Goons Are Gifts


On your knees, mortal. The Gods are watching.

Inspired by BM's laws, I decided to turn up the heat and bring some action into BYOB, the Law Zone. The game is this:
As lord servant of the almighty Gods, I will receive their words and transmit them to you via this thread. They will tell you to do something in every post you make in BYOB and if you don't do it, I will probe you for this sacrilege. You infidel.

Instructions:
1) Sign up to join the Cult of Enlightenment in this thread
2) Read the currently active commandment below. Commandments are subject to change every few days, depending on the will of the Gods.
3) Follow the current commandment no matter what. No taking back, no swimming around, full commitment only. Only exceptions of all commandments are serious effort posts and any posts in the Bad Vibes thread.
4) Come back to this thread to sign off the cult, ask questions regarding the currently active commandment or suggest new ones. Maybe they will listen to you!

Only yobbers who have signed up ITT are watched by the Gods and you can sign off anytime you wish (also sign up again afterwards), I will try to keep track based on the timestamp of your posts. That means that if you make a post breaking a commandment, then sign off and I catch you doing so, I will still probe you, so don't play with the God's fire. If you try to edit your soul out of it, beg that it's a ninja edit and no one saw it in time.
Commandments can change at any time, I will try to both not to overwhelm you with new rules as well as not let this go stale. ONLY the current commandment is important, anything before or after does not matter for your posts. I hope this stays manageable, I honestly can't tell.
Also note that if you break a commandment and don't get probed because I'm not on a computer or because I missed it, it can happen anytime later. I probably saw it, noted it down somewhere and the God's wrath will strike you down, so don't test me.

Winner's Blessing:
If you manage to follow a total of four commandments without breaking any of them, I will buy you a forum cert of your choice (reg/plat/archives/av/no ads/name change/unban)! This is not a race, so anyone who participates and wins can get one. If you don't want one, donating them is fine, too. Alternatively, choose a banner ad for byob and I'll buy that one instead.
A commandment counts as fulfilled if you signed up not too long after it was given (or if you already were signed up) and you stay in for the full duration. You can still sign off anytime, but the commandment that was in place then will not count for your score, even if you sign back on.
Your current score can be seen in the list below.


Current commandment: None

Nothing right now, post however you like

Current Cult of Enlightenment:

  • I Was The Fury (Commandments: 3)
  • bee eater (Commandments: 4) (Winner's Blessing!)
  • Heather Papps (Commandments: 2)
  • [dormant] alnilam (Commandments: 2)
  • lost my old email (Commandments: 2)
  • Bacon Taco (Commandments: 0)
  • TVsVeryOwn (Commandments: 1)

Previous commandments:
  • The Butt Zone: Every post has to include the word butt in some shape or form.
  • Threadnesday, but in BYOB: Everyone signed up has to post two threads before the commandment expires (happened after ~28 hours)
  • Gentleman's Club: Stay classy, avoid typos, properly capitalize letters and use proper grammar at all times.
  • Baby Thread Adoption: Post a creative thread and guide it towards adulthood, so it never falls off to page 2 and gets fun and attention.

Feel free to ask questions, post suggestions or ideas or high quality butt jokes in this thread.

This case of an intraperitoneal zucchini is unusual, and does raise questions as to how hard one has to push a blunt vegetable to perforate the rectum.

butt is it then mandatory to empty quote posts with the word butt in them for True "Believers"?

Let's add some byob spirited positivity into this church. Now available: The winner's blessing!

You can now win a forum cert of your choice if you follow a total of four commandments without breaking any of them. If you do break one, no worries, you're not out of chances and can just win with the next one!
I edited the op with some details, let me know if I forgot to specify anything in there.

If you do, the light may shine on you for an additionally long and peaceful time, but it is not mandatory under the current commandment. That may change though with the next one!

Nah if it had a butt it's good, unless I never saw it with a butt and you edited it out before I could confirm the fair post, then it's probably bad.
Although by common sense no one should ever edit out a butt tbh

Heather Papps posted:

No, quotes count as your post and are fine, just like with emptyquotes.

That's a good point, that weedass smiley is a holy exempt and fair use instead of a butt, I didn't think of that. After all, no one could deny a weedass anything.


Goons Are Gifts

:siren: New commandment!! :siren:

The Butt Zone has passed, you no longer have to post butts and are free to post whatever. However, everyone signed up has to post at least two new threads in BYOB before the commandment expires. Content, length, title and whatnot does not matter, also not if you post them right now or a minute before it's over, let us all enjoy some great posts!!
Anyone who didn't follow the commandment will be probed after the commandment is over.

Also, updated the scoreboard for the winners.

:siren: New commandment :siren:

The threadnesday is over, everyone but alnilam fulfilled their posting duty. You may now feel free to post as much or little as you like, however, the Gentleman's club is here! Stay classy, talk orderly, no typos, no mistakes, proper punctuation and capitalization, let's talk like real adults here. There is some freedom in small typos or stuff that just happens, but you should double check every post you make or beg that I don't see your emergency edit in time!
Regular English is the way to go here, I won't be monitoring other languages obviously and (not super common) names etc. are exempt. In general, if I can't check it in a dictionary, it's fair game.

Updated the scoreboard as well, we are getting close to two winners already!


Goons Are Gifts

edit: actually, let's stay a bit subtle here for other reasons

Help me please I can feel the Papps rising in me.

I want, very much, to just post the word "Bump!" but I remain hesitant, for I am not certain if a single word exclamation counts as proper, grammar wise.

I am very close to just doing it, and risking the probe, but I take my oaths seriously and will not break them knowingly.

I see your dilemma, Miss Papps, and to my knowledge it would be improper grammar to post a single word with an exclamation point. It is understandable when done as an exclamation of surprise, pain, disappointment, elation, or some other such outburst of emotion, but to be a complete grammatically correct sentence it would require both a subject and a predicate.
Of course, there is a potential that my knowledge is lacking, as I have not studied the English language in any depth since I was a much younger man.
