Mega-Hi!

8 years ago

Hey everyone, I've been lurkin' on this here site for a while now, and I've finally decided to make an account!

Just so you guys and ghouls could get to know me, I live in Pennsylvainia, I enjoy most anime, spooky and dark literature, all sorts of dark comedy, old games like Earthbound and Mega Man, animals (especially domesticated ones, as I hope to open a pet clinic one day.), and pretty much anything sci-fiction. I'll be workin' on a wonderful story game pretty dang soon, but for now, I'd love to get to know everybody! Also, any paticular unspoken rules around here?

Mega-Hi!

Nice to meet you.

I'm also something of an anime fan and I love retro gaming and dark humor. I wouldn't call them unspoken, per say, but here are a few things to avoid: Don't spam the forums. Don't write Warrior Cats fanfictions here--due to the actions of the fanbase in recent months, their works were banned. Don't flame other users, we try to keep things civil here; if they've done something worth flaming about, just report them instead. Don't post NSFW photos (I.E.: porn) please, or anything else terribly graphic. No free-form RPs on this site, though there is a sister-site of sorts specifically meant for that. Please don't plagiarize... please don't necro any particularly old threads, no one likes getting an alert about a topic that they posted on at 3am 6 years ago, lol. And if you're going to post a story, we actually do have a list of standards for them--but as long as you're not trolling and you're actually trying, you should be fine.

That's all I can think of. Now, onto the DOs of this place: The Help and Info section is awesome, has lots of articles and information, so if you haven't checked it out, you really should. Duels are fun, we have a lot of really great stories you should check out that are featured (it'd give you some idea of what's popular here, plus, since you love dark humor, you'd probably enjoy Endmaster's games and my horror game) and if you need help, don't hesitate to ask. The community here tends to be very helpful. People will gladly beta-read for you, give you scripting advice, and even help you brain-storm if you get a bit stuck on what to write.

Also, I'm currently hosting a writing exercise course during week days to help people sharpen their skills and there's a thread where we as a community provide feedback on the exercise entries, so if you'd like to get our opinions on your writing or practice before you publish, that's a great place for it. A lot of very talented people are participating right now.

Anyway, I hope you have fun here. ^^ Good luck with your game.

Unspoken Rules

8 years ago

There are a shit ton of unspoken rules on this website, but here are the most world-endingly important ones. Take it from me, as the owner of a shiny, glowing post count trophy, I am the expert at forum-ing, and I have obeyed these rules passionately since the very beginning.

1. If you turn down a challenge for a rap battle, the challenger owns you and all your things.

2. Never kill a monkey with your bare hands. They are innocent creatures who deserve more painless deaths, if any death at all.

3. If the monkey has rabies, kill it with anything at your disposal, but it might bite your bare hands, if you're using them...

4. New members will be viciously hazed in a ritual involving thirty dead crows, an axe for everyone, and the drunken wrath of the Sombrero committee.

5. The official dick measuring equation for this website is: (([number of user's exp points] * 2) + ([user's post count]^[the amount of published stories user has])) * [how many trophies user has] = MINE IS BIGGER THAN YOURS!

6. Conflicts are best solved by cheery song and dance numbers.

7. Don't be a twatbiting assborn fuckface.

8. AC/DC is better than anime vocaloid robots in all possible cases.

9. Beethoven is better than Justin Bieber in all possible cases.

10. Sporks are better than all other things in all possible (or impossible) cases.

11. To believe otherwise is to be a twatbiting assborn fuckface.

12. If you can drink an entire gallon of milk in one sitting, the person nearest to you is obliged to provide you with a lifetime supply of graham crackers.

13. Anyone who leaves for more than a month at a time is presumed dead.

14. If you are asked to stop swearing, you must swear twice as often, unless that person is obviously over 15 and there are serious reasons to stop.

15. If Adolf Hitler offers you cunnilingus, don't.

16. I am THE ONLY real SentinelPenguin. There are many imposters, but you mustn't trust them.

17. Stabbing randomly is not a socially acceptable practice.

18. Stabbing people for revenge is mildly acceptable, but will be entirely condoned, whether vengeance was a motive or not, if the stab-ee is incredibly racist.

19. Do not throw pumpkins at walls. Someone has to clean that shit up, and it's a horrible chore.

20. Everything that Ford says is a lie and/or completely wrong, unless he says something I agree with in order to fuck with me.

21. ISentinelPenguinI only speaks the truth, unless it's in a game of Mafia.

22. Public floggings are perfectly acceptable, as long as it's consensual and not in the way of traffic.

23. Everyone is allowed one free pass per week to suckerpunch the living shit out of Spartacusthegreat. Extra points for surprise and spontanaeity.

24. December 24th is Hawaiian Shirt Day. No exceptions.

25. The official winter Holiday in Cystia is Chanukwanzmas.

26. In order to join the local Mafia, you must have familial ties to one or more of its home countries.

27. If you are violated by tentacle monsters, you must report it at the first available opportunity, otherwise everyone else is going to think you enjoyed it.

28. Never challenge a berar to a cage match in the local tavern. You're only allowed to punch kangaroos for money.

29. If it ain't broke, don't break it.

30. If it ain't broke and you break it, the owner of the broken thing in question can and will sue you.

31. Throwing bricks through windows is a valid letter delivery technique, unless the letter is filled with hurtful words.

32. It is both illegal and immoral to fuck like a koala

No, the equation is entirely irrelevant. No matter what numbers you plug into it, the answer is always "MINE IS BIGGER THAN YOURS!"

33. The secret recipe for Dr. Pepper is- HNNNNGGGH....

34. There is porn of literally everything, but you're only allowed to post it here if it is tasteful, artistic, understated, and absolutely positively crucial to the plot.

35. Never go full DeviantArt.

36. ALWAYS USE THREADED VIEW! ALWAYS!

37. No shooting. Violators will be trespassed.

38. Thou shalt not fuck animals.

39. Obey

40. If you came to chew bubblegum and kick ass, then too bad. We're all out of ass.

41. Never use a font size higher than 36. The other fonts are there as a mere formality.

42. If an old Chinese hobo offers to teach you drunken boxing, be prepared to have your ass kicked for ten years before you can actually learn any reasonable kung fu.

I assume that the list goes on..? Anyway, I solemnly swear to Ah-Puch, Gilgamesh, and the Valkyries that I shan't ever disobey thine rules.

ADDENDUM!

8 years ago

Well, the list probably goes on, but only up to 42 unspoken rules can be spoken by one person at any one time. (not counting the rule you can only speak up to 42 unspoken rules, and the rule that says you can explain the 42 rule rule.) It's just not prudent to go about violating the holy number like that, y'know?

Now, get your axe and sombrero. We have crow-rituals to do!

Oh yeah, a cool secret about the site is that the "Delete story" button is actually a hidden link to a secret story game made by all the founders of the site.

1 - True

Rule 43 clearly clarifies the meaning of rule 39: that all these rules are completely true, and to state that any are false is the highest violation of rule 7.

Ford's the only one insulting you, mane. His heretical addendums to the unalterable pre-spoken rules are in clear violation of rules 7, 43, and 39.
