You know how to do it! None posted a new game so here goes...
How to play:
Each person, the very first time they post in the thread, has to declare if they are good, or if they are evil. Once you declare a side, you stay with that side the entire time. No changing sides.
Each time you post, you add at least a line or two to the story, but not more than a few lines or a short paragraph. Then you say what the result of your post is.
Each post is worth one point. If you are on the side of good, you add one point to the total. If you are on the side of evil, you subtract one point.
The game begins with a score of 50. If the good side gets the score to 75, they win (the ship reaches port) , and the game is over. If the bad side gets the score to 25, they win ( the ship sinks) and the game is over.
If there are any questions in the ruling of the posts, I will (as the OP) make the final decision.
Keep your posts within the guidelines of the forum rules. I.E. no trolling, flaming, double-posting, and only PG rated.
EXAMPLE HOW TO PLAY:
The first person who posts declares themself as "Good". They post something like this:
"I find them floundering. I can't help much, but give them a spare bilge pump to help them keep the water out of the ship."
Plus one to the score.
Score is now 51.
The next person also declares themself as "Good" and posts:
"Following behind (Whoever just posted) I give the Newlife 5 yards of sailcloth, and point them in the direction of the nearest island that has fresh water supply."
Plus one to the score.
Score is now 52.
Another poster comes in and declares themself as "Evil" and posts:
" My ship is moored at the island and refuses them passage or even allow them to land for the water. I send them packing."
Minus one to the score.
Score is now 51.
The Story to start with:
The Colony ship, Newlife, bound to the Americas with a full crew of 17 hands and 91 colonists is caught in a hurricane and driven way off course to the south. It ends up lost somewhere in the Caribbean, badly damaged. The sails are torn, one mast is totally destroyed and a second one is damaged. Food and water are running low.
The colonists are relatively poor folks who have spent most of their life savings on outfitting the ship for the voyage, and the few tools and other supplies that they could bring with them in order to establish a foothold colony and a new life.
The ship, Newlife, is only lightly armed, and is privately owned. It's apparent that the ship was over burdened and carries too much weight.
The Current score is 50!
I declare myself as "Good"!
