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.

nei, of course: the girl who wants to Get Good for the sole purpose of getting a gold star for it. her hobbies include swiping jobs from other agents and she HAS been asked if she really has nothing better to do (no). one of my many hatergirls. currently i'm in hell because the manga's on break on a terrible cliffhanger and it's nei-focused......

maybe tao ( [personal profile] eirs ): quiet, gruff delinquent but older sister type gal... she's surviving purely on cigarettes and canned coffee. runs a 'troubleshooter agency' that's essentially a jack-of-all trades type deal with the kid she has guardianship over. moonlights as an agent for the saragi. and yeah, essentially nei's opposite.

i have a few other dickheads on my list but i just sort of rotate thru them on a whim in memes.. it's extensive and probably incomplete and i'm too lazy to do anything about it. if you notice a theme no you didn't.

 — looking for
god, where do i even start. castmates for either would be great and i will pitch this manga at you if i have to. it's short (current is chapter 23). the art's very pretty. nei is there sometimes.

but anyway.

for nei:
✦ as always, as she is kind of a cunt, come fight her in a parking lot. i'm mostly serious about this? like honestly, her meeting someone undeniably better than her in her own field could do her some good bc while she IS the top dog she's very annoying about it. we don't have to write the actual fight just come kick her ass
✦ i haven't written nei getting full-on protective over someone and i want to.... :/ and why haven't i written her covered in blood yet!!!!! please let nei maim someone on your behalf i am SO serious
✦ on a less violent note, i love situations and i love tomfoolery. let her try to learn something your character is good at and watch her go mad trying to figure it out. this could be about literally anything. there's some likelihood that she'll ask to depending on the cr, but if you taunt her enough she'll do whatever fr.


for tao it's simpler bc this is kind of a whim:
✦ hire her for something! she does investigations, she's gone and grabbed shit that could've been used as blackmail, she's good with a gun, etc. the troubleshooting office will do just about anything that's not too crazy or wildly illegal.
✦ have her begrudgingly look after your ass for whatever reason. it'd be funny.
✦ the straightman to your comedy duo always. her sense of humor is so dry but its there. she truly just does and says whatever sometimes though.. she goes along with a lot of things too if it's harmless enough. so again, tomfoolery.


they both got prefs and such on their journal for anything i probably missed.

favorite memes/tropes include: fake dating, intimate bathing, master/servant, morning afters, body heat


 — notes

f/* for either, and if you indulge my love for slowburn in any capacity know that i'd die for you. i'll pride and prejudice your ass. i'll happily drag something out for months if you let me. this can be anything from like friends to lovers / enemies to friends or whatever mix you want. hell, one of my favorite tropes is exes. throw that in there somewhere. this could also mean taking forever to get to whatever stage of physical intimacy, because i'm great at playing chicken.

i'd be thrilled to do a psl of whatever. or! continue to dick around in memes. i'm easy. obv texting ones will go faster because i don't know how to shut the fuck up in longer threads. i'm pst/mst, and i kinda just tag throughout the day when i have time..

pm the journal, comment or if we've cooked together in threads before i'll give u my discord.

you've now become one of those rare beings on dw where i run into a bunch of their charas and silently adore ALL OF THEM but generally suck bc of how often my brain refuses to write, and then it's a cycle of seeing you around and just thinkin to myself 'love that aerith' etc
