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.

love and deepspace, ensemble stars (seeking crosscanon!)

[personal profile] endlessummer 2025-03-09 08:03 am (UTC)(link)
caleb | love and deepspace

  • golden boy who dreams of being a pilot and is secretly in love with his adoptive sister/childhood friend depending on the loc. after a freak (???) explosion, he became the winter soldier. at work, he's a ruthless colonel, but at home, he's her stupid big brother. he has gravity powers and was experimented on as a child. more info here.

  • genre: sci-fi but l&d has multiple universes/timelines, so we can do any kind of AU. i'm flexible.


  • seeking

  • SHIPPING. In canon, Caleb spends most of his time trying to be the MC's reliable, protective older brother, which often prevents him from openly pursuing her romantically.

    Therefore, I want to ship Caleb with your character if you are willing to AU your character as his adoptive sibling/childhood friend that he grew up with. I am 100% down for actual sibling incest AUs, too — I actually prefer it because those are the vibes in canon lol. I can AU Caleb into your canon, or we can AU yours into his.

    No one-sided pining, no casual incestuous sex. I only want to ship with characters who can match Caleb's freak! I'm open to other dynamics, though! Talk to me.

  • SMUT. Always up for this, but I would rather have some buildup or know our characters' dynamics before we write this. Open to kink because I think Caleb is nasty, but honestly, the taboo is already enough for me.

  • PREFERENCES. m/f, m/m, m/*, all are welcome. Long-term PSLs are loved.

  • Prioritizing cross-canon characters, just because it's more fun for me. MC and other Love and Deepspace characters are also welcome, though! I like what-if scenarios.


  • rinne amagi | ensemble stars!!

  • sweet and smart boy from the country ran away from home to become an idol. his first idol era flopped, so for his comeback, he went wild. he likes gambling and pretending to be a leech and a manwhore. the city did this to him...

    it's all a ruse, though. he feels trapped by everyone's expectations, so he constantly seeks to break them; he just wants to sing, make people happy, and be loved for it. more info here.

  • genre: idol, but his background is a little crazy. he's the firstborn son of an ainu-inspired village chief, so royalty AUs are VERY easy.


  • seeking

  • SHIPPING. For canonmates, I'm always looking for a Hiiro or Niki to ship with. Those two are my favorites. I am open to anyone in canon except the ones listen in his journal. For cross-canon, I'm open to a variety of dynamics! He's drawn to outcasts and those who struggle between duty and desire. He can (pretend) to be a bully if your character needs to be bullied/pestered into being loved. I'm very open to assumed CR, but I can also wing it; he's used to rolling with the punches. Fair warning, though: his brocon might come out because he's a freak.

    I especially like the antagonistic, highly inappropriate tension he has with his straight-laced, goody-two-shoes brother in the first half of the main story, so I always, always want to write something like that. I also want to write angsty fluff.

  • SMUT. Always up for this, but I would rather have some buildup or know our characters' dynamics beforehand. Rinne is mostly vanilla, but I'm open to kink.

  • PREFERENCES. m/*. He doesn't care and I don't either. Long-term PSLs would be excellent.


  • other info

  • TIMEZONE. GMT+8

  • SPEED. 2-7 days, feel free to poke me if you want to continue. I probably just forgot.

  • STYLE. Brackets but I'll match you. If I'm fast on our text thread but not on our longer action thread, It's because I'm on my phone. I like writing introspection, so I will be slow.

  • COMMUNICATION. PM, but I can toss you my Discord if that's easier.

    [personal profile] crisantemo 2025-03-09 06:05 pm (UTC)(link)
    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!

    [personal profile] endlessummer 2025-03-10 07:32 am (UTC)(link)
    We can try them out! Do you have a meme toplevel I can tag into? Tell me more about her and let's see what we can cook up.
    crisantemo: (keep your eye on the edge of the forest)

    [personal profile] crisantemo 2025-03-10 10:33 am (UTC)(link)
    i've got her either at rain meme or texting, whichever is easier!

    so basic gist of lapis is that she's an old cosmic beings experiment with having a human family, so lapis has inherited some of those powers from her """grandma""" after they skipped a generation and has been raised and trained to deal with the worlds horrors. her parents were unnerved by her, but her older sibling was the only one who still loved and doted on her. lapis is the withdrawn but very stubborn sort, but also incredibly affection starved so anything shown her way she latches onto - with a dash of sometimes violent protectiveness. the setting is one without any strict rules or anything, so could def say caleb inherited something too or there was a freak accident and he came back like in canon!

    (also if you wanna add more co-dependency to this, i noticed caleb is the same age as her so cooooould maybe be fraternal twins? and he still claims big brother title by being first. otherwise can age her down a couple of years!)

    also offering an OC (this one or another, who has more supernatural vibes to her story, happy to AU either of them into the L&D universe) for either adoptive siblings or actual siblings. technically thalia has no siblings that she knows of, but i'm happy to change that. she's definitely the type to match his freak, obsessive and clingy, unwilling to let go. my other OC wasn't experimented on but has supernatural things going on, died and came back Weird (and now is unable to die and is reckless with that) but is spoiled and clingy and obsessive about her people.

    Ooh! Would she let Caleb manipulate her, though? HAHA We can try them out on a meme and see how it goes! Do you have a toplevel anywhere? Let me know what else I need to know and once I have a better idea, I can tag into it sometime tomorrow.

    [personal profile] astralnavigator 2025-03-11 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
    Oh, she'd definitely let Caleb manipulate her. I've got a top level on the rain meme & gen texting.

    basically, she's a pilot taking on jobs as a courier/smuggler (when the times are hard), and she's trying to lay low because she betrayed her foster parent and basically brought down their empire. in an l&d universe, she'd probably have a similar story to Caleb minus the powers, and definitely not going in the farspace fleet direction. she likes the thrill of flying though, so definitely a pilot still, unlikely to work in anything too close to the hunter association or military.

    hello! I fell into Fields of Mistria this weekend and haven't hit up my inbox yet, but I wanted to say that I'm enjoying our tfln thread and would be down to clown with some messy au... A2's a Nier character and so unfortunately pseudo/actual incest and overall imbalanced/unhealthy dynamics are well suited for her, haha. i only know of lads through fandom osmosis but I love AUs so I'm up for brainstorming and working either in the vague tfln universe or trying something else!
    endlessummer: (Default)

    [personal profile] endlessummer 2025-03-10 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
    Hi! Don't worry about it, I've been getting sucked into my other hobbies too LOL

    Oh man, I love our tfln thread right now HAHA. It's great that A2's learning about humanity from this fucked up guy. I was liking our tfln idea of Caleb opening up to A2 about his insecurities and thoughts! In his head, he's thinking, "fuck it, I need therapy and this is a robot, I can destroy it any time" but he also has to protect A2 with his life now, so... he did this to himself lmao. I think we can do a good slowburn from there; it also has a lot of potential for some good fucked up shit to happen. 😌

    But ALSO... How do you feel about the idea of Caleb being raised alongside A2? The state of Caleb's mental health hinging upon ONE android is something I could definitely see happening. Caleb growing up and treating her like family... While being secretly in love with her because everyone is absolutely going to judge him for it... I love it. I'm not too familiar with Nier Automata but I'm willing to mash their canons together and make up some AU for them to work.

    We can brainstorm here because PMs suck if you're interested in any of these ideas! ✨
