I realize this isn't actually #2, but it's my second go. Last one was just about 6 mo. ago and spam is once again active enough. [url=https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1T_Wgn5QCTFz8nHkVoox8nhIco2tja5FJJIUEayETJ3k/viewform]>>Click Here<<[/url] I promise I will do my best to post all results that fall within the guidelines of the forum. Eat your hearts out! [hider=1-50]1. nargle smeels 2. that cake looks so delicious oh god now i have to go get food THANKS DAVID [b](I thought it would feel welcoming :/)[/b] 3. Doivid is a butt.

[b](please be Alex...no wait, I don't get bummed, I do the bumming!)[/b] 6. Spam still thinks I'm a girl. :hehe: [b](that's some mean feat on an anonymous forum, JORICK)[/b] 7. I think Darthwarman is much more entertaining and a better person than any of you. [b](Not a whiff of bitterness here)[/b] 8. Galuk 9. I am Nat's alt 10. Everyone still thinks I'm Asian, I love my fake-accent and insomnia. [b](alpha?)[/b] 11. I thought the cake in the confession submission image was a hat with flowers on it until #2 said it was a cake. 12. I've masturbated to just about everyone's avatar at least once. [b](I'd be super impressed if you managed it with mine too)[/b] 13. "Guru's super secret alt account!" 4 modz! [b](I totally know who this is....[i]jorick[/i])[/b] 14. Jorick has smeely feet 15. The name of Guru's super secret alt account is [CENSORED] 16. Nex isn't a very good person. 17. Life is like a life; it lives life like life's rife with life worth living, while living life's strifes like a life striven to be a livin'. 18.I typed up a confession but then I replaced it with this. (: 19. There needs to be a Doivid x Guru x Alex love triangle. 20. I pretend to hate all the attention and priase I get from spam but I actually love it and crave it :/ 21. I made a forum for the spammers to mess around in. The thing was that on this forum I wanted to see what would happen if they all joined... As Admins. What wouldbe made? What would be ruined? would it work? Would it break? Whe would they do what they would do? What could they do when they all would fight eachother for control? IDK 22. [long charlie chaplin speech] [b](saw that in a ron paul ad back in 2012 lol)[/b] 23. [long ass LOTR captions] [b](wot a trole)[/b] 24. TBH the commentary on the confessions is pretty lame. [b](okay...[i]Jorick[/i])[/b] 25 .David, shut up, I only sent in #1 and #6. - Jorick [b](I don't believe it's really you, jorick)[/b] 26. I think that the desire to roleplay indicates a significant character flaw, and we as a group are essentially the equivalent of a bunch of aspies hugging and slapping in the smelly room down the hall. 27. lel omg i serketly luv sherlock and sophi and squee and nargle and smiral and basicly any1 who has titys and givs me attenshun on da internets!!!! There, I already did the lame love confession thing and covered all the relevant bases, now everyone can hopefully fuck off with their lame neckbeard love confessions. [b](you had to know it would never be that easy)[/b] 28. Doivid/Guru/Alex Doirex Doilu Aloiru Alurvid Guvex Galvid we need to establish the fandom's name 29. The cake actually does look like a hat, oh my god. 30. I'm legal now but I didn't post about it because I figured you'd all make it gross. [b](good thinking)[/b] 31. I have a third nipple. 32. Nex is not a good person. 33. I know you're probably going to censor this or not post it, but I fjucking inhabit The Nexus and Draco Malfoy. They're both huge pillows of lovemoney and I would be happy if they serenated me. [b](sry but u kno I have to, guild rules)[/b] 34. I think Awson posted dolphin tits because he purposely wants to be banned. What a nerd. 35. I know who the wolf is 36. I would very much like to engage in carnal relations with Smiral. This is no confession of love, only of primal and bestial lust. [b](I've heard this is exactly how to win her heart, too)[/b] 37. Elendra makes me happy inside. :3 [b](well I heard she likes to drug people without them knowing, so that makes sense)[/b] 38. Nex is a cool guy [b](good, fair and balanced)[/b] 39.

I once got a nosebleed and tried to use the blood as a self-gratification (you're welcome for the self censoring Doivid) aid. It didn't work very well, but I finished. [b](greeneggsandsam?)[/b] 42. Nex is a poopface. [b](shut up nurgle)[/b] 43. Were I to write a song Would it be wrong To sing it day and night With not a fear in sight? Will you judge my way When all it is I say Is that of all of you There is not one I'd not sing to? 44. Guru is a tyrannical dictator that needs to be forcibly removed from power. [b](spread da werd)[/b] 45. Nex is just the biggest stinky pineapple salad that ever happened to gorge itself on the poopy feces of a bloated toilet shoved full of dirty diapers that have aid kits and bee hives and stuff that ever drooled a pennyloafer spittle down a periwinkle fart. He's basically a basket of hyphenated onion rings with a side order of nerd. If I had to pick one bucket of tobacco sauce in the field to punt into orbit, it would be Nex and his little frilly tutu laced weeny pants too. [b](--a representative sample of 1v1 cybering on the site known as Roleplayerguild)[/b] 46. I have been campaigning against myself for the last two years, trying to get myself to commit suicide. [b](that takes dedication)[/b] 47. I take back what I said about the commentary. 48. No-one likes trains who won't commit to surgery. You know who you are. 49. http://dogeminer.se/ i've wasted two hours so far help me please [b](I know of a substitute to help wean you off it: [url=http://orteil.dashnet.org/cookieclicker/]) [/b] 50. lmao mdk has no eggo waffles rofl [/hider] [hider=51-100] 51. I will now list various spammers that I like and would like to see more activity from: Sherlock Holmes, Elendra, Alex, Darog the Badger God, and Jster. [b](all but 2 of them are regularly, consistently active, so is this more like a list of general faves?)[/b] 52. i really like the chibi!Guru set, it's adorbs 53.I'm in the middle of hunting Mahz's address so that I can go to his place and help/pester him for a guild update. Too bad spam's is so distracting and I can't focus to do it. 54. Trix, celery, and some other food item tried to tape Brooke Shields once via TC, it was creepy and weird. 55.I thought I was pregnant like a month ago and nearly went to the hospital because I had a panic attack. I was freaking out for like 3 days before I got my period. I've never been so happy to wake up with bloody panties. [b](we get one of these every time)[/b] 56. Hi~ :D [img=http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/sarahvma/1542277/120444/120444_600.jpg]" 57. What the fuck did 45 say before you censored it? [b](hey fucker, you wanna know what the fuck 45 said?! Do you really want to? First you gotta get the fuck over here and get naked. also it was basically identical except I took out 2 words that were potentially hate speech. All the other goofy insults were, in fact, not my creation, sry2say. they're very inventive)[/b] 58. Turtlicious should post a sex tape of him and brose -- Said no-one ever, stop talking about your sex life in skype turt. 59. stop asking me questions [b](can't stop, won't stop)[/b] 60. GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! 61. Sometimes I want to stick my flesh into a rose for gratification. Idk, roses look like genitals to me. 62.

My name is Turtlicious, and everything is my fault. [b](progress)[/b] 65. I don't know when it happened, but I realized recently that I've become okay with not having any IRL friends. It doesn't really bother me anymore. [b](doesn't sound like a good place to be, don't let yourself get all discouraged or apathetic)[/b] 66. @53 narrow your search to central south-eastern texas 67. Hey. @63. What. @64. Mhm. 68. I did something similar to #41 once. I was 13 and just found out about wanking, and one time I tried it with my own urine as lube. It wasn't very effective and I didn't actually finish. Young me was pretty stupid. [b](good god)[/b] 69. I think AreYouMyMummy was alright, and the people who trolled her in that abomination of a thread are all awful. You should be ashamed of yourselves. [b](a little bit yeah, but she was trolling us a fair bit too, particularly by ignoring the non-argumentative responses. Perhaps it was stress, but there was definitely some trolling in there)[/b] 70. @66/53, No, don't look at Texas. He's moving to Mexico, already traveling down there currently but he doesn't have a permanent address down there yet. [b](who are you people, why are you doxing him)[/b] 71. Turt is a fedora-loving neckbeard, but he was infected by social justice warrior nonsense so he's an awful hybrid of the two. It's gross. [b](oh come on now)[/b] 72. I'm glad neither Turt nor Nex know where I live. I'd be very uncomfortable if they did. 73. Nex has lesbian hair, pass it on. 74. I stopped obsessively pulling my hair out a few months ago. I had been doing it for about three years. It's why I disappeared from spam, more or less. 75. I can change my facial hair, you can't really stop being a rap artist from canada, Nex. <3 76. Jorick is a narcissistic cunt who needs to get over himself. [b](I think Jorick can handle this being said about him, it can stay!)[/b] 77. that's not very nice to lesbians 73 no one should be compared to nex 78. Nex is the next Mr. Rogers, someone please make sure he lives next to a sweater factory. 79. Pineapples are the most metal fruit, because they digest you back. Also they have spikes. 80. [img]http://i.imgur.com/5gsVslC.gif[/img] 81. Protip: Never start a story with "I never raped anyone, but..." 82. Hey Nex, do you want to do me in the butt? I really want you to do me in the butt. 83. Who even cares about Turt or Nex tho? Let's get some fresh material in this bitch. [b](well said!)[/b] 84. Wait are turt and nex not the same person? I always thought they were this confessions stuff is confusing me 85.Turtle, yes I do. 86. I have a lot of troll fantasies, all sorts of daydreams about me assaulting the sensibilities of random old people online. Like really wacky and convoluted ones that kinda scare me. I'm scheduled to see a psychiatrist on Friday and I'm worried about what he'll find wrong with me. =/ [b]("failure to thrive as a trole")[/b] 87. >not here for earlier bans >gets made an example of for ""continuing"" bad behavior. Guru plz. This is like my second strike maximum. How about 48 hours? Sound good? I have a Rabbit Doubt to do >.< 88. Most of these confessions suck. Get it together, Spam. - Jorick [b](shut up you narcissistic cunt)[/b] 89. hahaha, you put my address down into the anon confession? I guess you're really mad at my mad boip***y game. Maybe, if you ask nicely, I'll let you into mine. Idk, better say please. 90. Fuck you, David. - Jorick [b](turt already did and he told me you were no good, lolz)[/b] 91. Hey 87/Awson, stfu, you've been around long enough to know dolphin tits are a banworthy offense. Take your ban like a man. - Jorick 92. Into my poker game, not into my pokey. That would be weird, I have a "No stalker's in my pokey" rules - Turtle 93. Doivid, fill in the blanks to make a good confession, kthx. [b](OK)[/b] Hello Spam, I am a car. I have to confess my deep and abiding love for my trunk. I think about junk in it every waking hour, and the empty space haunts my dreams. Please, trunk, tell me you feel the same, and you shall have my junk forever more. 94. You know what's great? Because I'm friends with a couple of mods, I can talk smack to people and get away with it. You know very well who this is but you can't prove a thing because I can easily deny everything. [b](someone who rails against the mods and their friends, no doubt. I can think of a few people who fit your accusation and who fit this confession, but idk things don't seem controversial enough for that anymore. so this is dated! lol)[/b] 95. @87 go away entitled poop head 96. i'm sup3r 3dgy w@tch our or 1'll b0mb ur s1t3! l0l [b](you've won me over)[/b] 97. [img]http://i.imgur.com/H10X3rQl.jpg[/img] 98. [img]http://i.imgur.com/B9RU2XO.gif[/img] 99. At 91/Jorick. I'll take it. Just trying to make sure it's not super long. Got things to do. GOT things to do. I could say more but I have a ban to shut up for. [b](go on)[/b] 100. [img]http://i.imgur.com/NGf6RZcl.png[/img] [/hider] [hider=101-150] 101.

Anti-Gay? [b](my sister thought so, but she's a mega hipster white girl, she'd fit right in on the cast of Girls. So what I'm getting at is no)[/b] 102. @99 Should have thought of that beforehand :hehe People think I'm really liberal and stuff, and I am in most things, but homosexuality is wrong and I just can't support gay marriage. Not because of religious stuff, it's wrong because it goes against basic biology. We shouldn't really be supporting mutations that are evolutionary dead ends. [b](take a few upper division evolutionary bio classes to learn how it really works, also gr8 b8 m8 i r8 it 8/8)[/b] 103. Fill in the milkshakes, please. I can't think of what to put in them. A toad loads pillows mightily high and low, but is sad; he doesn't know what pillows are or why. [b](so sorry, I forgot to fill this in the first time)[/b] 104. Anyways, I'm going to go be a sex haver / job haver and go to bed. Because of my job and sex. Ollie Outtie - Turtlicious [b](shut up turt)[/b] 105. I hate cats. [b](I hate cat videos, does that count)[/b] 106.i'm really sad there was only half a season of firefly (yeah i'm only a decade late sue me) [b](I am in fact putting the paperwork in to sue you as I type this)[/b] 107. I sometimes think Tripz wants to do me in the pooper. [b](Unless you're Brand/Paul, probably not. Don't let your heart be swayed by my teasing ways, for my boner bones for only a very few, the rest I just ironically hit on to bug them)[/b] 108. [img]http://i.imgur.com/5aPZH.jpg[/img] [b](I remember this from like 5 years ago)[/b] 109. Why aren't you posting my confessions? Stop protecting the cunt, I'm sure his feeble ass heart can take the shit I'm throwing. [b](yes that's clearly what it is, it's not that it's explicitly against the rules or all of that poppycock. Dude, post it on 4chin, there's all kinds of hate threads for you in /lgbt/)[/b] 110. I've recently come to terms with the fact that I'm gay, and now I'm trying to think of how best to come out to my very conservative religious parents. Why do people have to be jerks about sexuality and make this kind of thing difficult? [b](Idk because we're very linear thinkers. If this is legit and not trolololo, pm me or some shit. I won't tell you to run out of the closet with 50 sex toys or fuck someone in front of your parents just in case that's a concern. If nothing else, I'll listen)[/b] 111. #109 likes penis, pass it on. [b](what a condemnation!)[/b] 112. Not counting this one, I have sent in 26 confessions that got posted in this thread. Most of them were total bullshit. I'm not even sorry. [b](well I, for one, am shocked)[/b] 113. To tell the truth? If I was legitimately asked to be a mod, I'd probably do it. Still wouldn't want to do it though. Probably get kicked off the roster for not doing anything by month 4 though. 114. i liek pie xP 115. @6 OMG SHERLOCK WHY!? 116. It feels really great to have no negative confessions for a change. 117. @28 It's totally Durex. 118. You're a good guy Tripz, we should talk more. [b](hit me up!)[/b] 119. Coffee is terrible. Chamomile tea ftw. [b](I agree)[/b] 120. [b]Where does the confessin end, and the commaentary begin? (here poop face)[/b] 121. @107 commentary. I THOUGHT WE HAD SOMETHING! [b](We'll always have last weekend)[/b] 122. Telling your parents stuff sucks, I've been trying to tell them about my problems for two years now. 123. Dear Overwatch, I'd feel awkward about contacting you in person in case I was wrong but I do hope you are reading this. I may be wrong but I think you're actually struggling with putting yourself out there by posting, and when you do post it's either something bitter or something that self defines as a lurker and thus is probably self deprecating. I've been where I believe you are now, and I honestly think you need to stop with denial. You have so much to contribute, I'd really like to see more of you and it's such a shame to think you could be where I've been. If you want to talk, maybe you should contact Tripz, or post something and then I'll contact you. Hope you're okay man. [b](I agree)[/b] 124. I remember greeting Sherlock when she first arrived at the guild, have I really been here that long? [b](me too, she got popular a little too fast smh)[/b] 125. Y'all pussies. We need a public confession thread. [b](somewhat purpose defeating imo)[/b] 126. I maintain that Mtn is autistic. [b](he's a kid and I acted like a total dumbshit, sometimes even worse. Give him time to figure himself out)[/b] 127. Stupidity is no justification for cruelty. [b](definitely not, but willful ignorance is a very tempting target)[/b] 128. [youtube]oZ0lqK9bXcg[/youtube] 129. Hope you don't like hotdogs. [youtube]2NzUm7UEEIY#t=20[/youtube] Love Nat 130.

[youtube]5LNHYz89sNc[/youtube] Typical day in spam. 136. [img]http://www.nightmare-fuel.com/masticating-baby-thing/[/img] Feed me spam, feed me. 137. Jorick needs to be a mod. Or at least be named The Scourge Of Spam and be given ban powers. 138.Gay Jesus died for AIDS relief funds 139. The Badger God, cometh. 140. I remember my first beer. 141. I think Darog is a fuckin stupid sexy loser and he should get plowed by my rusty drill. Such a fuckin tart. 142. Remember Seba? Me neither. 143. Smiral, you piece of shit. 144. It's time I came out to you all… I'm straight. [b](this is me. what a tweest! No jk but I am bi tho)[/b] 145. I still think Primez is kind of adorable. [b](I always thought so)[/b] 146. If I was in charge of the country I would close our borders, minimize relations with other nations, implement population control, and replace our penal systems with gladiatorial combat. [b](woah there /pol/)[/b] 147. Help! I'm an American exchange student stuck in a weird haunted school in Japan! There's zombies with hammers running around killing people, evil spirits, and earthquakes happen all the time! There's nothing to eat! Nothing to drink! The students are eating each other! There are bones and bloody corpses everywhere! People screaming for help! The name of the school is "Heavenly Host Elementary School". Please, take me out! Help us! Help us! Help us! Help us! Help us! [b](wot)[/b] 148. You're a worthless piece of shit Smiral, and if I stood in you I'd have to buy a new pair of shoes. But I'd still totally bang you. [b](touche)[/b] 149. Smiral is a piece of shit. Now will you fuck me? [b](both clever [i]and[/i] original)[/b] 150. I hate that Doivid never has an avatar. It's always a broken image. [b](thank you for saying this, it's because of fans like you that I can continue my work)[/b] [/hider] 151. Sometimes I look at my toes, and then I think, "Wtf toes, why are you mutated fingers?" [b](Do you ever verbally abuse your toes for not being as dexterous as your fingers?)[/b] 152. [youtube]B3IM09tcK8U[/youtube] 153. I actually can't stand Guru. I wish he had vanished during Guild Fall. How is he even a mod? How do people even like him? He's a spoiled, self-entitled buntcake. Can I just bake him? [b](He's definitely polarizing. But he grew on me after I got to know him a bit)[/b] 154. When you smoke the herb, it reveals you to yourself. [b](Could be. Last time I had some I laid down all this harsh criticism on myself and couldn't stop all night)[/b] 155. Trippy, you're not so bad but sometimes your cheerfulness feels forced so don't feel like you have to be nice and happy and please everyone all the time. Your constant niceness kinda creeps me out sometimes tbh. [b](At worst it's ironic, but honestly I can be bretty grumpy/sharp when I'm on here. Moreso in newguild, so idk what you mean. However, the last part kind of makes me want to do it more, ngl)[/b] 156. Crack is whack. Cocaine is expensive. Weed is just right for me 157. I can find a way to make almost anything that benefits me sound selfish in my head. I'm disgusted with myself the majority of the time, and it's extremely draining. [b](I can see how it would be. Give yourself the benefit of doubt!)[/b] 158. *pretty grumpy [b](That was not a typo, ye grummy sloot)[/b] 159. {quote} 160. [hider=weeeeeeeeee 161. Y'all be crazy [b](>implyign)[/b] 162. Dayman! Fighter of the Night Man! Champion of the Sun! You're a master of karate and friendship for everyone! Dayman! AAHAAAAHAA! Fighter of the Night Man! AAHAAAAHAA! Champion of the Sun! AAHAAAAAHAA! You're the master of karate and friendship for everyone! 163. Holmi is such a prissy applesauce vagina vagrant with a pistachio glaze up his itty bitty widdle baby butt. Holmi's writing is like what you get when as if you do. Like if you took his words and put them on a canvas and stuck that canvas in a pinata and put that pinata in a baby people would beat the baby with tongs and pickled bell peppers in order to make sure that the amputated holindaise would just go pew pew pew into the heavens. If I had to pick one or three potato farms to make sure never saw the next pair of poopy I'd pick Holmi's all national diarhea medicinal hemp farm the most with those sticky escalator backdoors. Gosh. 164. Oh Doitripz, give me some tips, I want to know who to follow! Who do you trust, beneath their rust, To hold their place as Spam's firm brace? 165. Elendra my dear, calm your fear, We'll not make you disappear. You, our heart, shall not be torn apart, For without you there's nought to do! 166. Dafrog's in his den, soft as a hen, Ready to strike with his fiery pike! Take your pride, don't you hide, Your love to brawl is our call. 167. I still grieve for my sister every so often, but luckily I have people to talk that keep my mind off of it. Great Gat, I wonder if Your will can stand the command Of timeless beasts with hellish feasts Whose tendrils shake the sky's dark lake. 168. Any suggestions on where I should buy a kitchen sink? I have a feeling the guild would be a great place to figure this out. [b]([url=http://www.justmfg.com/green[/url])[/b] 169. Smoke weed every day is what you say But good ol' Querzbone is full grown. He know now the things to disavow And we'll watch him with eyes not dim 170. NatsumeHack is coming back With more fuel than a demon's drool! Don't you run or he'll have fun Chasing you down with his hellish hounds! 171.What do you fear, that makes you run from here? What do you see, that makes you scared of me? I'm sitting here alone but can I not atone? The sins I have suffered, are many but are smothered. I can be good if you'll give me food. Let me eat and my love will meet With the clouds in the sky and God up high! Whatever you can give to let me live Is more than I can ask behind this starving mask! Will you show me mercy, or will you turn to flee? What do you see, that makes you scared of me? What do you fear, that makes you run from here? 172. Auto-Fellate. 173. Someone should make an anonymous questions thread like someone did during the last confessions wave, because those were a lot better than this nonsense. Direct questions asked to members of spam are a lot more fun than random hate and spite and stupidity. [b](go for it!)[/b] 174. Dolphin tits aren't Smiral's fault. I posted the gif first, not realizing it was ban worthy. Smiral was banned and became known for it because she spammed it so many times. No one ever traced its original presence in Spam back to me, though. A shame all that's lost now, eh? :hehe 175. Spam is a lie, it's one guy posting through several different accounts and I want to date him. [b](Okay...[i]KB[/i])[/b] 176. My contribution to human evolution is sending selfies of random strangers to other strangers so they can procreate through cyberspace and not know it. 177. these confessions are so disappointing. what a waste of lube. [b](I'm enuff 4 u babby)[/b] 178. If any of you elect Nat for mod, I will rent a van, and drive wherever it takes to fucking murder you. 179. so this is the cake everyones talking about 180. my land lord is kicking us out of our house next month and i have no idea where im going to go. i just want to slip into a coma for a few months and let people sort out stuff. im too stressed. too depressed. and too overall terrible to just continue. [b](That's rough, I know how that goes...Don't check out though, it'll only end up worse. I'm sorry that you feel so bad though.)[/b] 181. I can't think of anyone more likely to be the one berating Guru in these threads other than Turt. There aren't many other off-the-rails, eats-bans-like-honeybuns, piss-fueled, hate-mongers roaming around Spam right now that would hold a grudge against the moderation team. 182. I always wanted to open up more to the other spammers though I fear that when I do they'd mistake me for complaining and disregard me completely. I don't want to waste other people's times by explaining my deeper issues. Most members think I'm usually happy and always joking though in truth I just pretend all the bad things never exist and try to live in my own little world, believing that nothing is or will ever go wrong until it's too late. Even though I always smile, in the end of the day I have nothing left but that and you guys and maybe my family every now and then.
