what is zzcxz?
zzcxz consists of user generated, fictional content. do not believe what you read, for it is not real and could be written by anyone.
zzcxz rules
all content posted to zzcxz MUST UNCONDITIONALLY follow these rules:
- no bigotry. do not use zzcxz to harass others.
- no graphic, sexual, or gross-out content
- interesting themes are fine, but avoid especially serious ones, e.g. mental health
these rules are still important but less so:
- be creative
- tell the story; do not submit non-sequitur nonsense
- maintain continuity between previous events; do not suddenly start telling a completely different story or try to retcon previous events.
by submitting content to zzcxz, you acquiesce it to the public domain. be warned that it may be copied arbitrarily.
if necessary, please report problematic content by sending an email to me (stuff@mondecitronne.com).
how do I edit/remove content?
once content is posted, it can only be modified by me (the site administrator). I will fix any obvious typos I find. if you want content edited/removed for other reasons, send me an email.
how does the markup work?
- each line becomes a paragraph.
- consecutive lines lines starting with space become code blocks (potentially useful for text chat logs or such).
-
surround text in square brackets to
[emphasize it as important]. -
type
#redirect <id>to bring the player back to an existing scene. replace<id>with the scene's id. the id of the scene is displayed in the log at the bottom in grey. -
type
#set <flagname>to set a "flag" when the player performs the action. -
type
#require <flagname>to require the player to have a flag set to perform the action. -
type
#unset <flagname>to unset a flag.
you can add /raw to the end of the URL of a scene to see its markup (on the lines starting with tab) (example). this feature can be used to implement third-party interfaces.
if you use special formatting, and you see the literal characters that you intend to use to invoke special formatting, you have an error in your formatting. for instance, you should never see "#REDIRECT" in the preview.
