Choose your Own adventure
« on: March 21, 2009, 17:16:52 »
Remember those "Chose your own adventure" books? Well, here's a game based off of them!

Rules:
1. Post with "Page " number you chose at top.
2. Post what happened on the branch you chose.
3. Post the possible page number choices and what they do.

Example:


Page 45:

You jump onto the roof of Mr. Jarky. He yells at you and threatens you with an unloaded pistol. You stand up, almost losing your balance.

Go to...
Page 56: Get off the roof. Page 40: Jump into chimney.


So let's start!

You are standing out side (And facing) Boston mall. There is a pile of shopping carts to the left of you.  about a hundred or 2 cars are parked behind you.

Go to...
Page 2: Check inventory. Page 4: Jump in pile of shopping carts. Page 6: Go towards the cars. Page 3: Go inside the mall.

Yeah, the page numbers are un-necessary and slightly confusing.

11. Search the heap of trolleys

You begin searching through the jumbled mess of carts. The cart collecting employee on the other side of the lot turns and sees the mess. He sighs and and begins walking toward you.

You see something move in the pile... you squint to try to make out what it is... It's a tiny drunken homeless man! It looks like you've disturbed his home.

42. converse with homeless man
666. eat homeless man
34. throw homeless man at incoming employee
69. eye employee suggestively

You throw the homeless man at the employee. The employee is knocked backwards into a window and is knocked out. The homeless man picks himself up and glares at you. He seems to be fairly angry now that you destroyed his home and threw him.

3. Run inside mall
666. eat homless man
23. stare blankly ahead

This is a weird story. XD

18. Go to sleep.

You decide to take a nap. Getting in the most comfortable position you can find on your rock-solid mattress, you begin to doze off.

"Hey."
You wake with a start. A man in an orange prisoner's vest is standing on the other side of your door with the key.
"You coming with me, or what?"

7. Go with the man.
9. Go back to sleep.
834. Whisper "pilchards on toast".

Let's keep this consistent.

56. You grab up the console and dash away. Around the block you go. You keep on running in circles for a long time. This makes you dizzy. With the world around you spinning, you end up right in front of your neighbor's house. You are about to crash into the wall.

12. Keep running as fast as you can
19. Swerve left through open window
62. Drop console and brace for impact
91. Screech to a halt

Are people actually checking if a previous page hasn't already been used, so people don't mention a page with an action that already has been done? and what about pages that have an action but haven't been mentioned throughout the story?

I honestly think this is not gonna work for a forumgame, and thus turing into a spam topic.

This is basically like the ??? game we had on the old forum, except with random numbers instead of A, B, C, D.
I don't think this is spam though. There is a set of rules, and the things people are posting is a bit more advanced than spamming.

The problem with round robin stories like this (or ???) is the community.  It has to be a community in which everyone wants to make sense and be coherent and not conflict with others.  That's pretty much impossible.
