A Munchausen "Game"

A Game is a page, linked from the location/setting which contains all the linking text, incidental roleplaying and character introductions for the players involved in that particular game.

Starting a "Game" page

It usually starts with character introductions as they enter the location/setting and take a seat at the table/bar/moat/object of gathering. The first person to make an entry on a Game page is usually the person who designed the location/setting, but if the game is set in an existing location, then the person who is organising the game starts.

The first poster should not specify how many seats there are around the table, in case there are late arrivals.

As Wiki is retroactively editable - players who arrive late can (and should) edit the Game page so that they appear in time to hear all the stories in the game, otherwise they can't really vote on them all, can they?

Note please create a link to a new game on the Current Games page so it can be found easily.

Adding to a "Game" page

When a question has been asked on the Game page and a player starts their story, they should create a new heading, and a brief descriptive paragraph with a link to their actual story page.

After they have finished their story (with all the wagers and whatnot having been played out on the story page, and all digressions being linked off that story page), then the other players should add their comments on the story back on the Game page.

After suitable congratulations on a story well told, the storyteller can then ask her question of the next player.

Finishing a "Game" page

Once all stories have been told, it is up to the first writer of the Game page to ask her fellow players to vote on whose story was best. This is a simple tally.

The winner writes a suitable acceptance and the page is ended with a horizontal rule (that's four hyphens) and a link back to the location/setting
