mizals' Blunder: 23 commendation mitsake!
In the dark early morning of a few days ago mad mod mizal was sifting through the usual cold midnight shit when she came across a wonderful game:
How To Date A Middle School Guy by
RedWinter. The game, a 0/8 pile of vile shit-stained trash, was ready to be unpublished any minute. Mad-mod mizal, at it again, did the unexpected: commended the story - 23 TIMES! An unprecidented mistake of unbelievable scale. What made her commend it? A brief look at the content:
As seen by the lack of grammar and spelling, the usage of emoji text, and far too much punctuation - any reason mizal had to commend this is beyond anyone. She commended it anyways and RedWinter gained a whopping 23 commendations that morning. mizal reacted accordingly, attempting to fool us by feigning it as an accident -
blaming her fellow mods of seniority such as Killa, 3J, and even attempting to
pass blame on his majesty BZ. Regardless of these attempts she also immediately "tried" to cover her tracks - proposing to delete the game soon after commending it. She proceded to delete it out of embarassment but this news report believes otherwise.
Commendations cannot be taken away - they are permanent and mizal knows this and had known prior to commending the trash game. Is it possible that a trash game was made by her friend or family member purely to game the commendation system? We asked an expert who decided to remain anonymous what his views were on the situation:
Q: How could this have happened, [redacted]?
A: "As a foremost expert on commendations I can conclude with absolute certainty that mizal pressed the commendation button 23 times."
Q: Could this have been on accident?
A: "It's unlikely, but her technological incompetence is infamous. I must be going now, thanks, love you, bye."
After reading that, what do you think? Was it on purpose? Was it a classic mizal-mistake?

Featured picture of the edition: Mardox in a dress
Scandalous "man" Mardox revealed his pass-time as cross-dressing and shared a picture with us:
This blurry photo of the estranged lesbian Mardox in a chainmail dress not much longer than the average office pencil-skirt was posted some time ago on his gay catholic discord server.

Special Member Interview: ISentinelPenguinI (aka Sent)
Q1: How did you first find this site and what made you want to join?
A1: Wtf It's Like There's literally NO other practical purpose for that armor except to look like a huge faggot. Like there's not that much room for a good gambeson, even if we're pretending that's good metal and it's short-sleeved for some reason even though they obviously had enough fucking links to make this giant fucking skirt!
Q2: Why do you write Choose your Own Stories?
A2:It's just, why? It's so gay. This is something elves wear in LOTR fanfics. This is armor so gay Prince Adam on Eternia would've thought it had heavy undertones. This chainmail dress is so fucking gay Loras Tyrell would have found it offensive to wear to a fantasy pride parade.
Q3: Who are your favorite authors and what are your favorite stories on this site?
A3: It's a goddamn cocktail dress! Motherfucker trying to look all badass and historical lookin' like Whitney Houston at the end of that one movie. You wouldn't see armor like this in
Final Fantasy. I mean, yeah, it's not nearly overdetailed and impratical enough for that, but you wouldn't see the concept of a man wearing an armored choid boy robe because of how gay it is.
Q4: Your interests are very wide-ranging, do you think playing computer games can provide good inspiration for story writing?
A4: He looks like the knight that was getting swirlies from his fellow crusaders...Under Stephen of Cloyes. Haha, children's crusade joke. It's like when knights are too noble to put in the pillory after they've done something retarded, so you make them wear this dress into battle and the peasants throw tomatoes at him anyway.
Q5: Any advice for other writers?
A5: He looks like Monty Python gave up.
Q6: How about some final thoughts?
A6: This is the kind of armor that's only acceptable in fantasy works such as Eye of Argon; and even then, Jim Theis would go on for several incomprehensible paragraphs about what a ponce he looks like.
==================================
That's all folks!
