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.

The Big Two: been getting back into the swing of things RP-wise. I've read and reread a lot of omnibi and comics storylines centered on these characters over the past few years, and I dearly miss treating their respective universes like sandboxes. I'd love to keep exploring these characters' dynamics within different ships from below, mostly involving other Marvel/DC characters. With few exceptions - like the Young Justice show - I'd prefer writing these guys from their comics continuities. For the Batboys, I can write from Pre-52 and Rebirth. For Spidey, I write from 616. Prefs/permissions are in their respective journals.

The rest: these are just characters I've been meaning to voicetest whose canons I've wanted to write in recently. Got specific pairings I'm looking for, too. In the cases of older anime like Lodoss War and G Gundam, I just wanna know who's here. 😭

𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠
      Koriand'r / Starfire
      Barbara Gordon / Batgirl
      Wally West / Flash
Canon ships:
      Conner Kent / Superboy
      Stephanie Brown / Batgirl / Spoiler
Crosscanon ships:
      Anna from Frozen
      Ann Takamaki from Persona 5
      Hana Song / D.Va from Overwatch

These were some crosscanon interactions that - in the past - led to some great chemistry with Tim. I'd love to rekindle these dynamics and share the kool-aid w/ anyone who writes these specific characters 😭
      Mary Jane Watson (MY KINGDOM FOR ONE!!!)
      Felicia Hardy / Black Cat
      Johnny Storm / Human Torch
With Mark, I'm looking for an Eve to write with! I've read the comics all the way through and started catching up on the latest season. After voicetesting this guy a lot he continues to be super fun to write.
From the anime/manga I wanna voicetest Luffy against a Nami, somehow with some shipping involved? lol
I've got Sonic with mostly his Archie Comics characterization in mind (pre-Genesis Wave). Looking to write against a Sally Acorn just to feel something 😭
Hoping to voicetest Parn against a Deedlit! (though I'd need to find/make icons for him). Also got other fantasy characters I can throw at her from several complimentary canons (animanga, video games), so there's some other cool options.
Hoping to throw Domon at any Rain or Allenby that exists on here!

I play a lot of DC characters but prefer 2004/2005 era. But if you're okay with that (it's been so long I'm not clear on what 52 includes, but I frequently reread older comics), I have a ton, oh boy!

I tend to main:

Dick
Kon
Jenni
Wally

But I can play a lot!

I also play a lot of Spidey characters, though I prefer to play Ben Reilly. Would you be up for hijinks?

I'd say that's all safely before the New 52's inception in 2011, which is perfectly fine with me!

To start, what if I threw Dick and Tim at your Wally and Kon respectively?

We could just meme it up for now and/or write more dedicated things in a musebox. I'll throw together some toplevels sometime later and can PM you!

admittedly my comics familiarity is largely via rp osmosis, but i've had really cool experiences with both dick & tim in the past! i had dreams of playing hana back in the heydays of overwatch that never quite worked out, but if you're okay with me derusting and giving it another shot, i'm intrigued 👀

hey that would be great if you wanna give hana's voice another shot! she's defs capable of rich chemistry w/ either batboy. mind starting with hana & tim getting thrown at each other in memes? could be a quick/fun way to gauge their dynamic and all that. and see who's the better gamer idk

let me know if that works! i figured going straight to the world mid-robot apocalypse was a little much for the first thread, so i kept it closer to modern day / something vague and generic — but please feel free to add / change stuff as we go.
