"From NPR News in Washington, I'm Jack Speer. The Department of Comment Sections is preparing for Hate Week. Spokesperson JamishT has sent out invitations to all who eligible, and predicts that this year will be highly successful. On the news, the Dow Jones Industrial surged 200 points. Republican Senator Ben Sasse of Nebraska has introduced a bill making it illegal drill for oil in..."
Your breath catches in your throat, making you feel like Bert's mother on any given night. You rush to your mailbox, and there it is. A simple envelope, containing a simple invitation from me. Also there's a hologram of the video, somehow, because in this 2018, paper letters can contain those.
WELCOME TO HATE WEEK 2018
That's right, it's time for Hate Week! For those who don't know, Hate Week is based on having fun. It's about coming up with the most creative insults, conspiracy theories, and imaginary slander you can, while another forum member does it back. It's all in good fun, so there's no reason to actually be mean or be concerned that your feelings will be hurt.
Sign ups will be open until midnight (Central Time) AUGUST 14th. That's right, a week for you decide to do the right thing and sign up! At some point that night, I will message you the name of your partner. That is who you will be "hating" on for Hate Week!
Hate Week will be AUGUST 17-24th, that's a Friday to Friday, because weeks start on Friday now!
RULES AND GUIDELINES:
1. Don't be serious. This isn't the time for you to lash out at your partner and make them feel bad about themselves. Be silly, creative, and mischievous.
2. Don't hate on people that aren't involved, unless they post in the General Hate thread (and even then, limit your hating on them to that specific thread).
3. Respect your partner. If they (or a Mod) tell you that you went too far, apologize and dial it back a bit or try another angle. Respect your partner enough to speak up if you become uncomfortable. If that speaking up is just PMing me or another Mod, that's perfectly acceptable.
4. Label all posts and threads. Thread titles must end with "(HW)" and posts must have the following disclaimer at the end:
"This post is brought to you by Hate Week"
5. HAVE FUN!
