July EMP Meme

[enablemeplz]

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. MOD CONTACT: If there's trouble, tell me HERE, please! RESOURCES: enablemeplz - The plurk for Enable Me Plz.

➤ 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.

jack klein — musts ( oc ) dude with an unexplainable and incurable case of the time slips travels from one era to another. in each period he's in, there's a job he must complete to "move on" to the next one and, hopefully, closer to home. sometimes the job is quick and easy, but usually, it's long and complicated. he lies a lot. the cause of the time slip is deliberately kept vague so it could be science fiction or supernatural, but it hasn't come up so far yet. with the nature of his story, he can be taken from a sci-fi or supernatural angle (or a mix). i'm unfamiliar with a lot of stuff on bs, so some context would be appreciated, but i can make him fit into your character's canon! seeking — historical characters, other time travelers, supernatural creatures, and modern-day characters. he's traveled to pre-history to present day, so he can fit into any time and canon!! though i'm ok with threads set in the present day, i want historical threads! i want historical characters! action-heavy threads, so spies, criminals, soldiers, superheroes, assassins, etc. would be great. but tbh i've been having fun playing him as a Normal Guy, so i'm also open to some "normal characters" and slice of life threads. iffy on shipping (m/f) because it will take lots of cr and probably be doomed (but i'm game). i'm more interested in gen tho!! totally open to antagonistic interactions as well!! some ideas off the top of my head (which i can tweak): holding up carriages in 1670s england. solving an impossible murder case in 1830s vienna. tracking down outlaws in the american wild west. robbing banks during the great depression. spy things during the cold war. superhero au where he can control his time traveling powers, but still uses it to be a menace throughout history. notes — i'm not kidding when i say that i'm interested in a wide range of interactions, whether it's friendly or antagonistic. variety is the spice of life! we can start on memes and move to psls, or jump straight into a psl. i'm good with either one! slow to med but i will backtag forever :') default is brackets and present tense. happy to exchange discords but ok communicating only here.

Hey! Just popping in to say that your OC sounds amazing!

I would love to play with them but the character that would work perfectly with him I'm not ready to play yet :(

...But I shall work to get him ready.

If you ever want to talk, even if it's just gushing about this really cool character of yours, I'm up to it! My discord is anne2511 but no pressure if you would prefer not to talk!

[musts]

hey, thank you very much! and that's cool! who's the character?

[cloversandcranes]

I was thinking France from Hetalia (but historical Hetalia (so slightly AU (more serious) if that works for you.

I'm already seeing some cool scenarios we could do.

[musts]

give me your ideas! i don't know the canon or anything about the character, so i'm going into this completely canon blind.

[cloversandcranes]

Hetalia is basically a satire and comedy of an idea of countries of the world with human personifications but focuses on stereotypes. Like France as a human looking being that's immortal and doesn't age. Historical Hetalia is basically taking the immortal beings that are personified countries but makes it less satire and comedy and more serious (sometimes darker) and historically accurate (or at least tries). Like instead of portraying France as weak coward (a popular stereotype of France in Hetalia), they show him as a more complicated, powerful and dangerous character that hides his dark side with a pretty facade. After all, France was once a VERY powerful empire and it was the most successful military power in European History (in the 168 major European battles, it won 109, drawn 10 and lost 49).

Anyway, enough about France facts and gushing about Historical Hetalia.

Well as an immortal that's lived for more than a thousand years, I'm sure he would notice a familiar face. And vice versa. It might be fun for them meeting in some historical event and going, "...YOU?!" Like maybe your OC could have been there in the French Revolution and saw France lose his head to the guillotine and then seeing him in modern times with an attached head and going, "...HUH?!"

We could even mix these with an AU of mine where humanity has turned on their personified countries and are hunting them. And your character is either hunting France or sees him fleeing from humans and they get talking while fleeing for their lives (like maybe the pursuers think your character is a country (or helping them) and they have to flee together.

Your ideas also sound good! Like all of them sound plausible with France!

...Oh no, I want to play with your character even more now. I'm even contemplating doing another character waiting for France... Do you know Danganronpa? And what are your thoughts of AUs? I should have asked you that first...

If you are, I could do one of my Danganronpa AUs with Makoto Naegi (where he goes back in times (a purposeful time loop) to try to stop bad things from happening) meeting your character during one of the loops (maybe a bad end one) and we have two time travelers meet.

OR I'm having a fun idea with your superhero AU idea with them. What do you think? I'm very open to other ideas!
