spooky city, where he will miss his leafy vegetables...
indifference: (pic#17563456)

[personal profile] indifference 2025-01-14 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
that's crazy does he do things for his granny please... .ororon, maybe you're who j3 needed all this time. i'm actually chuckling at the fact that this isn't his first rodeo please i need this cr sooo bad. even though ororon is also lazy it's fine because that means j3 can remain a bum and lay on him do you see where this is going. he'd think this man is a like-minded individual until he wants to do things where j3 has to be active

no... we can still give him leafy vegetables, the company could give him that you know... a room that's just a forest to fulfill his needs because he's part bat, he's on the "we can never let him leave ever" duty that j3 is on.

fontaine was, they cooked there actually. are there any memes that you're interested in that you'd like to play on, we can build something around the premise unless you already have an idea stirring!!
batlan: (13)

[personal profile] batlan 2025-01-15 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
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 :)

[personal profile] indifference 2025-01-15 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
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!
crisantemo: (but i know i can't run)

[personal profile] crisantemo 2025-01-18 01:50 pm (UTC)(link)
if you're interested i can offer this lady here who is basically a (very docile and isn't entirely aware of it ) baby cryptid and is from a world where she deals with creepypastas on a daily basis

she's also a nag and workaholic who will absolutely drag him into things-
indifference: (pic#17567788)

[personal profile] indifference 2025-01-18 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
yeah i would definitely love to rp against your girl!! would you like to do coworkers or have him have to watch over her because shes a baby cryptid that they think is important. either direction would allow her to drag him into things against his will, she can care more about his job than he does his own job!!
crisantemo: (little heart)

[personal profile] crisantemo 2025-01-19 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
omg i love the idea of him watching over her, her powers focus a lot on communicating with the dead/demons/all those things in between and making "friends" with them, so daydream could be like 'oh we can use this'

so he's going to be dragged along on so much. pls do your job j3 she will get you donuts afterwards
indifference: (pic#17622878)

[personal profile] indifference 2025-01-19 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
that sounds good to me, they put her with him because they trust he will get things done if things go wrong when they use her for certain darkness they come across. maybe they think dream essence through communication could be a higher grade if she can make it happen but because she's not human they're like they'll have to test it

is there a certain meme you'd want to thread on!! :)
crisantemo: (keep your eye on the edge of the forest)

[personal profile] crisantemo 2025-01-19 01:10 pm (UTC)(link)
yeah sounds good!! they probably get sent to the more unknown/less explored darkness too since hey they aren't human so less likely to die terribly

and let's see... maybe city at night or if you have any toplevels anywhere else i can hit you up there!
indifference: (pic#17565206)

[personal profile] indifference 2025-01-19 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
this is going to be a mess i can feel it

here!

i went to go post there just for you! i'm also fine with any angle you want to set it, go wild
crisantemo: (there's a voice inside)
