Let's Play GenGame

[averagejoe]

You know, I was going through the previous threads (that's how I recognized it as the eldritch abomination, by the way), and I found a lot of filler I didn't know existed, because it wasn't on the site. Any chance of it ever getting put up there?

Yeah, we've just been trying to figure out what to do with it. We reused three of them for the cast page, but for the rest we dunno. Personally I'm for just reusing them as filler, thus making lazy filler even lazier, but that's the kind of idea I have that Chevsky keeps shooting down.

[flabort]

Hmm. When you guys use my commands, you use them at the worst possible times, don't you ?

You could gather it up, and put it in one of those site-announcements, and use all the unmoved filler as a filler at once. that's less lazy

I’ve actually been considering somehow moving everything from the previous threads to the website, possibly under the relevant pages in the archive. (i.e. posting ">female spy" under the name of whoever first suggested it or something. Basically something to get a copy of the giant in the playground posts onto the website and tying them in to the pages of the comic they were discussing to avoid confusion.

Considering everything we say about the genverse is at least sub-canon it might make things easier to understand for newer readers.


How any of this would happen outside of just copy-pasting every post and posting it in the comments section under the original posters name (which I’m not even sure is possible) I don’t even know.

Finally found a trope I think fits with [message redacted|enjoy gencola!]:
Suspiciously Specific Denial.
I was Here when I found it.

[thereaper]

I'm not so sure. It sometimes applies, but in any case where it just says [Message Redacted | Enjoy Gencola], there's nothing specifically being denied.

That could potentially be helpful for me as well. I still occasionally go through the old threads and look for ideas in there.

I'm afraid Domochevsky is being slowly devoured by some sort of infection, so I don't know when the next update will be. I'll probably try to figure out some form of LAZY FILLER. While I do like this format, it's occasionally irritating to not be able to create a buffer.

You mean he's caught GenPlague? Run for your lives everyone, GenPlague is the only known biological ailment transmitted by the internet

[averagejoe]

I won't catch it. I've had my Gencola.

I hear that There are no Gencola resistant strains of GenPlague| Enjoy Gencola

I was under the impression that that's what Showdown was for.

Showdown is because I felt like doing it, and to have an outlet for stuff that Domochevsky would never let me do in the main storyline because it's too time consuming to draw/it will probably ruin everything. We occasionally use it as lazy filler.

[Draconi Redfir]

for the reccord i have no problems with lazy filler

I, on the other hand, invoked a 10 week immunity to filler here back in september, so much as I understand there are issues, I cannot remove the immunity before it runs out naturally or is dispelled by an equal or higher level opponent.

[flabort]

I think you want to check that again

[thereaper]

Yay for Showdown Index (though hopefully it won't be sitting in the recent updates section forever). However, you messed up the text for the last link.

By the way, the newest showdown is showing up in the most recent updates section instead of the most recent showdowns section.

Ah. Yeah, neither of those things should have happened. The "post" button for drafts is the same as the, "Save changes," button for most pages. >.< But, yeah, I've been trying to keep up with the showdown index. We just need to figure up website stuff related to putting it up.

[thereaper]

Well, why don't you just make a copy of the "Pages" section for Showdown? Should be simple enough.

[Domochevsky]

And yet you didn't correct it. (Putting the index in the wrong category, that is.)
I moved it to the news currently. I suspect we'll need to figure out soon how to integrate it into the sidebar. A "Pages" setup similar to regular GenGame is probably the best idea all in all.

On a personal note, i feel better now (After about 14h of sleep today, completely screwing my regular sleep schedule). Still kinda hurtin' but i should be able to get back to GenGaming today.

[thereaper]

By the way, the new Showdown has a > before the command. Showdowns aren't supposed to have those.

And the last link in the index still has the wrong text.

/nitpick

[PhantomFox]

Um... what's a showdown?

[Domochevsky]

The showdown is a text-only sidestory going on, written by AJ only, describing a different GenGame session. Here's the current (temporary?) index of it.

Sonofa... I definitely set that back to, "Draft." >.<

And apparently it didn't even save the changes when I fixed the link.

They can if I want them to. :P

[thereaper]

Are they also supposed to have plot holes?

[averagejoe]

If you notice any plot holes, it's probably an hallucination brought on by a lack of adequate Gencola consumption.

You've been going for the cheap brands instead of proper Gencola, haven't you?

[Draconi Redfir]

Gencola; Bringing flavour to the ghetto at low-low prices since the discovery of reusable wash-waste.

[flabort]

You're saying you don't drink gencola brand GenCola?! That's like saying you don't watch genvision provided by GenVision!

While we're at it though, [GenChatter Cellphones are the Best!|Drink GenCola!]

[thereaper]

Actually, I've heard that Gencola causes a feeling of absolute bliss! After all, there was once a time where people didn't have Gencola, and they lived just horribly!

Oh, wait, now I remember! ROGUEs were given fake souls in the last patch, specifically so that Dreamsnatchers would be able to do something to help take over the Mechanofortress. It's no substitute for the real thing, but it does allow them to have dreamworlds. I apologize for accusing you of such a horrid oversight as a plot hole, AJ.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not ignoring the issue.

[thereaper]

But wait, if you're not ignoring the issue then why did you just twist my command into something completely different without addressing the plot hole?

Or is this something that will come up again later?
