+ | Go back to the [[start]] page. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Glossary ===== | ||
+ | **A Game** - a page, linked from the [[location/ | ||
+ | **A Round** - a new storyteller begins a story by creating a [[page]] for the story with a link in the [[game]] page.\\ | ||
+ | **A Turn** - a part of the story is written on the page by the current storyteller. | ||
+ | **Wagee** - a Player who has made a wager against the current storyteller.\\ | ||
+ | **Player** - a Reader not currently telling a story, but with a [[character]] in the [[location/ | ||
+ | **Reader** - someone browsing the site and not currently telling a story.\\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Pre-Game ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | * A player chooses a genre they wish to write in. | ||
+ | * To set the [[location/ | ||
+ | * A new [[game]] page must be created within that [[location/ | ||
+ | * To arrive at the location a player must introduce their [[character]] and describe themselves entering the location and sitting down. They do this on the [[game]]' | ||
+ | * Players must choose a [[character]] that fits the genre and is capable of telling stories. | ||
+ | * Seating is important, as the rounds proceed clockwise from the player who set the location (the player who created the setting) and started the [[game]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Beginning a round ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | * The round begins when the previous storyteller (or if at the start of the [[game]], the player who created the [[location/ | ||
+ | * The questions should not be more than three sentences and not too complicated. See the [[questions section]] for ideas. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== General Story Rules ===== | ||
+ | * The story should be in-genre. | ||
+ | * The stories should be first-person narratives. | ||
+ | * The storyteller herself is presumed to be above average in just about everything - but not to have extraordinary abilities. But this is only a suggestion. | ||
+ | * The storyteller may have up to one companion with an extraordinary ability. | ||
+ | * The storyteller should post story segments at regular intervals. The time between one storyteller posting and the next storyteller posting is called a turn. | ||
+ | * A story segment should consist of around 3-5 paragraphs. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Finishing a story ===== | ||
+ | There are several ways a storyteller may finish her story :- | ||
+ | * By fulfilling the question initially posed and proclaiming that her story is true and factual. | ||
+ | * By running out of spare time and prematurely ending her story. | ||
+ | * By running out of inspiration. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Of the later two options, the stories may be continued at some time in the future. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Wagers ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | * Wagers can be made up until the storyteller posts her next story segment. | ||
+ | * If multiple wagers are posted by the time the storyteller gets to edit her story page, then the longest written wager should be the winner - although the storyteller is free to include the lesser wagers if she wants. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Digressions ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | * Rather than making another wager when someone else already has (for this particular turn), a listener, if it suits the currently made wager, can ask the wagerer for a digression about their wager. | ||
+ | * If the storyteller, | ||
+ | * If a listener has made a wager, which she has been asked to digress on by another listener and the storyteller - they must digress. | ||
+ | * Only the storyteller can give permission for a digression. | ||
+ | * A digression must be a new [[page]], and in genre - but can be of any length within that page (and can lead to further digressions). | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Counter Wagers ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | * If a storyteller does not wish to include the wager - they must make a counter wager, basically coming up with reasons why the wager shouldn' | ||
+ | * Counter wagers should preferably happen before the next turn (the next story posting) otherwise it will slow the game down. | ||
+ | * There is a limit of three listener/ | ||
+ | * If the storyteller wishes to stop a wager after the CCW (counter-counter-wager) - she must challenge the listener to a duel. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Duels ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | * A Duel is fought between a storyteller and a wagee who has had her CCW rebuffed. Both the storyteller and the wagee must post a short story about the duel. One post each - of any length. Like a digression. | ||
+ | * Style, flamboyance and possibly humour are all good in a fencing (or other) duel. As is accurate depiction (or even caricature) of your opponent. | ||
+ | * Once both versions of the duel have been written, it is up to every other player in the game to read them and vote on which one is best - a poll will be set up. | ||
+ | * The winning story becomes the true event and those consequences happen. If the wagee wins, then their wager must be included in the storyteller' | ||
+ | * Note - if an opponent is maimed, killed or otherwise inconvenienced, | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Winning ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | * After all stories are told, a vote will be held (via poll) on which story and which digressions were best. | ||
+ | * The winner of the digression vote obtains the right and duty to edit the compilation of everything posted in the game that isn't a story or a digression. ie the introduction to the place, players chatting in character to each other, duels and possibly the failed wagers if so inclined. | ||
+ | * The winner of the Story competition gets to choose the next game genre, and set the location. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Post-Game ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | * Storytellers are encouraged to edit their own stories as much as possible as well. You never know, they may one day be publishable. |
