Text Adventure

(Text Adventures are simple enough. I don't know if this belongs in RP, but I feel it is the best forum section to post this, so here I go. The rules and such are as follows:

I, the narrator, will lay out a story and a series of events for you to read. Based on the reading, you will be prompted to take action. It is then your duty to provide an action for story to follow. The first post to offer an action that is acceptable (nothing dumb like "lol eat yourself") is the post that will be followed. All other posts are welcome, but will be disregarded. It is preferred that actions are started with this: > (This is not mandatory, but will help me separate the discussions and actions)

Example:
PROMPT - You are in the middle of a hallway. To the NORTH is a RED DOOR and to the SOUTH is a BLUE DOOR.
GOOD RESPONSE - >go to the BLUE DOOR
BAD RESPONSE - EAT A HOLE IN THE WALLS AND GO SUPER SONIC

If you have any questions, feel free to post them or PM me.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Story coming eventually. Feel free to discuss or suggest things in the meantime.

You could always have a separate discussion thread? That's what we do in the RP Crew forums to separate OOC discussion from rping

This looks interesting, I'll keep an eye out for this.

Seems like it'd be interesting enough. Reminds me of dungeon quest.

I need to take up a random survey before I start this thing (in a new thread, because this will become the discussion thread if this goes ahead)..

I am usually inactive online during weekends. This is usually because I have company over and we binge on gaming from Friday to Tuesday morning.

I am also seeing only two people showing interest. I realize this forum is slow, oppossed to Red's forum which has me banned. I just want to know if people will be patient enough and if enough people will be active enough with this. I realize activity will pick up in about a month, but I am speaking about the now.

Will people be patient and participate?

I'll probably participate, I'm kinda used to long waits and then sudden bursts of activity with RPs!

I'm probably going nowhere with this, so if someone else wants to completely take this over, go ahead.

I double-post, however, to signify that I'll have to put this down because I just noticed something about the Old West. Not good with that kind of stuff.

Well that wasn't long before it got shot down...

Trust me, it's not that I don't know where I'm going- but I'm not an expert on Old West themes nor am I a big fan of creating 100-page possibilities to do the game.

Since Christoph basically handed this over to whomever wanted to do it, I would assume you could use whatever theme you want. Or make a new text-based adventure thread with the same rules and a different theme.

You can change the theme. Heck, you could even make it about the actual west of the globe, not the U.S. West.

Or nothing about the west at all.

Isn't the US the West part anyway? Actually, this "East/West" thing is stupid. It only works if you're in the UK. Asia is East, America is West. If you're in America its West to Asia and East to Europe. Blah.
