((So when you say my actions are attempts, and theirs are outcomes, how do you want to me to word things? Because normally GM's write in the tense of what is happening, not what is being attempted, so I'm confused on how to do this.

Also, go ahead without me if I take too long on stuff.))
((I suppose this is all entirely vague and confusing. Which is the best part about it.

You can write what you would like to have the scenario be, and I will roll to see what happens. Think of it as describing what the universe is attempting to actualize. Does that make sense?))

You post something that happens, like I do, and then it's rolled to determine what the first action would be like... Take my actions, once Ives put up something that has HAPPENED, the GM will roll to see what you would have said in a normal RTD, is this right?)

For you, yes. He has a special mechanic so that the environment can be directly altered.

So...

Basically, the way it works is that everyone is BSing the "results", and I'm the pimp-hand smacking them back into reality?

In theory, of course.

Sort of I guess, alright, here's my idea of it:
We start off in a basic landscape, in this situation, a alien planet full of life, and then we post what happened from a yet to be decided action that the GM will construct, and as such in doing that we add flavour to the blank slate we have, we could make it that we cep counter a fire breatheing sparkle dragon while the GM rolls to decide the action that caused it, sort of like if the roles were switched around, the GM acts for all the players, and the players act as separate GM's

Ok, I think I've got it now.
I'll wait until the turn passes, and then become an acting force, so I've got some fresher material to work with.

I spot a sword lieing in a puddle on the ground in an underground tunnel.
(5) You try to feel around in the dark tunnel for something useful.

You cause a species to go extinct.
(4) Furious at the recent assault of the snake-men on the dog-men, you attempt a raid the last remaining snake-man camp.

I cradle the precious.
(4) You just want a snuggle buddy.

You go for the cave and smell some delicious cooked organic matter, your bugs release so much pheremones that if there was another hive somewhere around here, there would be a cloud of buzzing insects, sadly not.

As you keep looking around, you see a forest around, with that much matter, food wouldn't be a problem for months!

You find a obiously dangrous monster skulking around but before it can see you you dive in for the kill, eating away at its flesh, it's screams drowned out by th infernal buzzing around it until its reduced to a mere skeleton, some drones still gnawing away at its bones, from outside view, you would look bloated but this is just regurgitated biomass for futrure eating
(4) The first head was in control. (2) You decide you want to keep your hoard under control, and keep them away from things that might stimulate them, such as food and other insects.

The plant monster eats you, and you spend the next twenty years trapped inside it's stomach, eating other devoured beings to survive.

as you slowly fly down, you begin to slow down, almost in a zen like state, slowly calming your frenzied insects to prevent losing yourself in this flood of minds.
When you get back on the ground, you seems to melt as all of these small creatures begin eating the surrounding area, building what seems to be a hive.
As you fly along, you sense a presence, another hive, seemingly trying to use the mental equivalent of pathetic flailing to get past your defences, this only serves to alert you to the hives presence, and you know exactly where it is.

You indeed find your snuggle buddy of years past, but the reunion is... Strange.

I turn into a steel fluffy wambler with fangs and horns and also gain fire attack and web spinning.

(2) You still just want to be a normal elephant
I end up being fused with a gigantic plant monster.
The plant monster eats you, and you spend the next twenty years trapped inside it's stomach, eating other devoured beings to survive.
(4) Elep Par is indeed eaten, in his true form of a void elephant, by a gigantic plant monster. He spends the next twenty years there, and survives off of a diet of frightened dwarves who happen to join him in his prison. Some of them mumbled something about a murdered boat, which Elep Par ignored as he cheerfully gored and ate them.

(1) The first head is in control. (4) You try desperately hard this time to control your insects, knowing you are close to losing them, and yourself.

You indeed find your snuggle buddy of years past, but the reunion is... Strange.
(3) You had wanted to find a new snuggle buddy.

I turn into a steel fluffy wambler with fangs and horns and also gain fire attack and web spinning.
(4) You prayed to the gods for a more menacing form.

You trip.
(4) You had seen a metal disc flying towards your head, about to decapitate you. You tried running.
