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

Anyone who watched the thing: Afaik you can specify the time and cause of death and the book will try to make it a reality. So, could you just write in something like "Shot by a sniper from the reinstituted USSR" in 20 years from now? Or "Died 5 minutes after delivering beans to Dirt_Owl?" In that sense, couldn't you use it as a wish list already?

Yes, but there are limits, if you tried to use it to reconstitute the USSR it would just default to heart attack. But you could 100% use it to deliver beans, as long as you're ok with the person dying afterwards. I think there's a time limit to how long you can control a person's actions before they die but I don't remember how long.

iirc if the preconditions cannot be met, then the person dies of a heart attack at the specified time, so can't exactly work that way. I think light tested that capability of the note on the prisoners early on
