Title: Stuck in an Elevator - Super-Giga-Mega CYOA Edition
Post by: Yukabacera on April 21, 2010, 19:45:57
Because LPChip locked the last thread, and said we need more rules, I decided to make this thing a CYOA because those things have ridiculous numbers of rules. Anyway, same backstory applies. The rulez0rz are:

Don't cyber.
Don't talk about /b/.
DO NOT talk about /b/.
Keep it clean.
Don't spam.
Don't insult people.
Don't post offensive images/videos/any other form of digital media.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR VERY OWN CHARACTER:

THIS is a blank character form:
Name:
Age (opt.):
Class (opt.):
Backstory (please don't write novellas) (opt.):

(opt.) stands for optional, which means you can just give me a name and start playing.
You can make up your own class if you want. The currently available ones are:
OFFICEWORKER
UNDERLING
EXECUTIVE
PUBLIC RELATIONS PERSON
SOCIALLY INEPT WOW PLAYER

Anyway, THIS is how you really play it:
I will post some choices, such as:

(1) Put on your robe and wizard hat.
(2) Board the Sprunkeldunkel1 train.

Then, people will say things such as:

"I want to put on my robe and wizard hat."
"yo homie I wanna board that friggin train"

After some time2, I decide what you're all forced to do, tell you what happens, and post moar  choices. And that's it I guess. Enjoy?

Okay so, the current choices are:

(1) Search the elevator cabin.
(2) Check what floor you're on.
(3) Bang on the door and scream for help.
(4) Listen to the elevator music.
(5) Put on your robe and wizard hat.

1 - Sprunkeldunkel is a very important word. You must know what it means to play this game.
2 - "Some time" can be anywhere between 5 minutes and 5 millennia (not really).

Post by: Vegetal Gibber on April 21, 2010, 22:41:20
Name: Vegetal
Age: 27
Class: Officeworker (overstressed coder)
Backstory: Hours and hours of unpaid overtime and poor management decisions have turned Vegetal into a paranoid and an overall crazy person. He's also known for going on epic rampages of destruction when managers and executives demand a last hour modification in a software project he's been working on for months.

I'll pick up where I left in the previous thread, so... I put on my robe and wizard hat (5) :nuts:  I also take out a sheet of printed out Perl source code and start reciting it as if I were casting a spell.
Title: Re: Stuck in an Elevator - Super-Giga-Mega CYOA Edition
Post by: Yukabacera on April 22, 2010, 12:33:11
That guy from 5th floor and Matt both check the fancy-shmancy-renaissance-art-deco-modern-art counter above the elevator doors, and find out that they're stuck at floor 459 of the magnificent Northbridge Tower, with a mere 41 floors separating them from the top. Which means that using the shaft to escape would be a very bad idea.

Vegetal puts on his robe and wizard hat, and reads the sheet with PERL on it aloud:

print "Hello, world!\n";
print qq=Did you say "Hello?"n=;
print 'Greetings, small planet!'\n';
print q/What's cooking?\n/;
$fred = "Fred here";
$barney = 56;
$sum = 10 + $barney;
print 'The variable $fred' . " contains $fred.\n";
print "Sum is $sum.\n";
@fred = ("How", "are", "you", "today?");
print "\@fred contains (@fred).\n";
$mike = $fred[1];
print "$mike $fred[3]\n";
$fredsize = @fred;
print '@fred has ', "$fredsize elements.\n";
print "Max sub is $#fred\n";

and so on, and so on.

Anyway, now the choices are:

(1) Try to hear something outside the elevator door.
(2) Despite the warning that doing so would be a bad idea, open the hatch in the ceiling and go out in the shaft.
(3) Search your pockets.
(4) Try to get the elevator moving again by fiddling with the console.
(5) Try to turn off the music.

After reciting the ancient Perl spell of "Meditation", Vegetal gets a +5 boost on intelligence (well, at least that's what he thinks). Feeling invigorated, he decides to try fiddling with the console (4) to see if he can hack the elevator and/or find the pong game easter egg.

@SingingSurger: Since my games bend the laws of physics, you can start playing now as we're not that far into the game anyway. But don't tell anyone!

Anyway.

Vegetal starts fiddling with the console, which returns a SYSTEM ERROR 523: NO RESPONSE for every command, except the manual control command which returns a INSUFFICIENT CLEARANCE LEVEL and the computer control command which asks for a password.

The guy from 5th floor checks his pockets and finds 5 dollars, 10 work creds and a paperclip.

Choices:

(1) Try to guess the password for the console.
(2) Go out in the shaft.
(3) Kick the doors.
(4) Sing.
(5) Search your pockets.

(4) Matt'd like to sing the Sprunkeldunkel song he just made up on the spot. Can he plz do that?
Title: Re: Stuck in an Elevator - Super-Giga-Mega CYOA Edition
Post by: Vegetal Gibber on April 23, 2010, 13:36:18
Don't worry about me, I'll just pretend I didn't see a new person suddenly teleporting into the elevator :)

Anyway, on to the game:

Although Vegetal's tempted to start singing "New York, New York" while asking for generous donations, he decides to try and guess the password (1). He takes out a roll of continuous paper with a huge list of words printed on it, opens a bag of Cheetos and starts inputting the words entering the ASCII code for each letter. Most of the list consists of the word "Sprunkeldunkel" repeated over and over, but there are also strange words in between like "toros", "paella", "gazpacho y olé".

Post by: Firecat on April 23, 2010, 19:05:11
(2)Considering that the guy from the 5th floor would rather die before listening to matt singing. He decides to go out.
Title: Re: Stuck in an Elevator - Super-Giga-Mega CYOA Edition
Post by: Yukabacera on April 23, 2010, 19:13:16
Matt sings the Ode to Sprunkeldunkel:

"Oh, Lebensraum Sprunkeldunkel;
Krankenhaus Donau Helga;
Bratwurst Bundestag;
Lederhosen Sauerkraut Sprunkeldunkel;
Volkswagen Knoblauch Scheisse;
Teufel Sprunkeldunkel!"

Vegetal keeps trying passwords, and finally finds one that works! The console begins contacting various AIs, most of which are busy doing more important things like data entry.

The guy from 5th floor goes out into the shaft, and ZED, the AI responsible for most background processes, talks to him through a speaker: "Sir, we are aware that you are trapped inside the elevator. Please return inside and do not go into the shaft unless instructed to do so. The rescue teams are currently busy, but we're sure they'll come sooner or later."

(1) Check your pockets.
(2) Climb out into the shaft.
(Note: These choices will stay available indefinitely. I guess the pockets one will go away when everyone checks theirs (no need to hurry, guys!) but the shaft one will stick with us for quite some time.)
(3) Turn on the little newsfeed monitor on the wall.
(4) Press buttons on the console randomly.
(5) Try to discover the meaning of life.

Finally, insanity gets the best of Vegetal :nuts: Spending two turns thinking semi-logically was too much for him and he cannot contain his desire of doing stupid random things anymore. He goes batshit loco and starts pressing buttons on the console randomly (4). While doing so, he makes the weirdest possible faces that a man can only imagine.

Post by: Yukabacera on April 25, 2010, 11:12:20
Pumpkin turns on the newsfeed, and watches a very interesting report about some kind of poisonous cookies. Just when the announcer starts talking about MechaTec's faulty elevators and the people stuck in them, the news program is replaced with a pattern of static.

Vegetal starts pressing the buttons randomly, and stops the AI contact program. The elevator music is quickly replaced by ODMSys' monotonous voice: "Hi. I see you're stuck here. Well, I could help you, but I'm busy right now. I'm sure ZED will do something to get this thing moving again. If not, well, call me again." The music comes back on.

The guy from 5th floor starts contemplating the meaning of life with ZED. However, she insists that the meaning of life is "classified data only available to the Council and persons chosen by the Council" and that she "cannot disclose that kind of information at this time".

(1) Search your pockets.
(2) Go out into the shaft.
(3) Contact ODMSys again.
(4) Try to repair the newsfeed.
(5) Try to open the door manually.

Disappointed with the lack of explosions and a secret PONG minigame, Vegetal sighs and puts his hands into his pockets. He searchs there for the pills the doctor prescribed to him, which supress his impulse of headbutting strangers while saying "Good morning and a broken nose to you!". He remembers the sweet strawberry flavor of those pills and starts drooling (the truth is, those pills are actually PEZ candy that the doctor gave to him so Vegetal would stop pestering him).

Unfortunately, the tube of delicious pills doesn't seem to be there, so he decides to search his pockets thoroughly (1) and see what else's in there.

Well, I guess we'll continue playing this. There's no point in just stopping now; I agree it's too bad SF's game got locked (I was looking forward to playing it), but as they say, the show must go on.  :P2

Oh and, I'm not posting what happened until some other people do stuff.

Well... personally, I love the idea of combining both games into an epic, action-packed and completely crazy multiplayer adventure :D  It would be like more like an RPG than a CYOA.

Maybe we could do this game as "Episode 1" and then continue with "Episode 2", introducing the new teamwork rules and so. I think that could work. But that's just my opinion.
Title: Re: Stuck in an Elevator - Super-Giga-Mega CYOA Edition
Post by: StraightFlame on April 28, 2010, 18:31:22
Another idea: How about we use the Hint Coin system (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professor_Layton) from the Prof. Layton (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professor_Layton) games. Every player starts out with 5 Hint Coins, and every challenge has 3 hints. And by performing specific actions people can get more hint coins. Of course, there is only a finite number of Coins, and not enough for all challenges to be out-hinted. The difference between Prof. L's Coin system and this game's Coin system, is that here, the coins are very rare, and once someone asks for a hint everyone else will get the hint for free.

P.S. Sorry, LPChip, but it doesn't seem like we can bend ontopic again until Yukabacera does.

Sorry I didn't update in so long, I was busy...doing...stuff.

Vegetal searches his pockets, and finds a 5 Zorkmid coin. How it got there is a mystery.

Pumpkin goes out into the shaft, and discovers that there is something wrong with the elevator! ZED gets pissed off again because people are flooding the shaft.

Matt searches his pockets, and finds an Elevator Gizmo Thingmajig. Unfortunately, you have to install it from outside the elevator.

It's a feature.

The guy from 5th floor repairs the newsfeed, and watches a report about Martians landing on a mountain in China. Just when the announcer starts talking about their plans, the news are replaced with static. Hm.

(1) Go out into the shaft.
(2) Swear like a sailor.
(3) Do...stuff. Just like I did.
(4) Sing the Sprunkeldunkel song in Swedish.
(5) This space intentionally left blank.

@PP: Fine. You win. Goddamn stuck-up linguists.

"Åh, Livsmiljö Sprunkeldunkel;

Yay, an update!

Enraged by the lack of a vending machine where he can get delicious candy using his new-found coin, Vegetal stands up at the center of the elevator and starts cussing the heck out of everything imaginable like a sailor man on the worst day of his life (2). He does this while rotating continuosly like a police siren. Hopefully, somebody out of the elevator will hear this and come to our rescue... or just beg us to shut up.

Welcome to THE ELEVATOR, FPB!

Vegetal starts swearing better than any sailor man, using words such as "ANTIDISESTABLISHMENTARIANISM YOUR MOTHER!", and "ZORKA$$!".

The guy from 5th floor takes a nap, but is rudely woken up by a quite hearty "POLKAF**K!".

Pumpkin does the same thing I did...which is playing Mass Effect but now I can't play it since I somehow uninstalled DirectX so if anyone can help me with that I'd be grateful

Matt tries out various questionable ...poses... which involve the gizmo he has. He skips Pose 5 though, because the gizmo is just too big and pointy.

Hmm. This game is now R-rated.

And, for some reason, the console makes a quiet *ding-ding* sound.

(1) Go out into the shaft.
(2) Kill the goddamn stuck-up linguists.
(3) Engrave a message of personal nature in the elevator doors.
(4) Get a PhD in Culinary Arts.
(5) ______________________

Oh and, the intentionally blank space is there just because I'm uncreative and I'd like to see how creative other people are.

Now that Vegetal has vented his inner rage, he feels calm again. He considers going out into the shaft, but all that swearing made him pretty hungry. He looks at the bag of Cheetos that he opened while trying to crack the console password and comes up with an idea. He tries to get a PhD in Culinary Arts (4) and makes an experimental dish using the Cheetos, the bag itself, some cigarette butts and a piece of the elevator's rubber floor that he ripped using his bare teeth. Then, he decides to be his own judge and eats it in one bite, bracing himself for the reaction...

Pumpkin whips out his GBA, and starts playing a game that involves various falling colored blocks.

Really.

Matt teleports into the lobby of the Northbridge Tower.

Which is a very bad thing, considering that the elevator is on floor 459. No stairs will ever get you there. They go only up to floor 100 anyway.

However, the panel used to summon the elevator is obviously present here too, and the gizmo can be easily installed here.

(0) (ONLY FOR MATT, OBVIOUSLY) Install the gizmo and go up to floor 100 as quickly as possible.

Vegetal thinks critically for a few moments, and then decides that his dish tastes like pure Cheeto-ish heaven! Sadly, now he's all out of Cheetos and probably poisoned because of the rubber floor.

(1) Go out into the shaft.
(2) Order a pizza using the emergency phone.
(3) Tell the people in the shaft they'd better get inside.
(4) Look at the amazing patterns on the floor and ceiling.
(5) Rejoice, because you've actually made progress in this stupid game.

@SF: The console is what common folk and people stuck in the past would call the panel (such a stupid word), but this one is advanced, in the fact that it has a display screen, a password system, a built-in FiLIX v5.0 and a music player.

And it has the usual buttons, of course.

And a phone.

In a moment of unexpected insight, Vegetal rethinks the situation and decides it wouldn't be wise to go out into the shaft just when someone has teleported out carrying an elevator-gizmo-thing. Therefore, he wipes the Cheetos dust in his mouth using someone's shirt (hoping they won't notice) and tells the people in the shaft they'd better get inside (3). He promises there'll be pizza waiting for them.

Also, he starts feeling a little funny after consuming his fine piece of cuisine. Like he could... like he could... take over the world!  ...No wait, that was just gas.

Sorry I didn't update in so long, I was busy trying to think up a good insult for Mochaalatte.

Anyway.

The elevator console makes a *ding-ding* sound again, but this time, it's louder and clearer. The display screen lights up, showing a spinning MechaTec logo. The elevator is active again!

Vegetal tells the people in the shaft to get their a$$e$ inside. Let's just hope they listen to him.

The guy from 5th floor goes back into the cabin, and is quickly mesmerized by the amazing patterns. Let's just hope MechaTec didn't actually want to do this with their tiles.

Pumpkin does the same thing as Vegetal. Why should I write two different responses for the same action?

Joseph calls Papa John's Pizzeria and orders an extra-large pizza with sausages. When asked where to deliver it, he simply responds "Northbridge Tower."

Now that the elevator is active again, there's not much to do expect pick which floor to go to:

(1) 500th Floor: Observation Room & Lounge.
(2) 400th Floor: Executive Offices.
(3) 300th Floor: Labs.
(4) 200th Floor: Offices. (really just a cubicle farm).
(5) 100th Floor: Employee Relaxation Area.
(6) 1st Floor: Lobby.

Obviously, we can't have everyone going to different floors. This is kind of like a vote: tell me what floor you'd like to go to, and when more or less every player has voted, we'll go to the floor with most votes.

So the elevator wasn't really broken? It was just disabled? The plot thickens!

Anyway, Vegetal proposes the following plan of action: first we go to the 100th floor (Relaxation Area). Gotta wait there for the pizza delivery! (also Matt, who should be on his way to that floor). Then we go to the cubicle farm and get our set of office weapons. Finally, we pay a visit to the executive offices and demand an explanation... and if we don't get one, we'll just let the good ol' berserker's rage take over and do its magic. Those zorka$$e$ executives are gonna pay for locking us in that elevator (also for all the unpaid overtime).

So... a vote for 100th floor here (5).

I'd go to the 500th floor (1). And since a new chapter has begun, i would like to announce it:
Edit by someone who didn't realize he was an idiot: Deleted intro. The post below this one explains why.


Oh, also, i have new userbars for each of you.

Sorry, but i don't have any more. I will edit this post one i made the others.

Uh, I realize this is extremely rude, but:

DO. NOT. TOUCH. MY. GAME.

I'd be more than happy to work with you on the next chapter, but if I'm the game host, I think it's my call to decide when chapters end or begin, no?

Besides, just announcing that a new chapter has started without even asking me if it's okay seems even ruder.

I'm sure we can work something out, but in the future, please first go to me before taking over my game.

Yay, happy ending! Isn't this great? :D

Now that I think of it, the game's surely getting popular. It has already spawned speculation, fan fiction, custom userbars... I call dibs on the official action figures!

Now to continue our epic quest. Everybody, don't forget to vote for a floor.

SiaE fanfics? Where?

And to tell the truth, I'm surprised this game became so popular. Mostly because I never really had any idea about the story when I started it, and the first half of the game was spent doing, well, nothing really important.

I support the action figures idea. Maybe we could even have a Model Northbridge Tower - Now with Moving Elevator Technology™©®!

Well, I thought SF's intro kinda qualified as fan fiction.

That could be a completely different forum game: "What would your action figure have?". Then everyone can go rambling about the features of their own action figure :P

I have a piece of the game's plot, right here in my inbox.

Spoiler: Message to me regarding the plot for the REAL next chapter. May or may not spoil big chunks. (click to show/hide)

Isn't that AWESMOE*?

*The word AWESMOE is supposed to be in those shaky letters you see in Super Paper Mario.

Well, only Joseph needs to vote now, then we can move on. I hope he turns up soon.

I think Firecat (a.k.a. the Guy from the 5th floor) hasn't voted yet too.

The guy from the 5th floor wants to go to the 9th floor so he can deliver the goodammed reports. but since 9th floor isn't an option he thinks that Vegetal idea its better he votes to go to the relax area in the 100th floor (5).

Boy, this is a problem. We have two votes for 500th floor and another two for 100th floor. It's all up to Joseph... but he seems to be totally spaced out in that corner, thinking about his sausage pizza and flooding the cabin with saliva...

Okay then, 100th floor.

I was thinking of changing my vote too, but I'd prefer if everybody had a chance to vote. I propose to wait for another day and then Yuka decides which floor we'll be going to (even if it's a random choice, I don't mind).

I really wanted everyone to vote, but I guess we'll skip him. Fine. 100th floor it is.

The elevator goes *ding-ding* and MechaTec's* innovative Elevator Rocket Thrusters* activate and send the elevator hurtling downwards. The numbers on the fancy-shmancy-renaissance-art-deco-modern-art* counter change with blinding speed, until the elevator is past floor 111, when the rocket thrusters shut off and the elevator goes down the shaft until it stops at floor 100.

The doors open, and all the people who were stuck inside step out into a crowded lounge full of disgruntled MechaTec employees who are having hour-long lunch breaks. The deliveryman from Papa John's Pizzeria hands them a pizza with extra sausages, and quickly disappears in the crowd.

CONGRATURATION! A WINNER IS YOU! YOU HAS GOT OUT OF VERTICAL TRANSPORT CAGE FOR GREAT JUSTICE!

But what happens next? Well, find out in the next episode of the Messville Chronicles™ (Worth All The Five Dollars™), coming soon to a forum game board near you...

*PointLezz Info™ entries unlocked: MechaTec Industries, Fancy-Shmancy-Renaissance-Art-Deco-Modern-Art, Elevator Rocket Thrusters.

PointLezz Info™ is kind of like an encyclopædia of totally pointless but at least remotely interesting stuff. You can view entries at any time by simply, well, asking me.

Does this means I can keep the pizza? I promise to take care of it and raise it like my own son.

Anyway... comrades, VICTOLY is ours!  Looking forward to the next episode :)
