You and your ban!

Hey, Johnny no-ban.


'Who, me?'

Yeah you! Look! Right here!


'Woah, what's up?'

Do you know what day it is today?!


'Thursday?'

No! It's Ban Day!


'What's a ban? Some kind of gay pride festival?'

You mean you don't know what a ban is? Well then, please, allow me to explain.

Hi, I'm Joachim. And I'm here to explain to you the many pleasures of the ban. What's a ban, you ask? Well, a ban is like playing a game backwards, meaning that it's the complete opposite of playing. Where playing is expensive, formal and uncool, being banned is wild and whacky. You can't tell someone who's banned what to do! If playing the game is Judy Dench:



then being banned is the cast of the first series of Skins, minus the gay one:



When you're banned, you're encouraged to restart with many, many multi accounts, hang around unwanted on external forums, be a dick on IRC and whine. You know, it's all good. Posting pictures of a shemale in 'messages to Plato'? Sure. Spamming a certain Singaporean with four thousand 'I lik your style' messages? Go for it! DOS'ing your national forums? You betcha!

Basically, being banned is all about letting loose and having a good time. So bring a couple of CPs down with you, tonight! Bring a friend! I guess you could make a BANd of merry men!


'Well... should I bring a date?'

Woah-ho-ho! Well I'm sure you wouldn't have a problem getting a date, you foxy one you. And by all means, go for it. Make a night of it! But just one note. Being banned is a casual affair. So leave the tuxedo avatar at home.


'So what SHOULD I wear?'

Think of it this way. When you're banned, you can't change your avatar! So make sure you have something to be remembered by! It can't be so lewd it will get removed, but it's got to be catchy. Make it bright and colourful, and meaningful to those you know. Just mix, match and be creative.


'Woah! I look AWESOME!'

You sure do! Now get ready, and prepare for your ban!

Hey... what's wrong?


'I never learnt how to get banned before...'

Don't worry! I can help! Just say anything realistic related to the quality of the administration of this game! That should be sure to get you kicked out of here!


'This is awesome!'

So, how was it?


'It was awesome! I'm definitely getting banned again soon! Thank you, Joachim, for teaching me all about the wonderful thing called ban!'

No problem, Johnny! And remember, there's a new way to get banned for each and every one of you out there!
