September EMP Meme
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!

| ➤ 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. |
Problematic OCs Stuff
(Anonymous) 2025-09-14 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)I have a few OCs I made up for PSLs that didn't go very far that I'm really still lowkey obsessed with and would really like to explore via new PSLs! Would rather play them privately either on Discord or in locked journal entries or a closed musebox than on memes etc. as my characters' backstories and personalities contain a wide variety of triggering stuff. I'm looking for someone who's interested in digging into self-indulgent tropes, angst, hurt/comfort, and rocky relationships that end up working well for both parties. Also looking for someone who is comfortable with a lot of triggering content in backstories and possibly in play as well, and wouldn't mind playing/playing off of difficult, flawed characters.
I currently have journals for two of them, but there are several others I'd make journals for if necessary. Hit me up with a sock for more in-depth information on the characters I'm most interested in or a plotline that pinged you, or to just exchange Discord handles so we can chat, I'm fine with either.
I'm open to pairing them up with canon characters that would work or having someone make up new OCs to go with them!
My Preferences:
* I'm using live action PBs but am completely open to any medium for your character(s). My PBs actually have a pretty robust fanart following so I could use fanart of them as well if you prefer that, though fanart icons would probably be more of the "modelface" variety.
* Some were created in an ABO/Omegaverse setting but I can play any of them as either ABO or non-ABO. All of mine are Alphas in an ABO setting. I am only interested in m/m or m/nb either way.
* My characters are all very troubled/traumatized tops, and I love playing them off of equally troubled/traumatized bottoms so they can help each other and swap who's doing the hurting or comforting.
* I am looking for shippy/character development PSLs with additional action/intrigue etc. to keep things interesting and avoid stagnancy.
Plotlines:
These are just the plotlines I had before, as they were, but they can be adjusted to suit new characters! I'm mostly interested in the dynamics represented, flexible otherwise.
* "Pretty Woman" type plotline where I'd play a rich mafioso/businessman hiring a prostitute to avoid arranged marriage or as a date to attend some events, and ending up falling for him and generously spoiling him.
* Childhood friends to lovers, after mine has been in prison for 10 years for crimes he didn't commit, framed by rival mafiosos.
* Teaching my character who's been essentially raised as an attack dog how to be human, and being rewarded with an endlessly loyal sunshine puppy, with a side of mafia or gang drama/action.
* A very popular musician works with and falls for my character, a reclusive songwriter who used to be part of a band that fell apart.
* Two wolf-boys of whatever variety are held captive and forced to fight each other repeatedly in cage matches. Eventually, they manage to escape together, and have to overcome the association they have with each other of fighting/being hurt while they're on the run together from whoever held them captive in the first place.
