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.

fe:3h, dunmeshi, octopath, limbus company

[personal profile] gandilf 2025-05-11 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
offering:
  • osvald v. vanstein - octopath traveler 2 [personal profile] gandilf
  • dimitri alexandre blaiddyd - fire emblem: three houses [personal profile] animehamlet
  • laios touden - dungeon meshi
  • ishmael - limbus company

looking for:
  • for osvald, my favorite 38-going-on-50 mathemagician, i would love canonmates and crosscanon both! i'd love to play off of and voicetest with other octopaths- i'm not super-familiar with champions of the continent on my end but i'm happy to learn more for the sake of rp. for cross-canon, osvald is a sort of Magical Scientist using formulae to cast firaga and things like that, so i'm happy to slot him into other medieval fantasy-ish settings, something teetering closer to steampunk, sci-fi, etc... if you want to play with him i will jump through the hoop to fit him in. other mathemagicians welcome!
  • for dimitri, i love playing in the fodlan sandbox so i'll always be down for anything there- post-canon, three hopes, alternate routes, 'what-ifs', or aus in totally different genres. favorites are post-game azure moon and 'what if' with things going to shit in crimson flower and verdant wind. if you have a cross-canon idea or want to do a more jamjar-y storyline a la heroes or engage, i'm down too!
  • for laios, i tend to like things exploring aspects set after or during the latter parts of the manga, but i'm happy to voicetest with and play off of castmates at any stage, including anime-only! also throwing in my long shot because why not, if you play from arknights, that collab was so funny 😭 let him keep ruining rhodes island... crossover dream, or crossover nightmare...?
  • for ishmael, would love to play off of other sinners while i get more confident in the voice! i'm also down with handwaving some timeline shenanigans and having interactions with characters from other installations in the series or doing 'exploring mirror world' psls.

preferences/notes:
  • i yap a lot in prose but if you'd like to try something faster-paced i can definitely try to be more brisk! if we're slinging bigger tags at each other i'll go for at least a tag a week, but if i have the groove down for something faster i can try to get you at least a tag a day or a few times a day if we're going for short and sweet.
  • i advertised last year, loved the bites i got and just fell off the face of the earth, but i have internet back now so if you see this and we had a psl going/getting started, hit me up if i don't get to checking in with you first and you're still interested!
  • i love shipping but i'm totally okay with more gen directions or antagonism depending on the characters we're playing. i like a wide variety of au themes but i'm especially a sucker for monster aus and auing one character into the other's canon.
thanks for taking a look! if you're interested let me know- you can also pm me here or over at my dimitri account!

hi there! you're one of the folks i plotted with before i Evaporated, i'm so sorry, it's nice to see you again! 😭 if you don't mind i can hop over to my laios and we can pick up where we left off and/or touch base and see if we want to do additional plots or change gears on the one we had? i will never not be down for labru shenanigans.

hi, real life gets the best of us so it's all good! i'm happy to continue what we were doing or plot something else! looking back at that thread we started it's a cute set up for something shippy if you're interested

[personal profile] gandilf 2025-05-13 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
perfect, thank you so much for your patience and kindness! 🤧❤️ i'm still down for what we had started, too, it's definitely a cute line, so i'm happy to continue there, and if any new plot beats strike me we can see if we'd like to turn things that way or start something separate to play simultaneously depending!

I’m going to gently sit here for Dimitri. I have a few ideas but I’m not entirely sure about the full extent of your preferences
gandilf: official (Default)

[personal profile] gandilf 2025-05-12 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
claude! 🦌💛 if you'd like i love pre-plotting and comparing notes so if you have a few ideas off the top of your head already that you were itching to explore, feel free to hit me up with them! i have very few limiting factors for dimitri- i do default to post-timeskip three houses things just out of habit but if any of the inklings you already had happen to be outside of that timeframe, that doesn't preemptively disqualify them at all to me.
deepstar: (002)

[personal profile] deepstar 2025-05-12 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
Post-timeskip is usually what I lean into anyway, unless a plot bunny demands otherwise. I also never could never finish Hopes, so it's pretty much all Houses for me and any timeline.

I'm really easy with plotting though. Throw around an idea and I'm pretty content to roll with it and build on it. So I might drop you a message here shortly just to see the sort of things that you like ( or you can always hit me up too I'm not your boss lol )

[personal profile] gandilf 2025-05-13 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
three houses-focused stuff is perfect to me! hopes is always a mess to canon review, too, so i'm certainly not complaining.

that sounds good and my inbox(es) are open! if i have an absolute brain-blast plot idea bite me in the ass first i might run to your inbox first to dump it out before it leaves me, because i know if i don't write it down it'll be Gone, but no rush at all! i'm always happy to hash stuff out.

I know I should say something else but that username's killing me.

nervesofsteal is beautiful, i shed a single, stoic tear at the sight... therion! octopath solidarity... 🤝 thank you, i'm glad it brought you a laugh! i told a friend i was thinking of taking a purged one-word name instead after i went with this when i first made the account on impulse and they made it clear they would be devastated if i switched.

No mood, and also you're not the first person who actually told me a variant off of that story, actually. ("I had a pun username, was about to switch to something else and people made it clear they were going to be very disappointed if I did.")

Also, I cannot believe it was this link which jogged my memory, but I opened up bsky and saw this, and I'm now forcing you to see it, so we can get to the punchline:

I remembered where I saw your username. I was the fucking Chilchuck who PMed you and offered Sylvain, and now I'm the fucking Therion who reminded you that I was on a Chilchuck account when I PMed and offered Sylvain, because I'm apparently very indirect like that.

omg, this is hilarious and fortuitous and very relieving for me? 😭 i was going to try to touch base after crawling from the ashes, but it's good to see you again, this saves me the embarrassment of crawling to my inbox for sure! emp is such a magical place... no longer shall our increasing amount of shared fandoms be starcrossed. let me get the ball rolling again on our dimitri and sylvain stuff and we can catch up from there! 👀

Yeah like imagine me sitting here, and I was like why do they seem so familiar. I know them. Where do I know them from??? (I know so many people in this scene from so many weird places.) They're from...somewhere. And then I saw fucking cheese and it brought it all back.

Anyway, don't worry if it's like. Too old or you don't remember what you were doing and you're making faces at tagging it back, I'm also always up for something new, and fresh, so. You got options. (Obviously disregard if you're not making faces at it and know what to tag back with, but also keep in mind the options part.)

for dimitri, I do have bylass and also dorothea here, but my dorothea voice is much stronger lately, and while I do enjoy his dynamic with byleth I wish he'd gotten a chance to interact with dorothea like... at all. she's so kind and she loves to help people, so I can't imagine they wouldn't have crossed paths looking after the orphans at the monastery at the very least.

gandilf: official (Default)

[personal profile] gandilf 2025-05-13 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
if your dorothea voice is much stronger i'm absolutely down to play off of her! it's always fun to explore where supports didn't end up going- if we end up vibing well and you get a byleth itch i'm happy to do a storyline or storylines with her too! we can bounce ideas at your leisure!
backstreetbard: (theaicon7)

[personal profile] backstreetbard 2025-05-13 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Dorothea is always ready for shenanigans, but I'm sure I could summon Byleth for additional plots.
