Chichester Cross Puns

Hi all,

I thought I'd share my (mostly) unedited results from playing this game. Pretty interesting although I am not sure I have the imagination needed to really capitalize on the system of this game.

I basically just copied this in here from the google doc I was using while I played today. I made some light edits to make verb tenses consistent but other than that this is basically what I wrote as I played, although I did (between journal entries) keep track of what prompt it was and which order (so for instance I'd write something like 15. Prompt 31 - #2 or something like that. I removed those from the text below.

Below the journal I have my character record - skills (crossed out means 'lost', X preceding means checked), resources, the diary, memories, and so on. I preserved 'lost' memories for reference at the bottom. There weren't that many actually (I imagine other playthroughs result in more of these and more disjunction between current events and forgotten memories).

If you have any questions, I'd be happy to discuss this unusual game!

JOURNAL

Deirdre is horrified to discover what I have become, but loves me and wants to help me. She tells me about a old witch, several towns away, that she always assumed was just a rumor but perhaps is true now that she has seen what I am. She finds directions to the old woman and gives them to me.

As I travel to meet the old woman, I sense that I have picked up somehow the mannerisms and language that Declan was displaying. How could I have become this way just by what he did? I don’t understand.

The old woman is named Maeve and, surely enough, she is in fact a witch with some ability in magic. She is immediately impressed with me but rather than help me she pledges herself to me - whatever I need. At first, this irritates me greatly and I feel the urge to feed on her growing, but realize this is what she wants. I also am clinging to the possibility of becoming human again, so that I may return to Deirdre.

When the urge to feed becomes great, I get in the habit of instead focusing on my humanity and writing in my Diary. I ordered Maeve to find me a book for this purpose, which takes her a week; books are not readily available. She finally returned with a coarse, loose sheaf of parchment and a bag of charcoal and pen tips. Somehow I inherited the ability to write from Declan also.

A very long time has passed. Some time in the 1200s the land around Dublin has been divided up by local ba

I guess the concept didn't work

Every Wednesday here on r/ForestofBowland and r/Ribblevalley we look at some of the other regional subreddits around the British isles, with the idea of compiling a kind of A to Z, this week we’ve chosen r/Hull, the sub for the maritime city of Hull.

Hull

For U we chose r/Hull, the subreddit for Hull, or Kingston upon Hull, to give the city it’s full name, a maritime city on the north shore of the Humber estuary, about 25 miles upstream from where it meets the North sea. The city began its life as a port in the 12th century when it was used by the Cistercian monks of Meaux abbey to export wool, and was given city status in 1897, more recently in 2017 the city was awarded U.K. city of culture.

This new found identity led to the government investing over £1 billion in infrastructure and since then the city, which had suffered a period of decline due to collapse of both the main industries of manufacturing and fishing, has gone through a bit of a renaissance, with hotels, bars, conference centres and more being built and the city’s student population climbing to over 16,000 due to the success of Hull University.

The port of Hull remains as busy as ever, handling over a million passengers a year which pass through to the ports of Zeebrugge and Rotterdam in the Netherlands, it has also become the focus for the expanding wind farms of the North sea.

Just up the Humber from the docks the striking, angular prow of The Deep can be seen jutting out over the water, this building, opened in 2002, houses a unique aquarium and marine research centre, dubbed a ‘submarium’ as it is partially submerged in the seawater surrounding it, in which can be seen over 3,500 species of sea-life including sharks, rays, cephalopods and Europe’s only captive pair of Green Sawfish.

Teignmouth

r/Teignmouth is the subreddit for the Devon town of Teignmouth, a coastal town situated on the mouth of the river Teign about 12 miles south of Exeter, it is a handsome little town with long sandy beaches surrounded by the verdant rolling countryside which makes Devon so attractive to tourists, it is also only a few miles away from Dartmoor National Park.

There is a Victorian pier in Teignmouth, Teignmouth Grand Pier, which is over 150 years old and has many of the traditional rides and games which it would have had originally and some more modern ones such as a F1 style cart racing track! The seafront also has a heated lido which w

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

r/unclejokes for dirty jokes

r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC

r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes

Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub

Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat

Do your worst!

How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?

Mathematical puns makes me number

Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.

But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

They were cooked in Greece.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

Now that I listen to albums, I hardly ever leave the house.

Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"

Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"

Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

And now I’m cannelloni

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

But that’s comparing apples to oranges

And boy are my arms legs.

Put it on my bill

Heard they've been doing some shady business.

but then I remembered it was ground this morning.

Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale

Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments

BamBOO!

They’re on standbi

A play on words.

Calcium, nickel, neon

My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.

They just don’t work!

Pilot on me!!

Nothing, he was gladiator.

The bartender says, "Sorry, no minors”

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
