I manually typed the offset links to go through them sequentially!

Oh god you guys are insane, this is such a fun concept and also quite the bold move to only have one big page…

Honnestly one of the funniest gimmick i've seen here recently!

obvious +1 for me

This is a really unique experience with a page. I'm really loving how much you're experimenting with what can be done with pages. Genuinely some of the most memorable pages on site. Also this is very in character and a nice addition to a POI who was very forgotten (😁)

This made sense in my head

Many thanks to my team (Greggita Mahayfaio, Justazappyrat and InspectingCritters) for this fun opportunity. Team contests are not my forte, but I am glad we made something out of a character for which we quite literally had *nothing*.

All pages are true, yet also false. J. Doe is many things and nothing. They say "hi"! You already forgot that. They love you, but it doesn't matter. The coffee in Level 4 tastes like shit, whose fault is that? I don't know.

kinda weird

I love your works an this was amazing and very creative and unique. This is the best use of Basic liminal theme i have ever seen.

My mom!?

I just love how you four used the non-canon policy to make US, the reader, FEEL what John Doe is all about; the lack of information. Characterizacion is about expanding POI, but how do you expand a POI whose whole point is to be incredibly generic and paradoxical?

Well, you found the answer! And the way you set this co-written page adds so much to create a coherent story to four entries that mostly conflict with each other. We feel like a in-universe wanderer who tries to understand a character that is ever-shifting, impossible to understand or to remember. Except I will definitely keep such an interesting entry in mind /lhan

Of course, such a gimmick wouldn't save the individual articles if they weren't good. Yet they're great!

I critted Boring's entry, and I just love the dull narration at the start, giving so much interest to a character with such a boring and uninteresting life. Even when he noclips in the Backrooms, the whole "wanderer discovers the place" feels original, not only because it doesn't happen in Level 0, but also because as a result, you managed to efficiently go through the usual feelings, and then mix his discovery of the Backrooms with his characterization and how he interacts with the world. The ending is so deliciously sad that it reminds me a lot of the Stanley Parable epilogue: a world where you are alone, with glimpses of what you had seen in the past, condemned to live forever.

alba's entry is also a wonder of nonsensical writing. By breaking the fourth wall, it gives substance to a character who talks directly to the author, showing your feelings as you wrote the page for us readers to feel them in return. This, mixed with the comedic aspect of the stage, the dialogue, and the structure, makes it a great narration with a clear absurd purpose that I heavily enjoyed.

While shorter, the other two entries are equally as interesting, although I only discovered them with the release of the page unlike the other two.

Pika's entry is a short yet fun read with an in-universe comedic aspect that I really enjoyed. Showing how people felt about Doe was quite interesting, and the setting of the coffee machine leading to the twist at the end did get a good laugh out of me.

Foxfire's entry is the one I understood the least, but seeing its themes, it's definitely understandable. The abstract concept of the self is something explored a little in other entries, but the way it is expanded here is equally as interesting, using glimpes of memories and POVs to convey the subject.

Overall, the individual articles all manage to exploit Doe interestingly, expanding on a character that was meant to be nothing. The co-written roll format ties everything together, showing all of you understood what the character was about and how it could be expanded from nothing, for nothing, yet tell so much to us readers.

Fantastic job!

I called out each and every story and I clocked you all perfectly
Pika's was silly, absurd and used sentences I've directly read from them in the past. We're also good friends so I'd be embarrassed if I got this wrong
Boring's was, first and foremost, long. But also very very British, so easy guess
Alba's was bad
Fox's by process of elimination

+1 for each of you. Deserved win
