LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 This is a difficult task when you don't know the member-base super well, but I would love to see it. I too would give some advice if needed, in PM or such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cr47t Posted December 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 YCMer's Onion; Issue 1 (Written by cr47t)NOT-SO-BREAKING NEWS; "Writer's Block Wall" Popping up among several blogwriters and news companies Recently the YCMer's Pizza has noticed a lack of delivery of new versions of newspapers form various newspaper companies that have been widely trusted to not lie about information to gain attention or income. After an investigation that wasn't as much of an investigation as was a theory that stemmed off a reply to a status post by Dova, a YCM member, The YCMer's Pizza has determined a very likely reason to be that the newspaper companies have either no ideas to put on the papers, or have no idea as to how to find new stories to place in the news. Another status post reply by another YCMer, Armz, has brought up another suggestion; that "The irony of the blog section" was partially to blame.Whether the blog section had anything to do with this or not, the YCMer's Pizza has started to work on how to solve this crisis, but so far has not got too far as they are also under effect of this issue. It's as if a large wall has been built to block the news companies as well as some blogs from making any progress in writing, reporting, etc. But one of the questions is; What is the source of this "wall", and how do we stop it? The YCMer's Pizza is expecting to launch an investigation to solve this problem, and expects it to be more of an investigation than the last one we did, which was the theories based on the posts by Dova and Armz, as we mentioned earlier. End of article/post/whatever. What did you guys think? Post below, and tell me what you think, and how it could be better. This is my first shot at satire writing and if I did badly I want to know how I could be better at this, and if I did good I still want to know how I could be better at this.

Thar Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Ok guys, I hope i dont get only backlash, just for that one statement. Sorry :/ If you're gonna write satire, you need to learn to embrace it, no matter what the response is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Ok guys, I hope i dont get only backlash, just for that one statement. Sorry :/ I'm offended that you refuse to offend people with blatantly obvious satire and sarcasm. Reported for offending me. RIP your newspaper.

Ryusei the Morning Star Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 People here have to deal with me, I'm quite confident you'll offend people less than I do on a daily basis, regardless most of us have thick skins by now. You can't be gentle and also succeed at satire. Rip the other person/event to shreds. Honestly it can't be all that hard, with some of people on this site, to pick out something to satirize Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enguin Enguin Enguin Enguin Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 I'm going to be honest, I couldn't really understand what that was, or what was being said. I've read it twice through and I just don't get it. It's you saying you've writer's block but in a fairly scattered way and with run-on sentences abounding, as far as I can tell. I leave unsatisfied, in conclusion. Could be something's gone over my head mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cr47t Posted December 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 New issue, should be better than the last one based on what I got from you guys about your thoughts on the first one. YCMer's Pizza Issue 2 (Made by Thar) (Issue in spoiler)[spoiler=Zazu’s Alts Revealed to be from Ragnarok’s Clone Machine]Zazu’s Alts Revealed to be from Ragnarok’s Clone Machine Several years ago, YCM member ragnarok1945, so known by his alias “Rag”, was banned from the forum for constant flooding of posts in the Custom Cards section. While he tried to give feedback on practically every thread posted, his efforts were overshadowed by the rules of the section indicating that a certain word count must be reached for it to not be considered spam. After receiving several warns, his persistence to try to know what he was talking about while supposedly being everywhere at once earned him a drop-kick out of the premises. Not too long afterwards, a member by the name of Zazu began taking the section by storm in Rag’s place. While he was not breaking the rules of the section in terms of spam and flooding, his advice was not well perceived by the community, making it hard for anyone to take him seriously. After what seemed to be a stick went up his bottom, the member grew a short fuse as a result of collective negative feedback to his feedback that would later set him off on Maxxion levels. The explosion left nothing but disappointment and one less Zazu on the internet… until another one showed up. In retaliation to an alt account, the mods perma’d him, only to see another… and another. The Zazu army continued to invade the kingdom of YCM until finally they stopped coming. Since then, the community has been on alert, assuming all new members were Zazu until it became evident that their cardmaking skills were nowhere near as good, or at least polished. The now-forgotten Damage Control team has been searching for the source of these alts since the invasion and found no lead until Zazu’s ban was lifted, bringing him back for good. At that time, footprints were seen coming out of a strange area of the community where no one would think of going. These footprints led to a secret room with a strange machine that was soon figured out to be a clone machine. However, while Zazu was indeed using it to create copies of himself to take on YCM by storm, evidence showed that ragnarok1945’s hair was seen shed amongst the cavity, revealing that he was also cloning himself. After calling for backup and an in-depth scientific background on the machine, it was said that a side-effect of using the machine included slight brain damage, which explained the lack of words, if not helpfulness, of Rag’s flooding comments. Please post and let us know what you think of this.Edit: I fixed spelling error Thar mentioned below after post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
