Since you mentioned chatting about stories, what's your favourite storygame on the site and why?

Hi

Smart, he's got to stay quiet now at least as long as it takes him to actually read one. Could take years.

Hey Harper,
If you want to get back in the good graces of the site, and join the community, why not write a review of a storygame? A little sincerity goes a long way.

Read a storygame, write down what you liked about it and what you didn't, and then leave a comment.

That way, we know you're here to actually be a part of the community, and not just to troll.

Hi

I think I found my favorite The Price of Freedom: Innocence Lost it has a lot of choices and options it is fun for me

Hi

24 days ago

Good job! Now, we're going to work on creating a detailed review. You'll get points and maybe even a shiny commendation!

First, let's talk about choices and the plot. You mentioned there being lots of choices. What was your favourite choice? Why was this choice so meaningful to the story? Were all of the choices important to the story? Or what was a choice you might have changed or added?

As for the storyline, what ending did you get? Did this tie up the story well for the main character? What were some things about the story's world that you enjoyed?

Hi

24 days ago
I think the pepole and the lore being shown over time the choices length all where really great

Hi

24 days ago

That's a start. Could you expand on your answers? Name a specific person you found interesting in the story. What particular part of lore did you like? Can you remember one choice that you found to be great?

Hi

24 days ago
The person Alexis the lore where it real,s you are slaves you can lie and fighting back and helping

Hi

24 days ago

Now, let's work on using punctuation and proper sentences. Write a paragraph about the story (at least ten sentences) and I shall award you five points! But you have to provide details and specifics about the story.

What specific character traits does Alexis have? Why do you like her as a character because of this? Tell the reader more about being a slave and the choices you make. What effect does lying have? What about fighting back and helping?

Hi

24 days ago
Alexis has the bravery to help us . So we help them the overall lore of us helping and of us being doomed. Is really fun the choices and replaying that is possible from this. And the strength and ways of back ground is great the whole game should be the top

Hi

24 days ago
Could we make it 5 and I wish for a commdeatiojn

Hi

24 days ago

Final offer: you write five paragraphs (each with five sentences) as a review of the storygame. Make sure every word is spelt correctly. Expand on what you have written here by asking yourself questions: why do I like this specific thing?

You have mentioned Alexis' bravery. Think of another character and what role they played in the story. Think of a third character, I'm sure this story has a few of them. And you mentioned replaying the storygame: what different endings did you get? Which one do you like the most? After replaying, do you like the story more? 

Here are two articles to help you: link 1 and link 2.

Do all this and I'll commend your post, as long as it is genuinely good. No loophole exploiting (e.g. repeating sentences) will work. Remember, a commendation is worth 1,000 points!

Hi

24 days ago

     It's only 1,000 points in the donation thread, you only get 3 if you get a commendation. Also, is spelt a real word? I think I know what you mean but I'd think it would be spelled.

Hi

24 days ago

Oh, it's British English. I have an odd habit of switching between US and UK spellings because of the different schools I attended.

@Learned

Your username is a dubious claim at best. You'd best "learn" to recognize when you have the best deal you're going to get, and for your own sake I recommend you learn very quickly just why your 80th account has made it this long-- Because it's anything but the grace and forgiveness you seem to have treated it as. You seem to have alarmingly little idea just how much most of the people who could ban you right now, kind of want to do it, and how much your continued existence here hinges on the rest of us watching with morbid curiousity. Curiousity as to whether you can actually scrape enough brain-like slurry into a tin cup to pour into the smelly dark hole in your head, to do what Mystic has been trying to get you to do since this morning. I hope for your sake that you've been using these past 2 hours wisely. Unless something changes by the time I check tomorrow, I'm gonna do the job myself! Others may even gleefully decide to ban you before I do. You really do not seem to realize just how urgent and precarious your situation is.

Hi

He's not even on, maybe by the time he logs on again the account will be banned.

Hi

What a shame. Maybe he should've done more with his 9 hours of freedom than pity the Wardens.

Hi

I almost want to see how disastrous a Thunderdome duel would look, but there's no way to make that remotely fair or anonymous since there's no one else around that bad at formulating simple thoughts into English.

I will say though, right now he annoys me less than Blister did. So that's something? I guess?

As long as he doesn't get the thread diarrhea again.

Everything else aside though I think he's just way too young to be in the site. Can't really fathom why he was being allowed unsupervised on the internet long enough to make that many accounts to begin with. (It was way more than 80.)

Hi

24 days ago

... does that make me too young?

Hi

24 days ago
Pretty sure he's still in elementary school.

Hi

...WHAT?!?! Holy, although that would explain a lot. In elementary school I had so many filters I constantly had to request my mom to unblock individual sites for school.

Hi

Unanimous vote in the Discord anyway.

Harper, wait until you're 12 or 13 and try again. Right now you're only stacking your legacy with some pretty cringe material you'll later regret. (Just ask Chris.)

And if you start spamming again I may have to contact Mrs. Scott, thanks for providing her info btw.

     ...commendation? Also to get one it needs to be really good. Unless it's favoritism or something else, but I doubt you're getting that considering how the mods think of you. Actually, it's probably going to be harder for you. Probably not sure.

Hi

Also the ones where you earn things and it effects your overall it is super funny and cool I love the game the person should get their own thropy

Hi

Could y’all not. Ban me

Hi

Could you fucking READ

Hi

Yes

Hi

Then maybe you should scroll up and try to comprehend the multiple times you were told to do something and didn't even react, and spent hours posting everywhere else

Hi

I didn’t see it

Hi

You responded directly to it this morning.

Hi

Oh and fuck you

Hi

Fuck you penguin i dont like you bothering me

Hi

Well you're gonna be bothered or banned till something changes. Maybe attempt Mystic's thing

Hi

Oh too bad, I banned him. Avo wrote a good review anyway so my effort wasn't in vain.

After adding my final touches from last night here Price of Freedom: When Being a Kid Gets Seriously Rough
Have you ever read a book where you actually felt your stomach drop because the choices were so intense? That’s what it’s like reading The Price of Freedom: Innocence Lost. I usually like books about wizards or maybe something funny, but this story hits different. It's about a kid, just ten years old, named Lucius, who is suddenly ripped out of his normal life and sold into slavery in ancient Rome. It’s a choose-your-own-adventure, which is why it’s so cool, but also why it’s so stressful.

What got me hooked immediately was how fast his life changes. One minute he's a regular kid, and the next he’s basically property. The game doesn't hold back, and that's a big part of what makes it real. You're not just reading about his life; you're making the impossible decisions he has to face. Like, in the first few parts, Lucius has this little brother, and you have to decide if you share the tiny bit of food you have with him. If you do, you lose strength, but you keep his trust. If you don't, you might survive, but you feel like a terrible person. Seriously, how is a ten-year-old supposed to make that choice?

The characters are another huge thing. They aren't just names on a screen; they feel like people you actually get to know—and some of them are awful. There’s the really mean slave master, but also other slaves who are trying to survive just like Lucius. You have to figure out who you can trust, because in a place where everyone is fighting just to live, not everyone is your friend. I think my favorite part is trying to build up Lucius's stats. If you make choices that are sneaky, your stealth goes up. If you fight back, your strength goes up. It makes you feel like the whole time you're reading, you're also building up his power for the future, which is hopefully escaping.

I think the biggest message of the story is that freedom is something you have to literally fight for, and it has a "price"—which is why the title makes sense. Lucius has to give up his innocence and basically stop being a kid just to survive. It's not a light, easy story, but that’s why it’s so good. It makes you think about what you would do if everything you knew was suddenly taken away. I always end up replaying it to see if I can make better choices and get the perfect ending where everyone is safe.

dude, is this AI? If it is, then cut it out. Just write your own thoughts about the game. On the unlikely chance this is really you(although I'm 97 percent sure it's AI), then good job.

Hi

23 days ago
I swear this is not ai on god

Hi

22 days ago

It's always funny when a kid replies to their AI slop with diction that proves they didn't write it. Well done retard!

Hi

22 days ago
I still can't REALLY believe he's 13. He might be okay in a few years, if he calms down a little.

Really no hesitation banning him on sight now though, we've got to get tougher about the AI abuse, and the actual stories are still accessible anyway if at ANY point he cared to read one.

Hi

23 days ago
It's AI.

"Lucius" is not even a name option for the protagonist.

Hi

23 days ago
lol, I just clicked the first link and you're right. It takes 5 seconds to verify this, and the kid didn't even bother to do a basic check.

It sounds like just the kind of name that could plausibly be a roman gladiator, but it's literally no where on the first page. And the kid still had the audacity to try and pass this off as his own thoughts.

Hi

23 days ago

This has the same sickening quality as when my cousin's phone talks, and sounds nothing like anything you've said up to this moment. You botbrained swine, you fucking disgust me.

@Avery_Moore

Here Briar, I had a minute so I also decided to improve my review of PoF:

Price of Freedom: Innocence Lost is a gritty, emotionally charged coming-of-age story that places the reader in the shoes of a child whose life is violently torn apart. From the very first moment the shackles close around the protagonist’s wrists, the narrative makes it clear that this is not a tale of easy heroism—it’s a story of survival, fractured innocence, and the impossible choices that define a human life under oppression.

The premise is both simple and powerful: a ten-year-old Greek child and their brother are kidnapped and sold into slavery in the Roman Empire. What follows is a branching journey shaped by the reader’s decisions, each one carrying weight, consequence, and moral ambiguity. The story excels at conveying how even tiny choices—a moment of compassion, a careless remark—can ripple outward with devastating force. The tension between self-preservation and loyalty forms the emotional core of the experience, asking the question: What does it cost to stay human when humanity is dangerous?


Totally written by me, a human, in .08 seconds.

Hi

Oh shit, did I just commend an AI generated comment? Fuck, I am an idiot... Is there a way to uncommend a post? How the fuck did I not clock that Lucious wasn't even one of the name options for the male character? I fucking wrote it! >.<

Hi

23 days ago
Oh my god

I mean also, there's like...all the other indicators?

Uh, quick just edit and pretend it was ironic.

Hi

23 days ago

Apparently I am not very well versed when it comes to identifying AI generated text. Other than blatantly obvious mistakes (like the fact that there isn't an option to name the protagonist, nor is there any other character in the game called Lucious. Where the fuck did that name even come from?) I'm not even sure what to look for.

Also, I genuinely didn't realized how advanced generative AI had become that it could even write a review of Price of Freedom. I mean, I knew it was advanced enough to write books and shit, because it has millions of books to steal from in order to generate something new. But for this shit, somebody must have typed in something like, "Write a review of Price of Freedom by Avery Moore" ... And in like a second, the AI Gods found my little story game in this niche little corner of the internet, read the game, read all the comments, and came up with a super detailed description of fucking accurate shit that happens in the game, while for some reason throwing the name "Lucious" into the pot. Seriously, where the fuck did Lucious come from?

Hi

23 days ago

Maybe Lucious is a commonly used character name, so it may have assumed that chances were you had an option for the name to be that.

Hi

23 days ago
No worries Avery. AI is changing so rapidly that it's hard to keep track of. Experts estimate that there may come a time in our near future where AI's output becomes nearly indistinguishable to human work.

Honestly, AI has really gotten out of control in creative fields. It's gotten to the point where, an author would publish a well-researched non fiction book that he/she has spent years working on, and within weeks, amazon would be flooded by these cheap copycat knockoffs that even ape the cover style so that people shopping online, without looking too closely, would simply click on what sort of looks like the cover.

And it's doing this with training data sets that steal from you. Like I don't think you gave it permission to include "Price of Freedom" in its data set, your intellectual property, and yet it still uses it, which is really messed up.

Hi

23 days ago

The actual reviews:

I replayed this 2 the lore finding out of you being a slave helping others fighting back against the father the game is epic — Learned on 11/16/2025

I really liked the choices and everything theT you can’t do in this best game I’ve seen — Learned on 11/16/2025

Or I should say, "reviews".

Hi

23 days ago
There's no way he read past the first section lol

Hi

23 days ago

In my defense, I saw a separate username and did not clock that it was just an alt account, and thought it was just some other rando who happened to have read my game and wanted to demonstrate to the first guy what an actual review looks like... It is not a very good defense. :p

Hi

23 days ago

... Also, I could always have just taken the time to... You know... Read the post directly below it before throwing commendations around like confetti. :p

Hi

23 days ago

     I'm confused by the first one, is he saying that he's helping the slaves fight the dad or that the fighting dad part is serparate or...? Also, fighting out of you makes no sense and I had to read it a few times for it to make sense. Er, for me to understand.

Hi

Awwww Harper learned a new word to use in every shitpost! Stop spamming and using AI, faggot.

Also some helpful advice you don't deserve: STOP DOXXING YOURSELF! People on the internet are dangerous, and even if I literally hate your annoying ass shitposts and general stupidity, some people might take it too far.

Hi

Oh, I'm already going to be contacting the teacher he had make the "Learned" account.

Hi

So long as it’s to stop him from continuing his idiotic rampage.

Hi

22 days ago
I don't know if it'll stop him, but I feel like they actually do need to be aware he's doing something as dumb as trying to aggro people and then namedropping into like that in front of any random internet viewer we have no way of identifying or controlling.

Especially when the account he's doing it with seemed to have been made with some teacher's involvement orc at least her info.

Hi

A second vote was called, as per Harper's request.

Just gonna say, there's like 20 hours left in the voting period, but it isn't looking good.

Hi

23 days ago

vote for...?

Hi

23 days ago

It's pretty clear from context clues!

Hi

23 days ago

     If it's for not banning him or banning him I vote for him banned. I have nothing against Harper, but he's too young (if he is in elementary school) and he needs to work on his posts and reviews and just writing and behavior in general. I imagine the image says something about what it's about but I can't see it.

Hi

22 days ago

I would like to second this, for what little it's worth

She may not be able to see the image.

She can read the 7/8 maturity games any time she wants though, keep in mind. Those parental filters are so effective.

Hi

21 days ago

huge blocks of text were gone, I'm sure I'm fine

Hi

20 days ago
If huge chunks of text are missing then you’re not even able to actually read the story or play the game really. I’m sorry but you wrote a multi paragraph review on a story you couldn’t actually read in its entirety? Why? I always appreciate reviews no matter if they’re positive or negative, but getting one from someone missing huge amounts of context to the story and therefore the game mechanics just feels wrong. Maybe only review stories you can read in full in the future?

Hi

20 days ago

Ok it's not THAT bad

Hi

20 days ago
You should give the filters the middle finger and go read a book, made of paper. They can't mess with those.

Hi

20 days ago
Do you guys really want to sacrifice the entertainment value of at least letting him linger for a bit before banning? Or is that attitude basically just bullying a kid? And if so, is that actually morally wrong?

Hi

20 days ago
Oh you should check the Lounge, I talked to his mom and he is gone.

Bullying is a tool, just like a gun, but nobody wanted to deal with the alt spamming again on the level it got to in September, especially over the holidays when we're busy and he'd be home with infinite free time.
