RIP School Survival Forums
August 2001 - June 2017

The School Survival Forums are permanently retired. If you need help with quitting school, unsupportive parents or anything else, there is a list of resources on the Help Page.

If you want to write about your experiences in school, you can write on our blog.

To everyone who joined these forums at some point, and got discouraged by the negativity and left after a while (or even got literally scared off): I'm sorry.

I wasn't good enough at encouraging people to be kinder, and removing people who refuse to be kind. Encouraging people is hard, and removing people creates conflict, and I hate conflict... so that's why I wasn't better at it.

I was a very, very sensitive teen. The atmosphere of this forum as it is now, if it had existed in 1996, would probably have upset me far more than it would have helped.

I can handle quite a lot of negativity and even abuse now, but that isn't the point. I want to help people. I want to help the people who need it the most, and I want to help people like the 1996 version of me.

I'm still figuring out the best way to do that, but as it is now, these forums are doing more harm than good, and I can't keep running them.

Thank you to the few people who have tried to understand my point of view so far. I really, really appreciate you guys. You are beautiful people.

Everyone else: If after everything I've said so far, you still don't understand my motivations, I think it's unlikely that you will. We're just too different. Maybe someday in the future it might make sense, but until then, there's no point in arguing about it. I don't have the time or the energy for arguing anymore. I will focus my time and energy on people who support me, and those who need help.

The forums are mostly read-only and are in a maintenance/testing phase, before being permanently archived. Please use this time to get the contact details of people you'd like to keep in touch with. My contact details are here.

Please do not make a mirror copy of the forums in their current state - things will still change, and some people have requested to be able to edit or delete some of their personal info.

RE: The FUTURE!

Oh, someone better take the opportunity to make a teddy bear god or a unicorn god.

Bonus points if they're the god of war or the god of death.

Oh, and this is a perfect time to join in, if anyone wants to start playing.

The FUTURE!

So, the war arc has just about ended. I think it's time for us to actually make gods and religons and magic and such.

I propose doing "God applications", so that we have an idea of who the god is and such. We should also decided how many minor gods there should be between all of us. And I also haven't decided what major god I am.

The FUTURE!

Unrelated, but I like the words of wisdom in your sig about xcriteria. So true.

Anyway, I've established DoA as one of the main two gods, while Chanku controls the other. While Chanku created the universe of GoSS, he attempts to keep it the same (from a divine point of view, anyway). DoA is the exact opposite; he writes the book of fate, speaks like an uneducated surfer, and most importantly modifies the GoSS universe without actually creating much. His power is the ability to warp reality itself, and it is not one he confers unless he gets to exercise it himself. It is implied that he'd warp the universe even more if not for Chanku holding him back.

I've also created the Seastrider dynasty as a divine being, and its ability is Dispel Undead. Note that this god now goes by the name (and personality) of Martin! Martin can confer the blessing of magic powers related to fighting the undead and unsummoning them from the plane, and is not very jealous - as long as you don't celebrate or worship beings of evil nature, he will offer the blessing of the Seastrider dynasty on any who request it.

I might make more lesser gods, but for the moment those are the only two.

The FUTURE!

What if I'm the god of good and evil? And my goal is to make sure there's always a balance between them? That seems like a logical choice.

I'll problably have three or four minor gods, maybe more. The only one that's set in stone is Lennon. I'll talk about him more when I have the others sorted out.

Well the gods I control is Chanku: The god of Creation and Justice, and Anakata, the god of protection. Anakata is the only god directly created by Chanku. Chanku is the 'king' of gods. However there are also outcast gods, which are the evil gods. (well this is how I imagine it)

Pretty Much my only signature...I'm mainly a lurker....you can find me on the IRC (or on DnE and their IRC).

He he.

I think I'll choose to have 2 religions. See the Fantasia topic for more details.

RE: The FUTURE!

Indeed, 3 new religions are growing in Fantasia.

[Image: Epsilon%20Program%20Invite.jpg]
The most disturbing one is known as the Epsilon Program, which is mainly centered in Los Santos island.

The second religion is known as the Church of Sweet Cred, which has a set of 5 different gods, known as Simon, Morris, Sheila, Kimball, and Ninkumpoop. The 5 main beliefs are:

1. The 5 gods created this universe for all sweetness

2. The more sugar that's consumed, the more safer our planet is

3. Nutrition is a conspiracy by vegetable growers to sell more products

4. The 5 gods will return in 5 years and destroy the planet if the sugar consumption does not increase

5. Each human must make a pilgrimage to the Sweet Heaven Temple, and give a donation of 500 Fantasian rubles each 6 months.

The 3rd religion is called the Church of the Fonz, also growing around in 2 major cities.

What I'd give to be a character in the GoSSverse that joins the Church of the Fonz.
