With the new pinning feature, there's no need to make any new Pit of SHAME threads. (Other than this one) This one can just be edited as needed!

Also not bothering with posting the fucktards that got themselves banned anymore since they already lost their chance at redemption. We do have the new "Triple SHAMED" category which does ban the slugs from most official contests. Redemption may still be possible, but highly unlikely.

Anyway here's the current list of losers who failed the basic task of submitting a contest story after they promised to work on one.

TRIPLE SHAMED

And remember if you're on this list, you're still fucking terrible.

@bilbo @Orange

You guys really, REALLY couldn't have crapped out something on par with Engineered Desires? You really let the brony take a victory canter around the ring with THAT while you were content to put your accounts at risk doing nothing?

@AmusedSquid And YOU. How many times did you reassure me it was coming along and would be done? And your intro page alone was miles better than most of what we wound up with.

For real, what the hell happened with this contest? Only Chef and Peng have real excuses. Heck, Derp even lost his story at one point and had to rewrite it.

Turnout was so pathetic all around that I'm tempted this time only to offer an easy way out, but I'd have to see at least some token groveling from the condemned first as evidence you care. None of you have even acknowledged your failure yet and yet I know you were aware of that deadline flying overhead.

Very shameful, very sad

Ah, the pit. It doesn't smell good down here. Everyone said not to wear slippers while standing near the edge, but I was so curious why there were all those caution signs and, well, I can't change the past. More importantly, I read you're offering a way out, and I'm interested.

One expects the noise would be horrendous here, but all the ghouls and starving noobs appear to be sleeping. How long have they been that way? I can't seem to wake them at all. In fact, I think I'm the only one awake in the entire pit. There's a really crude dumbwaiter here, covered in such a mire of dirt that I scarcely recognized it. I hope the offering I found in there was recent, but in all likelihood, it's as old as the corpses at the very bottom of the pit. At least the pages looked neat.

In any case, I'm afraid this pen will run dry. Please, if you get this letter, respond! I'll also need a new pen and some paper.

Silence, I have more than enough of.

DOUBLE SHAMED 

mizal

It's our generation's War and Peace. 

Shame.

In three days the Pit will feast.

I sure hope so.

Well, it’s sure comfy down here, I see someone’s built a fort out of the dead bodies.

I’ll get out …in a bit, I guess. For now, there’s a one way ticket down a level too.(Not too keen on that choice, though)

@Cerracrossing
@corgi213
@curion
@lopz66
@Sherbet
@tmanaking
@Ford
@pugpup1

Those of you newly arrived in the PIT (for being terrible) might want to think upon the incredible reputation repairing affect that ratings and comments can have.


@Ford however will be docked points the next time he makes a monkey noise.

DOUBLE SHAMED 

mizal

You really came to the forum for the first time in two months to just post the same thing again.

His mom sure does though.

Yes :chad: 

NO

It's too bad that Sherbert guy got shamed, I wish him the best of luck with getting out of the pit.

Damn, I feel bad for him.

So uh, who is he?

*she

Shame

Shame. Even a four hour story could get anyone here out.

And this recent contest had the worst turn out in a long time.

Out of the 17 participants:

7 got SHAMED

3 got DOUBLE SHAMED, including Ebon who once again came out swinging at everyone and trashing talking only to get winded and pass out like a faggot long before the contest was even over.

And TheChef managed to get himself BANNED from all future contests with a TRIPLE SHAME!

At least I'm not these OTHER people, they sound awful. Shame shame.

Imagine not turning in literally anything for a contest. What a tool you'd have to be.

I'm terrible. :(

This thread is so much funnier now.

Wish I could remember where it was that Ebon was claiming he was going to usurp all the big writers of the last couple years and be the next Endmaster.

@EbonVasilis What thread did you say that in again? How's that coming along so far?

Of all threads he could have said that in, he chose a pinned one.

Ah there we go, thanks Mystic.

The ultimate goals is to be in the top 5 story games on the site. That, of course, means eventually competing with End and his story games. That likely won't happen for a couple of years, but on the way there are people like you, Mizal, and a few other lauded members. This contest is a good way to start down that road.

Well for one thing, where did he get the idea that I write? Shows how much he's paying attention right there.

Besides that, Ebon has fallen from middling heights and managed to become the poster child for talk with no action. And, dare I say it? He has indeed proven himself an empty blowhard and cringy self important faggot. The glory days of snapping screenshots in MinnieKing's server are long behind him.

Not that surprise comebacks are impossible for anyone, in fact I love that particular character arc. Maybe he really will pull off a turn to relevance someday. But all the best and most productive writers on the site got where they are by just...writing. Not standing around in the shadows of their own poorly constructed towers of shit talk until it all comes tumbling down. Build up to something to back it up with first.

We should be getting to those writing duels as well, given that it's January, but how can we if Ebon hasn't showed his face?

*sigh*

It's all good though, I got my bot privileges returned. To combat my procrastination, I resolve to output something by the end of 2022 as my new year's resolution.

Well thanks to Mizal's baffling sense of mercy, Ace has FINALLY crawled his way out of the lowest level of SHAME where he was rightfully being chained.

Congrats, you've unleashed an abomination topside.

However, a price must ALWAYS be paid for such deeds so Mazdark has taken his place, thus restoring some semblance of balance to the cosmos. (But not really)

Actually I told Ace he could enter the contest, but he wouldn't be unSHAMED unless he won.

Oh cool, back in the pit he goes then.

Man, hope for a second :(

Hey on the bright side, if you keep entering contests you're bound to win one eventually. Every so often we get a flop like the cyberpunk or culture clash contests where victory is just there for anyone who steps up to take it.

(This little peptalk being delivered by megaphone or something with me actually having no idea if Ace survived being Sparta kicked back down the hole, it's so dark in there.)

If my contest ban has been lifted that's victory enough for me. They're always a lot of fun.

Though winning would be good... I know you people of the living don't have any accounts of down here and it might be better off that way.

quick question just in case I ever end up on this list. If you are triple-shamed and as a miracle end up allowed to enter a contest and finish a game, does that bring you out of the pit or to second level?

Ace was supposed to win the contest to even get out of his lowly state.

So he's still in there until someone else bafflingly allows the mercy of letting him participate in another contest for another chance to escape. (And that won't ever be me)

so you have to win the contest. Got it.

It's really easy to avoid triple shame though.

Yup, just panic-write enough words on the last 2-3 days of the contest if all else fails, and as long as there's some branching, plot and proofreading, then you're usually out of the pit and free to fail contests two more times before having to worry again.
