An Expert's Extensive Guide On Onions And What To Do With Them


 Share

Recommended Posts

I believe this trilogy is invalid because this particular article is written by an AWCer and not by the newspaper. How dare you! 

 

Also, I wanted to ask, O Mr. Onion King, are onions usable in warfare against tanks?  Or as balls in cricket?

 

On a more serious note, that got me thinking.... are violent stories even allowed by the Tankilaw in the AWC? 

Yes, it is usable as balls in cricket. As for warfare against tanks, well, no.

 

Nope, they are not allowed. I remember catching BrownPebble hiding an old newspaper story called 'Hallucinations'. When I asked him about it, he justified it by saying that it was a very violent story, which it was.

Trust me, the story was one of the best I've read till date, but believe me, I can't tell you how horrific the theme was, could definitely take the sleep out of a not-so-mentally-fit-fellow (that's plentiful on the internet) for a couple of days

On a more serious note, that got me thinking.... are violent stories even allowed by the Tankilaw in the AWC?

First of all, that's a question better for answering in the FAQ section. But let me explain a bit: It does say this:

 


"2.3.17. Publication of information that causes fear, horror or panic in children, including  descriptions of death, diseases, suicide, accidents, emergencies or disasters and (or) their consequences, other information that may damage health or development of minors"


 

There's a few things to think about here: First of all, we're assuming that the violence would have to be graphic enough to actually mentally scar a child. So that's why here in AWC, we have much fewer issues with implied mature content, since it isn't descriptive enough to actually produce a mental image. When scenes in an article are slightly more explicit, we've historically added warnings in the title. We have declined extremely violent articles in the past, in accordance to both the Tanki rules and our own standards. These include exceedingly violent stories or ones with disturbing themes. 

 

Essentially, the rules goes on the base that it's any sort of graphic information or description of harm that could traumatize a minor. So if the violence isn't shown in an image or explicitly described, it's usually fine. However, this is up to the discretion of Amateur Writing section helpers; if moderators found problem with it, then they would let us know so we could change our standards.

Where can I find the "Hallucinations" story? I want to read it :ph34r:.

It was hidden because it broke rules. I'll ask Flexbot if he can give me a word doc of the story, but I don't think he will. I'll try anyway.

 

EDIT: K, seems like you'll have to ask him yourself. I'm sure he'll give you. ))

I wonder what happened when you asked...  :unsure:  :ph34r:

Also, no one is actually forcing you to read it. If you’re an easily scared person just don’t read it. :D

 

I peed in my pants.

I'm not easily scared, unlike some people apparently.

Who is "flexbot?" What is his username?

I hate onions so I won't like this.

If you hate onions, it means you like killing them, which is equivalent to chopping them. Since this article talks about chopping them, you should like it, unless you do not hate onions, which would be hypocrisy.

Which font did you use for the first picture Magenta?

Quadrat Grotesk. It costs money but I'm 99% sure Magenta either pirated it or got the files from someone else. 

I did. :ph34r:

Ah, I remember these articles, they were a main contribute to the fall of the TWG, for all you guys old enough to remember that.

Basically, onions are really important in Tanki Online, it absolutely deserves a topic in the forum of an online tank game... <_<
