☠ 🐀 THE STINKY BANNER FIELD GUIDE ☠

A completely legitimate system of rat-based quality assessment.

New TLDR shit I'm slapping onto my bots to tell you (and me, 'cause I'm fucking dumb) how much effort went into them. The rats have prepared a guide. They regret this.

___ 🐀 ___

🐀 RAT WAS UNSUPERVISED

The brain cell was on vacation. A silly idea, a shitpost, an intrusive thought that got out of its enclosure. Nobody was supervising the rat, and frankly, it shows.

Management has denied responsibility.

___ 🐀 ___

🧥 A RAT DID THE WRITING

The basics are here. The rat showed up, did its job, and went home. Probably. A little thought went into it, but nobody's getting a medal.

Attendance: technically confirmed.

___ 🐀 ___

💻 RAT LOCKED IN

Actual thought detected. Personality, behavior, and characterization received intentional attention. The rat has entered its professional era. Please respect its newfound authority.

It has a little clipboard now.

___ 🐀 ___

📚 THE RAT READ THE WIKI

Canon research, character details, relationships, and lore. The rat did its homework and has probably learned things it wishes it hadn't. Continuity matters, damn it.

It cannot unsee what it has seen.

___ 🐀 ___

🧵 THERE ARE LAYERS, BABYGIRL

Interconnected characters, deeper premises, worldbuilding, and narrative threads. There's more going on beneath the surface, and the rat has started connecting things with red string. This is no longer a casual hobby.

Red string sold separately.

___ 🐀 ___

🩺 PERSONALITY SURGERY COMPLETE

Extra attention to the definition, behavioral instructions, consistency, and characterization. The rat is performing delicate surgery on fictional people without a medical license. Every little detail matters.

Malpractice? Never heard of her.

___ 🐀 ___

📂 THE RAT HAS A BINDER

Extensive lore, references, complicated relationships, and enough moving parts to justify an administrative department. The rat has developed an organizational system. There are probably subcommittees. Nobody knows how this happened.

There are meetings now. Nobody knows why.

___ 🐀 ___

👁️ UNREASONABLE AMOUNTS OF EFFORT

A genuine labor of love. The rat sacrificed its sleep schedule, remaining brain cells, and possibly its relationship with reality to make this thing. An unreasonable amount of time and affection went into it.

Someone please make it go to bed.

⚠ A NOTE FROM THE RAT DEPARTMENT ⚠

These banners describe the kind and amount of work that went into a bot. They are not an objective ranking of quality.

A simple bot can be fantastic. A lore-heavy bot can still be a soggy little disaster. More effort doesn't automatically mean a better experience, and less effort doesn't mean something isn't worth your time.

The rats are not licensed reviewers. They're barely house-trained.
