July 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.

[characters offered]:

✨the warrior of light | dissidia012/ff1
(lbr this guy is dissidia canon since ff1 has no characterisation for him at all)

🌹firion | dissidia/ff2
(happiest with ff2 representation but familiar with dissidia!)

🌙cecil harvey | ff4
(can't do TAY with him because i barely remember it tbh. semi-competent with dissidia stuff. can refresh myself.)


[rp you're offering for / rp type you'd wanna play in]: i'm posting because i really want to find a game for the warrior of light in particular but could sort of be convinced to try out games for cecil and firion- but they're more comfy for me in memes / psls.

i'm very open to crosscanon for any character, especially crosscanons from the ff universe- any is fine though, if you'd like to give it a whirl, let's! the only thing i'm not into is modern settings. in my experience, i just can't brain these guys that way.



[preferences]:

game prefs:

• medium paced
• plot focused
• no murder games
• dreamwidth only
• No au/transformation or purely sol
• open to 18+

psl prefs:

• deep. ideally, i'd like something that makes me think.
• i like the idea of au for psl, and mashing together different canon worlds.
• i'm okay with r-18 stuff, but the warrior is ...difficult to get to do that. firion's easy, but cecil's off limits unless you're rosa or kain.

fatedhearts is a FF/KH RP that would love any of your characters! It’s slower right now as we get going, but we have plot-related things planned and hope to become at least medium paced. One of the mods (me, actually!) plays Sephiroth and Squall with Dissidia memories and would be very excited for interaction with your characters. :)

Oh neat! Dissidia so needs to come back I miss dissidia-based rp so much...

I've had a little glance at the community and while the Midgar end of things will be way too much tech for the warrior to be anywhere near comfortable, I'm wondering if there are other locations from FF7 available for him to set up at. From what I remember of FF7 almost everywhere else is quite fantasy-based, so I think he'll be more comfy there.

....Or just out in the woods. That's pretty him, too.

Yes! I wish Square would re-release the first two games. I love playing NT, but even while loving it I can tell it was a cash-grab. (But if Square would pay attention to it again and do more with it, that would be awesome.) I'd like to see the first two games brought back. I remember there seemed to be a lot of hype around the first game. That was an exciting time.

Sure! :) He could set up anywhere. Seph is currently living in an abandoned house in the meadows and there are other houses there, or there's the wastelands, the woods, pretty much anywhere.

I only really got NT for HD icons, but sorry, im salty as hell I gave it a play and suddenly the funnest fighting game ever is now desperately unfun (to me, at least!) to play, it's so weird :'( That as well as the rpg elements being missing and the story requiring memoria just didn't appeal to me at all. Plus I kind of miss the charm of the original, like with series NPCs giving the tutorials, and even stuff like the OST doesn't hit half as well as Ishimoto's arrangements and original songs did. Weh. I'd kill for a HD 012 remake tho. Inject it into my veins.

That's good to know! I did check the FAQ but couldn't find info so I'll ask one more question if that's okay! Is your TDM perma-open, or would I be best waiting until a certain point at the month for a new one to go up?

Yeah, it was a bummer how they changed up so many things from the original two! They could have done so much more with NT than they did. I played a lot of my 012 ROM on Saturday and found a lot I missed from it in what NT changed or eliminated. Although as a Seph fan I was even more salty at how Opera Omnia stomped all over the character development of the other three games. An HD 012 would be amazing!

The test drive will be open at least through July, so yes, it’s very available right now. :)

Ahh, emulation highfive!! the only way I can replay it after my PSP's battery exploded due to age. RIP. I mean, I get NT being slightly different because it's a port of an arcade game but maaaan. feels bad. Especially at replaying 012's labyrinth mode. (best mode! If NT had something like that I'd have appreciated it a lot more)

UGH YES OO kind of... really went it's own way with seph. I always wondered if character development!Seph or even CC!seph would get pulled in too and they'd wind up scrapping. Like. The only thing being able to take down OOseph is another seph. FF7's done the 'i will never be a memory' thing with cloud so many times now he really didn't need another one. :< give me actual!seph getting some justice for what becomes of him, damn it.

And thank you! FANDOM BABBLE ASIDE... I'll look into it tonight!

(Mod on a Seph account.)

Poor PSP! Yes, NT/Arcade could have been so much more!

Rufus making all those Seph clones was seriously insane. Like, wasn’t one Seph enough?! It’s incredible he could do something that stupid. I didn’t want to believe that the Seph from the other Dissidia games was the same as OO Seph. Them scrapping would have been epic.

Awesome!

The only good part about NT is that it has characters from XIV and beyond + Spin-offs.

I was actually talking about my boy Ace, lol.

I’m not familiar with him outside of NT, but cool. :) He seems very interesting.

It's a shame that Iyashikei probably isn't the kind of game you'd be into, it's a modern setting that leans heavily into SoL. I'd love to have a chance for G'raha to meet the OG Warrior of Light.

Still, I got to give you props for playing him, and Firion and Cecil. Once upon the time, I played the Onion Knight, myself.

[personal profile] bluefang 2025-07-15 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Can I have a link to it? I can always look and let you know.

and ahhh, thank you. I have a thing for knights and Firion and tbh, this guy is something of a blorbo because he hits the aesthetic, but I also adored what Dissidia added to him. So much so, I actually played ShB because one of my friends said he was a brief cameo, haha.

and nice! I assume you played OK as Luneth, or was it more Dissidia-based?

[personal profile] iyashikeimods Our July/August TDM is ongoing.

He was Dissidia based, I've still yet to actually play any version of FF3.

[personal profile] bluefang 2025-07-15 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll take a glance at it, thank you! Truth be told, sol really doesn't appeal (this guy needs to be going out and doing things) but I might hit up the TDM for a bit at least. Just so G'raha can gawp. 💖

and OH MAN if you can find it it's a really good play. My absolute favourite version of FF3, in fact!

[personal profile] exexarch 2025-07-16 01:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I have the pixel remaster, I grabbed the bundle of them.

We also have a Foulques, the Elezen from the Lancer questline. (Iyashikei is good for blorbos who might not be accepted elsewhere.) He's fairly out of his depth when it comes to not solving things with his lance.

But I'm sure people would just be happy to see an OG WoL on the test drive.

ah, well! PR!3 is neat but i'm actually talking about the 3d remake of 3- while pr is more a 1:1 with updated graphics and sound, the DS remake of FF3 I'm speaking of is 3D and has fully expanded lore, as well as backgrounds and personalities for all of the protags and a lot of the world too.

I'm not that worried about the warrior not being taken on in communities. Back in the day, I had no problems getting him in anywhere because dissidia fills in the blanks for him. But thanks for the tip!

i don't have any games to offer you but PSL-wise i think Fray would be. Extremely funny/fucked up to play against a Cecil actually, if you are up for that
