What is this?
—
TL;DR: This is a story Dotime wrote. I edited it heavily to make it more readable.

A long time ago, a user of JV and PR3, Dotime, wrote a story including his OCs and various JV users. It was in a JV Thread much like this, told over various posts, written over a long-ish period of time. Some of the users in the story asked to be included, while others were just included for no particular reason. The story was not an interactive story, meaning the story is soley Dotime's imagination. (Aside from the minor embellishments I've added.)

The original version of the story was extremely difficult to read due to numerous typos and bad grammar. (A lot of people remember Dotime for his typos and bad grammar.) Because of this, another user, Princess Cornelia, attempted to fix the story through editing. She probably made a few mistakes in the process. The original version of the story is lost to time, but Dotime preserved the version that Princess Cornelia edited it.

This version of the story is my edit of that version, attempting to fix any mistakes with the previous version and making the formatting and prose more accessible. I added a bit into the text, mostly to add more context. Still, I am trying to keep it 95% pure to the original plot of the story. The 5% being adding context, fixing minor plotholes, or giving it some personality. (I likely have made typos and grammatical mistakes too, but hopefully far less than the previous versions.)

I am posting this with Dotime's permission.

A JV Story

(Warning this story has blood and gore!)

===
Prologue: The News Reporter
—
It was just a day. A day of ?.

A news reporter, a little girl, had an interview with, "The King of All Knowledge," Mr. Zeo. Mr. Zeo had a big veiny head and possessed multitudes of books lacking covers. He allegedly knew all stories. And today's interview with Mr. Zeo was one of those stories. This story begins with a 16 year old cat. That cat is called Dotime.

Dotime was the king of all dogs, yet he did not wish to be king of all dogs. He wanted to do something with… Time. And he wished to be great and live a great life. He never did find what he was looking for… Or did he?

===
Act 1: The Mountain of Fire
Chapter 1: The Beginning of Time
—
Dotime walked into a small, stuffy bar up on Sizzy Lane. He ordered his usual, wine with ice.

The bartender, a grumpy fellow, asked, "What happened with you? Why so much booze?"

Dotime sighed. He replied, "I don't want to talk about it. It's a long story. You wouldn't want to know about it. Nobody else who asked really wanted to know about it."

The bartender shrugged and went about his work. As time passed, customers began to swarm in. Dotime finished his wine and headed on his way back home. His legs could barely move on their own. His feet were practically dragging along the earth.

Then, suddenly, at a nearby house, Moderators busted in with the intent to ban someone. A young woman was being arrested. She screamed out, "Let me go! Let me hack!" She struggled against the Moderators and attempted in vain to break free from capture.

One of the Moderators, Animebubble, replied, "No! We know you've been hacking in Jiggmin's games. We're taking you to the jail hub!"

The woman accused felt helpless. Her eyes darted around and she caught a glimpse of Dotime, King of the Dogs, walking by. She yelled out to Dotime, pleading, hopeful that he would rescue her, but Dotime failed to notice her. He was far too down.

Others walking by were drawn in by the commotion. They all ran over and stopped to watch the dramatic arrest. Before long, an entire crowd gathered before the house. Still, Dotime did not notice a thing. He continued to plod on. For him, all his days felt the same — hollow and meaningless.

He walked and he walked with his head held low. At some point he must have made a few wrong turns. Before Dotime knew it, he had emerged somewhere strange, far from home. He was in Sparkworkz Land, a place filled with gears and Sparkworkers. These Sparkworkers seemed to be working on a big ship deemed, "The Mountain of Fire."

Dotime was lost and confused. He searched for the captain of the ship, as he might be able to return home by sailing. Or at the very least he could ask for directions. He tried asking the Sparkworkers these questions and more, yet they all replied the same way. They just keep repeating some nonsensical statement, "Your not getting famous and your not getting my 'thanks'!" before continuing work on the ship and ignoring Dotime entirely.

While walking around, he did manage to overhear from some idle chatter. The ship was almost complete, and even better, it was set to depart for Jiggmin's Village. "Hmmm…" Dotime thought, "Maybe I can just sneak onto the ship. Hitch a ride back without them knowing."

--

Meanwhile, back in Jiggmin's Village, the formerly arrested girl was sitting all alone in the jail hub. Her name was Ms. Lila. She said quietly to herself, "Doctor, where are you doctor?.. "

===
Act 1: The Mountain of Fire
Chapter 2: A Nightmare
—
Ms. Lila coughed slightly. And then harder. She sat up quickly and then it happened. Blood spewed forth from her mouth, "I am the Lol Man!" came out from her lips, yet it was a masculine voice. "I will kill you all!"

She was still present in her body. She could hear the words emanating from her own body. She screamed aloud, "Doctor, it is you! I want you dead doctor! You should have died before!"

Moderators heard the yelling from rooms over and were annoyed. They all came to the cell and yelled at her, "Hey, shut the f*** up!" they said in unison.

Her mouth gaped open impossibly wide. A crimson blade emerged from her throat. She grabbed the blade and stabbed a fleeing Moderator, leaving a trail of blood behind. Another Moderator called for the Administrators, but Ms. Lila cut him wide open. Blood sprayed out from his body and covered her face...

--

Meanwhile, in Sparkworkz Land, Dotime was sneaking onto the Mountain of Fire. Staying in dark areas, he managed to avoid detection from any of the Sparkworkers. He made his way down to the bottom of the boat. There he found a Lemur, a former Jiggmin's Village resident, named Ringstaart. He was imprisoned there in a poisonous cell.

"Help me out of here! If I don't make it out those Sparkworkers will kill me! You just have to find the key to unlock this cell. Please, I beg of you!"

Dotime agreed. He looked around for a key and finally found it. Out on the deck, Dotime eventually located a sleeping Sparkworker who had a keychain attached to his belt, possibly with the jail cell key. He was about to steal the keys, but the captain was nearby. Dotime had finally found the captain of the ship — Captain Sparkworkz.

After some more eavesdropping, Dotime learned that Captain Sparkworkz was the one who architected the construction of the Mountain of Fire. He also learned that the Mountain of Fire was designed to conquer Jiggmin's Village. The ship was armed with cannons, guns, and an army of spam bots. Captain Sparkworkz certainly must be evil, Dotime decided.

He waited until he left and nabbed the keys from the sleeping Sparkworker. He also grabbed a handheld firegun. He returned back down. The key worked and Ringstaart was freed. They looked around and realized that the ship was wooden enough to be flammable.

"Let's burn this ship down," said Dotime.

They waited until they were close enough to the coast of Jiggmin's Village to swim back before Dotime used the firegun and set the ship ablaze. Then they bailed into the sea.

Both watched the ship become engulfed in flames. They saw Captain Sparkworkz flailing about after catching fire. He jumped into the water, but surely either the napalm burned him to death, or he must have drowned. The Mountain of Fire was nothing but burning wreckage now.

Dotime and Ringstaart swam to the shore. Everyone was confused, staring at the ship and at them. It was over. They were back at Jiggmin's Village alive, healthy, and free.

===
Act 1: The Mountain of Fire
Chapter 3: Vex's Story
—
The Lol Man was now loose upon the world. And just like Captain Sparkworkz, he had a plan to take over the world.

The Lol Man was free from the jail hub. He said in an ominous voice, "You want Jiggmin dead? Tell me your name."

"Yes, I want revenge! I want to hack. I want to hack! I want to hack!" The Lol Man hushed Vex from talking.

"I will help you..." he said in a creepy voice, "But you need to find some things for me. Find me a certain cat person and find me Player Z. Then, I can grant you the ability to hack. I know how much you want to hack."

Just then, all over the village there was an emergency news broadcast that caught Vex's attention. Something about a 16 year old cat person rescuing a villager named Ringstaart from the terrible fate of being a part of Sparkworkz Land. Vex grinned a wide grin. Already half of what he needed was found.

There was an impromptu interview of Dotime and Ringstaart at the beach with The Mountain of Fire sinking in the background. What little of the ship that was left drifted away from Jiggmin's Village. They both explained what happened, that they had saved Jiggmin's Village from falling into the hands of Sparkworkz Land.

Ringstaart exclaimed "Sparkworkz sucks!" and he received 10,000 thanks coins from the crowd.

Somebody else in the crowd also exclaimed "Sparkworkz sucks!" He also received thanks coins from the crowd.

So from then on, anyone in Jiggmin's Village who would call out "Sparkworkz sucks!" automatically received thanks coins from those around.

Another news reporter butted in and asked, "So wait, is it really true that Captain Sparkworkz is dead? Or is this just speculation?" Ringstaart and Dotime wanted to say that he was dead, but neither could answer confidently.

===
Act 2: The Assassination
Chapter 4: The Killer
—
Some time had passed after the events of The Mountain of Fire collapsing. Dotime had acquired a new house and was just moving in. His first night there was a complete surprise. He heard a crinkling from his pillow. Underneath was a map. It was a map to… Time. The map showed the way to the legendary Timeclock, a pocket watch that acted as a time machine. Dotime needed to search for it, but first he needed money…

So he went to Jiggmin's Village's Bulletin Board Restaurant looking for ways to make money. One job listing was by a girl named Pinky.

Dotime and Pinky worked out the details in the privacy of Dotime's home. The job was an assassination job. Pinky and Dotime were both familiar with both Jiggmin's Village and The Kongregating Grounds. In the event that anything were to go wrong, they could go into hiding and find each other.

Pinky smiled and gave Dotime a shotgun and a shield.

Pinky said to Dotime, "You will need these to kill him."

Dotime replied simply, "So who do we have to kill?"

===
Act 2: The Assassination
Chapter 5: VFV WTF!
—
Pinky pulled out a picture. It was an imposing masked man with hundreds of guns under his cloak. "We get him," she explained, "A powerful and corrupt Administrator, VforVendetta." She sighed, knowing the reality of the situation and said, "Make sure the Moderators don't get you."

Dotime replied, "Okay... But there's one of me and a lot of them."

Pinky declared confidently, "I will help you kill them."

She looked through a box of guns and chose the most ideal one — an AK47. They got into a car and headed for VfV. He must be somewhere in the The Kongregating Grounds mod hut building.

The duo encountered a guard blocking the entrance to the building. Pinky gunned him down until he was nothing but swiss cheese and both ran inside. Another guard witnessed the shooting and alerted an alarm. The Kongregating Grounds Moderators came quickly and VforVendetta emerged.

Pinky yelled out, "It's VfV!"

VfV was protected by 3 bodyguards who said, "VfV we got your back!"

VfV didn't talk. He just gathered more men for the battle.

Unexpectedly, a spaceship came crashing in from the roof of the mod hut, slamming straight into VfV. He was hurt really badly with deep cuts and bruises over his bare chest. Weakly, he lifted a gun and fired shots at Dotime, who was running towards the ship for cover. Pinky covered Dotime via suppression.

Even still, a bullet hit Dotime in the knee. He fell over. Pinky ran over to him and carried him into the spaceship. She may not know what was inside, but at least it was safe from the gunfire.

Inside the ship, everything looked odd and unreal. The ship stank of rotten milk. Pinky laid Dotime down inside and searched around. She found the control panel and improvised her best to pilot the ship. As they took liftoff she saw VfV's angry grimace as he continued to shoot at the ship. Pinky managed to fly far away from the mod hut.

--

Meanwhile, The Lol Man started to take hold of Jiggmin's Village. He began slowly turning it into an evil place filled with vicious monsters, demonic dogs. He called these dogs 'dropouts', as they were unruly like children that drop out of school.

After that, the Lol Man had another secret weapon. A secret weapon that allowed him to send all of the villagers to jail. He had a way to frame each and every villager for hacking. The Moderation team would do the rest of the work.

Jiggmin's Village was in chaos. Moderator Animebubble yelled out to the rest of her team, "Yes, all these people need to pay for their crime of hacking. They will ALL PAY!"

Part of this secret weapon involved a real team of evil hackers in addition to the villagers being framed. The evil hackers were pretending to be villagers and were too numerous. One hacker yelled to the moderators, "Everyone you are banning will escape their cells! There is no way you can stop them! They will kill you all!" They made the Moderators fear the innocent villagers.

===
Act 2: The Assassination
Chapter 6: Run Boy Run!
—
The villagers were all escaping their cells.

One named Loki got out of jail and he ran as fast as he could.

Two others, Alexander Nikolaevich and Inori Yuzuriha also escaped and ran for their lives. They were hiding everywhere they could. All the innocent people in Jiggmin's Village who were set up were escaping.

"As long as we stay together, we will be safe, okay?" Alexander said, patting Inori's head.

Inori looked at him and smiled, "Yes, we will be safe together."

And then they hugged and ran away, away from the commotion. They managed to evade both Moderators and hackers alike. They escaped the village and rumour has it they lived happily ever after.

Loki, however, was unlucky. After he escaped he was then surrounded by clones of local villager Player Z. He knew instantly that The Lol Man had cloned everyone in the village. These clones were the hackers and the Moderators could not tell them apart. The clones were all evil hackers doing The Lol Man's bidding.

Now that Captain Sparkworkz was dead, Jiggmin's Village was more easily conquerable by the Lol Man. No Sparkworkers to get in his way. The Lol Man continued to make as many clones as possible. And with the arrest of every innocent the less villagers get in his way too. The Lol Man's plan was succeeding.

--

Meanwhile, Pinky was paying Dotime some of his money. Even though VfV was still alive, Dotime had helped kill some of the guards, the Auto-Moderation Bots of The Kongregating Grounds. She gave Dotime 60,000 thanks coins for that. They decided to land back in Jiggmin's Village, away from VfV at the Kongregating Grounds. They landed back in Jiggmin's Village.

After landing, an alien aboard the ship woke up and met Pinky and Dotime. The alien saw Dotime limping and bleeding, so he decided to doctor Dotime.

"What the hell happened to you?" said the alien.

Dotime sighed and closed his eyes. "It was the Kongregating Grounds bots that did this crap to me, along with VfV."

===
Act 2: The Assassination
Chapter 7: The Doctor
—
"Dr. Infinity, where are you?" said a woman named Rain.

Rain was in the hottest part of Jiggmin's Village. She tried to walk around, but the sun was beating down on her. She got into a car, just about ready to give up on finding Dr. Inf, when he finally showed up.

He laughed and asked, "Have you found it?"

"It's you!" Rain rubbed her hands together and answered, "Yes! I found the Boom Hat!"

The Boom Hat was a rare trap weapon. When you wore it, it would boom you up.

Dr. Inf clapped with joy, "We will be rich! I will give it to the boss!"

But that was not really Dr. Inf's and Rain's money. In truth, this was neither the real Dr. Infinity nor the real Rain. These were clones of Dr. Infinity and Rain. Many of the evil clones were still on the loose…

Traveling along the road, Dr. Inf and Rain ran into a cat named Sandstorm. Later, they went to have a meal. Inside the restaurant they encountered a dino named Yupp, along with a female waitress named Mick, and the head chef named Cow. He loved toast, but his clone hated it. All the clones hated toast. While they waited for the food, they sat at the table taking pictures of themselves for Jiggmin's Village Comics.

Suddenly, someone named Mr. Dats, threw bread in the direction of the clones. The bread hit one of the clones, causing them to explode because of how much they hate bread.

"Take that you nub!" Mr. Dats laughed, "Now, to save Jiggmin's Villag-"

But his words were cut short as a dropout dog leaped onto and tore into Mr. Dats. The beast ripped him to shreds... But somehow Dats was still alive. He used bread again on the dropout and it also exploded.

--

Meanwhile, Loki was still running for his life from the Player Z clones, he stopped and hid in a store. Surely there must be at least one place safe? That is the moment he heard a dropout knocking over all the merchandise. It was coming for him… He was doomed.

--

Meanwhile, the alien was still performing surgery on Dotime.

Dotime, "I don't understand why The Kongregating Grounds is deciding to guard VfV! Why would they guard him even though he was corrupt in Jiggmin's Village?"

The alien replied dismissively and calmly, "Your leg is healed, you can now walk."

Dotime stood up and walked. He shook off the dull ache from his knees and smiled grimly.

"Sorry, Dotime," Pinky said. "But now I have to go now. I need to hurry and hide before VfV finds me. They will be mad that we killed so many guards."

She turned and ran to the ship they had taken, Dotime watched her go in.

"WTF!" Pinky screeched as she saw numerous clones of Vex. Each clone had their own gun and all aimed at Pinky.

"Stop right there you f***er!" Vex yelled angrily. "I've seen you with Dotime before! You know where he is. He has something I need. Help me get me Dotime's map and I'll let you go!"

Pinky thought for a moment before replying, "No," was her answer.

Dotime heard a gunshot which echoed all throughout the ship, followed by evil hysterical laughter, and then silence. Dotime ran as best he could out of the ship and saw Pinky on the ground, she was crumbled up and was very silent, he could see her breathing very slowly.

"Dotime, help..." she gasped. "Help me..."

At first it seemed that perhaps the alien could save her, but she was too grievously injured. Her breath lasted for only three more painful gasps. Then she stopped moving.

. . .

After what felt like an eternity, Dotime laid Pinky down and went to fly the ship himself. He sighed miserably. It was dangerous here, so he decided to move a bit. Still wanting to stay in Jiggmin's Village, Dotime decided to head to the Village Central.

While flying, he figured he needed new partners.

"I'm friends with the villagers Dr. Infinity and Rain. Maybe they could be my new partners," Dotime thought.

===
Act 3: The New Jiggmin's Village
Chapter 8: Live & Reloaded
—
A local villager named Kinx stumbled upon the spaceship. After entering it, he met Dotime. Both of them were on edge, Kinx because of the Jiggmin Village situation and Dotime because of the VfV situation. They talked until they trusted each other. They explained about both of their troubles completely.

"Hmmm… So what do I do now?" Dotime asked anxiously, "People in Jiggmin's Village are being torn to bits. If I try to help, the crazy people will mob me and kill me on the spot."

"I've got an idea, Dotime," said Kinx. "Ask the alien to fly us."

Dotime asked the alien to fly the ship as he went to speak to Kinx.

"What is your idea, Kinx?" Dotime asked when he approached.

Kinx told Dotime the idea. It required a shovel, a bottle of wine, a match, a female guard, and a personal bodyguard. That should be enough. Dotime wondered how he would acquire all of this.

Kinx took him to Bulletin Board Restaurant where he could find his guards for the idea. A waiter named Mike G tended to Kinx and Dotime.

"Which table would you like to be seated at?"

Dotime smiled and replied, "Table 51. Also, please sit down with us Mike. We need to talk."

"Alright then," said Mike G. He sat at the table and looked at Dotime. He even had a sip of coffee.

"I need to see a list of available bodyguards who are talented," Dotime whispered, "Show me the member list."

Mike G looked around and nodded at Dotime, "Wait here. I'll go get the list for you."

When he returned, he placed the list in front of Dotime and watched as Dotime scanned carefully. The list held all of Jiggmin's Village citizens and regulars. There were categories of people. There were strong people, funny people, clever people, happy and friendly people. But most importantly there were 'dedicated' people. Dotime's eyes landed on two names... Dr. Infinite and Rain were in that category. Just who he was thinking of.

--

Meanwhile, in the Kongregating Grounds, the guards were still hunting for Dotime, but there were no good leads. One of the guards saw the spaceship as it left. They followed it and even traced it to its exact location, but they still had no idea where Dotime went after the ship landed. Vfv hatched an idea.

"We will place a tripwire bomb in the ship," said VfV , "If he ever returns to the ship then he will explode for sure."

And so VfV and the Kongregate Moderators traveled to the ship, placed a bomb on it, and left the area. On their way back, an emergency news broadcast appeared on all public TVs in the village. "Breaking news: It appears that Dotime, the cat previously praised for saving Ringstaart, was just found dead."

"Haha, Yes! We must have killed him for sure!" VfV said, "Dead! Dotime is dead!"

"Could you tell us a bit about the deceased?" asked the reporter to Ringstaart. Ringstaart just grinned slyly, smugly even, as if he was smiling through the screen at VfV… "He was a good man."

--

Meanwhile, someone else was searching for the Timeclock, the legendary pocket watch necklace.

The dino named Yupp, went to visit two others, Camer and Mr. Dex. Yupp laughed and shared some information with the two men.

"Camer, I have obtained information on the cat," Yupp said.

"Show it to me!" Demanded Camer. Smoke bellowed out of his dragon nostrils and Yupp coughed.

"The cat is from Islip Island. He is completely grey. He is currently age 17. He is also looking for the Timeclock. He is noted to be extremely dangerous as he managed to kill Captain Sparkworkz, sir." Yupp reported, "His name is Dotime."

"Very well, very well," Camer said. "Now get Pet to spy on Dotime and any acquaintances. Watch all of those nubs."

"Yes, sir!" said Yupp with a swift salute. He hurried to arrange for the spy Pet.

Little did they know that someone was listening to them... Someone very eager to save Jiggmin's Village... Ringstaart! Ringstaart had been investigating various bad guys ever since he came back to Jiggmin's Village. He had been eavesdropping and following suspicious individuals. He knew what various people were planning and anyone who posed a threat to Dotime he would try his best to halt. It was the least he could do for Dotime, the hero that had saved his life 31 days ago from The Mountain of Fire.

Ringstaart had even followed VfV and the Kongregating Moderators to Dotime's spaceship and removed the trap bomb they had placed there. He also hastily architected a fake news broadcast to say that Dotime died so VfV would leave him be, at least until they realized that it was fake.

--

Meanwhile, the waiter, Mike G had contacted the bodyguards that Dotime had previously requested. It was only a little while later that Rain and Dr. Infinity arrived at Dotime's house. They were let in by Kinx.

"Alright, so what's the plan here?" asked the contractee, Rain.

"Two things. One, you are going to aid Dotime in finding a legendary device," replied Kinx, "Two, you are going to execute the man who killed Pinky."

"And when are we gonna get paid?" Asked the other contractee, Dr. Inf.

Dotime took 40,000 thank coins from his coffer chest and split the amount between to Rain and Dr. Inf.

"This job pays more than anything else in Jiggmin's Village," said Dotime, "I look forward to your assistance soon."

After a few days to prepare they met up again. Dotime, Rain, and Dr. Infinity began the search for the Timeclock. Dotime had kept the map safe all this time and now he felt it was right to search for it. This takes priority over revenge against VfV, who he assumed killed Pinky, as it would likely help with that too.

"Are we sure this map is correct?" Rain looked at the map, and began to consider if the wilderness outside matches the details on the map.

"The map is a ? isn't it?" replied Dotime.

Then the ship suddenly dropped into a well, it was deep and gloomy. The ship hit bumped against the walls and the floor. The control panel flashed and eventually died. They evacuated the ship and gasped.

"What the..." uttered Dr. Inf.

They all looked up and witnessed a giant monster looking down at them. It was known as the arom. The arom had poked holes in the ship and managed to blow up a few sections. The map flew out of one of these holes and into the jungle.

The arom seemed enraged by their presence. It began to grow legs and walk towards them. Dr. Inf knew he had to do something. Dr. Inf found a bazooka that they had brought with them. He wielded it, and aimed it at the monster.

"Take one more step forward and you're dead!" Dr. Inf was trying to communicate with it.

The arom swatted at Dr. Inf with its huge hands trying to crush him or knock him against a wall. It was very clearly trying to kill Dr. Inf, but he managed to dodge every attack.

"Dotime, get the f***ing map! " he shouted.

Dotime rushed to his feet. He ran in the last known direction of the map. He felt and saw little Uioak bugs eating the flesh of his tail, but it didn't deter him. He kept running to find the map.

Suddenly, a deep and croaky voice pierced Dotime's ear. "You were looking for this?"

Dotime ignored it and ran. His eyes darted around the place to look for signs of where the map could have gone, where it could have rolled or flew, but saw nothing. He kept on going ahead. The deeper he went looking for the map, the foggier it got. His eyes were finding it hard to adjust to the gloom. Red eyes appeared in the fog.

But they were not eyes. They were just marking on the bark of a tree. And on those trees were pieces of paper pinned to them with scrawled. Each note read, "Find me if you Zee me." Dotime shook his head and continued looking for the map.

--

Meanwhile, Dr. Infinity was trying to kill the monster, the arom. He fired a rocket, it hit, but it was not enough. He managed to grab another rocket while it was hit the first time. He dodged a few more swipes before reloading and shooting again, but the arom wouldn't die.

Out of the corner of his eye, Dr. Inf also saw a group of dropouts approaching. They were different looking from most dropouts he had seen out of the village. These ones were called tough-to-breaks. These ones seemed to be a special project of The Lol Man. These were more viscous, they seemed as though they could kill anyone they wanted to.

Rain zoomed ahead of Dr. Inf with a shotgun in hand. She closed in on the arom, shooting it right in the face. Finally, they managed to kill it. As it died, both Rain and Dr. Inf could hear the arom utter, "I warn you."

--

Meanwhile, in Jiggmin's Village, all who managed to escape the cells were now under the rule of their new king and queen: The Lol Man and Ms. Lila, the girl who he chooses to inhabit much of the time.

The villagers had a plan to kill The Lol Man, but they would also need a plan to get past the hacker clones first. A cat named Sladen had a plan for that part in particular. He was a hacker long before The Lol Man. Sladen used his hacking powers to give moderator powers to villagers. Now it was an even playing field. They could wage warfare against the hackers. In response, The Lol Man ordered the hackers to kill them all.

Each villager gained their own weapon from Sladen's hacking. One had the power to fire lasers through their eyes. Pet, the spy, had the power to go invisible, useful for his hiding.

"Doctor, they will kill us all!" screamed one of Lol Man's hackers.

So The Lol Man used his power to create even more hacker clones, while continuing to order them to attack the villagers. The villagers fought back fiercely. They used guns to shoot at the clones. The Moderators used banning guns on The Lol Man's men. When they ran out of ammo, they switched to using their ban hammers. The army of hackers started to flame the villagers and block.

The villagers were several men down. The whole area was filled with blood and tears.

"I've got an idea!" Animebubble said to UsbHub, while killing a hacker.

"Oh?" UsbHub replied, "What's the idea?"

"A ban," replied Animebubble.

Suddenly, UsbHub was shot in his foot from someone far away. He turned his head towards the direction of the bullet. It was VfV and his army from The Kongregating Grounds. On the top of the mountain, VfV stood, side by side with The Lol Man. An alliance they had made, to share in the conquest of Jiggmin's Village.

"Shoot them all!" cried out The Lol Man.

But the Kongregate Army did not see what was coming. The cat villager Sandstorm suddenly came out of nowhere and used a nuke to blow up the Kong Army. Suddenly, there was only silence.

Act 3: The New Jiggmin's Village
Chapter 9: Captain Sparkworkz's Revenge
—
The sky was red and smokey. That was the time when Captain Sparkwork's body was still floating in the sea with burn marks all over his body. His guns were missing. Half of the Sparkworkers were dead. Still, many boxes of spambots managed to survive. The spambots healed Captain Sparkworks and the uninhabited island that they washed ashore became their new home.

Captain Sparkworkz had caught Dotime setting the ship on fire just before he caught fire. He knew Dotime was responsible and wanted revenge. He still wanted control of Jiggmin's Village too. But he had no way of doing that. At least that was until he found something on the island.

On the island he managed to find something… A machine that can control time itself. He began to lol madly when he realized what he had found. He got some paper that survived and wrote on it in charcoal from his ship's burnt wood. He needed to formalize a plan.

He will make Dotime go back to the dark years… Yes. Yes. This is a good plan. 500 years in the future… He had an idea for that. The plan was coming along nicely.

While planning all of this, something emerged from the time gate. It was a weapon from the future. A weapon far more powerful than simple spambots or explosions. A weapon that somebody must have handcrafted just for him. On the weapon was a note that read "From the Xile." The Xile was a dear ally of Captain Sparkworkz.

"This weapon is just what I needed," said Captain Sparkworks, "Perfect."

When he was done making his plans, Captain Sparkworks entered the time gate. He was ready.

--

Meanwhile, Jiggmin's Village was now a big ring of fire.

The Lol Man survived the nuke. He was still powerful enough to control people and could mind control people to think that Dotime was the reason the war occurred and that he was the sole reason for all this fallout. He started a propaganda campaign about it. He wanted to do everything to ensure that the remaining villagers would want Dotime dead.

Enough of the Kongregate Army survived too. The Kongregate Army was angry, more angry than The Lol Man's men or the Sparkworkers even.

The Lol Man promised to make them all a new country. One that he will have total control over… But he did not get to. Clouds and smoke appeared and soon everything was a dense haze.

Everything started to feel like it was going backwards…

Afterword
—
…And this is basically the end of a JVer Story. At least what was finished of it when it was written back in JV1.

I hope you enjoyed reading it and seeing references of users or events you remember. It is a bit sad that the Kongregate Forums no longer exists. Nor does Sparkworkz. (Maybe a bit less sad about that.) The story feels a bit like a time capsule to me. A blast from the past.

Maybe more will be written someday or reimagined as a new story. There are some small extra bits written throughout the years, but nothing worth posting here.

===
Some More Context
—
Dotime is both the name of the user/villager, but also their primary OC. The character Dotime is an anthropomorphic cat loosely inspired by Conker from Conker's Bad Fur Day. This is why Dotime is the King of the Dogs, at the beginning of the story, because he is inspired by Conker who becomes king against his will at the end of his first game. Dotime is called Dotime because he "does time" meaning he time travels. So you could say he is also inspired a bit by Link from Legend of Zelda... If you want to know more about Dotime just ask Dotime, he's actively working on more Dotime related content. He is working on games, stories, and art about Dotime.

The Lol Man was a creepypasta character invented by Dotime. Some of the stories about The Lol Man are lost to time. Basically the idea is The Lol man is the ghost of a man, a doctor, from centuries ago that can inhabit PR2 or PR3. He can glitch the game out and force everyone to type 'lol' over and over. He does blood related stuff because all creepypasta characters do. His is often accompanied is Ms. Lila (she didn't have a name back then) who is often portrayed as a nameless character on PR2 or PR3. She might be a witch or something, idk.

There are some references to Noob.txt in the story. Noob.txt was a compilation of funny quotes from PR2 and JV. Often there were sentences with typos, or grammatically incorrect sentences, bizarre statements, or just random nonsense. By present day standards it would probably be considered 'brainrot'.

Kongregate is a highly successful flash game website. It used to have game-specific forums on it. A lot of JV mods and admins were also mods and admins on Kongregate's PR2 sub-forum.

Sparkworkz was an extremely unsuccessful flash game website. It used to have a forum in it. It was notoriously bad, being poorly moderated, was hosted on extremely unreliable servers, and filled with spambots by advertisers. Sparkworkz was owned by the parent company inXile. Sparkworkz and Jiggmin likely had some kind of contract with each other that prevented PR3 to be published anywhere else, basically forcing players to use its awful site and also dooming PR3 to obscurity. Sparkworkz was often portrayed as evil due to its neglectfulness.

A user of Sparkworkz volunteered to promote the site. He called himself Captain Sparkworkz among other names and was granted Mod status on Sparkworkz for his efforts. Many falsely attributed him as either being an owner or employee for Sparkworkz, when in reality he was just an unpaid volunteer. Still, when people feel the need to take their frustrations out on Sparkworkz, a faceless company, they need a face to do so, and unfortunately for him he acted as the de facto face of Sparkworkz. (Either way both Sparkworkz and the online persona of Captain Sparkworkz are long dead so I doubt this still haunts him.)

The vast majority of the villagers in this story probably don't talk or behave like how the actual villagers did/do. They're mostly just references for the sake of references. Named characters for the sake of having named characters.

I'm not going to comment on who VFV was lol. Someone else can do that if they want to.]]> A JV Story

What is this?
—
TL;DR: This is a story Dotime wrote. I edited it heavily to make it more readable.

A long time ago, a user of JV and PR3, Dotime, wrote a story including his OCs and various JV users. It was in a JV Thread much like this, told over various posts, written over a long-ish period of time. Some of the users in the story asked to be included, while others were just included for no particular reason. The story was not an interactive story, meaning the story is soley Dotime's imagination. (Aside from the minor embellishments I've added.)

The original version of the story was extremely difficult to read due to numerous typos and bad grammar. (A lot of people remember Dotime for his typos and bad grammar.) Because of this, another user, Princess Cornelia, attempted to fix the story through editing. She probably made a few mistakes in the process. The original version of the story is lost to time, but Dotime preserved the version that Princess Cornelia edited it.

This version of the story is my edit of that version, attempting to fix any mistakes with the previous version and making the formatting and prose more accessible. I added a bit into the text, mostly to add more context. Still, I am trying to keep it 95% pure to the original plot of the story. The 5% being adding context, fixing minor plotholes, or giving it some personality. (I likely have made typos and grammatical mistakes too, but hopefully far less than the previous versions.)

I am posting this with Dotime's permission.

A JV Story

(Warning this story has blood and gore!)

===
Prologue: The News Reporter
—
It was just a day. A day of ?.

A news reporter, a little girl, had an interview with, "The King of All Knowledge," Mr. Zeo. Mr. Zeo had a big veiny head and possessed multitudes of books lacking covers. He allegedly knew all stories. And today's interview with Mr. Zeo was one of those stories. This story begins with a 16 year old cat. That cat is called Dotime.

Dotime was the king of all dogs, yet he did not wish to be king of all dogs. He wanted to do something with… Time. And he wished to be great and live a great life. He never did find what he was looking for… Or did he?

===
Act 1: The Mountain of Fire
Chapter 1: The Beginning of Time
—
Dotime walked into a small, stuffy bar up on Sizzy Lane. He ordered his usual, wine with ice.

The bartender, a grumpy fellow, asked, "What happened with you? Why so much booze?"

Dotime sighed. He replied, "I don't want to talk about it. It's a long story. You wouldn't want to know about it. Nobody else who asked really wanted to know about it."

The bartender shrugged and went about his work. As time passed, customers began to swarm in. Dotime finished his wine and headed on his way back home. His legs could barely move on their own. His feet were practically dragging along the earth.

Then, suddenly, at a nearby house, Moderators busted in with the intent to ban someone. A young woman was being arrested. She screamed out, "Let me go! Let me hack!" She struggled against the Moderators and attempted in vain to break free from capture.

One of the Moderators, Animebubble, replied, "No! We know you've been hacking in Jiggmin's games. We're taking you to the jail hub!"

The woman accused felt helpless. Her eyes darted around and she caught a glimpse of Dotime, King of the Dogs, walking by. She yelled out to Dotime, pleading, hopeful that he would rescue her, but Dotime failed to notice her. He was far too down.

Others walking by were drawn in by the commotion. They all ran over and stopped to watch the dramatic arrest. Before long, an entire crowd gathered before the house. Still, Dotime did not notice a thing. He continued to plod on. For him, all his days felt the same — hollow and meaningless.

He walked and he walked with his head held low. At some point he must have made a few wrong turns. Before Dotime knew it, he had emerged somewhere strange, far from home. He was in Sparkworkz Land, a place filled with gears and Sparkworkers. These Sparkworkers seemed to be working on a big ship deemed, "The Mountain of Fire."

Dotime was lost and confused. He searched for the captain of the ship, as he might be able to return home by sailing. Or at the very least he could ask for directions. He tried asking the Sparkworkers these questions and more, yet they all replied the same way. They just keep repeating some nonsensical statement, "Your not getting famous and your not getting my 'thanks'!" before continuing work on the ship and ignoring Dotime entirely.

While walking around, he did manage to overhear from some idle chatter. The ship was almost complete, and even better, it was set to depart for Jiggmin's Village. "Hmmm…" Dotime thought, "Maybe I can just sneak onto the ship. Hitch a ride back without them knowing."

--

Meanwhile, back in Jiggmin's Village, the formerly arrested girl was sitting all alone in the jail hub. Her name was Ms. Lila. She said quietly to herself, "Doctor, where are you doctor?.. "

===
Act 1: The Mountain of Fire
Chapter 2: A Nightmare
—
Ms. Lila coughed slightly. And then harder. She sat up quickly and then it happened. Blood spewed forth from her mouth, "I am the Lol Man!" came out from her lips, yet it was a masculine voice. "I will kill you all!"

She was still present in her body. She could hear the words emanating from her own body. She screamed aloud, "Doctor, it is you! I want you dead doctor! You should have died before!"

Moderators heard the yelling from rooms over and were annoyed. They all came to the cell and yelled at her, "Hey, shut the f*** up!" they said in unison.

Her mouth gaped open impossibly wide. A crimson blade emerged from her throat. She grabbed the blade and stabbed a fleeing Moderator, leaving a trail of blood behind. Another Moderator called for the Administrators, but Ms. Lila cut him wide open. Blood sprayed out from his body and covered her face...

--

Meanwhile, in Sparkworkz Land, Dotime was sneaking onto the Mountain of Fire. Staying in dark areas, he managed to avoid detection from any of the Sparkworkers. He made his way down to the bottom of the boat. There he found a Lemur, a former Jiggmin's Village resident, named Ringstaart. He was imprisoned there in a poisonous cell.

"Help me out of here! If I don't make it out those Sparkworkers will kill me! You just have to find the key to unlock this cell. Please, I beg of you!"

Dotime agreed. He looked around for a key and finally found it. Out on the deck, Dotime eventually located a sleeping Sparkworker who had a keychain attached to his belt, possibly with the jail cell key. He was about to steal the keys, but the captain was nearby. Dotime had finally found the captain of the ship — Captain Sparkworkz.

After some more eavesdropping, Dotime learned that Captain Sparkworkz was the one who architected the construction of the Mountain of Fire. He also learned that the Mountain of Fire was designed to conquer Jiggmin's Village. The ship was armed with cannons, guns, and an army of spam bots. Captain Sparkworkz certainly must be evil, Dotime decided.

He waited until he left and nabbed the keys from the sleeping Sparkworker. He also grabbed a handheld firegun. He returned back down. The key worked and Ringstaart was freed. They looked around and realized that the ship was wooden enough to be flammable.

"Let's burn this ship down," said Dotime.

They waited until they were close enough to the coast of Jiggmin's Village to swim back before Dotime used the firegun and set the ship ablaze. Then they bailed into the sea.

Both watched the ship become engulfed in flames. They saw Captain Sparkworkz flailing about after catching fire. He jumped into the water, but surely either the napalm burned him to death, or he must have drowned. The Mountain of Fire was nothing but burning wreckage now.

Dotime and Ringstaart swam to the shore. Everyone was confused, staring at the ship and at them. It was over. They were back at Jiggmin's Village alive, healthy, and free.

===
Act 1: The Mountain of Fire
Chapter 3: Vex's Story
—
The Lol Man was now loose upon the world. And just like Captain Sparkworkz, he had a plan to take over the world.

The Lol Man was free from the jail hub. He said in an ominous voice, "You want Jiggmin dead? Tell me your name."

"Yes, I want revenge! I want to hack. I want to hack! I want to hack!" The Lol Man hushed Vex from talking.

"I will help you..." he said in a creepy voice, "But you need to find some things for me. Find me a certain cat person and find me Player Z. Then, I can grant you the ability to hack. I know how much you want to hack."

Just then, all over the village there was an emergency news broadcast that caught Vex's attention. Something about a 16 year old cat person rescuing a villager named Ringstaart from the terrible fate of being a part of Sparkworkz Land. Vex grinned a wide grin. Already half of what he needed was found.

There was an impromptu interview of Dotime and Ringstaart at the beach with The Mountain of Fire sinking in the background. What little of the ship that was left drifted away from Jiggmin's Village. They both explained what happened, that they had saved Jiggmin's Village from falling into the hands of Sparkworkz Land.

Ringstaart exclaimed "Sparkworkz sucks!" and he received 10,000 thanks coins from the crowd.

Somebody else in the crowd also exclaimed "Sparkworkz sucks!" He also received thanks coins from the crowd.

So from then on, anyone in Jiggmin's Village who would call out "Sparkworkz sucks!" automatically received thanks coins from those around.

Another news reporter butted in and asked, "So wait, is it really true that Captain Sparkworkz is dead? Or is this just speculation?" Ringstaart and Dotime wanted to say that he was dead, but neither could answer confidently.

===
Act 2: The Assassination
Chapter 4: The Killer
—
Some time had passed after the events of The Mountain of Fire collapsing. Dotime had acquired a new house and was just moving in. His first night there was a complete surprise. He heard a crinkling from his pillow. Underneath was a map. It was a map to… Time. The map showed the way to the legendary Timeclock, a pocket watch that acted as a time machine. Dotime needed to search for it, but first he needed money…

So he went to Jiggmin's Village's Bulletin Board Restaurant looking for ways to make money. One job listing was by a girl named Pinky.

Dotime and Pinky worked out the details in the privacy of Dotime's home. The job was an assassination job. Pinky and Dotime were both familiar with both Jiggmin's Village and The Kongregating Grounds. In the event that anything were to go wrong, they could go into hiding and find each other.

Pinky smiled and gave Dotime a shotgun and a shield.

Pinky said to Dotime, "You will need these to kill him."

Dotime replied simply, "So who do we have to kill?"

===
Act 2: The Assassination
Chapter 5: VFV WTF!
—
Pinky pulled out a picture. It was an imposing masked man with hundreds of guns under his cloak. "We get him," she explained, "A powerful and corrupt Administrator, VforVendetta." She sighed, knowing the reality of the situation and said, "Make sure the Moderators don't get you."

Dotime replied, "Okay... But there's one of me and a lot of them."

Pinky declared confidently, "I will help you kill them."

She looked through a box of guns and chose the most ideal one — an AK47. They got into a car and headed for VfV. He must be somewhere in the The Kongregating Grounds mod hut building.

The duo encountered a guard blocking the entrance to the building. Pinky gunned him down until he was nothing but swiss cheese and both ran inside. Another guard witnessed the shooting and alerted an alarm. The Kongregating Grounds Moderators came quickly and VforVendetta emerged.

Pinky yelled out, "It's VfV!"

VfV was protected by 3 bodyguards who said, "VfV we got your back!"

VfV didn't talk. He just gathered more men for the battle.

Unexpectedly, a spaceship came crashing in from the roof of the mod hut, slamming straight into VfV. He was hurt really badly with deep cuts and bruises over his bare chest. Weakly, he lifted a gun and fired shots at Dotime, who was running towards the ship for cover. Pinky covered Dotime via suppression.

Even still, a bullet hit Dotime in the knee. He fell over. Pinky ran over to him and carried him into the spaceship. She may not know what was inside, but at least it was safe from the gunfire.

Inside the ship, everything looked odd and unreal. The ship stank of rotten milk. Pinky laid Dotime down inside and searched around. She found the control panel and improvised her best to pilot the ship. As they took liftoff she saw VfV's angry grimace as he continued to shoot at the ship. Pinky managed to fly far away from the mod hut.

--

Meanwhile, The Lol Man started to take hold of Jiggmin's Village. He began slowly turning it into an evil place filled with vicious monsters, demonic dogs. He called these dogs 'dropouts', as they were unruly like children that drop out of school.

After that, the Lol Man had another secret weapon. A secret weapon that allowed him to send all of the villagers to jail. He had a way to frame each and every villager for hacking. The Moderation team would do the rest of the work.

Jiggmin's Village was in chaos. Moderator Animebubble yelled out to the rest of her team, "Yes, all these people need to pay for their crime of hacking. They will ALL PAY!"

Part of this secret weapon involved a real team of evil hackers in addition to the villagers being framed. The evil hackers were pretending to be villagers and were too numerous. One hacker yelled to the moderators, "Everyone you are banning will escape their cells! There is no way you can stop them! They will kill you all!" They made the Moderators fear the innocent villagers.

===
Act 2: The Assassination
Chapter 6: Run Boy Run!
—
The villagers were all escaping their cells.

One named Loki got out of jail and he ran as fast as he could.

Two others, Alexander Nikolaevich and Inori Yuzuriha also escaped and ran for their lives. They were hiding everywhere they could. All the innocent people in Jiggmin's Village who were set up were escaping.

"As long as we stay together, we will be safe, okay?" Alexander said, patting Inori's head.

Inori looked at him and smiled, "Yes, we will be safe together."

And then they hugged and ran away, away from the commotion. They managed to evade both Moderators and hackers alike. They escaped the village and rumour has it they lived happily ever after.

Loki, however, was unlucky. After he escaped he was then surrounded by clones of local villager Player Z. He knew instantly that The Lol Man had cloned everyone in the village. These clones were the hackers and the Moderators could not tell them apart. The clones were all evil hackers doing The Lol Man's bidding.

Now that Captain Sparkworkz was dead, Jiggmin's Village was more easily conquerable by the Lol Man. No Sparkworkers to get in his way. The Lol Man continued to make as many clones as possible. And with the arrest of every innocent the less villagers get in his way too. The Lol Man's plan was succeeding.

--

Meanwhile, Pinky was paying Dotime some of his money. Even though VfV was still alive, Dotime had helped kill some of the guards, the Auto-Moderation Bots of The Kongregating Grounds. She gave Dotime 60,000 thanks coins for that. They decided to land back in Jiggmin's Village, away from VfV at the Kongregating Grounds. They landed back in Jiggmin's Village.

After landing, an alien aboard the ship woke up and met Pinky and Dotime. The alien saw Dotime limping and bleeding, so he decided to doctor Dotime.

"What the hell happened to you?" said the alien.

Dotime sighed and closed his eyes. "It was the Kongregating Grounds bots that did this crap to me, along with VfV."

===
Act 2: The Assassination
Chapter 7: The Doctor
—
"Dr. Infinity, where are you?" said a woman named Rain.

Rain was in the hottest part of Jiggmin's Village. She tried to walk around, but the sun was beating down on her. She got into a car, just about ready to give up on finding Dr. Inf, when he finally showed up.

He laughed and asked, "Have you found it?"

"It's you!" Rain rubbed her hands together and answered, "Yes! I found the Boom Hat!"

The Boom Hat was a rare trap weapon. When you wore it, it would boom you up.

Dr. Inf clapped with joy, "We will be rich! I will give it to the boss!"

But that was not really Dr. Inf's and Rain's money. In truth, this was neither the real Dr. Infinity nor the real Rain. These were clones of Dr. Infinity and Rain. Many of the evil clones were still on the loose…

Traveling along the road, Dr. Inf and Rain ran into a cat named Sandstorm. Later, they went to have a meal. Inside the restaurant they encountered a dino named Yupp, along with a female waitress named Mick, and the head chef named Cow. He loved toast, but his clone hated it. All the clones hated toast. While they waited for the food, they sat at the table taking pictures of themselves for Jiggmin's Village Comics.

Suddenly, someone named Mr. Dats, threw bread in the direction of the clones. The bread hit one of the clones, causing them to explode because of how much they hate bread.

"Take that you nub!" Mr. Dats laughed, "Now, to save Jiggmin's Villag-"

But his words were cut short as a dropout dog leaped onto and tore into Mr. Dats. The beast ripped him to shreds... But somehow Dats was still alive. He used bread again on the dropout and it also exploded.

--

Meanwhile, Loki was still running for his life from the Player Z clones, he stopped and hid in a store. Surely there must be at least one place safe? That is the moment he heard a dropout knocking over all the merchandise. It was coming for him… He was doomed.

--

Meanwhile, the alien was still performing surgery on Dotime.

Dotime, "I don't understand why The Kongregating Grounds is deciding to guard VfV! Why would they guard him even though he was corrupt in Jiggmin's Village?"

The alien replied dismissively and calmly, "Your leg is healed, you can now walk."

Dotime stood up and walked. He shook off the dull ache from his knees and smiled grimly.

"Sorry, Dotime," Pinky said. "But now I have to go now. I need to hurry and hide before VfV finds me. They will be mad that we killed so many guards."

She turned and ran to the ship they had taken, Dotime watched her go in.

"WTF!" Pinky screeched as she saw numerous clones of Vex. Each clone had their own gun and all aimed at Pinky.

"Stop right there you f***er!" Vex yelled angrily. "I've seen you with Dotime before! You know where he is. He has something I need. Help me get me Dotime's map and I'll let you go!"

Pinky thought for a moment before replying, "No," was her answer.

Dotime heard a gunshot which echoed all throughout the ship, followed by evil hysterical laughter, and then silence. Dotime ran as best he could out of the ship and saw Pinky on the ground, she was crumbled up and was very silent, he could see her breathing very slowly.

"Dotime, help..." she gasped. "Help me..."

At first it seemed that perhaps the alien could save her, but she was too grievously injured. Her breath lasted for only three more painful gasps. Then she stopped moving.

. . .

After what felt like an eternity, Dotime laid Pinky down and went to fly the ship himself. He sighed miserably. It was dangerous here, so he decided to move a bit. Still wanting to stay in Jiggmin's Village, Dotime decided to head to the Village Central.

While flying, he figured he needed new partners.

"I'm friends with the villagers Dr. Infinity and Rain. Maybe they could be my new partners," Dotime thought.

===
Act 3: The New Jiggmin's Village
Chapter 8: Live & Reloaded
—
A local villager named Kinx stumbled upon the spaceship. After entering it, he met Dotime. Both of them were on edge, Kinx because of the Jiggmin Village situation and Dotime because of the VfV situation. They talked until they trusted each other. They explained about both of their troubles completely.

"Hmmm… So what do I do now?" Dotime asked anxiously, "People in Jiggmin's Village are being torn to bits. If I try to help, the crazy people will mob me and kill me on the spot."

"I've got an idea, Dotime," said Kinx. "Ask the alien to fly us."

Dotime asked the alien to fly the ship as he went to speak to Kinx.

"What is your idea, Kinx?" Dotime asked when he approached.

Kinx told Dotime the idea. It required a shovel, a bottle of wine, a match, a female guard, and a personal bodyguard. That should be enough. Dotime wondered how he would acquire all of this.

Kinx took him to Bulletin Board Restaurant where he could find his guards for the idea. A waiter named Mike G tended to Kinx and Dotime.

"Which table would you like to be seated at?"

Dotime smiled and replied, "Table 51. Also, please sit down with us Mike. We need to talk."

"Alright then," said Mike G. He sat at the table and looked at Dotime. He even had a sip of coffee.

"I need to see a list of available bodyguards who are talented," Dotime whispered, "Show me the member list."

Mike G looked around and nodded at Dotime, "Wait here. I'll go get the list for you."

When he returned, he placed the list in front of Dotime and watched as Dotime scanned carefully. The list held all of Jiggmin's Village citizens and regulars. There were categories of people. There were strong people, funny people, clever people, happy and friendly people. But most importantly there were 'dedicated' people. Dotime's eyes landed on two names... Dr. Infinite and Rain were in that category. Just who he was thinking of.

--

Meanwhile, in the Kongregating Grounds, the guards were still hunting for Dotime, but there were no good leads. One of the guards saw the spaceship as it left. They followed it and even traced it to its exact location, but they still had no idea where Dotime went after the ship landed. Vfv hatched an idea.

"We will place a tripwire bomb in the ship," said VfV , "If he ever returns to the ship then he will explode for sure."

And so VfV and the Kongregate Moderators traveled to the ship, placed a bomb on it, and left the area. On their way back, an emergency news broadcast appeared on all public TVs in the village. "Breaking news: It appears that Dotime, the cat previously praised for saving Ringstaart, was just found dead."

"Haha, Yes! We must have killed him for sure!" VfV said, "Dead! Dotime is dead!"

"Could you tell us a bit about the deceased?" asked the reporter to Ringstaart. Ringstaart just grinned slyly, smugly even, as if he was smiling through the screen at VfV… "He was a good man."

--

Meanwhile, someone else was searching for the Timeclock, the legendary pocket watch necklace.

The dino named Yupp, went to visit two others, Camer and Mr. Dex. Yupp laughed and shared some information with the two men.

"Camer, I have obtained information on the cat," Yupp said.

"Show it to me!" Demanded Camer. Smoke bellowed out of his dragon nostrils and Yupp coughed.

"The cat is from Islip Island. He is completely grey. He is currently age 17. He is also looking for the Timeclock. He is noted to be extremely dangerous as he managed to kill Captain Sparkworkz, sir." Yupp reported, "His name is Dotime."

"Very well, very well," Camer said. "Now get Pet to spy on Dotime and any acquaintances. Watch all of those nubs."

"Yes, sir!" said Yupp with a swift salute. He hurried to arrange for the spy Pet.

Little did they know that someone was listening to them... Someone very eager to save Jiggmin's Village... Ringstaart! Ringstaart had been investigating various bad guys ever since he came back to Jiggmin's Village. He had been eavesdropping and following suspicious individuals. He knew what various people were planning and anyone who posed a threat to Dotime he would try his best to halt. It was the least he could do for Dotime, the hero that had saved his life 31 days ago from The Mountain of Fire.

Ringstaart had even followed VfV and the Kongregating Moderators to Dotime's spaceship and removed the trap bomb they had placed there. He also hastily architected a fake news broadcast to say that Dotime died so VfV would leave him be, at least until they realized that it was fake.

--

Meanwhile, the waiter, Mike G had contacted the bodyguards that Dotime had previously requested. It was only a little while later that Rain and Dr. Infinity arrived at Dotime's house. They were let in by Kinx.

"Alright, so what's the plan here?" asked the contractee, Rain.

"Two things. One, you are going to aid Dotime in finding a legendary device," replied Kinx, "Two, you are going to execute the man who killed Pinky."

"And when are we gonna get paid?" Asked the other contractee, Dr. Inf.

Dotime took 40,000 thank coins from his coffer chest and split the amount between to Rain and Dr. Inf.

"This job pays more than anything else in Jiggmin's Village," said Dotime, "I look forward to your assistance soon."

After a few days to prepare they met up again. Dotime, Rain, and Dr. Infinity began the search for the Timeclock. Dotime had kept the map safe all this time and now he felt it was right to search for it. This takes priority over revenge against VfV, who he assumed killed Pinky, as it would likely help with that too.

"Are we sure this map is correct?" Rain looked at the map, and began to consider if the wilderness outside matches the details on the map.

"The map is a ? isn't it?" replied Dotime.

Then the ship suddenly dropped into a well, it was deep and gloomy. The ship hit bumped against the walls and the floor. The control panel flashed and eventually died. They evacuated the ship and gasped.

"What the..." uttered Dr. Inf.

They all looked up and witnessed a giant monster looking down at them. It was known as the arom. The arom had poked holes in the ship and managed to blow up a few sections. The map flew out of one of these holes and into the jungle.

The arom seemed enraged by their presence. It began to grow legs and walk towards them. Dr. Inf knew he had to do something. Dr. Inf found a bazooka that they had brought with them. He wielded it, and aimed it at the monster.

"Take one more step forward and you're dead!" Dr. Inf was trying to communicate with it.

The arom swatted at Dr. Inf with its huge hands trying to crush him or knock him against a wall. It was very clearly trying to kill Dr. Inf, but he managed to dodge every attack.

"Dotime, get the f***ing map! " he shouted.

Dotime rushed to his feet. He ran in the last known direction of the map. He felt and saw little Uioak bugs eating the flesh of his tail, but it didn't deter him. He kept running to find the map.

Suddenly, a deep and croaky voice pierced Dotime's ear. "You were looking for this?"

Dotime ignored it and ran. His eyes darted around the place to look for signs of where the map could have gone, where it could have rolled or flew, but saw nothing. He kept on going ahead. The deeper he went looking for the map, the foggier it got. His eyes were finding it hard to adjust to the gloom. Red eyes appeared in the fog.

But they were not eyes. They were just marking on the bark of a tree. And on those trees were pieces of paper pinned to them with scrawled. Each note read, "Find me if you Zee me." Dotime shook his head and continued looking for the map.

--

Meanwhile, Dr. Infinity was trying to kill the monster, the arom. He fired a rocket, it hit, but it was not enough. He managed to grab another rocket while it was hit the first time. He dodged a few more swipes before reloading and shooting again, but the arom wouldn't die.

Out of the corner of his eye, Dr. Inf also saw a group of dropouts approaching. They were different looking from most dropouts he had seen out of the village. These ones were called tough-to-breaks. These ones seemed to be a special project of The Lol Man. These were more viscous, they seemed as though they could kill anyone they wanted to.

Rain zoomed ahead of Dr. Inf with a shotgun in hand. She closed in on the arom, shooting it right in the face. Finally, they managed to kill it. As it died, both Rain and Dr. Inf could hear the arom utter, "I warn you."

--

Meanwhile, in Jiggmin's Village, all who managed to escape the cells were now under the rule of their new king and queen: The Lol Man and Ms. Lila, the girl who he chooses to inhabit much of the time.

The villagers had a plan to kill The Lol Man, but they would also need a plan to get past the hacker clones first. A cat named Sladen had a plan for that part in particular. He was a hacker long before The Lol Man. Sladen used his hacking powers to give moderator powers to villagers. Now it was an even playing field. They could wage warfare against the hackers. In response, The Lol Man ordered the hackers to kill them all.

Each villager gained their own weapon from Sladen's hacking. One had the power to fire lasers through their eyes. Pet, the spy, had the power to go invisible, useful for his hiding.

"Doctor, they will kill us all!" screamed one of Lol Man's hackers.

So The Lol Man used his power to create even more hacker clones, while continuing to order them to attack the villagers. The villagers fought back fiercely. They used guns to shoot at the clones. The Moderators used banning guns on The Lol Man's men. When they ran out of ammo, they switched to using their ban hammers. The army of hackers started to flame the villagers and block.

The villagers were several men down. The whole area was filled with blood and tears.

"I've got an idea!" Animebubble said to UsbHub, while killing a hacker.

"Oh?" UsbHub replied, "What's the idea?"

"A ban," replied Animebubble.

Suddenly, UsbHub was shot in his foot from someone far away. He turned his head towards the direction of the bullet. It was VfV and his army from The Kongregating Grounds. On the top of the mountain, VfV stood, side by side with The Lol Man. An alliance they had made, to share in the conquest of Jiggmin's Village.

"Shoot them all!" cried out The Lol Man.

But the Kongregate Army did not see what was coming. The cat villager Sandstorm suddenly came out of nowhere and used a nuke to blow up the Kong Army. Suddenly, there was only silence.

Act 3: The New Jiggmin's Village
Chapter 9: Captain Sparkworkz's Revenge
—
The sky was red and smokey. That was the time when Captain Sparkwork's body was still floating in the sea with burn marks all over his body. His guns were missing. Half of the Sparkworkers were dead. Still, many boxes of spambots managed to survive. The spambots healed Captain Sparkworks and the uninhabited island that they washed ashore became their new home.

Captain Sparkworkz had caught Dotime setting the ship on fire just before he caught fire. He knew Dotime was responsible and wanted revenge. He still wanted control of Jiggmin's Village too. But he had no way of doing that. At least that was until he found something on the island.

On the island he managed to find something… A machine that can control time itself. He began to lol madly when he realized what he had found. He got some paper that survived and wrote on it in charcoal from his ship's burnt wood. He needed to formalize a plan.

He will make Dotime go back to the dark years… Yes. Yes. This is a good plan. 500 years in the future… He had an idea for that. The plan was coming along nicely.

While planning all of this, something emerged from the time gate. It was a weapon from the future. A weapon far more powerful than simple spambots or explosions. A weapon that somebody must have handcrafted just for him. On the weapon was a note that read "From the Xile." The Xile was a dear ally of Captain Sparkworkz.

"This weapon is just what I needed," said Captain Sparkworks, "Perfect."

When he was done making his plans, Captain Sparkworks entered the time gate. He was ready.

--

Meanwhile, Jiggmin's Village was now a big ring of fire.

The Lol Man survived the nuke. He was still powerful enough to control people and could mind control people to think that Dotime was the reason the war occurred and that he was the sole reason for all this fallout. He started a propaganda campaign about it. He wanted to do everything to ensure that the remaining villagers would want Dotime dead.

Enough of the Kongregate Army survived too. The Kongregate Army was angry, more angry than The Lol Man's men or the Sparkworkers even.

The Lol Man promised to make them all a new country. One that he will have total control over… But he did not get to. Clouds and smoke appeared and soon everything was a dense haze.

Everything started to feel like it was going backwards…

Afterword
—
…And this is basically the end of a JVer Story. At least what was finished of it when it was written back in JV1.

I hope you enjoyed reading it and seeing references of users or events you remember. It is a bit sad that the Kongregate Forums no longer exists. Nor does Sparkworkz. (Maybe a bit less sad about that.) The story feels a bit like a time capsule to me. A blast from the past.

Maybe more will be written someday or reimagined as a new story. There are some small extra bits written throughout the years, but nothing worth posting here.

===
Some More Context
—
Dotime is both the name of the user/villager, but also their primary OC. The character Dotime is an anthropomorphic cat loosely inspired by Conker from Conker's Bad Fur Day. This is why Dotime is the King of the Dogs, at the beginning of the story, because he is inspired by Conker who becomes king against his will at the end of his first game. Dotime is called Dotime because he "does time" meaning he time travels. So you could say he is also inspired a bit by Link from Legend of Zelda... If you want to know more about Dotime just ask Dotime, he's actively working on more Dotime related content. He is working on games, stories, and art about Dotime.

The Lol Man was a creepypasta character invented by Dotime. Some of the stories about The Lol Man are lost to time. Basically the idea is The Lol man is the ghost of a man, a doctor, from centuries ago that can inhabit PR2 or PR3. He can glitch the game out and force everyone to type 'lol' over and over. He does blood related stuff because all creepypasta characters do. His is often accompanied is Ms. Lila (she didn't have a name back then) who is often portrayed as a nameless character on PR2 or PR3. She might be a witch or something, idk.

There are some references to Noob.txt in the story. Noob.txt was a compilation of funny quotes from PR2 and JV. Often there were sentences with typos, or grammatically incorrect sentences, bizarre statements, or just random nonsense. By present day standards it would probably be considered 'brainrot'.

Kongregate is a highly successful flash game website. It used to have game-specific forums on it. A lot of JV mods and admins were also mods and admins on Kongregate's PR2 sub-forum.

Sparkworkz was an extremely unsuccessful flash game website. It used to have a forum in it. It was notoriously bad, being poorly moderated, was hosted on extremely unreliable servers, and filled with spambots by advertisers. Sparkworkz was owned by the parent company inXile. Sparkworkz and Jiggmin likely had some kind of contract with each other that prevented PR3 to be published anywhere else, basically forcing players to use its awful site and also dooming PR3 to obscurity. Sparkworkz was often portrayed as evil due to its neglectfulness.

A user of Sparkworkz volunteered to promote the site. He called himself Captain Sparkworkz among other names and was granted Mod status on Sparkworkz for his efforts. Many falsely attributed him as either being an owner or employee for Sparkworkz, when in reality he was just an unpaid volunteer. Still, when people feel the need to take their frustrations out on Sparkworkz, a faceless company, they need a face to do so, and unfortunately for him he acted as the de facto face of Sparkworkz. (Either way both Sparkworkz and the online persona of Captain Sparkworkz are long dead so I doubt this still haunts him.)

The vast majority of the villagers in this story probably don't talk or behave like how the actual villagers did/do. They're mostly just references for the sake of references. Named characters for the sake of having named characters.

I'm not going to comment on who VFV was lol. Someone else can do that if they want to.]]> <![CDATA[The Spaceship (Story / RP)]]> https://jiggmin2.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=5099 Thu, 17 Apr 2025 23:06:39 +0000 Sunlight123]]> https://jiggmin2.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=5099 (Think of it like an experimental TTRPG game. I am the GM.)

The story in one sentence:
You awaken in what seems to be "the future", on a spaceship, with no memory of your past, and you are now expected to integrate into this unfamiliar, yet familiar, society.


The Rules

Joining

In order to join all you have to do is:
  1. Say you want to.
  2. Create Character.
After that you will be added in. (I will write how - Probably the same way as everyone else.)

Note: You don't have to have read any of the previous story to join since your character knows nothing anyways. Of course, knowing more will help you figure out what you want to do with your character though.

Character Creation

Everyone will awake as an amnesiac. Therefore, Do Not Create a Backstory. You do not know your character's backstory, if they have one at all.

Create a Name. Preferably a Legal Name:
(First Name + Surname. Ex: Jon Doe / Jane Doe)

Create an Appearance and Characteristics:
  1. Sex / Gender (As Vague as You Want)
  2. Age (Approximate)
  3. Cosmetic Stuff: Skin Tone, Eye Color, Hair, Hair Color, Body Type, Tall/Short, Body Markings, ect.
  4. Disabilities/Special Abilities: Bad Eyesight/Good Eyesight, Paraplegic/Limp, Severe Color Blindness, Hypermobility, ect.

For simplicity's sake, let's say you can only be a Human.

To Participate

You perform whatever you want to. No restrictions. (Just don't break forum rules.) If rules need to be invented we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

Try to match other posters' energy. I will try my best as well.

About Not Participating

Let's say you choose to not post, or you forget to post, or you miss a bit, or you quit forever, or quit temporarily: Don't worry! There is no expectation to participate. If you do not act in a time appropriate manner, your character will simply be idle. In lore this is known as "Sudden Sleep Disorder", or in other words, "your character spontaneously fell asleep", probably while standing. (More explained in story/lore.)

Disclaimers

The story will include various dark themes from time to time: IE. Death, Murder, Basic Gore, ect. Participate at your own discretion if you have triggers. I also will likely use swears occasionally.

Additionally, I, as the gamemaster, am fallible. I may misinterpret your intents and actions and may make your character behave differently than how you would expect.

Also, I am making this semi-spontaneously. I have no idea how little/much traction this will get, so I have not planned too far ahead, so bare with my skills or lack thereof please.

Everything Must One Day End

Everything gets boring. Everything has a perfect time to die for dramatic effect. At some point, potentially never, the story/scenario may end. Also, at some point prior to this, I may decide to permanently "kill off" your character.

There's a strong chance this might never happen, that we never get this far, but just know that it can happen, and if this goes on infinitely, it will. After a story/scenario ends permanently, a new one will be created with different circumstances.

If your character gets killed off permanently, you are allowed to make a new one. Also, if you want to see your character be permanently killed off, either because you want a new character, or because you want to quit, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

FAQ

If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask.
Any comments or suggestions let me know.


The Spaceship

Over the Intercom - A Robotic Male Voice:
  "A New Member: Sonny Sunlight has awakened."

  A sleek, white-painted, titanium pod releases steam. At the front of it, a curved door with an opaque sky-blue window glides out and upwards, like a moth wing emerging from a cocoon. As it does, the dark interior is revealed along with the body situated inside. They are a pale man, unconscious, with long, tangled, brown hair. Then, the chamber brightens with deep marine-colored neon lights inside.

  For a second, the blinding lights pierce his eyes as he comes to. His crusty eyes flutter open gently.

Sonny Sunlight:
  "W-Wuh... Where am I?" are his first words upon his rebirth. He pulls himself up out of the pod. White fluorescent lights and boring off-white greets him. Sonny takes note that the room has many, many, more pods. Most of them are closed, but various random ones are open.

  At the far wall of the room, what appears as a young adult, pink-haired, female, nurse behind a windowed desk meets eyes with Sonny. She then opens the door between the win-desk and the chamber room.

  She approaches with gray clothes in hand for Sonny and an awkward smile on her face.

Before I share my insight on foreign instruments and such, let's touch base on the MIDI subject, first. You see, there are a lot of musical instruments out there. A lot of them are MIDI based instruments that you can attach to your audio interface and hook up to your computer, playing real time. But hey, a lot of us aren't really musically gifted like that, and because of that, you rely on the computer to play the instruments for you, after you've found some samples for FL Studio, Logic Pro, Pro tools, studio one, or whatever music software you use.

Sure, virtual instruments are nice as hell, but you're not really putting your fingers to work, learning anything. A lot of us don't know how to read music notes, play a song in real time, and if you do, you understand where I'm going with this. You see, Keyboards, guitars, and drum pads aren't the only type of MIDI hardware controller out there. You got all kinds of MIDI wind instruments and anything else here:

But that's not the point. The point is to find out what is the most difficult, frustrating musical instrument you've ever played before. A lot of us see and hear our favorite song artists be able to express such magnificent talent with the guitar and the piano (most popular instruments), on a virtuoso level. Obviously it's because they've been doing it for a long time since childhood, maybe. Unless you're a savant and you were born with this incredible skill set; you have to learn.

If you're a savant, you can play anything because you already understand music theory and your mind instinctively knows the mechanics behind the instrument, or you'll catch on very quickly when learning how to play a new instrument. But most of us on JV are not savants here, I don't think. Even if you don't understand music theory, you've at least developed the desire to play a musical instrument in your life before. Or even as a child, you wanted to play something.

Most of us are naturally drawn towards wanting to play the piano, guitar, drums, violin, strings, and the flute. The reason is because they're THE most popular set of instruments that you will hear in most song bands, concerts, radio stations, etc. Perhaps the easiest instrument to learn is the piano because all you have to do is just press keys and it makes a sound. Strumming the guitar can be quite challenging, in my opinion.

While some of you may only surround yourselves with the above instruments and choose to isolate yourselves from other instruments that you probably didn't know existed, you're limiting yourselves to a plethora of musical instruments that you probably didn't know, existed.

I know a lot of you out there are 3D artists, you're very talented and you're a master at your craft. Or, some of you are trash when it comes to drawing, so you quit to avoid embarrassment. You may have a passion for anime and you love Japanese artwork. You're aware of a few popular anime shows like Naruto, One Piece, Attack on Titan, Dragonball Z, Dragon's Dogma, etc. You see your favorite characters in action and the next thing you know, you end up drawing them because they happen to express the way you feel in reality.

Artists aren't born overnight. Unless you're a savant. In order to become really good at your craft, you end up going to school and taking classes. You create an idea in your head but you just don't know how to express it, you're unaware of the dimensions of your masterpiece, how your character is going to turn out, or anything else. You're uncertain of the unknown, so you begin drawing the first thing that comes to mind.

If you screw it up at first... try again. You think you're good, only to have someone with more experience, give you deconstructive criticism, telling you that your artwork is straight trash and ass! Don't let those people prohibit you from picking up that pencil and trying again, or picking up that mouse and designing again.

You happen to notice a lot of really gifted drawers out there who can draw their asses off. These people end up drawing for cartoon shows, they might be into graphic design, their artwork ends up in 'hall of fame' museums where they're showcased for millions to see, and they're even in your favorite video games. But they're levels to this sort of thing. It could take years to reach such an unfathomable level of being able to draw ANYTHING. Here's my perspective of the whole issue:

Novice- You're inexperienced and you know absolutely nothing about drawing, textures, lines, shapes, values, colors, forms, or space. You're picking up that pencil trying to create something really fascinating, but then you get stuck because you don't understand the dimensions and principles that goes along with your imagination. There are so many things to learn at this stage, and could take you years to become a pro, depending on your consistency and time management. So you end up drawing something really terrible, perhaps in 2D art form like this:
.jpg   terrible_fan_art_quiz.jpg (Size: 22.66 KB / Downloads: 1137)

Intermediate- You've got some experience with drawing or painting and you understand texture, lines, shapes, etc. At this point in your craft, you should be able to draw simple things like shapes, basic inanimate objects, simple 3D dimensional boxes, people, and you're aware of how to give your artwork a shadow to make it stand out and look more appealing.

Although you are beginning to understand what direction to take your artwork in, you still have a lot to learn about deeper insights into shapes, form, design, etc. You may even begin to create abstract art. Not to mention you should be able to draw some decent looking sketches. So, your typical work (at this level) should look like this:
.jpg   DVRCWO4VoAAkx-y.jpg (Size: 110.56 KB / Downloads: 1221)

Advanced- At this point, you've gained deeper insight into the art world and you're able to draw more improved sketches of famous people and appealing things like jewelry, beautiful vacation places, draw sketches of animals, etc. Also, you are fully aware of how to make your drawings look far more realistic than before. Not only have you mastered creativity and physical dexterity, you've also been able to develop memory towards how to start, where to start, what to add, its dimensions and form, and more.

This is more of college level drawing at this stage in your craft, where you're highly technical and you understand more things like rhythm, balance, hierarchy, proportion, etc. You also know how to draw something in front of another thing, making it look realistic as possible. So, at this level, you're artwork should look like this:

.jpg   927d733ad9d79b33a84d285a3174afe4.jpg (Size: 117.81 KB / Downloads: 1206)

Master- Instead of getting inspiration from the things you see on tv, movies, video games, comic books, or anything else... you're your own inspiration. You're able to draw things off the fly and the time it takes for you to draw something or think about what to draw, is diminished, while your creativity is spiraled. You should know a lot about texture, shape, rhythm, balance, hierarchy, proportion, form, emphasis, movement, color, contrast, unity, pattern, value, space, etc.

The list goes on and on. You may think you're a boss at drawing, painting, sketching, graphic design, or anything else. But you still have a lot to learn because the minute you stop learning, you fall behind and spin in circles when introduced to new material. You're beyond college level, but you still have a few more things to learn. But hey, in the mean time, your work should look like this:
.jpg   f6a78ededd4f30aa769f4f63e6d267c3.jpg (Size: 63.83 KB / Downloads: 1214)

BOSS- Now that you have a broad understanding of what makes an extravagant, exquisite, and elegant art design, let's step outside your comfort zone and stretch your imaginations, giving you something that you cannot even begin to process in the physical realm. You've gotten it from the title... 4D Artwork Dimension. I like to define this as 'The Artwork coming to you'. In order to understand this, you must understand how optical illusions work, and how to differentiate between regular drawings versus optical illusion drawings.

At this level, you should be going above and beyond, drawing more technical things, instead of limiting yourself to just regular, creative 3D artwork. The ability to be able to make others think that the drawing looks like it's coming to life, adding more technical variations to your 3D artwork, separates you from all the other 3D artists out there, who may have not reached this level, yet.

If you can draw at this level, you've proven yourself to be a GOD in the art world, and more significantly, you nearly know everything about everything with art, graphic design, painting, sculptures, etc. I'd say in the 90-99 percentile. At this level, you begin to draw things like this:

.jpg   b0b79e9c7012e5d4cf092df46f0ec1f0.jpg (Size: 39.19 KB / Downloads: 880)

Ultimately, you get the picture by now, and hopefully you've learned something today. On the other hand, I would like to know what level you're on when it comes to drawing, graphic design, creating sculptures, painting, etc. Do you enjoy what you do, how long have you done it, and have you gotten frustrated attempting to move to a higher level of artwork? Or maybe you're just one of those people who like to read threads but don't comment or vote... That's fine too! Input is welcome and so is voting! Feel free to express your comments below, or even if you want to share any type of personal artwork of any kind, then you're more than welcome!]]> Inside the Mind of an Artist

Ultimately, you get the picture by now, and hopefully you've learned something today. On the other hand, I would like to know what level you're on when it comes to drawing, graphic design, creating sculptures, painting, etc. Do you enjoy what you do, how long have you done it, and have you gotten frustrated attempting to move to a higher level of artwork? Or maybe you're just one of those people who like to read threads but don't comment or vote... That's fine too! Input is welcome and so is voting! Feel free to express your comments below, or even if you want to share any type of personal artwork of any kind, then you're more than welcome!]]> <![CDATA[The Saddest Minor Musical Scale]]> https://jiggmin2.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=3311 Mon, 15 Feb 2021 18:03:00 +0000 Different]]> https://jiggmin2.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=3311 As you all know, most songs that you've heard such as Hip Hop, Rap, Rock n' Roll, and Heavy Metal have been relatively know for utilizing the Minor Scale. All your favorite songs that consists of the genres above (for those of you who do not know), utilize the Minor Scale to express depression, anger, and hard times.

If you're a musical enthusiast like me, and you love to rip the lyrics out of your favorite song, attempting to use your good ear and figure out what scale this song might be in, then this is for you and you understand what I'm talking about.

You see, I've seen discussions on JV about Pr2 Music, your favorite song, etc. But I haven't seen a discussion where someone started off taking a poll, asking others 'what is the saddest minor key scale within all 12 of the musical notes'. Since I'm outnumbered by 7 extra scales, and the poll uses a maximum of 10 answers, I'll have to arrange the questions so that they make sense. But for now, take a look at these 12 Minor Key Scales and tell me which one of these do you hear playing in your head whenever you're angry, depressed, or going through hard times.

In other words, that ONE scale that sends signals to your brain, activating a kill switch and provoking you to get up and fight someone, or perhaps hitting the gym because you want to get into shape! Or how about this... maybe you feel motivated to go accomplish something but you just haven't heard the right song playing the right Minor Key Scale. You get the picture by now. Even the right Chord Progressions can send signals to your brain!

Music tends to control our emotions whenever we first hear it, and when you listen to your favorite song many times, your subconscious mind is constantly absorbing the sounds of the instruments that all come together inside, the scale that it's being played in (if you understand Music Theory), and constantly dissecting the mood of the song and how it makes you feel.

So for example, if I'm listening to Hip Hop such as The Migos, or maybe a Rap Song such as Kodak Black, or perhaps a Heavy Metal Song such as Black Sabbath or Motörhead, then I'm going to dissect those songs and figure out how they make me feel, or if you want to get deep into it, figure out the Minor Scale that they're being played in (without the lyrics). These aren't my favorite songs, but it's just an example for those of you who might not be widely enthusiastic and passionate about music, or don't understand scales. Everybody is different, so don't assume that a certain genre of a song is going to make them feel a certain way that you think.

There are no right or wrong answers based on the poll because a lot of people have different opinions. However, I have heard that D Minor maybe the saddest scale out there. So if you do vote in the poll or want to give me your opinion, then please tell me why you chose this certain scale and what kind of affect it has on you, mentally. I need as much input as possible. Elaborate and share your thoughts below. All these scales are in the Natural Minor Scale.

If you're into making your own music, then you understand how complicated it can be to come up with a new melody sometimes.

- Key is E flat of some sort ? (major, minor, neutral microtonal extravangaza, it's up to you and you'll see why)
- Between 16 and 32 bars/measure
- You can only use 6 DIFFERENT notes, inlcuding E flat

Basically, within an octave, you'll only be able to choose from 6 notes total throughout the entire piece. This also applies to pitched percussion. Unpitched percussion are unaffected by this.

For example, I could go with Eb, F, G, Ab, Bb, and C. The point of this week is to experiment stuff with only half the usual playing field.

Have fun !
