It's Anyone's Game : a collaborative project

[Kino]

The idea of the game is that anybody in this forum can update this adventure
Different artists / writers will take turns continuing the story.

However, in order to maintain some vague sense of sanity, there will be some rules.

After I post the first page:

In order to post the next entry you must claim it.

After an update is posted anyone on the forum can ask to go next. This can be as simple as posting "Dibs!" or whatever you want, as long as you're claiming the next turn in some way. The first person to posts dibs after an update gets the next turn. There will never be some big order list, turns will be at a first come, first serve basis.

After you claim the next turn you have 48 hours to post the next entry.

I'm sorry if this seems strict but this is just to keep things moving. If you do not post your update in time the previous first-dibs rule applies and your turn is now up for grabs. Also, if for some reason you find out you don't have time to update, it would be nice to post in the forum and pass your turn. Asking for more time is allowed however.

You must wait two turns before you can go again.

NO CROSSOVERS / MSPA OR MSPAFA CHARACTERS / FAN TROLLS / SBURB GAMES / etc.

This includes self-insert characters of any kind. Please don't crosspost your OC's from other forum games. Also, no pre-existing alien races. Let's make up our own!
Anyone's Game should be an open-ended adventure (sort of like Jail Break). Also, to keep things more open-ended and unpredictable, I don't think this should be a SBURB game but instead be something completely original on its own. It can be inspired by MSPA and other things, just please don't copy entirely.
Inside jokes are okay but don't use them all the time forever.

Continue the story.

Please do not suddenly change the whole story completely (without reason, anyways.) It should make sense with all the previous entries. Also, please no Mary Sue moments. Lastly, if an update is confusing (such as, the next person can't tell what one of those objects in the background is) wacky misinterpretations are fair game.

Only your update counts as an official part of the story.

With spoilers you can clarify what something meant in your update or make a suggestion or two about what could happen next. But if you make outright demands on what has to happen next... these will not be canon. The reasoning behind this is, first, it makes it easier for new people to join and make updates. People shouldn't have to worry about missing secret rules or stepping on other contributors toes just because they missed a hidden away memo. (There's enough to keep track of in the actual story). Secondly, because in severe cases it could be a form of railroading.

Be creative!

Feel free to use any art style or medium you choose, as long as it's easy to recognize what's going on and we know which character is which. Half the fun is going to be seeing all the different ways people create / draw their updates. Using photos or text-only is allowed but hand-drawn is recommended so that the next person will have more to work off of (and photos might be limiting depending on the situation).

If you don't follow the rules your entry is skipped.

This is also rather strict but if massive derailing happens / posting a turn without dibs / etc. then the next turn should continue from the entry prior to that point.

Lastly, HAVE FUN!

Apologies for the wall of text and I hope you find that these rules are fair.
Let's get started!

>Begin adventure



Oh god, how the hell did you get here?

You do not have complete amnesia of your life but you cannot remember or fathom how the hell you ended up on some kind of floating, gravity-defying island. Has reality glitched out? Are you dreaming? You're not quite sure that you're dreaming since this feels very, very real.
You can't remember yesterday that well but at some point you must've blacked out and regained consciousness in a world with strange architecture and utter disregard to physics.


>INVENTORY:

WALLET
It has a small amount money and your school ID. These are fairly useless right now.

KEYS
Keys to your family's apartment. You normally keep them with you so you can get back home after school. Also currently useless.

CHARGED CELLPHONE
Obviously there's no signal but it's the closest thing you have to a flashlight if you would ever need one.

(Note: you can't Be the other character(s) yet because you haven't interacted with them!)

What will you do next?

[Filio]

This HAS been done before, but that was some time ago.

I don't think I should reserve.

[Jovian]

I like this idea and would most likely take part. there's a webcomic that actually does something like this...forget the name right now, but yeah. I like these things.

[swampmist1142]

I like the cool stairs place personaly

I like the cool stairs place personaly

Well, I ended up going with that idea. I tried making a decent kick-start for this without getting too detailed. (Also, I don't know how to delete polls... I guess it'll just stay up there for the time being).
Anyways, this means that Beta is over and we can get started!
I have edited the first post and added in an update.

Reservations are now open!
If you want to take dibs, post in color! Otherwise, you can type regularly and not have to worry about accepting a responsibility you don't want.

Also, if anybody wants to use the original sprite...

Play Doodle Jump on your cellphone.

[piester]

> Look at school I.D., find out your name.

[oidip]

Dibs

[oidip]

Oh so thats your name.
Wait whats that new bit on you Id?
You don;t have an ID#. Its just a school library card. They can't be bothered for complicated ID systems. Hell they don;t even check you go to the school before giving you one.


Well may as well play doodle jump..

Whooo this is awesome!


Messages?
From who?
This is a fairly new phone. Not many people have my number...


Well thats confusing...
Maybe I ought to have some flash backs of how I got here...
Meanwhile a few minutes in the future:

I chose the name but its up to the next person to decide who the green person is.
Also its up to the next few people to decided whether 7 or 000 is telling the truth.
It really doesn't matter but I would prefer 000 to be.

[Reecer6]

7: Stop bluhing around

[Kino]

>Notice that Doodle Jump thing escaping from your phone

I am very tempted to take dibs again but that's against the two turns rule... would people mind? I guess I'm just excited to get the story going. And so far so good.

Actually, I think it would be pretty interesting if 7 was the one telling the truth... or maybe they're both in it for themselves and winning (?) the game involves some sort of deception. But who knows...

[oidip]

Sure you can dibs again.
All you really did was set the scene.

I guess either way we can work game like mechanics into it which I like because regardless of who is telling the truth as Will is in a new universe which more than likely has different laws of physics.

>7: Stop dancing around, there's more texting to be done.

It's difficult but you manage to resist dancing long enough to answer your phone again (the music in this Green Area is so awesome!) You have a new message.



Oh, it's basically just Six just telling you to stop being a crazy, dumb bitch and she's tired of telling you to be serious about things. You may appear silly at times but fun is your serious business. Being called crazy is actually quite an insult but your annoyance quickly subsides to pity. If only she knew how to have a good time for once! But oh well, everything will happen in due time.

You fire off a few quick and polite messages on your old, shitty phone and leave it be for awhile.


>Continue your travels.




Feeling particularly euphoric again, you marvel at the houses' festive decorations and wait for the parade to pass by the entryway before venturing off to help your new friend.

I didn't have as much time to draw as I thought and spriting takes a while so SUDDEN ART SHIFT.

>000: Find out 7 sent a text to Will
>000: Be angreh

[CornbreadTheMan]

7: Look in the house behind you and attempt to reap spoils.

[oidip]

>7: Flash Backs

[CornbreadTheMan]

DIBSSSSSSS

[CornbreadTheMan]

>7: Flash Backs

You stop in the house nearby and remember when Six shaved your head.
Well, it wasn't so much "shaved" as it was "burnt off." Or was it? You don't have the best memory.
In any case it was Six's fault that you are now bald. She occasionally makes fun of you for it, she's made fun of you for a lot of things, but she feels pretty bad about it.

Suddenly you remember all of it! You were always bald, and none of that ever happened.

You decide to text 000 about it.

7: hey hey! 000!
000: Oh god.
000: Would you leave me alone, I'm actually trying to do something.
7: it was soooo craaaazy man!
7: i was all, Six shaved my head, but then i was all, oh wait no she didn't
7: isn't that wild!?!?!?
000: Yes, quite.
000: Well if you don't have anything meaningful to say I'll leave you to your devices.
000: And enjoy the forest.

Well it confirms he hallucinates all the time, and text entries are fine dude.

>Go through that portal to Will's area

[laserdogbad]

okay you went threw the portal to wills area

[Kino]

Whoa.

And uh, dibs, though I probably won't upload anything until day after tomorrow. (Though hopefully sooner).

[EDIT] Actually, I got a PM from DelitaHyral asking if he could go instead. (And of course he can). So currently it's his turn!

Kino said I could post this to put a bit more detail into that command.

You hop right on into the portal, singing various jaunty tunes as you cross through the planes of space and time.

...

You don't like this place as much as you liked the green world; there isn't any music here for you to dance to.

[Kino]

Yep, this is an addition to that last command.

Also, I'd still like to post dibs for next turn again, but still, I won't start until the day after tomorrow. If you really want to go, you can PM me before then and I can give up my turn.
