Another minimalist effort. I really hate being the super-douche that does this, but if a story has 0 plot, 0 character traits, and the story deserves the rating of a 0, we kinda need to get the story off the site. I wish I could talk to the author and give him/her some advice. I would hate for someone to want my story unpublished, but then again, I wouldn't release a story that didn't have all the elements a good story needs. So yeah, this is another request to get something unpublished. (If you're wondering how I'm noticing these, I'm trying to play and rate every single game here, so I have better feel for the community).

No, it's still in.

I've been helping the author of Zombie''s Day as much as I can with his current games. He agrees that Zombie''s Day wasn't good, so he'd probably not have a problem with you saying that.

I do have flaws in it, but I was sick of not having hints at the time. I was new and not as experienced as I'm now. I am redoing my first game along with a new one. I admit not to going all the way in it, but I felt happy for doing something to help the sight. Sinner66, I respect you for many reasons and don't agree with what you on having to remove my story from the site. If you feel strongly about this, then consult this with JJJ. I don't have a reason to say it should go, but its not OUR choice. It belongs to our JJJ.

But if we don't have anything to say about it, then that's...well...bad. You were still learning to write a story, that's understandable.

I know everyone has a say, but somethings are better to tell the author and try to help out.

I know as a community we decide, but you could've told me about it first.

Deadly-Sinner, what he means is that he would have liked you to PM him first.

It's not the best story out there, definately, but I've played worse. I don't think we should delete a story for being bad, it is part of a learning process. Unpublishing would be a great idea while he fixes it up, but not deletion.

I neglected to vote but I agree with JJJ he should pull it down himself.

My bad, misread DS's original post.

I think Killer should unpublish it, create the same story in the advanced editor (with the correct title, not Zombie"s Day, but Zombie's Day) and rewrite it. Once he publishes the new story, he can delete the original if he wants.

if you dont like his story than dont read it. we cant make him change it. if he wants to than he will. if its realy bad unpublish it, but its not that bad. i feel it has hold of the lowest rung of the latter.

Actually, we can ;). I do believe that being a bad game shouldn't be grounds for punishment, but it is a democratic site...

I'd love to do it over as advanced editor, but I'm busy working on two others and I want to publish those first. And the name Zombie"s Day was a mistake. It was supposed to be Zombie's Day. Anyone want me to make it my second advanced just post the YES here and it'll be done.

Yes. That's basically what we're all suggesting.

yes

if thats what you want to do, then do it.

Okay. Its done.
