TheColi.
Towns are Threads, Cities are Sections.
you can take the long way to a thread by scrolling through pages, or fast travel by having it bookmarked.
you level up your daps and reps
you can lose progress by Aggro-ing other posters, resulting in a neg train.
you create your own avatar and character name
your equipment is your font size, text color, gifs, and smilies.
trolling can lead to ban. Mods are guard NPC's. Bushes is like the bad player lobbies in GTA online.
you can join factions on your journey to combat(flame war) against other factions(think xbox vs playstation, Bron vs Kobe, Marvel vs DC)
Certain threads can have items that boost your stats. intelligence stat(think learning about stocks), boost your Personality stat(threads on networking etiquette), boost your Mercantile stat(sales threads).
Certain threads can also have items that lower your stats. intelligence(arguing with conspiracy theorists in the bushes), Personality(taking this forum seriously and getting upset), Mercantile(falling for woe is me scams ie: that dude that was begging for codes for Forbidden West)
you can choose your combat build aka how to argue (glass cannon like Courtdog(he cant go far without catching a time out ban), Illusionist like Meach(concern trolling, bad faith arguments), Spam one attack build(Gizmo Duck and his thread spam, put all his attributes into thread making), Thief (like those who repost lipstick alley, reddit, resetera, etc threads), White Mage (like those that have to save every woman poster, etc)
Or do a pacifist run(extremely rare, almost unicorn like approach to TheColi).
3/5 stars overall, only took points off because there is no real endgame, just recycled quests aka threads under a different variation.
