This is just a dumb idea I had. Basically, one person puts some text describing the situation that we are in, then puts in a command, like one would in a Interactive Fiction. The next person describes what happens as a result of the command, then puts in some description and a command of their own. Example:

POSTER A: You are in a room. There is a bottle in the room. There is a door at the north end of the room.

>Go through door.

POSTER B: You are in a hallway. There are two closets, one on the east side of the hall, one on the west side. There is a kitchen at the north end, and a room behind you.

>Check east closet.

Ect, Ect. Please refrain from doing something stupid, like saying something stupid along the lines of "DIE" or "PUNCH SELF" or anything like that.


You are asleep. You hear an alarm clock go off.

>WAKE UP

You open your eyes. It is pitch black.

You feel drowsy.

You hear an alarm clock ringing.

It's not exactly naive. And it can happen. But it's tough. And definetly worthwhile.

You throw the food in all willy-nilly, as is your usual custom. Time for one of your trademarked omelettes! You hear a loud whistling from outside.
