Election Thread 2024 or Here We Go Again by ISentinelPenguinI on 11/06/2024

The funniest CYS Injoke is when we pretend for the sake of politeness that Celicni is any one of these things.

Yeah, that one definitely did end up being an interesting decision by the UK in retrospect. Most British people voted for it just for immigration, lets be honest, but what most British people failed to realise is that most immigrants arent actually illegals, theyre either Asylum seekers who just ...

I mean you could always point to Brexit which was basically like the UK version of voting for Trump except it apparently buggered up their whole country a lot more severely than whatever idiot we had in office at any given time.

I only ever hear other Euros going on about how retarded t...

Sherbet's Summer's End Synergy Contest

Posted 9/3/2024 by Sherbet

It's that time of year, people are going back to school (if they're YOUNG and GROSS) and the apathy of the summertime becomes but a fond memory. Instead of procrastinating on writing, the youth can now procrastinate on their schoolwork WITH writing while also becoming RICH in collaboration with their fellow Cystians, in the Summer's End Synergy Contest, in a beautiful surprise twist to close out the season.

Naturally, the reward for winning the contest is fortune, glory, and prestige.

However, to spice things up this time around, I've cooked up some bonus incentives in order to increase our numbers.

BONUS INCENTIVES! (No, they don't stack)

1. If there are at least 10 successful contest entries, the top five will receive 50 points, while all other valid participants receive 25 points.

2. If there are at least 15 successful contest entries, the top five will receive 75 points, while all other valid participants receive 50 points.

3. If there are at least 20 successful contest entries, the top five will receive 100 points and guaranteed story commendations, while all other valid participants receive 75 points.

Prompt: A recent event has caused the protagonist to go through a difficult change.

It's a pretty open-ended prompt, there are a lot of directions you could go with it. Just as long as you don't tuck any relevance of the prompt away hidden in one specific page in a sub-branch, you're going to be okay, I promise, just stop freaking out, just calm down.

I should also note that while anything above minimum site standards technically qualifies as a valid entry, any 3.01/8, 2000-word slop will be thoroughly looked down upon by my higher council, and I might just feed your points to @ISentinelPenguinI out of spite. Do yourself a favor, start early!

The deadline will be October 31st November 3rd at 11:59 PM (PST).

Best of luck!

Site Updates 2024

Posted 9/1/2024 by Ford
General thread for 2024 updates to the codebase.

Stuff is changing in the background. Most users will notice nothing different. If you're not on the discord server you will have no idea what is going on, but that's ok. I forgive you. Just know that you are safe here in my arms :^)

The next update will happen on 9/11 - so if nobody is able to login on that day and the site dies we'll have our own 9/11 to never forgetti.

Maybe I'll push some changes that end-users will actually notice, you never know. Also the development of a new engine has been started in earnest. Best get your dreams and wishes for the editor in front of me before I make irreversible design decisions that make your "turing complete CYS cookie clicker factory roguelike" impossible.
