I'm going to shamelessly promote my writer's contest thread here since the creative projects side of the forums doesn't get much traffic.

It's basically a short story contest sort of like the forgotten beast contest, except using the TvTropes story generator and the winner generating a new set of story tropes for the writers to follow.  It's a great exercise in writing skills, especially when the Story generator spits out something really ridiculous (which it often does).

Writers of all skill levels are welcome.

Heh...I'd thought of doing something like that myself before. Didn't realize TvTropes had its own function to get the ball rolling.

I came up with the following joke today:

You're familiar, of course, with Kony 2012: Invisible Children. But are you familiar with these other historic campaigns?

Bony 1812: Invisible Russians
Tony 2005: Invisible Cameras
Berlusconi 2010: Invisible Children

I have a question.  I want to get on the bay 12 IRC channel, but the problem is that I have no idea what server it's on or what the channel name is.  Could somebody fill me in?  I've scoured the forums but haven't found anything.

Check the wiki.

Check the wiki.

Derp.  Thank you.

the only one that matters is irc.freenode.net/#dfhack


On a more serious note, it's irc.newnet.net/#bay12games, I think.

Best one.

I'm  kind of disappointed now that I got on.  It seems that some trolls have infested it.  I'll just stick to the forums for now.

you're a goddamned B12er! kick those troll's arses by ignoring and tolerating the motherfucking shit outta them!

Trolls? Where? I LOVE THEM!

if elves are treehuggers...
what are you and other trollhuggers?

They're an endangered species maaaaaaaaaaaaan, and most of the people who are considered trolls really aren't.

When I jumped onto the IRC channel. . .I typed something and the first response was from somebody under the handle of Kidiri.  His response was simply 'Hoe.'  He's either a troll or has zero tact.

I can tell the difference between troll and logical arguers.

half the people on the internet, when faced with losing an arguement that will result in their work being slagged off, will scream 'TROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLL!' and others just jump in the bandwagon.

When I jumped onto the IRC channel, I was greeted upon typing 'well' by somebody called kiridian or somesuch and their first response was 'Hoe'.  They then proceeded to bug the crap out of several people.  He's either a troll or has no tact.

EDIT: My post didn't show up and it looked like I was trying to be a snarky asshat T_T

I'm talking about trolls, and people trying to troll. Legit. And failing.

I prefer rock trolls.
