BYOB needs a little chaos. A little edge.

BYOB has a lot of folks who like novelty probes.

BYOB is a prototype fyadlite.

In conclusion, let's run IK contests. RNG is tradition but I like actual contests. If we get a rogue IK dispensing too many sixers that's funny to me.

I am excited to learn of the imminent stepping down of the moderators, and their decision to hand the keys over to randomly-selected Idiot Kings.

No disrespect to the moderators, including NUMBER ONE MOD. I just think it's time for some idiots instead.

I can't speak to that because the only spiritual and actual government to decide that is the reigning IK, I'm just a low mod I'm just a subject of the king as you are, you have to convince him to implement reforms and start a revolution!!

Well, then - Heather Papps, will we be having Idiot King Contests?

what if instead of this forum being a fyad-lite, fyad became byob-heavy?

I think you will have to raise that idea with FYAD directly.

100% of my rap sheet is byob novelty probes lol. I could say it's because I'm a good poster, but more likely I'm just not that interesting and pretty chill.

I think it's kinda that way but in a good spirited not really secret way? The first time I was IK maybe over 5 years ago Duckie messaged me and was like "do you want to be IK for a couple months give or take?" and I was like "yeah sure" and got PM'ed an extremely reasonable list of "dos and don'ts" (I think they are mostly the same now as they were then) then when I was done, I recommended someone as my successor, Olive! I think, and I assume the same process happened. Presumably whoever was before me recommended me as well.

The most recent time maybe half a year ago I guess it was an "IK contest" that I got voted in on by all of like maybe 10 votes lol. After a few months I was in a weird living situation and Mani and GaG were like "want someone to take over? You can do another contest if you want or just hand it over" and I said "sure, I'm unreliably online right now, maybe just give it to one of a short list of names including Barking Gecko because they are cool and good and I'd trust them as IK?" and I guess that's what happened.

So I guess that's my super-secret shadow government behind the scenes info! You can hand out 6ers, sticky threads for various amounts of time in a drop-down menu, and goldmine threads (maybe gas too? but like hardly any byob threads need gassing), and I think that's about it. It's all so exciting! lol

lol even if still unviewable other then the title being there and inaccessible, enough people don't get byob as it is, and I think that would make it even more confusing to those people and I think that's funny.

just lmao if you become an IK and don't give yourself a 6er. It was probably the first thing I did and the first one I ever got.

lol last time i was ik the forums nearly shut down, do we really want to risk that again?

It is!
We actually still do it that way. Byob has a tradition of rotating IKs and the list you mentioned is still the same but with my writing instead of fluffie basically and ehh I think we only added a passage about succession and gang tags, that's it.

Since we had the Big Revolution Of The Lazy earlier this year, the setup is exactly the same, but we made it more relaxed. Originally every IK got one full month to go and be crazy, now we do it with a general "tell us how long you'd like" approach with mild "how about" limitations to keep things spinning, plus the IK gets to decide how to decide who gets to rule next. Anything goes, from IK contest to democracy to wild games to the IK deciding on a name or many. Even multiple IKs aren't forbidden if the IK wishes to do so.

So if HP wants to do an IK contest later on, that's entirely cool!
If we want to have an IK contest at all times instead of having the IK decide how to proceed, that's an entirely plausible suggestion, too, kinda depends on how both you guys as well as our past and current IKs felt with the do what you wish concept


Manifisto


they call them idiot kings but I tell you whut they seem pretty intelligent and crafty to me

two contests in one ikdom sounds like a pretty good legacy to me! better than "forgot to give me the probe i was PROMISED"


e: i need to deliver all the probes i promised before i hand the reigns over i think but yeah i have had a blast doing the needful.
