Rules
 
This game is similar to the three-words-game, with a few differences. You can write as long as you want, but try to limit the actions in one post. Just think of this as an RP in which you control all the characters (of course, everyone takes turn controlling them), so keep the characters IC (in character). Each poster MUST post either a happy or sad or neutral incident in the story, alternately.

Here's an example (I will just use one sentence, for convenience sake):

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

Storyteller A: Mr. X is a wealthy guy, but due to the economic crisis, all of his money went down the drain.

Storyteller B: However, Mr. X won the lottery and received a large amount of cash.

Storyteller C: Due to the high taxes incurred, the amount of money received by him is reduced to only a meager sum of 15 cents, though.

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

Try to stick with your faction. Meaning, once you are trying to lead the story to a happy ending, don't suddenly switch to the group of guys trying to give the story a sad one. And please, try to keep the number balanced. It would be unfair if 2 'Good Ending' guys are gang-banged by 6 'Bad Ending' guys. The Admins might suddenly drop a plot twist, though, after a certain period of time, so watch out!

Well, you can throw weird stuffs and Deus Ex Machina out, but please include details such that it sounds plausible. You are no longer limited by paragraphs, so write your hearts out.

And, of course, no double posting.

All posts must begin with either this:
Quote:
 
Tragedy

or this:
Quote:
 
Comedy


Depending on your faction. Once again, please stick with your faction.

I will post a story later... Of course, if you wish, you can immediately start one, don't wait for me.

The story began as thus...
Even during the very last time
My voice was still like a mime:
A lot on my mind,
Yet nothing came out as fine.

"Well, ladies and gentlemen, this nuclear plant has been standing for 25 years, now," the tour guide explained unenthusiastically. "It has provided power to the whole neighborhood since then, allowing all people to turn on their TV set and stuffs like that."

This whole trip is boring, Shelana Daylamb thought. What could one learn from a trip like this, anyway?

During her holiday, Shelana's parents have decided to go on a trip to their hometown and took her along with them. At first, Shelana was happy not to be left alone with her dreadful babysitter, but she has soon regretted that thought. As they, along with other tourists, join this dull trip, the thought of her home kept returning to the back of Shelana's head as her boredom increases and increases. She even began to miss her babysitter.

Man, even Mrs. Vermicelli was less boring than this guide.

"Any questions?" The guide scratched his face. "Okay, let's go to the Radioactive Disposal Area, then. Follow me..."

This is too much.

Unnoticed by her parents and the other tourists, Shelana quietly left the group to explore the plant on her own.

OK, post away. Remember, the factions can only post alternately. And, even though the term might be misleading, comedy and tragedy refers to the nature of the incidents that happen to the main character (whether it's a happy thing or a sad thing), not the level of humor in one's post.
