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.

Ahaha, thank you Renne! Don't worry, I've been staying out of trouble! [ Mostly. ]

Have you now? I must say I'm a little disappointed.

Er... well... (cough) I suppose I could say that I've been involved in a little trouble here and there... there is one place I visited called Kishima - but I'm sure you're seeing your fair share of entertainment too, right?

I've found many ways to keep myself occupied, but as you well know a lady must be discerning with the things she shares~

Oh, yes of course! And I don't think I have to worry about you being in danger. Eheh I might worry for the other party more, actually.

[ Even with what little she knew about Renne's past, she knew full well an angry Renne was a scary thing. Especially when she didn't act angry. That was her at her most dangerous! ]

So how have you enjoyed your time away? Have you found anyone new or is Arkride still your one and only?

It's been.. interesting. Luckily the situation doesn't trap me in one place, so I don't have to worry about everyone worrying about me being missing and --

{ HEYheyheyhey! You can't just SAY that where anyone can hear it with their ears! ]

Ahem~~! Y-you really do like teasing me too much Renne! [ Not an ~answer~ totally isn't still crushing on Van noooooo ]

It's good that you aren't trapped, breaking into places to rescue you can be bothersome at times, especially since Arkride is nowhere to be found.

As it appears I've rather hit my mark, haven't I? You're so cute, Agnes.

ahah, I know - the last thing I want is to burden you or any of the others, so it is relieving.

[ Not her going pink at the mention of Van, no doubt to Renne's eternal amusement. ]

Aw, Renne, please... you know as well as I do he doesn't see me the same way. We're just friends, that's all.. [ ;o; #forever alone. ]

The burden lies on those who would wish you ill, or at least will when I'm finished with them~

And yes, it's true Van does see us as children. He is a rather fine man so your tastes aren't wrong, but you'll have an uphill battle on that one. I'd recommend you seek fine men among your peers but... I suppose that's easier said than done.

[ That's right Albert you aren't good enough for her Agnes. ]

It's okay! There isn't anyone like that trying to put me in danger or anything, I'm fine..!

[ Whether that STAYS that way remains to be seen given Agnes' penchant for wanting to help people. Though augh the blushing ain't going away anytime soon. It must be obvious to everyone -but- Van for all of his perceptiveness. There are people out there with 15, 20 even 40+ age gaps, 8 years isn't that bad, right? At this rate she'll be an old maid at 20 before he looked her way ;.; ]

He.. doesn't give himself enough credit for how kind he really is.

[ But she understood why, and it was the small gestures that she appreciated in him. Though Renne suggesting she seek someone else among her group HA. ]

Haha, it's fine, I'm not interested in anyone my own age --er, looking, I mean. Besides, we still have to find the final Genesis.

[ Yes, let's chaaaaaange the subject! And Listen even if Van WASN'T in the picture Albert wouldn't be good enough :D ]

Since when have you ever needed someone to put you in danger? You're quite good at doing that yourself, you know.

[ Her gaze is stern, but also amused, honestly. ]

Arkride loves to play at being some morally ambiguous antihero, but he's honestly quite terrible at it. It's adorable. He IS reliable though, he'll find you that Genesis. And who knows, maybe he'll even find you a decent partner once he and Ms. Auclair figure things out.

[ Yeah, she's going to twist that knife a bit. Sorry hun, but you're a big girl now you can't run from reality ]

Do you really think so? [ She grinned a little sheepishly. ]

I guess I can't really help myself.. I want to give back to people who need help too. And I don't want to continue being oblivious to what the world is really like. I don't doubt for a second that Van will be able to find the Genesis - I thought it was a miracle we found even one. It's a miracle we've tracked down as many as we have.

[ Oof. OW. RIGHT in the FEELS and straight from the feels to her Heart, she thought you were her bestie Renne ;.; ]

That's all right, I wouldn't want to put him through that..! Once he finds the last Genesis he'll probably.. [ Probably cut things off with her himself since he was only helping her because she hired him. ]

.....

[ She just wilts a little. He might get back with Elaine, if she makes the effort to understand him the way the others do. And she was closer to Van in age and history. No, Agnes wasn't running from reality, she knew there was a good chance he still held a candle for the Bracer. ]

[ Renne's expression softens, she can never be TOO hard on Agnes, the girl is just too precious. ]

I'd say it's occurred so frequently it isn't so much a miracle at this point, but a sign of your own dedication. Don't discount your own contributions. Arkride certainly doesn't, which is why I think you two will have a long future together once the Genesis business is concluded. Aidios knows he can't take care of himself.

[ Upsetting Agnes is a little like kicking a small animal. You shouldn't do it, and you're a monster if you do! :D ]

I hope you're right. The last thing I want to do is drag him down, and I owe him so much I could never even begin to repay him - or you for that matter! [ Renne was the one to connect her to him, after all! She does laugh at the last. ]

He does have a habit of not asking people for help, doesn't he? [ Tsk tsk, she was if nothing else, going to make sure he didn't fall back into those habits of pushing everyone away. ]

My own selfishness aside... what I want most for him is to be happy. [ Even if it wasn't with her. ] So I'll keep supporting him and helping him as long as he lets me, and if that goes on after we find the last Genesis, then I will be happy with that.

[ Happier if he acknowledged her, but the priority was his feelings not hers. ]

[ Oh Agnes, you're so adorable. Renne chuckles in spite of herself. ]

As if you could ever drag Arkride down. I'd be more concerned over the reverse. I can only provide so much cover for you, you know.

And as to his habit of not asking for help... it's certainly a problem. One you should keep in mind. I'd hate to see you picking up his bad habits. That man can be happy with steady income, a good drink and that truck of his so I'd focus more on your own happiness. You need to be able to live your own life too.

[ She's back to smiles at that, chuckling in turn. ]

Yes, after all once you graduate I'll still have to figure things out - [ THIS year actually, now that she thought about it. Well she'd figure it out. She'd have to! ]

Of course, once I graduate it won't be an issue any longer .. but hopefully it won't take that much longer to find the final Genesis... [ She smiled, shaking her head. ]

But not to worry. I told Van the same thing - I'll not lose who *I* am even if I'm exposed to the seedier sides of the city or bad habits that people have. I know not to forget to ask people for help if I need it. [ She giggles at bit. ]

A steady income, a good drink, the Ingert and his sweets - we can't forget that last one. But ever since I've been working with Van and the others, I feel like my life is more fulfilling now that I'm starting to see things clearly. It's a little embarrassing how much I didn't know.

I have every confidence you'll figure it out. Best get this Genesis business wrapped up now though, right? While I can still cover for you. You'll probably see a lot of things you'd prefer not to, but that's how we grow isn't it.

[ She shrugs ]

I can and will forget the sweets, you don't need to spoil him like that. It can't be good for him. But if this partnership is something you find fulfilling, then I'm glad I introduced you two.

Yes, of course! [ Probably once they wrap things up with the Genesis a whole slew of new problems will pop up, but she's not going to think about that. ]

I've prepared myself to see things I would probably rather not.. it's why I thought it was best to get help from him, over the Bracers or the Police.

[ Snerk. Oh come on Renne! ]

Heehee, one or two sweets every once in a while isn't a terrible thing, everyone should be able to indulge in at least one treat now and then. But really I owe you, Renne!

Of course it is. The Bracers might have the manpower, but they'd balk and the police, well, the less said there the better. Arkride will make sure it gets done. Eventually, anyway.

And if you think it's "every once in a while" you should go find his stash.

Now that's hardly fair, many of them do do the best they can with what minimal manpower they have.

[ Sure there were some who were corrupt, some who were just jackasses, but to dismiss their efforts was inaccurate. ]

But you're right about one thing, they are restricted to working within the law like the Bracers are.

[ So while the police and bracers were ~~kind of assholes~~ turning their nose up at working with 'criminal factors', Van got things done by taking that opportunity. She still had somewhat mixed feelings on that, but she knew the necessity of bending the rules and finding loopholes. She does giggle a little at mention of the stash though, looking a little mischievous. ]

Oh I already know about it.

[ Nothing wrong for him to have a stash of candy and sweets as long as he took care of his teefies and kept in shape, which he did. ]
