This game is simple: we, the tropers, take turns telling bits and pieces of a story, alternating between fortunate things in the story and unfortunate things.

    Example 
Troper 1: Once upon a time, there was a Zorua walking in public. Troper 2: Fortunately, he was disguised as a human due to his shapeshifting abilities. Troper 3: Unfortunately, he's stuck like that forever. Troper 4: Fortunately, he can go on a computer, and thus he could go on TV Tropes. Troper 5: Unfortunately, while browsing TV Tropes, an ad appeared, and right when it did, the poor Zorua was sent to an 'install now' page that was really a ploy for the Zorua to accidentally get his computer infected with adware. Yet this is an intention to the developers of the adware...

It goes on until the thread is locked, we all lose interest in this very thread, or whatever other reason you could think of.

Now get to work, tropers! I won't start it because I already used up all of my ideas and/or imagination on the example.

A long time ago in the mighty Empire of Zambonta, there lived a powerful wizard and his young apprentice.

Unfortunately, his apprentice was planning to betray him.

Fortunately, the wizard had a plan!

The possum is a potential perpetrator; he did place possum poo in the plum pot.

Unfortunately, the apprentice had a backup plan.

Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately), he was soon arrested for the murder of his apprentice, the apprentice's parents obviously not very keen on having their son killed by his own master.

Fortunately the authorities were completely incompetent and were still unable to catch him.

Fortunately, the wizard was on pretty good terms with Jatonsta, and they had tea together.

Fortunately, the wizard was able to use his magic to dispel the ghost.

Unfortunately, the wizard used up the last of his mana casting this spell.

"Doki Doki Lit. Club" is a happy game where nothing bad happens. seriously tho? not for the faint of heart.

Fortunately, he found a magic sword under a sleeping badger that was there for some reason.

Fortunately, the wizard found a loophole that allowed him to use the sword.

Unfortunately, this bound his soul to the sword meaning he must always be within twenty meters of it or he shall perish.

Fortunately, he found a loophole that only part of the sword had to be near him, so he sawed off a little piece of it and superglued it to his forehead.

Unfortunately, this made it really hard to talk to people. They kept staring at the chunk of metal on his forehead.

Fortunately, he was able to turn it so that a) it hid the sword chunk and b) it allowed him to show off his ponytail.
