CYS Discord: Now with flying cars!

4 years ago
It's been an incredible sixteen months of writing discussion, procrastination, wholesomeness, degeneracy, heartfelt feelings, intrigue and adventure, but it's a fresh new year so let's have a fresh new invite thread! We've managed to keep an average of 50-60 cool people active and involved in the site in there, but nobody needs that many friends, so this year standards are going to be a little more exacting. 80% of new members failed to follow the complicated rule of 'give us your site name when you join, and demonstrate signs of life once every couple of weeks', so let's add a few more steps to the process to filter out even more of the unworthy! If you wish to join, you must: 1.) be able to provide proof that you deserve to hang out with us, scum. Don't even waste my time unless you've written a detailed comment (~300 words) on a storygame in the past month. 2.) Post here in the thread that you've joined. Go ahead and include a link to your most recent review, and any other credentials. (storygames, WIPS threads, short stories or poems...) 3.) STATE YOUR SITE USERNAME UPON ENTERING THE DISCORD. (And yes you MUST have an account. I'd think that went without saying given rules #1 and #2, but...) You will be kicked if you don't do these things. Better luck next time. If you've been banned, aren't a massive faggot, and didn't go to every possible length to burn your bridges afterwards, you may submit your application for readmission here after two weeks have passed. This should take the form of a link to a recent review and a short persuasive essay. I just want to note here that the Discord isn't for everyone, and that's fine. But no one in there should be making it the reason or replacement for their entire interest in CYS, and if that becomes too much of a problem I'll take steps to fix it. AND I will enjoy them... For real though, I hate seeing people like Ozoni and Wibn who were contributing pretty frequently leave after getting banned from the server, or others who weren't doing shit for the site turn around and use the Discord as a platform for creating weird drama. Nobody has some kind of natural right to be there, and the less you do on the site, the less comfy you should allow yourself to get. Anyway, the first test of your worthiness was reading all that. If everything else is in order, you may click: https://discord.gg/jzyDE47 (Server rules can be found in #byroyaldecree. It's all common sense stuff, but obviously I can't just rely on you people to have common sense...)

So I was banned for being retarded and lying about my age to seem older. The primary reason for this was because I assumed that the younger members would be made fun of more and that I wouldn't fit in as well if people knew I was 15. Well I forgot that you have to actually make your lie convincing, and didn't change my dob on CYS so Mizal quickly shut me down. My intent was not to deceive for malicious purposes, just to try to fit in more. However, breaking rules is breaking rules and Cricket banned me, understandably.

In the meantime, I've made myself somewhat useful by continuously working on my story, Halo, or Hell, no!, which has had some hiccups in its development. I've resolved to work on it every day once break is done, so I should make some decent progress on it. I have also gotten two featured comments in that time and written several others. Here is the link to one of the stories with a featured comment: http://chooseyourstory.com/story/anaria~3a-the-demon-necromancer

I've also helped Mara with her contest entry a bit, though I ran out of time to do more. I wouldn't say I did much to help her, but I did a little with the time I had. 

Overall, I think I've learned from the experience and become less retarded from it. Mizal helped by letting me know what I did wrong so that I could fix those things and not do them in the future, so I'm very grateful to her. If this appeal is accepted, I'll do my absolute best not to annoy the people of the discord as much as last time.

I really don't understand why people keep thinking they can just ignore the OP.

I mean I know the answer is just that they're dumb and don't read, but it's still pretty weird.

Equally confusing is why certain people seem to get their feelings hurt over not being allowed to just hang out on a server they never use, for a site they never use.

CYS Discord: Now with flying cars!

Gimp, the poor man's photoshop.

Traced the photo of a drawing, since the photo didn't look too good (weak lines, poor lighting, and the blue lines covering it all).

As for why the shoreline and lakes don't look horrible, I took great inspiration from a real map (*cough* copying *cough*). I have, however, since found that I didn't zoom in enough for all the details, and am thus missing a river delta! I'm fine with this though, as it would only have given me more room for errors, aha.

I was also considering flipping the map, but that idea came too late in the creation process, so doing it would've made the map look weird to me. I do think I'd still flip the north to point down though (in regards to the compass rose, which is missing atm).

Used a mosaic filter on the water, since I felt the map was lacking something (the mountains and trees might've helped with this).

I would like to apply for an unban.

I know I kind of left in a fit, and I knew I would regret the next day. And I did. Though I used that as motivation to write. I promised myself I wouldn't try to come back until I had written a storygame that I am proud of. As of now I have finished a storygame that I am proud of, and regardless of it's rating I'm still proud of myself for it.

This discord has become an amazing thing, and I wish to be apart of it again, all I ask for is the chance to do that.

Well I guess I find it a little bit funny now in hindsight, much of the drama was unnecessary but it did lead to adding a second lying, manipulative tranny to our Rogue's Gallery. And that is the true meaning of Christmas. Turns out your instinct there was right all along, but I still find value in handing people a rope and letting them hang themselves, which Shouj has done twice now. Let it always be remembered that one of Shoujo's last acts was asking a 14 year old boy for pics of his bare feet, and then getting defensive and angry enough at the wtf reaction to blow up about it and suicide a day later.

Well technically everyone is supposed to follow the instructions in the OP. We do sometimes make exceptions, but Endmaster takes Theme Enforcement very seriously and obviously one of your natural betters isn't going to sit there and have a slap fight with you over your nickname. All in keeping with the rules:
6.) Anything that would get you banned on CYS will also get you banned here. 7.) Some things that would not get you banned in CYS can also get you banned here.
Although I do have to say, crying about it and comparing us to CoG does make you a faggot. But generally the way to repair things around here is just to do something useful or cool, so it's usually more efficient just to get on with that. I actually still would like to see the thread detailing whatever drama you had over there, Discord access is just going to require the standard entry fee and managing to not make bullying you so fun and desireable to certain individuals.
