August 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.

Misc OCs, video games, and anime -- LOOKING FOR CROSSCANON

[personal profile] travailler 2025-08-10 12:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Character-specific details put under cuts!
ANYA ( [personal profile] sirnight )
Click for details
Blurb
A giant telepathic fairy with an embarrassingly strong facination with human culture, but keeps his distance. A well-intentioned maternal busybody.
Seeking
'Canonmates': Open to any Pokemon characters, from trainers to other Pokemon, OCs or otherwise.
Crosscanon: humans, non-humans, other humanoid monsters. Anyone who could use someone to take care of them.
Shipping: M/F, M/M, M/NB.
Scenario examples
Humans and non-humans living equally in society (think Bojack Horseman with its anthro characters)
Beauty and the Beast-type Stockholm situation. He is wary of people discovering him, so he may keep someone around if they discover him.
Secret/foribidden relationships. Obviously hooking up with your Pokemon is one, but this can be taboo for other reasons.
Hurt/comfort, with him doing the comforting.
Non-Pokemon fantasy settings. So long as he can stay as a big humanoid fairy monster, he can work in non-Pokemon settings.
ATSUKO KAGARI ( [personal profile] wordsearch )
Click for details
Blurb
Sweet and exciteable witch-in-training. Well-intentioned shounen protag.
Seeking
Canonmates: Diana, Sucy, and Ursula in particular
Crosscanon: supernatural creatures (demons, monsters, etc); other magic users (magical girls, witches, etc); teens (your Personas, for example).
Shipping: F/M, F/F, F/NB. For anything with a notable age difference (generally characters mid-20s-ish or higher), then that's limited to F/F or F/NB.
Scenario examples
Master/Familiar relationships. This can include Fate/ style master/servant stuff.
Characters into oblivius but earnest shounen protags. She deserves them.
Akko as the only witch in a little country town where she helps others out.
Akko as the court magician and has a close (an possibly disallowed) relationship with a royal or someone else of high standing.
THE GORGON ( [personal profile] gorgantic )
Click for details
Blurb
Medusa. The Medusa. The one from Greek myth, in her most monstrous, cursed form.
Seeking
Canonmates: None in particular since she frankly doesn't have many connections, but open to trying things!
Crosscanon: other misanthropes and awful, hateful, violent people; sweet characters that can soften her; characters to subjugate and enslave.
Shipping: F/F, F/M, F/NB.
Scenario examples
Beauty and the Beast. She keeps someone against their will and they make her soften because she is miserable and lonely.
Master/slave. Like the above scenario, minus Gorgon softening. She keeps being cruel and violent, treating the other as property.
Pet person. Gorgon is an anaconda; very high maintenance. Don't feed her enough and other pets may start disappearing.
Wacky modern settings where a big ol' monster lady is as normal to see as a regular human.
Arranged marriage. Can be political to keep her monster kingdom from invading another or a small village 'sacrificing' someone to the local monster.
Goddess AU. Gorgon is still a big snake lady, but never developed an all-consuming hatred for the world or got over it a long time ago. Much sweeter but still socially awkward.
ELPHELT VALENTINE ( [personal profile] travailler )
Click for details
Blurb
Founder, lyricist, and frontrunner of the all-girl death metal band Speothos Venaticus. Dedicated to the grind. Also, an otherworldly being from a higher plane of existence sent to exterminate all of humanity.
Seeking
Canonmates: Bridget, Ramlethal...
Crosscanon: Humans; other AIs/artificial beings; cranky/loner/tsunderes to hassle; other musicians, performers, etc.
Shipping: F/F, F/M, F/NB.
Scenario examples
Pet person. Elphelt as the 'owner' or the big strong pet bunny.
A Western/gunslinging/Trigun-like setting. Bang bang.
Parasocial relationships. She gets close to a fan of her band.
Superhero AU. She's already superpowered, but here she gets to save damsels and the like.
Bodyguard AU. Elphelt is a very skilled bodyguard but with a very silly and laid back personality.
ETNA ( [personal profile] lonemajin )
Click for details
Blurb
An orphaned demon who clawed and backstabbed her way up the ranks in the cutthroat Netherworld to become a Demon Lord. Haughty and capricious. But likes kids and pets.
Seeking
Canonmates: Laharl, Flonne, Xenolith, Adell, Rozalin
Crosscanon: Angels; demons; other supernatural creatures; humans; goody-goody characters to be cynical and tsundere at; dudes and gals to bully (affectionately); pretty twinks and curvy women to bully hard (extra affectionately).
Shipping: F/F, F/M, F/NB.
Scenario examples
Master/Familiar, with Etna as the familiar.
Someone dicking around with magic accidentally summons her and has to deal with having a demon as a moocher and roommate, like a demonic version of the odd couple.
Master/Servant, with her as the master.
Pixie Etna, like a shitty tinkerbell.
MTF/trans Etna. Can work in tandem with pretty much any scenario.
Modern/Urban fantasy
PREFERENCES
Misc Things
Primarily looking for shipping. Open to starting with gen and building up to shipping. Open to smut for any of my characters, but I like to build up to it and it not be the primary focus.
