Post making contest 6.0

Snart

What am I looking at

Stats for your interest (also possible recalibration if I messed up):

You've passed rule 3 29 times so far. You've passed rule 4 11 times so far. You've passed rule 5 5 times so far.

Oh, I meant to post lamenting Sruix's absence in this thread, not the easier one.

Well, we haven't made much progress in either, so I guess it's fine.

Passes none of the rules

Day two of puzzles: not going as good as day one.

On the positive side: we solved one of the least-solved puzzles of the new set.
On the negative: we haven't solved any others.

Passes rule 2

The Post Making Context is now lean and trim again, and hopefully the forum will be too!

Threads can creep a bit over 100 pages with no problem so in the event this thread bumps over that next time I can split things off the back end instead of the front?

Passes none of the rules

Behold! As I post, not just one post appears, but two!

Passes rule 2

your post isn't a ghost post? Dragon Fogel?? More like Foolgel?

Passes none of the rules

guys i just want to say i straight up have no idea how to solve one of these. any pointers?

Passes none of the rules

Well, usually what happens is we have no idea so we just post nonsense.

Then one of the pieces of nonsense passes a rule we have trouble passing and usually that's when it becomes a meme.

When we actually attempt to solve PMC rounds, usually what we do is look at posts that pass a particular rule and see if we can spot anything similar about them. If that doesn't work, we ask for hints.

Sometimes we just flat-out interrogate the host on Discord and get very heavy hints.

This post probably doesn't pass rule 4, I don't know, I haven't been paying that much attention this round.

Passes rule 1, and still not 2 (since rule 2 hasn't been passed in the interim)

NECROMANCY

Passes both rules 1 and 2! Good work.

----------------------------

At this current state, Rules 2 and 5 are not simultaneously satisfiable. (Although I suspect rules 3, 4, and 5 are all very difficult to attain at the current point.)

the post making contest will never die i will drag it from its grave

if we just make every concievable possible post we will pass eventually

POST NUMBER 1

I read the Walking Dead Vol 1 yesterday and it made me suspect that the author of that particular comic would actually prefer a world in which zombies happened because fuck milennials and their safe spaces amirite?

Sorry, Ix, I didn't catch that. What'd you say?

Well that's weird. There were two posts, made hours ago, but when I clicked on Last Post it brought me to the first post of the thread?

Or did I click on the thread title accidentally? I'm not very awake yet so I guess that's possible.

No, I went back in my browser and Last Post was highlighted. Clicked it again and it went back to my post.

What is going on with this thread.

POST NUMBER 2

i'm very disappointed the pokemon direct wasn't an announcement that they're finally making the eeveelutions they know we all crave
