Lovin' it. But also kinda creepy too...

start a permaculture project in the country with your friends
Dickweed
start a book club at the stop the old shopping mall from being demolished protest

I'm only asking for clarification as to what you mean by "Bellamy protest". As here this reads like a big whatever, the way you put it.

And just imagined you maybe put BF in the protest slot.

Jeez, chill everyone, i was only laughing at the expense of my imagination.

I like that choice. I like invitation to desertion and anarchist permaculture projects.

1. Fields, Factories and Workshops
2. Against The Fascist Creep
a. start Humanure distro and table at Public Restrooms
3. Fecal
4. Pooping

Start a sustainable Eat A Bourgeois Pet BBQ for homeless folk.

I see a major improvement over the first series, that I hated not just due to the cringey character names and conduct, but more importantly coz the story was likely just not evolving with reader's input, or at least giving more choice for input.

Now what could be done next time is to make a list of choices for every blank space, as default options if no one submits something better.

sadly there's been no improvement to your commenting

madlibs don't come with lists of choices, they're meant to encourage creativity, which you apparently lack

take your _______ (something that helps you from leaving pointless criticism) and consider _________ (thing you do instead of commenting here)

I read the first couple of these games but they didnt have enough options to make me want to participate, this one is pretty good: it actually borders on being too complicated lol.
