So our CYStia Outpost on TVtropes hasn't really been properly seen to ever since James went off his meds and fucked off somewhere.

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Website/ChooseYourStory

Probably could do with some much needed maintenance, like say removing links to stories that are no longer available (Yes, I'm talking about Kiel's story) or adding stories with a few tropes listed with them.

Since I don't expect any of you slothful fuckers to do this for free, you'll get points for your patriotism. The more you do, the more points you get obviously.

Of course, you'll have to prove that it was you who did all these changes somehow. I know I can look in the page change history and check the names of the people who have edited, so I'd advise using a similar handle on tvtropes. Though I'm fairly lazy myself, so anything that gives me do less work is even better.

TVTropes is all well and good but I feel like CYS needs an Encyclopedia Dramatica entry at this point.

Is that place still around? Last time I checked it was years ago and I stopped because every time you click anywhere, you get a bunch of fucking porn spam pop ups.

Even had virus protection and pop up blockers on and navigating site was still all fucked up and not in the good way.

Oh I have no idea but I imagine there are other places based on the same idea.

Maybe somebody skilled in such matters can record some of our site history and drama in trope form.

Ya boi Chris got that shit on lock.

Got rid of the passage on GOLAD and deleted the link to its tropes page. Was going to edit the page of the actual story to clarify you can't play it on this site anymore but for some reason the page is edit locked.

Edit: Oh well, edited The Other World's page to clarify you can't read either story on here anymore.

Edit 2: Also moved the YMMV entry that was on the main page to a proper YMMV page. Look guys, it's almost like I know what I'm doing!

Edit 3: Re-added The Make-Believe Sandbox's tropes to the main page and made it sound far less emotional. Cold and detached writing style ftw. Also, let it be noted this is my first time editing a TV Tropes page and it's... Really fun.

Cool, glad someone's actually taking this on, I kind of figured the thread would just rot here.

'While the site is primarily used for the creation of said story-games, it also has its own forums, where a bunch of nerds gather to discuss everyday, stupid stuff, or role-play. '

How bout no.

Also, you ought to add a link to Rogues...maybe in place of OotMS since it's not featured anymore? Also it may be time to swap out Snow for Through Time. And add a link to one of Will's outlaw games maybe? I know you can't include everything but that list just seems a bit outdated. Another section with links to popular authors may cost more ground.

I'd still like to see someone tackle some kind of site history, at least of the last four years or so to cover the WC war and Endmaster's rise to power and all this Kiel shit, but it would have to be someone who knows their tropes so I'm out.

I'll try and squeeze in links to Rogues and Through Time, and of course I edited out the reference to the defunct forum games. Will probably add a link to one of Will's games too. Definitely won't be able to tackle the site history though, considering I only know a little about it.

Replaced Snow with Through Time, added some stuff to the segment on Price of Freedom about how Briar abandoned us and is gonna make money off it through COG. Gonna get around to replacing OoTMS with Rogues, adding one of Will's outlaw games, and making folders of tropes for all three games as well as adding tropes to the folders that are already there. I'd appreciate it if people who've actually read Through Time and Will's outlaw stories to add tropes for those two, lol. If not, I'll just soldier on and read those two stories myself to add the tropes.

Just noticed that Eternal and Necromancer/Death Song both have their own pages not linked from the main one.

@Chris113022

They are though, lol. There's a section right before the tropes section of the page for games that have their own pages. After I kicked GOLAD from the list those two were the only ones left.

I swear I double checked this. My head canon is going to be that you're lying.

Old lady no remember good.
