Today, I have finally reached 1000 points on CYS :3 

That is a goal I've had ever since I joined this site, roughly about a month ago and I'm extremely proud of this accomplishment, so now I have to ask you guys... 

What are your in progress site goals or accomplished ones?

Write a good storygame.

I believe in you.

Thanks. My goal is again, September. Though that seems really hard now.

Good God, Seto. :O You reached 1000 points in just over a month and a half! Isn't that some kind of CYS record right there? I mean, I've known people who've been on here for over a year that haven't even earned half that amount. That's awesome! :D

Thank you for your contributions to the site as a reader / reviewer. ^^ It's really encouraging for me to see newer members get pumped and involved in a positive way. :3 I look to seeing your future accomplishments, too.

As for my own goals, I've had three which I picked up shortly after starting here: achieve the final rank up, get my own member trophy, and have a story featured in every category. The first looks possible, at least. ^-^;

It's kind of ambitious for that storygame dream, but you've already done an amazing job with your first two features, so I'm enthusiastic on that.

Thanks. =\ If I can ever get around to finishing Magick Academy and either Temple of Fate or Devil's chess, I'm hoping they'll earn spots in School Based and Puzzle respectively. No idea what I'm going to do for love and dating. I like romance as a story element, even a lot, but as the primary component...? I dunno. Edutainment and Everything Else are also going to be tricky.

Kiel, Christ, don't mention Magick until you publish it. I'm very lazy and u productive, but you of all people?

Maybe you should PM Seth or one of the Romance writers. Just......don't ask End about romance.

I saw the words "ask End about romance" :D sounds good! 

Actually, if you want the truth, I've wanted to write a romance horror / suspense or tragedy for a while. Considering my appreciation for games like Catherine, YandereSimulator, and the like, it's not too surprising. I just need a solid concept ... which I think I literally just now found due to this conversation. Thanks! 

.....you're welcome! I guess it's true intelligence is found in the minds of stupidity. But anyways, good luck!

Better not be "EndMaster Simulator" -_-

 I mean, I've known people who've been on here for over a year that haven't even earned half that amount

Or even a 20th, for that matter.

How do you break a thread?

:(

It's simple. Once you waggle the fedaggler and jibble the jabble, just find the thing for the stuff and perform the action to the point where the dribbler can't continually redownload the flux capacitor biomatrix.

:D

That's actually one of the most logical things I've heard all week. It's been one of those sort of weeks.

Pfffft. As if that'd ever work. Penguinites are idiots when it comes to this sorta thing. Don't listen to them.

Hey! You edit locked my post! I was just about to fix it! *grumbles* Now I'm gonna get caught. 

IF you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all....?

Lolrekt

I didn't say anything mean, did I? :b

"Penguinites are idiots when it comes to this sorta thing. Don't listen to them."

Not just mean, but racist as well.

Nothing but a little tease. :b

Oi, that's racist. I can't help that my computer is infinitely more complex than yours and has shit like downloadable flux capacitor biomatrixes and waggling fedagglers!

Besides, that's the exact number of steps it should take, with the Rich Text Editor enabled.

Publish a storygame. Eventually. Maybe co-author it, since I'm shit at implementing choices.

Rite a horor gud.

Get noticed by Kiel senpai. Seriously though, I'm still hoping to some day publish a featured storygame.

I want to be noticed by Kiel senpai too xD

Be productive in general.

My goal is to read all the good storys.

It won't be that hard to read, like, 30 or 40 stories.

I had three goals when I joined the site:

1. Get past my writer's block, by actually going ahead and hitting that publish button. Even if it's not perfect, a story not published will never be enjoyed. There's no shame in being average. That's why it's called an average.

2. Release some solid storygames on the site, to return the favor for all of the enjoyable reading I've gotten on/off since 2009 or so here. I figured the best way to give to a story-based site would be to write some stories.

3. Read all of the published storygames on the site, since I really enjoy seeing how people approach their storytelling and game mechanics in different ways. 

Completed the first goal. Hopefully I wont un-complete it by getting it again. Second one is vague, so it's hard to say when I'll call it accomplished or not. Third one will probably take me the longest, if only because I'm focusing more on writing than reading currently.

Site goals that I have accomplished:

Enter a contest

Publish a story

Other site goals:

Read every story on the site

Participate in a Forum Game I want to but all of rules seem intimidating

Get some nice trophies

Have a featured story

I don't really have any goals besides perhaps getting 1000 points. I hope I'll be able to get to read 50 or more % of the stories in here, but with my slow reading pace that's not going to happen anytime soon.

Understandable. Still, a noble goal, I wish you luck.

I reached 420 points you noob

Eventually find the inspiration to publish my own storygame. 

Don't quote me on that, 'kay? :p

Actually write a storygame.

-Get my brother to be more active on this site

-Write an actual story

Write a story that's above a 4/8.

Write a story for a contest (I joined the Apocalyptic Contest and the School-Based Contest, but I didn't finish my story both times).

Going off the second goal, WIN said contest.

Reach 1000 points.

Have a story featured.

Get a user trophy.

Get the top poster trophy.

And last but not least, stay on this site for three years. I'm getting close to it, in about six and a half months or so (I joined the site on my original account [11302] on 2/2/14).

How to win a contest:

Step 1:

Start a new story for a suffering/neglected catergory, hide it away in a word document.

Step 2:

Proceed to write massive amazing story.

Step 3:

Finish the damn thing. Proofread 4 dayz.

Step 4:

Casually suggest the genre of aforementioned story in the interest thread for the contest.

Step 5:

Gradually "write" story into the CYS editor. Publish ASAP.

Step 6:

Pit your massive, open-worlded, expert-scripted, heavily-planned-out, painstakingly editted, flawless years' effort against the things everyone had to write in a month.

Step 7:

You win the contest, you filthy shitlord.

... Although really, a shitlord filthy and desperate enough to have to do this probably wouldn't be able to write something any good in a year's time anyway.

Wait.

Who's the shitlord?

Are you the shitlord?

All.

I like this.

Sound plan.

.....this was actually a thought of mine, but I decided cheating is bad. :P

A useless and unethical mini-lesson from Dr. Figar:

"Cheating is entirely acceptable! It's called making practical use of the resources provided, to progress your career in money-making. You're sitting there for your FOS admission test, proctor glaring at your innocent self, with 5 minutes left until the session ends. Your paper is empty. You can feel their displeasure burning into your soul." 

"You point towards the left corner of the room, behind the proctor. They turn around. Oh, what's this? It's a C-grade stealth particle compression bomb, that's set to explode in 4 minutes. Whatever shall we do? Quickly everybody, panic!"

"Everybody runs screaming. The proctor escapes first, with impressive speed. You sit there, calmly starting work on your test paper. You peak over at the now-empty desk of the person next to you, who seemed like a brilliant young lad with much more potential than you."

"Wasting no time, you fill your empty test sheet with all of the correct-looking answers. Being the swift and stealthy writer you are, you finish with a full 40 seconds to spare. You walk up to the front, confidentially put the completed test on the proctor's desk for later, and exit the room. You also take your dud bomb from the corner, because you could sell that back to the local prank shop and get 70% back. You'd haggle for 80% though."

"So remember, if you're ever worried about failing your FOS admission test, be sure to pack a C-grade stealth particle compression bomb. It's only cheating if you get caught!"

...One...thousand...points. o_o

*tries to hide the 363 measly points and 2year+ membership*

Current goals:

Publish a game.
Get to be a mod.
Have my own trophy.

...I think Imma gonna have to be here a looooooonnnnnnng time to complete that. x_x Pretty sure the first I'll accomplish is the publish a game, which I estimate will take another 10 years or so...

To outlive you all.

Or failing that, making sure we all die together.

With the fact that for the last 3 years i have eaten nothing but five minute ramen your definitely gunna out live me by a few decades.

A worthy goal.

Me, I'd settle for finding one of the more annoying children IRL and making them cry in person.

Marry mizal.

Thara, I'm flattered, but I demand a standard dowry of the tears, souls, and still beating hearts of 100 of this site's stupidest children from all my would-be suitors. 

I'll go ahead and waive the requirement for the heads of ten furries mounted on wooden plaques above our canopy bed, because I like you.

I graciously accept these conditions then! I just love when the requirements of things need to be met with even intervals (odd numbers are a pet peeve of mine.)

Create a story while staying sane.

Hopefully a good one that doesn't make readers gouge their eyes out after looking at the first page.
