Okay, i have already seen a similar game somewhere, but not here.

What the game's purpose is to create a story. Anyone can enter at anytime. It's starts out with me making a place, a person, and a weather. Then on post 1, 2, 3, and 4, different people will create one new character each. On each post that is a multiple of five, the person has to take away one character and add another one. On each post that is a multiple of nine, the location changes (outdoor or indoor place or even "?"). And on each post that is a multiple of forteen, the weather changes.

How you post a new entry
make the character's name in bold
talking is normal text
actions are in (parenthesis)
write location in italics
put weather in [brackets]
anything else go in <these thingies>

more stuff
-The character that is to be removed on the fifth turn cannot talk on that post.
-Each character can only talk once in each post.
-Unlimited use of actions! (don't go action crazy)
-You may add back a character that has already been removed.
-The logic in the location and the weather doesn't matter.
-Same with how you add/remove characters.
-if two or more respond for the same spot, then the later ones must change their post to fit their current place.
-NO DELETING POSTS! The way to find out what number we're on depends on the posting number on top of that post. If you delete your post, there will be a gap in the numbering.
-e-mail me at mudbuck@hotmail.com if you want to ask me a question. Don't ask me here.
-Always, ALWAYS be courteous and polite to other GLers.
-And, of course, have fun.

now with all that aside, let's begin!

[sunny, windy]

(Dick, the surfing instructor, arrives)
Dick: I can teach you how to surf, for $1,000,000,000. Wanna do it?
Tom: Sure!
(Tom hands Dick $1,000,000,000)

mudbuck · Dirty Dollar

(running towards Tom is Sam)
Sam: What are you doing? We need to leave to New York City in only five minutes!
Tom: sure, but I bet this guy can teach me how to surf in only two!
Dick: Hey, you sir! (points at Sam) Do you want to learn how to surf?

Beartalon · 'Party line' kind of guy

(bit player Harry runs up too. This is just for comedic effect, since now you have Tom, Dick and Harry)

Courk · Daedalian Member

(Huge wave crashes to shore, sweeping Sam away)
Harry: Oh my God! Someone help Sam! That wave just took him out to sea!
Tom: Look! He's gone under!
(Lifeguard Lenny runs up in his stiff, lifeguardy way)
Lifeguard Lenny: I'm sorry, guys. That wave has killed Sam.
Dick: That bastard!

mudbuck · Dirty Dollar

Mudbuck: (appears from nowhere) Oh great... Sam was supposed to die in this post...
Lifeguard Lenny: You mean I could have saved him?
Tom: What'll we do?
Dick: There goes another million bucks I could have gotten.
Harry: I'm hungry.

mathgrant · A very tilted cell member

Tom: Let's eat some salmon.
Dick: Yes, and while we do that, why don't we listen to some classical music?
(Dick pulls out a classical CD and puts it in a boom box. He plays "Les Moissonneurs".)
Harry: Wow, what serendipity, that's my favorite classical piece! Next to Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, of course.
Lifeguard Lenny: Mine too!
mudbuck: What's "Les Moissonneurs"?

Courk · Daedalian Member

Tom: I think it's about a French guy who steals candlesticks.
Harry: No, fool. It's about harvesters.
mudbuck: So-orry. Not everyone has your immense knowledge of musical pieces.
Dick: Hey! Lay off him!
Lifeguard Lenny Yeah! No arguing on my beach!

Tom, Dick, Harry, mudbuck and Lifeguard Larry: Looks like nothing is happening at the moment.

(Dick changes the song to Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition.)
Harry: Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition! My second favorite. Say, that reminds me. They have a new exhibit at the Dinner Prayer Museum! Wanna see it?
Tom: Why not?
Lifeguard Lenny: I sure could use a break from my duties! Let's see that exhibit.
(The party drives to the Dinner Prayer Museum.)
Dick: Oooh!
mudbuck: What is it?

Courk · Daedalian Member

Dick: It's Sam! He must have survived the wave!
Sam: Yeah, no thanks to this worthless excuse for a lifeguard!
(Sam stabs Lifeguard Lenny)
Harry: Uh - wha - Dear God! There's blood everywhere! Why, Sam, why???
Tom: I'd say revenge. Lifeguard Lenny didn't try to help him because he is Sam's evil fraternal twin, and he wanted to solely inherit their uncle's estate, instead of sharing it.
mudbuck: ... Oh... umm... What do we do with this body now?

mudbuck · Dirty Dollar

Harry: Well, lookie here...
Tom: it's a trash can! We're saved
Dick: Okay, on three, we heave this thing in. 1... 2... 3...!
(everyone heaves the body into the trashcan.)
Sam: Great, it's too big. i'll have to cut it into smaller pieces.
Mudbuck: Uh, (looks in the opposite dirrection) guys?

MatthewV · Daedalian Member :_

Tom: You are right. Stuffing dead people in trashcans is way too old for us.
Harry: Yeah. Lets do something creative.
Sam: Or helpful to nature! Lets feed him to the fish!
Dick: No, let's ship the body to Alaska and feed him to extinct carnivorous Stellar sea cows!!
Mudbuck: Ur...what if we get caught.

mudbuck · Dirty Dollar

Sam: Let's stuff 'im into a cannon and aim it at the ceiling, and... um... shoot it!
Tom: Yeah!!!!
(Tom and Sam take the body out of the trash can and slide it into a trash can.)
Dick: Uh... where did you guys get the cannon?
(Sam lights a match, burns the fuse, and the cannon shoot Lenny through the ceiling, which, now, was mostly on the floor, if you get what i mean.)
Harry: Dang... i didn't know that cannons make things explode.
Mudbuck: Arg!!! i should of seen this coming!!! it's post 13 for crying out loud!!!

mathgrant · A very tilted cell member

Tom: I wonder how the weather is.
(It is [hailing].)
Dick: Arg! My car! It's gonna get dings in it!
Harry: How are you going to get out of here to fix it? There's guards everywhere!
Sam: I have an idea! Let's lull them to sleep with Brahms' Lullaby!
mudbuck: Like that ever works.

Antrax · ESL Student

Tom: Hey look, it's Mr. Pirate!
Dick: Hey Mr. Pirate, why do you have a rudder in your pants?
Mr. Pirate: Yarr, it be driving me nuts!
(Pirate stabs mudbuck in the face and mauls the guards)
Harry: That's not very funny, and why did you stab everyone anyway?
Mr. Pirate:Yarr!

Sam: come on, let's get out of here.
Dick: what about the body?
Tom: (whispers to Harry) i think Mr. Pirate is drunk, again.
Harry: Don't worry. i'll take care of that. (He takes a lighter and sets fire to Mr. Pirate's keg of beer) You probably know why i did that, Mr. Pirate.
Mr. Pirate: Yes, but why did you burn the rum?
