CYS Monthly Gazette - 8 January 2026 by MiltonManThing on 01/13/2026

There is a murderer of seven that did repeatedly hit a one-year-old boy with a board until he died and then threw the body into the well. I would have linked the New York Times article, but it's subscription blocked.

Yeah, it was a wild theory anyways. I was tired when I suggested it, and I was even more tired when I thought of how it could happen, lol.

Linear Storygames? by Fabrikant on 01/13/2026

I think it needs to fit your artistic vision. A storygame without any branching would just be a short story (or a novel). It pretty tough to write a short story that can compete with branching interactive storygames, but why not.

There are plenty of story games here that are linear wit...

Overall I second RK's message in that it completely depends on scope and intent. Naturally making something with a complete lack of choices or branching kinda defeats the point of writing a "storygame". Still for some stories, and especially shorter ones meant to be played once rather than to absolu...

Sorry, I missed linking to the actual article. Only the first was definitively convicted, although he was sentenced to a reform school instead of jail. The fate of the others is sparse or non-existant without more research than I am willing to do at the moment, although some of the older murderers...

I am calling for talent for CYS’ first CYS has Skills? competition!

If you have a hidden talent, skill or can at least flop amusingly across the floor for our judges, fill out THIS FORM!

One first place prize winner will win: 1) 100 pointless points 2) a CYS has Skills? trophy 3) a MHD comm worth $25.00 !

The date will be Saturday, January 31st. This should give you enough time to prepare your talent. Talents include but are not limited to: a dramatic reading of an excerpt of your own writing, playing or singing a musical piece, or drawing live caricatures. Please keep your talents under 5 minutes!

This event will occur on Discord.

More details to come.

Clarification on Forum Conduct

Posted 1/6/2026 by hetero_malk

Hey all,

We've noticed a bit of a trend in a specific kind of low-quality posting recently. While we're not instituting any purges or planning sweeping censorship programs, which sucks because I already bought the dogs and black uniforms, I've conferred with the other mods and we think it's a good idea to clarify a matter of forum conduct. Our culture here is a rare and precious thing: we've managed to avoid becoming CoG-lite, but it's equally important that this place doesn't become an interactive fiction themed /pol/. 

What we're really discouraging is outright racial animus on the site. Don't say your favourite word that ends with a hard R, don't sincerely call for the extermination of whole groups. No one's going to be policing your obvious jokes, but we're also going to do the necessary pruning to avoid looking like a Nazi hangout.

Cheers,

Malk
