Interest in a third Italics order game?

I'll need permission from mods.

Even if I don't, I wont do it without it.

GH said in the other thread that it was up to you.

However, if we want to formalise it. I suggest that people work on stories in advance and work out how many turns it will last.

I think 1 turn per day, for 30 days (similar) average could count as a short game. A large game would be 3 months, aka 90 turns. A huge game would be more.

I would make my Org version a short game, for instance.

Also, I think we should formalise the name/genre as: "Interactive Story" as it is akin to interactive stories.

You can't really judge that to it... Something as simple as in splits game, what if we didnt go home. We would have never found out we don't appear in picture and therefore etc etc.

A multiple person one sounds interesting, but it is fraught with problems, such as, are other characters allowed to know the results?

So this might mean you might result in having to do PM's to give out results (which hides the story from others).

The biggest problem of such a move is the fact it will take up a lot of time doing a lot of orders. So there must be a significant time investment on your part to make it work.

Well my idea was to just post everyones moves openly, but they send me orders via PM, so no body knows whats happening really till the write up....

As for the effort levels, it would only be a small number of players like 10 max.

Stilldawns idea sounds more like a normal role playing game. Not that theres anything wrong with it.

**Stildawn** · 01-14-2010, 03:58

yeah basically but will be as open ended as GH's game.... like no set rules at all lol.

If you stay tuned to my game, you'll find out the answer to this question very soon, probably in one of the next three writeups

Yeah, shouldn't you be getting on one of those write-ups about now? You've only had all day.

I said to give me time for a reason, which will become clear when you read the writeup... I need tiem to gather information, do rolls, and whatnot. It's really going to take a long time.
