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.

Offering:

Renoir


Seeking:

- Open to most things! But am especially interested in psychological threads that explore character issues and experiences.
- This includes alternate scenarios and canon expansion. Like scenes we read about in journals that happen before the game.
- Family dynamics and themes. This is a spoiler so I'm not mentioning names but I am all over it.
- Crosscanon characters who fit. Especially fantasy ones like Metaphor.
- General memes for voicetesting.


Notes:

- GMT time zone. Tagging speed varies between days but I try to tag daily.
- If any casts are eying a TDM or a game let me know.
- If you want to hit me up for PSL ideas feel free to ask for Plurk, etc.

hello! i know this is funny coming from a gustave journal and all, but someone who plays maelle linked me this and asked "SHOULD WE??" — because we got a small cast of clairs planning to tdm+app into an upcoming game. we have gustave, maelle, verso, and very potentially also lune and sciel.

the game's called diadem, and the emp for the game is here if you want to give it a glance and touch base with potential cast members and others in general...! the tdm goes live next week thursday.
betenoir: (Apathy)

[personal profile] betenoir 2025-05-11 03:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Hello there! I am absolutely game to give this a shot! The fact you tagged me with a Gustave journal is the icing on the cake. That there might be a small cast is wonderful and exactly what I was looking for - there's so much for everyone to explore - so I want to say thank you for putting Diadem my way. I was in Abraxas before with Jonathan Crane so I might know a few people here already which is an even better bonus.

I'll go post to the EMP soon as possible. :3

hello hello! I'm the Maelle the Gustave above mentioned. Not gonna lie, I zoned in on the "the any casts" bit and was immediately !!! Would love to have you if you're interested in the setting.

[personal profile] betenoir 2025-05-11 03:40 pm (UTC)(link)
hello hello!

I just replied to the Gustave but I'm absolutely interested! Should have something up on the EMP soon. Also you guys are free to add me on plurk if you like to touch base. I'm over at [plurk.com profile] safekeeping.

[personal profile] virtuose 2025-05-11 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll keep an eye out! Also will be adding you up on plurk, I'm [plurk.com profile] riyuji there.

I've only had our tfln thread so far but I would love to do more with Renoir! There are ways, we can make it happen!
betenoir: (Disillusioned)

[personal profile] betenoir 2025-05-11 04:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh god yes! I loved our thread and would absolutely hit your Gustave with a baguette. I kid, I kid. I do have Renoir at a few memes. I think this or this might be interesting? If not just let me know what works for you!

I am totally up for Gustave misfiring a text to entirely the wrong person, too. Like you say, we can make it happen.

demainvient: (Default)

[personal profile] demainvient 2025-05-11 04:58 pm (UTC)(link)
A good baguette fight is just what they need!

Ooh, these are both great, I'll pick one and throw him in, we can work out the details later. (I can also toss up a continuation of tfln on my open post, I was traveling this weekend and am catching up with things this afternoon.)
betenoir: (Contrite)

[personal profile] betenoir 2025-05-11 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Sounds like a plan, then! Plus if you're game for putting the TFLN up on your open post I'll totally throw Renoir at that too.

[personal profile] fromfire 2025-05-11 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Why, hello! (I'm not the Verso that was mentioned by the previous folks, sweats!) I did however pick him up very recently and also giving a small wave like hey, I'm also voice-testing and so excited to see more folks.
betenoir: (Resigned)

[personal profile] betenoir 2025-05-11 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Hello hello! I'm so happy to see more people picking up Verso. He's such a good character. If you want help voice-testing and have a meme or two in mind just let me know! Always willing to explore more between these two. :)
fromfire: (Default)

[personal profile] fromfire 2025-05-11 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
You're also choosing a great one. If I wasn't going to play Verso, I would have played Renoir. (shakes hand, shakes hand) I would love to do some voice-testing with ya! Same here; I just love everything. I've beaten the game and just filled with so many emotions, lmao.
betenoir: Handmade - DNT (Courage)

[personal profile] betenoir 2025-05-11 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Same, same. I brushed up on journals especially for these two and the emotions after reading the event discussed in Verso's [and mentioned in others] are just... Wow. I have to ask what sort of meme you're in the mood for! I have Renoir on a few so I can throw out a few links.

Even if it's for him telling Verso to get off the damn internet.
fromfire: (it's all in my head)

[personal profile] fromfire 2025-05-11 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Drop those links. I hate to be so unhelpful by saying like I'm in the mood for everything, but I kind of am. (laughs)

I have so many spoiler stuff I wanna talk with about, too, with these two. I find Renoir to be so fascinating as a character and all his motivations and everything. It's just muwah! Do you prefer PMs or DMs or plurk?
betenoir: (Unimpressed)

[personal profile] betenoir 2025-05-11 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Plurk sounds good! I'm at [plurk.com profile] safekeeping. I've got a good number of meme links that it would take a while to put them here - but they're all in a recent plurk.

And yes! I need to talk about these two so much.
fromfire: (Default)

[personal profile] fromfire 2025-05-11 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Woohoo. I'll throw down an add!

[personal profile] morewhoothanwhee 2025-05-12 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
When I have energy... you know. These two don't pull punches. But also we can dig back before things went sour, too. Before Clea dropped lore bombs. Etc.
betenoir: Handmade - DNT (Default)

[personal profile] betenoir 2025-05-12 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
The energy challenge is real. But yes! I'm game for all sorts of scenarios and can roll with anything. These two have so much potential for RP but like... I can't discuss it here since there's so many spoilers spoiling things. Do you want to Plurk about things? I'm [plurk.com profile] safekeeping over there if you do. But if not that's cool!
morewhoothanwhee: (Default)

[personal profile] morewhoothanwhee 2025-05-12 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
lmao we were just crossing paths in a mutual friend's plurk about the game. I'll send friends request for discussion.
