I dunno man, I kind of have been drawing a blank recently, in terms of new stuff to write about.
And some of the stuff on the new IGS is... well, it's like what the mainstream media looks like nowadays compared to The Onion, as opposed to what mainstream media looked like compared to the Onion ten years ago.

Must be a tough gig to be a satirist when most roleplayers manage to parody and caricature their own characters and content of their own volition, you mean?

Get meta with it, just start quoting the most egregious shitposters word for word.
Like literally start a new thread with their topic and just post their shit word for word :)

No, that's someone else.

You'll find something along the road. Alternatively, you could take up shitposting like what someone else said. Healthy and original content :)
