Suggestions and Announcements

The last thread on this topic was closed, and I didn't see a new one opened, so I am creating it again.

This is where you can suggest threads/games, or relay important announcements (not personal ones, but ones that could affect ASWoT, like GM changes, etc.).

Re: Suggestions and Announcements

Suggestion:

For voting, I stole this one from Community Chat and modified it a bit:

RPG Game Mash-Up

Player posts the following:
1) A brief creative synopsis of a game based on the post of the person above.

2) Last Show Watched:
3) Last Book Read:
4) Last (non-RPG) game played:

(Although "last" one should be what you actually done/watched as the object, you can, of course, be creative in listing responses.)
____

Example:
Player 1:

Last Show Watched:  True Blood
Last Book Read: Alice in Wonderland
Last (non-RPG) game played: Scrabble

Player 2:

Vampires go through the looking glass to seek the blood of wordsmiths.  [or the player could just list a new RPG game, such as:] d20 Vampyre Spellers in Wonderland.

Last Show Watched:
Last Book Read:
Last (non-RPG) game played:

etc.

I personally preferred it when we used the stickied thread for suggestions.

Doesn't this count towards NoLife though?

Also we've used it like this before.

How much interest would there be for a pun thread? Would it be o-pun for business, or cause to be sent to a pun-itentiary?

If you can come up with some sort of 'rules' for a pun thread, so that there's a bit of a point to the game, then sure, I'll put up a thread for testing.

Suggestions and Announcements

How about this?

The player must come up with a pun on the topic that the previous poster suggested. Then that player posts a topic for the next person to make a pun from. The pun does not have to use the exact wording of the topic, but must be related to the topic chosen.

EXAMPLE: Topic from last post (Player 1) is poetry.

Player 2: Did you hear about the bad poem that was turned into a song and became verse?

New topic: Sheep

Player 3: Don't come to me, I'm taking it on the lamb.

New Topic: teeth


and so on...

Might I suggest that the focus of this proposal be broadened into “word play” which would include not only puns, but double entendres and phonetic mix-ups too.

Suggestions and Announcements

Let's broaden it way further and just start writing the Library of Babel

Edit from 2036: Guys this was a huge mistake, it killed the game and several of the players. I think it even took away RabbitBall's sanity! FourLegged stopped posting for months at a time and only occasionally came in to beg us to stop with the madness... I lost myself for a while too in those endless pages of ever-complexifying letter combinations... But in the end, only I was mentally composed enough to come back through my ASWOT-Brand Time Wasting Machine (TM) and warn you all never to use my forbidden idea! Do not listen to the feverish incentives of this barking fool and instead follow a more moderate line! Yes, the user Shadow surely has a sufficient suggestion! NOTHING GOOD WILL COME FROM SEEKING THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE GODS IN OUR MERE MORTAL SHELLS!!! YOU'VE BEEN WARN---!!
