## Beyond Monstro City

To clear things up, this is the official name for OMC in Moshi Monsters Forums, but most Outsiders dislike the change to the name, as it used to be called Outside Monstro City (OMC). The Moshi Staff claims the name had to be changed just to make the name "more appealing to new monsters" (source: look below), but we don't really like the change in the name. So, if you ever wander into Moshi Forums and don't see "OMC" or "Outside Monstro City", that's because the name was actually changed to "Beyond Monstro City"

### **Name Rebellions**

Ever since the name was changed, many Outsiders have made many unique ways to convince the staff that the old name was better for us, most of them through the "lock-it forum" process, which is basically when someone makes a new discussion and tries to lock it for whatever reason. A thread can have until 4,000 comments for it to be locked, officially. Naturally, many Outsiders tried to make a deal with the Staff that if the thread was locked, the Staff would change the name back. Unfortunately, all the lock-it threads were deleted by the staff, so that's that.

Another Outsider, Starburst, once got a message from the Staff as follows:

*Hi!*

*We have received many complaints about the new name changes to many of the forum categories.*

*We have changed the names because it is more appealing to Monstro City's brand new players. If you are not happy with the changes, we suggest that you contact us and we will look into it.*

*Happy Monstering!*

*-The Moshi Staff*

## Bump

When Outsiders say this word, it means they are bumping up their thread to the top of the list. In OMC, if someone comments, their thread appears at the front OMC page. Outsiders bump up their thread when they want people to see it.

## Caticorn

The caticorn is a hybrid between a cat and a unicorn, and many think it was created and named by Catz, but the caticorn is used a lot by the internet and Catz simply came across it and introduced it to OMC. It's is probably the most popular mythical animals of OMC, and it is described being a cat with a unicorn horn on it's head.

Catz herself made a Caticorn Club, and she even held the nickname Cat-I-Corn for quite a while.The Club members have recently learned that there are also *Rainbow Caticorns*, which are very rare. These are created when two caticorns of opposite, or close of opposite colours of the colour wheel mate and have a babyicorn—what Catz likes to call a baby caticorn. Recently a few Outsiders wanted to have a mascot for OMC (this event marks the second time OMC was considering a mascot) but the Caticorn was rejected as some Outsiders didn't really want the Caticorn to be mascot because they didn't think it was the best animal, while others simply didn't want a mascot. The caticorn still remains to be a very majestic an amazing hybrid, even if my real friends think it should be called a "unicat" (This is Dash, for the record). Any questions about it? Ask Catz, maybe in the Outsiders Q&A?

## Chainfail

Chainmail, or "chainfail" as many Outsiders call it, is a common term for anyone who uses the internet, mostly on social media websites (For example: Facebook, Instagram, stuff like that). Chainmail is a message that is passed on and on by many different users. Most of them imply that if you don't pass the message on and on, something bad will happen to you. Don't believe them, unless you do it just for fun.

There is also a chainwin, which is the opposite of a chainfail, because instead of implying that if you don't pass the message on, you'll die or something, it says that you will be safe from any harm the message can cause you.

The only difference between chainmail/chainfail and spam is that, as I just said, each message contains a variation of something good or bad that can happen to you if you do pass the message on.

*A psycho guy named Bob was a terrible criminal. He would kidnap young teenage girls an have --- with them, and any girl that refused would be dead by the next morning. One girl refused and was killed by the man, but she was smart and figured out a way to call the cops on Bob before he killed her. But Bob escaped jail a few years later. THIS IS NO JOKE, SEND THIS TO 16 PEOPLE IN THE NEXT 30 MINUTES OR BOB WILL KIDNAP YOU IN YOUR SLEEP. AGAIN, THIS IS NO JOKE.*

Chainwin:

*Want to be happy for the rest of your life? Follow these instructions to live a happy life, for the rest of your life! 1) Touch all your toes, one by one. 2) Like this post with your nose. 3) Like my last 10 posts. IF YOU CAN DO THIS AND YOU SEND THIS TO 15 PEOPLE IN THE NEXT HOUR YOUR CRUSH WILL ASK YOU OUT! THIS ISN'T FAKE, LOVE IS IN THE AIR!*

**Note: Don't believe any of these messages, these are just examples! Hope I didn't scare ya! :D**

## Charries

"Charrie" is short for "character" in OMC. They are more commonly known as OC's, but in OMC we can't say OC's because of filter, so they're called charries. A charrie can be anything, as long as it's a living thing. Many common types of charries are animal charries and superhuman charries. Most important, you control your charries, but you can't control anyone else's charrie. Charries are most commonly used in Roleplays and Charrie Chats.

There are a few things you need to remember when making a charrie. First off, you need to give it a name, age, gender, appearance, and personality, and then you add other details once the basis for your new charrie is finished. You also want to make sure that your charrie isn't overly-perfect, or a Mary-Sue (or Gary Stu, if your charrie is a male) and actually has some flaws. Charries are supposed to resemble a regular living being, and no one is perfect!

dA
--

DA stylised by many as dA, stands for 'deviantART', a website where you can post your artwork, and look at other's artwork, plus, you can chat on it. Mostof Outsiders have/had a dA. OMC uses the term 'dA' a lot.

Recently, the deviantART staff has been on a banning spree, where lots and lots of Outsiders have been banned from dA for being underage, and many have tried mking a new dA, but by now we all know that doesn't work. Very few Outsiders remain with an active dA.

Sometimes, Outsiders use this site to avoid the Moshi Monsters filter, allowing them to chat freely.

*Not to be confused with the D. A., which stands for Dumbledore's Army in Harry Potter.***~ Dash**

*Actually, quite a few Outsiders have a dA!* **-Catz**

## Discussion

A discussion is the—and only—way to communicate on OMC and all the other categories. Anyone can make a discussion, about anything.

To make one, just click the bar at the top or bottom of any page of any category, the one that says "New Discussion", and in the title box, type in the title of your discussion. Then, in the text box below, type in whatever it is you want to type, and click the bottom button—the one that says "Post"—when you are done.

Congrats, you made a discussion. It's perfectly okay if someone doesn't comment on your discussion, it happens to all of us. Just make a new one later.

There are also special threads—"thread" is a nickname for discussion—called Stickies, which are mainly made by the Staff, and in some cases, Discussions the Staff chooses from the threads in OMC. Other than stickies, there can be up to twenty threads in the top page, the ones on the top being the ones that are the newest, or the ones with the most recent comments. If you are new to OMC, the first thread you should make is a Newbie Thread, in which you state that you are new. I'm sure we'd be happy to have you.

## Epical

'Epical' is simply another word for 'epic'. It is unknown who first used this word, but it used commonly in OMC.

For example: "*Catz's Epical Charrie Chat*"

## Filter

The filter, or what the Moshi Staff call it, The M3WL or Moshi Masters Word List, is when the Staff stop random words, as well as inappropriate words, and curse words from being posted. Usually, a message pops up that copies your original message, but highlights the words the Staff do not like.

```
*You can't post those words/that word here. Try again.*

```

Basically, the filter only let's you posts words that make sense, or are appropriate. There used to be a filter that let you post whatever you wanted, but Staff modified it so it could be more "kid-friendly".

Lots of Outsiders have started peaceful rebellions against the Filter. The Staff, however, who do not take suggestions from any child who plays this game, delete the rebellion forum.

*And the Moshi Staff torture us with every filter they have. It gets worse and worse!* ***~Starburst***

*It isn't actually a matter of the staff disliking words, it's a matter of how the filter is built. You see, lots of little kids play Moshi and go on the forums, so the filter was made to let most simple words through - because they're the words that little kids use. When you enter a certain amount of complex words, or a single complex word numerous times, the filter becomes confused and can only guess that you're attempting to sneak a bad word through, thus it blocks it. So it isn't really the staff's fault. And you can't expect them to add a patch for the handful of people on the forums that want to use complex words, because that's just unreasonable on your part. Please note, however, that this is the ONLY thing that I will side with the staff on. Everything else is their fault.' '***~Chill/Muffin (preach! - dash, even though they should let a FEW more words get in)**

## Hacker

A hacker is a person that breaks into your account and messes with your things. When you're being hacked, you cannot log into your account because the hacker on it is mistaken as you and you are mistaken as a hacker, when it's really vice versa.

The safest way to protect you from a hacker is to constantly changing your password, maybe each month and not to give your password out to anybody.

Are you worried about hackers? Never fear, OMC Incident Log is here! Find up-to-date news about trolls, hackers, and more on it! Look up any trolls you might want to know, and alert yourself from any troubles you may come across!

## Leet

Leet, or l33t, is the use of numbers or symbols in the place of letters. Leet is commonly used by n00bs, trolls, and spammers, but can be written for fun, too. Numbers are also used to replace multiple letters for convenient writing, such as m8 (mate).

Leet can also be written with text talk, by using the suffix 'xor', i.e, haxor, suxxor, by removing letters, i.e, yu, yeh, or by using purposeful misspellings, i.e, teh, pwned.

Here is a list of some basic l33t symbols and what letters they represent:

0 = o

1 = l

3 = e

4 = a

7 = t

Some common uses of leet in OMC are m8, yeh, and gr8.

## Mary-Sue

A Mary-Sue is a charrie who has no flaws and is absolutely perfect. This is also called a Gary Stu, if your charrie is a male. Here is a vague example of a Mary-Sue's form:

*Name: PRINCESS ROYAL ROSY CHEEKS DIAMOND TWIRL THE THIRD*

*Age: 16 AND THAT AGE IS FOR ROYAL PRINCESS WHO GET KISSED IN THEIR SLEEP SO NO ONE ELSE CAN HAVE IT*

*Gender: FEMALE AND NOBODY CAN BE FEMALE APART FROM HER*

*Looks: PERFECTLY CURLY BLONDE HAIR WITH RED LIPS AN ROSY CHEEKS AND BLUE EYES*

*Personality: BEAUTIFUL AND MORE TALENTED THAN ANYONE ELSE AND MORE POWERFUL THAN THE MOST POWERFUL GUY IN THE WORLD*

*Powers: EVERY POWER EVERYONE ELSE HAS AND SO MUCH MORE*

Talents*: EVERYTHING*

*Weaknesses: NOTHING*

*Family: HER MUMS A HUGE CELEBRITY AND THE QUEEN OF THE WORLD AND HER DAD'S THE KING AND THE LEAD SINGER OF EVERY ROCK BAND IN THE WORLD AND HER SISTER IS A PRINCESS AND TOGETHER THEY ARE THE MOST FAMOUS PEOPLE IN THE WORLD BUT SHE IS MORE FAMOUS BUT HER SISTER IS SECOND*

*Boyfriend: A SUPER HOT PRINCE NAMED PRINCE AMAZING HANDSOME CHARMING WITH BEAUTIFUL BLOND HAIR AND SPARKLING BLUE EYES WANTS TO GIVE ROSY THE WHOLE WORLD AND DOES BECAUSE THEY ARE MAGICAL TOGETHER HE IS PERFECT LIKE HER BUT NOT AS PERFECT AS HER ALL THE GIRLS ARE JEALOUS OF ROSY BECAUSE SHE DATES HIM AND THEY DON'T moshi-tonguemoshi-grinmoshi-grinmoshi-grin*

*Other: SHE AND HER SIS WERE ADOPTED AND WERE TREATED LIKE QUEENS AT THEIR OLD FAMILY AND STILL ARE moshi-grin*

Charries that are Mary-Sues, unless they are joke charries and not used in proper role-plays, are not allowed and not accepted in OMC.

Please note the 'looks' section of the form does not mean to tease any blonde-hair blue-eyes people in real life, nor does it mean to imply that all charries that have blonde hair and blue eyes are Mary-Sues.

This example also does not mean to imply that all Mary-Sues are named Rose or anything related to Rose, or that anyone named Rose is a brat.

It does not count when the charrie looks *fabulous,*but works for it and has a horrid personality.

## Match-make

This is when two or more people decide to make their desired charries a couple. Usually, the two people make their charries "meet" and getting to know each other and, under their owners control, eventually there will be a new couple.

Usually, match-making leads to charrie shipping, (you can read about that in the OMC Shippings page) for example, Hertex. (Dash's Charrie, Vortex shipped with Chatter's Charrie, Hero)

## Mods

Mods, or moderation, is when the Staff stop you from posting for a while, because they think you've done something wrong.

The staff say that they will approve your message, even though they don't.

The exact message they give you is:

```
*Thanks! Your message will be approved as soon as possible.*

```

And this message is always accompanied with a picture of a katsuma looking all cool and smug because Staff is cheesy like that.

Mods usually lasts for about two weeks, but some known mods victims have been there for months.

This is why it's good to have many accounts. When you make a new account, though (after you verify it), your account will stay on mods for a while.

## Moshi Icons

Moshi Icons are the little green and red faces above the comment box on forums. They can be used to express one's emotions or to troll, but sadly, OMC does not enjoy Moshi Icons around. OMC isn't bothered by them unless people overuse them or misuse them, as they give some people headaches for being so bright, but mostly because some others find them annoying or cheesy, or simply prefer regular emotes.

*People don't understand I hate icons and continue to annoy me. **~ Starburst***

These icons in the picture to the right, in order from left to right, are moshi-smile, moshi-grin, moshi-sad, moshi-plain, moshi-tongue, moshi-worried, and moshi-angry. http://the-omc-wikia.com/wiki/File:Icon.jpg

Moshi Icons are mainly used by newbies to forums, but sometimes as a joke by regular Outsiders. Some newbies stop using icons once they get used to using forums, but some overuse them just to be annoying. These people are classified as trolls or n00bs.
