June 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.

Yeah, I've seen inboxes come and go across various places I've RPed, but the way permissions work in DWRP is a different format than I've seen anywhere else. Which hey, it's great to have as a reference, but they take some work to understand what DWRP expects of them when you're not familiar. Folkmore has an info page all about permissions which may or may not be helpful.

Absolutely. The similar but different. You get me, but also woah you're missing this shit. It's great.

But yep, you can see on Plurk when things are happening besides looking at the info pages directly. Which is nice for sure. Woo woo.

Haha, yeah, I tagged you and was like "waaaaaait a moment, that's like now." So no rush! Take the time you need. Main app advice I'd give is 1) follow instructions (including word ranges) and 2) answer all parts of questions asked (role reasoning and most personality questions have multiple parts). And have fun! I'm the weird one where I enjoy writing apps (ask me about my blorbo!). However, I also have a stroooong preference to have the app mostly done before I reserve a character, so it doesn't stress me out. We each do it our way.

Both TDMs and various memes are in the meme comm and open to the public. If you're looking to lurk and read some threads, you can also look there. I can't speak for other players, but I've definitely had text turn to action in my TFLNs and the like. I know it can be a pain when comms are private, but hopefully that provides something. And lol, yes, there's some long threads with older Leo on the TDM if you're digging for turtle content.

No worries. This is fun times, so do it the way that lets you have the most fun.

Permission pages really do seem important, mainly for if you're tagging someone for the first time and they have different preferences. Which is good to know, because sometimes I know I just go for the whole 'wait this would be hilarious to threadjump' but obviously some people don't want that. Some of it is familiar, other things I've had to look up, which has been interesting. I guess I was just used to permissions mainly for things like 18+ threads, in that sort of preference of what to go ahead and go for, rather than the general aspect of DWRP in terms of format or otherwise.

That sort of thing is really fun - I know some of my favorite RP from back in the day was throwing a completely different type of character against like, a brutal hardass from someone else's bag of characters. That stuff slaps.

I see! That'll be helpful to keep an eye on when to prepare since I kind of missed out this round. But luckily people seem more interested in continuing right now.

Yeah, that's what I would have done if I wasn't introduced to this right before app cycle in terms of having an app ready. Just slightly bad luck on my part, but if I'm considering a game, I'd want the app ready before reserving, just so I didn't rush it. And noted! Thanks for the tips. There's a wide range of things that people want from apps so it's been really interesting to look into various games.

Awesome - that's so helpful. I thought all of it was private and I like to read a few things to get a vibe for the game, but the TDM has been great for the feel of the game so far and I've been really enjoying it. It's been fun to read other interactions there so far.

I do appreciate all the advice though! I've been having a blast and I'm looking forward to what might come next :)

oh man now I feel like the dog who finally caught a car and has no idea what to do with it

I can start throwing ideas out, or I can see what memes are going, or if there's anything you've always wanted to do but haven't had the chance, I'm probably down for it, because I've never played with a Yuji at all so EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL AND NOTHING HURTS!

It’s the ‘I didn’t think I would get this far’ meme!!

I am here for everything!! I’m a big AU hound (soulmates, hanahaki, fix-it, period, etc) but also down for any canon inserts or post canon or anything!! I can throw yuji on a few memes and ping them at you or we can chat on plurk/disco if you’d like!

I tossed her up on a few memes (nursed back to health, touch, random scenario, night time) if any strike your fancy!

I'm...better at discord than I used to be but better about looking at plurk probably, haha. [plurk.com profile] atkascha and artelind. on disco (the period is part of the username, which was probably not a great life choice oh well).

I have more canon/post-canon ideas than AUs but I would definitely be down for some of each!
likemybooks: Taryon looking over blueprints and grinning (excited)

[personal profile] likemybooks 2025-06-27 03:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Hello!!! I play Taryon at [community profile] synflux which is a mission-based based set in a post-apocalyptic cyberpunk setting where Outsiders are sent to fight kaiju! There's downtime months for CR building and you can earn technological upgrades like cyborg arms or other nanotech abilities, and the overaching plot is set to ramp up soon. We've got plenty of opportunities for drama and infighting here, too.

And I'm also down for PSLs with the science bros.
pathography: (09.)

[personal profile] pathography 2025-06-27 03:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, neat! What if we start with some PSLing and see how things click? I love Tary, and I'd love to write all kinds of science bro nonsense, gen or ship. I've got Percy on various Bakerstreet memes, and otherwise, we could set up something in an open post.
likemybooks: Taryon shading his eyes and smiling (new adventure)

[personal profile] likemybooks 2025-06-27 03:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Sounds good! I don't have any toplevels on Bakerstreet at the moment, but I also have an open post.

Which memes do you have Percy on? I'm down for workshop shenanigans or serious discussions or shippy stuff.
pathography: (Default)

[personal profile] pathography 2025-06-27 03:47 pm (UTC)(link)
....I say that, and then I realize I've been super lazy this week about putting him places. Whoops. Well, he's now on this or that, shipping picprompts, random scenario, and arranged marriage - and, of course, also an open post.

I'm sort of popping in between work things right now, so I'm a bit scattershot for the next few hours. 😊 If you're up for writing a starter and you get to it sooner, we can go with that, or I can come up with something later today. Whoever gets to it first, haha.

[personal profile] heyunderoos 2025-06-28 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, you're still welcome to tag around and play! A few folks are popping in still, but if you'd prefer to wait that makes sense too!

Great!! I'll see you at the TDM as well then! Ik we didn't tag much at Expiation, but happy to share a game with you once more 🙏

TURTLES YOU SAY.

ALSO ZELDA AND SONIC YOU SAY.

Hello, hello, may I also offer up [community profile] seasonsgreetings, where everyone gets seasonal based powers (while getting to keep canon powers, if with some nerfing depending on how strong it is) where there are quests and events, and a lot of slice of life. Sometimes events be chilled and sometimes vampires have stolen the sun and attacked the town.

There is a friendly base and a lot of freedom for player plot, but also finding the MYSTERIES of the world. There is A Society to interact with, so NPCs to do all sorts of things with. You can see there's a lot about the setting to have fun with, and a power system, and also Pokemon.

As you can see, I play this nerd (whose older now so he's actually taller than Raph because you know. The movie established they were all Late Bloomers.) Also some other shenanigans to absolutely judge and fret at Donnie for.

Also alternate Raph would be quite funny if that's your vibe.

I also play Shadow Link from the Four Swords Manga who has met a BOTW Zelda before.

And LA!Sonic. We have a lot of Sonic cast and alternates are allowed, we literally have three sets of Sonic and Shadow, maybe soon four Sonics. (LA!Sonic is also about to get kidnapped and experimented on this month so that's gonna be great.)

Miraculous Ladybug @ Seasons

[personal profile] beexceptional 2025-06-30 02:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[game]: [community profile] seasonsgreetings
[fandom]: Miraculous Ladybug
[game's current cast]: Chloe Bourgeois
[who I play]: Chloe
[wanted]: Marinette, Adrien, Alya, Nino, Zoe, Sabrina, Luka, literally anyone.
[game info]:
[community profile] seasonsgreetings

Seasons is a private panfandom game that is on the lighter side. Its largely slice of life, but it allows for action/adventure, player plots, and solving the mystery of the world. Ellipsa is a full world with a whole city of locals, all lacking the power that your character has been granted while being brought to this world. The powers are based on the seasons, with a focus on elements, but also a few extras for fun, and ways to get more powers, animal transformations, and even things like potions and Pokemon. On top of keeping canon powers (with some nerfing if its too strong.) There are new quests every two months to inspire your character to do things, and events that could be as simple as the holiday festival, or as dramatic as criminals and vampires have darkened the night sky for days.

And you can even arrive with your kwami for the users. (May need to check about a double up for Zoe admittedly. Items are okay, but Pollen is a weird thing.) Chloe is still fairly new herself and encountering people who are actually willing to believe in her and enable her to do good things, so she's having a time. (I will fight Thomas in a Denny's Parking Lot. If he will throw away a half decent redemption arc, I'll finish it.) Chloe is from the end of season four, after the stealing of the Miraculous.

This is the TDM and if you're interested in tagging around, I can invite you.

THERE ARE SO MANY TURTLES - it's a sickness I swear. Watch me pick up more.

OH YES I have been enjoying playing this nerd again and have played 'hogs in the past as it was the first fandom for this old timer /waggles cane again

I actually don't know anything about this game! I saw that it was invite only so I didn't check it out, since I really don't know anyone on DWRP anymore. It sounds really cool though! I'll have to read up on the navigation to get the nitty gritty but the premise sounds pretty fun.

Oh, so it's cool with like, different versions or personal takes on the characters picked up? That's pretty neat - I'm used to people being like 'canon only' in old places so it's nice to see that like, you're able to play an older Donnie. You know, who should be fretted at.

Because like, I could play either Raph, really, but I also have an older version or two that's kind of headcanoned for alternate paths but that's usually frowned upon. So it's nice to hear that people are able to kind of twist character experiences and see what happens. I love that kind of stuff - characters having to deal with characters is so much fun.

OH BOY ALTERNATES weeeeeeee I used to play in a private game where we had different 'hogs and takes on them too so it was always hilarious based off of what experience the blues had gotten into. Sounds like LA!Sonic is going to get experimented on like one of my takes on a Sonic did. HEHEHEH that sounds awesome.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll check it out.

I AM ON THE WRONG JOURNAL RN but, I'm [personal profile] soft_shelled over at Syn Flux and the new TDM just dropped if you're interested in Cyber Punk Kaiju fights? Me and the Leo there would love either Raph and your Zelda is fun too, so she would be welcomed as well.

Heck, I think any of your characters would be welcomed with open arms.
