March 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.


The meme is for fiction-based RP only (with the only exception being involvement of fictionalized historical figures or historical settings.) Celeb or RPF RP advertising, whether for games or players, is not allowed.

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.

I have replied!

Canon point is very vague because I just handwaved so if you want to be more specific by all means go ahead!

Let me know if anything about it doesn't work for you or you want me to change something :)

if you're okay with ocs, i can offer this lady for caleb and actual sibling aus? in her story she's incredibly devoted to and attached to her older sister, so can def transfer that over and amplify that. my knowledge of love and deepspace is mostly osmosis via threading with other lads... lads but can still maybe au her into that, or au into her setting (modern + supernatural basically) if that's easier, if you're interested!

i have so much interest (for normal reasons). i love the idea of gortav, too - are you imagining him in a time loop deal where he has complete memories of his minor act 3 dictatorship but is stuck having to work with the very idiots who defeated him? because that is inspired tbh.
closeyourfist: (Default)

[personal profile] closeyourfist 2025-03-09 06:11 pm (UTC)(link)
(Very normal reasons.) And yes, that is the basic premise exactly. All his memories (tho some things he can't seem to say, like someone is preventing him from throwing out spoilers or something), and like. He looks the same. He sounds the same. He has the same name. Nobody recognizes him, or it takes a lot of convincing. Like I definitely do see him eventually getting Karlach to believe him and she promptly punched him in the face so there's that.

(Think the "Ben is Glory" conundrum in Buffy.)
lasthorizon: (especially because)

[personal profile] lasthorizon 2025-03-09 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
If she sticks that's 100% where I was going to go with this, and if I knew you'd see this I wouldn't have written something. I was actually talking to Jin about me and surprises but now you'll see me coming? I was going to pull a Yuzu in 2 months. Toplevel, NOT tell you, wait and see how long it takes before you noticed because it's funny.

...well, it's okay. Best laid plans and all.

EVERYONE IS SO MEAN TO ME..........???

Also I was linked this by someone else... I never look at EMP so your plan was foiled by outside intervention. That being said, I'm sure you can still get away with doing that because im very, very very observant......

Oh, this looks right up my various alleys! I will definitely keep it in mind when the tdm is up. (I was actually thinking of trying to make a Severance-bsed game or musebox sometime in the future but this takes all the effort out of my hands lmao.)

[personal profile] lanceboard 2025-03-09 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
okay yes, that's hilarious and fun, i desperately need benver glortash in my life.

(also side note but as someone with hypermobility, your permissions mentioning his splints and cane is blowing my miiiind.)

tough decision time! would you prefer a) an overly devoted wizard who will probably object to his life choices but be enraptured by his intelligence, or b) the drow who will be far more supportive of his moral position but also more likely to step on him just for being a man.

Bioshock Infinite + cross canon, One Piece, Fallout

[personal profile] uncaging 2025-03-09 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[Offering]:
Nefertari Vivi | One Piece | [personal profile] regal_azure
Elizabeth | Bioshock Infinite | [personal profile] uncaging
Nora / Sole Survivor | Fallout 4 | [personal profile] geiger

[Looking For]:
Vivi:
→ Castmates, both animanga and live action! For specific characters: all Straw Hats, Crocodile, Ace, Law, Doflamingo, Blackbeard, Katakuri.
→ I love AUs, and I have a few concepts I'd love to thread out. Most of these are along the lines of 'what if the Straw Hats didn't come to Alabasta' and range from making alliances with other characters, to arranged marriages, to full-on villain AUs.

Elizabeth
→ Looking specifically for cross-canon, either by AUing Elizabeth into another setting or having her arrive in other worlds with her tear-making powers.
→ I would love to play against other historical characters, whether of Elizabeth's own era or otherwise.
→ Currently I'm playing Baldur's Gate 3 and would love to thread her with Gale and Astarion.

Nora:
→ Any castmates, either from games or the TV show, or characters AU'd into the Fallout setting! It's been a long time since I've played her properly and I'm a bit rusty, but I really miss playing in the Fallout setting.

[preferences]:
→ Shipping/smut/gen all welcome
→ Would potentially app any of them to a game, but still just dipping my toe back into RP at the moment
→ I am in GMT so replies may be on the slower side

Offering
★ Aether | Genshin Impact

Seeking:
★ mainly shipping, but gen is okay, too
★ would love a long term psl or a series of psls/memes, but one time things are also totally fine with me!
★ cross-canon is loved, even if I don't know the canon
★ favourites for shipping are: Childe, Thoma, Lyney, Kaeya, Diluc, Kaveh, Heizou, Xiao, Kazuha, Tighnari, Furina and Gorou.
Anyone else would also be great!
Cross-canon ships are amazing, let's do it.
★ scenarios: I love AUs of all kind: fantasy, modern, royalty, vampire, the list is very long! Canon divergence and all kinds of "what-if" scenarios are also great. Another favourite is hurt/comfort and generally sad/angst stuff with a happy ending
★ slow burn is good, too!

Notes:
★ I am not really interested in smut unless it'll be as sappy as possible. I prefer ftb if things get too heated up
★ I'm in Europe
★ I try to tag at least once a day
★ If you're interested just contact me here or send me a dm! Would love to exchange discords to chat as well!

Playing fast and loose with canon is how I roll XD

That sounds good to me! Also if you're up for it that would be lovely, I was thinking Prom getting hit with it but could happily go the other way round if you'd rather?

Hahaha, I did hear of a Severance-based game a while back, but I don't know if it ever opened up applications or if it's on hold until further notice. It was over at [community profile] lumon.

I have it in my head that Withers might be the reason why this is his life, now. Just sorta snatching Chosens out from under his inept predecessors. No soul for you, get fucked Bane. But deprogramming from a cult takes time. And maybe some preternatural meddling.

Weirdly when I play BG3 with this character Gale tends to be one of the first to really gravitate toward him. But that I think is because he's an Artificer, so they're both INT-based. (Artificers are just wizards with a hoarding problem, lbr.) So I'd be down to see where that goes.

I definitely would have ended up finding it then I think dkhfskjhf. Too bad it appears to have never gone anywhere! Maybe it'll get a second life.

hi! c:

i've seen you around but i've been reluctant to hit you up because genderbends aren't really everyone's cup of tea lol. but if you're ever interested and okay with slow and sporadic (just had a tiny human so i'm only tagging when i can and at weird hours) i'd love to do something sometime.

Curse you third party person da linkerrrrrrrrrr! Curse you! I could've successfully apped in 100% without Yak's knowledge but the full knowledge of literally everyone else which could've been so funny!

Fortunately, the passage of time is to my advantage. In two months, you're bound to have forgotten, and - should the voice stick - I can creep in through the back window like a sneak thief and you'll be feeling personally attacked once again. The gift that keeps on giving!

I hope so! I'm rooting for them. But until then, Lab of Nature is my home game, in part because I'm one of the head mods. So if you have any questions about it, hit me up!

X-MCU at Pixie Led

[personal profile] valle 2025-03-09 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[game]: [community profile] pixieledooc
[fandom]: X-Men Cinematic Universe (or comics, or MCU, the line gets blurry live your best life)
[game's current cast]: We have a long list of all of the above, but for X-MCU we've got Laura (X-23), John Allerdyce (Pyro), & Erik Lehnsherr (Magneto) with a few perspectives that have mentioned TDMing this coming round!
[who I play]: Laura — currently Logan era, but with plans to update her to Deadpool & Wolverine era in 9 or 10 months!
[wanted]: I'd love to see anyone, but my heart would go out to a Logan. I'm not particularly fussed about which iteration, original flavor, DOFP era, Worst Wolverine, Logan (2017) era, I'd be content with dadverine from any timeline!
[game info]: Pixie Led is a relatively new, recently opened dark fantasy / dark fairy tale game that takes place in the Fae realm. Characters join one of the Seelie or Unseelie courts, and there is the option to gain powers from this! It has a check-in AC, and the TDM goes up on the 15th! It is invite only, but you can request mod invites as long as you provide some summary of your RP history and/or your contact info in the request!

Oh, good to know, I edited the dramatic (b)rant accordingly.

Can you imagine the look on Yak's face? First, Novas toplevels on the tdm without mentioning it. Then I do it.
cookandstab: (Default)

[personal profile] cookandstab 2025-03-09 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Me too! lol. DC canon especially is so huge I just cherry pick what I like.

Prom getting hit is good with me. Do you have a top level there?

I was literally just working on an ad for this guy looking for other Fallout castmates, and not even necessarily ones from 4 in particular, so this was exciting to see!

Would you be interested in tossing some stuff around with Nora and Danse? I'm also down for shipping/smut/gen/whatever develops naturally, and I really like the thought of just messing around in the Commonwealth playing out travels and quests and whatever you might want to do.
