@Max: Yeah, I've actually never GM'd on this forum before, although I have with friends in real life. It's going to be pretty freeformed and kind of silly to start with though (but still with signups so that it doesn't get overloaded). I'll post a link once I finish the first post.

[Furtuka]

Oh. Bluh I was halfway through writing what would be the first post introduction for the plot I came up with
 

[Skyrunner]

What happened to my canon carronade cannonade

[Gatleos]

And lo, the mistress of magnitude and bearing left on a long journey across the stars.
For five interweb days and 4 interweb nights, the Twelve Bays wept in silence.
When at last the storm had passed, a great confusion, silent and wary was left in its wake.
Bereft of their comrade, they sallied forth. The Great Derp had struck.

-Book of Bay12, GD 15:7-8

[Aklyon]

somewhat freeform and silly is how I started You Are Wizard, and look how that turned out.



Probably should update that, but I can't think of where to go with it...

[Furtuka]

Spoiler: Aw what the heck, I'll go and post the opening that I had written up (click to show/hide)

     The people of Bay12 frantically chattered in the meeting room. The previous hour's events had brought despair and joy as the forums were returned to its healthy state. But the Bay12vers needed an explanation. What had caused this almost catastrophe?
 
    Suddenly, the large screen lit up. All fell silent as the Great Toady One made his proclamation.

    "Two and a half hours ago the Bay12 Forums suffered a major crash. This incident brought the server to it's knees and for a time, rolled it back to it's state of being from three years ago.    ...This was no mere crash gentledwarfs."

     A graph popped up on the screen.

     “Directly before the crash occurred, a timequake was detected, originating from the date of February 19th 2009. As you may have noticed, this also happened to be around the date that the forum rolled back to.  Evidence suggests that this quake was no accident. Readings indicate that a malicious entity was responsible for this occurrence. With the specific intent of permanent destruction of the forum!”

     A gasp rose up out of the crowd of forum goers

    “It is for this reason that I now give you this assignment.”

    A door opened up beneath the viewing screen. Those standing closest to it could see some sort of portal at the end of the corridor

   “Bay12vers, your mission, should you choose to accept it; is to travel back in time to the day of the quake. Once you have done so, you are to locate the source of the time quake, find out why and how did it cause this, and prevent it from doing any further harm to the forum.”

    “Good Luck Bay12vers, and may Armok bring you success on this endeavor”

thoughts?

There it is. I don't know, it likely won't start very serious, but it could go either way.

It doesn't have any relation to the forum, just general time-travel, by the way.

Hmmm. Looking at what you made, it seems that my idea is sufficiently different enough to allow it to be made as a separate game.

Yeah, I tried to do a quick-edit in there to say that, but you ninja'd it!
I was planning on it to be silly, but I started writing and it became..less-so. Oh well!

Which I am interested in.

[Loud Whispers]

Oh crap, my heart box just cracked, but alas a jar will suffice, my dictionary is safe >;3

[Furtuka]

Okay I went and made another game. Here's the link

Travel through time; Save the forum

[Skyrunner]

I like your idea, Furtuka.

[Loud Whispers]

It is now known as the great forum derp of 2012

[Heliman]

Ironically the forum crashed somewhere around the time my college's web crashed.

Oh well, toady may be a professor but I know he doesn't teach at Northeastern University, I'd have had him as a teacher by now if that was the case.
