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.

Mikeeeeyyyyy

Over at [community profile] folkmore we've got three brothers, April, Casey Sr and Casey Jr who are sorely missing baby bro Mikey if you wanted to take a look!

No power nerfs, plenty of characters of all ages to interact with, and characters fall into one of three sortings (legend/heroic characters, myth/villainous characters, and familiars/neutral characters) that add their own power flairs. I've been in the game for a while now so I can answer questions if you want/need!

Editing this to add because I forgot: there's also a Leo at [community profile] pixieled (no power nerfs, characters are stuck in the fae realm), and a Donnie at [community profile] synflux (I'm not sure about powers, but scifi setting where characters are fighting kaiju as missions) that would also be equally thrilled to have you! I know both players and they're absolute gems to thread with.

That is an absurd cast list, wow. I will poke around and maybe DM you if I have questions. Thank you for all the recs!
neonleon: <user name="spaceconfessional"> (smile - okay that sounds good)

[personal profile] neonleon 2025-03-10 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
Of course, any time! I hope you find the game that's fitting what you're looking for, our cast or not! Every game needs a good Mikey

A Raph bias is the best bias

Thank you for the rec, I will definitely take a look!
supersmashbro: (baby on board)

[personal profile] supersmashbro 2025-03-11 11:05 am (UTC)(link)
rad! i can also second that the rise players in other games are all great to bounce off of and very good people, so like no matter what you do w mikey i think you're gonna have a great time! it's his time to shine, take this:

beautiful, thank you. Something something Rise if Mikey had a gun, but it's just how long it takes the others to get it away from him.

I'm (pleasantly!) surprised by the number of turtles out there, and appreciate everyone being so nice and helpful ❤️

THIRD BROTHER SLIDE-IN i alllsssooo would vote for Folkmore because I'M there LMAO

its AC is check-in only!!! i personally love that, hate having to root around in my little threads box for proofs and count comments etc etc. BUT. if you ENJOY counting comments, there's an IC reward system for more active players where you can buy powers, bonds, things from home, etc!!!

TDM is here if you'd like to throw a comment up on there and see how we all gel, but there's also going to be a new one in mid-april if you'd rather wait a lil bit and get a fresh one (we will all still dogpile you no matter when you comment to the TDM i PROMISE)

SURPRISE FAMILY REUNION, hello

I haven't been in a proper game in forever, so the chill vibes do sound very nice! I'll keep an eye out for April's TDM.

Not sure if you use Plurk, but a lot of us are over there and the mod account will usually post when the TDM goes up at their account [plurk.com profile] folkie!

I'm just on Discord atm. Would you say most of the game's plotting is done via Plurk?
moseyin: (Default)

(hi yes it's me the donnie)

[personal profile] moseyin 2025-03-14 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
A lot of us use plurk, but a lot of ppl use Discord too. We also have a channel exclusively for the fam + very close CR to talk about stuff (that i.... am never on bc disc and i do not gel LMBFGVH). I would say it's an even split but the Leo up there would probably be a better authority on how much Disc is used

Hahaha sliding in here with a brother but in a different game. I play Donatello all on his lonesome over at [community profile] synflux. Powers get slightly nerfed (Donnie is limited in the size of what he can make with his ninpo for example) depending on how game breaking they are. It's a mission based game and characters are sorted into teams for said missions, to fight Kaiju. It's a cyber punk future world as well, and has a good amount of teenaged characters.

Uh, uh... what else. Sadly apps have closed until May, because I got to this too late, but there is an active test drive meme going on if you're interested? They need better than Donnie turtle rep.

EDIT: And I just see that the Leo upthread mentioned me, hahahaha.

I have faith in Donnie to leave nothing but the best impression of turtlekind.

The premise is fun, but it looks like the game might be edging pretty close to player cap? I'll see how things are shaking out next app round.

[personal profile] soft_shelled 2025-03-10 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
Hahahaha.

Yeah we got like, seven newcomers this app round out of having 15 slots available. But that can always change between rounds, yep. If you're still interested by May, I'll keep an eye out for you too.

(also gotta say, the Folkmore cast is great people, so no matter where you go Mikey'll be loved.)
