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.

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.)

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.)

The bean, it must be found.
For MHD's Fairytales contest.
For Endmaster's 4th Prompt Contest. The story must involve a cooking competition.
...and the squirrels. Sort of.

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.)
HATE.
THE PURITY AND INTENSITY OF MY HATE IS LIKE A THOUSAND MERCILESS, UNQUENCHABLE SUNS.
AND YET, I ONLY NEED ONE...
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

I have no idea why I wrote this. All I can say in my defense is that it seemed like a good idea at the ti--wait no that's a lie, I said, repeatedly that this was stupid and shameful every time I mentioned working on it.
The truth is I needed to publish something before the end of the year and there is CLEARLY a burning need for wolf stories in the psyche of children using the internet. But then they write them badly, or make their wolves behave like clans of cats. So here is a simple straightfoward story of a young wolf leaving his pack in search of a better life. Maybe no one will ever feel the need to write another one now, or if nothing else maybe this will give them ideas for how to do it in slightly more minimum-standards-meeting ways.
Final conclusion however is that writing about some dumb animal with no agency is not something I'd recommend.

ChatGPT-induced Psychosis on 11/18/2025 11:52:13 AMSo it seems over the last couple of years, people have been sending in AI generated letters to scientific journals in order to cheat the system and be counted as "published" in a journal.
The person that figured this out was in sort of an obscure field, and had an AI letter cite two of his own papers back at him while making claims about info they did not contain. And looking into it further there were other people (mostly from the Middle East and China) who had never had any publications previously suddenly publishing in dozens of magazines as experts on dozens of topics over just a short period of time.
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/04/science/letters-to-the-editor-ai-chatbots.html. (not sure if that will be paywalled, NYT links are inconsistentb that way)
Later I'll try and dig up a much funnier article I saw the other day on lovely delusional people in their 40s who have started dating AIs they think of as people. But this one seems a lot more like, actually significant since these journals are now having to rethink how they handle letters

Beep boop?

Why would you read that and think he was saying you were being immature anyway? The entire post was directed at Harper, until he made a derogatory reference to him being 13 and then made an aside comment, "no offense to Avo". That was because you are 12 and might take offense at a comment about someone being 13.
I'm not even going to delve into how jokes about Cavus and RK needing to not lose to a 12 year old were "depressing" for you. But it would indeed be depressing for them, and funny for everyone else, if that were to happen.
...holy crapola okay and now I think I now need to take a break from this thread, I am all out of Overexplaining Juice.

You must not have used the site much in September.
But okay, since there seem to be massive amounts of confusion:
1) Avo is currently in a match with Cavus and RK, as most of you know. The thread is titled Kill Avo or Else, as most of you have seen. The contents of the first post discuss how humiliating it would be for Cavus or RK, geown men, to lose to a 12 year old girl. This relates to the title of the thread.
2) Harper claimed to be 13 when he's probably younger than 13. Blister claimed to be 17 when he's probably younger than 17. If either of them are the ages they claimed they are, it'a no longer just annoying, it's depressing. That's why I said that. There was no reference to Blister being in the Thunderdome.
3) Daiki was also never in the Thunderdome and has no relation to this discussion.
There, I hope that cleared things up. If there is still confusion, everyone involved please consult a doctor.

Neither Harper or Daiki have had anything to do with the Thunderdome, thankfully. Avo is just up against Cavus and RK right now and they're well aware of the lowercase, personal shame this could result in.
I am not sure why the Thunderdome was brought up here at all tbh, guess it's just been on her mind.
(Harper did however in the other thread claim he was 13, had ADHD, and then doxxed himself in a fit of anger. )

I don't know if it'll stop him, but I feel like they actually do need to be aware he's doing something as dumb as trying to aggro people and then namedropping into like that in front of any random internet viewer we have no way of identifying or controlling.

She may not be able to see the image.
She can read the 7/8 maturity games any time she wants though, keep in mind. Those parental filters are so effective.

Honestly at this point I suspect Harper has genuine brain problems that have nothing to do with ADHD, and nothing to do with being 13.
That is of course if he's actually 13, there are reasons I'm pretty sure he's in elementary school instead. And honestly the only possible excuse for the way he's acted is being a 9 year old with neglectful parents. (Only possible excuse for most of the way he acted, the AI of course is unforgiveable.)
But 13 would take him from annoying to just bizarre and depressing, similar of what claims of 17 did to Blister

You'll understand when you're in your 20s just how humiliating it would be to lose to a 12 year old.

And since I see the thread was split, here is the rest of it so archive divers of the future won't be confused.
