once again, Erogame stuff turns out to have non-ero side benefits
Permalink

It turns out that <style> tags don't work, so it's a no-go on my original plan to define an .erogame{...} class style and then just use <p class="erogame"> throughout the thread.

Instead, here's an inline style definition for Erogame violet-pink text boxes.

(The general principle should be applicable to other situations as well.)

 


Erogamer's CSS: Lvl 1 (30%). Active. 1 TEC / use. The 30% reflects the 3 variants below.

You can create violet-pink text boxes floating in midair.

Irresponsible use of this power may lead to shenanigans, so be sure to wield it carefull--+‌so there's literally no downside. Go wild.

At Lvl 1, text boxes too close to the top of a post or reply will clip incorrectly against the userbox on the left side. You can avoid this by adding dialogue or narration above the game's text box. Use of the preview feature is recommended.
Quest available: It Just Bugs Me

Submit a code patch to let the Erogame text box appear correctly even when placed at or near the top of the post or reply.

Hint: This issue also affects normal blockquotes.

Success: +1 Erogamer's CSS, increased relations with users
Failure: ---
Bonus objective #1: Make sure the top of the text box doesn't clip the bottom of the userbox when applicable.
Accept: Y/N

 

Here's the actual code:

<blockquote style="
color: #800080;
border: 0.25em solid #800080;
background: black;
font-family: monospace;
padding: 1em;
border-radius: 1em;
">Game text goes here.</blockquote>

 

Here's a step-by-step on how to use this.

 

1. Surrounding text

If you just paste the code on its own, you won't be able later to easily add text outside of the specially-formatted box; there needs to already be outside text in place. (If you skip this step, the situation is recoverable but takes a tiny bit of hand-editing in HTML mode.)

Start in Rich Text mode. (If you don't know what this is, you're almost certainly in it by default.)

Add a couple lines of placeholder text. (Two is sufficient: one will end up above the special game-info box, and the other will end up below.)

After you've done this, click the "HTML" button to switch the post editor into HTML mode.

 

2. Paste the magic style code

Copy the code block near the top of this instruction post (the one starting with  <blockquote style="  and ending with  </blockquote> ) and paste it between the two lines.

After you've done this, click the "Rich Text" button to switch out of HTML mode and back to normal editing.

 

3. Write your content

You should now have the specially-formatted Erogame text box displaying inline and editable in the post editor.

By default, pressing Enter will create a separate text box immediately after the current one. (Sorry.) To insert newlines inside a text box, use Shift-Enter.

 


Final note: In-universe, the background should be transparent rather than opaque black, but that's hard to read if the reader's preferred site skin uses a mediumish (as opposed to very dark or very light) background color for posts.

By popular demand— (Just a mention that it's kind of hard to read.)

By popular demand suggestion, a couple of variants:

 


 

Variant CSS – Lightbox: Lvl MAX. Active.

When using Erogamer's CSS, you may use the standard "violet-pink" (purple) text on a white background, instead of black.
<blockquote style="
  color: #800080;
  border: 0.25em solid #800080;
  background: white;
  font-family: monospace;
  padding: 1em;
  border-radius: 1em;
">Game text goes here.</blockquote>

 

Variant CSS – Hot Pink: Lvl MAX. Active.

When using Erogamer's CSS, you may use bright magenta text on a black background.
<blockquote style="
  color: #
FF00FF;
  border: 0.25em solid #FF00FF;
  background: black;
  font-family: monospace;
  padding: 1em;

Variant CSS – Stop Trying To Help: Lvl MAX. Active.

When using Erogamer's CSS, you may leave the foreground and background colors at their default values for blockquotes in the current site skin. As the saying goes, if it's stupid but it works, it ain't stupid. On the other hand, this does in fact look pretty stupid.

Example of character sheet (slightly less white than the above):

Gabriel Valentine

"The Erogamer"

LVL: 1 (0 / 200)

 

Stats

DOM: 60 / 320

SUB: 130 / 520

 

BOD: 26 (+)

LST: 31 (+)

SED: 12 (+)

FUK: 20 (+)

PRV: 21 (+)

ERO: 10 (+)

 

Stat Points: 5

Money: $520

 

Status Effects: None

Description: Gabe is young, hot, and full of energy! Unfortunately, the fact that he's living with his half-cousin Henry in one of the few jobs that included a living place they could find, wondering every month whether they will have enough to eat next month, means that these things are underappreciated by the world as a whole. He still has Henry to use as an outlet for his sexual urges, but the fact that he wants much, much more than this is what makes him a good candidate for the Erogame.

 

Skills

Erogamer's Body (Lvl MAX): The biological ability to live your life as an erogame. Venereal disease doesn't exist for you, or periods or pregnancies or yeast infections. Arbitrarily large appendages can fit inside any of your orifices. You heal from all marks with a good night's sleep, ready for the next day's adventures. Other aspects of this skill depend on the BOD stat.

Erogamer's Soul (Lvl MAX): A different player might have received an Erogamer's Mind skill to unlock their potential and allow them to play the game as it is meant to be played. Either you really didn't want that, or your mind was already porny enough to impress the Erogame. This core skill only prevents your mind from being fundamentally and permanently damaged by extreme sexual experiences, and allows you to make voluntary use of the FUK, SED, LST, and PRV stats.

Erogamer's World (Lvl MAX): The consent of reality to live your life as an erogame. People are never too preoccupied to consider sex or romance, not while you're around. Bystanders won't ignore what you do, but they're unlikely to actually stop you. Those who do decide to involve themselves are drawn into the logic of the Erogame. If you go far enough that an authority sees no choice but to intervene… they won't treat you as a simple criminal. Other aspects of this skill depend on the ERO stat.

 

Perks

Home Office: No matter how many times you skip work, if at least one of you or Henry shows up per week neither of you is going to be fired. Doing that too many times might come with other punishments than firing, though, or require you to "persuade" your superiors to prevent them.

 

Info // Character Stats

LVL / Level: The quantified totality of your potency as an Erogame character. The effect of this characteristic goes beyond just the 5 extra stat points you get per level, and the additional perk point you receive every 5th level.

BOD / Body: Your physical attractiveness, and other biological capabilities. At higher levels, your body becomes able to enact more exotic erogame events.

LST / Lust: The intensity of your sexual urges, and how easy it is to get you going.

SED / Seduction: Your ability to seduce others, to pique their interest and arouse their desire.

FUK / Fucking: Your ability to perform in bed and give others pleasure… or other sensations.

PRV / Perversion: Your descent into the world of naughtiness, fetish, deviance, and corruption.

ERO / Erogame Logic: The extent to which the world will bend---or can be bent by you---to create romantic and sexual situations in defiance of probability. Or at higher levels, physics.

DOM / Dominant Energy: Based off SED and FUK, fueling skills that invoke your dominance, sadism, or mastery.

SUB / Submissive Energy: Based off LST and PRV, fueling skills that invoke your submission, masochism, or service.

 

Info // Character Stats // Level

At LVL 1, and 0% progress toward the next level, you're at the very start of your new life.

You can increase your level by completing the quests the Erogame offers you, or by causing romantic and sexual events to happen to you or around you. The more difficult the challenge, the greater the rewards.

 

Info // Character Stats // Body

A BOD of 26 is not bad at all - you're by far the most attractive person almost anywhere you go, and even straight men have to begrudgingly accept that there might be something going on with you. More people should see you naked, though.

You can increase this stat through exhibitionism, and other acts that invoke the pure beauty and power of your physical form.

 

Info // Character Stats // Lust

An LST of 31 places you amongst the horniest people in your city. Some people would say they'd like to have sex every day but they'd be wrong, and would get tired after three. You would do it twice or more daily if you had your way. You should have your way.

You gain in this stat while experiencing sexual urges that are unusually intense or that go on unusually long.

 

Info // Character Stats // Seduction

The fact that you're as attractive as you are, homosexual, and have a half-cousin willing to bang you are the only reasons you get laid at all. Make no mistake, your seductive powers are above average, but... that's saying very, very little.

You can increase this stat by arousing the romantic interest or sexual desire of others, and successfully pursuing them or being caught.

 

Info // Character Stats // Fucking

Very few men can claim to have had sex more times than they have masturbated, and fewer still under the age of 20, so your FUK of 20 - placing you as the most sexually capable and experienced in most rooms you find yourself in - is well-earned. They say variety is the spice of life, though, and that's how you get better at this.

How do you increase this stat? Take a fucking guess.

 

Info // Character Stats // Perversion

With a PRV of 21, you're definitely one of the kinkiest people around. You're willing to contemplate things about which most people would blush if they even read about, and you've done your fair share of them, if a bit limited by your means. But there are more things between heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your fantasies, and finding them would be so, so good.

You can increase this stat by looking for opportunities to get even kinkier. 

 

Info // Character Stats // Erogame Logic 

At an ERO of 10, your life has become an erogame taking place in a mostly realistic setting. What happens to you might seem unlikely to others, but it won't break their belief in a sane universe… yet. Witnesses will reach for explanations other than the Erogame, but they'll still notice the unusual events.

If you keep pushing probability to its limits, then probability will learn to be a bit more flexible down there, relax and take it in and not protest so much.

 

Info // Character Stats // Dominant and Submissive Energy

If this were a different game, you'd have mana and hit points.

 

And they'd refill just from you sitting around on your ass doing nothing.
