I haven't read the story in its entirety, but Unstable Foundations is not the tutorial anymore.

Free-to-play currently has a tutorial which involves a series of beginner tasks (involving the task system) without an overarching, connecting story.

However, it is possible, although I am not sure, that all new accounts are currently given the 14 day membership trial. If this is indeed so, unless Bob Jones had created his account and not played for 14 days or something (perhaps you could have him do that...), he should have ended up with the Troll Warzone tutorial.

And to clarify, *this* paragraph of mine:

'Free-to-play currently has a tutorial which involves a series of beginner tasks (involving the task system) without an overarching, connecting story.'

...does not refer to the Troll Warzone.

Even apart from the membership trial, you see, the tutorial in the free game is no longer Unstable Foundations. It hasn't been Unstable Foundations for a while, in fact, even before the Troll Warzone was released.

How wasn't it the tutorial before the Troll Warzone? It replaced tutorial island... Seriously, how was it NOT before the Troll Warzone? Also why are we having this discussion? It's just a tutorial... Roses are grey, violets are grey, I'm in Pompeii, I'm lost.

Interesting story. The script format brings back nostalgia. Keep writing. :)

Good/Evil/In between: depends if they eat potatoes
Special talent: Is a potato mage, can cast spells related to potatoes. Her specialty is the all-seeing potato, which lets her fortune tell/ see long distances.
Other: Potatoes are not for eating they are for loving and treating like children
Derpiness factor: Not very derp, but pretty crazy.

Yey! New character! Btw the derpiness equation is:
D=derpiness
S=strangeness
(=craziness
)=creepiness
T=derp trigger

The equation is
D=T+S[(/)]


so your character's derpiness factor is... 7. Roses are grey, violets are grey, I'm in Pompeii, I'm lost.

You misunderstand me.

Unstable Foundations was *once* the tutorial, but it was not the tutorial *immediately* before the Troll Warzone.

It ceased to be the tutorial a while ago, *even before* the Troll Warzone was released - It was not that Unstable Foundations stopped being the tutorial when Troll Warzone came out.

*Even before* the Troll Warzone was released, there was a different tutorial, and I believe that different tutorial *still exists*.

Go on, make a new account. Decline your free membership trial if you can - if you can't, don't log in and instead wait 14 days.

Then log into the free game. You'll see that Unstable Foundations *is not* the tutorial, for it *has not been for a while*.

Chapter 7: Admiral Pie

In a friends chat
James: YES! I got a fish mask!
Iskwil: Nice!
Bob: Gratz.

Outside of the chat...

Jad: *tugging at James' pant leg*
James: Yes?
Jad: Can i haz da fish tingy?
James: Jad, if you eat this, there will be one less rare in Runescape...
Jad: It's a rare?
James: It's gonna be...
Jad: Aww... me hate rares, they taste bad... :(
James: That's ok...
???: (to her potato) Don't go near that fish-man! Once you're near him, just like that you're an admiral pie!
James: Who are you? And no i'm not a real fish, i just have a fish mask...
???: Oh, i'm Allioss! *puts ear near her potato* No, he's just wearing a fish mask. Sorry for worrying...
James: Why are you talking to a potato...?
Allioss: I'm a tatermancer, a mage who uses potato spells!
James: So you're a potato whisperer and potato mage?
Allioss: Yup!
Jad: Can I eat your brown thing?
Allioss: I WILL DESTROY YOU IF YOU EAT IT!
Jad: O_O *backs away*
James: So if you care for regular potatoes... what about rotten potatoes and cave potatoes?
Allioss: Those too! Of course, rotten potatoes are dead, so i make them graves. The cave potatoes are the dwarven version of regular ones.
James: Hm. Wanna join my friend's friends chat? His username is Bob Jones.
Allioss: Ok! As long as he likes potatoes! *joins*

in the friends chat...

Bob: Who's the new person?
James: That's Allioss! She loves potatoes! Allioss, this is Bob Jones.
Allioss: Hi!
Bob: Cool! you like eating french fries?
Allioss: *gasp* That's cannibalism!
Bob: Oh, then you like potatoes in THAT way... sorry...
Allioss: That's ok.
Iskwil: U like SoF?
Allioss: I'm ok with it :P I'd like it alot if it were potato themed! :D
Iskwil: Good.
James: That's Iskwil. He loves SoF.
Epic: Potatoes are stupid. Their only use is for tuna potatoes as food and admiral pies.
Allioss: WHAT!? :@ *teleports to Epic and casts "Potato's assault" (a god spell)*
Epic: Crap! *dies*
Allioss: lawlz! :D

The winning a fish mask was a real event.

End of Chapter #6 Roses are grey, violets are grey, I'm in Pompeii, I'm lost.
