Does anyone on here have a DeviantArt account? If so, what is it? Mine is http://jenu1.deviantart.com

As a side note, is anyone on here a fan of anime/manga? If so, which ones and why?

1 King
2 Lords
1 Prankster
X Townspeople

Everyone knows who the King is and who the Lords are from the beginning. No one knows who the Prankster is.

In order for the King to win, he must find and hang the Prankster in seven days (seven rounds) of the game. In order for the Prankster to win, he must have 3 free Minions to help him escape town forever, taking the oppressed townspeople with him.

Each round, the King threatens to imprison one of the citizens unless they produce the Prankster to be hanged. The citizens, not knowing who the Prankster is, have to vote amongst themselves on who they think the Prankster is, so that person will be imprisoned and sentenced to hang. (If they imprison another citizen, that person will be out for two rounds, unable to speak or vote in the thread until he is proven innocent and released.) After the citizens have voted and the person is imprisoned, the Lords then PM the King as to who they think the Prankster is. The King then decides which of those choices he thinks is best, and PMs me as to which person will be hanged. Then the Prankster PMs me as to who he wants to try to make a Minion (like in the Spider game converting Discordians.) The thing is, if the Prankster is hanged before the seven rounds are up, and he has a Minion who is not imprisoned, that person then becomes the Prankster and the game continues until the seven rounds are up. Once it has been decided whether or not the new person will convert to being a Minion (not sure how that's decided) the new round begins.

The idea is that instead of one thing killing everyone off, there's only one person who's going to die if the bad guy wins, namely, the Prankster. But if that were to happen, the Citizens become obsolete. I'm still trying to figure out how only one person can die and yet still have the Citizens involved in every round. Also, I don't know how it would be decided if someone becomes a Minion, and I also don't know what would happen if the seven rounds ended and there was a tie.

Any thoughts, critiques, ideas, whatever are totally welcome.

I want to see IRL lips like this guy -->

I want someone to make it so that bug in the newsfeed is squishable

I want to quit losing track of my cursor when I follow that other one in the newsfeed around.

Firstly, I know Pastafarianism exists. Outside of that, I know very little about it. However, what I'm wondering is, how do they relate to Discordians? Are there Discordians who are also Pastafarians? Are they like best-buddy religions but without any cross-over between the two? Are they archenemies of each other? Do we just not care about them or they about us? Did one come from the other or is there influence in either direction?

Secondly, what is the connection between Discordianism and The Church of the SubGenius? I've never quite figured that out.

So, as you may or may not know, I am a writer and a story-teller and a poet. I fully intend to make a living this way, and it is absolutely my love. That being said, I'm always up for critique and comments, anything to help my writing get better anyway. And I notice a lot of people on here are writers as well. Or writer-wanna-bes. Or somewhere in between. And you all love flaming. XD So, here's my latest poem, have at it!

Take your scalpel to my heart.
Peel away the fictitious layers,
Until you find out the truth
Of how the universe destroyed me.



This is a story.
I was swallowed by a lion as a young child
He told me that freedom wasn't everything
That pain and love are important too.
I felt the earth beneath his paws
And saw the stars through his eyes.
And I loved the earth.

With a flip of your scalpel you pull that layer away
Placing it gently in the tray for future analysis.



This is a story.
I carried the forest gently in my hand
Over an age of destruction
Where all the world was desert and smoke.
So when the dust settled down and
The fire ants were gone, I allowed
A single, precious seed to drop to the earth
And the forest began anew.

You cut deeper still
Determined to find the truth in the shadows behind my heart



This is a story.
I created a universe from spools of thread
Stringing a mobile of stars
I hung it from the fingers of a god.
I kissed his lips in my dream, and fled
To a barren world of safety.

You pierce through one more layer
Shaking your head at the audacity
Of the stories I tell.



This is a story.
I destroyed the stars
Pulled one into the other until I created
A domino chain of supernovas.
I created the brightest dawn in the universe
But the night thereafter was without hope
And the universe existed in terror of itself.

Take that layer away and my heart
Is growing thinner. Corners and shadows
Disappear underneath your doctor-light.
And stories can't cover the truth anymore.



This is a truth
When my heart was gone, and there was nothing left
In the universe but fables of existence,
What was in the shadows the entire time
Was a black hole where the devil lived
And swallowed you inside, and no one
Could hear your demon screams, gnashing teeth.
Space was only a silent echo to my last
Death cry. And there I imploded
Crushing myself into the emptiness.
And the universe began anew
Without me.

And I don't want to hear any of you poor souls come whining to me that I traumatized even your desensitized/nonexistent souls for the rest of your life.

Because I didn't make you click the link.

EDIT: Can cause seizures. If you're prone to that.

First introduction to Discordianism was through Wiki, and although it and PD itself were rather clear on some things, the Chaos Theory was not one of them.

What I've figured out is that chaos is pure potential. It somehow lies "underneath" the grid that makes up regular organized religion. Chaos is not disorder, or rather, disorder is a part of chaos but order is a part of chaos as well. And creation and destruction are also part of chaos. Given that chaos now has no known boundaries, what exactly IS chaos? How does it define life/physics/philosophy? Also, what role does Eris play as Goddess of Discordianism? And do you all have any different views of what the Chaos theory is?
