Okay, lobsterbacks, time to get to another colonization!! Let's do the ideas thing first, as this week's article has plenty of opportunity to stray from the typical encyclopedic tone that some of you seem unsatisfied with. Let's have some fun! SirGerrycheeversGunTalk 15:46, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Please tell me that by "10-year-old 'suxxor' shit," you're referring to the fact that the phrase itself is 10 years old, and not that only 10-year-olds use it.

Me idea

How about an article where the narrator (is that the right name?) is trying to explain to reader about "you" but keeps on getting sidetracked into talking about himself. A lot?? Nameable • mumble? 18:29, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Suggestion

Just an idea, but maybe the project could get together once a month to collaberate on creating a new article from scratch? There's plenty to choose from on Uncyclopedia:Incomplete List of Basic Articles, Uncyclopedia:Requested Articles and Special:Wantedpages. MadMax 09:18, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

And there is the timeline thing.. Also, most colonizations take us at least two weeks, sometimes three or even four weeks, so the once a month isn't practical. Also also, creating new article is the job of the nazi bastards. But thanks for your suggestions, Mr. Admin Colour Sig For Make Mahm00shA Look Cool 09:26 June 25 '09

Wait... We should use {{USERNAME|SOME RANDOM NAME}} instead of plain {{USERNAME}}. For the IPS's sake. Mr Zhe-mel-talki-signe-singaporel-bling ^Brute! 04:34, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Laugh out loud

I see you guys took my Craptacular intro and ran with it. I only put that up there to get something on the page to get us going, but now that I think about it, I kinda like this angle. I'm thinking maybe we could turn it into a sort of "Shut the fuck up and write an article" page instead of the tired old {{USERNAME}} page. Sort of like UN:N except it'll be for drama, do you know what I mean? Or maybe this whole idea is stupid. What do you think? -OptyC Sucks! CUN14:41, 26 Jun

I think we trim down the USERNAME section and keep it the last section. Believe me, it KILLS noobs from fear. That was why I started this section in the first place. And I wrote an HTML comment of it, too :) Colour Sig For Make Mahm00shA Look Cool 14:46 June 26 '09

It's replacing every single "you" with <insert name here> that ticks me off. I thought we could have just a section dedicated to <insert name here>

Maybe, but I like the first part better. It's got that "NO U" feel that kinda tickles me. I'm thinking the whole thing could be a back and forth between two "yous" (I just invented the pluralization of you!) about how you should get to work. In my mind it'd be ironic that way when somebody uses it against drama whores. I.E. "My article is blah blah blah and it's not fair!" "You should shut up." See what I'm getting at? -OptyC Sucks!

What exactly the hell is this "Shut the fuck up, Opty," business. I know that Opty was saying something about how he was so drunk, but I thought it was a joke and I thought Socky's response was a joke. What I didn't realize was that some douchebag would create a "Shut the fuck up, Opty" forum to flame a perfectly innocent page. In fact, thos should definitely just becaume a general Uncyclopedia forum because this is now the hot-spot to start random flame wars that don't even make sense.

Wrap-up

OK, fellas, I'm real sorry about letting this one run for so long (much like the last ten or so colonizations), but I'm turning over a new leaf as your official leader with sys gone again, so expect much stricter monitoring of all aspects of colonization. Anyway, I like much of what we have here, but we need to wrap up everything nicely in the next day or so. I will therefore react to the article as it stands now, and try to think of some things we need to knock off before we move onto our next glorious victory.

So...I like the first part of the article very much, what with the arguing with itself and the general idea of two editors telling each other to go and write an article. I think the normal text / italic text to differentiate between arguers works well in the beginning, but the line begins to blur after a while. i think to make that line sharp and defined, we should give both characters an equal amount of dialogue, and try to use different tones for each (kind of aggressive and overbearing for the plain text guy, kind of defensive and pithy for the italic guy, maybe).

I think the first two sections are strong, but the content after that seems to slip into a bit of randomness, what with the being ice cream and kissing trees. i I think we should stick with a straight-up argument as an essay. Also, the references to famine and whatnot need to go, as it's pretty severely frowned upon to toss user names into an article.

Another problem was the arguing over features, and the constant urging of the reader to go feature this article. that's a good way to assure this article won't get featured. If, instead of 'I have 99 features', we used something less specific like 'My writings have earned over 87% approval by the uncyclopedia board of humor and tourism', this essay would seem much less feature-centric and more focused on good writing, which is the message we should be trying to express.

As far as things we need to add, i can think of two. 1)images. We need more images! Should we use the time magazine one as the main image? Please bring images here before adding them. 2)links. We have basically no links in this article. Let's link to some awesome articles!

Alright, let's polish this one off, and hopefully we can get started on kicking ideas around for our next colonization by midweek. SirGerrycheeversGunTalk 16:47, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Can I throw a little something something into the mix? No. Oh, all right then... Pup 22:46, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

This could be you after you complete that Pulitzer prize winning article.

This is what could be yours if only you would finish writing that wonderful witty article.

What, you mean you were joking? Because of the whole anybody can edit this kind of thing I can make an edit here. Wow! Okay, what is the motivation for writing well if we cull the feature worthy thing from the mix? Okay, the main motivations to becoming a successful writer are:

1. Writer groupie sex
2. Ummm.... nope, that's about drained me on that one.nc

So why don't we have the images what you won't be getting if you fail to be a wonderful successful writer type person. As well as the stereotype tweed jacket pipe smoking writer type. Much like the examples I've already stuck here.

As for links, this is all centred around writing the ego-inflating concept of winning that wonderful feeling of respect and admiration that people who get featured article status apparently get. I wouldn't know about that. so why not have this flick back to the Bible of all writing on Uncyclopedia, HTBFANJS, as well as the potential objection "What can I write about?" being answered by this, this and that. Also throw in the ego stroking WotM, BEST, and whatever else you can think of.

The other minor thing that I would suggest, which would probably end up being so bloody subtle that no-body gets it, but have the italicised voice speaking in UK English and the main voice speaking in American English. Pup 23:15, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Agreeing with Gerry, I think I'm going to nuke the baseball bat and branding sections. Also, I think having the italicized sections in UK english and the main voice Proper English (=P) is a fantastic idea. Maybe we could have the colonizers from the UK write the appropriate sections while the US colonizers write the others? -OptyC Sucks! CUN14:55, 16 Jul

That is the most retarded thing I have ever heard. Yes, they can be douchebags sometimes, but if AdolfGerry Hitler is going to come along with bad grammar and some midweek imperial colonisarion saying we need to wrap our stuff up, WE NEED SYS BACK!!! Actually, I have bad news for you, Gerry. We have sys with us, even Socky himself! And we will push you off of Uncyclopedia, Gary. So let the flaming begin!

Listen, Gerry, I flamed this forum und my IP address. That was a few hours ago, beofre I got an account. I then found out what Imperial Colonization was. I'm sorry I was attacking and spamming.

On other note, as you know, I'm still newbie here. Plus I'm entering the Noob Contest. So I was wondering...can I enroll for the Imperial Colonization?

Come on Socky, you're coming with me! To Der Unwehr! |Si Plebius Dato' (Sir) Joe ang Kemador CUN|IC Kill | 05:56, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

I believe everybody has a right to a voice, despite their race, creed, colour or mental capacity. However I also believe that an opinion, unless it is backed by reasoning, logic, or fact, is only a small step away from stupidity. So for an opinion of "YOU SUCK IMPERIAL COLONISATION!" it might be advisable to give a reason. Or stay looking like a nonce. Pup TIME 06:04, 16/07/2009

Are tou fucking kidding me? Somebody would be out of their mind support imperial colonisarion and "wrap up" Uncyclopedia. Gerry is retarded. We need to flame this forum, then tell Gerry that we still have sys and get the douchebag off of Uncyclopedia! Just stay off our site if you're going to fuck it up. I'll start new forums flaming the idiot. Tons of them. Join the army!!!

And I'm more than happy for somebody else to work out a caption for this image. It fits in with the "Yew" tree, and the idea that this is your wife somehow works with the shape, but I can't quite get the right caption in my head. Pup TIME 10:44, 17/07/2009

Not sure if trolling, or just extremely nooby. It's hard to pinpoint exactly when the <insert name here> template was used vs, the word "you", but I can identify that you posted this in January 2012. I'm posting this from April 2013, (that's right, coming from the future!) and the article currently says the word you. As it should stay. You see, there's a template called {{username}}, which makes it so the reader sees his own username.

This is a bad article.

This should be deleted for two reasons:

1. It used to mock British people at the start of the article. While I have no problem with this usually, this has no explanation for why British people are mocked.
2. It now mocks American people at the start of the article. I do not have a problem with this as it is justified by the above sentence.
3. It is offensive, rude, non-encyclopedic and claims that I (otherwise known as you) have never written an article which is false.

Therefore I am going to add this to the VFD page. Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH (talk) 11:51, April 9, 2013 (UTC)

Should this article stay?

If this article is to stay on (which the person above made a clear case against), it needs more. If we are to mock the reader, may be suggest that he has a sexy wife—who constantly commits adultery. Maybe it's hinted the narrator has shagged her. It has a rubber band effect: there is an lift suggesting the reader has a sexy wife, which falls when it's stated she's being f*cked by every Tom, Dick, and Harry, and it might be even funnier if it's suggested the reader has a small knob which doesn't satify her, while the men who get to have sex with her are muscular and hung. Maybe that's a bad idea, because I just pulled it out of my ass, but I'm not hearing any better ideas.--50.187.202.167 02:51, May 8, 2015 (UTC)
