Obiously rockets were involved.

It looks like         is offline, and I wanna see how this works out, so I'll post the first turn and see what happens. I'll wait for everyone in the future...


You realize the world is a hamster, and you are now a flamethrower.
(6) You tried to come up with a plausible explanation for why the trees were so brown and straight and tall, and also why your recent burp was so warm.

(No I'm fine just being in the game, it's awsome that I actually got in but anyway)
you start looking for organic matter and you find... a baby seal and a puppy! That's kind of sad really, you decide to not devour their litte whittle cute faces!
2: you spread out into the sky, bearly holding toghether under the mental strain, and you find a small cave! And there's some smoke coming out of it, huh
3: "whhhaaaatt aarre yoouu heer f for" you say in an insectoid buzzing voice as each of your insects buzzing and clicking together their armour plates in anticipation

(2) The second head was in control. (2) You had tried to keep your thoughts grounded while you figured out what to do next.

Ribbit.
(6) Omega tried whispering to himself about the precious, and instead ended up yelling out Ribbit. Such is the way with frogs, can't keep quiet.

I blend into the void. That is a result, not an action attempt.
(1) You just wanted to be a normal elephant.





I just realized I have no mechanism for effecting the world. Everything you do actually happens, I just get to write what you were trying to do. I'm not sure I care, but does anyone have any suggestions for how my role could be expanded?

That's because you are the player, not the GM. Also, you can have the action be a reaction to something.

Limit the abilities of people posting results to once every ~5 turns?

You could use the Parallel Worlds interpretation, and switch to a different version of reality when ever you feel like it.

(Hmmm, praps you change this, make you play normally forward from the start and you do what we are doing now backwards from the end of this game,)
I mean, play normally from the start, and play backwards from the defeat of the final boss

True, I can have the action create the setting. I'll see if I can leverage that over the next couple of turns.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by that. Elaborate?

That feels a little cop-out ish. Especially for an RtD designed around a strange mechanism with no real substance other than the humorous results of that mechanism.

I think I know what you mean, but that's a version of a backwards RtD, I want to run an inverse RtD. :) In other words, I like the idea of you all posting results, and me posting what caused them, I just need to find a way to have a tiny extra bit of direction, so we can all move together a little bit.

Alternatively, you could inflict everyone that dies with a curse that makes them fail at everything :P.

I meant that you would have to post actions four out of five turns (or three out of four, or five out of six, or whatever, hence the tilde). However, I don't think that would fit with this game very well.

Alternatively, you could inflict everyone that dies with a curse that makes them fail at everything :P.

What about when we post an action, you can point out something that happened before in the timeline that led us here AKA
