[The Architect]

I personally decided to not help with this. It's not really a story so much as a ramble.

As long as people are intentionally disrupting it because they think it's funny to be "random", it isn't really any fun. It would only work if people were willing to work together and actually be smart and clever, which is what makes good humor.

[Huesoo]

I changed a sentence because it had a double negative, they ignored me.

Also, about every third person posts two words.

I mean, I understand where they're coming from. They want to have a certain word come in right after theirs. But that's nothow the game works. If you don't want to just post a "the" then wait for someone else to bite the bullet.

That is, assuming these folks realize they're posting two words. I could see how you'd miss that in the heat of the night moment.

[The Architect]

No, that's a rule. An operator doesn't count as a word. The English language is odd that way; we use two words for one quite often.

So we made a rule.

[LeoLeonardoIII]

I didn't notice that rule change. You'll note that the OP posted just an operator.

And I'm not sure how one can argue that "the cat" is one word. Perhaps the operator doesn't contain much value in itself, and exists chiefly in support of the word beside it, but clearly.

The.

Cat.

Two words.

Now in English we do have contractions, and compound words, and hyphenated words, and words that contain a great deal of meaning.

But "the" surely is a three-letter word regardless of its individual contribution to the meaning of the sentence.

[The Architect]

It doesn't really matter whether you like the rule, and I don't want to go look up whatever page it was on. It's a rule. No use complaining about it.

I'm not going to get into a grammatical dispute over the relevance of your argument :-P

[Hungry]

The word "the" as a lone word isnt proper in understanding, where as "cat" is more where it describes an animal.

Sentences require meaning and understandability, words do not alone require cohesion in the slightest.

The challenge here would be to add words to create cohesion, not remove from it.

People generally missed that it would be much more interesting and funny to see what kind of story we could write than to simply crap all over it.

Architect uses Passive Aggression!
... It's not very effective.

 

I didn't really think there was an argument. Besides, it's just a funny forum game. I'll continue posting one word regardless of whatever rules change came up. Skipping operators doesn't seem all that unreasonable, but I'm fine posting the occasional "the" and leaving it for the next player.

[The Architect]

It's not aggression at all. Interpret it literally, including the word "argument", and you will see that. I don't appreciate the accusation.

a : a reason given in proof or rebuttal b : discourse intended to persuade

I'm sure you know this already; you've simply overlooked it this time.

[LeoLeonardoIII]

It's okay, I'm used to the Internet by now. Consider it dropped.

Done. Anyone have some interest in continuing this ramble?

[LeoLeonardoIII]

The object appears before a bear pig hybrid and is moving south. Obviously waffles are on the hybrid's snout. So the object is malcontentedly meandering into Death's tongue, so Death spits it into the lake of fire and takes hold of a spatula. This audacious, audacious move would flatulently incite the snailmen marauder's anger, bringing Cheddarius into conflict with pulsating vomit of Khorne, the bear pig herder. He sees dead monkeys flying around and singing "Cocks Away!"

Now, lads, when you attack rabid bear pigs, you must kick a sensitive guy in the city "jewels", also known over Germany as 'bratwurst'. Sensitive Tophats request naked truths. When drunk they eat pieces amalgamized with hydrargyrum.

This is madness. Madness? They don't farthingly have no ramblings! However, kleptophiliacs are good targets for advertisers, but maddeningly shine. Impecunious accountants drink preposterous amounts!
 
In many particular Buttcracks puny sandworms, we find fencing accountants typing "Cocks Away!" incoherently; "Koks Asway!" Suddenly, many Finlanders arbitrate accountants' lawsuits, unfortunately every second they account for pie-filled donkeys. Now Dr. Dick Cheney, formerly renounced headhunter of apoplex'd FUCKINGBOATMURDERED, has been researching Accounting for twenty-six nanoseconds and may well account for the loss of a large vehicle known as "Gogandantess". Rapping cutebold drive me insane, and evil. On the topic of maligned giraffes, I must increase flux tachyon wave-particle accountants. Because accountants. Why? To further castrate no-one. In 1944 minutes, there will be no accountants. Gunnerkrigg Court accounts for almost all of Aqizzar's accountants' clothes.

Aqizzar's ...accountants? Glittered Twilight-ily towards Akigagak's oversized undersized arms and armour and was deflected into xdarkcodex's rump, releasing a very poisonous spider, drunkenly tumbling end under taco sauce accountants forever.

O frabjous fönsteret, don't account for nothing in this time and the lamb sauce accountants lie continually. Klaus Promethium Grizwaldo Smith VII esquire slammed into a butler named 'Genteelmanly Geoff', who exploded saucily. He said, "How now, Potatoes Tummyache?! Ramboman stinks!" incoherently.

Burgundy rum infested crabs march while General DeLarge counts his droogs a thousandfold. Accountants vomited accountants, therefore we ARE THE DOOOOOOMED ACCOUNTAAAAAAAAAANTS OF QUETZALCOATL!

However, the common sauces don't account for that fact. While tasty, it raps numerous beats, leading the crowd towards Nirvana. Quails taste delicious. They really like eating Accountants of particular deities like Zeus' cuttlefish, a beast of remarkable size, pliers flailing like many bespecled lambs.

Also, what happens when we reach the character limit for a single post?

[100killer9]

This was supposed to be a serious story?
