Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.
I will introduce more rules later and when I finish doing that I will make an announcement post about that.
For overall temporary guide check out the rules here: https://www.reddit.com/r/hmmm/wiki/rules/
I won't be moving all of them here but I will keep most of them.

Yeah, but there hasn't been an imfamous 'Blitzen party' yet.
If you're unfamiliar with the history of the Donner Party it's a fascinating, if gruesome, read. Of the 83 members of the Donner Party who were trapped in the mountains, 45 survived to reach California. Some became quite successful there.
There were 90 wagons in the train and they were trying a newly conceived route to California that obviously didn't pan out well.
Imagine taking a wrong turn in the wilderness and finding that you've led 90 wagons into hard terrain and deep woods. They were at times literally having to cut trees down to clear a path through dense woods for miles and miles. Horrible, slow going, and hard work.
The sign right after this one
Nice place for a picnic, I took a whole party up there once it was delicious.
To shreds you say?
Oooh maybe that have kebabs
I chortled.
We need to see "chortled" more often
A great place to have some friends over for dinner.
Sounds like a good place to take a party and make a party B)
There’s a lens flare making it hard to see what this is a photo of.
