    Scriptwriting game

    I thought it might be interesting to try a forum game where each poster can help to create a story, in the form of a movie script.

    The idea is simple, each poster can contribute as much or as little as they like to an ongoing story within the thread.

    The rules should be pretty straight forward, and they are as follows:

    1. Try to make the story as coherant as possible!
    2. Each subsequent post should lead on from the previous (if our characters are in a mine field, it wouldn't make sense for them to suddenly be in an airport) If you wish to change the location of the story, you should think of a logical set of plot devices in order to change it!
    3. It should be obvious which character is talking.
    Janice: Oh hello Bob, how are you doing today?
    Bob: Not too bad thanks Janice.
    4. Posts that aren't part of the on going story should be clearly marked so, or be within [ spoiler ] tags, to avoid unnecessary confusion!
    5. If there are two posts within a short amount of time to eachother, it is up to the next poster to decide which story they would like to continue on with. Otherwise, a poster may choose to edit their post so that it functions as a continuation to the post (if possible...) or remove their post, and try again later!

    If that sounds easy enough to follow then lets begin, I'll set the scene!

    Title: A knife in the dark
    Author: The BG Community

    ACT 1
    SCENE 1

    Two shady characters are stood outside an strip empty club in the middle of the night. There are neon lights illuminating their faces, but other than that it is very dark. The entire area looks like a horrible part of town, not a place you'd want to go for a night out with good company... There is the muted sound of dance music coming from within the club, but added distraction of noise doesn't stop the men from chatting amongst themselves. Their talking is inaudible to the audience.

    A man walks into the scene, and heads over towards the men stood outside the club, he looks like he means business...

    The man swaggers up to the two men standing outside the club, and starts speaking...

    Neil: Hey guys whats up? You know any place a guy can score some rock... Not just any rock, I mean the best rock... The kind that FUCKS YOU UP, you know man?

    The two men look at each other confused, then one man motions to the other towards Neil. He pulls a knife from his jacket pocket, and points it towards Neil.

    Shady man 2: Hey ese, my friend here, he don't like what you say. He thinks you should leave now, chu got dat?

    He moves in towards Neil, making his ill intentions even more apparent to the man, and just then, Neil...

    Spoiler: show
    I guess it's up to the next poster to decide which post they prefer to continue the story with, I can't really think of any other fair way of deciding.

    Suddenly the lights all go up in the club and Neil and Savior Spy discover that this was all a set up! They are both shot to death. Neil's last words, as he stares up at a seductively beautiful woman are, "Give Jerry the package behind the bar..."

    just before the very moment of the explosion superman appears out of nowhere. it seems like superman is flying straight towards NPH. superman grabs NPH tightly with a bear-hug. even though, NPH is exploding but superman grabs him so tight that it puts him in a state of uneasiness for being so close with another male. as superman flies toward the sky at the speed of light, nph explodes! Revealing his delicious candy core....

    Superman flies back to the ground, which happens to be in Odessa, Texas.

    He reaches for his neck-

    Starts peeling.

    THATS NOT SUPERMAN

    IT'S... OBAMA!!

    Obama: "Change... we can believe in."

    Suddenly a wave of zombies approaches. A mad (German, of course) scientist with grey hair pointing out in all directions rushes over.

    Scientist: Ze Zwine Floo, it haz turned ze peeple intu ze zombiez al elong!
    (Texas is closest state to Mehico yo!)

    Obama backs off from the scientist with bits of Superman still peeling off.

    Obama: Ch-ch--chaaanngeeee

    Zombie Obama lunges at the scientist ripping his grey matter out through the roof of his mouth. Suddenly NPH reforms around his candy core (NPH can't die,
    Spoiler: show

    ). Zombie Obama (Called Zombama from here on) stares at NPH while eating ze scientist. His eyes glow bright yellow. NPH knows what he has to do...
