Wow this is great! Also, new useful site for web design get!

It's really late over here, but I'll add some more stuff later. Love how everyone is working together.

Also, everyone who feel they can't mod: Just suggest things that fit any of the following categories and one of us can very easily fix it up and adding it:
// In this example we have
// 1 - something that can plain happen to you
// 2 - Colors
// 4 - Plural body parts, if it something not everyone might have end in ", if any". Other things you have such as "clothes" or even "friends" also go here.
// 8 - Weather, including strange weather such as raining strange substances or gravity reversing.
// 16 - durations, numbers of repetitions, or other indications of when somehting happens
// 32 - Single body parts, ahain, apend ", if any" when aproriate. Also may include other things you have one of, such as your family.
// 64 - things that can happen to a body part/ways a body part can change
// 128 - (implied by 1, suggest for that instead])
// 256 - (implied by 64, suggest for that instead])

Also, suggestion I'm not entirely sure I can pull of myself: we should add more categories, and separate out more comonly used things into the sentence template. For example, a "creatures" list and changing some templates to contain the "You turn into", and then you can use cretures easily in other ways to withote having to add them all over again.
Categories we might consider adding: "creatures" "proerties"(intelligence, strength, speed, sensitivity, hearing, density, sharpness), "temperatures"(might have other creative uses with some grammatical twists), "items/materials"(gems and jewlry, a kings feast, magical books), "locations"(in the room, on your person, in a two mile radius, all over the planet, the general vicinity), "people"(this one might be to complicated with posessives and pluralizing differing and stuff)(you, your family, everyone in [LOCATION]) "amount modifiers"(a lot, a little, by an incredible amount, slightly, more and more)

Longer term/less feasibly, we should look into being able to insert tags in any of the stings with a category-referring number, and have it replaced with a string from the corresponding category, recursively. This would mostly replace the templates. You could then do stuff like "You grow a [colour][creture][bodypart] on your [bodypart]" (and the roll for [creture] is "an abdomination half [creture] and half [creture]")

Okay, I added some basic functionality along this line, using a couple of test cases to make sure it worked. You can see the code at the very top, under the Proper Name arrays I created as an example.

[Armok]

Wow, that was fast.

Now to convert everything to this new system and make it iterate; right now, if I added 'aProperLNames[aPNIter++] = "[FNAME_MALE]sson";' that wouldn't work properly if I read the code right. Easiest, if potentially buggy, way is probably to search for if a bracket symbol is present at the start of the function, remember it, and if it was loop over the function again after the replacing has been done.

[RedWarrior0]

Once you finish, I say we give it to the people who came up with the original.

[Tarran]

Sounds good to me.

Since nobody appears to oppose this, I'm making the modification.

If anyone is annoyed for me marking my modifications with my name, feel free to remove them and tell me. But I'd suggest not removing the comments themselves as they list the text that was modified.

 Your right middle finger turns fuschia and enlarges, then you become a ghost.

no more needs to be said

 You gain unmatched skill in hot-dog-eating contests, then your voice lowers an octave, and finally you are struck by lightning.

I think it's worth it if I can win money in hot-dog-eating contests

Your lungs burst into flames until you complete the Trial of 1000 Knives.

My trials are complete and I have reached inner peace.

Local gravity doubles four times.

So its 16 times normal gravity now? In the news: compressing atmosphere causes untold weather storms and destruction.

A fissure in the earth opens and releases prehistoric reptiles and then you turn into a catperson.

Best. Spell. Ever.

Added some more curse-like conditionals, and slightly improved things with commas. Still plenty of run-ons, but it should be a bit nicer.

I don't know if I care for the non-setting-neutral ones in that section (Cerol's mostly). It would be fairly trivial to create the option of setting themes for entries, and culling them based on the status of checkboxes - just use a bitfield check on the cooresponding entry in a seperate array, or ignore it if it's absent. That said, I don't know if javascript's arrays support automatically padding lower indexes, which that would require if we didn't want to have an extra aItem<blah> for each entry. JS Bin seems to support including an ample amount of libraries, I'm sure something suitable can be found, but the question is if anyone else is interested.

Once you finish, I say we give it to the people who came up with the original.

Someone should let her know anyway. I was going to before I posted the first link, but I didn't want the topic to sink into oblivion. She also appears to only be on facebook, which I really don't like using in connection with this name.

All of your fingers turn blue, and then gems and jewelry materialize near you until you seek out a flawless jewel to bind this evil curse.
You become hungry, and then you gain unmatched skill in basketball when others aren't looking. - isn't that always?

[Scelly9]

What are the names used for? I can add a bunch of em if you want.

Blah. I honestly hadn't thought about keeping it setting-neutral. Might just be easier to set the Earth-specific results to something generic like "You are crowned King (or Queen) of a major monarchy," "You are crowned King (or Queen) of a major non-monarchy,"  and/or "You are crowned King (or Queen) of another planet."

What are the names used for? I can add a bunch of em if you want.

I just had a couple of example results in there - "Your name is changed to <BUNCHANAMEVARIABLES>" for male and female names. (Though I was considering making a variable that just randomly chose from either list, which would allow me to condense that to one result.) I was considering adding others later, such as copying the current ones for the 'and' uses and maybe coming up with something like "You gain the eternal hatred of Lord <BUNCHANAMEVARIABLES>" and so on. Feel free to add more if you'd like.

Edit: http://jsbin.com/idifof/19/edit#html Removed Earth-based names from my options, as well as the wookiee thing and added the above name variable results. Left the February 29 thing in, but you can remove it if you don't want to reference Earth months. I just liked the 'once a leap year' option, and didn't have a better way to frame it.

It gave me this:

You are crowned King (or Queen) of the nearest democracy until you complete the Trial of 1000 Knives.

[zomara0292]

Local gravity halves until you learn the value of friendship.

Quick, watch MLP! And learn Magic!

Local gravity stops until you complete the Trial of 1000 Knives. You breasts, if any, suddenly fill with milk until you spend a night in a haunted house.

Soo. . . . . . . . I am not even going to say it. . . . I will stop right there actually.

Ok, did some more serous coding.

* I got iteration to work perfectly, although tags now have to contain # somewhere since it broke when I tried to search for brackets.
* striped away some of the content for testing more easily, this is easy to paste back from a previus version
* with the above, discovered it often returns "undefined", reason unknown, someone needs to fix this bug.

* curently working on generalized the entire system, it's a ****ing mess.

Spoiler: Link hidden under spiler so people wont accidently add content to it, this is ugly, technical, broken and very much progress (click to show/hide)

edit; ok, I give up. This is utterly imposible. You should be able to dicern what I'm trying to do from the source, please help.

Your penis, if any, gains the powers of Mr. fantastic repeatedly. Your left arm throbs with pain, but only for a few minutes.

The creepy part is this that I'm left-handed. I... I think it may be mocking me.

Use a proper IDE if you're going to make changes this big =P Will help tremendously. Eclipse has plugins for javascript I believe. I only really know Java, C#, and a couple of BASIC dialects, and I have other projects to work on so I can't help much here. The debugger will be able to tell you what indexes it's using that are undefined and from there it shouldn't be too hard to track down what's going wrong.
