Just an idea for all of you obsessive game players looking for something to do while you wait for the resources you need to conquer the Universe...
Write a Pulitzer-Prize winning novel, co-authored by the entire Settlers Online community.
THE RULES...
(a) Anybody can add to the story BUT you can only write three sentences at a time.
(b) You may post as often as you like BUT you can never post twice in a row (i.e. someone else must post before you go again)
(c) Keep it clean - follow the forum guidelines to the letter (especially no Welsh jokes and especially x 2 no jokes about sheep)
(d) Stick to the plot
OK, for all you subversives out there - try to keep some sort of plot going.
OK, subversives, I'll rephrase that... sub-plots are OK, flash backs, flash forwards, even flash sideways are OK. Just try to keep to the same universe.
I'll start...
CHAPTER ONE
Ardlefast the Unblemished (Dragon Slayer, Mage of the Nine Mysteries, Counsellor of Kings, Palms read by Appointment (Tuesdays and Fridays only)), clattered into the courtyard of Castle Sunrise and leapt from the saddle of Gnometrampler, his trusty war-mule. "Awake, faithful Smegsniff, my trusty companion in adversity, we are called to the High King's Council and we must make haste", he cried. Smegsniff mumbled an obscene dwarfish curse, made an elaborate, obscene dwarfish gesture, rolled over in his obscene dwarfish bedroll and began to snore.
