Well, it's not as lame as it sounds.
Basically, it will be users making characters for themselves with unique characteristics and backstories, abilities etc; then I narrate them through a dynamic storyline, as the characters make choices and take actions that may affect the eventual outcome of the story. Dungeons and Dragons, this is not. No dice in this, fight scenes will be cinematic only. More details if people are actually interested. Vote in the poll whether you like the idea and would participate.

That sounds interesting, so are you saying, we come up with a character which we make the decisions for, and you write the story?

Im more than happy to be apart of it anyways.

Here is the msn convo where everything that we know about this right now originated. Should I have shortened it and just taken out parts that were useful? Maybe. lolz.

Jesus - My net will shut down at any moment. says:
*im thinking of starting a text adventure type thing
*where users make their own character
*and i narrate them through a story, and they make decisions and choices
(F)¤ Émìlíå ¤ ∞ ƸӜƷ says:
*oh wow
*that's a lot of work
Jesus - My net will shut down at any moment. says:
*but it has the potential to be a lot of fun
*they can do whatever they want
(F)¤ Émìlíå ¤ ∞ ƸӜƷ says:
*yeah
*how are you going to do it?
Jesus - My net will shut down at any moment. says:
*well
*thats the thing
*it would take, like sub threads and **** just to organise
*and we dont even know if it will be popular yet
*a poll!
(F)¤ Émìlíå ¤ ∞ ƸӜƷ says:
*you want to do it on spec?
Jesus - My net will shut down at any moment. says:
*i shall present the idea
*yeah
*where else?
(F)¤ Émìlíå ¤ ∞ ƸӜƷ says:
*I had no idea
Jesus - My net will shut down at any moment. says:
*well im not going to make a whole new forum if i can use it to add another layer of aweosme to spec
(F)¤ Émìlíå ¤ ∞ ƸӜƷ says:
*yeah
*I don't know how you want to do this though
Jesus - My net will shut down at any moment. says:
*ill just do a thread with a poll first
*to see if anyones even interested
*then go from there
(F)¤ Émìlíå ¤ ∞ ƸӜƷ says:
*ok
*are you writing it up now?
Jesus - My net will shut down at any moment. says:
*just finished
*good timing
*lol
*literally the second i pressed send
(F)¤ Émìlíå ¤ ∞ ƸӜƷ says:
*hahhahaha
*I need more details
Jesus - My net will shut down at any moment. says:
*ok, ill do another post when we have moar votes
(F)¤ Émìlíå ¤ ∞ ƸӜƷ says:
*I kind of need to know, seeing as I am admin. Give me an idea about what you want to do
Jesus - My net will shut down at any moment. says:
*ok
(F)¤ Émìlíå ¤ ∞ ƸӜƷ says:
*the forum would need to be set up in a certain way
Jesus - My net will shut down at any moment. says:
*this may be a bit presumptious on my part, but here goes. it would go in the same section as heroes as newerth, with sub sections for character registration and creation, metaplot brainstorming, the actual story, lore, and general rules and guidelines
(F)¤ Émìlíå ¤ ∞ ƸӜƷ says:
*It would go in it's own section
Jesus - My net will shut down at any moment. says:
*this is all presuming anyone wants to do it
*i mean in the same way as heroes of newerth
(F)¤ Émìlíå ¤ ∞ ƸӜƷ says:
*yeah
*so you go through the story. What does the person do?
Jesus - My net will shut down at any moment. says:
*i narrate the setting and a bit of the plot, the various people around etc
*then the players decide what to do next
*do they talk to the people around or enter a new area, or slaughter everyone
(F)¤ Émìlíå ¤ ∞ ƸӜƷ says:
*but is the first person to post affects the story, then they have to wait until you write the next bit?
Jesus - My net will shut down at any moment. says:
*yes, i thought of that as well
*im still thinking of the details and kinks
*do they have another thread where they discuss what to do? is it first come first served? or can the person posting only control their character?
(F)¤ Émìlíå ¤ ∞ ƸӜƷ says:
*hmmm
*do the characters level up or something?
Jesus - My net will shut down at any moment. says:
*no, definately not
*exp would just make it more complicated
*normal humans dont suddenly become more awesome
(F)¤ Émìlíå ¤ ∞ ƸӜƷ says:
*can they gain weapons or new skills?
Jesus - My net will shut down at any moment. says:
*yes, items or new abilities become more accessible or useful with repeated use
*like leveling up without xp, i guess
(F)¤ Émìlíå ¤ ∞ ƸӜƷ says:
*Yeah
*I have a few ideas swimming in my head now Razz
*About how to lay it out
*I was thinking
*To make it easy for you to write the story, people can make their character up from a selection of abilities and traits
*If anyone can do anything, then it get complicated
Jesus - My net will shut down at any moment. says:
*yeah
*give a template for character creation
(F)¤ Émìlíå ¤ ∞ ƸӜƷ says:
*That's what I was thinking
*Their appearance they can make as they like
*the other stuff they have to choose from
*what kind of genre are you thinking?
*duuuuuuude
Jesus - My net will shut down at any moment. says:
*sorry
*was eating dinner
(F)¤ Émìlíå ¤ ∞ ƸӜƷ says:
*ah ok
Jesus - My net will shut down at any moment. says:
*um
*modern
*sci fi
*not space ships
(F)¤ Émìlíå ¤ ∞ ƸӜƷ says:
*like halo?
Jesus - My net will shut down at any moment. says:
*not really
*modern technology, high tech squad for dangerous missions
*guns
(F)¤ Émìlíå ¤ ∞ ƸӜƷ says:
*that makes it a little hard
*It terms of character creation and abilities
Jesus - My net will shut down at any moment. says:
*well its not limited
*i mean
(F)¤ Émìlíå ¤ ∞ ƸӜƷ says:
*give me an example
Jesus - My net will shut down at any moment. says:
*a knife expert, master escape artist, doesnt need guns to get in and out before the target even realises they're dead
*and im not ruling out paranormal powers
(F)¤ Émìlíå ¤ ∞ ƸӜƷ says:
*oh ok
*I have to go
Jesus - My net will shut down at any moment. says:
*awww
(F)¤ Émìlíå ¤ ∞ ƸӜƷ says:
