What is an angst cookie?

During the course of your storyboard enjoyment, you may commit one of the biggest cardinal sins: Thou Shalt Not Be Melodramatic.

What does this mean? It means whining like a little girl about how sad and pitiful your character's life is. It means using phrases like "OH WOE" and saying things like "Infinite sadness of my black black soul." It means going on and on about how much the world your character lives on sucks, and how there is never any happiness or goodness and its always nighttime. (NOTE. The whitewolf board is exempt for the most part from the angst cookie rule, due to the fact that in order to enjoy ww, you have to make your character and his life as pathetic as possible, and whine with the rest of your little preppy goth friends. but I digress. -Asmo) If you DO over-dramatize something, don't worry. It takes a LOT to earn an OFFICIAL Forsaken Realms Angst cookie. You may never get one at all. They are very rare. However, if you DO somehow manage to make a post Sooooo gut-wrenching irritatingly over-dramatic that we throw up on our count chockula cereal when we read it, you may want to know what happens when you DO get an angst cookie:

1. First your post is copied and pasted, along with how many total angst cookies you have earned, on the "angst cookie recipient" page. You can get there from the main storyboard page.
2. You are then notified that you have received 1 or more angst cookies. This will probably be a public announcement in the Scrolls, since neither Milamber and I have the time to email you. Also, this will make you a source of public ridicule. Fun!
3. This, btw, is what an official Angst cookie looks like: don't be fooled by imitators.
4. That's really it, other than your post will be on that page until the end of time for everyone to read. Don't be surprised if you get laughed at by people you don't even know! YAY!
