On the Giant in the Playground forums, there's a now dead game that spiralled into existence from an accidentally created thread. It looked interesting and hilarious, so I decided to take it over here.

How it works is simple: You look at the post above yours, then quote that post and delete letters or words to make it say something different, then reply to that as if that was what the post had said.

Happy deleting!

Well yes, we all age, and unfortunately as we age we'll all eventually have to "go", but hopefully it won't be for a while.

"we like Royal? gah"

That reaction makes a lot of sense. How dare someone thinks we like the nobility after all the terrible things they've done! They let the peasants starve, for god's sake!

action make a lose. dare one think like toby after all the telings they've done! let the peas star, for god's sake

What a deep quote. Of course, maybe try using capital letter at the start of your sentences. But, on the bright side, "action make a lose" is a deep part-of-the-quote summarizing why sometimes trying to do something right now instead of waiting ends in failure. Wow, that was very dark. Anyway, moving on to the next sentence, "dare one [to] think like [T]oby after all the [tellings] they've done!" (I think that that is the intended reading.) means that Toby is a rebel, kind of. He "tells it like it is", so to say, and he isn't afraid of challenging the establishment. He's a hated man within the community that the speaker's addressing. He's a peace-lover, a hippie, as he wants to "let the [peace] star]", which I think means to make peace the star of the show called "What Politicians Want". Of course, the first sentence has nothing to do with the rest of the quote, and the spelling errors really distract from the message. Otherwise, nice job! B plus.

Wait, what exactly is that deep quote? Is it as deep as the bottom of the ocean?

the Paela, the In The Sea, and the meat's.
Ah yes, the three genders. You misspelled "paella", by the way.

Paella typically has seafood in it, doesn't it? ... And seafood is, by most standards, a meat. This may be a Nonsense Classification thing you're doing here.

... Wait, "meat's"? Not meats, but things belonging to meat? That changes things, though admittedly I'm not sure how to work with it.

"Y r u gey"

Please use correct grammar while accusing me of belonging to the LGBTQ+ community. And, for the record, I am not gay. Plus, using "gay" as an insult is rude to the people who are actually gay. Did I answer your rude question?

Oh, that is such a classic Portist excuse. Your Teleport Spam creates thousands of portals, only to destroy them seconds later when you're done with later. Not to mention the poor portal orphans! Don't you feel guilty?

Now that’s just petty. You hypocrite; you should be ashamed of yourself for saying things that could easily be taken out of context by miners.
