Example of a attempt im making..that i made about...40 minutes ago? I forget

Anyway im gonna try and produce more of theses threads to attempt comedy...Was hoping anyone can spare some tips..

Also i already know to avoid sexual content when it comes to theses threads...Just would like some tips to improve comical value

In my opinion, just don't. In the words of the great Emperor Cartagia "Humour is so subjective, don't you find?"

A bit more context...

When you write an opinion piece in character, even if you screw up, your writing can spark further discussion, can lead to you learning about some piece of lore when another character uses it to slam dunk your character's argument, can form the basis for two other characters to have an insightful discussion on the subject.

A humour piece is much harder to do properly and has a far greater chance of simply looking infantile and ridiculous when it backfires. IMHO your desire to be "funny" is a large part of what caused people to write you off as Foley and your move away from that is what caused Avio to be received a lot more kindly.

Things to do: Be funny
Things not to do: Not be funny

Well I just thought I try..

Does not hurt to try right?

So Foley's the guy with the funny hat and poor choice of subject, is he?

Gee, I wonder if Foley was inspired or traumatized by what happened when he stuck in Maria Daphiti's ventilation system when the nanite scrubbing occurred

That actually played a part in the idea, yes

This is seriously making me reconsider future revisits to SFRIM's bars and/or offices.

Wow I'm agreeing with Anslo....
Was I nice post and I did laugh.
I think you should totally roll an infomercial alt and start doing these on a regular basis.

[Veiki]

I had a chuckle at the piece.

Yes, I broke character from the expected frowning face and dour mien of a Caldari.

Now I chuckle on the inside.
