June 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!

Oh, I'm not in Arizona anymore. I'm situated in Iowa.
Last thing I remember is you writing books. How'd that go? I streamed for a bit, mostly randomizers of video games, but stopped that now. The only speedrun thing I do now is RPG Limit Break since I'm staff for that one. Head mod of discord, twitch and youtube chats. In May, we just had our 10th year anniversary as a charity event (obs we were off in 2020/2021 for covid reasons).
I don't know of any games that allow fandom AUs sadly. CRAU seems more accepted and I'm glad that doubles are starting to be more allowed. I remember when it was a bloodbath to get your character in a game, not the case anymore.
Tobias is a bird and he flies over the welcome center daily in seasons so he'd probably noted Zelda arriving. Though he doesn't know when people leave.
A Link Between Worlds is mostly a love letter to A Link to the Past. Tons of references will go over your head without playing that one first. Skyward I dropped since the motion controls were not my thing. Wasn't interested in getting a Switch either.
Gmail labels is also really good. Very simple to get set up. Since you're on FireFox, I would recommended using tab groups for Zelda and the two turtles to make things cleaner. I'm actually really liking the tab groups thing.

Oh wow, you're in corn territory now. At least it's cooler?
I finished a manuscript but haven't had any luck with it getting it out there. Might shelve it and try another one honestly. It hasn't been a priority for me like it was in the past but dabbling here and there. We'll see what happens. Man, ten years of Limit Break? Sure Covid didn't help much there but that's awesome!
Yeah, that seems to be more a private game or close friend thing nowadays. Though I am glad to see that it's more common to allow doubles (within reason) because man, I've heard horror stories of trying to get into games with a popular character and just not being able to.
Seasons seems really chill so that's been interesting to try again. This whole thing is new to me so I'm kind of slinging myself into stuff and seeing what happens ha ha.
That's what I heard about that game - now that I've finally played Link to the Past I'd probably understand more of it now if I got a chance for Between. I heard it was very good though! Skyward was definitely not my jam with the motion controls. I think they ported it for Switch but I was still like nah fam.
Oh wow that's a really good idea with the labels. I might have to poke it since I do have two Raphaels running around to make sure I don't tag with the wrong one. I don't mess with tab groups myself but could possibly try it out.

I actually met her in late 2022, December and it was down in my clinic's urgent care. She sent me to the ER and she's still my PCP to this day. Helps that she's around my age (2-3 years younger). I got so lucky with the roll of the dice with this one.
It's cooler, but the humidity out there still makes it hot some days. Nowhere near Arizona's 119 temps though. I'm happy to see snow and get actual seasons for a change. I don't miss Arizona for that and personal reasons.
Glad you got something finished at least. And that you're liking streaming. I could go on and on how the speedrun scene has changed for the worse lol, but here isn't the place for that.
The most popular canons these days around DW I've noticed are Marvel, Persona and now Sonic (thanks movie 3). Clair Obscur Expedition 33 is the hot new thing right now, but I'm sure it'll cool off once the honeymoon period wears off for folks. I'm shocked no one has app'ed anyone from that one into seasons. Wouldn't know who the popular character is these days though.
Seasons is crazy chill. It's good for me with my health so I can take a break as needed and not feel guilty about it. People are super, super understanding that life just happens. Most of us are older. Or old. The two head mods, btw, have like pushing 15-20 characters each in-game so that should give you an idea lol.
Yeah, they ported Skyward over to Switch but not Twilight Princess or Wind Waker. I was honestly surprised they didn't port those two with HD versions on the Wii U already.
I'm glad the RP sources have been helpful. Pretty sure those are the main ones for me, DW Tools, Tag Recovery, Gmail labels and now FF Tab Groups.

Wow, lucky roll, definitely. Keep hold of that one!
God I cannot imagine being in 119 weather. It pushes 100 here sometimes and I'm just like kill me.
Yeah! I'm thinking of starting another one but we'll see. Streaming has been fun though; been enjoying that. And eesh, I'm not in speedrun circles but I can only imagine.
I have seen that from where I've poked around in games. MCU being everywhere and the Sonic resurgence from obviously the movies. From what I have seen it's been a lot of Honkai Star Rail/Genshin Impact ie. gatcha game stuff but man, it makes me feel old because I don't know who half these people are anymore.
That's good to know and good that it's a chill space. Makes for ease to slip back into it without feeling the pressure when you can, especially if you're dealing with health stuff.
Yeah that's honestly surprising! Especially since WW and TP had the Wii U ports so you'd think that'd it be easy as hell to just plunk them on the Switch. Ah well.
I appreciate it! There's so much of this that like, used to be available, but obviously that was years ago and for another site that I really appreciate having like, the Tag Recovery, since DW seems to choke sometimes and I'm verbose. Ha ha
