World of Horror - The Unofficial Fan ARG (starring a mad cultist in his neverending quest to fight off his old god.)

[Highly Inappropriate]

As I was saying yesterday: I could show you the face of my old god, but it is taboo, and so as a reward for my devotion, I was granted a day's refreshing leave from these mind dungeons, by some merciful warden angel, who was surprisingly unfamiliar with basic punctuation. ("you have been banned from all WORLD OF HORROR discussions" - grade F. It's like he was Chinese or something.)

...but let's not pick on spelling when he gave me the greatest gifts of all: The freedom of my soul. The ability to finally get around to do my dishes and my laundry, and perform my rituals, all sorts of things. ...not that I got around to half of that, because he only banned me for a day, and I preoccupied myself with continuing to rip World of Horror, but still, he tried to set me on the right path, and these are tears of joy. I don't know what was so "inappropriate" about describing the consequences of suicide, but as usual I don't care.

No, I don't think my acid is laced with LSD, Nicholson. The acid IS the LSD, and the trip is the point. You see, there are good trips, and there are bad trips. LSD trips, which makes you halucinate and drive you AWAY from reality, are BAD trips, while ascorbic acid trips, instead serve to SHARPEN your senses. It activates your nor-adrenaline gland, which awakens your fear, and at the center of all fears, she swims. She is not a halucination. "Entertainment" is. You take ascorbic acid in order to wake up from the trips of hedonism - wake up in the hunting grounds, where household appliances bleed - yadda, yadda, yadda, you all know the rest.

In my own absence, I've spent some quality time focusing on taking drugs and healing my teeth, and I ended up cancelling my root canal appointment, 'cause as it turns out, my fever and delirium, was actually just my imagination. (The nurse - your average clueless atheist, no doubt - was very perplexed at my cancellation.) My gums are still stinging, but those are just healing stings, and the boils are completely gone now.

I'm not saying that my old god favours me, because that would be tremendous blasphemy, but I do believe that we're going steady. Does that answer your question, NekoGorls? If I could get her to sign a marriage certificate, it'd be official, but she'd just sign it in somebody's blood, and then they'd look at me like *I* did it, so...

Anyway, I've also spent some time playing more World of Horror, of course, and image-rip-wise I only have six events left to do, and an unchecked number of enemies. I've not quite decided what I should do when I'm done, though. I've kinda lost trust in you guys. You think this is all just a videogame - that old gods aren't real? It would be like handing a loaded gun to a baby - completely irresponsible of me. ...so we'll see what I come up with - maybe I can put together the world's first babysafe gun or something.

Bad news, though: It turns out that my cool new drugs ended up in the backseat of someone else's car, so it'll probably be a week before I can get them back, given the quarantine and all that. ...but I'm still well stocked up on the old drugs, so I'm not suffering.

...and I really should get back to doing my daily warding rituals now that my fever is down. I really wish that ban lasted a full week, to the honest. ...or a month! I even wish I could go play some Rimworld, now that the death cult update has been released. Stop trying to seduce me, game developers! We need to prepare for the coming of the old god - not play your delicious videogames!

Also, I noticed I missed the five most recent messages, before my warning about the discord suicide cult was removed, but I'm sure that you can repeat that here, if it was anything important.

Woah, a return

For those of you who don't know what "discord suicide cult" we're talking about, here's a quote from the former thread, before the cult got to it:

I've mentioned this before, but since it's such a serious, life-threatening issue, I really should make a separate thread about it with its own headline.
Since Panstasz left the community of his official Discord server to its own devices, it was warped into something truly evil.
To sum it up for you: Do not go there.

See, what you want, and what Panstasz intended, is a server where you can go for mod support, and to share your mods - a professional platform for the exchange of information regarding World of Horror. Panstasz put up rules explicity stating that users should be made to feel welcome on the server, and that nobody should be discriminated against, because at the end of the day the game is what matters.

...but all those rules have by now been abandoned. Cue the bunny meadow ending from Doom 1. Nowadays ostracism is open and shameless. It is the norm, and that which holds the community together. Users merely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, stalk, bully and troll, while the worst abuses come from the moderators themselves, who threaten and ban their victims for reasons such as, quote, "♥♥♥♥ you." and "You're making me look really bad.", with their emotional outbursts operating on mere whimsical insanity.

...and I'm being unfair here when I say "moderators" in plural, because out of two moderators present on the server, only one of them is really active and abusive. She is a single mom called Kirie, and she makes damned sure that everyone is stomped equally under her boot on a daily basis. She rules through fear and just sheer insanity, and you are expected to dance to her tune and praise her doing it. ...and you have no idea what that tune even is. Sometimes that tune is simply "live in the United States", I kid you not, and by the time when you are even informed of that, she's already considering the punishment for the insolence of your mere existence. Your birth under the sun was an abomination which she will smite, and "♥♥♥♥ you.".

...and if you think that this reminds you of some kind of a cult of personality on steroids, let's go into the WORSE issue with the discord:
The suicide cult.

See, Kirie used to be - "used to be" used loosely here - a member of the suicide cult Systemspace, also known as The Tsuki Project, which is a real life cult which the new World of Horror mystery Bloody Brief of a Beckoning Bulletin, is modeled after. Its core belief is basically that if you commit suicide, you'll go to anime cyberpunk heaven together with your friends. This belief was concocted by a 16 year old schizophrenic, who was later arrested for trying to incite these suicides. Recently Kirie - in a passionate attempt to express her "realness" to the server - talked quite extensively about how she's never really been deprogrammed after their leader's arrest, and long back to those days when she had, quote, "a sense of purpose".
...and she's far from the only cult member on that server. They call themselves "migrants" and use numbers instead of names to identify themselves.

...so here Kirie is, trying to rule a social group that has no business being a social group, with a rabid iron fist. From the moment that you enter the server, you will be met with suspicion by cultists regarding you as a suspicious outsider, and who will repeatedly post preprepared statement images about how they do not condone or associate with anything shady going on in the server. I ♥♥♥♥ you not - even the possibility of you being an FBI agent coming to infiltrate their virtual compound, will be voiced. ...and once this is settled, the next phase begins, which is the scrutiny: "Are you cult member material?", "Are you somebody whom we can brainwash into embracing 'the death system'?", as they call it. This will be much less noticable - they'll be doing this vetting behind your back. What they will ALSO be doing behind your back, is save links to any suspicious post you make, so that if the time comes for casting you out as unworthy, their secret police can summarize everything "suspicious" you've done in order to support their leader's whims. ...and this list of charges will end up being really bizarre if they can't really find anything on you, so part of what they listed against ME, was "Takes vitamin C.". You know, "The FORBIDDEN Vitamin".
...and so if they ultimately deem that you possess the very fundamental sliver of sanity to fear death, and thus want to live, you've just made Kirie, as well as plenty of other people around you, your enemy, and she will ban you in a mere week, if you don't convert and feel that sacred need to kill yourself.

This is sadly what the World of Horror has warped into in Panstasz's absence: Something so moldy and toxic that it is dedicated to actually killing you and your will to live. People are still asking what could have possibly happened to Panstasz, and this cult having wormed its way into his very game, brings a couple of new theories to the table, the most optimistic being that he's in some mental asylum because his suicide attempt somehow failed.

If you play Bloody Brief of a Beckoning Bulletin, you will notice something disturbing: You get to argue with the cult hivemind, and the only real argument that the game presents against you joining them by killing yourself, is that the old gods are destroying the in-game world. Panstasz could not come up with an argument for you to not kill yourself, and so the least suicidal option that you can pick, is to promise to kill yourself later, once you've won the game. I voiced my concerns over this on the discord, and about how the suicide hivemind in the game, was actually an evil entitiy seducing people into suicide, just a few hours before Kirie mysteriously had a fit of insanity and threatened to ban me if I didn't somehow rebirth myself in the US - a country which she's not even born in herself. Hmm - I wonder why that happened...

...so unless you're from Interpol, or the FBI, and you are looking to conduct an investigation into a cult resurgence, do not go there. Not unless you want to sit your ass down on a wooden chair in a police interrogation room, and answer a bunch of questions regarding your will to live, just because you were caught in a dragnet.

There are other modding platforms for World of Horror, like Nexus Mods ( https://www.nexusmods.com/worldofhorror ). I haven't taken much of a look at it, but I can't really imagine it being even worse than the discord.

You may not be able to show the world an image of your goddess, but may it be possible to show a facsimile? That is, a figure similar to it yet isn't forbidden so we may better understand.

Well, there is a scale that goes from the abstract to the real. Do you want her iconographied according to Indian culture, my own culture, or do you want the forbidden taboo images that are banned in half the world? ...because I don't think I can get you those. I have a very beautiful depiction of a woman being fried alive that can be viewed on YouTube, but I think that if I even link that here, that I'll be banned.

This model is a fair aproximation, although the teeth need to be sharper:

Thanks for your response.

Something rotten has drifted on shore not far from my neighborhood. They tried to shoot it, but it ate a young girl and they don't know where she went after that. The police are very silent on the matter, but I know it's her. Apparently there was a ritual going on at that beach prior to it. It must have served as some kind of a beacon. There was a noise in my apartment just now - hopefully just my neighbor banging on the wall for some reason. No, there it is again. I'm going to go investigate.

Update:
False alarm: Just my neighbor flushing lots of water for some reason. She can walk through walls, you know. Most people can't see her while she stalks, but the ascorbic acid has expanded my senses.

Are you still alive?

Or did the Ascorbic acid finally take it's toll?

Oh, you're still alive too?
I keep telling you: I'm taking ascorbic acid to SURVIVE. Whether or not you can percieve her or not, she's coming for us all.

I should probably list things chronologically for you:
Yesterday the stench intensified. ...or I wouldn't call it a stench, because stink is what rotten things do. Have you ever been in the infested den of a fully mutated tar creature? I used to date one. A hideous stench that settles into the walls and makes breathing feel like inhaling a sheep. Lucky for me it comes and goes, but if this continues for any longer, I have the choice to either choke or flee out into the streets. ...and so, being too afraid to even move, that's how the deadlights of the hypnoscreen got me: Rimworld. Delusions of Laura Kinney carrying around a minigun. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Anyway, as I was sleeping, two unmarked white vans pulled up outside, and this morning the stench had been replaced with long, drawnout shrieks deafening enough to kill a large dog from sheer terror. Mysterious people were moving about in all the upstairs (ground floor) apartments, sandblasting the floors away. It turns out that there was no tar creature den upstairs, because nobody lived upstairs at all. Instead what they do once the old god has eaten all my neighbors, is that the cleaners move in, and use some sort of chemical solvent to dissolve the plastic floors, before they start blasting them. Talk about removing the evidence - the entire floor! I guess she must leave some deep clawmarks or something.

The deafening sound made it hard to even think, and I have now confirmed that I have the mental focus to poop with a pneumatic drill operating aimed at my head a mere meter from it, and plaster falling down all around me. Go me!

I'm fortunate enough to not require much sleep or pooping. ...normally, that is. These past days I have been too paniced to even take my drugs, and so I'm slowly reverting back to human form. ...so thank you for reminding me to take my pills. I've re-fueled my nor-adrenaline gland now.

I need to focus on not gnashing my teeth so hard. My teeth are sharp enough to cut my tongue. I'm so hungry.

I hear helicopters passing overhead, probably still searching for her, but it's futile: They're not taking the acid required to track her through the hunting grounds.

I think the ISIS cult - those crazy, murderous bastards - might have been the ones who summoned her rotting form, but who can really tell these days, when she's basically everywhere, in one form or another? ...but I am afraid to even speak further on this matter. The eyes and hears of the cult are everywhere. Calling ISIS murderous bastards might be considered hateful, and hate is forbidden here.

...but never mind me. How are YOU? Have you decided to take the red pill yet? You won't need to poop anymore.
