Yes, I’m tired and taking a study break so I’m making a pointless “game” thread (if that’s what you want to call this, anyway). Here’s how it works:
You write a story about the person above you based on what you know about them from Notessimo alone.
Let’s say my alter-ego Smokeflame Ruby (XD) posted above me. I would remember things he had posted in the forums and such, the songs he’d posted, comments, activity, etc. and write a story about him. You can make up random stuff, too. Get creative.
For example, here’s a very rushed (and very bad, I promise you my prose is better than this) mini story about an actual user, HaiThar (some may remember him, and for those who don’t: he was a troll who was active for about a day and was partly responsible for getting the Staff VS Users topic locked). He just posted hypothetically above me, so:
(By the way, it doesn’t have to be this long, you can make it any length you want…)
[details=Click to expand] Hai never had much luck throughout his life. Everywhere he went, misfortune and calamity would follow. He was determined to find a place to settle down and make friends, however, which he had never had any luck with, so he left his familiar home of Godknowswhere and explored the land of Interuebz.
Very early in the morning one day (predawn), as he was wandering about, he came across a small community known as Notessimo. He entered the community cautiously, for nearly everyone was still asleep, except for a few early risers here and there. He wondered whether he could make any friends here. He came up with a brilliant idea: he would tack posts on the doors of each house asking each resident to be his friend. He busily got to work.
By the time he was finished the sun was shining in the sky. It was a little past dawn. Hai was very tired and cranky and beaten by this point, so he tried to find a place to stay. The only place he could find was an old, empty-looking house. Despite its eerie look, Hai entered and curled up on a random couch.
He woke with a start. Something had made a very loud and horrible noise: like Synth Strings #1 and Trumpet Muted #1 had played a half step away from each other. Out of the shadows stepped a dark gray figure. “o hair derre,” it said, smacking its lips together.
Hai was terrified. The thing looked terrible, its long drab overcoat speckled with what looked like a pattern of #'s, b’s, and trollfaces. “What do you want from me?” he accused.
“ai woint hrt u, i promise,” the figure laughed, “as logn as u do ass i say.”
Hai hesitated, but then confirmed the request with a brisk nod of his head. He didn’t want any more trouble to chase him. This was meant to be a fresh beginning. “What do you want me to do?” he asked.
“i wnat u to troll everywon in dis kommunityy,” the figure growled, “i wnat evry last won of dem 2 hat u. hat ur guttz. mak dem want 2 throw u owt und nevr let u come bak.”
“But… But why! I came here for the very purpose of making friends!” Hai protested. But then he rethought what he’d said. He didn’t know what this figure would do. For all he knew, the figure could do things plenty worse. There were other communities he could join instead of this one, he supposed. He bowed his head.
The figure drew closer. It drew the hood of the cloak back to reveal a very strange face, half troll and half cat, its eyes wide open. “becuz dats wut i wnt thru,” the figure whispered menacingly, “ma name iz issac_gibson, nd u r now mai student.”
Hai was still a bit shocked, but then a feeling came over him… He realized what he must do. He had to
trololololololololololololololo. [/details]
Yeah, that’s the example. If anything’s unclear let me know.
Random topic is random. Feel free to delete this if it’s too pointless.
