Was sent here from TV tropes via Choice of Games.

Um... Hello...

Wait.... you came here from CoG? Few manage the task. Anyway, welcome to CYS. If you have any questions feel free to PM me. I hope you enjoy your time here.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Thanks I hope so too (I always enjoy a good story). But what do you mean "Few manage the task"?

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Any link to this site (At least on forums) Gets flagged immediately and the user who posted it gets banned for 200 years.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Was looking through the interactive fiction section on TV Tropes. This site was on the list.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Why is that?

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Because they realize this site is far better than theirs and they don't want their citizens to immigrate here.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

There's a link to here on the CoG TVTropes page?

Or did you mean this one?

Yes.

Um... Hello...

Glad to see our outpost is working.

Ooh, it's a COGite. Someone fetch the poking stick.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

What? Am I a bear?

Um... Hello...

7 years ago
We're going to use it to determine your gender, COGite. So we can have a massive debate about it.

Um... Hello...

Congratulations, you didn't get offended. Welcome to the club. ^_^

Um... Hello...

The presence of a penis proves nothing. This is fucking remedial. 9_9

Hmmmm. Are you sure you're from COG?

Um... Hello...

Could be the genderless robot?

Um... Hello...

I'm not from COG, I'm from TV Tropes and YouTube.

Hello and welcome to CYS!

I recommend reading any of the stories in the featured sections, particularly Will's How Not To Write and The Land of Bad Writing, since they may help you with any future storygames you may write.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Bookmarked and saved for later.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Welcome! It's not often that I get to offer a spork to a newbie. Here you go!

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Can I have a spork?

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

You haven't proven yourself worthy, yet.

Unlike this person, who has done absolutely nothing to prove that they're worthy.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

What do I need to do to prove myself worthy?

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Jesus Christ fine, have a spork if you want it so fucking much why don't you.

Just remember, the spork must choose you. You are merely a custodian, probably.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

The spork is mine! It is the ultimate weapon! *Pokes you with spork*

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

FFFFF.

Matthias.

We talked about this.

The very disbalance of good and evil depends on this shit.

Don't ever use this spork or it will fuck you.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

When did we discuss this?

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

I JUST SAID UP THERE THAT EVIL HAD TO BE STOPPED AND SPORKS.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

You two amuse me "Now kiss".

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Am I worthy?

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

I would give you a spork, but you turned your back on me when I needed your support the most, so no sporks for you.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

I realize my mistake. The RP would have lasted longer if T-Count didn't fuck it up.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Hmm...

I don't think I fully forgive you. I won't give you a spork, but I will give you a spoon and a fork instead. You're either gonna have to figure out how to combine them, or prove yourself worthy to Sent in order to obtain a spork.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago
That's the opposite of what T-Count said. :)

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

What? Why does it matter what he said?

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

"Spork?" What?

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Ok, so imagine a spoon with small prong on the end like a fork.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

What does it have to do with Stories?

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Nothing at all.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

I'm going to have a fun time here aren't I?

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Yes.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

It has plenty to do with stories. Admittedly, it has less to do with stories as it does with the disbalance of good and evil in the universe.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Oh Kay...

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

In time, it may choose you as its true wielder. It also may not do that. Either way, as long as those nameless creatures that gnaw on the wholesome are banished beyond the tangible reaches of our physical and metaphysical dominion and all that shit, we'll be fine.

If someone offers you strawberry pudding, kill them. Do not ask questions before the deed is done, their guttural noises will only drive you mad.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

That was so funny I remembered to laugh. "Heheheheheheh".

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

"DO YOU THINK THIS IS A FUCKING JOKE!?" Said the poorly drawn furry character, hands filled with monochromatic cutlery as he maintained poor consistency between PoVs.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

I prefer more Humany Creatures (Elves, Demons, Angels).

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Elves, demons, and angels can't drink saltwater. Or use their face as a handaxe. Or have 4 balls.

Not like I'm a Penguinite supremacist or anything. Your whole creature preference thing is very racist and it makes my scrot tie itself in knots.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Penguinites are pretty fucking cool. I'm just a septic eyeball in a tank attached to a robot.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

And I'm the anthropomorphic personification of how good (and stupid) humans are. Nobody's perfect.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago
Actually that sounds pretty freakish, it wouldn't be much of a stretch to write a demon character that that all applied to.

Maybe we should have a priest bless a nuke and drop it on the South Pole.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

The hole in the ozone is gone. Now we have to bring it back.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

But, what about all of the polar bears and other non-Penguinite creatures?

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Wrong Pole. There only penguins and seals in the south pole.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Ooh. My mistake.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Penguinites live in Scotland and Europe and the Middle East and Africa and Asia you racist football fuck.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

I'm not racist against any sentient creature (Furry or otherwise). I would just prefer to have skin (or scales) instead of fur.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

We sort of have scales. They're like resiney hairs that work like feather armor.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Be prepared to lead a Penguinte cult of some sort.

Is there any cool Penguinite legends, Sentsei?

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Penguinite cult? I hope I can join!

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Time to create our own Peguinite personas, young one.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Oh, yeah. We have monsters called Winter Men, which were highly trained genocidal sociopaths bred to deal with the Orc Menace like a thousand years ago. It was so evil that eventually the Clan leaders started hunting them down to murder them and we have an Orc Acceptance festival where everyone loves each other. It's like Civil Rights Christmas.

We also have a song about a very old Penguinite fellow, who, while fighting Orcs a little before this incident, pretty much invented the Meghite equivalent of "Go to Hell, you cuntblister."

In the process of translating a story about the Shovel-Wielding Dragonslayer whose name is literally "Fuck of God", because he seduced the Dwarves' God of the Forge to prove that it's still manly to swing the other way.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

That sounds interesting. Are there any you have translated already?

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Only those partial bits. I have to write down all their siege techniques and shit first so I can sell them as a Pathfinder mod or some shit have a fully developed world with justified furries. Gotta build up before you build out. That's rule #1 of monstrously large fantasy worlds.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Hm. Know that I am interested, and feel free to notify me when you accomplish anything related to this.

Oh, and what happened to the Winter Men?

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

May or may not have become Actual Satans before being all killed.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

I'll have to read it later.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

You seem worthy to break the n00b barrier. (The theoretical barrier of time and/or negative energy to which all n00bs are subjected to. Many fail, and are cast into oblivion. They rarely return.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

I accept! What is required?

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Oh, it's not something that I can bestow unto you. I simply hope for it. Don't fade into oblivion.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago
Zag is kidding, what he really means to say is you have to suicide bomb your COG account on one of their threads over there in other to truly prove your loyalty to CYS.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

I don't have one. I just like Choose your own adventure stories. COG were on the app store so I gained an interest. COG some some real good stuff (Most of which was made by Paul Wong). So I don't have one to suicide bomb.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

See, Mizal was joking. Break the N00b Barrier.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Interesting pledge... Where do I take it?

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Post it on your profile page. Go ahead.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

And swear your loyalty to the duke of darkness himself, T-Count! Does this mean I get a promotion?

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Let it  be known that on this day, the ninth of January 2017, ZagHero, AKA the original temporaryslave, has ascended himself to the rank of Senior Servant, distinguishing himself from the more recent additions to my imperial coalition. Thank you, faithful underling, for your service, and may you continue to serve the Count Fenrir until eternity's end.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

I shall continue to serve thee, and await for the dawn (or dusk) of our glorious and insurmountable force to grasp the reigns of victory.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Oh come the fuck on. "Senior Servant"!? The fuck is that, a Butler? Come the fuck on, you can get a higher rank working for a Dark Lord as a Dunkin' Cashier. He's like, one of your two followers, and you won't even let him be The Scheming Advisor!? Fuck's sake, I guess you don't even have the power to give him any proper superpowers, so The Dragon may be out of the question, but seriously!? Zag's a much better fan than you give him credit for, it's digusting. You're like that one police captain who upgrades their employee's ranks by a tenth of a class at a time.

Also, @Matthias, evil darkness shit is a big no-no on the path of the spork. Your holy cutlery is revoked, you bastard..

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

One of T-Count's *3 followers.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Isn't one just an alt, tho?

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

temporaryslave was me all along. I think the third is an actual dude.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Grocery stores exist.... *Buys a pack of sporks*

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Those don't have any powers. Those are lies and corrupted idols created by corporations to blot out the truth and cause health problems.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

The joke is on him, Sent. You can't buy sporks from everyday stores. Believe me, I tried.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

WHY WOULD YOU SETTLE FOR A FALSE SPORK!?

Come now, Zag, is there no steering you from this path? I can teach you the ways of goodness and shininess. It's actually kind of the opposite of Evil being the "Lazy Route" as it usually is, because Good is pretty trusting and you can get superpowers pretty easy.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

I know that Sentsei! The path which is narrow is always favorable! I'm stuck by my own pledge, and as I said a hero keeps his word. Even if he has sworn allegiance to a chaotic evil overlord.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

The day of both Utensils and Puddings are fleeting. Take whichever side you must today, but in the end, it will all have been meaningless. Let me deliver you to the truth, Zag (and Matthias)!

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Billions of years ago, and billions of years to come. It's not exactly fleeting. Perhaps, one day, light will find a new way to exert itself and provide the omniverse with protection, but the sporks have not yet reached the end of their cosmic service, and when they have left, all we need is to call upon the true heroes of the universe to provide us with another help. Because in the end, Dark and Light are only really inside us. Divine Intervention only shows us the way.

And Divine Intervention pretty much shows that Darkness is a fukt path unless you take it backwards.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Light is for puny confused blind mortals. Dark allows men to rise to godly ranks. For this era, you will have your say, but Light and Dark are just two sides of the coin -- a coin that will know destruction. This is my mission and the gift I bestow upon my underlings! They may choose Good or Bad, but in the end, they mustknow Chaos. Promising to be my slave now just gives them the much needed practice. Also, Dark allows them to be immortal enough to reach said endtimes and is more easily affiliatable with my ambitions.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

There is no such thing as chaos. Everything is perfectly played out in numbers and algorithms, every possibility and impossibility is neatly tied up in an alternate universe spawning alternate universes. It is all set paths, set reactions, we are no more capable of creating chaos than a self-writing Storygame... Which we are.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Order itself is chaotic and Chaos is an order. Construction exists to ultimately destroy. To be one with the universe, we must align with Chaos. Nothing is forever. All will end. (It's the very meaning of my username after all!) Clearly, you are inadequately educated in this manner, but worry not. The self-destruction of the very universe will be too complex for your paltry penguinite mind to comprehend and thus you have nothing to fear. Keep your foolish, one-dimensional ideals of sporks and Winter Men; I'll prepare myself for the coming of RAGNAROK.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Ragnarok is a petty, edgy, squabble that changes basically nothing in the face of infinity, and will always be a petty, edgy, squabble that changes basically nothing in the face of infinity.

And Winter Men are not ideals. They're literally an anti-racism legend, which makes your evil not only stupid, but also racist.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

1.) You spelt RAGNAROK wrong.

2.) Listen not to those foolish confused Nordic myths. They are written by plebeians as corrupted as you are.

3.) Time is a magnificent force. You will be amazed to see how my powers and knowledge develop in the many years to come.

EDIT: I will educate myself on the concept of these Winter Men. In due time.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

*Kicks leg*  The sporks will be mine! *Steals spork*

 

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

It started as a joke, but a hero keeps his word. I guess I'll have to forge a spork of my own...

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

These things take time, penguinite. Matt, Zag, remain faithful, by swearing your soul into my darkness, I have the ability to make titans out of you.

 

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

You're like a Pyramid Scheme, except instead of products you sell your own evil to people who have no idea what they're getting into. The light side will prevail, motherfucker.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

*takes notes*

So, Zag can somehow escape the grasp of darkness? This is emotionally confusing.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Of course it is. They're lies. Fanboy over the penguinite as much as you want, but do not let his foolishly optimistic myths sway your thinking from the truth.

The darkness doesn't grasps you, it is you that grasp the darkness.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

The darkness is weak, it has no hold on anyone who does not grasp it back. It does not exist to those who see through the illusions. You don't have to be a part of the contagious beast that is the darkness. You can vanquish it, seek your own power, become a true hero and shit.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

You fool! Light is the only illusion. The light blinds and fills hearts with meaningless positivity. Darkness gives nothing and allows great men to create their own thoughts without distraction. The wisest and strongest of men hold darkness in their hearts to strengthen themselves and spread it to their progeny to create great future ages. A day will come when you see that the purest light is darkness!

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

You're a fool, you fool. If Darkness allows people to rise independantly, why do you govern them? Why do you choose their rank!? The Buddha (A being of enLIGHTenment) proposed the same thing, but his followers were all equals, with no rank, and superpowers were matters of heaven and happenstance.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Equality? No. In this day and age, governing is needed. They haven't yet fully become one with the Spirit of Chaos! Do not scrutinize my methods! I'll hear no more of this!

Besides, it's pretty good motivation.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Your evil is self-contradicting. MARDOX could give you lessons in Dark Lording, and he makes the Silver Age Joker look like Sauron himself.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Do you know who I am?

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

A fool and a fraud. Full of petty anger and hatred, blinded by greed and jealousy, fear, megalomania, and unrestrained passion. And also Evil. I can get up from a guillotine and grow a new head. Can your "Head Servant" do that!?

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Naw bro. Not unless the Divine wills it.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Liss'n up, punk. This is Newbie Central. There's no place for you to preach your uninspired accusations and detestable fabrications. We'll settle this a later day.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Gah! Are these lies or truths? Did I do good or bad? I can't decide.....!

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

You have already taken the pledge. You cannot escape, sadly.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Fuck! I will find a way.....

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Nope. Your rep's stained with this forever.

And dude, it's been one day. You're gonna let some furry degenerate tell you what's what or you gonna listen to the coolest guy on the site here.

Zag! Contain your inferior!

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

>Furry Degenerate.

>Profile is emo deviantart wolf.

>Rants of psuedo-philosophy and Nietzscheness against a revennant who turned down the ubermensch prestige class

My kind of degeneracy is less stupid than your kind of degeneracy.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Well, it may be stupid, but at least it's not dumb.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

You take that back, you lying mongrel dog.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

I'm a wolf.

I stopped calling you the p-word out of respect.

I'd like the same.

Thank you.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Oh, right, so you can stop calling a Black person the  N-Word because it's not respectful enough, but you call him a monkey primitive and demand a respectful tone when he says you're a racist Honkey? This doesn't make any sense, puppington.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Now you're accusing me of racism.

Goddamboy! You just don't get me at all, do ya?

Next thing you know you'll be calling me a racist for having slaves? Not all slavery is bad! Some people can do it right. Just look at End. He naturally and very fairly debases people's self-respect enough to a level where they're willing to grovel to him. No one's complaining there. I'm just trying to build my own fucking autocratic empire from the labor of oppressed low-classmen I forcefully cajoled and enslaved. It's the goddamn American dream!

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Interesting.... No! I will stay with the darkness and won't fall for your worthless lies!

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

I literally can't lie. If I do, the forces keeping my undead regenerative body out of its gravehole will leave me and I will be a gangrenous mass of 50-year-old corpse.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

You don't intentionally lie, but you aren't speaking the truth.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

I have seen the realms beyond. I have gone to the other side of the other side of the other side of the realitous dodecahedron. I have spoken with my god. I have argued with my god. I have received foggy-limitted regenerativ immorality from my god. I know my shit, you are a fool, an idiotic fad that darkness will look back upon with embarrassment, and I have spoken only the truth from the beginning of this conversation to its bitter end.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

" I have received foggy-limitted regenerativ immorality from my god."

Immorality? You are a liar!

But no really -- 

A day will come when I will end you. Enjoy your haughtiness and confused morals, but do prepare for an upcoming onslaught.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

I was granted an immunity to death until the three universes I am charged with protecting either receive a new protector or are rid of serious evil altogether, not an immunity to typos. That day will only come when I have ascended... Which, if you really want to make me die for real, will only make things worse for you, making me one with the Enlightened Allmaker and all that shit.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

I'm prepared for that bastard. Thanks for the information. It will be of use when the time arrives.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Done.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Oh! Welcome to the brotherhood, Mattias!

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Let it be known that on this day, the ninth of January 2017, Matthias, has forever sworn allegiance to the magnificent temporaryaccount, and despite the word "temporary" being in his master's name, his reputation will forever be branded with this honorable burden. Well done, my underling. May you serve fruitfully and for a long time.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

You should post a sign-up thread somewhere, allowing others to join you.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Haha, a sharp one he is!

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

One day, but perhaps in the far future.

Um... Hello...

7 years ago

Yeah, you could do that too. Having to swear and display your allegiance to T-Count would keep you online more. Hopefully enough to have you molt your skin of n00bdom.

Um... Hello...

Assuming you mean Paul Wang, Sabres of Infinity and the sequel are pretty much my favorite games there.

Um... Hello...

Oh. That is slightly creepy.

Um... Hello...

I'm assuming that your profile picture is not from JoJo, so perhaps he took a look through forums games and found the jojo thread before it was deleted when he was a guest?
