There's a game I've seen played on multiple forums through out the age of man in various forms, so I'd like to try making a version for our use. For practicality, I'm calling it the three word story. The story is compiled by splicing together everyone's consecutive input. Each participant posts a three word line with tasteful punctuation and such cut-offs when there is a need for it. Every next post must build upon the last post's three word line. You don't need to copy the text, just post a continuation. And please don't double post, you only get one line at a time. Let's keep it C&C oriented so we get something unique. But please keep it somewhat of a coherent storyline (example: don't kill off our main character as a joke). We'll compile the posts and post the full story by editing this first post every now and then. If two posts get sent in at the same time, we'll try to splice them in, so watch out for that notification! We'll end the story when we feel its potential has been exhausted or it comes to a good conclusion on its own. Note that you can drop in and out of the game as you please, just hop on and make a post whenever. No need to announce yourself. Example of how the game works: POST 1: A Nod cyborg POST 2: was making a POST 3: snowman when suddenly POST 4: he got EMP'd. POST 5: He exhaled, deeply, POST 6: only to realize POST 7: he didn't know POST 8: if he would POST 9: ever finish his POST 10: snowman. GDI was POST 11: the culprit. They POST 12: snuk around him... (ect.) We'll flesh out any additional pointers and rules as we run into bumps in the road. We'll refine the guidelines along the way. Additionally, if you feel like commentating about the game, make sure to first include your three lines clearly at the top of your post separated from your thread comment so it's easy to collect all of them for compiling, maybe mark it in the gold text color like the following. Let's see how this goes.
