Lauded Sage Exemplar

Behold my profile.
There's, uh, nothing here right now. Someday I should probably find a balance between the old text wall, and...this. (she drew my avatar you know!)

>DEVOTION

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

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.

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.

Our Four-Fingered President.

Also, looking it up the $750 from FEMA, "a one-time $750 payment to help with essential items like food, water, baby formula and other emergency supplies”.

So it has nothing to do with applying for aid through the usual methods and is meant as a stopgap thing for urgent and immediate needs.

I really hope nobody's kids are going hungry because they saw an FB post by a malicious shit stirrer and instantly believed it without bothering to spend 10 seconds typing "fact check" into Google, but meh, there's no cure for stupid. (Or lead poisoning...)

Darius_Conwright @benholman44 Your prompt:: The protagonist makes an unexpected arrival on a strange island. Usual rules, should be a 2000 word maximum, send it to me for reposting for the vote. Due Monday night at 11:58PM CDT.

This game really needs better options for enforcing Human superiority. The absolute best I can do is make the animals live in segregated shacks. And not let them bake out biscuits and pies of course, disgusting creatures.

Ugh fine, but just this once.

Worldbuilding is fundamental, NO COMMENDATION FOR YOU.

End forgot the part where she was literally a whore on Craigslist at 16. (Although that could be where the blackmail part came in; 16 is legal in Australia but not as a business transaction I guess. I do remember her saying something about having to lie about her age there anyway.)

Of course a lot of this I took with a grain of salt. She'd always disappear for a couple of months and then spawn into the old IRC chat with some new over the top story of degeneracy. But I mean, it could've just been some weird attention seeking thing, there was never any proof. Not than anyone would want to see it, lol.

I haven't thought about Evil Genius in years lol. I don't know of it a a good game by anyone's standards now, but it was a lot of fun. There was an old game, a "fantasy kingdom sim" called Majesty that was entire life for a bit in high school. Another one I'm not sure how well it holds up now, you have to do some fiddling to get it in fullscreen at a modern screen resolution anyway, but it might be something you want to look up someday. There were a bunch of scenarios your settlements had to deal with, but it had a really easy to use map and scenario editor too. The gimmick was that you built guilds and hired heroes, then built all the other goods and services and upgraded bulldings as needed, but couldn't control them beyond placing exploration and bounty flags around. They had a lot of behaviors and personality with their little voice clips, so it was fun just to sit back and watch them go about their day shopping and studying and then deciding to join a group clearing out a goblin lair. The bounty money they'd then take back to town and spend on potions and gear from the blacksmiths, and they all could gain levels and learn new abilities with experience. You had a choice at one point of adding gnomes, dwarves, or elves, but they wouldn't co exist. I usually added elves for the economy boost but they were annoying little bastards. Decadent blue haired hedonists who built gambling halls and lounges your adventurers would waste money in, while they themselves would constantly get murdered stirring up monsters while trying to reach inns on the edge of the map to make extra cash as bards. Oh yeah, and Against the Storm is still a very solid game. It goes at a very relaxed pace so may not be for everyone, but there's plenty of challenge and detail. Might be one of those "easy to play, hard to master" type games, although I haven't had time to play a huge amount so I'm still getting a handle on production trees. Though it also works great as a sleep aid if you leave it running lol. Lots of chill piano music over rain.

Thanks for running this, it did get us a lot of big essay style reviews. And congrats to those of you who put in effort--maybe it wasn't made clear enough but this really was a contest where participation on all levels is appreciated. I hope in the next one we'll see even more people joining in. (Or rather, joining in and then proceeding to actually write some reviews.) You don't have to expect to be able to Asian tryhard your way to the top with Mystic and Darius to make meaningful contributions that authors will appreciate. Anyway, points will be handed out this evening.

That's okay, IBV was a big whore who retains only meme status in the lore.
