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.

@MissileSender You should join us on Sunday to actually write something and counter the idea you're just another edgy teen with a proxy.

There was this one time that Avo said "fuck".

DETAILS: Saturday at midnight CST I'm making a new thread, it will contain the prompt. (I'm sending it to Clayfinger a few hours early on account of the severe timezone handicap.) Entries will be due 11:59pm Sunday CST. To enter, put the game in Sneak Peek and post a link in the thread.You shouldn't be able to publish them, that is by design. We don't need a flood of these on the front page. Publish them later when they're properly polished. The winner will be decided over the following week by the community, and possibly a few people from outside it. There will be Google forms provided for feedback and rankings. RULES: - Stories must be complete with branching and no dead ends to qualify. - NO MEME FIC.

I'm remaining cautiously optimistic that all newbies are real, trusting that the pretenders struggle so much with human behavior they'll unavoidably reveal themselves in time.

Is your family Armenian?

¿Prefieres el español?

Real ones just put dots and labels on a green blob in paint.net.

In "The cake that/which they served was pink," the restrictive clause is "that/which they served." To remove it renders the sentence incomplete: what cake was pink? Which is used to introduce a nonrestrictive clause, i.e., a clause that adds information to the sentence but isn't essential for understanding the sentence's basic idea. In "The cake, which was delicious, was pink" the clause "which was delicious" adds nonessential information; we still know that the cake being discussed was pink. That formerly did this job as well, especially in poetry, but the use is now rare. that 5 of 5 adverb ˈt͟hat 1 : to such an extent a nail about that long 2 : very, extremely —usually used with the negative … did not take the festival that seriously. —Eric Goldman

Okay false alarm, it was tested by others and works, apparently I had a file that didn't download or got corrupted in the most recent update and it made wacky things happen. Reinstalled the most recent version now and it's fine. This thread never happened and let's never talk about it again. edit: I did just get a shitty popup though asking me if I wanted an AI to "summarize the page", nasty and gross.

Maybe it's just that it's very late and I'm tired, but it's cracking me up seeing all the text walls you guys are posting, interspersed with the true masters of the review, getting right down to the core insights without a single wasted word:
