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.

Yu-Gi-Oh

[personal profile] firstrateduelist 2025-09-15 08:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Offering]:

Seto Kaiba, local billionaire control freak with too much time on his hands trying to jettison himself into the afterlife in order to win a game because HIS "ENEMY" MOVING ON IS NOT A GOOD ENOUGH REASON TO NOT BE FIGHTING HIM WITH CARDS. COWARD!!

(I specifically play manga Kaiba and that descriptor up there concerns The Dark Side of Dimensions film. However, I am flexible and enjoy playing from alternate canon points! I currently play him from Duelist Kingdom in a game, and have also done PSLs that incorporate anime content such as the Doma Arc.)

[Looking For // Preferences]:

I'm mostly seeking out an Atem/Yami Yugi to play off of, but I'm also interested in other canonmates like Jounouchi, Ishizu, Marik--mostly I want to have fun playing Kaiba off of different folks and because he is, unrepentantly, a bit of an asshole, I would enjoy doing that in an environment where both sides know exactly what's going on here lmao. Don't be fooled though: I am also big on crosscanon :> There's canons I'd love to subject him to (like Malevolent, which one of my friends got me into and now I'm in hell) so anyone can shoot their shot and we can plan something!

ADDITIONALLY! I enjoy partial or total AUs immensely and would love to go on interesting journeys!

I will be completely straight and say that regarding Atem, I'm looking for shipping, but I'm also a multishipper who enjoys great variety and I'll hear anyone out, canon or crosscanon. That said, my take on Kaiba does not lean into the thirst trap status that it feels like Konami's relegated him to. He is prone to making errors when regarding emotional investment and comes with a lot of baggage. Because of this, forging bonds like friendship, or straight up shipping will all be slowburn and potentially frustrating ICly. Seto Kaiba is a tsundere. I don't know what to tell ya fellas.

[Kinda TL;DR + Things to Note]:

- Canon or crosscanon long-term PSLs wanted
- Looking for Prideshipping (Kaiba/Atem) but will accept other interesting situations!
- Slowburn is my jam
- AUs and OCs welcome!
- Expect negative interactions. Seto's a bitch who insults people for free at all times. It will always be IC only and I will always consider comfort levels! Just let me know if the vitriol is no longer cool. :V
- I do not play anime or TAS Kaiba. I'm okay with jokes and make many at his expense OOCly, but I derive my characterization from the manga, despite being alright with AUing in filler arcs and rewriting them in a way that appeases me. It's not MY fault the Doma Arc was fun af ok...
- Prose preferred, but happy to do brackets! Tenses don't matter to me, flip-flopping by accident is something I do and don't care about! We are all human!
- Timezone is Eastern Standard Time (EST)
- Medium pace atm, I'm on leave from work! But when I do work, I tag in bursts, usually during the evening. I love to boomerang but cannot always guarantee it.
- I'm open to smut, but preferably behind a lock! 18+ is preferred, will entertain high-school age forays, but nothing too salacious. As a note, I play Kaiba as a non sex-repulsed ace. He'll do it if it interests him in some way, he's cajoled, or if he's in an established relationship, but he doesn't really give a dingle-dang about the dirty most times. Games stimulate him more than sex itself. I'd love to explore this thought process with him.
- I enjoy getting into the psychology of characters. Introspection runs heavy.
- BONUS YU-GI-OH CONTENT: I am willing to sideplay characters in PSLs to help enhance the situation, or if it's required of AUs I concoct! I have an active Ryou muse and have played both Mokuba and Pegasus situationally.

If you'd like to see any vague permissions, feel free to check out my page and click one of the permissions pages for like, S.H.R.E.D, which is the newer one. Lol. Also feel free to contact me through PM or respond here, I'm excited to play with new people! =D

[Picks up brother unit and covers his eyes. There's debauchery here, child.]

((also though if you wanted to do anything sometime, hmu! mokuba is best bro!!))

[personal profile] heartofthedragon 2025-09-16 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
Oh he was in a game where Seto and Atem were dating, he's not shocked by his brother making out anymore 😆 but he will still cover his eyes and run to another room because eeeew he doesn't want to see even kissing!!! 🤣

Oh sure! I didn't want to intrude since it looked like you were only seeking out shipping partners. I took a bit of a break playing Mokuba since earlier this year but I've been slowly rewatching the series with a friend and the voice is coming back hahaha.

I admittedly was looking for prideshipping this time round because THE HEART WANTS WHAT IT WANTS but I also couldn't ever look away from Baby Bro, and shipping is definitely not all I'm about lol. I also love threads that dig into the meat of interpersonal relationships, and nothing is meatier and more fraught than the Kaibros and their sibling bond, tbh.

I'm not sure if you're looking for game refs, but there's a YGO cast in [community profile] labofnaturerp if you ever feel like getting involved in gamestuff (Mokuba would probably have to be from Battle City or DSOD to qualify since it's 12 and up but all the same)! Seto is Not Okay there, he's brainwashed, and the rest of the cast (Yuugi, Atem, Ishizu, and Yami Marik) all have to deal with that rofl. Anyway Lab's a small game where characters in the setting are experimented on, and there's a lot of horror but I enjoy the vibes!

Yeah I love their bond too! Thank you for the invitation, I'm very touched but unfortunately I don't enjoy the horror genre 🤣 Playing in a game where characters get experimented on would probably give me the player more nightmares than the character 😂 I'm more interested in fantasy. But I'd be happy to do something on Bakerstreet! I also enjoy getting to delve deeper into relationships in RP!

That is super fair, and I wouldn't want to suggest something awful for you. D= Fantasy is doable too since i loooove AUs lol. But in the case of bakerstreet for now, I did post on like 3 memes a few days ago, and if you ever see anything you think would work for The Boys or have a PSL idea you want to try out, hmu for sure!
