It's been an incredible sixteen months of writing discussion, procrastination, wholesomeness, degeneracy, heartfelt feelings, intrigue and adventure, but it's a fresh new year so let's have a fresh new invite thread!
We've managed to keep an average of 50-60 cool people active and involved in the site in there, but nobody needs
that many friends, so this year standards are going to be a little more exacting.
80% of new members failed to follow the complicated rule of 'give us your site name when you join, and demonstrate signs of life once every couple of weeks', so let's add a few more steps to the process to filter out even more of the unworthy!
If you wish to join, you must:
1.) be able to provide proof that you deserve to hang out with us,
scum. Don't even waste my time unless you've written a detailed comment (~300 words) on a storygame in the past month.
2.) Post here in the thread that you've joined. Go ahead and include a link to your most recent review, and any other credentials. (storygames, WIPS threads, short stories or poems...)
3.) STATE YOUR SITE USERNAME UPON ENTERING THE DISCORD. (And yes you MUST have an account. I'd think that went without saying given rules #1 and #2, but...)
You will be kicked if you don't do these things. Better luck next time.
If you've been banned, aren't a massive faggot, and didn't go to every possible length to burn your bridges afterwards, you may submit your application for readmission here after two weeks have passed. This should take the form of a link to a recent review and a short persuasive essay.
I just want to note here that the Discord isn't for everyone, and that's fine. But no one in there should be making it the reason or replacement for their entire interest in CYS, and if that becomes too much of a problem I'll take steps to fix it. AND I will enjoy them...
For real though, I hate seeing people like Ozoni and Wibn who were contributing pretty frequently leave after getting banned from the server, or others who
weren't doing shit for the site turn around and use the Discord as a platform for creating weird drama. Nobody has some kind of natural right to be there, and the less you do on the site, the less comfy you should allow yourself to get.
Anyway, the first test of your worthiness was reading all that. If everything else is in order, you may click:

(Server rules can be found in #byroyaldecree. It's all common sense stuff, but obviously I can't just
rely on you people to have common sense...)
