April 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.
dysmorphics: (✯ 002.)

mcu, the prophecies of ragnarok + crosscanon, ocs, mythos

[personal profile] dysmorphics 2025-04-13 01:29 pm (UTC)(link)
OFFERING ▷
— r!63 steve rogers, mcu [personal profile] dysmorphics
— hel, the prophecies of ragnarok [personal profile] sinne

SEEKING ▷
in general:
— canon mashing, fix its, filling in the blanks, what ifs, worldbuilding, timey-wimey and/or multiverse shenanigans
— shipping is great but family and gen shenanigans will be just as loved
— for canon mashing, some of my favorites include star wars, game of thrones/house of the dragon, the great library, the hunger games, the bifrost incident, riordanverse, the magnus archives. though honestly just drag me into your canon, as long as you don't mind me wiki-ing things as we go along!

for steph:
— exploring the changes brought about by her au, mainly that she's now a gal and she doesn't leave and just gets depressed after endgame
— other aus: captain carter au, winter soldier au, what if she didn't get iced, tva au where she gets grabbed because she tries to use the time stone to change things, playing the steve variant in the timeline they steal the scepter from and thus going to bust bucky out of siberia lol
— shipping: bucky, sam, nat, peggy, other castmates 30+ and if they vibe, crosscanon, ocs

for hel:
— canon mashing with other norse myth canons, or just myth-related canons in general. medieval fantasy works too, if you need a goddess or a princess/queen or something to that effect
— would love love family stuff! i can adjust and au her accordingly
— shipping: hodr, crosscanon, ocs

ETC ▷
— i'm very very slow these days because of newborn mama life, and tags might come at random hours
— i frequent texting memes because texts are easy for me as i phonetag 99% of the time, but i love being able to use text threads to move things forward
— i tend to write out of order and can't just do one thread, my brain gets bored i'm sorry :c
— i like for things to organically develop instead of plotting stuff out to the last detail
— i love making multiple au lines for a cr/ship i really really like so uhhhh
— i can write smut but i prefer to focus on the emotional side of it
— i mostly write in brackets these days because my tired brain tends to see only walls of text in prose tags. so if you want prose i'm happy to do it, i'll just be even slower i'm sorry ;;
— comment here or dm this journal or pp [plurk.com profile] notanybunny to contact ♥

So I'm a little rusty, but I have generic myth Loki here and I also have a Fenrir ([personal profile] ragnarokwolf) so I'd love to do some family stuff if you'd like :)

[personal profile] dysmorphics 2025-04-13 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
omg hiii, either or both will be great! :) i don't have a generic myth hel journal (only an mcu au one [personal profile] franfalle lol) but i can do that version and just use one of my journals haha! maybe loki visits her before he gets chained up? or if you have any other ideas.

if you want to play more to her canon... one major thing is odin basically held her hostage as a child, so she grew up on asgard as odin's ward (i have [personal profile] erfingja for that). she's mad at loki because she believes her dad gave her up and chose his "brotherhood" with odin over his blood family, even though odin's family turned on theirs in the past and all that. while her brother biting off tyr's hand was an accident; he was cornered and bullied by thor, vidar and tyr while visiting hel on asgard, triggering his shapechanging for the first time.

I'm really flexible with Loki in terms of whens and whys so I'm happy to work around her canon or just handwave whatever we feel like, he can just show up whenever and she can be angry at him lol.

And oooh boy, Fenrir is so mad about the whole Tyr thing, they agreed he could bite off the hand if they didn't let him go and they didn't let him go, they can't be mad at him for literally doing what they told him he could do!!! Also, that's such a sad version that he snapped while being bullied, poor baby!

Anyway that... Was not helping I'm basically up for anything lol. We could find a meme that gives us some inspiration and just run with it or something?

[personal profile] dysmorphics 2025-04-16 02:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Bakerstreet is so shippy/smut heavy, I tried to look through the recent memes but didn't really find one that called out to me. Maybe we can start with a jamjar of sorts and I'll have Hel portal over to the generic myth universe? Before she's banished orrrr well she got yeeted to the wrong realm hahaha

The random scenario meme is up if we want to do it there, or would you prefer an open post on her journal?
theliesmith: (Default)

[personal profile] theliesmith 2025-04-17 09:24 am (UTC)(link)

It is a bit, though I always tend to find it's gen memes when I want shipping and shipping memes when I want gen, lol.

Hel portaling into generic myth works for me! Yeeted or otherwise lol.

Either place is fine, if you have a preference

I think I'm vibing Fenrir slightly more rn, but if you'd prefer to start with Loki I can do that no worries

[personal profile] dysmorphics 2025-04-18 09:21 am (UTC)(link)
Fenrir's great! I'm not picky and I love sibling shenanigans anyway lol I even play a lot of twins. Anyway there's a tavern meme, I think that's a pretty safe place to start. I'll set something up today and come back here with a link :D
