Tips & Strategies

The terrible demise of tortuga.
Prologue 1.
Jack lay in his bunk bed tossing and turning trying to sleep but he couldn’t. Finally he rolled to the edge of the bed and stuck his head down to his twin brother Jay who lay “sleeping”in the bottom bunk bed. “Jay? You awake?” Jack whispered. Jay lay still for a second then turned to face Jack. “How could I sleep with you tossing up there.” Jay said. Jack smirked at him. “Fine, whenever we move into our new house you can have the top bunk as long as you let me come up there sometimes.” Jack said. They crept out of their beds and snuck past their sleeping mother, older sister, and younger brother and sister. They climbed up the ladder to the deck of the boat. There steering the ship was their father Aragorn. Aragorn had shoulder length jet black hair and dark chocolatey brown eyes. His skin was tanned from standing in the sun. He wore black clothes regardless of the heat of the sun. As soon as they came up from the trapdoor he spotted them. “Hi dad.” They said in unison. “Hello boys.” Aragorn said. “Is that the island were going to?” Jay asked pointing to a Island a few miles away. Aragorn nodded. “Yep, that is.”
On the dock of the island was a woman with a black uniform, a gun over her shoulder, and a dagger hanging from her belt. She had long blonde hair that was hanging in a braid down her back and stern green eyes. She held in her hand a walkie-talkie which she was talking into. She was one of the few guards of the city or “peacemakers” as they where called. A short distance away was a man with a black uniform, and a hood that was over his head. On his belt hung a large axe and a long sniper gun strapped to his back. He had black hair and cold,calculating brown eyes. He was the executioner of the town. “I see their ship.” The woman said. “Good, I’ll radio to the mayor.” The executioner said, fingering his axe. He walked over to the telephone and dialed the mayor’s number. (Hey it’s the old days, they used telephones.)“Hello.” The voice on the other side said. “It’s me one of the future mayors.” Said the voice. It was one of the mayors sons. “I’m trying to talk to the CURRENT mayors NOT the FUTURE mayors. The executioner said. “Oh.” Said the mayors son. “DAD! MOM! THE EXECUTIONER IS CALLING!” He shouted at the top of his lungs. The executioner clapped his hands on his ears. A few seconds passed then the mayors answered. The mayors were called Mayor Roi(king in French ) and Mayor Reine(queen in French ). They had three triplet sons and three triplet daughters. “Hello?” Said Mayor Roi. “The new family is almost here.” Said the executioner. “Good, we’ll be there to…welcome them.” Said Mayor Reine.
That was the intro for the story. Hope y’all enjoyed. The story will also be in the all filter in abc order starting here in achatina. Also this story is a collab between me and my friend MrGhost Gamer. ✌️

More Silver Coloring Tips
Sometimes I look back at all the arguments we had back in the day here and I just cringe
Like a trip down memory lane! Very.. uh, dark dingy and problematic now the ‘haze’ of idol writers has passed over!
-PD
I pray you take the next three minutes to read what I have to say about this place.
Never meet your heroes.
"Heroes", in this case, being OGs.
What am I talking about? Well what if I told you some of these original writers were talking behind all of your backs about how you are all just little 10 year olds? How outrageous.
Not all of them are bad, obviously. But most are.
Don't believe me? Join the discord server and search up "Dododex" in the filter. Or, use this link to a google doc that will detail all the messages they've sent about you. They even planned on raiding this place again with FDFC invites.

I hope this inspires you to stop worshipping these frauds. They don't care about growing a strong community any more, they only care about themselves. Even back then, in 2020, when it all began they only cared about themselves. If you weren't a good writer then you'd be ignored and shunned. They don't care about you, they never will.
But as shameless as it is, Achatina story section writers certainly do. I promised not to advertise, but I must for the betterment of modern day fanfictioners. I promise you that it will be better than this rotting dump.

Oh, and if you don't like what I have to say? Don't bother trying to dislike this. You WILL see this tip at the top of this section in all filters, Top Rated, Popular, and Newest, whether you want to believe me or not. Those OGs are just fradulent scumbags who only care about themselves. So, stand proud, and create your own legacy on the Dododex instead of praising those who have already moved on.
Pave your own path.

What’s up guys. Had to put my dog down this Sunday. He was only 4. I would appreciate your prayers. On the bright side, we just got a new puppy and he is doing well. Thanks.

How to view story section tips/messages in real time:
1. Go to a browser (Safari, Chrome, Firefox anything works)
2. Search up Dododex Stories and click on the link.
3. Filter messages by Newest
4. Refresh
5. Ta da! You can now view messages in real time.
PS: This only works for story sections on creatures, and not dyes as dyes do not have a story section.
How to catch impersonators:
If you spot a suspicious or concerning message, then follow the following steps.
1. Go to Dododex Stories
2. Find the tip/message that is suspicious.
3. Click on the day the story was posted, or how long ago it was posted (eg: 3 days ago OR Mar 19, 2023)
4. Scroll to the bottom where it says "More stories by author". If those stories/messages dont match the stories the real person posted.. its an impersonator!
PS: This only works in story sections of a creature, as dyes do not have story sections.
Hope this helped!
I also hope this encourages you to migrate to a story section. I understand Silver Dye has been a staple within the community but there are lots of security concerns with it. (especially with the PD situation and trolls in the past). Consider moving to an untouched story section like Dreadnoughtus or the mods creatures where youre less likely to get bothered.
1 🆙 1 rip for Tina
-Shadowmane
PS have a good life in the after life
Hello again. It is not a joke that Tina died, for those who were asking. I am here again to tell you what she wrote for you guys. It was in the very back:
“I feel really strange writing this. I wanna live a good , long life, but here’s what I want someone else to do when I die:
1, tell all my friends on dododex that they really help me and that they are amazing at so many things. They even helped me to start writing a story when no one else would! I really love the community there. So tell them to never stop writing!
2, put my favorite desert on my grave, peach cobbler. Maybe God will put peach cobbler from my family in heaven!
3, thank everyone again on dododex and all my friends at school, the neighborhood, and all my other friends who really helped me through my life (I know I will make a lot more!)
4, I don’t really know what to say here, but I will leave five blank just in case!
5, “
And that is what she wrote. Thanks to all of you here for helping Tina be the person she always wanted to be:
A junior author. She wrote a real story in her journal because of you guys. Thank you.
~Sincerely, Peter.
