The posting of threads is a difficult matter,
It isn't just one of your holiday games;
You may think at first I'm as mad as a hatter
When I tell you, a thread must have THREE DIFFERENT TRAITS.

First of all, every thread must be properly quirky,
And suiting the feel of the PPC Board.
Not for us hate-fuelled ranting, or murderous planning--
Close them down, shut them off, see the quirky restored.
Yet remember as well that the Board is quite smart,
And think of how 'quirky' is different from 'crazy'.
We can always do serious, when leavened with humour,
But just yelling 'InSaNe!!!'? I'm afraid that's plain lazy.

Next, let me tell you a thread needs engagement,
It needs to encourage more Boarders to post.
And not just to say they agree (or the opposite):
A thread that's just 'yes, no, perhaps' will be toast.
No - whether you're seeking to start a discussion,
A story, a game, or a dozen more choices,
You need to craft something your friends will reply to,
And then to each other, each sharing their voices.

But above and beyond this there's one more thing needed,
A trait that will grant to you all that you dream.
To get those replies, to open a topic,
To make the Board better -- a thread NEEDS A THEME.

When you notice a thread, whether silly or serious,
That pulls in the comments, that makes the smiles beam,
There's always one thing that has made it successful:
It's the theme, yes the theme, it's the well-chosen theme.
The explicit implicit
All-gonna-stick-withit
Intriguing and geeky singular THEME.

You could respond to the concerns that Neshomeh has brought up to you multiple times in various threads further down the Board? Because I'd rather like to know why you're posting stuff like this and avoiding addressing the issue.

Hello, Internet, welcome to Play Hypothesis! Today we're going to be discussing a fan favorite, the UNDERTALE series! But this isn't any ordinary theory about the games, oh no. Instead of drawing the connections between W.D. Gaster and the strange world of DELTARUNE and digging into the game's code to forge some kind of connection, we're going to be talking about the creator of these games, Toby Fox!

Now, let me summarize this guy's history, because I feel there's something fishy here. The story of Toby Fox is that he started off with an EarthBound ROM hack called the "Halloween Hack." From there, he went on to compose music for popular webcomic Homestuck. At some point in his life, he had a dream. A dream about an ending to a game. He woke up and realized, "I have to make that game." So he started work on an RPG that... never got finished. Eventually, he created an RPG based on a different idea. This RPG was UNDERTALE. Now, UNDERTALE isn't the game with the ending that Toby had a vision of. That game will be DELTARUNE, once the full release comes out.

Toby Fox claims that his games are heavily inspired by the MOTHER series, which is a series of three games, MOTHER, MOTHER 2, and MOTHER 3, created by Shigesato Itoi. These games each folllow a child with psychic powers defeating bad guys with he power of psychedelic backgrounds in order to stop the forces of evil. Ever heard of it? No? Well, that's perfectly normal! The series is mostly unheard of outside of Japan, except for the U.S. localization of MOTHER 2 as EarthBound. Sound familiar? It should; Toby Fox got his start with the EarthBound Halloween Hack! And it's easy to see the inspiration that UNDERTALE and DELTARUNE have in MOTHER 3, from the quirky tone, to elements of the battle system, to the very font that the games share, even the way your level, or LOVE in UNDERTALE and DELTARUNE, is written on the save file images for each game is the same! ...wait a minute. There's something fishy going on here. These two games are much too similar to ever have come from two different creators. "But NatKat!" I hear you ask. "Maybe Itoi and Toby are just similar people!" And to that I say, "If there's a rabbit hole, go down it!" In this 17-part series, I'll be proving to you that Toby Fox and Shigesato Itoi are the same person!

Now, we've just about run out of time for this video. Be sure to like the video if you liked it, leave a comment telling me which theory you want me to do next, and don't forget to subscribe and ring the bell so you don't miss the next 16 parts of this exciting new series! But in the meantime, that's just a hypothesis! A Play Hypothesis! Thanks for watching!
