Entry to Endmaster's Prompt Contest 3

Play as Urga, the founder of the prestigious Church of Desires, an infamous underground religion that specializes in darkness, debauchery, destruction, and most importantly, delivering coinage to Urga (although try not to tell that last bit to the followers, it wasn't in the pamphlet for a good reason).

However, Urga's time of frolicking in the deepest recesses of society is now over, as one of his many, many, oh so many enemies has sent warriors after him,

Urga's no fighter, but to what lengths will he go to survive? Up to you.

CW: Violence of the physical, verbal, and sexual varieties, as well as all the accompanying unpleasantry. Also, demon dick.

Author's Note: There is an optimal ending, however it and all the other endings are unmarked. If you reach a page with only an End Game link, you have "won".

Entry to Endmaster's Manifest Destiny Contest.

You are a historian, searching for tales about the mythical Bogatyrs, who were heroes of somewhat Arthurian quality. You managed to locate an archive of their exploits, which had once been passed down in oral form only, stored in a remote castle, taken care of by an old man of similar historian persuasion as you.

In a world where consciousness is stored on a hard drive, the most heinous crime is hacking.

Author's Note: A police officer is supposed to be a righteous dispenser of justice, but in the future, the idea of morality is basically nonexistent. Nonetheless, a lot of choices in this game can be broken down into "things a good, moralistic police officer should do" and "amoral things that get the job done". Going down one path or the other will eventually result in you being locked out of the other entirely, but it will also give you access to new epilogues and options.

Winner of the Cyberpunk Contest.

A Halo fanfiction. Story knowledge is not required, but some basic knowledge of the franchise is ideal.

On a desolate colony near the edge of human space, a Forerunner installation is located. ONI sends an expeditionary force, containing a single Spartan II, to investigate. However, ONI aren't the only ones searching for Forerunner tech.

After the Dark Age of Technology during the 21st and 22nd centuries, humanity decided to reach for the stars. Or at least the megacorps decided to, leaving behind anyone too poor or too stubborn or too old to board the ships headed for Mars and Europa. With that, the Great Expansion started: Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, the Asteroid Belt, all were encompassed by the sovereignty of the newly formed United Human Federation, or UHF. Well... that's what the UHF would have you believe. The truth is a different beast entirely.

After graduating a prestigious engineering college on Mars and patenting a valuable new piece of tech, you were approached by the Black Hoods, a completely untraceable organization that dealt with the salvage of shipwrecks across the solar system. Despite the absurd protocols (all in the name of total secrecy), the mind-boggling pay convinced you to join. What can you discover among the derelict wreckage of humanity?

Actually, mizal is a flat circle. Checkmate, mizal

I hope mizal gets banned for getting this poor sod so high he pissed and shitted his work pants.

We should also ban corgi because he ate all the lettuce again.

These mice cooked with this one. I wish I could spread this post everywhere, because it's applicable for basically everyone who's a kid or has kids.

Thank you Mystic, it actually means a lot coming from you. Your work ethic is and has been an inspiration for me; you contribute so much to the site while also grinding for something very difficult in real life.

We really need to get the kids on ADRIFT, it's not even that difficult to set up, and Theo is a chill guy who deserves the love.

I'm genuinely pissed at how many people in the modern world dilute actual, real problems by claiming that "X is racism" or "Y is pushing kids to kill themselves". Just look at current American politics and anyone can easily see the negative consequences that have come about from these Boy Who Cried Nazi arguments. If everyone is a Nazi in someone's eyes, then it becomes a lot more difficult to prove to the opposition that yes, that person really is a filthy fucking Nazi. Unfortunately this trend will likely never stop because virtue signaling is a great way to build social clout and easily get followers, but hopefully we can avoid it on CYS

Your first paragraph is a strawman argument and your second paragraph claims your arguments aren't?

Your rhetoric is not only holier-than-thou to an unbearable degree, but it's also holier-than-Swiss-cheese in terms of its content.

My account is half my irl age at this point, and you can actually see in my points history when I was acting like a pubescent ball of hormones and cringe. When all my points were taken away I literally cried and punched a wall because of how badly my feelings were hurt. Interestingly enough, I also lost points for acting racist at this time (it was just an edgy joke that I since regret, but it still got me docked)! That's odd, because reading your OP makes it seem like this site is 50% vitriol-flinging KKK members. In reality, I suffered from actual bullying while playing online video games. I still remember how many people told me that they would rape and/or kill me while I was playing Destiny and Halo back in the day because I had an effeminate 12-year-old's voice. Yet I stuck around because these mouthbreathers were surprisingly competent at Vault of Glass.

The conclusion I have come to after reading through every reply in this thread is that you have no idea what CYS actually is now. It's like you're arguing with a ghost. You have no finger on the pulse of the forum or the people of this site. I came here because of the Goosebumps novels, which had a lot of dark and edgy themes, emulsified to make them suitable for elementary school child consumption. I WANTED more violence and edgy stuff in my CYOA experiences, so Endmaster stories were really appealing. I didn't behave myself though, and I got brutally vibe checked by the community as a result. After bawling over my loss of pointless points, I had a moment of realization that resulted in me taking a long break, and eventually coming back to become an irrelevant minor character, but no one has bullied me for my previous transgressions!

As someone who was on the verge of committing suicide, who also struggles with constant intrusive thoughts of suicide and suicidal ideation, I think it's frankly gross that you're likening the typical forum behavior to ACTUAL cyber bullying 

I've worked as a sports educator and summer camp counselor for five years now, and have had to curb bullies in real life situations numerous times. The behavior of CYStians is simply not comparable to sociopaths with abusive and vulgar tendencies. Trying to make the community out to look like this is a perverted leap of logic. Many other CYStians have posted excellent posts in this thread, so I'm kinda glad you made it, if at the cost of all your community cred and respect (at least in my eyes). I'm on my phone and on a loud, overstimulating Japanese train, so this ended up being an unstructured rant and I might not have covered all my bases, but I'll close by saying that this is the best state I've ever seen CYS' community in. We have defeated Kielstein, cast off the furry menace, and we have more productive and wholesome members than ever before, as well as more banger storygames than ever before!

I'm catching lots of strays in this thread, what the hell!

Ah, the victim card. I'm going to assume you're not a troll account because it's pretty low quality trolling if it is indeed that.

As someone else with ADHD and autism (at least I assume that's what you meant by "aurtizem"), I can tell you that your life is going to absolutely suck if you never take criticism, and always come up with excuses. Life doesn't revolve around you, and most people are just going to laugh at you for being monumentally retarded. You have to use your brain, take in information, think on it, and utilize it. Maybe start by reading what you wrote before you post it, that certainly helps me!

THINK MARK, THINK!

Let's say you go to the dentist and they numb your whole fucking mouth to drill into your teeth. Despite the complete lack of feeling or sight of your teeth, you can still hear the horrific scraping of drill bit on hard enamel.

Lol fag.
