Okay, so I've been hanging out in my pillow fort all morning (its pretty cool [made of all the pillows in my house]) and its starting to lose its "pizzaz." I mean I even used the big ones from the couch and a few sheets and chairs put together to make a roof, so its pretty ace, but I think I could do better for a Friday.

What can I do to make this thing more exciting? I'm looking for experience pillow fort builders advice ONLY please.

Is your fort all one big open space? Common but disastrous mistake- It is a fort, you need rooms! A room for the war table, a room for snacks and ammo, a room for Kevin since no one really wanted him to come over anyway so just stick him in there, etc.

I said EXPERIENCED fort builder advice. Its not a pillow house, I called it a fort. Of course it has multiple areas, don't insult me like that.

If a "No girls" sign had to be suggested to you I don't think you're as good at this as you think you are...

Anyway how about a second level built up onto the couch/chairs? what about an altar to tie Kevin to for a blood offering?

when i was a kid my parents had like 20+ of those giant rubbermaid containers. just filled with winter coats and sleeping bags and camping poo poo. Also ther was a spare mattress down there. So we'd set up all the big rubbermaid boxes as the walls, use the matress for a roof, thing was like 4+ feet high, basically as high as the basement ceiling, and as wide as the room it was built in. so it was basically just a slightly smaller version of the room we were already in


but the kicker? instead of pillow walls it was a pillow floor.

anyways this is ur average 'rich kid' pillow fort some of the kids in my school had some crazy poo poo u wouldnt even believe. pillow forts that connected to crawlspaces that connected to under the porch? hoooooly gently caress eric had it good

Somebody came to the door and knocked a few times, but they looked pretty scared when I started yelling "NO GIRLS ALLOWED" every time I heard knocking. Whatever the reason, they were repelled by my fortress walls.

I think I might need a moat or something but that sounds like a lot of work. Does anyone have any experience modding a kiddy pool into a moat?

Locate an adjacent enemy pillow fort, it's time to claim what's rightfully yours. Seige the pillow fort by using a pincer maneuver to encircle it, then appropriate any provisions which attempt to break the blockade and shoot down any supply drops. Once the defenders are weak from hunger, launch your assault. Raise your flag, send prisoners back to the first fort to be interred in camps.

Continue until you win lebensraum.

Before you do, demoralise the enemy using cointelpro (phoning them up so their mom keeps having to go to their fort with the phone, then hanging up)

You know I would try to think of something funny to put here but ill just pass on that and threaten people with a + 2 board with a nail in it.
Have you considered installing a moat and or booby traps? Maybe at the very least a couple of portcullis with that area in between with murder-holes on top so that you can dump hot coffee or soup on people when they try to break in to make you take it down.

You should have made a blanket fort, pillow forts are for losers.
