I remember a really old children's book that is the basis for this game. Basically, you have a character, and goodthings and bad things keep happening to him. I'll try to recite what lines I remember: (he was going to a party, this excerpt is in the middle of his story)
Unfortunately, Clark's plane blew up, and he had to eject.
Fortunately, he had a parachute with him.
Unfortunatly, the parachute had a hole.
Fortunately, there was a haystack beneath him.
Unfortunately, there was a pitchfork in the haystack.
Fortunately, he missed the pitchfork.
Unfortunately he missed the haystack.
Fortunately he landed in water.
Unfortunately, there were sharks in the water.
Fortunately, Clark could swim.
Unfortunately, the sharks could swim faster.
Fortunatlety, Clark reached land.
And on and on, until he finally got to the party he was invited to (which, fortunately, was his own birthday party)
So I'm starting a game based off of this. I think it'll be...interesting...to say the least. I'll begin the story, (with a fortunately) and the next person to post will make something unfortunate happen to him. The next person rectifies this with a fortunately, the next person makes an unfortunately, and so on and so forth.
Rules: Pretty much here to state the obvious, but also to warn dumbass n00bs.
-When you post, it must be the oppostite of what the person right above you posted. So if someone, say, posted a fortunately, you really want to post an unfortunatly, but someone beats you to it, tough luck. Go with the flow or not at all.
-No killing the character, obviously.
-For that matter, do NOT make a fortunately/unfortunately that stops the game and makes it impossible for someone else to post. If you do, I will make sure an admin smites you and removes your post so it can be mocked in teh A.M.
-No multiposting. That means, do not post a fortunately and an unfortunatly in the same post just because you want to. You get one line, and that's it. Kinda like the Next Word Game. (though you can occasionally get away with technically posting more than one word in that game, it will NOT be tolerated here)
-This one is more for amusing asthetics than for purpose. You don't reeeealy have to follow it, but it would be cool if you did. Everytime you post, change your message icon (right under the subject bar, for those of you that don't know) If you're posting a fortunately, change it to a Smiley. If you're posting an unfortuantely, change it to a Sad.
I think that's just about it for the excessive rules. Now for the game!
EDIT: Removed invalid text.
Also, it's gone to the treasury? Good gods, I never even dreamed this could happen when I first started this game! :boogie
Fortunately, that damn sponge has been dead for years due to lynching.
Unfortunately, Paul was the leader of that lynch mob and has been on the lam for years.
fortunately the cops don't care as they were in on it too.
unfortunately jack thompson decides to do a little *insert illegal drug* and sues nintendo for making a spongebob game and making some random kid kill his parents which never actually happened... then a giant mushroom lands on the white house lawn and off it comes the prince off of katamari damacy to eat up the president and Harrison Ford.
Fortunately, that was all just a mass hallucination. Everyone's been spending the past few hours staring up at the sky and drooling.
Unfortunately everyone has the munchies now and someone ate all the chips
Fortunately they made more chips.
unfortunately those chips were nothing more than bittersweet chocolatey goodness...everyone is now fated to die a death by chocolate.
fortunately death is relative and thus means the death of a healthy life style.
unfortunately death is also permanent, so the truth is everyone has become chocolate starved zombies.
Fortunately, chocolate-starved zombies are funny!
Unfortunately, the zombie hunters are not amused.
Fortunately, the zombies aren't also ninjas.
Unfortunately, the zombie hunters are.
fortunately i turn into a guy version of a mary sue for a day and put every single zombie on the slim fast diet plan...
unfortunately, it was the really cheap, knock-off slimfast stuff, and got the zombies really fat.
Fortunately, the zombie hunters went on the same diet so it evens out.
unfortunately the rotting slim kwik in their bellies makes the zombies as explosive as nitroglycerin, and gives the zombie hunters explosive diarrhea... as well as heartburn, nausea, indigestion, and fatty liver disease.
fortunatly the zombies now explode in a massive fireball chain reaction type deally and they all die because of a shotgun labeled bat
Unfortunately, that was all just a second retake of the commercial for Spells R Us (unfortunate because it was a really bad commercial and got really low numbers).
Fortunately the Bloodbath and beyond comercial was a huge success.
unfortunately its success was so vast that the economy crashed.
fortunately that was just a simulated ordeal and the real zombies are over at eb games playing video games...
unfortunately deathklock was scheduled to hold a concert across the street with millions of fans awaiting their arrival including Coop, Goat, Kiva, and Jamie, the unfortunate part occurs when the Death Cube lands on the electronics boutique across the street with the zombie gamers inside, and when the cube opens more death occurs.
http://www.vidiac.com/video/ed0cb471-052d-4ef6-878c-98ba01274250.htm
fortunately coop and the gang remain safe throughout the concert and even manage to aviod the coffee and stop deth kloks chef from dieing.
unfortunately the chef still gets cut to pieces by the helicopter because of coop's inattention to detail.
fortunately Kiva always can fix Coop f*** ups and the chef is back to normal, albeit more effecient.
unfortunately George krstic decides to be idiotic and sues amber 50 million dollars for not keeping her forum in check ultimately leading to no more dmfa (oh noes)
fortunately, everyone has a DMFA revival concert and DMFA lives on!
unfortunately Amber decided that that was as good a reason as any to start Publishing/writing/Illustrating short stories for all of her mabsland characters.
Fotunately, Mabsland turns out to be just as good as DMFA
Unfortunately, it updates far less often.
Fotunately, We move on the newset movie that came out
Unfortunately, the movie turns out to be really bad.
fortunately Halo made millions of dollars in the deal even if the movie is to be directed by Uwe Bole (?) oh god, did I let out the secret?
unfortunatly yes you did and the name uwe bole made us all slightly depressed
fortunatly the movie isn't named bioshock (shiver that game freaks me out)
unfortunatly the movie was terrible anyway
fortunately for the gamers the integrity of the game makers would let them whore their games out for the movie industry to butcher and both movies were never made.
Unfortunately, they've decided to make a sequel to the Doom movie instead.
fortunately (or wait is it) jack thompson (sp) gets on the directors case and the director has to give it a harsher rating (like mature)
Unfortunately, it still sucks.
fortunately it discredits jack thompson
Unfortunately, he keeps trying.
fortunately a company finds reaon to sue him and win.
Unfortunately, he doesn't let that stop him, and he keeps trying.
Fortunately, he is found to be certifiably and irredeemably insane, and is locked up in a padded cell in the deepest part of Lower Slobbovia and left to rot forgotten and alone.
Unfortunately, he had himself cloned just in case something like this were to happen. So now the world is being invaded by the Jack Thompson clones!
Fortunately, the make one shitty army.
unfortunately this didn't stop them from taking over America, Africa, Europe, and China.
Fortunately, they had no way to hold on to whatever they overran, and were quickly overthrown.
Unfortunately their army was never defeated, by sheer lack of effort and continued to retake said places.
Fortunatately the insanity increased exponentially with each clone, and they soon tore themselves to pieces with their bare hands.
unfortunately that didn't stop them from becoming zombies, and the American government had to clone Mila whatevrhernameis, star of the Resident Evil trilogy, and Run Lola Run to combat them.
Fortunately, they tore each other apart and the world was saved as the greatest war ever was held
Unfortunately, this was all the plot of an extremely budgeted zombie flick... the unfortunate part is that they got the go-ahead to start distributing it to theaters.
fortunately all the theaters are out of business because the jack thompson clones sued the living daylights out of every theater in the united nations
Unfortunately, that doesn't do anything for theaters not in the united nations, and anyone in those theaters who watched the horrible zombie flick has turned into a zombie.
fortunately the definition of zombie has been extended to include sleep deprived human beings...with the desire to eat the flesh of dead mammals (Cooked, raw, or fried) while sitting in front of a television screen... this is fortunate only for the vegans of PETA, as they have started a militia to rid the world zombies and the homeless once and for all.
Unfortunately, they're also pacifists so they don't really have any guns. They just stand outside and shout pointless slogans at the zombies' homes. Eventually the neighbors get to the point where they've had enough and start shooting the PETA militia.
Fortunately, they don't miss :mwaha
Unfortunately, PETA has ninja-lawyers at their disposal.
fortunately those ninja lawyers are just really bad law students because real ninjas wouldn't dishonor themselves by becoming a lawyer... they'd be an executioner
Unfortunately, they're still ninjas anyway, and they start going on a rampage.
Fortunately, the ninjas are attacked by pirates, which stops them from rampaging.
Unfortunately, it's the Pittsburgh Pirates, who lose to the ninjas 8-1.
Fortunately, it was a great game, and good times were had by all.
unfortunately the loosers decide to have a post game homicidal killing spree...their weapon of choice a loaf of stale rock hard French bread.
fortunately seagulls as pigeons swoop; in stealing most of the bread.
Unfortunately, they also steal some innocent people.
Fortunately they steal a pirate, two ninjas and a terrorist.
Unfortunately, the groups they belong to see this as an act of war and start fighting each other in the streets.
fortunately they fight with water balloons.
Unfortunately the water balloons are filled with cement.
fortunately they were too heavy to throw very far
Unfortunately, because they can't be thrown very far, the land on everyone's toes.
Fortunately, it makes everyone bounce around, holding their feet, which was quite amusing.
Unfortunately, everyone survived. Even the stupid ones. 'A'
fortunately the foot pain distracted them form trying to hurt each other.
Unfortunately, not for long.
fortunately the God almighty intervened and everyone's the hairs on everyone's body turned white as the driven snow.
Unfortunately, all this did was to start a riot, as the groups blamed each other.
fortunately the riot was too far disorganized to cause much harm.
then burst through a window with gun's blazing, putting an end to the senseless violence.
unfortunately a giant neoplurodon jumps out of the atlantic ocean and lands on the city because it is just that awsome
Fortunately that stops the riots.
Unfortunately, it leaves a huge mess to clean up.
Fortunately, it's a very flat mess.
Unfortunately, it's also a very sticky mess.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of volunteers ready to help clean up the mess
Unfortunately, no one can tell a mop from a broom.
Fortunately, there aren't any mops present.
Unfortunately, there aren't any brooms either.
Fortunately everyone knows what a scraper is and gets to work.
Unfortunately, it's well stuck.
Fortunately, the cavalry arrives with sandblasters.
Unfortunately, they forgot to bring any sand to use with them.
Fortunately, the sand is coming in a separate convoy.
Unfortunately, that convoy is lost.
Fortunately, the people using the scrapers start to get the mess off the ground.
unfortunaly many people people help got sick from help and added to the mess the contents of their stomachs.
Fortunately, this seems to react well with the stuff on the ground, and they get it off easier.
unfortunately, the Cloverfeild monster arrives and everyone panics when they see this indescribable monster.
Fortunately, the monster so itself and froze equally perplexed
