Come one, come all - this Sunday at 3pm EST in Discord. I will be hosting a drawing/entertainment cabaret!

This cabaret will include live drawing of up to two $25.00 commissions - if you are interested sign up for a comm slot in reply to this post. Also you can send me $5.00 during the stream for a live small drawing of your choice on the spot!

You all chose Sunday afternoon for me to get drunk but alright, I'll be drinking too. I beckon you to join me! BYOB!

I also am looking for intermission entertainment. Whether that might be a live short story reading, a song or performance, or even a mildly humorous Sent Rant (a Sant?) Let me know!

See you there!

Sure if you'll have me I'd love to join.

When you say entertainment, do you mean you telling the stories or audience participation? Cause a reading of some of EndMaster's short stories would be funny. 

And yeah I got beer.

Yes, a dramatic reading would be great!

Oh phew, was wondering where this post went.

I LOVE HATTER'S CABARET!

I had it ages ago but lost it. Now it's a well kept secret.

I will be setting up VC access from the long disused noob cage, just for Hatter. Though it pains me to think of the amount of cleanup this will require afterwards. Every inch needing to be fumigated and disinfected.

This is the issue with democracy. Alright, send the details before the stream! Thank you!

It's kind of an invite only place for the chosen. No idea what you actually need to do to get in though.

contribute and be likable

Well, it's kind of closed off a bit more than that by now. It's been around 6 years and at this point is a carefully balanced ecosystem of core members, along with some past ones who don't use the site so much but still like to keep up.

And in this environment personal info has been shared (IRL stuff about work or pictures of people's kids and such) so it's made me kind of reluctant to bring in new people, and some of them we thought were cool turned out not to be a good fit. (And then of course it's a pain in the ass to remove them without hurt feelings or leaving the site altogether.)

To tell the truth there's just too many autists in this community who don't know how to act. But also, it's nice to keep the forum alive and not distract the rest of you from wholesome productivity with Discord's brainrot.

Yeah and doubly so considering how drama-prone open discords tend to be. Can't remember when was the last time I've seen a server where some shit didn't go down for usually the dumbest of reasons.

We did have it completely open for awhile, but not even counting people here, we started getting folks from other IF/writing communities joining only to get offended and go run and tell everyone how horrible we all were. It's like you could've just looked at the forums and saved a trip.

There were a few folks that tried to troll, but that never really worked out for them.

Finally we started getting weird folks just wandering in from wherever. Which pretty much resulted in kicking out the degenerates and the open doors experiment was shut down.

Probably the most entertaining of that lot was some nurse that wandered in bragging about being into erotic roleplay and was generally a dumb whore. She'd sometimes go on about how we weren't "hardcore" enough. It's like "Ma'am this is not that sort of writing community. You took a wrong turn somewhere."

Might have kept her around for lols a little longer, but she fucked up someone's Minecraft server so she got kicked for that.

Ah, I see. It has been like two years since I was on there, and when I was it wasn't very exclusive. 

I would like to sign up for a $25 comm slot.

Is Paypal ok?

Yay! Yes Paypal is preferred! Send me the deets before the stream! Thank you Tim!

No problem, MHD. I'll give you the details in the next day or two.

I'm pre-gaming right now to ensure I'm ready by Sunday

Shit I gotta catch up

The event sounds really fun! I'd love to attend just to watch the livestream, hopefully me and other people not in the discord can join, maybe from that noob cage Mizal was talking about. Would that be ok? I'm assuming the noob cage is a kind of restricted channel, so we could still check out the livestream without formally being in the discord.

I would love a 5 dollar doodle! Yahoo!

What's the timezone on that 3pm so that those of us living on the better side of the pond can make sure they make it?

The post says it's EST. Looks like it's a very early morning for me, then. 

Oh yeah didn't notice. That means 9pm for me which thankfully works since I have monday off.

Anyone who intends to show up make sure to post in this thread. Your ticket will arrive in the mail.

I'll make sure to remove a server so that I can join.

How many are you on?

Never heard of an actual limit.

100 which is the limit unless you have full Nitro which ups that to 200. I'm not active in any of them except for maybe 5, but some of those I keep for updates on games or other stuff.

I wish I could, but I neither have money, alcohol, or availability in the chosen time. :(

I do. I'm bringing beer lol

I would like to see how the magic is made so please send me a ticket to my vacation home just north of the Pit of SHAME.
