[FORUM GAME] Collaborative Story (Round 2)

Discussion in 'Forum Games' started by nltimv, Feb 25, 2017.

  1. Hi EMC :)

    Yup, I'm at it again :D

    About six years ago, I was in Dutch class and I got an interesting exercise. Afterwards, I somehow never forgot that exercise and I want to bring it to EMC as a forum game. Because the first round was very successful, I decided to host another :)

    So, what we're going to do is write a story together, but with a few rules:
    • The participants will be assigned into a random order.
    • Each participant will write a story part. That means you'll continue the story where the previous participant ended.
    • Each participant will be PM'ed when it's their turn.
    • The participant will then continue the story in the PM and reply within 96 hours (4 full days), with at least 200 words. There's no limit to how many words you may use at maximum.
    • After all participants have written their story part, I'll randomize the participants again, and we'll do the same thing once more. This means there are 2 rounds!
    And here comes the interesting part ;)
    • Each participant (except for the first) will only get the last few words of the story part the previous participant wrote. Asking the previous participant for more information is not allowed.
    • This means you can indirectly influence what the next participant will be writing. You can either help the next participant out or put them on the wrong track ;)
    • Each participant also gets a few other words from me. The participant must use these words in their story. The bigger your story part is, the more words you'll need to use.
    When all participants wrote their part, I will put the story together and post it on a separate thread in the Writers Corner.
    I'm looking forward to see what kind of interesting story comes out :D

  3. A famous man once said, "Here we go again". I think that applys to my participation.

  4. I would like to participate under 1 condition. Could you change the rules a bit? Since this is round 2, I want to see something new. :)

  5. The rules have changed quite a bit since last time. For example, the word limit is gone and you're writing two parts instead of one. What more do you want to change?

  7. Sign me up, this was a ton of fun last time! (Although this time I am going to see if I can do a better job at staying closer to the original story line :confused: :oops:)

  9. I have randomized the list for the first round, and the order of writing will be as follows:
    • EndermanMagic
    • JDHallows
    • 607
    • FalloutHood55
    • Shadow_Dcord
    • EnderMagic1
    EDIT: EndermanMagic isn't available at the time and is therefore moved to a later time.

    I'll be sending out the first PM shortly. :)

    If you want to join late: Now is your final and only chance!

  13. Unfortunately, 607 isn't able to write a story part, so at request he has been removed from the particpants list.
    I will send out the next PM to FalloutHood55 shortly.

  15. Sorry for the lack of updates lately, but FalloutHood and JDHallows have submitted their story part, while EnderMagic1 didn't make it in time.

    I'm sending the final PM out now, and after that we'll finally be able to read the full story! :D
