Choose Your Path

[Captain Del]

This is a very popular game on numerous other forums and sites that has been played for a number of years, and I've been meaning to try it out here. With the reopening of the activities forum, I'm gonna give it a go.

In the game "Choose Your Path," you will be given a miniature story line, where you, the participants, are the protagonist. You will be told a little foreword, and then you will be presented with 3 options based on the story. Based on these options, you will post the option that you would like to see follow through, and preferably why, so you can convince others as to how you want the story to go. The option that receives the most votes will be chosen to progress the story.

For example, Del says:

You see a bottle of rum up a tree. Do you:

A. Climb up the tree using your bare hands.
B. Burn the tree to the ground to save you from back pains.
C. Who needs the rum? Way to much work for me.

Because the majority of the posters chose option B, option B will then be used to progress the story.

The story will be run by myself, and myself alone, so we can keep things fair and organized. (Plus me being active on the forums is an understatement, so don't worry about me slacking.) I will usually wait until 3 posts have been made to continue the story - in the event of a draw with the first 3 posts, I will wait until one option gets the lead.

Try to keep the atmosphere of the story alive by using actual reasons behind your answers - it'll be more fun for us all if you surround yourself in the story! And, of course, remember to follow all of POF's guidelines, and do not use this thread for chatter other than discussing the options for the story.

Arr ya ready mates? Let's begin!

You are sitting in the King's Arm on Tortuga by yourself, though the room is filled with all sorts of lively, drunken conversation. As you sit at the bar with your half-full bottle of spiced rum, you see in the reflection of the glass of your bottle a shady character with his hat tipped over his brow, sitting by himself. Do you:

A. Buy the man a drink, making sure the good ole bartender delivers it with your regards.
B. Ignore him. He seems like trouble, and a pirate doesn't need more trouble on his plate.
C. Waltz over and engage him in conversation! Maybe he's just lonely?
