Well, here's a game thread I came up with yesterday but didn't post. It's very story-driven and loose at the same time.

Storyline

The last European Neolithic culture, divided by religious belief, fell into civil war when the shaman in control of the area was murdered in public. Now, the three social classes- hunters who worship the Deer, fishers who worship the Bear and agrians (farmers) who worship the Bird.

Class Descriptions

Shaman's Spirit

When the shaman (in thread context, me) was killed, he became this class. The only way someone else can become the Shaman's Spirit is for someone to be commisioned to it until I return to the thread. My role as the Shaman's Spirit is to make sure everyone is following the rules.

Hunter

Hunters are the best at offensive item use and worship the Deer. Hunters are powerful with weapons, but it isn't that exact way with barehanded combat.

Fisher

Fishers are the most mentally skilled and the best at using non-offensive items and are worshippers of the Bear. They can still fight with weapons, but tend to use long-range weapons like bows and slings rather than maces or axes. They are also the most skilled in fistfights.

Agrians

Agrians are the keystone class, as they provide the majority of the area's food and supplies. They need to be mortally wounded twice to die, which they believe comes from their worship of the Bird. They are also the best at magic, which they can cast one spell of their choosing of.

I recommend setting up a friend request for easier PMs. This is optional, but I don't think everyone who wants to play having to go to my page is convenient.

Rules

-The game ends when the thread is locked, so stay on topic.
-You are required to make your own weapons, but they have to be realistic, considering how this is the Stone Age. A spear made of stone or wood would work, but anything explosive or any kind of gun wouldn't work. If you make an unrealistic weapon and either I or the temporary Shaman's Spirit catch you, it's taken from you.
-When you join, PM me saying whether you are a hunter, fisher or agrian. Don't announce it to everyone until you are killed.
-If you kill someone of the same class, you are dead.
-If you don't eat/drink at least once every 5 pages, you are dead.
-If you are killed, you are (obviously) dead.

Have fun with this game!

OK, our first player! What will you do first? Will you...

-make a weapon or tool?
-stake a claim of area to live?
-meet human needs (eat, drink, etc.)?

You mean you don't get the storyline or you think this is a radically different kind of forum game?

I'll give it a try, not following much of the gameplay however.

I like the overall idea. I just can't take playing another forum game right now.

I'll look into it in a couple of weeks if its still around.

That's OK. In a couple weeks, the kids will be out of school and I can take some more time to be on the forums.

Why do the tags say troll?
