January EMP Meme
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. MOD CONTACT: If there's trouble, tell me HERE, please!

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 fistno subject
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 pieno subject
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!no subject
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
no subject
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
no subject
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.
no subject
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.
