Title: Best Of PD
Post by: Cramulus on November 24, 2009, 04:48:59 PM
(http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb163/wompcabal/churchsign.jpg)

The idea, as it develops, is to build a better Discordian Society.

There are hundreds of pages of great content here at PD. There is enough knowledge here to jump start any newcomer Discordian into a full on double-Illuminati OMF Operative. There is energy which can electrify someone into new, radical kinds of action. This place is proof that a Discordian Society is a bit more tangible than some scrawlings in the margins of a 1959 funnybook. We have posters, pranks, activities, new ideas, old ideas with new paint, rants, sermons, parables, and a cracked out sense of humor you can only find in mental wards.

But one day, it's not gonna be here. One day, you and I are going to flounce from this community, leaving our legacies smoking behind us.

So we have to operationalize this knowledge. We have to distill and crystallize PD. We have to make an entry point, where the uninitiated can get all crazy hard for Eris and her children.



Where are you going with this, Cramulus?

In this thread, we will be posting our personal "best of" contributions to PD.

I want you to dig up the great stuff you've created and given to this community, and link to it here.

You can also nominate other people's work. If you've read a really great rant which made you stand up out of your chair and go RAH, please link to it here.


Eventually, we'll be taking these items and cross-posting them to a wiki, blog, putting then on flyers, or otherwise distributing them.

For this reason, it's best to link to individual posts. It's very difficult to crystallize an entire thread into an article. It can be done, but we haven't figured out how best to do it. (If you'd like, feel free to try your hand at this process, the more attempts we make, the better we'll get.)

All of my old stuff from here is at POEE, except sermon #10, which Hugh deleted before I had a place to back it up because, well, he could.

Any of that, plus anything here, is available for use, under the normal attribution rules.

If you want me to dig up my personal favorites and link them, I will, though I hate to pick from my own work.

Also:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celine%27s_laws

I think that belongs in any collection of Discordianism.

it's going to be a lot of work to compile this stuff... This function of this thread is to make it very easy to find these pieces and port them elsewhere. So it would be more useful if you could nominate a few of your pieces. Whoever eventually does the cross posting will probably be too lazy to search around the Internet and read a bunch of literature looking for the "best-of".

Cainad, you should use your blog to store these, too.

It's a good independent back-up, and might make them easier to find, if you need them quickly.

Now that 23ae is up and running again, I've been cross-posting material from my post, above.

I'm scheduled to post 1-2 articles per week, and I've got everything already filled in until early Feb 2010.  :mrgreen:


I encourage people to do the same. But first, make a "BEST OF" post ITT and link to a bunch of stuff you like.

When we were birthing the BIP concept, I remember taking long threads, and condensing the ideas into a page or two, or at least trimming out the thread drifts and asides.  I can't seem to easily find them now, however.

I might have them as Word files, in which case I will repost.

A few of those ended up over at the BIP wiki in the Literature section.  "Discussions, Questions, Threadjacks".  http://www.blackironprison.com/index.php?title=Literature

So I guess my best stuff is what's over at the wiki:
Finding Freedom While Suffocating (http://www.blackironprison.com/index.php?title=Finding_Freedom_While_Suffocating)
From the Depths (http://www.blackironprison.com/index.php?title=From_The_Depths_(and_other_stories)) a couple of these might be too topical and relevant to the time in which they were written.  But quite a few transcended that, I think.  

The Shrapnel stuff:
Paths and Shrapnel (http://www.blackironprison.com/index.php?title=Paths_and_Shrapnel)
The Shrapnel Project (http://www.blackironprison.com/index.php?title=The_Shrapnel_Project)

And POEE casts cept I can't seem to find where they are located now.  I imagine they're kicking around somewhere over at POEE.

Lets rate all the threads.

Yeah.

Taking a vacation from PD.  Later. <--- ETA:  If there is a later.  We're down to an average of 13 regular users at a time, from about 19-20.  So the obvious thing to do is keep fucking with people when they write threads that aren't up to our "standards", whatever those are, until they just leave.  Then we'll have a nice, clean, pure, empty board.

Oh, okay.  I thought it was the start of something ugly.

It's quite in fashion to shit on people for their threads these days.  Fucking everyone is doing it, including admins.

And we'll all be wondering why the board died.  We'll probably blame fluff...and never consider for a moment that we've created a hostile environment, and people can already get that at work.

Hey cram, would you mind if I rob (some) of this post, specifically your descriptions for the front-page.

please, be my guest!



and I would really appreciate it if we didn't turn this thread into a discussion. It's supposed to be an index of the best content on PD. If you want to express your love for this thread, please do it in the form of posting Best-Of links. Everything else is a form of shitting in an otherwise functional thread.
