Note, not your generic forum game.
MMMMMYou rub your eyes groggily as you slowly rise out of slumber. It’s funny, you don’t recall ever actually going to sleep. The bright light makes it difficult to open your eyes immediately and you blink gingerly, allowing your eyes a few minutes to adjust. When you finally manage to get a good look at your surroundings your body freezes as a wave of panic floods over you.
Where the hell am I?
MMMMMYou find yourself on the floor in a gigantic room, the size of a large warehouse. The ceiling is at least 30 meters above your head and there are innumerable large fluorescent lights beating down on you. As you forcefully hammer down the panic trying to well up inside, you notice the inordinately large amount of doors. There must be at least 100, maybe more. An enormous digital clock attached high up on the far wall reads 10:23:57:27, the last number counting down in 1 second intervals.
MMMMMUpon further inspection you notice a number of others scattered about the room coming to in a similar fashion. They look vaguely familiar, but you can’t put your finger on why or where you think you might have seen them before. From the looks on their faces you surmise that they’re in the same boat as you, completely bewildered, without a clue as to where you are or how you got here.
MMMMMBefore you can talk to anyone, or even get to your feet, you see one crazed young boy dash toward the nearest door. You think you can just make out a number “84” painted on it, but it’s too far away to be sure. Without warning or hesitation, the youth turns the door-knob and pulls. For a split second relief washes over you as nothing happens. Maybe the door is locked or stuck or something. But a moment later the door gives way with a loud creak and begins to open.
MMMMMA sense of dread, immediate and profound, grips you tightly. It probably grips the guy who opened the door too, but it is too late for him. His body is engulfed in a fiery flash that instantly incinerates him, leaving only a cloud of ashes to float gently to the floor.
MMMMM The shock of what just happened doesn’t sink in right away. It was too sudden and too unbelievable to take it all in. You and the others look around at each other looking for answers in each other’s eyes, but no one has anything to offer. Everyone is just as perplexed as the next guy. The same thought thunders through our head once again, this time much more intense.
Where the hell am I?!
MMMMMM - You are “you”. You don’t have any powers you don’t have in real life. If you’re 12, then you’re 12 in the game. If you’re 35, then you’re 35 in the game.
MMMMM - You cannot make up anything at all about the game world. Go on what I give you. If you want more detail, then you’ll have to have yourself do some searching around. I’ll tell you what you see and then you can further choose to interact with whatever you find or see.
MMMMM - If there is stuff that everyone can know just by looking around from their starting spot, I will post that here, so everyone can see. If your character goes snooping around by him/herself then I will PM results that should be known only to your character.
MMMMM - In general, real world physics applies with one general exception: All conversations players have with other players can somehow be heard by everyone, no matter how low they whisper and no matter how far away they are. So if you want to keep a secret, you have to keep it from absolutely everyone. If you tell one person, you tell them all. You can, however show someone something, in which case only they could see it. You’ll probably want to do that through me.
MMMMM - If you’re going to play, then please post a short “bio” of yourself. Just some simple statistics will help. Age, weight, height. General physical characteristics, are you athletic? Do you really like math? Etc. etc. (I suppose you could lie if you really wanted to, and no one would know). No need to go super in depth at all. It might not have any bearing on anything, but then again, it might. So, whatever you want to tell me.
MMMMM - You can all feel free to talk to each other at any time. Share what you know. Whatever you want. But if you want to do something other than interact with the other players you have to do it through me. For simplicity’s sake simple things like walking across the room can be role-played out by the player. You don’t need to check with me to make sure you make it across the room safely.
This Hasn't started yet. I kinda wanted to find out if people would even be interested in doing this. If you are, it would be nice if you could post here, and also maybe include a short bio about yourself.
