December 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. |

But if you're not opposed I'd love to see them interact!

I'd be willing to give them a try. :)

In terms of character types, I have several in the late-twenties range — a few thieves (including Parker from Leverage, who's a facetwin for Maeve), a few supernatural entities (like Ghost here, who is a reality-warping lawyer, or Lenore from Castlevania who is a centuries-old vampire diplomat), etc. who might bring a perspective of sort of friendly opposition to Reid. If you'd be interested in tossing some ideas around, I'd love to hear more about what kind of PSLs you're looking for!
no subject
So yes, in short. Because I also babble. Parker I both know and adore, so having them have any kind of interaction would be wonderful. Possibly weird pen pals or a little game they play to one up each other. idk. I'm game for a lot with her.
no subject
Root -- personality wise, she's an extremely smart and extremely morally complicated person, but in a way that I think would be interesting for Reid and not just difficult. Essentially she used to be a career criminal (hacker & assassin) until one day she decided to devote herself to a benevolent A.I. overlord whose purpose is saving lives. She ends up fully becoming a good guy and part of the team, though she hasn't changed entirely. Root spends a few years switching identities on a near-daily basis and going where the A.I. tells her to save people, so there's quite a few ways they could run into one another. She even has a canon identity as an F.B.I. agent, hilariously enough.
Harold -- would be on the super smart but very ethical father figure side of things. He's the one who made said A.I. That would be more gen/familial but I always find that extremely satisfying, too! I can see some real parallels to Gideon with him, except Harold has main character syndrome where he has to painfully go through his whole character arc on screen and actually get development, lol. My Harold journal is

Since I'm canonblind to both, I think preference-wise, that's up to you. I think you'd know who'd fit (or fuss) better than I, and I'm game to play with either of them. I know this dork has a lot more on-screen redemption and character marks to make, so I'm curious to see the best place to play him from once I finish. You are more than welcome to come at me with either if you see him anywhere, and I'll keep an eye out for both of yours. I'm interested in trying to play some of the 'what if' scenarios about Reid stepping away from that comfort zone of the only thing he knows, so either would help with that.
no subject
Let's start with Root then -- she's easier to toss at people randomly in any case -- and if it gets far enough, it's quite plausible Harold can show up later. I'm down for you playing around with a few canon points for Reid, too. I'm pretty go-with-the-flow regarding RP stuff and I don't tend to get hung up on continuity or things like that.
Would you link me a couple top levels you have up and I'll throw something at you? I actually don't lurk around bakerstreet very much (I've gotten thread-ghosted too many times RIP) but I'm happy to start something. Or if you have a theme you'd like to explore in particular, I can put something up in her journal on the open post.

Gen:
Rain meme
Candygram meme
Insomnia meme
Stargazing meme
Not so gen:
Mistletoe meme
Strip club meme
Affection starved meme
Only one bed meme
Whichever works for you, works for me. No pressure for either or scenario, that's why I'm offering a variety :)

Anyway, I’m very flexible and down for whatever to build on their current thread. I think with Lois being a journalist, it’s very easy to say that they’ve interacted before regarding cases that he’s worked. I’m happy to hash out other things as we go if you’d like. I haven’t been top leveling as much on Bakerstreet as I used to because of game threads/lack of time/etc, but there’s always personal posts in journals.
no subject
I'm more than happy to hit each other up on bs whenever we see each other. And taking it to private psls places is also good. I know that public playing can be uncomfy for some.
no subject
My business is just out there on Bakerstreet at this point lol. Anyway, I’ll try to throw her on some memes this week and will look for him too. We can see how they go forward from here and maybe plot some things in the future.
