What happens if everyone adds one word to a story?

addoneword.com — This site lets you add one word to a never ending story. Submitted words which get +5 votes are added to the story. Could the story end up being any good? Or will it turn out to be a load of rubbish? Who knows...

  • IamBobX, on 10/11/2007, -6/+62If this makes front page, I wonder how quickly it will crash
    • chedabob, on 10/11/2007, -16/+3Yeah. Mad props to whichever ***** managed to put "*****" twice in a row and break it.
      • chedabob, on 10/11/2007, -2/+3Meh, it fixed itself :p
        • ricerfuel, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1well its finally crashed..you can tell its digg with all the gay digg references..
    • firearcade, on 10/11/2007, -1/+15Its not crashing, but this just got made:

      "Then John took drugs to see reality but God said to RoguesDoItFromBehind that drugs are bad mmmmkay."
      • hiPpymIck, on 10/11/2007, -1/+14"Ubuntu is a piece of cake which can be installed by....Hitler"

        so near ...yet so far
    • banthis, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2It's already f'd up :S
    • MikeonTV, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11No crash but digg ***** it up ....SPAAAARTAAAAAA
    • Hossimo, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Oh what a flaming mess this one is!
    • demodawid, on 10/11/2007, -0/+19"Elvis is transforming into a banana shaped like a banana . Banana banana hammock ThisIsYourBossGetBackToWork OkSorryBoss."
      Am I the only one stupid enough to find that HILARIOUS?
    • percent3f, on 10/11/2007, -0/+32"Anyways, how old is my dog WilliamShatner when he warps through my pajamas . However you might enjoy Linux because it is is is is is is is is is is is is is CCCCOMBOBREAKER WIN! WIN! WIN! Anyway I love my my NINTENDOSIXTYFOUR! *****!"

      Ah, I love the internet.
    • themastersb, on 10/11/2007, -8/+2SPARTAAAAAAAAAAAAA
    • MrLobster, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Finally, a website to reveal the wisdom of the masses once and for all =)
  • narc, on 10/11/2007, -5/+389"this story will reach 100,000 words, the size of a book, in about a month!"

    With the Digg effect I give it one day to be a thesis about Bush, the iPhone and about a hundred AMAZING pics.
    • KMye, on 11/04/2007, -2/+70I don't know how fast it's actually going to go. There's been fighting about what Heather's going to suck for the last five minutes...
    • royale, on 10/11/2007, -3/+13I was this close to getting her to suck "out" poison.

      But I guess then it would be a debate about where the poison is sucked out from.
    • KingBabi, on 10/11/2007, -0/+70I lost my faith in humanity after reading this.
    • bsankr, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8and paris hilton
    • Eldorian, on 10/11/2007, -0/+38It's said that monkeys hitting random keys for an infinite amount of time will eventually be able to complete Shakespeare's work.

      Unfortunately the same theory doesn't seem to work with Digg.
      • iamtheinternet, on 10/11/2007, -0/+20That's because monkeys aren't douchebags.
        • andburn1, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1That is one of the deepest things I have ever seen on my monitor.


          That sounded pretty wrong.
    • Steyr47, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7You wish Digg could develop a thesis.
      • andburn1, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5Well I've got a good mission statement: Digg strives to create a community based resource to promote news, culture, and cooperation... and anything made by Apple... and Kevin Rose's last *****... and misconceptions about law, the constitution, the state of current government policy... that AMAZING pic... and also, to constantly reassure you that you are, as you have always known, always right.
    • brianez21, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9"Kevin Rose wanked with Pikachu and jigglypuff until until he came and dugg iPhone stories."

      WTF??
    • staxofmax, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Democracy in action.
    • UnstableMind, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7OMFG, I've never laughed so hard, it's a book about Digg...
    • slickhare, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Don't forget "ADDICTING" games...
  • miriclaire, on 10/11/2007, -14/+2It's only six words long! I added a word, but I don't get the voting thing.
    • jontheman, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4All you do is click the + or - next to a red word to vote. A bit like digg's comment voting. If it gets to +5 votes, it gets added to the story.
  • estvir, on 10/11/2007, -3/+290So far the words up for vote are a bunch of swear words.

    I think it was a bad idea submitting it to Digg, try somewhere with a slightly higher overall 'maturity' and age. :o
    • StingerMS, on 10/11/2007, -0/+36"In the event of an out of place word appearing, it may be deleted or changed to help the story to make sense."

      ROFL. Good luck.
    • roomforpanic, on 10/11/2007, -0/+18I wish everyone would just open a Word document and type all the swear words and sex words they can think of so we can all participate in something like this without including CockAndBalls.
    • insovietrussia, on 10/11/2007, -3/+8Good to see that the white supremacists have already hijacked it with racist slurs. Don't you just love people...
    • SonnyW, on 10/11/2007, -1/+31"However you might enjoy Linux because it is is is is is is is is is is is is is CCCCOMBOBREAKER"

      ... Oh wow.
      • disabled4diggin, on 10/11/2007, -1/+27This is why we can't have nice things.
    • user99923, on 10/11/2007, -6/+2Thanks, diggtards, for ruining something that had potential to be great.
      • chilekillr, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2But it is great.
      • andburn1, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1It IS great. We are great. We are The People. The Retarded People. ALL HAIL!!
    • Ohnodonho, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Maybe you can submit the story on the wayback machine's archive of digg from about maybe 1 or 2 years ago. Maybe it archived the old diggers as well. Man I miss the old digg.
    • rappermas, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3If you want maturity, get off the internet.
  • devilbody, on 10/11/2007, -3/+76"John rose quietly to avoid being heard leaving. *****, ***** this"

    That had be laughing hysterically after reading the concept of the site.
    • Samn, on 10/11/2007, -3/+14"John rose quietly to avoid being heard leaving. *****, ***** this .Where is my ***** Jetpack! Meanwhile, Heather was going to suck my hairy balls . She protested when the nasty taste reached her mouth and she looked amazed at the huge throbbing monster in my pants . Wow! She screamed as she bounced on my trampoline . After a while she died again and again and again and kevinrose died too."
    • leftnut, on 10/11/2007, -0/+27Not hard to tell where Digg users came into play, is it?
  • hbazerbashi, on 10/11/2007, -5/+58From the words added so far it feels like this story will end up to be some sick sexual story!
    • nick1000, on 10/11/2007, -0/+15But the amazing thing is that most of the story is quite follows correct grammatical formations.
      • Monstradamus, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9"Banana banana hammock ThisIsYourBossGetBackToWork OkSorryBoss." yep... sure is
    • Twice, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6I wonder HAMMERTIME haPPENS ifWords OneAtATime everyBody Comments onDiGG
  • Wonderkind, on 10/11/2007, -3/+107Meanwhile. I did "Meanwhile". Now I can tell chicks I'm an author.
  • someguy07x, on 10/11/2007, -25/+3Digg me up.
    • chilekillr, on 10/11/2007, -3/+4Digg me down.
      • andburn1, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1No one gets what they want on Digg. Say something, and the opposite will happen.

        DIGG ME DOWN. ***** with your mind there, ain't I? Cuz now, if you digg me down, you'll be playing into my hands, but if you digg me up... you'll be digging... me up. Hmm. I HAD A POINT THERE.
  • nufan00, on 10/11/2007, -9/+1It's a fun idea. I don't care if the book suck!

    I was able to add some words so I'm happy overall.
  • psevium, on 11/04/2007, -6/+102"John rose quietly to avoid being heard leaving. *****, ***** this .Where is my ***** Jetpack! Meanwhile, Heather was going to suck my hairy balls . She protested when the nasty taste"

    This looks like it'll be awesome
  • AiNiji, on 10/11/2007, -4/+40It would be better if it didn't consist of hairy balls and such...
    • adnams, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1ahhh like so much in life, cant remember how many times i have thought things would be so much better without all the hairy balls and such!
    • adnams, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1that's life my Friend
  • Lochie, on 10/11/2007, -4/+58Hahahaha this is going to turn out so bad. Dugg.
  • KMye, on 10/11/2007, -2/+34Maybe 10 votes would be a better threshhold...
    • Phearce, on 10/11/2007, -0/+20maybe having logins would be a deterrent
      • g3r4, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11Logins with this in the ToS.

      • moocow1452, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Nah, Bug me not.com would go haywire.
  • Troopy, on 10/11/2007, -4/+18Rofl. Trust everyone to turn it into a porn story - "John rose quietly to avoid being heard leaving. *****, ***** this .Where is my ***** Jetpack! Meanwhile, Heather was going to suck my hairy balls . She protested when the nasty taste reached her mouth and she looked amazed at the huge throbbing monster in my pants . Wow! She screamed as she bounced on my trampoline ."
    • g3r4, on 10/11/2007, -0/+14Porn plus digg disses.

      "Digg.com should fix the stupid comment system and apologize to us for being gay with cowboys and MichaelJackson ."
  • sariel, on 10/11/2007, -1/+13already it turns out to be a very bad porn story........
  • fylb, on 10/11/2007, -3/+2Mhhh, that's a kind ok "cadavre exquis"
  • ShadowLady, on 10/11/2007, -9/+3After a while she died again and again and again and kevinrose died too. Yes i did one of those agains!!
  • kaemaril, on 10/11/2007, -5/+182Apparently the answer to 'what happens if everyone adds one word to a story?' is ... 'you become an immature thirteen-year old'.
    • gann, on 10/11/2007, -1/+23redesign the page with some myspace template and it'll be perfect
    • nerd64, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4you know you miss those days
  • isseki, on 10/11/2007, -2/+100"Could the story end up being any good? Or will it turn out to be a load of rubbish? Who knows..."
    I know. It will turn out to be a load of rubbish. Welcome to the internet.
    • int19h, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5And who would have known? Your comment made me laugh. :-D
    • mikewitt, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5I think you mean internetS (It's plural now).
      • troglodytejb, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6i think you mean the intertubes, or for the digger with a bent for formality, the intert00bs.
  • mercurysquad, on 10/11/2007, -15/+2Duh. This and other tons of similar 'games' either originated, or were popularized on college confidential ( http://talk.collegeconfidential.com ), like 3 years ago. I know because one of my threads there was hugely popular, though the story turned out ... a bit weird. But an amazingly great read.
  • bw007, on 10/11/2007, -9/+6Huge, pants, bounced and .

    My work here is done.
  • XA04, on 10/11/2007, -4/+3I think it's broken. Story seems to be staying the same now :(
  • jbcaco, on 10/11/2007, -1/+20interesting concept, the only problem i saw with it is that it was moving too fast. by the time i was trying to vote for a new word or add a word as an option for vote, a new word had already been added or voted for.
    • XA04, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5That's true, but when you managed to actually get a word in it's like OMGZ I RULZ!
  • rewozz, on 10/11/2007, -7/+3What happens is that the site crashes after 10 minutes.
  • Colt4cm, on 10/11/2007, -3/+2i think its crashed
  • Lochie, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1Seems to be frozen.....
  • iziizi, on 10/11/2007, -8/+1its bloody funny so far "Where is my f|_|cking Jetpack"
  • nubnub, on 10/11/2007, -3/+10John rose quietly to avoid being heard leaving. *****, ***** this .Where is my ***** Jetpack! Meanwhile, Heather was going to suck my hairy balls . She protested when the nasty taste reached her mouth and she looked amazed at the huge throbbing monster in my pants . Wow! She screamed as she bounced on my trampoline . After a while she died again and again and again and kevinrose died too. THEN IT CRASHED AND EVERYBODY DIED IN A FLAMING FIREBALL OF DEATH.

    It was only Christmas but was hep *****
  • kalidav, on 10/11/2007, -10/+2This is so news-worthy. *yawn*
  • sponeil, on 10/11/2007, -3/+53Sounds like a variation of the "infinite number of monkeys with typewriters" scenario.
    • moyrai, on 10/11/2007, -0/+34I suspect that the monkeys would come up with something a little more creative.
    • bennybertow, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9Though it looks like monkeys could write something better...
    • mikewitt, on 10/11/2007, -0/+26I think this is more like "an infinite number of monkeys with one typewriter"
  • basingrad, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4It's crashed. And the plot just wasn't going anywhere.
  • somebodies, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1aha, it starts again
  • StingerMS, on 10/11/2007, -1/+26Right now it's full of swear words and sexual innuendos.

    Yay Digg!
    • volonix, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2'suck my hairy balls' is not a sexual innuendo.
  • quickcomment, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8As a strange point of reference, does anyone remember the (failed?) experiment by Troma in the 90s to create a script for a "Class of Nuke'em High" sequel by having 40-60 fans e-mailing in 2 pages of worth of script over the course of several months?

    I don't know if they were EVER actually going to use the script, but IIRC, by the time they got to about page 30 or so, it had gotten way out of hand. I seem to remember the only rules were that a certain line of dialogue or reference had to be in every segment of the script. The plot ended up featuring a sex midget super-soldier, an alien or demon invasion, and group of lesbian gym coaches, but I lost interest before the project came to a close.
    • xike, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6So, what was wrong with the submitted plot?
    • aelias, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Sounds like a Troma flick to me. Print that bitch straight to DVD!
  • berktt, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7They need a better system. Each time I click vote, there is already a new word!!! Imagine how many times people are refreshing this page... This page is doomed to crash, sooner or later.
  • nuketrap, on 10/11/2007, -2/+36So many people are ruining it so far
  • Crazymaniacc, on 10/11/2007, -1/+73Digg ***** it up.
  • XA04, on 10/11/2007, -1/+20Somebody is obviously intervening with the story. As the previous story keeps changing slightly.

    Example: As nubnub said.. "It was only Christmas but was hep *****" but now it is "It was only Christmas but cheese was hep *****"
  • wezman, on 10/11/2007, -2/+45so it is true. digg is populated by 14 year olds...
    • KMye, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13This is a sad day for me and my digg addiction...
    • Hyuuu, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1Many Youngins having Fun...
      too bad : / i know there are a lot of creative people on Digg (a couple anyways)
      could have been fairly decent..
  • VermiciousKnid, on 10/11/2007, -3/+39It's been ruined by cockheads already. first paragraph was good. 2nd nonsensical ***** gibberish
    • saysomestuff, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Didn't take long at all to turn into *****...

      "where my love nest was throbbing painfully emitting passionate cows of anal doom and gloom from beyond the grave of santa claws with a spoon SPARTAAAAAAAAAA. TheyAreCensoringOurEdits!! ADMINsuckBALLS HoldDownF5forTENminutes ihascheezburger MyNipplesExplodeWithDelight"
    • FiercestCalm, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8Has it occurred to you that it's being ruined because people are using words like 'cockheads' and '*****'?
  • DougO, on 11/04/2007, -3/+83Makes you proud to be a digg user doesnt it? A nice idea ruined. Take a bow brothers.
  • somebodies, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6they should like filter off all the swear words.
    • norjeb, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10or words that you can't find in a dictionary. i mean, it's not even readable anymore.
  • dozyatom, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1Ha! I feel plagiarised. Take a look at adjute.com - something similar I tried but with sentances instead of words.

    Problem is most people don't have the attention span to add something useful (go on, give it a go!)
    • defproc, on 11/04/2007, -0/+3I've had one of these going for over a year now, and don't think I'm going to let Digg users know where it is after reading the faith-shattering idiocy they've filled that one with.
  • orientis, on 10/11/2007, -1/+29Nice story Digg, you're a great buncha people.
    • Flashman, on 10/11/2007, -2/+13I didn't come here to be insulted. Now, do you think Heather's really dead, or will she make a comeback in the next paragraph?
    • dn11, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1your self loathing is wonderful
  • wedderburn, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4it got changed to 10 votes needed
  • paulbrown1982, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2There is something similar here: http://www.blogsequences.co.uk except you can add sentences rather than words to the story!
  • swavalier711, on 10/11/2007, -0/+22Ah, hilarious.

    No problem, the internet is large, digg will soon forget and they can make a new one in no time.
  • ripdog, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1Most of the spam has been pruned.
  • jontheman, on 10/11/2007, -2/+62I changed it to 10 votes to add the word, and removed 22 spammy words. It's very slightly less stupid now.
    • Flashman, on 10/11/2007, -0/+17Put in a check so that only dictionary words can be added? Might remove some NipplesExplodeWithDelight action... if that's what you want, I guess.
    • Anteros, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9You should ban people submitting all these stupid words/phrases
    • Castor385, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3You should add a vote if someone adds a word that's already in the list.
      • bluemansteele, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1no ... add TWO votes if a word is agreed upon when entered.
    • Hossimo, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8Make it 100 votes until the diggers get off it
    • MisterSam, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Remove any words not in the dictionary
    • aks123, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Allowing only dictionary words would make it impossible to make names, and names are always important in a story. A better alternative would be to have a profanity filter in addition to a filter ForWordsThatHaveMultipleCapitalLettersInThem
    • thall, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Looks like the digg effect is over and things are moving slowly, could probably pull back the threshold from 15 to 10 or 5 again...
    • arononono, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0YE I think this is a too cool idea to just die out, maybe this could work locally on forums and such or with registrations maybe. Filter for multiple capital letters and such could hopefully work somewhat too
  • eihwaz, on 10/11/2007, -1/+49"my love nest was throbbing painfully emitting passionate cows of anal doom and gloom from beyond the grave"
    ... yea... right... i'm sure this book is going to be a bestseller.
    • plankman, on 10/11/2007, -2/+57Still better than the Da Vinci Code.
      • swavalier711, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6as I was about to say, worse ***** has sold more. I vote for publishing!
    • mriegger, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Soon the Super Karate Monkey Death Car will park in my space
    • bluemansteele, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1it's so wrong to laugh at this.. but.. I .. can't.. stop!!!
