September 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.

Free!, Honkai: Star Rail, Final Fantasy XIV (OT Crosscanon)

[personal profile] greenorca 2025-09-14 12:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Offering
Aglaea | Honkai: Star Rail | [personal profile] ofgoldenthread
seeking: Phainon, Tribbie, Cipher, Anaxagoras, Trailblazer, Hysilens, etc. Basically anyone?
info: I love all her relationships in all their forms, platonic or shipping. Anaxagoras & Cipher are big ones because I continue to enjoy the particular friction they individually have with Aglaea, and I am all about butting heads or pining. Always love a the "proud not!mom" angle Aglaea can have with Phainon and getting into the more complex feelings Phainon clearly has about his world. I do have a deep desire to play out Aglaea-Hysilens with someone who has read Whispers from the Deep and wouldn't mind humoring me.... it doesn't have to be super shippy (but it CAN be!!), so long as I can be a little shameless in the brackets. (If icons are an issue with Hysilens I will genuinely help you)

Makoto Tachibana | Free! | [personal profile] greenorca
seeking: Like, all of the swim boys | OTA crosscanon
info: Old fandom is old, but if anyone out there is feeling nostalgic for the silly swimboys, hmu. Still a little behind on the movies as a warning. I'm generally very ship- and nsfw-positive with Makoto, so long as the dynamic is good between the characters and I get to be embarrassing. MakoHaru is obviously a big one, but Rin, Sousuke, or probably any of the college boys; (or anyone). Very open to water-themed or sports-genre crosscanon characters, too, even if I'll probably be canonblind! Or, idk, if YOU know Free! but don't have a muse in mind, I'll look at a whole muselist for discussion. I just love playing Makoto and I find he's very malleable in most RP situations.

Cal Kifli (WoL or Adventurer flavor) | Final Fantasy: XIV | [personal profile] nymeia
seeking: The Scions, WoLs, other cool kids | OTA Crosscanon
info: I'm still in a voice testing phase with him (literally, just finding his words), but I feel very strongly about his background, goals, and personality. Cal seeks to make the world a more beautiful place, which takes him down the path of WoL or Weaver, depending. I have a fair bit of info on his journal, but the quick overview is the front page. I would LOVE other WoLs to play off of as weaver Cal, and if there are any canon-characters who can be patient with a WoL-Cal-in-Training, I'd be delighted. I'm not super invested in shipping with Cal, but I love all the XIV characters & if the dynamic is right in the writing, I'm definitely shipping trash. Also interested in cross canons which feature similar malleable protagonists, like Dragon Age or Baldur's Gate, or any interesting OCs, so long as I have the chance to read up on them.

Interests
- Happy to hit up a text thread to test the waters to start!
- I tend to prefer medium-to-long tags in PSLs, brackets or prose is whatever
- Open to anyone who's voice testing so please don't be shy!
- I am very ship friendly with these characters so long as the writing is good. M/M, M/F, F/F are all great. Nsfw a-okay, but I do like some build up and Feelings. Unfortunately, you might have to be explicit with me if you're interested in shipping because otherwise I am extremely dense and too polite.
- I'm still a little RP rusty so if I am fumbling or slow at all that is why.
- Glad to hear from anyone who's threaded with me previously!
- Also just looking to make some friends, if anyone is into these fandoms. I talk about HSR a lot and do the XIV raid scene. Happy to connect with folks.

If anyone is interested, feel free to leave a comment or hit me with a DM. I'm also happy to pass along a plurk or discord if either of those are easier to plot with!

Well, hi there! Would be happy to do some PSLs with Makoto with this idiot shippy, smutty, or platonic. Also I've hit up Cal with my Leofard, so there's him too. I also have E-Sumi-Yan who's rusty AF, and have my FFXIV PC I keep meaning to do something with.

[personal profile] greenorca 2025-09-14 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I would absolutely LOVE more Asahi, he's so impossibly cute and the couple threads you and I have had killed me. honestly, shippy or smutty sounds great to me, although I'd love to hear your thoughts first since I came back to Free! only last month, so I'm still playing a lot of catch up.

Very funny that you sniffed out Cal as well, since I see now I forgot to put any of my contact info on his journal... oops. Honestly I was really surprised and excited to see Leofard! If you are interested in doing more with that, I'd love a little time to rerun the plot because I think it's been.... three years since I ran it? And back then Cal was barely a glimmer in mine eye, so I wasn't thinking about it that way yet.

E-sumi-yan might be a little tough for me, since I'm still deciding how to handle other job stones/class quests besides rpr&dnc, but I'd never say no to a WoL for weaver cal either if you wanted.

[personal profile] notaswimmingmonkey 2025-09-15 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds good to me~ TBH I haven't gotten around to watching the last movies yet, and Asahi is a bit rusty. So we can catch up together.

I always like tagging other FFXIV people with Leofard since he's so fun. So yeah, go for it. I still have no idea what I'm doing with my PC, so that gives me time to figure that out.

Bro, as if you have to ask!! Do you happen to have anything out there with her now? I think all I've done recently is the TFLN, but I'm pretty sure it's already hit recapcha (rip)

No, not really! Unless you want me to post on the general texting meme?

Sure! I'm always glad for some jaunty text memes. I'll posit this too, if you are feeling anything more actiony or moody, I do see a rain meme up right now as well. Up to you, of course!

I am in the wrong journal, but I do have a WoL that might be fun with Cal. Erhi has a background and a personality that has her sometimes teetering between Great Things and Not Being a Great Person, which Cal's "potential" echo might have some fun with? She WANTS to do what's right but there are times, man... She's abrasive and harsh but not really unkind -- at least, she isn't trying to be mean.

Erhi specializes as a gunbreaker, but is also a pretty badass viper, so slotting in Cal as a friend-who-helps-do-the-things would be super easy.

Happy to chat more about her if you're interested!
nymeia: (Grin)

[personal profile] nymeia 2025-09-14 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
firstly, robin!!! <3

Secondly, yes, I love this, and honestly it's really what I want cal to be to a WoL in so many ways, so this is perfect. I'm also seeing your EMP post down below that Erhi is a Xaela and I have to say now, Cal is a stinker about his personal Dotharli heritage, so i think this could play really well both ways, depending on the BG you feel for her. I'd definitely would love to hear more (no rush if you need time to punch out more info on her too, I'm a patient man)

That weird "potential" echo is something I need to "potentially" reevaluate bc it is an old, old concept at this point and I know the info I need to tidy it up is in StB somewhere but that's so much gameplay I need to muscle through to get my notes squared away, lmao. We can still work with it though, I just love Cal being like... idk, Gandalf but rowdier; knows too much but never gives himself away.

[personal profile] trenchantsong 2025-09-15 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
We stan Robin in this house.

Ooohh, yeah. Erhi is Kha -- mostly because I wanted her to be part of a more "open" heritage. She loves the Steppe, but hasn't spent much time there AT ALL. Her background is... gnarly in some ways (because we torture whom we love, right? Right.) She was part of a traveling group of merchants and traders, endured a raid that killed pretty much all of them, and ended up being thrown into slave trade before she found a way to escape and settled in Limsa. Her background involves some not so savory things and it definitely does manifest in her personality -- she can be closed off and ruthless on her bad days.

Gandalf but rowdier is perfection -- I love that!
nymeia: (Excited)

[personal profile] nymeia 2025-09-16 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
It could be fun to go for a hurt/comfort angle with them, if you're into it! I might have the easiest time jumping into a scenario set up for/by Erhi in that case, too, bc Cal's not outwardly very dark so it would probably set the mood better. I'm probably open to whatever you might have in mind, or if you wanna run ideas by me I am all ears. Feel free to DM 'em too if you want
madfools: (Default)

[personal profile] madfools 2025-09-17 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
Oooh yeah I think that's a great idea. Erhi can be intense but she would never let a friend down -- as much as she can anyway. I'll DM you in a bit with a few ideas!
trenchantsong: (Default)

[personal profile] trenchantsong 2025-09-20 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
For some reason, I couldn't respond to your DM! It kept erroring out!

nymeia: (Uncertain)

[personal profile] nymeia 2025-09-20 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
it might be because i wrote wayyyyyy too many words and hit the character limit cap, you should be able to just delete some of the old message(s) (unless you managed to cap out with just your own message lmfao)

[personal profile] trenchantsong 2025-09-20 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
haha I have NO idea what was going on -- no error messages or anything. I just kept trying until it sent.

[personal profile] chrysolis 2025-09-15 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
i hadn't read whispers from the deep before and now i'm emotionally compromised?? thanks??? why is amphoreus like this

but also jazz hands. hi. if you'd be at all interested in threading with a castorice, please let me know! i don't currently have any meme tls but i'm more than happy to toss something up, or reply to something of yours
ofgoldenthread: <user name=ofgoldenthread> (Consider)

[personal profile] ofgoldenthread 2025-09-16 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
RIGHT.... Amphoreus keeps gut punching me. Now, I suffer with forbidden algaea/hysilens knowledge.

I would absolutely love to play with Castorice!! I actually don't have anything up because I'm a stinker about top levels. Not sure how jaunty or moody you want to go, but I see generic texting, rain, insomnia, and random scenario up right now. I could put something there if any of those seem like an alright spot to start, or I'm open ears to better suggestions.
chrysolis: (✘ 12)

[personal profile] chrysolis 2025-09-17 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
aglaea is unfortunately the queen of tragic yuri 😔 and even more unfortunately, i love that for her

i went ahead and slapped down tls on the texting and insomnia memes, but if you're leaning more toward rain or random scenario, i'd be happy to tag there as well!
ofgoldenthread: <user name=ofgoldenthread> | free to use, more in her journal (Coy)

[personal profile] ofgoldenthread 2025-09-17 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
i will absolutely tag one of these when i have the chance; i unfortunately bricked my e-mail temporarily, so i am mega-slow until i can get that figured out

if you have specific thoughts about if you want some before i get around to either of them, lmk, im all ears :)
