"Ignore This" (game)

snowywinter • 15 April 2026 at 12:25 AM

Past few days, even in my own life, for some reason this is making me snicker, some forgotten quote like Invader Zim shouting "Ignore Me!", getting the complete opposite result.

Object of the game: write a creative, silly way in which you ignore the post above you, the entire thread, or ruin the affect by drawing way too much attention to yourself. Feign indifference, be embarassed, over-react, it's up to you.
Try to think of it in a role-play headspace, but don't worry about taking it too seriously.
(want people to have fun with it in a fluid game-like manner, unlike the rigity a plot would entail.)

Rules: Don't be mean spirited or purposly negative.



After spending hours drafting up the perfect eloquent missive, and typing it out on the typewriter, Snowy was about to pin it up on the corkboard at the Bean Sack cafe, but yawning, they tossed the sheet aside letting it drift to a nearby table as they grabbed their jacket, waved a 'see ya later' to Aki, and walked out the door without a second glance at the flyer.

Jarsha lazily finished her book, having spent a little too long at the library chomping on the pages of countless stories. Remaining seated, she considered searching for another story to enjoy. Jarsha continued to stare at the paper scraps that remained of the joke book. Surely 4 books was enough.
“Four books is enough” she mumbled to herself, as if to convince herself of this.
Sprouting little butterfly wings from her head, the book toppled out of her hand onto the floor and she ascended straight up, banging her head on the ceiling and adjusting her direction towards the front door.
“I gotta get outta here!” she squawked suddenly, legs and arms dangling below her as she fluttered out the door.

A patron browsing the books nearby, and saw the books being munched on. Appalled at first, but it was nowhere near their section. "Well, that's one way to consume books I guess," they said quietly to themselves. Their fingers running along the spines of old favorites. Quietly squeeing, as they come upon their own title on the shelf. Happy to see a dream come true. With such delight, an armload of new reads, they headed to the checkout desk. Should they have mentioned the damaged books to the librarian? perhaps, but it was the perfect day for a walk in the park.

(okay, this is way more plotty than I intented, but I forgot the reply I had planned thanks to a splitting headache.)

102 BEC (Before Egg Coins)
A year of nary a strife, alas nary a connection. Nary a plunder, alas nary a trade. Nary an egg hatch, alas nary an egg lay.
A year lacking in accomplishments while simultaneously lacking in failures. A year without up or down (left and right were present at this time.)
102 BEC is not written about. Nary a scholarly text documenting the year exists in any archives. One could bid a dedicated scholar today to research and document 102 BEC, alas any such scholar would truly refuse. 102 BEC is the year of nought. What scholar would document the year of nought? Is the lack of historical recordings of the year 102 BEC not sufficient documentation regarding the year of nought? None would read such documentation, as one canst not read a blank leaf of paper.
Next time one wishes to consider the Year of Nought, to honor it’s nonexistent legacy, one should’st reconsider. 102 BEC is not to be shamed, alas not to be honored. 102 BEC was, and was not. Prithee forbear thinking about the year 102 BEC (Before Egg Coins.)
