Two Options
« on: April 12, 2007, 12:30:55 AM »
This game is infernal. Simple and infernal.

The format is as follows, easy to catch, etc.:

1: "You're in a situation, you have two options:

2: Either you do alternative A or you do alternative B.

3: Of course it'd be better if you did A (or B, depending on which is actually better), but if you did do B (or A), you've got two options."

Easy enough? Everyone does one cycle. 3, 1, 2.

---

You're in a pitch-black room. You are likely to be eaten by grue. (the set-up, number one)

You have two options:

Either you leave the room or stay in the room. (options, number two)

(Next one posts a solution (i.e. number three) and their own set-up and option. The story must be continuous, i.e. connected to previous cycles.)

(Damn, forgot to add the format:)

Of course, it'd be better if you lit the torch, but if you decide to ready the anti-grue spray, you've got two options:

Either the can is empty or it's full.

Of course, it'd be better if the can was full, but if it's empty, you have two options:

Either you pull out your Luger or your hunting knife.
Music is the key to the heart.

"Once art to me was something far off, unfathomable and unreachable... But I discovered that the real essence of art was not something high up and far off, it was right inside my ordinary daily self. If a musician wants to be a fine artist, he must first become a finer person. A work of art is the expression of a person's whole personality, sensibility, and ability." -Shinichi Suzuki

Either you stab the thing or you run away.

Of course, it'd be better if you walked to the next room, but if you decide to laugh like a maniac you have two options:

Either you stand over the grue laughing until it recovers and gets back up, or you laugh from a safer distance.

Of course, it'd be better if you did it from a safe distance, but if you stand on top of it while laughing, you have two options:

Either it attacks you when it recovers or it plays dead and hopes you go away.

Either it you defeat it in honorable combat or challenge it to a game of riddles.

Of course the game of riddles would be better (grues are horribly stupid and think riddles are an egg-based food stuff) but you challenge it to "honourable" combat. You have two options:

Kick it in the groin or point behind it yelling "what's that" and kick it in the back

Kick is obviously better, so kick in the groin is the choice you make:

Guy you kicked kicks you back, or crumples over dead.

Of course it'd be better if the grue'd die then, but if he kicks back you've got two options:

Either you resist the kick or you fall to the ground, writhing in pain.

Either you roll away across the floor or you try to kick upward to knock the grue over.
