Credit for my new profile picture goes to the incredible and amazing Fresh! Message her for a commission, you won't regret it!
My goals I set in 2014 were finally met after a decade of hard work and mountains of bullshit. I got a trophy (several now), a commendation (several now) from my favorite author, and a story game rated at least a six (in my defense, I never said it had to stay that way).
My new goals?
-Win my own personal trophy
-Win a contest
-Read and rate 100% of the story games here (preferably before a couple of people I immensely dislike manage to do so)
"Ben's life as far as I can tell has been one of turmoil and strife. He's been mocked, embarrassed by his baby mama who then eventually left him for a tranny. And he had some other issues after that.
But it's all been leading up to this moment. I myself shall usher him into the Gates of CYStia where he shall be Eternal. Awaited and Blessed." -EndMaster
"It's probably the most depraved thing I've read. And no, that's not a compliment." -Mystic, reviewing my story 'Terrorist'
"Don't forget the lighter! ^_^" -Avery_Moore
"Ben gonna Ben" -EndMaster
"You are a disgrace upon civilization and what it means to be human" -TCat
"Shh" -Fresh
"Ben, respectfully, you are an idiot." -Petros

Storygames
In this story inspired by Watership Down, you play as Hops, a average, run-of-the-mill rabbit forced to flee with the other furry woodland creatures as the Titans destroy your home.
Entry for Sherbet's Summer's End Synergy Contest.
A short horror story where you're hazed on Halloween night. While others are trick-or-treating, you're involved in a fight for your life.
Entry for EndMaster's 2024 prompt contest.
Story prompt: A game revolving around carrying out a terrorist attack. There's actually several within this game, the method and motivations varying depending on your playthrough.
Warning: this story, while not explicit in accordance with site rules, does have sections involving murder, SA, incest, bestiality, racial undertones, and societal class discrimination. Essentially you're playing as a sick fuck who's also rich. Also keep in mind that while your protagonist can complete their objectives depending on how you play, there is no 'happy ending,' per se.
When the LGBQT Pride Club gets banned in a small conservative town, you and your fellow Alphabet warriors fall into depression. Will you rise above the ignorant customs of a bunch of backwards Bible-thumpers, or do society a favor and just fucking kill yourselves?
Entry for EndMaster’s 2025 prompt contest: A story involving an underground society. Also the latest edition of the Gay and Depressed series.
Please enjoy the previous, legitimate entries in this iconic series:
Gay and Depressed by queenlatifa04: the original piece of steaming word poop that set itself as the benchmark for a bad story, yet inexplicably established one of CYStia's most iconic series.
Gay and DepressedER!!! by fresh_out_the_oven: Took second place in EndMaster's 2023 prompt contest, defeating a pathetic move orchestrated by another contest entrant to steal her story idea. Also comes with art!
Gay and Depressed in Prison by RKrallonor: Placing third in corgi's Rebellion contest, the story and author were so influential that the contest was later rechristened "The Gaybellion." A valuable addition from a rising star.

Also, did my Santa's Ninja Helper stunt inspire this? I hope so!

Given the spelling and the fact that 13-14 is usually around the time puberty kicks in, I'm gonna assume it's a student. Most school districts aren't gonna think to block a writing site.
Not gonna lie though, somebody should email the school district that IP address belongs to and inform them of what their students are up to.

So I gotta win for the sake of supremacy?
Oof. I'll try.
A Fateful Gambit on 9/3/2025 10:23:34 PM
True, lol. As End has pointed out, might as well go big or go home.
In addition to the good points you made about the entire problem with people simply betting their accounts and winning. Mizal also made a good point about the likelihood of some noob betting their accounts and then cheating to win (Daiki would actually be a strong example here).
Congratulations on the admin promotion to you and Will!

I can hear this sentence in the voice of Leslie Chow from the Hangover.

I think "A fagful gaymbut" would be a little redundant since both words essentially mean the same thing. "Gaybit" sounds cool.
A Fateful Gambit on 9/3/2025 10:17:07 PM
Surprisingly that last part didn't even occur to me. I figured if my "life" was on the line, it'd motivate me to actually get off my ass and put in consistency.
In hindsight, I can see people cheating, either with stockpiling or with AI (Daiki, Abge). Also, as I told RK above, I didn't really see this being accepted, but I figured I'd shoot my shot.
A Fateful Gambit on 9/3/2025 3:28:33 AM
To be fair, I don't entirely expect them to accept this, and the next contest is a long year away.
Also. If I'm being upfront, I did have to edit the post to add in if I win on an individual basis, since I know good and damn well there's a possibility I'd get permabanned if we do teams and I get the individual prize but my team comes in second.
To be honest, I'm doing this mostly to motivate myself and others. I can think of a few people who would gleefully churn out reviews for the chance to be the one to get me off the site.

For the last two years, I've tended to get lazy during the Summer Reviewing Contest. Therefore, I fully intend to do better next year!
Therefore, I would like to propose a bet for next year's Summer Reading Contest. Keep in mind this bet only applies if (and only if) there is in fact an official Summer Reading Contest, whoever has the authority to accept this bet does so, and I enter it of my own accord (I'm holding out the possibility that I may not enter due to being in a coma, incarcerated, ect).
If I succeed in taking first place INDIVIDUALLY, I get full moderator privileges (with the tacit agreement that I will not grossly abuse them to fuck with people or be a nuisance. Failure to abide by this will result in mod privileges being revoked regardless of the outcome).
If I fail to come in first in the individual rankings (hell, even if I'm a close second)... permanent ban me. This way I can't get around the rules by convincing EndMaster to unban my account after a day or two. (Let's be honest if TIG had somehow won the prompt contest that's exactly what would've happened to everyone who got "banned" as per the bet he took).
REQUEST DENIED.
