The Questions Game
« on: August 01, 2013, 05:51:04 pm »

(Start of game here)

This is (as Voltgloss put it) an "interactive forum-based text adventure."  You will be put in a situation and do things there.  It's funner than it sounds.  A few rules:

1. This will be for a max of four players.  It can get crazy with more (I've always done this irl, this number may be different as I see how it goes).  Signups are first come, first serve.
2. There are no turns, people just say what they do whenever they want.
3. When you /in, PM me your name in the game (I'll still refer you to your username though when mentioning you) and a single superpower or piece of equipment you start with.  It can't too powerful.
4. There is no real "end" to this game, people can drop out if they wish (then someone else can come in as well!)
5. No saying to do something inappropriate, all such commands will be ignored.

Sign-up list:

1. Voltgloss
2. Jorbles
3. Kuildeous
4. Galzria


P.S. The way of playing this game was made by my brother, so credit goes to him for making it.


EDIT: I'll be editing in rules as I think of more:

6. Please bold all actions that you will do.  Anything not bolded will not happen.  You can discuss things non-bolded, of course.
7. All actions are final.  Even if you change them, you can't.

Also, a random note, I won't always be around, so it might be a while before it gets updated.

It doesn't matter if you do, this game isn't competitive in any way.

How does the actual gameplay work? Would we treat our posts in the thread like a console entry?

Your bolded posts.  Then, when I get here, I say what happens.

I will say the full description of each player and their power (and the specifics of it that you didn't specify) when the game starts.

I only see 3 in, so count me as 4. Is randomness good in this game or do I need directed thought?

Faust has also been incredibly stubborn this game. In other news, it's hot in the summer, and water falls from the sky when it rains.

Either, it doesn't matter much.  The main point of the game is for you to do whatever you want, so be random if you want or be directed if you want.  One time, at the beginning of a game, someone thought, "I'm going to work as hard as I can to become an atomic baby."  And he did.

Apologies for putting name/item in the thread, I completely glossed over the instructions to send it as a PM.  My bad!

It's fine, I mainly did that so it wouldn't be quite so messy in the thread.

I currently imagine mail-mi wearing a dark trenchcoat and a bowler hat, hunched over a bit, toothpick in his mouth, holding a gun in his pocket.  One bead of sweat trickling down his nose.
