Player 1: evil_d
Player 2: Drexle

3 more Players.

I'll be third.

This sounds interesting. Count me in as #4.

(But I hope I die so I don't have to take over this thing. This "Game Master" is obviously unemployed or manic to have enough time to map this whole thing out. Then again, I once wrote a script to randomly generate the brackets for a comedy cup. Say, that reminds me-it's about time to start up the cup again. That is, if anyone still cares about the comic cup. What was the point of this parenthetical anyway? I don't remember. I suppose I should just wrap this up. So I will. Now. The end. Period.)

Sounds interesting, but count me out.

Ooooooo how original, he seems to be using the same beginning of that Brad game. (Or is it just me?)

I'll listen.

(I don't think this is quite the same opening as that other CYOA game about a guy named Brad that starts with him waking up. I'd be disappointed if it were.)

Let's find out who it is.

Even if I die, at least everyone else will know who they're avoiding.

I turn on the light.

Player 2, The Game is yours.

You may choose to either start from where Player 1 left off (the comic previous to Player 1's death), start from where your decision would have first differed from Player 1's, or start from the beginning.

Wherever you choose to begin, please post the relevant comic, followed by your decision.

In the rules section you said there is only "one way to Beat the Game" though you didn't say how, is this going to be one of those crappy things that never end? Everyone's going to die unless they "Beat the Game" which they can't do because they don't know how to.

Player 2, please hold.

Posit to the Players: There is an alternative to the revolving Player format. Six threads could be set up, one for each Player. Each Player's move count would be incremented for every decision they make. The Player who defeats The Game in the least number of moves is declared Victor.

This version of The Game would allow each Player to begin The Game immediately. However, it would separate the Players, and each Player's thread could not be viewed by other Players.

With the current Revolving Players Version, the wait to play is lengthy, but the Players can converse about The Game. With the latter, each Player will be playing continuously, but alone, and will not have the ability to converse, or learn from the others' mistakes. Also, the latter will require faith that each Player won't enter any Player's thread other than their own.

I will leave it up to the Players. A simple majority will decide it. (In the event of a tie, the format will go unchanged.) Would you rather:

• Stick with the Revolving Players Version, or
• Switch to the Individual Games Version?

I'd rather switch to individual games version.
but it would take up alot of room on the comic compititions page.

I think that multiple threads would be the way to go, for sure. And considering that I was going to start "from the beginning" anyways, it works.

I'd prefer to continue with the revolving players version. I think it's easier to implement. I don't mind the wait (but then, I guess that's easy for me to say).

I'm with evil_d. I'd rather stay with this version.

Stay.

Yes, the multiple thread idea is jobby.

I Turn on the Light and look now.

FWIW, I vote stay

Player 3, The Game is yours.

In good adventure games, the consequences of each action are a logical progression of the choice made. Being inexplicably shot for turning on the light is, quite frankly, a bit crap.

70472I'll listen.

I just realised that leads to this.....
(i'm very stupid)

I'll leave the light off and try to bugger away.

Yeah, but you didn't know that there was someone trying to do the shootery until you had committed to the choice. If there was some kind of clue that there may have been someone in the room before the decision to switch on the light was made, it would have been a lot fairer.

ooh the bathroom! the bathroom!

70761

I'll keep wetting myself.

I'll take this opportunity to realize my lifelong dream of masturbating in a pitch black room while handcuffed by kidnappers.

70948

take off ze blindfold.

Apologies for the delay.

71257

i'll ask him to say this is CNN.

71438

Player 4, The Game is yours.

I'll take the seemingly safe option:

--Leave the blindfold on and ask why you've been kidnapped................................

71655

Once again, I'll take the seemingly safe option...

Fulfill your lifelong dream of masturbating while molten lava is poured on you

that's safe?
that's how I died only I wasn't masturbating.

71786

Player 5, The Game is yours.

Wait, molten lava is bad? I love molten lava with caramel. No, wait--I was thinking of ice cream, not lava. Oops.

70855

Look for something to defend myself with. Let's see if we can avoid death by lava.
