Hello, all!!! I'm new to this site! My name is Micah (Or Skip, Skippity, Skippingstonnes, anything really!), I go by he/him. I probably won't be making stories on here because I'm not too skilled. My friend (Also a newbie) sent me the link to this via email. I promise and really hope not be a pain like some other newbies! Thank you for reading!!! :)

Also, this may sound dumb, but if someone could explain to me how to change my profile picture, it would be greatly appreciated! I'm too nervous to mess up lol. Thank you sososo much!

(I hope I'm posting this in the right area)

Another one brought here via email, huh. Anyways, welcome, Skip, I hope you enjoy your stay here!

And for changing your pfp, you'll need to upload an image to your pictures (My Stuff > Pictures > Upload New Picture), then select it as your pfp in your profile (My Stuff > Profile)

     Hi! Welcome to the site, and I hope you have a good time. To change your profile picture, go to your profile, click on the dropdown under Avatar Photo, and select what image you want. If you don't already have the image, go to pictures and upload it.

     Tell me if you need more specific details. Or someone else. Hope you have a great day. :D

      Not really, it's just some quick posts while you've got a short pocket of time. I think CYS also always says I'm online when I'm in school because I keep the tab open.

Hello! :3

That's fair; I also keep mine open almost 24/7.

Hello! :3

It's almost like all of you shuld be either working on a storygame or reading some and leaving reviews. Or maybe even schoolwork or something similar.

Hello! :3

one month ago

Yeah, I don't have much schoolwork to do sometimes, so I just hang out on here

I do have a game idea that I need to redo because of a timeline change, though, lol. Although I guess I don't have much of an excuse not review some games.

Hello! :3

I am doing schoolwork, I just have the tab open and check on it sometimes. Well, decently often.

Welcome to the site, Micah!

If you like to read stories, we're actually doing a small little short story contest right now!

Here's the link: https://chooseyourstory.com/forums/creative-corner/message/30898

If you're interested, read stories A,B, and C, and then vote on which one you like best!

It looks like you figured out how to change your profile picture, good job! All that's left is for you to check out some stories, and start writing your own. Best of luck!

Here are a few recs for storygames that I hope you'll enjoy:

If you're looking for something short and quick:

1. Why Pinball Wizard of all my stories.

2. Why didn't you say, "by MHD."

3. Why does Pinball Wizard have one of the highest ratings of all my stories.

MDH, this is a thread. if you dont want people replying to you besides one, just say that in the comment

Hello! :3

She was asking RK questions and you replied to her instead with "lol idk". Flicking you away like a booger for jumping in for no explainable reason and bumping the thread to add literally nothing to anything being said is a perfectly valid response, but there are others you guys who just can't stop posting like this are going to like less.

Hello! :3

and i understand that, but even if you are talking to one singular person, someone else is bound to jump in and interrupt if you dont specify you dont want anyone besides [user abc] replying to you.

Hello! :3

It isn't you, it's probably people who have nothing of value to say.

Hello! :3

also, one question: why do some people have blu while others have red for their name?

Hello! :3

one month ago

I'm pretty sure that a red username means that their order/team got the most commendations yesterday

Hello! :3

one month ago

Yeah. If all (or just more than one) order is red, it was a tie.

Hello! :3

okay thats weird

Hello! :3

No, not really.

Hello! :3

to me it kinda is because im red every day and i do nothing to get that.

Hello! :3

Well you're a marauder, and it's not like you're unfairly getting a prize or something. Of Avon is more like a prize, and you have to as an individual get the comms for that.

     Naz, if you want to survive this community you need to have thick skin. And a side note, Thara is a mod.

EDIT: told her she was a mod too late...

I didn't even have to do anything.

Get banned, fugly. 

Also, your fat overweight mom can fuck me anytime.

I'm sure this is all very hard and difficult for you, Naz. But I have a solution! You can tag Endmaster three times just like this:

@Liminal
@Liminal
@Liminal

Only replace the Liminal with Endmaster, and you'll be permanently un-banned. You may even get 1000 free points since your account is on its first week of activation.

this feels oddly shady but hearing it from someone like you makes me think it's legit.

Hello! :3

Your dead parents are looking up from Hell and even they're ashamed of the retarded faggot you've become.

Hello! :3

I was growing fond of Naz, can we ban the death note kid instead?

Naz, stop making accounts and go give one of Thara's games an 8/8 and a glowing 300 word review about how it changed your life for the better, and review one of MHD's games as well. I'm sure we can come to an arrangement that's agreeable to everyone here.

Hello! :3

one month ago

Eh, I say we give Naz some time to cool off and learn from his mistakes by still banning all his accounts for at least a month, maybe even a year. He could have tried to calmly talk it through with the mods, but he decided to explode at them instead.

But please do ban the death note kid.

Hello! :3

one month ago
Yeah, I hadn't seen the big tantrum when I posted that, whoops.

All these kids just need to come back later when they're mature enough to stop embarrassing themselves that way.

Hello! :3

one month ago

I myself am a kid (technically teen but you get the point), and even I can see that they are going about it all wrong. It makes me wonder just how young some of them are.

Hello! :3

I'm embarrassing myself?

Hello! :3

one month ago
No, you're fine. You, UD, bhp, and Liminal, and (anyone else I may have forgotten to include here but you guys know who you are) are exempt from the category of "kids who are embarrassing themselves on the forum".

Hello! :3

one month ago
At least until you embarrass yourself really, really good.

Hello! :3

one month ago
Another teen here. Yeah. No. At some point, there needs to be an 'emotional maturity test' before people are allowed to make an account.

Or we can just keep laughing at kids like these.

But on the other hand they do keep doxxing themselves- which can be dangerous.

^^ I've seen multiple forum messages be edited because they keep dropping personal information. I really do wonder if schools are still teaching internet safety to the younger generation. 

Hello! :3

Schools help them create an email address with their full first and last name and district name, and then never even warn them to be careful where they share it.

I remember playing a game that taught us the basics, but it's been years. EDIT: Found it very quickly. Interland, it's pretty fun.

Hello! :3

Oh yeah, I remember playing that. Schools should probably make it a mandatory game or something.

Hello! :3

I love interland!!! :D

EDIT: to Mizal's post, really? In my school our emails have all that except the first name, we only have the first letter of that.

  1. Sorry for your loss if that's true
  2. I don't fully believe you since it's easy to lie about those things
  3. You should probably know by now that mods are trigger-happy here when it comes to banning rude people

1. I wanted to recommend the best short storygames on the site, since I've had experiences where I've recommended longer stories to noobs, and it may be a tossup on whether they check them all out. I don't want to intimidate them, and I guess without knowing their age/how much they're willing to read, I was staying on the safe side.

Plus, these stories kind of give a small taste of your guys' writing style. I'm sure they'll like these, so once they come back, I'll point them to Agent of Order, Sherb's interconnected horror stories, and Polaris, Mission Sunshine, and Eros, since I think they're very fun and awesome!

2. I forgot lol. Just fixed it. I wrote down the full title for the first 3 games, but "The life and death of the pinball wizard" was pretty long to write, and for some reason, I didn't think to copy paste. So I just typed out "Pinball wizard", and then sent the post.

3. I don't know. But it is wicked fun and offers hours of joy(if you can play that long and not die)!

Wow, we're really having an influx of new members lately :) Welcome to the site Skippity, the fact you can write readable sentences already puts you in the upper percentile of the recently-joined newbies. RK makes some great suggestions for stories to start you off, I also recommend the Help and Info section if there's anything you want to check up on (you can also ask here in the thread where someone will be happy to help). Enjoy your time here :D
