May EMP Meme
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. MOD CONTACT: If there's trouble, tell me HERE, please!

Re: FFVIII
Nah, do vigorous Spider Man pointing up at this jerk.
I only have 2 FF8 muses and the other one is weird. So let us just enjoy the moment of connection
Re: FFVIII
We did get some decent art of this jackwagon from the cardboard crack tho, he was the only character I cared about.
Re: FFVIII
Ultimecia is someone. Nida is not.
I am so sad that they didn't give ff8 cards firebreathing to simulate junctions.
Re: FFVIII
ZellXu! I've played with a Nida back a million million years ago.I'm okay with them not doing that really.
Re: FFVIII
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.
Re: FFVIII
Oh, Irvine has the best art in 'Absorb into Time', his face is very "SOMEHOW THIS IS YOUR FAULT SQUALL."
Re: FFVIII
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
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.
Re: FFVIII
Nidas are a vital part of garden. Everyone needs that student that is secretly good but no one realizes is in the running for top 5-10 in a class.
Yes! Seifer would be amazing at weapons. Plus the zen sort of mood you can get into with constructive talents, and how you can whack things, and how if it all goes wrong you can sometimes just work the metal over again into something new!
I looked up the card. He looks SO UPSET. thank you. I laughed my head of.
I love 7 and I love KH. (God a KHer that knows that Seifer looking at this one in confusion)
Re: FFVIII
Exactly!! And also he can legally call people idiots for breaking things by using them wrong! And also telling people to go take a hike if he doesn't want to deal with them.
I have.... Most of the Turks and Cloud in my roster from 7, and Aqua from Kingdom Hearts (She would drag him by the back of his coat to do Things ok, ok)
Re: FFVIII
'Well adjusted' from the character that says 'one day I'll rule this garden'. Dude had such inconsistency. lol.
Seifer would be a custom worker too. Got lots of standard shit anyone can buy, and he's gotta respect you to make something special. No matter the Gil.
Omg Aqua would SOOOOO drag him. Also, love to see Turks. I did Rude too way back in the day and am trying Reno recently. I had so many Reno's to choose from in the way back that he only became mine recently. I also do Zack, and for those that like Crisis Core, Genesis.
Re: FFVIII
Custom work, one of the few specialists in making gunblades. I had his shop called Saint James Arms because of his coat.
I played Reno for almost a decade I think? The Reno-Seifer pipeline is real imo. I could never find a Rude that stuck around sadly, twas the curse.
Genesis is fun tho, I dabbled with Angeal for a bit but he didn't stick long.
I can kind of see Cloud actually liking Seifer, in that.... Seifer isn't intimidated by him and Cloud doesn't have to worry about him needing rescuing.
Re: FFVIII
If you ever need a Rude, I've played him since 2002. I love the dude. Have an account here.
Custom work that is beautiful and functional. He'd be famous.
Cloud and Seifer would just get each other in a look.
Re: FFVIII
I also headcanon that he doesn't put his actual name on it so it's... Not impacted by his history. Seifer's an actually smart guy who got screwed by Destiny and I will die on that hill.
They have a very weirdly exclusive club of "blond guys who's lives were hit with a wrecking ball by both a military socioeconomic complex and a silver haired asshole and don't know how to unpack that"
Cloud would just appreciate having someone he didn't have to explain his shit to who would join him in "hold my beer and watch this" antics with monsters.
Re: FFVIII
Agreed on the Seifer take! Dude is in a category of bad guys who were wildly misled and could recover for themselves with time. I love playing those.
There is also small arguments for 'mind control sorta happened as a pawn for said silver haired fiend attempting to destroy the world' between cloud and Seifer.
God those two would try so hard to one up each other.
Re: FFVIII
He, by all normal metrics that weren't set up to fail him via nitpicking, would have passed the SeeD exam three times over. He technically successfully commanded an entire army and a Garden and more than just survived Odin while in the worst state of mental breakdown. He's only failing was because he had to in order for the time loop to function.
I have... Basically a whole essay about that and how he's technically a Byronic Hero in a literary sense, and that's the Romantic philosophy he's on about not the Love Thing.
Imo on Cloud's end it's... Mostly not intentional, he's just both kind of bad with people skills so this is obviously how you relate with people duh and doesn't meet a lot of people who can keep up with him in a fight outside of like ... Vincent.
Re: FFVIII
I mean it was SUPER clear he meant Byronic. I did a long essay analysis of squall and Seifer as conforming to the Jungiam shadow archetype. Where on can only see the potential and success of squall by the reflection of the failure and fall of Seifer.
Cloud has issues. And that's okay.
Re: FFVIII
Cloud has many issues, and the world does not stay saved long enough to do much about them other than wave.
But yes, I am definitely down to thread sometime, see what happens between Seifer and Cloud or still Awua if that's gonna be more your speed!
Re: FFVIII
Oh god no! It's definitely better to imagine the paper than it is to read it.
Honestly either Cloud or Aqua would bring me such joy. And if you ever need anyone for your Seifer I have a fleet.
Re: FFVIII
I've been wanting to toss Seifer at things, so I'm totally down if you've got someone you've been wanting to bounce off of a Seifer!
Re: FFVIII
God just imagining a gunblade plus motorcycle is insane. But cloud definitely deserves GFs to further enhance him being a super soldier. (God imagine a junction on top of materia and EVERYTHING ELSE. Cloud would be insanely powerful).
But the hilarity of Seifer going 'that isn't Squall, he talks to much and needs a haircut' is funny too. (I think he'd take Atlantica by storm)
My muselist is here. Tell me if anyone at all looks tempting.
Re: FFVIII
Also... why is the mental image of poor Genesis having to deal with someone almost as annoying as him in wanting to spar and talk about literature so funny?
Re: FFVIII
Hilariously I don't get to explore that because the game I have Seifer in... I also have Genesis in. Lol
Re: FFVIII
Weirder things have happened, Seifer. It's probably fine. Also, your world falling in to Darkness is not your fault. Probably.
Twilight Town definitely works, it probably replaced Traverse Town as the place folks who don't get swallowed by darkness when a world falls end up. Also, it happening during Time Compression explains like... Selphie being in Destiny Islands as a kid, and Leon being almost 40.
Aqua's advise is to not think about it too hard, otherwise you're just going to get a headache and go crazy. The rat running the restaurant is actually food handling certified.
I imagine she was in Balamb World trying to stop the fall but... well. She's only one person and did not expect that kind of time magic going on.
Well, Genesis deserves someone to harass him just as much as he harassed Sephiroth. And Seifer deserves materia.
Re: FFVIII
Oh come on, Leon gives off solid 30s energy. And wow I forgot traverse town was the one. Yes. There. And with compression Seifer could arrive there before Leon even. While Leon's odd in Radiant Garden settling into a life there.
And yes, he would think too hard. There are talking animals. This is BS. That could be so fun! (At least he wouldn't assume she's a sorceress because of her eyes).
Omg... he'll assume Ultimecia was a shadow because of the yellow/gold eyes.
Genesis would be so confused to be the sephiroth. And Seifer would be a menace with materia. Bet he wouldn't change his gunblade for materia though. Purist.
