It's been way too long since our last chain story! So, let's do it again! Last time was very successful with six awesome and weird stories created by 20ish awesome AGSers. See the results here. (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=38663.msg508943#msg508943)
I've got a fun idea to keep things fresh for this round. A little simpler than last time, a little zanier than last time. I'm going to stick with the three teams idea and again make it a competition with a vote at the end and signature trophies for everybody! So, post below to sign up for this round!
Sign ups will go for one week, and we'll get underway on May 12th-ish. Don't sign up if you know you're going to be busy or away from the computer for a couple days in the week or so after May 12th. People disappearing really breaks up the flow!
I'm hoping for around 20 people again. When I have an idea of how many peeps we'll have I'll announce the rules and then we'll be underway!
Thanks!
Be sure to post your email address as well, or if you don't want it posted here, email it to me at vince.twelve@gmail.com or PM it to me. Please post below regardless!
I also need a volunteer to create the trophies! Last year they were generously created by Atelier Games.

As for trophies, I'd love to create some again, but only if nobody else is interested. Really looking forward to the stories, as before. :)
Hmm, I somehow missed out on this last time.

Edit: my tutor just dumped a huge essay on me so ima have to withdraw now.
I was really looking forward to it, maybe next time.
I'd love to join, but I'm not sure I have the time.
What amount of time and at what hours would this require?
Like last time, everyone will have three turns. During your turn, you'll receive a partially-completed story and have 48 hours to add 200 words to that story. So as long as you think that in any given 48 hour period over the next couple weeks you'll have enough time to:
-read a story
-consider how to continue it
-write 200 words
-and pass it on
then you're good! Of course sometimes people's turns overlap and you might have two stories piled on you at once and still have to complete them in that 48 hour period. This happened to one or two people last round.
Mainly people just need to not be vanishing for extended periods.

Awwww yeah [/pointless post]

Also, I must add that at some point, some asteroids might pop up in the story. I'm just putting that out there...
Oh, and I suppose at this point I can reveal the theme for the chain stories this round:
"Stories without any asteroids in them!"

Just a bump to say that you have two days to sign up for this activity! We'll start Wednesday. There's always space for more!
Here's a hint at this round's twist: There will be some broken-picture telephone elements!
AND: We're going to have a "celebrity" guest to start us off! :=
Ok then. Sign me in.

I'm not a celebrity Vince, don't go flattering me and all, it won't get you anywhere. :D

One day left to sign up! I'll cut off sign ups in 24 hours so that I can randomize the teams and orders and the game will start shortly after! I'm going to post the rules for this round so everyone knows what's going on when we start!
Sweet! This is my first AGS Chain Story, so I want to be sure I'm 100% clear on the rules and I promise to do my best! :D

Yeah I'm in.

See you all there :D
I'm in as well.
I hope there will be several shorter stories instead of one or two really long ones.
petterlj at yahoo dot se
That's the plan (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=40882.0)! There will be teams similar to last time. The number of teams and lengths of stories to be decided by how many people we wind up with. I'm tentatively planning on having three teams for a length of 6 to 7 people, but might go to four teams. I think a min of 5 to and a max of 8 is about the right number, so I'm trying to keep it around that. Let me know if you think otherwise.
We've got 22 right now, so four teams= two teams of five and two teams of six.
three teams = two teams of seven and one of eight
So, yeah, maybe four teams would be better. If more than two people sign up in the next day, it will definitely be four.
Ok, I'm cutting off signups now. I'll randomize the team and start this soon. This thread can be locked by a mod. Continue in this thread (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=40882.0)
