The other day I had a thought, the forum games that involve adding things to some hypothetical person, place or thing have little to no (permanent) interaction between the posts, in this game I aim to change that

The rules

  • the poster above you desribes how they would like to modify the monument, along with a brief description of its current appearance

  • you describe how the monument the poster above you posted, along with any changes they might have made, along with what changes you wish to make

  • the poster after you takes your description and modification request, and makes a new description along with a new modification request

Additional rules/guidelines :

to prevent it from getting to long in descriptions, the maximum length of the description for the monument shall be 480 characters (not including spaces, and yet it is exactly two tweets thankyouverymuch) [this is a guidline not a strict rule]

no undo-ing something that was done immediatley before you or before the person before you, to prevent people hogging the creative vision to themselves

Example post

  • Alice: before you sits a black monument, it is five feet tall and has a shiny black exterior, it is topped with a single pointed end. I wish to paint the monument red.

  • Bob: you see a red pointed monument, it is five feet tall, it has a distinct shine to it. I wish to carve the letter 'B' for bob into its side

  • Claire: I witness the monument, it is slightly shorter than me, and is a shiny red, except for a spot where the paint has been scratched in the shape of the letter 'B', I wish to add the remaining alphabet characters


Now with the preamble out of the way here is the first real post:

Before you sits a stone slab that is 15 feet tall, and 5 feet wide, and 5 feet deep, it is of fairly high-quality stone, but is not polished or sanded in any way. I wish to chisel the TV Tropes logo onto the north face of the monument.

Somewhere in South Dakota (no, i don't live here), there lies a monument that is 15 feet tall, 5 feet wide, and 5 feet deep, with the noticeable engravement of the TV Tropes logo. I wish to make it a bell tower.

Out on the South Dakota prairie, I encounter a pillar of unworked stone, fifteen feet high with a five-feet-square cross section. A bell is mounted on top. One face sports a carving of the TV Tropes logo; I turn that face to the southwest so it can catch the afternoon sun.

A stone monolith stands stall in a South Dakota prairie. It measures 3 x 1,5 x 1,5 meters, unworked, save for a bell affixed to its peak. The logo of TV Tropes was carved to the side facing southwest. Marks around its base suggests that the pillar was rotated into this position.

I construct a small altar in front of the logo and leave some lit votives.

Nothing seems to have changed. But perhaps one day it will.

A pillar stands in the countryside of South Dakota. It consists of high-quality, unpolished stone, and appears to be moved, with a bronze bell mounted on top. The engravement of the TV Tropes logo stands in the southwest side, with an altar in front.

I add the wall of monument contributors in the northeast side, writing down all that participated.

The engravement of the TV Tropes logo stands in the southwest side, with an altar in front. There is a list of everyone who contributed to the monument engraved in the northeast side.

I carve "K42" into the northwest side.

Seven colors in the rainbow. Seven letters in the word "rainbow". Coincidence? I think not.

A pillar stands in South Dakota. It consists of high-quality, unpolished stone, and appears to be dragged a fair distance, with a bronze bell mounted on top. The engravement of the TV Tropes logo stands in the southwest side, with an altar in front. There is a list of everyone who added to the monument engraved in the northeast side, the Letter K and the number 42 can be found on the northwest side


I tape a copy of Hitch hiker's Guide to the Galaxy just below the "K42" on the northeastern face
