Do not post in Morgan's thread.

Finally, a challenge I can get behind. I expect the losers to be listed here every week.

Yet another contest to lose

Challenge accepted!

This might be the most CYS like challenge I have witnessed.  A challenge to do nothing and remain apathetic (or just plain old pathetic) in a thread.

Of course, now that you mention it.  I kinda want to post.

Ok

I accept the challenge.

It's about time I stop procrastinating and do something. This is a tough one but I'm sticking to it, dammit.

For the next 33 years.

@fresh_out_the_oven already failed and shamed.

To be fair, I said that would happen

Embarrassing.  Young people today have no understanding of the concept of apathy

How about you do something actually constructive on this site?

For once we agree on something, welcome fellow slothman

So far 3 heretics have violated your decree.

Yeah, I don't get it. If someone really, truly, for some unfathomable reason wanted to write something that happened to coincide with a prompt in that thread, they could always make their own. But they keep disqualifying themselves, the lazy slobs.

They could be taking her ideas and making it seem like their own, fucking retards lol

Or, they could just do this:

Library

To say it is impressive would be an understatement. The library is an indoor forest—brimming with lush, green canopies; books carved into the trees; fog swirling around the upper branches. Artificial sunlight casts a soft glow over the reading room. The second I step onto the grass-like carpet, the scent of earth and books blend into one.

“Welcome to the Wisdom Libraries.” The queen speaks with fondness. “It is home to the largest collection of books, writings, and scrolls.”

I do my best not to gape. There are books everywhere I look. Some are half-hidden in cages of flowers and vines—the restricted collections, no doubt—while others line the hollowed-out rock formations. Wooden signposts lead to entire sections of the library: non-fiction, fiction, advice, poems, spells.

Pretending to choose a path at random, I follow the route to a sparkling, clear waterfall. It sprays the surrounding rocks with blue droplets. 

“This is one of my favorite locations to read at,” the queen says.

I can’t keep the awe from my voice. “It is truly beautiful.”

After I’ve stared at it for a few moments too long, I tear my gaze away, turning my sights to the sign-post above. It points to spells for the elven, others for merfolk and sirens, and just as I’m worried I’ve taken the wrong path, I see it.

Spellsingers’ shore.

I take a step forward, only to realize the queen is staring. Oh no. She definitely knows now. I can almost imagine the inner workings of her mind, piecing together my words and actions. 

(This is an extract so more words and refining would eventually be added). 

Heretics remain at 3

Now it's 4

@TypewriterCat

Don't tag me, you fucktard. I never agreed to participate in this challenge.

I will tag who I want. But you showed up like a good kitty.

You don't have to agree, you are still a heretic.

I'm not disagreeing, but the only person previously tagged was Fresh, who agreed to participate in this.

Im just logging heretics, so I know who to burn at the stake.

Take @Aldreda and @Petros while you’re at it.

Yes, I have counted 4

I should really read these threads before I post in them. 

I will not be called a heretic. I would eat your flesh in revenge except this is the internet and I already made myself sick on corned beef hash and hominy

You have violated sacred decrees blessed by the elders.  You are a heretic, and therefore must suffer.

Let your inquisitors do their worst. Here I stand; I can do no other. God help me.

P.S. I’m gay

Whoa. What a weird thing to say.

Nope, solidly on brand.

Why are you gay?

Because that’s what the postscript says, obviously

While that is accurate, and to all appearances, my attractions haven’t changed, I can’t dispute the knowledge of the postscript

It's refreshing that you admit it. I thought you were going to make some ridiculous and obviously false claim like "my post was edited" or something like that, and then we would all just be embarrassed for you.

If I were to make that claim, it would be on the basis of “im” rather than “I’m”

On closer examination the story in the thread was actually hilarious, so I commended it.

But a weird thing that literally can't be disproven is that I had to edit it just now to capitalize every usage of 'i' as a proper noun, and add apostrophes, because for some reason you did neither.

You got me there

Even posted in the vile thread, it was still worthy. 

Being gay does not excuse the violation of posting in the forbidden thread.

Well, usually it happens when a man discovers that he likes dicks, and assholes.

Petros has been hanging out on CYS awhile, so this checks out.

Technically I agreed to NOT participate

irrelevant

 

I feel compelled to post in both threads out of spite

Ah, but you are a true Jedi and a wielder of sacred power.  As such you are not subject to the decrees of mere mortals.

It's just 33 years, guys. I can't think of an easier challenge. And yet I'm seeing so much failure to do such a simple thing.

Understandable.

A new week. Stay the course, people.

1731 to go! Easy.

Just a reminder of the absolutely vile shenanigans that went on in the Morgan threads. From the beginning this was nothing but a scam created by and for the notoriously slothful Wardens, and what's worse is they duped my fellow Sage Thara into enabling them.

Fucking wardens. Never could fight fair and square. As soon as we get the "uncommend a post" feature working, they'll get what's coming to them.

IronPanther sitting comfortably at #9 hasn't logged in in four years, and got most of his comms from a contest game he immediately took down.
