New Tabloid Town Rules!

Maybe I ought to give up using QM's. It's a passing fad anyway, like rainbow lip gloss or adding PH to the beginning of words that start with F. Phreaky!

[shadow=purple,left,300]When they were a fairly new concept, QMs were actually hilarious, even if they got so gosh darn perverted that people started competing as to who can make the most perverted QM'd word. XDDDDD

But now it's just...passé. And because they were so overdone, they just became way too annoying.

I phail at this. [/shadow]

[Ice]

Exactly.

PHAIL is the best word starting with f changed to 'ph'

So, I'm like a week late in this thread.

I was actually pretty okay with the old Bloids, but I wasn't around for the last part of it, so eh. Never did use QMs much either. The innuendo is part of the fun though, and I'm sure I can count on the lot of you to come up with something else just as... interesting. That gets around the rules.

There's one big tension at the heart of this discussion - how do we keep the things that make the Bloids the Bloids, while making sure that we don't cross the line? And I think that the first part - keeping what makes the Bloids the Bloids - shouldn't be overlooked. After all, that's why we want to fix the Bloids in the first place, right?

The best outcome would be if we could agree not to use QMs/closeting/innuendo as much, and find some new, less perverted (and probably more creative) things to use in their place. That way, we'd avoid the feeling of being stifled by rules and still make it more family-friendly. Perhaps bringing back the Tabloids newspaper could be one such replacement.

Ikkin, honey, the newspapers had innuendo in CAULDRONS.

I mean, I drew Stone.. and Buddy... and Brett... in their underwear several times. D: (And Spot drew Kass. OH GOD KASS.) If that wasn't risque, nothing was!

So what I'm saying is: be more careful with what y'all are saying. But it's not like the Bloids have to be totally and completely 6-year-old. Go for in moderation. I'm still going to castrate Nick. I just might not describe how I do it... plus I was running out of ideas anyway. There are only so many things you can do to castrate someone on a daily basis for two or three years. In the long run, a little bit of innuendo here and there will be a lot funner anyway than living in a whole house full of it.

I didn't mean to suggest it didn't... XD Just that it might be one new creative thing to throw into the mix to replace the things that were banned.

I don't see anything wrong with underwear, though. XD As long as it's not Stal's speedo. The ones with the censored bars and conveniently-placed Meepits were more risque, IMO.

[glow=red,2,300]Ahhh, the conveniently-placed Meepits. ^_^ Those were my glory days.

But I see that Crystal has a point regarding castration. I mean, I didn't knwo what castration was until she explained it to me.[/glow]

So organ jokes just refer to... 'those', right? So I can still make shots about spleens and livers, and the odd remark about one's pancreas, right?

I never saw the appeal of doing the QM thing, trying to turn things dirty. It's pretty funny, but I think it's best if they just get laid to rest.

*Brains Grabs you, waltzes to randomly appearing dance music, and takes you into the closet to... treat you to a delicious candle-light dinner. Mmm, Steak.*

*Evil Grin*
This could be fun.

On a more serious note, there will always be people you make friends with on the 'Bloids, people whose arrival online brightens up your day a little more than others. I see nothing wrong with expressing your appreciation of that person through marriage or adoption or whatever, but to randomly marry and snog just devolves the meaning of an otherwise wholesome expression of love for other members of the forum.
By love, I mean that sort of friendly love. The kind where if that person decided they were done with NTWF and decided to leave forever, you would miss them and feel sad. And then castrate something. Then deny you ever loved them.
I hope I've made my point.

[glow=red,2,300]Yeah, you've got it. ^_^ And Brains puns still work as well. [/glow]

[Brains]

Oh, excellent.

*Throws a Pancreas at Rider*

So for me, nothing's really changed. I just enjoy discussing Land Sharks and Peanut Butter with four different people at the same time.

*Insert witty joke about Brains and brains and how my name is similar to an organ which can be squished similar to a watermelon if your name is Gallagher.*

[KitC]

The ultimate verb is now banned? D:

My world as I know it has shattered into a million fragments of what used to consist of the best word ever.

[Crystal]

Hm.

Is it possible to *ultimate verb* someone?

.....

*totally married Noc on a whim yesterday.* (which reminds me, I have to divorce him by tonight, or he'll probably do it in my absence.)

I thought random marriage and snogging were like, what the Bloids were all about. D: I mean.. Stal actually posted a whole long thing on how we weren't supposed to take it all seriously to begin with. And then he snogged someone. I forget who. It might have been Rider. But in any event, it was completely and totally GROSS.

[Zylaa]

Exactly! Random marriage and snogging on a whim. Nothing is serious.

And we need to find some way to reincarnate the ultimate verb. *ponders*

Just change some of the more PG-13 verbs into PG ones, and you should be fine.

Of course, it'll still be a gargantuan monster of a word, but at least it'll be a rule-following gargantuan monster of a word.

What does QM'ed mean? I like the new bloids...

But the only reason we put the worse words in there is because we ran out of PG words. XD Time to invent verbs!

[kacim22]

I'm curious as to what QM'ed means, too. D;
