    One kid to power one city. What do you think about expanding into a franchise?

    So, erm, funny thing: we were crunching some numbers and turns out - the whole dungeon thing? Not needed after all. We could have just had a utopia this whole time, no catch. Can’t believe no one noticed this, doesn’t even make sense in hindsight. Now isn’t that the silliest thing? classic

      It wouldn’t be fair to the Omelas kids of the past if we stopped now. We have to get a meeting together to discuss the potential EV of the change. Go ahead and get a slide deck ready to talk about brand risk, ripple effects on the market, employee overhead, and all the good stats that I like. I need it by Wednesday to be ready for the pre meeting where I’ll rope in marketing and HR on this.

    It was a pretty mean prank to pretend to be an abused kid in a dungeon. Now a lot of people are leaving the city. Care to explain yourself?

badposting is a comm where you post badly


This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.

Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who’s been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?


Rules:

  1. Do not post good posts.
    • Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase “GOOD post” followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
    • Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
  2. This is not a comm where you direct people to other people’s bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
  3. This rule intentionally left blank.
  4. If you’re struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.

Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get better worse material bozo
