Questions
Who is Pooduck?
This is:
Who is Fluffy the Purple Unicorn?
Well, if you don't know the answer to that one, there is no hope for you, ever. Really. Don't ever ask that again. Every time you do, a small gnome dies.
<-- See? This one
went blue and choked just because you asked. Shame on you. Really.
Is there a ratings system for stories here?
Not exactly, at least, not in the way you may be used to. There's no "starring" stories here. Basically, if you like a story or thread, give it a kudo and a comment. If you don't, then don't. Or comment and don't give a kudo. Or whatever. You may decide you only want to give kudos to the stories you think are "the best" or you may like to give one out to everyone just for trying. Completely up to you. After all, writing's not a competition--at least, not against other writers.
What do these titles mean--you know, like Virgin Sacrifice, Downtrodden Nerfherder and Persephone's Plaything? Why do some people have another title?
These are automatic titles based on the number of posts you've made here and changes the more posts you've made. This is not an invitation to spam the board, by the way: we have set a limit on the number of posts newbies can make per day to avoid that. The second title (in purple for Admins) is a custom title handed out to Admins, Moderators and regulars.
How do I get to be a moderator? How do I get my own custom title?
Well, you know what they say. Don't call us, we'll call you.
You keep saying "donkey cap", as in, "don't be one." What on earth does that mean?
Aah, grasshopper, I am sure if ye think about it, thou shalt understand. For we have one Admin from the US of A and one from Australia, and we do not spell alike, yea, neither do we pronounce words the same way. So I shall say, verily unto thee, think thou carefully and thou shalt realise that another word for donkey in the US in fact, only ever means "donkey" in Australia. And another word for cap is...
What's "Caber Time"?
Whenever it happens. If, on Caber Time, you say you'll have another chapter up tomorrow, you may mean tomorrow. Or you may mean 23 January, 2034.
Which is "that bloody Scottish film that shall not be named"?
You have to be kidding me.
Oh, all right then. Think Mel Gibson, some stupid blue face paint, a completely bogus "freedom" speech and the complete inability to get even one farking detail even close to possibly half correct. Then don't even consider calling it by name. I let one person get away with it, and that almost killed me. Sheesh.
Where do I post WCIF for Sims 2 Content?
Post them in the General Games Discussion board--The Dork Den. Having said that, this is not a Sims 2 Fan Board, but a social and writers board that has a section for Sims 2-style stories, so please keep WCIF's to a minimum, and only post one if it's in a story here and you haven't been able to find it in a complete search of the sites linked below. This really isn't the place for it. You'll find help and tutorials on making CC or with technical issues regarding the game at MTS2 and Insim, at the official site, or on the Wiki (all linked below).
If you are looking for custom content, check Mod The Sims 2, Sexy Sims 2 (if you are 18 or over), Parsimonious , or The Sims2 Wiki. Use their search functions. That's what they're there for.
Insimenator has been burned. Try TwoJeff's Blender instead.
Inteenimator is found here.
Paysites Must Be Destroyed is here and the Phorum is here. <-- Any discussion re paysites can go on there, please. Been there, rehashed that. Got the long-term opinion to prove it.
The Booty is here.
The Graveyard is here.
The Exchange (official TS2 site) is here.
Discuss the game, by all means, like any other game, but any q's already answered here will be ignored or deleted, and you'll be bunny-fried because it just proves you didn't RTFM before posting.
Should I use British (favourite, colour, realise) or US (favorite, color, realize) spelling here?
Whatever, whichever. You'll see both here, and anyone who gets pedantic about the difference can just get over it.
Any uses of "disorientated" will see you strung up on the closest available yardarm, though, and edited, by Beth, in large red letters. "Disorientated" is not a word. Stop it.
What's a Tim Tam?
