February 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.

Been thinking of climbing out of my (short) RP retirement/hiatus lately... I probably won't be able to apply for any games until maybe around late March or April. Just putting feelers out there to see what's around.

OFFERING

Sophie Lhant | Tales of Graces
Fio | NieR:Reincarnation*
Corin Wickes | Zenless Zone Zero**
Soukaku | Zenless Zone Zero**

Currently, I would need to canon review for all of them. Sophie and Fio are probably the easiest for me to pick back up.

* I adore this character to bits but it's probably difficult to find a game for her since she's a child character (I tend to play her being around Yonah's age.) Nonetheless, I've listed her here in case of interest. It's a long shot, but I'd love it if she could be in a game with a castmate.
** I'm not caught up with ZZZ at the moment and I still need to pick out usernames for these girls. I've been enjoying it a lot and hoping to pick someone up! These two ping me so far. I like cute girl characters as you can see...


PREFERENCES
■ dreamwidth only. games preferred with a tdm for testing. I've decided to accept that I don't do well continuing PSL/meme threads... :(
■ slow to medium pace, backtag friendly
■ castmates not required with an exception of the note mentioned above
■ not too heavy on SOL
■ no AU, no smut, no memory loss, no full power loss

Ahhhh Sophie my girrrlll

I've been powering through the Graces remaster because I've been wanting to pick Asbel back up and throw him somewhere, I'm so glad to see others do the same!

ASBEL :D

It's been... checks the last post on this account- about 5 years since I last played her?! Probably the most fun I've ever had in DWRP was playing Sophie tbh. :') THE GRACES REMASTER IS probably going to take some time for me get through again since I've been busy!! but I feel like I'd click with her again instantly. Definitely happy to see Graces love come back and hopefully more players pop up again~

Sophie seems like a character you could get up to SO MANY shenanigans with because of her innocent nature, so I'm glad you had a blast with her in the past.

Thankfully if you turn on all the EXP and damage modifiers and turn off the encounters it actually goes pretty quick. I'm about 12 hours in and heading to Fendel in my playthrough?

I hope your canon review goes well and her voice comes flying back for you! I feel pretty confident I can get Asbel's voice back, since his type comes pretty naturally for me. I've got a couple places in mind I'd like to poke at with him once I feel comfortable, so if you get Sophie going again, shoot me a DM and we can see if we can throw these losers somewhere :D

It sounds to me like [community profile] etraya would be a great fit for you! As it happens, I just turned in my app for Lars there, and we've got some Reincarnation fans among the playerbase. Child characters can app, the mods just want a little something addressing the character's ability to get along without adults babysitting, and I'd say Fio easily can make that case.

[personal profile] sabigoe 2025-02-12 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
Aaaaaa... Rein fans still exist... I'm amazed. And it's so nice to see a Lars player around!!! I was actually checking out Etraya around when it first opened but wasn't really looking to apply elsewhere at the time. NGL, I've been a bit unsure how suitable Fio would be because of her age but I can definitely come up with reasons that she's capable without supervision. When I'm back from vacation in March-ish, I might check in on the TDM.

Would you know if she'd be able to arrive with her weapon summoning powers from The Cage? It would be nice for her to have since she's unlike the rest of the cast who had some sort of fighting ability during their lifetime. It's one of the things I've been kiiiind of unsure how to translate over into DWRP settings and if the game is strict on players explaining how the mechanics of that all works. Ahaha.

We sure do! Living in hope that SE ever localizes that huge book with all that Rein lore and whatnot. It's even got some content that didn't have time to make it into the same. I swear, SE should quit EoSing games before their time. Heck I wish we'd get an offline version, but I digress... If you pop in in March, I'll hit you up!

Forgive me since it's been a bit, but I don't remember her summoning weapons in the story. Didn't she extract them from the scarecrows, which was part of purifying the corruption that was there? The kind of debugging that Hina and Yuzuki later did too. Am I thinking of the wrong thing though? I'd be happy to help with translating in-game abilities if you want a hand with it, I love that kind of thing.

Replying in the middle of my family vacation but I have a bit of downtime right now. Also happy 4th anniversary to Rein!!!!!

And sorry for the confusion! I tend to just word it as summoning whenever the weapons materialize out of thin air during the battle sequences. I'm more referring to only Fio's own memory weapon after it gets restored (Fate & Destiny, the giant prison ball and chain) since we see her prepare to fight with it during the Arc 3 opening and onward.

Gosh, I hope it's a good vacation! Happy anniversary to Rein ✨

Calling their personal weapons is a-okay! The mods only limit things that are game-breaking. I think characters only arrive with what's on them at the time and can regain other things, but sort of conjuring their story weapons is a mechanic that's pretty much an ability and certainly not a game-breaker.

I love Fio omg. I know A2 is kind of a loose description of canonmate to Fio, but I would like to recommend [community profile] expiationnet! It's a plot-focused game, about medium sized, with a minimum of 15 comments. I would describe the pace as leisurely, with the exception of network mingle & TDM months, which can get into the medium-fast range. It's very backtag friendly as well! The plot boils down to: characters arrive with a piece of paper that states a crime they have committed (may or may not be an actual crime they committed). They've been brought to rehabilitate and atone for their crime. It's plot-focused, and takes place in a more modern setting with a sci-fi creep. Younger characters are accepted on a case by case basis, but we have a few kids and crosscanon is really easy to get.

The game is capped presently, but the TDM/mingle goes up tomorrow if you want to get a feel for the game. I play A2 there and would love to see Fio!

Hello!!! Thank you for the rec! Aaaah, sad about the game cap though! The premise sounds really interesting and I already have an idea for Fio's "crime". And it's okay, A2's probably my favorite from Automata and I'll say she counts as a castmate. I can definitely see Fio making a 10H namedrop around her, hehe. Automata characters interacting with any Rein character aware of what's going on with the moon would be interesting actually...! Aside from that, crosscanon CR is a big plus!

Unfortunately, I won't be around for the TDM since I'll be traveling for vacation, but I'll consider checking back in when I'm back!

I am a huge fan of Reincarnation (rip to a legend) and Fio! I have an Akeha journal even so I'd be super jazzed to see her in Expi. There's a few other Nier Rein familiar people in the game so I'm sure they'd be super excited to see her too! A2 will be like... who is this strange child who knows about the moon base and androids... but she will also be protective because she's a softie for kids.

I hope you enjoy your vacation, and no worries about the TDM! I'll keep an eye out for you if you pop in later.

Hi! I have nothing productive to add but I just wanted to come and second the thought of you, at the very least, hitting up the tdm @ etraya! Chrissy's been there for about six months and would be simultaneously excited and worried to see Fio again. ♡
