Prompt Contest 5 Progress discussion by Anthraxus on 01/11/2026
Finishing a core storyline early on is a great plan for a contest entry as it guarantees that you at least don't SHAME yourself.

There is an article about a couple different ways to implement health systems ...

You can use variable restrictions on the links on a page based on a variable setting, so those links only show up if a particular mix of character variables are equal to 1. Between that and the $DEST usage Mizal mentioned, you should be pretty covered for this kind of automated branching.

I believe so, for now I feel like the best bet is to just have one basic branch fully set out (with different options that eventually lead to the same path, gauntlet-style). If I run out of time then it'll just be more of a linear story with not as much replayability, but if I can get the basic path...

     Is it possible to make multiple if statements to conclude one destination? Like even more possible pages depending on your relation with multiple other characters?

Prompt Contest 5 Progress discussion by Mizal on 01/11/2026
What you're probably looking for is the $DEST system variable. Set a variable for each person that can die, and then later if you want that choice to split the story off on a different path just put in the link script something like:

IF %FRIEND1 = 1

I am calling for talent for CYS’ first CYS has Skills? competition!

If you have a hidden talent, skill or can at least flop amusingly across the floor for our judges, fill out THIS FORM!

One first place prize winner will win: 1) 100 pointless points 2) a CYS has Skills? trophy 3) a MHD comm worth $25.00 !

The date will be Saturday, January 31st. This should give you enough time to prepare your talent. Talents include but are not limited to: a dramatic reading of an excerpt of your own writing, playing or singing a musical piece, or drawing live caricatures. Please keep your talents under 5 minutes!

This event will occur on Discord.

More details to come.

Clarification on Forum Conduct

Posted 1/6/2026 by hetero_malk

Hey all,

We've noticed a bit of a trend in a specific kind of low-quality posting recently. While we're not instituting any purges or planning sweeping censorship programs, which sucks because I already bought the dogs and black uniforms, I've conferred with the other mods and we think it's a good idea to clarify a matter of forum conduct. Our culture here is a rare and precious thing: we've managed to avoid becoming CoG-lite, but it's equally important that this place doesn't become an interactive fiction themed /pol/. 

What we're really discouraging is outright racial animus on the site. Don't say your favourite word that ends with a hard R, don't sincerely call for the extermination of whole groups. No one's going to be policing your obvious jokes, but we're also going to do the necessary pruning to avoid looking like a Nazi hangout.

Cheers,

Malk
