this was not my submission, but definitely my favorite out of them all
very well written, though I would’ve made a couple tweaks

this bit seems a little out of character for iv - he’s more indecisive (that was his primary character trait when I wrote him for kotc), and less… overtly evil. this felt more like something iii would say, though I think the argument between ii and iii also makes sense (they tend to clash, as ii cares way less about the kingdoms and far more about food than iii)

also, “it’s” should actually be “its”


there were a lot of details in there that were really well done, though

this perfectly matches my sense of humor (yes, I know it’s a parody of my ending post in KOTC 2, but still)

(I would totally do it)

I also really like the attention to detail regarding the servants

also, super minor thing but I love that this is written in present tense

since almost all of my RP is written in past tense (opened vs opens), but KOTC was one of the few instances where I wrote primarily in present tense (the other was Keldi’s minority rule iirc)

also very much my sense of humor
I might’ve gone with a 98/1/1, but close enough

also, just in general, but this is exactly how I lay out paragraphs - usually it’s either [action sentence] [dialogue] [action] or it’s [dialogue] [action] [dialogue]

I do this all the time
I’ll write a sentence, dislike it and write a new one, then attempt to jam the two together and miss a word or two

this is not bad grammar, this is Peak Squirrel Roleplay

(the other parts were bad grammar, though, I would never do that)

this is not my submission but definitely my favourite out of all of them

when i talk in character i always use capitalization and punctuation. in my rp games i never talk out of narration about actions, unless i’m making a statement about what it does
also i wouldn’t directly ask, i would likely quote that persons logic stat fron their op, and say it as if logic’s saying it.

i’d also use more three dot lines if i’m phrasing something like this

this is exactly how i’d phrase it, minus the missing question mark

i was going to save this explaination for later but somebody forced my comedically timed hand

Doesn’t exist but fine

Works generally but the question mark is throwing me off, I think it’s a little more uptalky than I’d usually go. I’d end this sentence with a … or something

I would obviously capitalise any sentence following punctuation… a question mark is Punctual, you have to capitalise after that. And I wouldn’t challenge somebody like that in real life. I just say whatever makes the conversation go the fastest. I would say yeah and move on

I try to avoid using the same structural word on consecutive sentences. I would use “was like” if I had just used said.

I don’t usually say “my autism made me say”, and also again in real-life social situations with strangers I say whatever makes it go fastest… I don’t challenge people except subtly.

I don’t know what “various needs” means… the referring-to-self-as-we is a good touch

I don’t capitalise mahjong

Not a thing I say. Bitch

Does it really make you think…

You’ve got a good macro down re: tone and the kind of story I would tell, but you don’t have a good grasp on the kind of person I tend to be in real-life social interactions (which is fair as you have very little data), and it’s a little more… uptalky and generally. I know what the colour for the kind of tone you’ve put in the message is but I don’t know what the word for it is. There aren’t a lot of stops. I use a lot of random fullstops and ellipses and such.

all of mine are pretty bad besides the juror oke and I’ve been treating that seriously, I would hate chewing on paper the taste

Actually results is pretty bad, u and s are too far apart and clearly show this person does not type on phone; automatic f

If you are going to go through the effort of doing typo’d at least show dedication and attempt the typos on phone first before embarrassing urself in a class project and getting a f

sometimes short and concise is the best

ooo people judging their entries? time to give submitters comments


good entry, I’d definitely post that

great entry, definitely the top one, something id 100% post and cute image too

hiiiiiiiii tutuu! funny entry i like it :)

another good entry, i’ve considered it funnily enough, but i think the tastes would cancel out since both are good, I’d eat tomatoes raw no problem

made me laugh i like it, fitting since this is probably my biggest effort wall post and it’s for a silly misc game

this is both something i’d say and extremely meta. probably the best of the submissions but that particular bar is low.

bonus points for it describing a botc scenario that’s actually possible instead of just using buzzwords but the last part is excessive. making the lunatic the farmer is actually a townsided move and is fair game if good is losing lmfao i wouldn’t complain about that

i hate misses way more than crits. i think every showdown post i’ve made has indicated this. and as previously mentioned i only play random metas so “stupid meta picks” isn’t even something i can complain about. i also would never rank game mechanics this definitively i don’t think.

credit for being the only one to say “x is y father” but it seems kinda silly for me to immediately answer my own question. like why ask it in the first place then? why bring up the funny hypothetical scenario only to immediately point out the serious answer as to why it wouldn’t work? that’s not me

truncated because you get the point. i didn’t play botc until like… 4 to 5 months ago? we get it. this post is not helped by being the last in the sequence of an already overdone joke but i definitely don’t say “are they stupid?” this often, do i? surely i have other things to point out
