Alright, peeps! Some brave forumers took a stab at my first trial game, which I think started pretty well for a first attempt, overall! However, because I refrained from using as many rules as possible, the thread started spiraling chaotically out of control (which was ok! You can see the compilation of the last story here if you wish to skip straight to the end.
BEFORE ANYONE MAKES ANY COMMENTS OF ANY KIND, please review the revised rules below:
1 ) The game operates just as the title implies; we start off with a sentence, and a different person creates the next sentence, as long as it isn’t it’s own random standalone sentence, and provide context for any weird new information or dialogue. To clarify, if a randomly introduced character suddenly speaks or something random suddenly happens, please provide context as to how/what/where as applicable, even if it is just silly.
2a ) The sentence may be as long or as short as you wish, but it must be at least somewhat readable, and you have to wait to create another until at least one other person has completed another sentence succeeding your own.
2b ) Make sure it is actually one sentence. We had some cool thoughts last time from some creative individuals, but it defeats the purpose of the game. But who knows, I might make a game twist to accommodate that in the future?
3 ) IMPORTANT:
For the story sentences, please use the quote feature. Hit the “ symbol located above your typing box.
Any other text is treated as normal conversation outside of that box.
I will politely request that anyone edit their posts if they forget.
4ish? ) As a final loose rule, I’d prefer this thread remain more appropriate, but I can’t control the forums! If the story starts to get wildly inappropriate, however, I’ll interject. I reserve the right censor the final product if I someone’s purposefully trying to be an twerp when compiling the story in the end.
Round modifier: On account of what happened last game, I’m going to establish now that I want at least our main protagonist to remain alive for this round. And please, be sparing with deaths of new or important characters in general, for that matter. We had kill count of at least 8 characters last game, most of them barely introduced, and all very short lived. This is the only other thing I may request an edit on as applicable, as it hampered the flow and frustrated some of the story weavers last time. I may adapt this modifier with feedback.
Ok, now that you have better! read the rules, the story is your oyster, though you may find it forcibly shared…
