Greetings!

Um.... you seem to be the most active user, so I thought I'd introduce myself. There's not much to say, but is there anything I should know that's not on the main page? I admit, I'm a bit confused by the distinction between "Normal" and "R-rated" stories. Could you clarify please? Other than that, can you recommend any stories to read in the R-rated or under sections?

Thanks--Rawar 09:23, 27 March 2009 (PDT)

Okay

Sorry about that. I'll try my best to do keep things right. I'm usually pretty good about this stuff but far from the best. If I'm doing anything wrong, just let me know and I'll do my best to fix it.-121 18:25, 30 January 2009 (PST)

Misc.

I created a separate page which I use to describe a few points on the status bar, thereby allowing me to remove it from the main page and giving a end result that I think looks much nicer. However, since it's not technically part of the story if this is a problem feel free to delete it. Just let me know if you do so I can re-add the information to the first page. - Katrex 18:48, 28 September 2008 (PDT)

Platypus,

Not all of them are endings. Im actually refreshing it with a new side story.

Sex Romp updates

Just a brief note so you'll know I'm enjoying the SSR outrageousness. I especially like Lynn the ballerina, her determination to bring as many in as possible, and her slightly foul-mouthed amazement at their (lack of) limits. I'd like to see more of Lynn... pity there's no option (yet) to let her follow the player home and playfully boss him around some more. (-:

My Threads (University Daze)

Thanks for the grammar nazi'ing. I have a habit of coming back (read: much) later and fixing what I write. It helps to be distanced from it, otherwise I don't spot errors and can't really tell whether I like what I've written. You've made my job easier.

skilful / skillful

"skilful" is a better spelling than "skillful" because whereas both spellings are acceptable in American English, only "skilful" is allowed in British English. Therefore that's the spelling that should be used here: Rock, Paper, Scissors/Rock/Rock.--Alphador 03:36, 12 December 2008 (PST)

Newbie

Hey - just discovered this site and have been perusing some of your work. I have a question - is it permitted to add gay options to existing stories? I am not sure what the accepted rules are. I can start my own story, but thought it might be fun to add to some of the existing adult CYOAs. PhinnyGene 12:36, 17 December 2008 (PST)

Yes. Adding gay options to existing stories is allowed. --Platypus 16:03, 17 December 2008 (PST)

I added an option to the Fuck Christie's tits page of Jack Foster -- I see you reverted it -- did I do something wrong? I thought we were encouraged to add more possible options...? PhinnyGene 20:29, 19 December 2008 (PST)

Just a quick question. Can we start our own stories? If yes, then how? Unkowhero23

Thanks for contacting - I thought I was making my own story, but obviously I'm doing something wrong Lol! Will look into it and to a bit more reading. Cheers! Impious

Sub Categories

I noticed that in SSR you have a separate category for all of the locations in that story. I was wondering if this is something that should be done for all non-story pages of an adventure. In my story, War of Nations, I do have a couple of spells with links that aren't related to the plot but instead explain what the spell does. Also, second question, Should I begin all of my options with War of Nations/ or is it okay to remove that part? Thirdly, how exactly do I create a category?

• I created the location subcategory mainly so I could track how many pages are in a given location and make it easier to get to pages in a given location. From a location's page, I can click on "What Links Here" and see all the pages in that location. If you want to make a subcategory for spells, feel free.

Should you begin all options with War of Nations? It's up to you. Adding that to the option name does keep you from accidentally crossing pages with another story.

Creating a category is much like creating a regular page. Type [[Category: Category Name]] on a page and the page is now categorized. Click on the red Category Name and you go to an index page showing all the pages in the category. If you place the name of another category on that index page, your new category become a subcategory. --Platypus 17:23, 1 February 2009 (PST)

Thanks for the help

Thank you for helping me with my story! I'm new to editing Wikis so I don't know to add categories and all that plus I make mistakes often. Thanks. One question, why did you delete 666? It was a perfectly good room!

Londonbirder

Hi Platypus,

Sorry to hear about the vandal attack. I haven't heard of him attacking elsewhere, but if I have learned anything about vandals, they get bored and move on after a little while. I saw that you were blocking his IP's so that should at least make it harder.

Note: it is very unlikely that he is related to Londonbirders. They are a group interested in birds, not messing with wikis, so I wouldn't bother asking them about this. He is most likely just trying to get wikis to accuse eachother.

What is this "owned by birdwatchers" thing doing on my page?

Seems that there is some vandal wandering around. Just revert his changes and don't engage him in dialog (never feed the trolls)

It'll do for now

I'm sure you'll completely repair the main page when you get back online. I don't care too much about the rest of this jerk's vandalism, but we need a main page and I did what I could to get it at least usable. BTW, is there any way to block all users named "londonbirder[anything]" at once, so that imbecile boy would have to at least switch to a completely new username? Hopefully he'll get bored soon. -- Teejay

thanks for your help

Thanks for your revisions. I hope you are enjoying the story. I'd love your contributions if you'd be so bold.

What the Barbeque

K so i think we got an issue here mister LETS GO RUIN ALL THE FUN. I see that you want to be like us cool dudes and make the site better one story at a time but we gotta come to an agreement here k? Now this leads me to my first question. Are You the only admin on this site? OR ARE YOU JUST SOME KIND OF BARBEQUE HATER?!?!?!?! You are the only person who seems to freak out when we do anything that you think is wrong everyone else is gettin a laugh and changin it back in time... but you just seem to scream about every little thing. Yes i see that you are doing good but still....

thankyou Me

p.s. it would be really cool if you could set font colour :) (and if you can, can you help with how?)
