[DAFT] Is This Thing On?

Postby Candlewhisper Archive » Tue Apr 23, 2024 6:29 am

TITLE:
Is This Thing On?

VALIDITY:
yes

DESCRIPTION:
With a massively popular and highly addictive webgame facing unscheduled downtime from a self-immolation related hard drive failure, emergency meetings have been called by your Cabinet to discuss this dire situation.

OPTION 1
"I almost had a heart attack when I saw the error message, thought they'd permabanned me and unalived my nation," cries the Minister, failing to finish to write the first option before

OUTCOME:
reminder: INSERT EFFECT LINE HERE

OPTION 1
"Of for Violet's sake, stop using 'unalived'! You can say 'killed'! Daguo is not going to sweep down and delete your words just because you said 'killed!'" complains your Chief Editor, oblivious to the confusion caused by a single ' mark being directly followed by a". "I mean, its frankly offensive to the undead nation that I created, which while not canonical is definitely important to my RP."

OUTCOME:
EFFECT LINE REDACTED BY DAGUO

OPTION 1
"Look, this whole issue is clearly too meta, and you need to stop this nonsense straight away," complains Kendall Wispa-Kiive, a sociopathy who refuses to separate speech properly into paragraphs, always uses synonyms for "says", writes run-on sentences, likes linguistic ambiguity more than mosy people, makes spelling mistakes, who wilfully disregards serial commas and full-stops when it is pointed out that clarity is improved by them. "What's next?" he yells, "Authorial insertion?"

OUTCOME:
I'll stop now. Someone please turn NS on again before I go totally insane.

Option 1 is pretty funny, but it has multiple grammatical problems compared to option 1, which has mediocre comedy at best but is well structured. Option 1 seems to be a balance of both option 1 and option 1. However, the length of option 1 is longer than both option 1 and option 1 combined. Actually, perhaps option 1 may be just the perfect length, but compared to option 1, it may as well be too short. Not to be confused with option 1 which, now that I think about it, is obviously biased and should be greatly rewritten, just like how option 1 and option 1 are too similar and should be rewritten, too.

This made a lot more sense once I noticed the... slightly different-than-usual tag in the title :) Skimmed right past it at first!

Welp, this one's going in the list.

Glad I'm not the only one who's put their clinical NS-deprived insanity into an issue and doubly glad I thought to open GI out of mass layers of sediment and procrastination to witness this.
You're welcome to telegram me any questions you have of the game. Unless I've CTE'd (ceased to exist) - then you physically can't do that.
