The Aftermath Games!

[Peterson Silva]

Does anyone know other discordian forums and/or "places to interact with discordians" in other languages, such as italian, french, german, spanish, russian ones?

[Cramulus]

not sure about other languages, but I've compiled a list of Discordian websites and communities here:

Hello! I'm back!

Meanwhile I've created a blog about #aftermath. It's in portuguese, but you can access it here:

http://jogos.deliriocoletivo.org/

In this particular post we're organising ideas for categories and etc:

http://jogos.deliriocoletivo.org/2009/08/16/olimpiadas-de-pos-matematica-quando-o-que-cuma/

I'm going to translate the ideas so far, and if you have anything to say just post it here and I will translate there =) Orr, if you want to, you can comment directly there.

The date:

Starting at Aftermath 1st and ending at Aftermath 50th

Basic System of Competition:

1) Mindfuck is done and documented using Photos or Videos - except in specific cases listed below.
2) The blog is notified about the mf with links to its content in Youtube, vimeo, flickr, picasa, whatever.
3) A post is created about it and
4) The winner in a category is that one which causes enough impact to win by unanimity.

Categories:

Classic Mindfuck - plain simple uncategorized mindfuck
Auto-Mindfuck (or should I say Self-Mindfuck?)
Artistic Mindfuck - involving art in some way
Politics Mindfuck - involving politics
Religious Mindfuck - about mainstream religions
Unreligious Mindfuck - about underground religions, like ours! =)
Cacophony Mindfuck - a cacophony gathering
Psychogeography Mindfuck - a story about a "psyhogeographistic" - definition of psychogeography: the art of getting lost in a city or urban area by wandering around & trying to find out new places, choosing which way to go based on intuition and feelings.
Happy Something Day - Invent something unusual to celebrate on a day and celebrate it.

These categories are special ones because have specific criteria to determine the winner:

Hoaxes - (idea inspired by this PDforum thread, btw) create and disseminate a hoax. The most famous wins (and yes, there is already talks about this being an exception; we could make this collaborative and create a crossing-borders hoax)
Sink - The biggest thing to be sinked
23 #1 - The biggest quantity of 23's in a single photo.
23 #x - The largest collection of photos including the number 23
Puns - the biggest quantity of 'newish' puns
Sign In the Petition! - Try and convince people (not by the internet, however! Real signatures!) to sign in agreeing on something absurd. The winner is the one who has more signatures.

Any other idea? Any idea to further improve those? =)

[Triple Zero]

Ha! I really like those ideas! Nice work

[The Johnny]

i dont think theres a chance on competing with

http://www.principiadiscordia.com/forum/index.php?topic=12170.0

on the pun category.

¿perhaps start some sort of "Guinness Mook of Records" for special cases like these?

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Poor bastard has yet to discover that people who spend a lot of time on the internet are unwilling to make a lot of irl effort.

It's quite sad that you think like that...

It's quite sad that it's the truth. 

If it's true for budgie of honor, it's true for EVERYONE.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

I think this is a great idea, pinealism notwithstanding.

[dudektria]

This is not a Portugese message board.

And it's "portuguese", not "portugese" , just FYI

Actually it's Portuguese.

Sorry, my fault

[dudektria]

We've created a weird notalwaysworking twitter bot in order to monopolize the #aftermath tag on Twitter (yeah, we're quite mad :P). Come on check it here: http://twitter.com/aftermathbot

So, if you tweet the #aftermath tag, you're gonna be retweeted (and maybe your soul will be lost forever, that's a possibility).

That ship sailed a long time ago.  I live in Maine afterall.

Hey, if you're a discordian in Dutchspaglandistan (Holland), you should get in touch with Triple Zero, especially if you know 40 others.

Trip was talking about this when he visited Edinburgh last month, saying he wishes there was more of a viable network in Europe, especially Holland.

I think she got here from following my tweet about http://bit.ly/discolympics

As for an anthem, I dunno, the Wilhelmus is maybe a bit boring, I think we should pick http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuZ59CUBkwY because it shows our wonderful Dutch values, and the power of our RAGE which helps for running the fear into those Americans!

Our colour will be orange, though. Like the carrots. It is already associated with the Netherlands and it is also one of my favourite colours.
