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.

Silver & Blood: Requiem, Path to Nowhere, JJK, Dead Account, WuWa, Tales of, To Be Hero X

[personal profile] hairetikos 2025-08-10 09:27 am (UTC)(link)
[Offering]:
Kasubata Kukuru ([personal profile] kozuchi) / Dead Account
Seeking: Renri, fellow classmates or students under Asaki. Crosscanon with JJK, Gokurakugai, or Kagurabachi folks. Dead Account's premise makes it INCREDIBLY crosscanon friendly for most supernatural based series.

Geto Suguru ([personal profile] eatingcursesout) / Jujutsu Kaisen
Seeking: Castmates (particularly Gojo, Shoko & Nanami) for platonic interactions, Kuroi or Yuki for romantic interactions.

Libra Sforza/MBCC Chief ([personal profile] shackledandbound) / Path to Nowhere
Seeking: PLS... WHERE IS HIS LIEUTENANT NIGHTINGALE... Honestly PTN folks are rare, but are very much welcome no matter whomst the muse is! I'd definitely love a Hecate to bounce off of though, please give this man his daughter. Shalom would also be incredibly welcome as well as Parfait.
Homeless: I'd genuinely LOVE to throw him into a game, but I'm honestly not sure where.

Isaac Van Helsing ([personal profile] truthpursuit) / Silver & Blood
Seeking: Castmates (Fellow Silver Cross members, Acapella, Goldland), crosscanon with other gothic/vampiric/supernatural series oriented muses. Would love to bounce him off of Hellsing, Castlevania, or even Devil May Cry (not the recent anime or reboot) folks.

Noah Nevernight ([personal profile] hairetikos) / Silver & Blood
Seeking: Castmates, everyone is welcome in all honesty. I've had the pleasure of bouncing him off of a few folks through crosscanon, and it's been a serious blast.
Homeless: Seeking a game for this very tired vampire who just wants someone to pass the vibe check without it incurring fatal retaliation when they fail it.

Tessa ([personal profile] merinesexual) / Tales of Legendia OC
Seeking: Fellow Legendia castmates, fellow Tales folks, interactions as a whole whether platonic, antagonistic, romantic, or somewhere in between. I have quite a few AUs for her, so she's very crosscanon friendly!

Nice ([personal profile] cruciatusetbeata) / To Be Hero X
Seeking: Crosscanon & castmates alike! I've been having so much fun throwing him at BnHA people lately, given there being so much overlap with the corruption in the systems that plague Heroes--I'd definitely love to explore it more.
Homeless: Seeking a game for Nice! If y'all have any suggestions for him, please give a shout.

Suo Hayato ([personal profile] dispatchthis) / Wind Breaker
Seeking: FELLOW BOFURINS PLS.... Let us explore the mystery of this absolute bully who can and will fold people for ruining his (or his friends') day. I also offer Tsubaki on ([personal profile] stilettohook)!

Li Xiang/Rover ([personal profile] outofmygourd) / Wuthering Waves / [community profile] karteria
Seeking: My kingdom for Scar or Phrolova content. As a whole though, castmates are happily welcomed, as is crosscanon! I'd love to explore Li Xiang's struggles with himself, the lack of memories, and the burden that the man he used to be before the memory loss left behind for him to handle.


[preferences]: Shipping is fun, but not a requisite--I'm more interested in building up the CR from the ground up whether through tagging or through heavy discussion, and if it gets romantic/there's naturally chemistry: I'm more than happy to roll with it.

I live over in the EST timezone with a god-awful sleep schedule so my tagging can be sporadic at times, but I'm happy to chat over Discord or Plurk preferably. I'm not against going back and forth on PMs though!
