May 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.

And we've got a cast who'd love either of your girls!

There's also a pretty big bats cast, if you're looking for a place for Starfire. The TDM just went up yesterday.

Thank you! It's very cool to see a Julian and a lot of the cast in general.

I'll have to look it over!

    There's a great Hazbin/Helluva cast at Caldera. Fresh TDM here: https://calderamemes.dreamwidth.org/2442.html Come check it out and see if you vibe! Or your Arcanes.

    Just selfishly but I'd LOVE to see a Washington. Check out Caldera, maybe? New tdm here https://calderamemes.dreamwidth.org/2442.html and you can try it out, maybe? There is bimonthly metaplot but tons of SOL opportunities!

    The Silt Verses @ Escordvi

    [personal profile] withermarked 2025-06-04 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
    [game]: [community profile] escordvi
    [fandom]: The Silt Verses
    [game's current cast]: Faulkner
    [who I play]: Faulkner!
    [wanted]: Sister Carpenter! I'd also love a Paige, since he misses Paige! Or a Hayward, or a Val because I love Val even though she and Faulk never met. Looking for Carp especially, though.
    [game info]: Escordvi is a semi-private, very choose-your-own-adventure game set largely on boats and the backs of island-size creatures. It has a very fun quest system, reward system, and AC is only a five-tag thread. Game info is here and the next TDM is on June 14!

    As for Faulkner: he is (essentially) post-canon, and while still something of a mess he is doing... surprisingly well in a setting that isn't human-sacrifice-powered-capitalism-hell, and one that's been giving him a lot of positive reinforcement for behaving like a halfway stable human being.

    He has a volunteer job and a big monster dog. I desperately need to see how Carp reacts to this, whether she's proud or resents him having nice things. I desperately need to play a sibling reunion in general! Carpenter's awful little brother misses her.

    This is like a month late and ugh I WISH I could offer you a game that suited you because HOLY SHIT ASTRID...but I only play Caleb at Duplicity and while there is...some plot, it's very plot lite unfortunately.

    but also holy shit astrid.

    (I do know that a friend plays Caleb at Golden Peacock, which does offer more plot opportunities!!)

    This is so funny but I'm actually at gp and my character got widogasted even though I was 98% canonblind at the time so it's very much Al's fault that I worked my way through c2 and discovered Astrid in the first place.

    It's tough to find sex games that also give an excuse to write things like combat but lol the hope is always there. Mostly I'm just reluctant to try to put her in a straight-up sex game before I've gotten a better feel for writing her.

    [personal profile] breadmuffs 2025-06-05 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
    Oh, hah, that's amazing!

    Also very understandable and legit. I hope you find a good place to put her!

    [community profile] faderift hits a lot of these beats and might be up your alley! it’s a dragon age AU game that allows characters from other canons to be ‘rifted’ into the thedas universe through the fade (hence the name) and is heavy on character-driven plot with room for characters to settle in and build lives they care enough about to get involved in the plot. it also skews older in the cast with a lot of thirty- and fortysomethings; she’d mostly be surrounded by peers. character powers need to be adapted/balanced for the setting, and our mods are really good with working with people to preserve what’s most interesting or a key element (and we’ve been around so long it’s reasonably easy to get a feel for what the ballpark is glancing over past apps).

    our current tdm is here and always open; current players track new top levels so folks don’t get missed no matter how old it gets.

    best of luck finding a fit!

    [community profile] folkmore has Wolfwood (hi, me) and Vash right now. It will have a new TDM later this month. The app cycle is at the end of the month, so you could do June or July, depending what works best for you.

    I love Wolfwood and Zazie's dynamic in canon, and I'd love to see them interact!

    I'm literally on the bus to the airport rn but I had to say I'm definitely interested!

    Malevolent | John/Arthur (mostly) (light spoilers in here)

    [personal profile] seeingeyegod 2025-06-09 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
    [Where]: PSL
    [who I play]: John or Arthur, could go either way, also possibly Yellow if you want.
    [wanted]: Whichever one of the above you'd prefer to pick up!
    [why]: Look, I just really love some bodyshare, xeno, complicated emotions, and consentacles, and I'm down to write it from either perspective. I'm just obsessed with two guys horribly enmeshed with each other where one is a terrifying creature and the other is a fragment of the King in Yellow--
    [game/psl info]: Canon compliant stuff is great, I love some season 4 jealousy, I'd adore some Dark World shenanigans (I love when a guy gets better and also when he gets So Much Worse) (and what exactly did John do in the bone citadel when he was angry hmmmmmm???), and any/all awful nonsense with Yellow being closer to the original King but ten times as messy. Only things I'm definitely not interested in are human!AUs or getting separate bodies where everyone involved is fully human right off the bat. Let's make it weird.

    Still setting the journal up, please excuse the mess

    Time somehow keeps passing, what the heck.

    And if you're still interested, the new TDM is live today! Check it out here!

    Hope you had a safe flight! Folkmore's a multi-genre game focused on character development/potential. There's a lot of info pages, but I'm happy to answer any questions.

    Look, I played Ultimecia for an event, I don't judge the weird in this canon.

    We did get some decent art of this jackwagon from the cardboard crack tho, he was the only character I cared about.

    Ultimecia is someone. Nida is not.

    I am so sad that they didn't give ff8 cards firebreathing to simulate junctions.

    ersatzknight: (I might be convinced...)

    Re: FFVIII

    [personal profile] ersatzknight 2025-06-15 11:43 am (UTC)(link)
    Nida is too people, he's more people than Zell Xu! I've played with a Nida back a million million years ago.

    I'm okay with them not doing that really.

    Hahaha I've been playing nida for what feels like a million million years. All the way back on LJ

    Also, nice zell burn.

    Firebreathing is fun in red weenie thooooo. But yeah i get it too. Just sad over lack of Selphie and Irvine.

    ...I've been playing Seifer since then. For a hot minute I was in the ff8 LJ game with Seifer being a weaponsmith (and then it just Died like... a few months after I joined.)

    Oh, Irvine has the best art in 'Absorb into Time', his face is very "SOMEHOW THIS IS YOUR FAULT SQUALL."

    [personal profile] cross_swords 2025-06-15 12:36 pm (UTC)(link)

    Alas I don't think I was around for that (but my memory can be shit). I would have loved it. Mostly I did smaller games run by friends that were more jam jar. And I love Seifer becoming a weapon smith as a path. Like, SO MUCH. Ah now I'm just thinking back to AIM groups with friends. So much nostalgia. Alas looking up old friends would be hard, especially given my handle has changed over the years.

    Oh man I gotta go relook at that card.

    Re: FFVIII

    [personal profile] ersatzknight 2025-06-15 12:48 pm (UTC)(link)
    It was fun, we had a Nida which is why I mentioned it lol.

    Seifer deserves to have something good going for him, and the way that ff8 weapons get made really does suit his skillset. He can go womp on a morbol for tentacles to make things, and would be actually crazy enough to consider messing with a tonberry.

    It's so good, he's just in the bottom of it!

    Also damn, I... want to throw someone at your seifer now XD I have.... uuuhhh... some ff7 morons, and Kingdom Hearts. Blaming Time Compression is an eternal thing really.
