Breaking the 4th Wall: WW [Running]

[rakkoon]

Might I suggest taking a co-narrator? Just in case RL takes over or just to give you someone to talk with

To be honest I'm not sure I'll need one. The roles are straight forward and the story shouldn't give me many problems either (the title gives hints at this). If I find i'm in difficulty I'll put out an appeal. Thanks for keeping an eye out for me.

Only problem might be if I don't get killed soon in a few of the WW i'm playing

I think it's more about the number of one-narrator games that have suddenly died because the narrator stops posting. I think I was in about four of them.

[Qwaz]

Hmmm in that case I'll get the gameup and running and then ask amoung those who didn't want to play if anyone wants to co-narrate.
Maybe one of the first few deaths can become a co-narator if they aren't going into the AL replacement pool.

[Arden]

I'm in if you're still taking.

[Qwaz]

Always still taking right up until I say i'm not

Glad to have you aboard. The more the merrier!

[Hipen3]

I'm in. Yay

[Randomness]

If no one minds, I'd like a shot

[rakkoon]

yay, more people joining, I'm as happy as a phone ringing on a toads back!

And indeed, some WW organisers even get banned and such. Beware, BEWARE!

Fear not I shall be extra polite ;)

I charge you all! Go forth and bring back more players! I send ye to the 4 corners of the playground! To Central & to banter. To PM's and any networks you may be in in other games! Go forth and the game shall prosper!

On a less arch note. Game will be starting early next week. The more players the better so do spread the word.


EDIT - Game should start Tuesday or Wednesday. Accepting sign ups right up until I start to assign roles.

[BobTheFerret]

Why, my good fellows, might it be possible for me to partake in the gleeful entertainment which this game should surely provide?

(Can I join?)

(My initial request fell short of the character limit. Sorry. )

[billtodamax]

Aw man, I know Qwaz needs more players, but I'm not sure you'll make the cut.

The more the merrier!

[Thufir]

OK, OK, I'll play.

[rakkoon]

Showtime? eager beaver

[Qwaz]

Sure why not.

Recruitment is officially closed.

Assiging roles...etc. Expect Role PM's soon and Day one to begin soon after.

[Qwaz]

MS: ...or possibly it was early February. I forget now. Either way I was logging onto the forum as usual to catch up on all the gossip when My various virus scanners went crazy!

TD: Crazy?

MS: Yeah! Bells and whistles all over the place. Flashing red lights. The works.

TD: Well? What did it mean?

MS: I hadn't a clue! A friend of mine, who's far more accomplished in the silicon world than I am, had set up all the defenses years ago. Naturally I gave her a call at once.

TD: Go on.

MS: Well she found the site was under attack. A hacker had somehow got free in the server and was laying the foundations for all kinds of trouble.

TD: But wait a minute! I don't understand. If the Hacker's already in the system, you're scuppered. There's real not a lot you can do anymore.

MS: Exactly! That's the beauty of it! This isn't a story of our race to find a super anti-virus. This is the story of Human Ego, of throughly applied Logic and the trust of your fellow man.

TD: You've lost me again.

MS: Well, like you said. The hacker was already in the system. Had effectively won already and the rest was just a way to pass the time. With the help of Claire I sent the the hacker a challenge. I challenged the Hacker and those they brought with them to a game played quite commonly on the Order of the Stick Forums. A Werewolf game. The Hacker couldn't resist the chance to prove how much more intelligent they were. I asked for the bravest of the posters to step forward and volunteer to defend the forums they love. In seconds I had 100's of which only the smartest 24 were chosen.

TD: How did you choose?

MS: Ok, I didn't. Only 24 volunteered. But they were all very smart! Anyway. The Hacker randomly hijacked some of the user accounts with his virus and the game began. The Stakes? The Playground! Winners reign supreme.

TD: Hold on. You'ld been in contact with the Hacker. Surely you knew who they were?

MS: Ahhhh but you see these games always have to start out the same way. Someone has to keep law and order. Ajudicate the shenanigans and stop any frivalous cheating....

Summary: Qwaz was ejected from the Playground. He was the Narrator.
Day 1 begins now and ends in about 48 hours.

[Lex-Kat]

Of the 24 players, I'll start off by pointing at Saposhiente. For no other reason than I've never pointed at him day 1 before.

[Qwaz]

A quick few notes

1) Due to a fear that chaining would occur & role gathering might sneakily go on I've removed the portion of the game where those could be applied (Everyone was to be swapped around for example...fluff-wise zeb the troll (player) could be playing Alarra the responsible user (character))

2) The villager PM was the following

Hi!

Breaking the 4th Wall is beginging now.

You are a loyal forum user. You only want to relax and commune with fellow posters. Your job is to stay alive and hunt out the Trolls. (Villager)

3) I'm not usually one to bend or flex the time limits due to lack of actions. If it's been 24 hours and the I haven't got night actions in when I come to update...tough. This is not to say I won't occasionally have a late update if RL gets hectic for a few hours

Random vote for a Random Person.

[rakkoon]

Hmm, Randomness sounds like a hacker name to me.

[Imperial Psycho]

There are a a suspicious number of players with Ra at the start of their name. I smell conspiracy....rakkoon

[Ramsus]

I don't like the train of thought Imperial Psycho is following as it ends up running right over me.

Who else has a name begining with Ra...?

Ramsus

[byers2142]

GrlumptheElder for TPAM as a semi-random day one point.

[Internet Flea]

Looks like Ramsus is seventeenth again.

You know what's even worse? The people who try to hide it. Isn't that right, Gray Mage?

[rakkoon]

(choir in the background goes
Ra ra rasputin, lover of the interqueen )

[Imperial Psycho]

Interqueen? Not Russian Queen?

[rakkoon]

Yeah, Russian queen didn't really make sense so I was going for Internet Queen or something. Ah well, I'll leave the songs to Supagoof then

[Imperial Psycho]

Ah, as in internet Queen. I see.
