A Stack of Cats

You are a man on a mission. The cats, they must be stacked.

A puzzling math and logic game I made just to put some of the scripting practice I've been doing to use. Have fun and please let me know if you encounter any bugs.

Should be solvable by middle schoolers, or those with same basic level of intelligence as a middle schooler.

Agent of Order

Orbiting a barren planetoid in a system full of nothing just past the edge of the frontier, The Last Outpost is just another refueling station. Strategically important, true, but on a routine stop you never expected to spend longer than a couple hours there, let alone a couple of days fighting for your life...

There are five epilogues, but some may be difficult to discover. Note that actions have consequences, but not always immediate ones. (And if you just need an End Game link, go play around with the probe.)

Facts About the Planet and the Solar System

A compilation of some little known facts about the solar system, as well as the debunking of a few myths.

In addition to the scientific explanations, there's a small story dramatizing it all.

Hopefully young readers will find this fun as well as educational. :)

(Might not be the greatest story ever written, but consider this: it got me 200 points.)

Inseparable

It doesn't matter what they say...

Jack the Bean Counter

KOBOLD KEBABS

For Endmaster's 4th Prompt Contest. The story must involve a cooking competition.

Love is for the Birds

...and the squirrels. Sort of.



Written in six hours, for no other reason than to avoid consignment to the SHAME pit after my other Romance contest entry didn't want to cooperate.

Now You Gotta Deal With This S***

A tale told in verse. A text from your sister requesting a pick up from a party leads to a night of strangeness.

Inspired by Bucky's ballad contest. Though...I wouldn't call this a ballad. I'm not sure what I'd call it, actually, other than exceedingly stupid, and fun to write.

(Don't pay any attention to the scores, they're just for me to track which endings reviewers get.)

Read My Stories or Die!

HATE.

THE PURITY AND INTENSITY OF MY HATE IS LIKE A THOUSAND MERCILESS, UNQUENCHABLE SUNS.

AND YET, I ONLY NEED ONE...


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Silver Horn, Silver Hooves

When the weather is fine, you've been coming to this grove to drink from the pool for centuries now. Today, you meet a stranger and hear a story that changes all that...



A fairy tale adventure.

Another Damn Wolf Story

Character Creator

A list of storygames with substantial effort put in, all written in the last couple of years and sorely in need of ratings and reviews.

A modernized guide to the forums. The path to internet popularity and happiness, and a few CYS specific do's and don'ts.

It's really just about spacing events and information out so they build on what came before without overwhelming the reader with too much at once, or boring them with too little stretched out over too long. It gets more complicated when dealing with a branching story of course.

Warden on Warden violence, it does not concern more civilized folk.

This is still all happening btw, there were just some IRL issues making mid January not a good time for the authors selected for the relaunch. New thread should be up before the end of the month though. Just as well anyway since the Gazette put up a lot of stories right around that time, and readers seem to be feeling a little apathy at the moment.

...how do you think that worked out for people in Civil War pt 1?

Yeah, that's the issue, the circumstances the Second Amendment was created by and that America itself was founded under no longer exist, the founders could not even conceive of the military power and far reaching federal control over the narrative available today, even most people today don't get it. Hell, a mob of regular people can only even be directed by Trumpus Christ to storm the Capitol when they're white and middle aged and fat enough and it's all unprecedented enough to not be immediately perceived by clueless polite Democrats as a threat. Regular non violent protestors in DC will get tear gassed and driven off so that Trump can take a photo of himself holding a Bible. And a man filming with his phone will get gunned down by goons and most of my relatives will be fervently defending the shooters and saying the guy had it coming. Someone ACTUALLY using a gun, Trump would have a field day with and use as an excuse to declare martial law or enact a bunch of other far reaching policies he's been itching to pull the trigger on. Look at the reaction when those two National Guardsmen were killed. (by a man with a history of working with the CIA but shhhh.) Or the more obvious example of Charlie Kirk. Everything is just fresh straw to spin with in the hands of the people who control the brainwash machine called Fox. I don't actually know what the solution is, even nature taking its course on an old man with dementia and more cheeseburger grease than blood in his arteries isn't going to close Pandora's box. These escalations of force are just one more chapter in the playbook on power abuse that Trump has outlined for every President to come, as well as the knowledge that half the country just doesn't care what they do or how much hypocritic reversal or straight up criminality it involves. I guess it might somewhat break apart the cult of conservative conformity at least once they're lacking the figurehead, but that's assuming someone else doesn't just grab the same lever now that they've seen what makes the cattle go mooo. Back to your original point though, it's typically the far right guys who start buying more guns and organizing into militia groups in response to a Democrat getting into office, it's part of some elaborate cosplay where they're all LARPing about how they're prepared to live off the grid in the woods to resist being CANCELED or the 5G mind control waves or whatever. But these types could become a smal, short lived terrorist cell at most, due to the fact that yeah, technology exists and armed rebellion by regular chuds isn't going anywhere.

Oh right, I guess it would be different over there lol. I'm sure we have some like that too, especially in the northeast. But in South and Central America as well as Texas and California they had this catastrophic event known as "the Spaniards" happen in the 1500s, and as a result 50% of Hispanics are Catholic still. (This is also why the capybara is a fish.)

They should ask him to draw a clock while they're at it.

Cheese is too a topping though. You can order a pizza without it, or with extra. Even if I'd allow you this one though, this take is still bad. Next you're going to say all sandwiches but grilled cheese are terrible.

I think aside from the question of voter demographics, some of the earlier posts were all sort of straddling the line of a 2nd Amendment rights discussion anyway, which should probably just be its own thread. (Luckily/unluckily it is only relevant if Wildblue wins the lottery though, because I'm sure benholman's contributions would be fun.) EDIT because see I can do it too: the extreme right in the religious sense by and large are the kind of Christians who think Catholics are pagans, will tell you they hate denominations, and can't make up their mind on whether Christmas trees are evil or not.

Kamala did not inspire confidence. But also most Catholics I know are both very much against Trump and also didn't vote this election, in the same way they don't ask for raises at a job they've been working at for 15 years only to make less than the new hires. There's a real defeatist attitude of "there's no point". (And living in a red state, they might be right.) 43% voting Democrat still seems like a huge amount when you consider the way evangelicals went all in though. Of course, the vast majority of black voters went for Kamala, but I'm not sure if they're really among the ones actually angry at Tdump right now. And across the board it's really hard to say how much race and gender is a factor in things like that--but looks at the actual numbers it looks like Michigan had the highest percentage of Catholic voters by far, and well duh, that's a very white state. . But I'm seeing discussions on him losing those kind of swing votes recently (guess they're finding out the cost of alliances of convenience), and the Catholic Church as an entity at least is taking a strong stance regardless of what US voters are doing. I don't really have a point, just autism. But the people being targeted by these crackdowns are for the most part going to be Catholic by default. Edit: I will no longer edit in response to your edits, calm down with those jeez
