Discord Unleashed

180 Upvotes

Hey folks, it has been sometime since the official r/worldjerking discord vanished. Something happened with the moderator in charge of it, they ended up deleting the discord, and we've been trying (procrastinating) to replace it ever since.

I've just officially been put in charge of recreating the discord executively, meaning I get to make all the decisions (ya).

I've decided to rapidly put out this steaming pile of a discord, and will be working on it as it is used and improved.

Ya'll folks are welcome to give suggestions to me in the #meta channel.

Is this why GameLit settings are so popular? because you can't just one-shot someone easily most of the time?

Hmmm, maybe we're too harsh on slop isekai and we're forgetting that the modern world is full of chosen one narratives that promote great man view of history which puts down people by belittling them alongside a society that demands them remain "realistic" and work a dead end job as a goal or something...

Nah it's just lazy writing I'm pretty sure it's just that

What if every country in 1965 was assigned a chemical element and people could “bend” them

I’m an ATLA fan and a chemistry major, just thought of something ridiculous.

Let’s say it’s the year 1965 and there are 118 UN countries in the world. Suddenly, each country resonates with one of the 118 known chemical elements, granting certain people the ability to bend their assigned element.

Here countries paired with an element’s atomic number

1 of 3 ships built to aid in times of war against future threats. includes a cannon that either fires a MAC round, or a culmination of energy that allows a portal to form, leading to something i currently call "the endless" to travel between dimensions. inside, a fully livable, flying fortress. home, to 6 great warriors who are destined to save the multiverse as we know it.

this is taken straight from a google doc for a story im working on. hope it gets to be seen

Subreddit

A TRUE WORLDBUILDER PROCRASTINATES ALL DAY

r/worldjerking

Who knows what sick, twisted thoughts lurks in the hearts of worldbuilders? Worldjerking knows! A warning to all travellers: here be splitting rivers, elven subraces, original characters (do not steal), and magic systems... so many magic systems. Turn back now, or may God have mercy on your soul. tl;dr: this sub is for satirizing trends in the hobby of worldbuilding, as well as those within the broader speculative fiction community.

IMPORTANT RULES

Rule 0. Mod discretion always applies. We may remove something that is technically allowed under the rules if the team has good reason to believe it is detrimental to the community. Conversely, if something technically breaks the rules but we deem it beneficial to the community, we may choose to leave it up.
Rule 1. All submissions should be related to speculative fiction and worldbuilding. If it is not obvious that the joke posted is in any way actually related to worldbuilding or speculative fiction, it will be removed.
Rule 2. All submissions should be original. Do not post random memes you found elsewhere on the internet. Do not post random images you found on google images. Do not take 4chan memes and slightly retouch them. Do not take screencaps of random posts you found on reddit, twitter, instagram, facebook, or anywhere else.
Rule 3. Submissions and comments should not be used to attack or harass other users. This subreddit's primary purpose is to satirize and call out ideas and trends, not attack individual people. Therefore, it is not okay to make a post mocking another user's artistic skill or personal attributes (such as their gender or ethnicity). Satirization of another user should never be dehumanizing.
Rule 4. There are restrictions on NSFW jokes. Specifically, we don't want to see jokes that focus on pedophilia and child abuse, especially in a context that minimizes or normalizes it. We also don't want to see explicit porn or hentai. To some extent, this rule means that NSFW jokes are held to a higher standard of worldbuilding relevance and execution. If we can't see how the NSFW aspect adds to the joke, we're more likely to remove it.
Rule 5. Crossposting is allowed. Crossposting should be relevant to the hobby of worldbuilding or speculative fiction. There are two requirements to a crosspost: You must ping the original poster's reddit handle in a separate comment in the post, and the title of the crosspost must have your own spin/joke on it. You have the right to satirize people's work, but the author also has the right to know and respond to it.
Rule 6. Do not take or modify artwork posted by people on r/worldbuilding without the artist's permission. This includes via crossposting. You must approach the creator for explicit permission to reuse or transform their work for a joke on Worldjerking. Ping the artist in a comment if you post their work. If the artist doesn't give you permission to use their art and you still want to satirize it, you should get yourself acquainted with MS Paint.
Rule 7. Humor should be in good taste. It is possible to be funny without being vulgar, cruel, hostile or hateful. This is not the place to tear other people down under the guise of humor.
Rule 8. No advertising. This is not the place to advertise. We don't want to see your Patreon, Kickstarter, random survey, discord community or political cause. All advertisements will be removed. You may link an advertisement in the comments as part of casual conversation, where it's relevant to discussion. If you want to do a full advertisement submission, advertise it on the main sub.
Rule 9: You can satirize official mod announcements and distinguished/stickied posts. Those are fair game and the team can take a joke. But if you can't make at least one mod on the entire team laugh, we reserve the right to remove it. If someone chuckles, we can only respond with disapproval emojis and table flips. ಠ_ಠ The rules about humor in good taste and not harassing individuals still apply.
