January 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 / fetish 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 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 canons 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.

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.

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.

looking for games for two very different characters: Law from Tales of Arise and Albel from Star Ocean 3! also open to PSLs as well, if you like.

general preferences:
• DW games only please!
• backtag-friendly is ideal. i can vibe with whatever pacing/AC requirements, but i probably won't be able to keep up with anything super huge and fast.
• open to any genre, but i'm partial to subject matter on the edgier side. willing to consider AU, memory loss, power loss, etc if the premise and whatnot is cool.

for Law:
• preferably no sex games, but sex-friendly where smut and whatnot isn't expected should probably be ok! this is just because i'd prefer to focus on character development and cr building with him, i don't have any problems with shipping him or with smut.
• i'd love something fantasy, horror, adventureish for him in particular. also prefer to keep powers enabled, but not a big deal if that's not an option.
• a cast isn't required, but welcome! i might have a friend or two to bring along wherever i go, depending on what's available/the game.

for Albel:
• sex games are fine, possibly even welcomed. darker genres would serve him well, but i'll consider anything, even slice of life.
• i'd chew my arm off for castmates, but i'm fine with being a lcw.
• it's easier to build cr with him if he's declawed, so power loss as an option or a requirement is welcome.

oh my gosh i love these two characters so much??? i'm especially thrilled to see an albel out there!

this game is more suited for your preferences for law but i'd love to see either of them here (there are currently no castmates for either but we have a small tales of vesperia cast at least): i just joined [community profile] folkmore recently and am already having a blast here! it's a private, invite-only game but i'd be happy to give you an invite if you need it! it's a medium-paced, sex-friendly fantasy game that revolves around character development and cr building, with each character being assigned a role (legend, familiar, or myth) which comes with optional transformations and abilities! there's no power nerfing either except for game-breaking powers.

there are events every month which are icly called "trials" that involve testing your character in some way, and the more intense trials usually give ic rewards if your character passes them. you can also use the game's currency, spoons, to icly and oocly buy rewards! icly spoons are earned by interacting with other people (or animals), and oocly you earn a spoon for each tag you post in the game, including tdms and ic contact posts. ac itself only requires a check-in every month!

the game operates on a monthly app cycle, so i'll give you the dates for the next cycle so you have an idea:

invites: january 22nd-february 4th
tdm (does not require an invite to play on!): ~january 22nd-24th
reserves: february 1st-4th
apps: february 5th-9th

also if you decide you want to app and your friend(s) want to come with you too, i can only give one invite per month however the mod team gives out invites as well, so you can have them pm the mod journal for one if necessary!

ahhh, thank you so much for this, this is super helpful! i'd been batting around checking out folkmore, i have a couple friends who play/played there, but i hadn't really taken the time to look into it in any detail so this is perfect. i'll definitely check out the tdm when it goes up and see how things roll (probably for law, but i might try albel too, why not), then if it sticks we can always talk about invites and whatnot at that point. i'm ngl, i'm a sucker for transformation stuff.

thank you again! \o\

[personal profile] sesto 2023-01-15 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
no problem, i'm glad you found it helpful! i can poke you once the tdm goes up if you want! and if you decide you want an invite, you can just shoot me a pm with your name and contact info /o/

editing this to add: the mods just announced that the next tdm a bit will be delayed a bit to january 27th!

omg... a vholran... i never thought i'd see one, you lookin for a cast bruh??
finisaeternam: (Even my henchmen think I'm crazy)

[personal profile] finisaeternam 2023-01-15 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Possibly! But I don't even have a home for this dude yet. I've been out of the RP scene for a bit, still seeing what is even out there.

honestly, up until recently it felt like there wasn't much to choose from but now that the holidays are over, options are popping up everywhere! myself and a couple friends are hoping to tdm at an upcoming game, Expiation, when it goes up around the 23rd of this month! not entirely sure on who's doing what, but i think it's looking like we'll have an Alphen, Shionne, Law and Zephyr giving it a spin so far? possibly others too! 🤔 i'd love to see vholran there personally, but i'm also down to just bounce stuff around on memes or any other tdms that look cool too if you want!
finisaeternam: (The future that I missed a parallel line)

[personal profile] finisaeternam 2023-01-15 06:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Expiation was one of the ones put on my radar, actually! It looked promising for Vholran especially, given its themes. I will likely at least be on the TDM there. Of course if at any point in that y'all feel you'd rather not have Arise's main (?) villain stomping around just let me know, there'd be no hard feelings.

aw, no you're good! i poked my pals and they are totally ok with it! i don't have everybody added that i think is tdming (i keep my plurk really tiny so i never know what's going on lmfao), but at the absolute worst we can all give it a roll and see how things go from there.

[personal profile] sincleavers 2023-01-15 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Hi! Speaking as the Alphen who's planning to TDM there, I'm really excited at the prospect of getting to thread with Vholran. There's just so much with these two guys that they never really get to work through, and I'd love to get the chance to have them interact in a game setting.
finisaeternam: (busy trying to get himself lit on fire)

[personal profile] finisaeternam 2023-01-15 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, excellent! I felt compelled to pick up Vholran because the character's whole concept and premise were intriguing but the game never quite gave him the room to truly shine. (It came frustratingly close at times but then they ran out of money it just kinda...ended.)
sincleavers: (056)

[personal profile] sincleavers 2023-01-16 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
YEAH I totally agree. It was a big rush to the end and anything with him got totally glossed over, which was so frustrating. That's what rp is for! I'm probably going to start Alphen still with the mask on, which could be a whole extra layer of wild, lol.
