Hello, and again, welcome to Cirno's Prototype Chat Mechanism. We hope your brief detention in the spam vault has been a pleasant one. Your specimens have been processed and we are now ready to begin the test proper. Before we start, however, keep in mind that although fun and learning are the primary goals of the chat mechanism activities, serious injuries may occur.
You are now in possession of the Aperture Cryogenics Thread Creation Device. With it, you can create your own threads. These series of posts have proven to be capable of providing high-quality entertainment. The ones presently in CPCM, however, do not. No one will blame you for giving up. In fact, quitting at this point is a perfectly reasonable response.
If you believe you can remain resolute and resourceful in an atmosphere of extreme pessimism, you and all test subjects are invited to nominate a single thread to undergo the experimental 'stickying' process, which has been developed to prolong the natural twenty-four hour lifespan of sufficiently deserving threads. This first day only, five threads will be stickied. On successive days, test subjects are requested to additionally specify their least favorite of the current sticky threads; one additional thread will be stickied, while two will be retired and sent to victory candescence. This will continue until only the highest quality thread remains.
In recognition of their achievements, the creator of this final thread will be awarded Idiot Deity status, which will allow them to carry out the 'stickying' process at their own discretion. We at Aperture Cryogenics hope this will encourage the responsible and productive use of the Aperture Cryogenics Thread Creation Device.
tl;dr:
- 'Days' will end at Midnight EDT (GMT-4) and begin as soon as nominations have been tallied and judgement executed.
- One nomination for a thread to sticky per person, per day.
- The thread will be cleaned out daily. Replies that aren't nominations will be deleted on sight. Please don't post them if you can avoid it.
- People who vote to unsticky the rules threads will not receive cake.
EDIT: Upon the recommendation of our Positive Thinking Advisor, you will now vote on which stickies should be kept, not which should be disposed of.
