BORED and you
A Piece O' Junk Informusement Film
Cheesy deep voiced announcer: Meet Billy. Hi, Billy!
See, Billy has discovered the wonderfully funny ongoing story that is BORED.
Billy: I wanna post in BORED, Mr. Cheesy Deep Voiced Announcer!
CDVA: Whoa. Slow down, Billy! First, you need to know how to continue this story effectively! you idiot
The most important thing to remember is that BORED is meant to be random.
Billy: Oooooooh! *posts random tripe that doesn't follow the plot at all*
CDVA: Now, Billy, that's not what I meant there. moron
Billy: But you said---
CDVA: Let me finish my sentence before you speak!
Now, random is good. However, random doesn't mean going off on your own tangents! This ruined a few BOREDs in the past. Make sure your posts contribute to the plot somehow! They don't have to make sense, but at least continue the story instead of branching into a pointless sub-plot. Read the earlier BORED threads to see examples.
Billy: Ooooooh. I see. *postdelete*
CDVA: See, now YOU can post in BORED, too! Just remember these 3 simple rules:
1) Posts should be randomly amusing
2) Posts should follow the plot of the previous posts despie being random
CDVA: Have fun!
Billy: What's the third one?
CDVA: SHUT UP

Disposable Minion #1: I guess. Actually, ya. I think.
???: Good. They must not find THE CARTOONS *thunderclap* *eerie horn siren*
WHY IS ROSHAN THINKING?

WHY DOES THE BULK OF THIS POST DO NOTHING TO ADVANCE THE PLOT?
