Contractions aren't required, you didn't need them for that text anyway, so you don't need that literal

A New Way to Learn

Text Based Games (TBGs) are the next big development in online learning. How do TBGs work? A number of players must read the rules of the particular game being played, and then join in by adding a post to the game.

How are TBGs educational? Text Based Games can increase numeracy, literacy and science skills, as most games require players to count up or down in different ways, or add large numbers together to manually calculate their score.

A subgenre of TBGs are Role Playing Games also known as RPGs. These games require a player to immerse themself in an imaginary world of players and explore their environment. Many RPGs also require a player to craft their own story, and follow the rules of the world. Unlike traditional graphic based RPGs, however, Text Based RPGS are played by adding posts to the game topic. This dramatically improves the players ability to write narrative.

Are you worried about child safety on the TBGs? You will by glad to know that we have a dedicated team of moderators working 24/7, roaming the forums and deleting all spam, inappropriate posts, and also helping new players to learn the ropes. We are also protected by cutting edge technologies which make in nearly impossible for spammers to break in, or for players to break rules.

:( :lol: -> and
:( :/ -> for
:( D:< -> of
:( ;) -> the
:( :P -> with
:( :roll: -> ing
:( B) -> ble
:o :) to :o :D - ch, gh, sh, th, wh
:o :lol: -> ed
:o :/ -> er
:o D:< -> ou
:o ;) -> ow
:o :P -> w
:D :D -> en

Punctuation:
:D :) -> ,
:D :| -> ;
:D :( -> :
:D :o -> .
:D :lol: -> !
:D :/ -> ( )
:D D:< -> ?
:D ;) -> '
:D :P -> "

Formatting:
:lol: :) -> Start literal (no contractions apply inside literal)
:lol: :| -> One-word literal
:lol: :( -> End literal
:lol: :o -> Capital (2 capitals in a row is caps lock)

Numbers:
:/ :) to :/ B) -> Base 12 digits (not bijective base 12, normal base 12)

Other Smiley Codes:
:P :) - ESC
:P :/ - BBSC (this)

Contractions:
Multichar letters will be uppercase
a - a
b - but
c - can
d - do
e - every
f - from
g - go/goes/went/gone
h - have/has/had
i - I
j - just
k - know
l - like
m - more
n - no/not
o - or
p - person/people
q - quite
r - rather
s - so
t - that
u - under
v - very
x - it
y - you
z - as
THE - then
CH - child
SH - shall
TH - this
WH - which
OU - out
w - will
ST - still

Note: These are not letters. You can't put them in the middle of words. They must stand alone.

Other:
B) :) -> Space
B) :| -> ASCII char (see How to make other chars)

How to make other chars:
The main way to make other chars is using B) :|. Here's an example. Let's say I want to use _. First, you have to get the octal escape of your chosen character. So for _, the octal escape is 137. Then, you follow it with 3 other smileys depending on its escape (:) to D:< indicate 0 to 7). For 137, the three smileys are :| :o D:<. After that, just precede it with B) :|. The full code for _ is B) :| :| :o D:<.

You can also convert to ESC, which can compress really well, but requires the guidance of a computer to take full advantage of its compression.
This was a thing I tried to do, but insert mess of a sentence here. Also, I'm a vowelless neither transparent nor translucent mammal of the genus Neogale, I guess. :/ B)
The future experience must be anticipated beforehand to ensure proper expectations.
Tip: Use c͢ombining cha͊racters, because ye᷂s.

A word search, word find, word seek, word sleuth or mystery word puzzle is a word game that consists of the letters of words placed in a grid, which usually has a rectangular or square shape. The objective of this puzzle is to find and mark all the words hidden inside the box. The words may be placed horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. Often a list of the hidden words is provided, but more challenging puzzles may not provide a list. Many word search puzzles have a theme to which all the hidden words are related such as food, animals, or colors. The puzzles have, like crosswords and arrowords, become very popular. Also in common with these latter puzzles, have had complete books and mobile applications devoted to them.

Word searches are commonplace in newspapers and magazines.

Quote from: PkmnQGilbert do you have empty spots in ESC? I want to make it possible to embed ESC in BBSC (which I'll also call :/ code)
Sorry for the late reply... :P
There is still 3 leading smileys left ( D:< ;) :P ). Not enough to put it "directly", but I have a plan.
I could make ESC support multiple smiley formats. This way, backwards compatibility with other character sets can be achieved. For example, I can choose the leading smiley :P as the character set marker. and it can be used like this:
:P :/ :lol: :o :o :o :) ;) :) ;) :) :) :| :P :) :D :| :roll: :D :o
The :P :/ is the charset marker, indicating that the next smileys would be encoded in the :/ charset, in this case BBSC.

In BBSC (or at least right now), the leading smiley :P doesn't do anything.

I'll also let BBSC encode ESC through :P :). I like ESC for its compression, but I want BBSC to be human-usable.

Also gilbert you're not out of the Monopoly game yet.
You still have to pay PkmnQ the $2 due.
And by doing so you can trade or mortgage, which definitely will give you more cash.
