Title: Hopelessly Optimistic Advice for New People Who Won't Listen.
Post by: Payne on September 17, 2009, 08:57:21 PM
Quote from: Cain on September 17, 2009, 06:53:46 PM
I like the WOMP idea.  I'd leave the Intro and Attention Noobs thread stickied though.  I notice a lot of people do read the latter, often when they sign right up, so it seems to be doing the job.

Unless someone wants to write a new, spiffy, updated for 2009 advice for noobs?

So... You did it, you finally did it you crazy bastard. You signed up to PD.com. Your life as you knew it is over. You will never be able to go to other forums without being called a troll (or feeling restricted so much by them that you actually just start trolling them anyway). Here are a few pointers to ease your way into our little community.

I have divided them into neat little sections like a Real Person. I hope you appreciate my effort.

The Essentials:

(http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb163/wompcabal/ShockedReading.jpg)

-Right, first off, you are going to be called n00b, assface, prison bitch, prolapse-in-waiting or whatever else the fuck we want to call you. You can get pissy about it if you want, but the smart ones seem to go for calling us humorous names in return (the operative word being humorous).

- If you haven't already signed up, and are just lurking, then don't choose a retarded name. We've heard all the Discordian old standards already. You might make it if you call yourself "Emperor Norton Fnord Whiskey Sniffer" or some shit, but we'll still call you whatever we want and our perceptions of you will be somewhat tainted by your lack of originality.

-Which leads us to point two: Leave the pinealism at the door, unless you really DO have something new to share. We really have heard of the PD already, and that guy R.A.W. (He died, you know? Oh, you know already?)

-You know what, leave all the Dada, surrealist crap at the door too. Some of us really dig that shit, hell most of us do. The first time we see the shtick performed anyway.

-Sometimes, you will encounter aggravation of various forms. This is life, if you haven't learned to deal with it yet, then you shouldn't complain to us, you should complain to your parents or guardians for raising you so poorly. The best response is to act like a damn biped. On a related note, there is a custom among some of us to give you all some kind of leeway for the first 50 posts or so, to give you a chance to find your feet. This, it must be stressed, is NOT a rule and is not a license to be a douchebag. It's a guideline and anyone can break it if they want to for any or no reason.

-You have a right to say whatever retarded shit you want. You can't feel precious about that, because we have the right to be completely assholish back.

-Sometimes you may say something that we flame the fuck out of you for, but you wont know why. It's because you've unlocked one of the secret prizes! We have a lot of shorthand references to old jokes/trolls etc. It's nothing personal, we just like to keep these little land mines around. Usually, a bit of forum searching and research will reveal what it is we are responding to.

-Be yourself. I cannot stress this enough. Weird posting styles (all in rhyme, all in bold, replacing 'I' with 'J') are all well and good, but come across as completely retarded. You don't need to impress us, seriously.

-You may never find out what some of the acronyms stand for. PROTIP: There isn't a dictionary telling you what they stand for.

-Lastly, for all the idealism, we ARE still monkeys. We like to throw the poop too. This is after all a community of people, and communities are funny that way.

The "Rules":

(http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb163/wompcabal/avatar/tea-time-womp.jpg)

-The only rules here are

   -Don't do anything that will get the owners into legal trouble. If you don't know what this means, find out.
   -All pornographic material must be linked and marked NSFW (Not Safe For Work). We don't want                                                                                                                                                someone fired for some bullshit, do we?
       -Outting ongoing troll activities.

There are a few other etiquette based things that you should just know anyway (spamming, thieving peoples work etc.) depending on circumstance you wont be banned for this, but it will go very badly for you.

The Good Shit:

(http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb163/wompcabal/jumpingforjoy.jpg)

We have a lot of different projects and ideas flowing around. Some are dead for the moment, some are live'n'kicking, but it doesn't matter. If you have something to bring to it then have at it. We have some good shit around (The Black Iron Prison, Intermittens and the GASM projects to name a few). We appreciate originality and humour. If you can bring some intelligence, wit and skill to the mix you're sorted. Think for yourself, schmuck!

Thoughts, edits etc. appreciated.

Some additional thoughts:

1.  Yes, we know there's a planet called Eris.  Kindly shut up about it.

2.  Don't PM the fucking management.  Last time that happened, Bush got reelected.

3.  Pinealism, mentioned above:  Quoting the principia discordia, telling people to "consult their pineal gland", and word salad.  Posting gibberish pretty much guarantees that nobody will ever listen to a word you say, ever.

4.  Certain users will hate you no matter what you do.  I am one of them.  Take it personally if you must, it won't change anything but the number of ulcers you have.

5.  The stiffy joke:  Don't tell it unless there's actually a dead person present.  Not kidding about this.  You won't get banned, but you'll get some interesting PMs.

6.  Chaos:  Chaos contains both order and disorder.  There is also no difference between "creative" and "destructive" chaos.  There is only chaos.  If you can't handle that idea, if you can't laugh at horrible shit that decent people won't even bring up, then this isn't the religion for you.  Perhaps you could join the moonies.

7.  Chaos Magick (alt Kaos Mahdgjickque or whatever fucking spelling you think adds credibility):  Go ahead.  We'll make fun of you mercilessly, but go ahead.

8.  Busting out other peoples' trolls at other boards:  This will get you banned, per ECH (with the full agreement, I believe, of the rest of the mods).  Payne neglected to spell that out in detail, because he's a horrid haggis-sucking Scotsman that likes to see Yanks suffer.  But don't we all?

9.  By registering, you have become Fred's bitch.  Sorry, it's the rules.  She's a kindly mistress, though, and even lets people keep their toes sometimes.

10.  Post pics.  Post them soon, and make sure to have a dorky fucking look on your face.  You're not really a member until you've been WOMPed.

More later.  I have to shit, now.

Oh, yes.  If you're here to teach us all how to be Discordians, just save yourself some grief and just open a post saying "I'd like you all to shit in my gaping pie hole".

Now, off to poop.

Welcome to the Principia Discordia forums.
It's hard to say much about this place because it contains both some of the brilliant and most foul minds of all Discordia.

We are a Discordian Society. Not THE Discordian Society!

If you stick around for long enough, you'll form an opinion of this board. This opinion varies based on what parts of the board you engage in. I'm talking about specifically what what vibes and energies you deal with. If you come in and tell everybody that they're doing it wrong, or that they should be acting differently, they're going to push back. But if you come in with creativity, flexibility, and humor, you'll generally have a good time.

If you find yourself having a bad time, it's a good idea to take a break, lurk the board some more, and find a new angle. If you post hostility, people will reciprocate it.

This board has been around for a long time. So there's certain behaviors we've seen over and over again. Here are a few notes that will keep you avoid falling into the turd cycle:



The best thing about this board, in my opinion, is that it's action oriented. This isn't a board where everybody just talks about big plans and never does them. There are lots of projects, pranks, and other shenanigans you can actually participate in. We've found that this board becomes extremely fun when everybody is doing each other's projects. This type of organization and action makes PD something more than just an internet forum.

We have a presence in many cities. We meet up in real life. People have flown all over the world to meet other Discordians they met via PD. I've made posters that people in over 10 countries have distributed. If there actually is a global Discordian society, this is one of them. This forum kicks ass in that way.

OMGASM, Intermittens, the Black Iron Prison, and many other big fun projects all grew out of this fertile soil. I've been to the edge of the internet, and I've never seen a meeting of minds anything like it. It also sucks balls sometimes, but hey, that's the human condition.

9 and 10 are my favourite rules, Fred is a benevolent Dictator, and you are no one till you been WOMPed.

What I has Learned At PD
using the "I'm so shocking look at meeeeee" card is annoying, you will get called on it.

Wut payne said about being really real and YOU is important. Unless your an Alt.  I got a pretty smooth run as a n00b once I figured that whining around here will get you no sympathy, and everyone is pretty much cool. I learned quick, no lurking for me!

DO NOT TREAT STUFF AS SOCIAL EXPERIMENTZ. Fictionpuss gets shit about that one still. (Fuck you, FP!)

You can survive a discordian meat-up as a n00b. I did. Barely.

NOW LOOK AT ME! :shakes fist at Payne:

1. If you flip anyone here shit, you will probably get it back forever, with interest. If you fuck up or humiliate yourself in a particularly obnoxious way, it helps to have a sense of humor about it because the more you have a stick up your ass about something that wounded your pride, the more people will enjoy bringing it up again and again.

2. I know everyone has an opinion on pinealists, but I just have one last two-cent piece to throw in:

http://www.principiadiscordia.com/forum/index.php?topic=18994.0

If you were thinking of impressing upon us how wacky, out-there, and virtually incomprehensible you are by virtue of how you are a beautiful and unique snowflake with a genius verging on madness, I'd like you to read that entire thread. Note that hirley0 is not trying. That is simply how he communicates, and has for at least the last 15 years. You can't outdo him. Please spare us all the embarrassment, and don't even go there.

I have never and will never harrass Hirley0, for two reasons:

1.  That's just him.

2.  He keeps it in one or two threads.

hirley0 is good people. He used to run for school superintendent regularly, but sadly, was never elected. He also once posted a detailed ASCII diagram and instructions for making stirrup pants, only he called them "St1r-UF" pants. That was... OMG, I think 17 years ago.

I dunno, the tone kind irks me.  I thought Roger's tone on the other one was much more useful.  If you try too hard to tell someone to not do something, then the only result you're going to get is an opposite reaction ("they can't tell me what to do!").  I think just calmly explaining a few of this board particular quirks and general ethos would work better.

I hate to be the bitch who says this because everyone wets their pants over Brennschluss, but no. He works in a certain mood and style, but he is not the best prose writer on this forum and I would be hesitant to identify anyone here, with all their disparate styles, as the "best". And aren't you basically telling noobs not to even try to write prose because they won't be as good as Sepia? No. No. No.

THIS.  Sepia is one hell of a writer, but that simply means he is the standard to exceed.  I can't, but I keep trying, which if nothing else improves my writing.

You are as good a writer as Sepia/Brennschluss, in my opinion. Your style and voice are radically different, which is a good thing. It would be a crying shame if everyone (or anyone) here tried to change their voice to sound like Sepia, because then there would be too damn much of that and it wouldn't be unique and interesting anymore.

And, frankly, it's a difficult style to read, so to pull it off you have to be damn good at it and what you're trying to convey has to work with it.

Yeah, and it all ends with "indescribable horror".  HP Lovecraft was about as good at ending a story as RAW was...which is to say, he sucked at it.

Yes, it is a difficult read, but it's a style I happen to enjoy.  Imagine HP Lovecraft, if Lovecraft actually had something to say.

Lovecraft had plenty to say to readers of pulp fiction. Good writing is all about context.

Yeah, and it all ends with "indescribable horror".  HP Lovecraft was about as good at ending a story as RAW was...which is to say, he sucked at it.

I think thats a valid critique of some of his stuff, but Lovecraft wrote a huge number of stories and most of them have fine endings.

Oh and brennschluss a.k.a. sepia tops the standard for prose, IMO.

I hate to be the bitch who says this because everyone wets their pants over Brennschluss, but no. He works in a certain mood and style, but he is not the best prose writer on this forum and I would be hesitant to identify anyone here, with all their disparate styles, as the "best". And aren't you basically telling noobs not to even try to write prose because they won't be as good as Sepia? No. No. No.

THIS.  Sepia is one hell of a writer, but that simply means he is the standard to exceed.  I can't, but I keep trying, which if nothing else improves my writing.

To be clear i didn't want to go and begin to compare writing styles...I happen to really enjoy his style ... so for clarity , Nigel, the i'll fix it....fixed.  I find his writing style enjoyable and i look forward to his material ... i also feel the same way about other posters here, Roger being another.  I'm not advocating that noobs should not write prose...but moreso wanted to point them in the direction of someone who I feel does do that quite well.  PD has a great assortment of people who are great writers and artists and...[insert list from first page]. My main thing with my post was to point out the difference between randomness for the sake of randomness and to use an example of someone who posts in an alternative way that works well.  :)

Noobs: A note on capitalist scallywags:

If you have come here to market your magic beans, repackaged RAW, or to try and sell PD a T-Shirt (that has not been designed by PD), or to attempt to entice the Discordian collective into parting with some $$'s.

FORGET IT.

There are several reasons why you should forget it, these being:

The denizens of PD.com are shit broke 99% of the time. Buying giant inflatable penis's, golden wellingtons and hand stitched cashmere mittens does not come cheap. You think we'll have any money left over for your shit?

Most people here are accomplished pirates. Payne himself has just returned from a tour of duty selling CDR's off the coast of Somalia. At least I think that's what he was doing. . .

We'd rather steal your stuff than pay for it. Fact.

No one here wants to buy into your philosophy, as they all have their individually hand crafted organically home grown ones. That tastes better than the store bought stuff too.

Well said.

Welcome to the Principia Discordia forums.

It's hard to say much about this place because it contains both some of the brilliant and moust foul minds of all Discordia. We are a Discordian Society. Not THE Discordian Society!

If you stick around for long enough, you'll form an opinion of this board. This opinion varies based on what parts of the board you engage in. I'm talking about specifically what what vibes and energies you deal with. If you come in and tell everybody that they're doing it wrong, or that they should be acting differently, they're going to push back. But if you come in with creativity, flexibility, and humor, you'll generally have a good time.

If you find yourself having a bad time, it's a good idea to take a break, lurk the board some more, and find a new angle. If you post hostility, people will reciprocate it.

This board has been around for a long time. So there's certain behaviors we've seen over and over again. Here are a few notes that will keep you avoid falling into the turd cycle:

  • There are certain things which have already been discussed to death. Use the search function.

  • People here are very straight forward. If you post something people don't like, they will be very honest about it. Honest feedback is necessary for the creative process. Art, writing, ideas, meme bombs, mindfucks, all these things need to be discussed until they're polished kallisti gold. Sometimes this seems harsh. But it's necessary to keep the fluff down.

  • Behaviors exhibited by a few individuals are not necessarily shared by the whole group of us. You may conclude that some of us are shitheads. This is fine. But as soon as you say "This board is full of shitheads!" you've lumped in a lot of innocent bystanders.

  • The internet isn't really serious buisness. All of us are just words on a screen until you decide we're something more. We're as real as you let us be.


The best thing about this board, in my opinion, is that it's action oriented. This isn't a board where everybody just talks about big plans and never does them. There are lots of projects, pranks, and other shenanigans you can actually participate in. We've found that this board becomes extremely fun when everybody is doing each other's projects. This type of organization and action makes PD something more than just an internet forum.

We have a presence in many cities. We meet up in real life. People have flown all over the world to meet other Discordians they met via PD. I've made posters that people in over 10 countries have distributed. If there actually is a global Discordian society, this is one of them. This forum kicks ass in that way.

OMGASM, Intermittens, the Black Iron Prison, and many other big fun projects all grew out of this fertile soil. I've been to the edge of the internet, and I've never seen a meeting of minds anything like it. It also sucks balls sometimes, but hey, that's the human condition.

From the thread "Missions, Goals, Objectives" (http://www.principiadiscordia.com/forum/index.php?topic=20248.0)

Quote from: East Coast Hustle on March 28, 2009, 11:57:42 PM
When I took this place over, the idea was that PD.com would be the place where we could "organize" (I use the term loosely) and bend our collective will towards collaborative projects both online and IRL. People who wanted to do nothing but chat idly and talk about what they just ate/listened to/stuck up their ass could do that at EB&G.

That's not to mean that nobody should ever engage in idle chatter at PD.com (obviously) but the idle chatter seems to have attained a kudzu-like quality. If people are uncomfortable with the idea of discordians organizing and getting "serious", they're free to go elsewhere. EB&G would be my first suggestion. They're also free to stay and make meaningful contributions or not, but I will react harshly to anyone who suggests that PD.com should not be the type of forum where we have some larger "big picture" goals and objectives.

I interpreted ECH as expressing a preference, but saying that essentially any form of participation was "valid" - he said that he would react harshly to people trying to make it only about one thing. Isn't that the point of a community - that it requires different forms of input and feedback loops to thrive?

So.

I have sent an unsolicited email to the moderator. (You know who you are.)

--Whew!--

I am going to write a post about what I, as a noob, gathered about the "discordian attitudeTM". If you don't like me, flame me. (Negative attention is attention too. And I LOVE IT!)
If I would be allowed to stay on this forum:
•   I wouldn't think all that much about what people say about me. I wouldn't look to others for answers. I wouldn't waste my time advising Her on how to do it. (She knows. She lies.)
•   I would pick the kind of friends who can see through the facade.
•   I wouldn't chase distant horizons. Even if I see Leprechaun gold placed there.
•   I would give up all thoughts about getting even. Even when She hurts me. Especially when She hurts me.  Because She would want me to get involved by meditating revenge against "them" and stay in "their" loop forever. (The labyrinth!The labyrinth!)
•   I wouldn't dream of watching a televised love saga or something equally stupid on TV that would stifle my imagination.
•   I wouldn't think about respect and how no one is giving me any. I wouldn't try to acquire more money.
•   I wouldn't forgive a man his iniquities just because he says that he "loves" me. Or that he is really handsome and can move his lips to resemble a "smile". Or has wonderful canines set in his jaw.
•   I wouldn't lie to protect the rich. I wouldn't sneer at the uneducated. Education is just Her way of confounding men and women. The uneducated are better off by far.
•   I wouldn't mind being called an animal. I wouldn't mind being called a wanton whore or a sly fox or a broad. Labels hold you down. Misrepresentation sets you free.
•   Curiosity "kills" the cat. Kapische? (Now what was that about the 'roos?)
•   I wouldn't slobber over or steal interesting remarks made by complete strangers, who may sound good, but, then again, are people I know nothing about.

Can I please, please, please, join your forum?

The fact is, muggers are great, when compared to bankers.  Muggers only take what's in your wallet, bankers the entire economy!  In the grand scheme of things, looking down on muggers is like worrying about gnats when you're covered in leeches.  Leeches who have been bred with rattlesnakes.

The defence rests its case.

Quote from: Cain on December 12, 2009, 12:02:07 PM
Well, if you want to start a thread, say in Principia Discussion, about some of the concepts you are still not sure of, then a few people will probably pitch in and give you their thoughts on them.

Cain:   Really helpful, when he isn't being a shill for muggers.

The fact is, muggers are great, when compared to bankers.  Muggers only take what's in your wallet, bankers the entire economy!  In the grand scheme of things, looking down on muggers is like worrying about gnats when you're covered in leeches.  Leeches who have been bred with rattlesnakes.

The defence rests its case.

I never said it was a BAD thing.

QuoteAre you still a "left-handed pagan", or have the drugs worn off?
It was basically "LaVey's a con artist so who else is there?" Coughlin wrote some interesting essays (and a good bit on chaos), but I'd have to say no.

Quotemore to the point...are you still a philosophy student or have the drugs worn off?
For philosophy, I'll let you know if the drugs have worn off if the floating colors will quiet down enough for me to think...

I can't help noticing you have chosen "fields" that don't involve any actual skills/skill generation/income.

Why is that?  I'm not criticizing you, I'm honestly curious.

It saddens me that I have to say this, but...
if you are depressed, lonely, or mentally unstable, you should probably keep a lid on it. While there are some sympathetic ears out there, others will assume it is a lie or attention gambit. This community is not exactly known for its sensitivity. In fact, expect beatings.

this is not the best place to reach out for help. if you're new to the board, and you mention that you're suicidally depressed, there's a high chance it'll be interpreted as attention whoring and somebody's going to flame you about it. Just warning you in advance.

Am I the only person on Earth who isn't currently on meds or "diagnosed" with some sort of "manic depressive bi-polar schizophrenia multiple personality chronic dick wanking hand in the sausage grinder" disorder???

Well. Now that that's out of my system I'll just continue to use my scroll wheel.

That is all.

I have problem but I don't usually talk about it because I don't believe that spagging this place up with my issues really contributes anything.  Unless it's the subject at hand, in which case I'll apparently offend a lot of people or something.

He is pure evil.

I sawhelped this man snatch a lolly from a baby, and then when it started crying he twisted it's head till the neck snapped like a pretzel rod.fed it "boy's milk, from his own nipples, until it went off to sleep!

He is pure evil. Mary Poppins.

...are you sure the milk was from his nipples?

I'm assuming so, but I can't be sure as I was trying not to look. I always feel kind of uncomfortable when Babies are being breastfed. By Men.

Wait.  You take a comment that predates our PM argument, and then act like I'm stalking you?  Fuck off, Neri.  Just fucking get cancer and die, you dishonest piece of shit.

I found the PD about a year and a half ago through a long chain of increasingly individualistic ideologies. (Left-Hand Paganism was the big one, then I ended up thinking about it, reading into Discordianism again a couple months ago, and here I am.)

If the Motorcycle you are riding, reveals itself to be incorrect, then the best option is to dismount immediately. The later you leave it, the moar it's going to hurt. It's no good just pressing on onwards towards your destination, and hoping nobody will notice. They will. And they will notice that you noticed too If you arrived here with any credibilty, be prepared to it all. The correct Motorcyle can only be foind by lurking around thre forum, and paying attention. And even then, it's not a guaranteed thing. Good luck.

PM Nigel and tell her you're ready for your quest.

It's the only way to be safe.

Do you really think no-one knew who you were? If the answer is anything other than,

"I am such a wankstick! Even the Discordians are only humouring me"

Then jab your own finger, in your left eye. Repeat until either Death occurs, or eye falls out. If the latter happens first, then repeat excercise with right eye. Then fuck off.  :fap:

It's sad when you think of how much time he wasted doing that.

By my count it was about 4 hours.

Advice for n00bs:

It saddens me that I have to say this, but...
if you are depressed, lonely, or mentally unstable, you should probably not try to be passive agressive, brag about it, or automatically expect sympathy.

Fixed.  The people on this board who are depressed or mentally unstable do talk about it, but in ways other than that of an attention whore.

And hell, we're all lonely.

Hell, I'm not lonely.  I want to be like the borg, only I want to just be me. 

That's what pisses me off about Voyager.  They got flung to the far side of the galaxy from the primates, and what do they do?  TRY TO COME BACK.  Jesus fuck.  I'm so alone.

BUT NOT LONELY.

Kind of this.
Also, isn't "loneliness" essentially a euphemism for "I want to get laid and go to sleep curled up to Dat Ass?"
I mean, if you aren't after the D/P, being by yourself is pretty painless and actually kind of awesome.
