Community Driven 1 Character vs Environment Game?

[Stildawn]

Hi All

Way back ages ago when I first saw this place there were a few community driven 1 character vs environment games which I found quite amusing and fun. I am thinking of hosting one myself as they are super simple to run and don't require huge amounts of effort on either the Host or the Players part.

So I'm just gauging the opinion here, would you guys be interested in something like this again, I have a plot in mind but due to the nature of the game you guys could fully ignore that if you wanted and just explore the (real) world haha.

Its super lax there are no roles no commitments, all the players will be controlling the main character by simply posting what they think the character should do next, I then read the posts gauge the general community concensus and do the action most popular and thus the story progresses.

Does this make sense? Haha I'm trying to explain it but failing lol.

Basic Format:
I do a write up of a character and their surroundings/situation/whatever else I include in the write up. This is followed by a 24 period of community discussion/action suggestions.

After 24 hours I then read the thread and all the posts and take the general direction from the community and "perform" that action, I then do another write up of the outcome of that action with all new things that happened etc. Then it starts again the community reads the write up and discuss/suggest the next action :)

Simple enough?

So would you all be interested in this? I'll probably do it anyway as even if it bombs its not a big deal as its not like I'll be investing all my time into or anything :)

Cheers

I say go for it, if you're ready for the time commitment.

In the past these games were pretty popular and usually gathered a pretty loyal player-base from the get-go. Usually the reason for them ending was, as I remember it, the host losing interest and stopping the updates.

[Stildawn]

Yeah I'm gonna set a time limit for the events behind the scenes so the Community can in fact "lose" if they care that is lol. From what I can think of in my mind it should be fairly easy to run.

I'd be in for something like this - no matter how long they last, they're always a nice diversion and fun whilst you're playing.

I search the room for treasure.

I try to get out the voices from my head. With sword.

[LazyMcCrow]

Very much down to the theme and the quality of the writing ;) I'd certainly follow this if your work is up to snuff - the low-commitment requirement suits my general MO ;P

[Darth Feather]

I'll be in. I don't have too much time (I am in quite some games atm) but well. In

[Visor]

Look around. (Not in)

[El Barto]

Give me a PM when you are hosting this, I'll join.

Time to re-ignite my age old rivalry with my best bud Chaotix.

[Nigel]

Sounds interesting.
I'll give it a try.

[Stildawn]

Looks like theres interest.

I have the basic plot drawn up, but it will evolve as the character moves through the world. I'll hopefully have a intro write up by tomorrow :)

[Askthepizzaguy]

I couldn't participate but I would like to watch.

[Double A]

I assassinate the king of England.

[El Barto]

Pizza, this is not about your sex life.

Order for our character: prevent pizza from watching.

[Double A]

You could've insulted Pizza there. Who are you and what have you done with Tak?

[El Barto]

I'm El Barto, not Tak. If I were Tak I'd be posting cat pictures all over the place. You don't want me to be Tak.

[Stildawn]

I really should get onto this haha to end this spam thread lol.

Got half way through the intro but then the weekend happened and it was my daughters birthday and we had family staying at our place (crazy times lol for a grumpy old man like me lol)

The cake is a lie.
