Some stories have a message...kinda...

Additional Notes:

WARNING! (The real one)

This story is pretty offensive, it can get graphic and downright ruthless at times so if you don’t like that sort of humor, don’t read this story. But if you read it anyway don’t complain if you get offended, I did warn you and keep in mind it IS only a story.

(Or read it anyway, get offended and leave a hilariously triggered comment, that's fine too.)

Also, don't bother trying to "win" either. You can't. Just heed the moral lessons you may learn.

One musician's tale in a dying world

Additional Notes:

If you’ve read and liked Necromancer, then this might interest you as this story takes place during the same course of events of that story. (Not a prequel, not a sequel, but an equal!)

However, this story is definitely more “story” than “game”. In fact you shouldn’t even bother reading it if you’re intent on “winning”. You can’t. That being said, there is a “true ending” to this story and you’ll probably know if you get it. If you do get it, you can consider it a “win” if you like.

There are a few points in the story where there are links that lead to “Letters to Home”. While not necessary to understand the story, they do provide a little more insight into the protagonist’s thoughts and feelings on various situations.

The last hope for a dying empire

Additional notes:

This story can be very long assuming you're not dying. Years pass and your surroundings will most likely change. You may very well live a life time in the story.

As with any of my writings, the story comes before the game. However while there isn't a complex inventory and all of that, you can technically "win" by getting one of the epilogues.

There are 13 epilogues total.

There are also several points in the story where there are links that lead to more background information on various people, places, things and events. While not completely necessary to understanding the story, they do give you more insight into it.

Carnivals aren't all fun and games.

Additional Notes:

While there is only one spot that contains extra histories for this story, it's basically the background information of all the major characters and factions. It's strongly recommended that these are read due to the fact that your character will be interacting with most of these folks in his attempts to successfully accomplish his task(s).

This story has a very factional feel to it, so choose your allegiances carefully to get one of the better endings.

If you see a bright light, duck and cover!

Additional notes:

I should point out that this story can be very long assuming you're not dying. Years pass and your surroundings will most likely change. You may very well live a life time in the story if you're lucky. You will also experience a completely different adventure depending on how you escaped the initial nuclear strike. (Assuming you do survive it.)

As with any of my writings, the "story" comes before the "game". However, this story was written in a "game like" format. So while there isn't a complex inventory and all of that, you can technically "win" by getting one of the 4 special endings. (You'll know if you get one because you'll get an epilogue)

This one's for the kids, no really!

Additional Notes:

This story has clear cut win/lose endings. There is nothing excessively unusual about this story, it's just a simple "children's story".

(Yes, you can still die in it)

Running the family business isn't easy!

Additional Notes:

In a few places there are links for history or certain characters. While not necessary to understand the story, they do provide further background information.

There are several endings varying in degrees of good/bad or neutral outcomes. Technically there is one very happy ending, but it isn't labeled as such.

Underneath the sickness there's love...

Additional Notes:

WARNING!

This story contains a lot of graphic content, if you are offended by ultra violence, explicit sexual descriptions, tons of swearing, blasphemy, inappropriate dark humor, and brutal misanthropy in general then DO NOT read this story!

Of course now that I’ve mentioned all the things it contains, you’ll probably read it anyway, you sick little monkey.

Well don’t complain if you get offended, I did warn you and keep in mind it IS only a story.

(Or read it anyway knowing it'll offend you and leave an amusingly triggered comment. That's fine too.)

This also isn't really a "win/lose" type story. While there are some endings better than others, this is basically just a tale about a very twisted man and his very twisted lifestyle.

Additional Notes:

This story is definitely more "story" than "game", however there are two distinct paths that can be followed, each with their own pitfalls and additional choices. There is also "one true" ending in which can be considered a "win" (You'll know if you got it, because you'll get an epilogue)

This story can get long, and assuming you're surviving, years do pass in it and you and your environment will change. There are a few points in the story where there are links that lead to more background information on various people and things. While not completely necessary to understand the story, they do give you more insight into it. The text that accompanies some of the pics are also done for similar purposes (Your journal entries, personal thoughts, letters written to you, etc)

Humanity never changes...

Additional Notes:

There are links leading to various background information and your character's current thoughts throughout the story. In some cases these may provide greater insight since some mysterious things can occur in this story.

There are also several endings varying in degrees of good/bad/neutral outcomes. Technically there is one ultimate "winning" ending, but it isn't labeled as such.

Emotions can be wonderful or dangerous...

Additional Notes:

This story has a few bits that are probably a bit on the disturbing side. Not many, but they are there in places. So if you don't like that sort of thing, you probably shouldn't read it.

This story in general is probably a bit odd and less verbose than most of my other stories. There are also several endings varying in degrees of good/bad/neutral outcomes. While there are some endings better than others, this is basically just the tale of a teenager who definitely has some issues.

From humble beginning to infamy and beyond!

Additional notes:

This story is a fully self contained one and can easily be read on its own, however it also acts as a "sequel" to Innkeeper.

As with any of my writings, the story comes before the game. However while there isn't a complex inventory and all of that, you can technically "win" by getting one of the 12 epilogues.

Things would be so much easier if your name was Mary Sue

Additional notes:

This story is a fully self contained one and can easily be read on its own, however it also acts as:

A direct sequel to the "Good Girl" short story in Tales From The Basement.

A semi sequel to the other TFTB short stories, Repression, TRASH, Love SICK and Geek.

A semi prequel to Ground Zero.

As with any of my writings, the story comes before the game. However while there isn't a complex inventory and all of that, you can still "win" by getting one of the epilogues.

There are 16 epilogues total.

Because Basement Dwellers are people too!

Additional Notes:

This story is three stories in one. Your first choice will lead to a separate tale of a different “basement dweller”. Each one is mostly different in tone.

Ebay Escapist is weird and random. It’s the least verbose of the three. (Or my stories in general)

Good Girl is the longest and most descriptive of the three. There is some weirdness going on here too, but is mostly kept much more in "reality". There is a cast of characters link in the beginning to help you keep up with who’s who.

Anime Addict has a lot of offensive language and humor, so if you don't like that sort of thing you shouldn’t read this one.

In all the tales there are several endings varying in degrees of good/bad/neutral outcomes. While there are some endings better than others, these are basically just tales of basement dwellers.

It's an edgelord boogaloo!

Additional Notes:

This story is three stories in one where it follows a different protagonist based on the first choice.

This story is also probably really offensive or something. Probably shouldn't read it if that's not your thing, but feel free to do so anyway and complain loudly in the comments since those are always good for a laugh.

Anyway, there's your extra warning. You can't say you weren't told.

Incel Insanity and Whining Wokie are all new tales, while Film Fanatic is a "reboot" of sorts of an older story called Exploitation Theater. Yes, it's finally here and been greatly expanded on.

As always the story is always more important than the game focus, but also as always, you definitely can get better endings than others.

Three ladies. Three legends.

Additional notes:

This story is a fully self contained one and can easily be read on its own, however it also acts as a connection to Rogues, Eternal and Necromancer.

As with any of my writings, the story comes before the game. However there is an epilogue for each "winning" ending.

Yee Haw! It's a trailer park life for me!

Additional Notes:

This story has a ton of offensive langauge and humor so if you don't like that sort of thing, you probably shouldn't read it. Though given the setting, the language used is pretty accurate.

This also isn't really a "win/lose" type story. While there are some endings better than others, this is basically just a tale about a typical day of a degenerate that lives in a trailer park.

Yanji and Meadow are like the most triggered faggots on there. I think they even beat out NE in that regard. Yanji in particular cries whenever some alphabet person in the world is misgendered or some stupid shit.

It's sort of funny seeing as I had normal conversations with Meadow a couple times, once when he made an account and was planning on joining a contest here. Then of course flaked out, so still remains in the SHAME pit.

As far as me linking to "bigotry", again that must be a new retarded rule because shortly after I wandered in there years ago, Flame had pinned a direct link to the HATE archive on here when they were all hot on "overthrowing CoG." It's not like I changed suddenly so everyone was fine with me before.

Like I said, the KAE server pretty much degenerated into another overly sensitive CoGite fifedom that quakes in fear of saying anything that might reach the ears of Jason.

I think he ran off.

Meh, it was sort of inevitable after Bird left the server anyway. Place just started becoming more and more like the Cog forums which is why I sort of stopped looking in there as frequently.

But hey since we got this thread, might as well add to it, right?

Oh well you try and do a favor for people too scared to talk about the current Cogite drama on their own discord. Lol.

So just faggots all the way down then.

Well anyway another one for the archives and none of us even had to do anything except sit back watch the chaos unfold.

Thanks for the lols.

Yeah you can do it like that, whatever is easiest for you.

Well I guess if there's anything good, feel free to post the screenshots here. No point in letting the thread go to waste now that it's been created.

Meh, I'm sure if we haven't been mentioned in passing, someone will probably point this thread out.

I sort of figure that's why someone told me anyway and I have my suspicions on who it actually is, but I'm cool with dumping a little gas on a hot garbage fire

Bucky got pissed at all of us and left in a huff.

Not our fault he didn't like the movie Mad Max.

No we're not talking about Fluttershy (this time) it's another CoG shitshow.

Yeah I know we got bored of them a long time ago, but since someone bothered to think this was important enough to PM me about it I'll add it to the archive. (For history I guess) Some guy who made an account called Mr.Informer (There I mentioned you) sent me the PM.

Amusingly I actually knew about all this before I was PMed about it though.

Here's the whole story from what I know of it.

There's some author using choicescript to make some weeb faggotry game which seems about right, but apparently his discord is full of people saying shit like faggot, nigger and retard. (And probably a bunch of other things)

So unsurprisingly someone eventually dropped the dime on that and they got the discord banned off the CoG forums because of it. It's been like that for awhile I guess, but the game itself and the author were still somewhat active on there.

Also apparently the author was only doing straight romances, which as you can expect lead to a lot of screeching and was heavily frowned upon. Though because it was a second class citizen HG thing, he could somewhat get away with it, however I guess people started hacking the game so that they could go be gay with whatever character they wanted to be gay with.

This lead to the author putting in an "Anti-Gay" code that would reset relationship levels to 0 if they were gay. Later I guess he just eliminated romance of any kind. Lol

Seems like a lot of fucking hassle at this point even dealing with CoG shit at all on any level. I mean at this point just use fucking Twine and publish on ich. And it was likely the game wasn't going to be up to CoG's retarded standards anyway.

Alright so some faggot got into it with the rest of the faggots on there (And I'm calling ALL of them that, because they're all retarded CoGites as far as I'm concerned anyway) for exposing the anti-gay code and got banned from their discord since the author was pissed about it.

Well this lead to the same person snitching about what a terrible racist place it was to Dan Fagubitch and the rest of CoG staff. I don't think it was really much of a secret given the discord was already banned from the forums, but this probably jogged the staff's memories so the author got banned and the thread about the game got locked it seems.

Again this is just retarded on the author's part for using choicescript in the first place. Like if you know you're not catering to the highly triggered alphabet crowd and their CoGite ilk and are instead courting the closeted femboy loving 4chan crowd, why the fuck are you even bothering to use CoG?

And yeah I've heard the arguments of "Oh well you reach a bigger audience by using their forums." but I'm not really convinced its worth it due to all the shit you have to put up with. It's like how I just shook my head whenever the KAE server would talk shit about CoG and then suddenly there would be "Shhh, calm down guys!"

It's a fucking horrible way to exist having to watch what you say in your own "home" as it were.

There's avenues other than CoG and yeah maybe you'd have to put in more work, but I mean if it's really all that important, then you put in the extra work. (And you'd get to keep more of your money in the process)

Anyway here's a link if anyone's interested, I've provided the main highlights though. I suppose if anyone else has some clarifications on this they can post it here.

Dead Gay Horse

Or y'know just say "Lol, fag" and carry on.

3J's really been gone longer than his last 2021 log in, his last post was in 2019 which was the last year he did any meaningful activity. I think he logged in once in 2021 and that was it.

Didn't even bother saying hi/bye to any of us other than Gower which is sort of funny considering Gower's a CoG triple agent spy.

Dunno what's going on with Briar/Avery. We're hoping she's okay though.
