im loving your videos Dakota great stuff

Thx SUNGOD. This was another one we shot to use for lostzombies.com and I just kinda fit it in to the story we have going. Worked out ok.

SmileyPaul

can we have the next chapter? :P

DakotaYoda

I'm pretty sure I PM'd Mahatma - if not just let me know and I'll send over my answers.

Do we have currently have a tie between A and B? Looks like it to me... someone else double check that please?

Yeah, it's a tie, 3-3.

SmileyPaul

so eh.... what now :P

Mahatma coat

Yeah I got the PM Dak, but which is it A or B

Need a tiebreaker

Mahatma coat

Sorry Lads, Ye chose B when My vote was eliminated Thems the rulez

Still tho where from here, Back to A) or C)

or onwards in the eternal hunger for Human Flesh:D

DakotaYoda

I vote we restart with a new story. If someone wants to have us be the zombie instead of the survivor that is fine w/ me, but I think once we die we move on to the next story.

Micky Dolenz

yeah, once you die you are died.

Should we have a limit to how long the story is or are we happy enough with how that one went?

DakotaYoda

I'm ok w/ the way it went. At first I was hoping we'd just make it 10 posts before dying so...

I really don't have any complaints about how the first one went. Anything we can do to make them better???

ChaseThisLight

I say dead is dead as well.

I think the first round went good...can't think of any changes...and no, I don't think there should be a limit on the number of posts. Just post until it ends like this one did; unless it goes on and on and we don't die, then I guess we should end it at some point.

DakotaYoda

I'd like to think the writers will get a bit more devious as the story goes on longer and longer.... I know I did.

He said devious, not disturbing.

DakotaYoda

Whoa.... and then things got weird.

wavehopper1

Well done, people! Enjoyed that.

I only have one small suggestion - whoever starts the next one, just change the starting location to not being the city centre this time. I noticed that we didn't actually "move" very far, undestandable because we kept bumping into those gosh-darn critters at every corner...

Micky Dolenz

Yeah, that would be my only gripe. It took a few turns to make it out of the building so was a bit slow.

Out of interest, how much time had passed in that story and how many story telling posts were there?

DakotaYoda

Yep. Good suggestions. And there are differences in writers - some like to deal w/ more general questions and some like to focus on specific interactions. I'm ok w/ both and they give a different flavor to the story.

I do think covering more ground per post would not be a bad thing. Only a day or so passed in our current one, I think... We should try to time stamp each story post - have the writer indicate what time the post starts and what time it ends, in-story time that is....

ChaseThisLight

There were 14 chapters in this round.

And yeah, I think moving along more would be good...I thought my last chapter, with the option that was chosen, would take us to that night, or even the next morning, but I guess it boils down to the differences in the writers, like Dakota said.

SUNGOD

im going to throw mine up now as im sure it will be start again and might not be on boards over weekend
hope thats ok

Mahatma coat

Sorry bout that folks, but ye did vote for Certain Death

I have to say that was fun to write, I was hopin we might get zombified for a few chapters tho

SmileyPaul

I'd say that's up for the writer to decide, really. Like in the last one, you write something, then we all follow it - example, last story someone said the character had a girlfriend and brother, and it was something we all kept to as we wrote more.

SmileyPaul

I'm sorry I haven't posted yet been really busy this weekend, Ill do it tomorrow morning in college.... nothing better to do there anyways :P

Wondering if we should change the title of the Story thread to include the page with the new opening passage - like

ACTIVE STORY : Choose Your Own Adventure - (new story page 8)

Saves people having to wade backwards to find the start?

Sorry, we were meant to split the thread. will do so now.

Micky Dolenz

Ok, I have split the thread. I have made an archive thread, where all stories will go when they conclude. This thread is locked.

I took the new story and made a new thread for it.

Sticky archive thread here
and

The current story here.
