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.

+ horror, sci-fi, transformation, trapped in x location, etc. anything where my character has to face some kind of challenge.
+ sexy would be loved, but not required!
+ large LA population
+ okay with some power-nerfing, but i'd want eddie to still have his alien buddy in some capacity, even if he can't do anything powers-wise 🥺

hear me out: fade rift is a game set in the dragon age universe.

no don't leave yet. there's a character in the latest dragon age game that i would describe as kind of fantasy venom. no one can see that guy but his host, but like, i think there's POTENTIAL to translate it in interesting ways. also the mods would probably let you keep some powers.

now that that's over with, the rest of the spiel (we would also welcome billy!!)

  • small plot-focused game set in a high fantasy-ish universe
  • on the slower end, mega backtag friendly, AC is a quarterly summary of what you did
  • you don't need to know anything about dragon age to play
  • characters can be jamjarred in through a magical rift between worlds
  • or be a native AU, if you do like dragon age
  • we have some MCUs, we've had DCUs, there are characters familiar with / who have feelings about the concept of superheroes
  • also mages in this universe sort of have superpowers and there's a lot of cultural and political debate around how to handle that
  • mostly all LA pbs, we have a few folks who draw or use vidya icons
  • nsfw is not required but again, people fuck
  • quarterly mod plot, smaller player-run missions, easy to take at your own pace

  • our current TDM is up over here if you decide to check us out. we all track it, so if you comment, we'll hit you up there. feel free to hmu with any questions if you're interested. the end

    YESSS i love mage/templar shit... multiple OCs level of love.

    anyway. would be thrilled to find out where he'd land on it over time. also half the part of the game that's into dragon age still hasn't played the fourth one yet, so you're all good.

    I'm one of the mods at [community profile] labofnaturerp! I feel like Lab could work for you.

    The setting is a futuristic scifi/fantasy lab. Characters are trapped in a lab being experimented on monthly. Occasionally a field trip out of lab can crop up as well. Characters are assigned rooms (and roommates if you wish) and dealing with the loss of control. Characters are put through the paces of isolation, experiments with varying levels of torments. Classic old RP tropes come up as well for respite from the IC trauma. There is a good mix of canon mediums, including LA. We have a solid amount of MCU present. The pace is medium-slow, and everyone is very backtag friendly.

    Powers are nerfed, but, Venom would be able to stay with Eddie and color commentate on happenings. We have another character in game with a similar situation who has their character argue with their own symbiote like friend.

    It is an invite game, but we're always open for folks coming up and asking for an invite to join! The April/May Test Drive goes up on April 10th. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to DM me!
