Generally, I get the sense that people are playing just for the habit of it, and that the degree of originality and fun has fallen to a lacklustre level. If anyone out there has any ideas on new, original and funny games, by all means post the ideas here.

You will then make suggestions as to what the text should be.

Important: Just as in the Guessing Game, the objective is not to find the correct text, but to be funny.

I suggest that the next RotC have a 10 word rule. There was one like that at the old RT back when I first found it and I must say, players have a lot more control over the story that way, but it still leaves lots of possibilities for others to derail it. This means the story makes a bit more sense, which is not necessarily a bad thing, even though I know RotC is about nonsense. A little sense can be really fertile ground for a lot of nonsense

Here is that story now, for your amusement.
======
It all started in a very dark place where Gauldoth
went into a weird state of mind and started going
nuts about world peace and order so I locked myself
in my aunt's umbrella. Unfortunately, the great hero known as
Solymr cast Chain Lightning, dissolving the umbrella and the rest
of the zombies started drinking all of Waerjak’s good mead.

Then as the Zombies drunk the mead Waerjack ran away
so far he found a place the locals called Enroth
and start finding more mead to drink. Unfortunately, he kicked
a turtle in the belly and had great pains in
the gut. Turtle fluid gushed out and Waerjak got curious
So Waerjack thought and said to himself "I want war"
So he wrote a letter to Gauldoth and Emilia saying --
But the turtles were out on the Gold Sea drinking
loveable pink mead with the furry little ewoks from hell
and trying to overcome their fear of bratwurst, so Emilia
dug a deep hole to bury the spotted turtle eggs.

Then a dozen Black Dragons swooped over her head and
[ignore the dragons and worry about her new problem: zits.]
She was allergic to reptiles, she should have known that.
So she, the teenage queen, ran home and applied cream.
After weeks of using cream her face became a dragon
that ran fast to the city of the fireflies where
a water elemental was wreaking havoc. Meanwhile the faceless queen
was hypnotized by flickering lights, causing her to become disoriented

So, she went to seek her old friend Solmyr but
the magical blood of Sea Monsters slayed by Tawni Balfour
turned into a potion of magical tree sap and Tarnum
patched holes in his boat caused by Emilia's temper tantrum
then sailed the boat using the poodles as sails and
a crocodile as the rudder, guiding the boat over waves
of Soylent Green. The waves screaming drove Emilia insane and
he picked up Gauldoth and threw him into her purse
then she went shopping for tomatoes, asparagus and Brussels sprouts.
Gauldoth was knocked unconscious when her change hit his head.

Luckily, it was all paper money so he only suffered
a minor concussion. Meanwhile, in Spazzmaticus’ throne room, a Megadragon
was trying to fit his huge tail into Spazz's royal
chamberpot. Spazz looked him in the eye and said, "You
had better do your "business" someplace else, my scaly friend!"
Then he called his guards and an army of warlocks.
The Megadragon swished his tail and they all went flying
into the moat, right before a Wand of Lightning was
used to stir the cauldron of Soylent Green and vegetables.

Halfway trough the waves, Waerjak has suffered major seasickness; Emilia
took the veil off her disfigured face and told him
she loved him and kissed him on the lips and
her face went beautiful again. Waerjak continued vomiting which polluted
the water. However Waerjack also liked Emilia so they married
thus allying their two countries, and they had fourteen kids.

Unfortunately the assassin Mezisto poisoned there kids and they died.
Waerjak was upset and went back to drinking mead but he
ran into his old drinking buddy, Crag Hack, and they
frolicked into the night with a final destination of the
flag ship of Tawni Balfour’s pirate fleet, where they planned:
steal all the turtle mead to sell. Their ship blasted
huge meatballs shaped like pomegranates into the depths of the
Golden Sea, which slowly started getting a strange pinkish color.

A giant Sea Monster came up to investigate, flanked by
a magenta whale and a magical cyan dolphin that could
turn wood into butter and steel into grape jelly. They
swam solemnly to meet Waerjack, the whale grinning as it
ate a few innocent monkeys from the delicious table of
Wegg and Yog, who swung down from the tree tops.

Then the Barbarians present decided that they needed a good
Dung Beetle Pie a la mode with kumquats on top
and orc's liver as the main course, with behemoth's dung.
However Emilia said to Waerjack that they wanted to have
an azure dragon pet named "Waerjie". So Emilia pulled Gauldoth
and kissed him. Waerjack was jealous so he punched Gauldoth.
But his fist went through Gauldoth bones and hit a
little innocent girl, killing her instantly. Then the Black Dragons
started to throw clawfulls of popcorn on the proceedings, which…
Which they ate while watching Heroes – The Movie, Part one
and laughed so hard that their tentacles started burning but…
But Gauldoth was offended and went to a dark place
then dissolved into a quivering mass of Evil Eye bait.

However, five-handed Cyclopes approached from nowhere sniffing the remains and debating with each other whether or not they should
use them to appease their tribe's dwarf god or just
get a big loaf of wheat bread and eat them.
Gauldoth intervened trying to raise the dragon, but all he
managed to do was get thrown into a Titan’s bathtub
by the poor dragon's desperate grandmother, a Titaness herself, so
you can imagine how her formerly perky parts now drooped.
And she accidentally pulled the plug of the tub, so
with a rapid whirlpool, they all went down the drain.

Then Solmyr dove after them with a bungee cord around
the pointiest point of its pointy pony tail, which pointed
way up into the air and down towards the ground.
However, Solymr managed to save Emilia and Waerjie and something
undefined that seemed half Gauldoth, but half corpse, of course,
so the four heroes came flying out of the drain
through the dragon's grandmother's roof and into a fluffy cloud.
[of a rare but highly toxic gas which smelled of …]
They waved at the Lincoln as it flew past, and
continued their metaphysical journey into the celestial heavens , where they
saw the little innocent girl that Waerjack had accidentally punched
and she was mercilessly torturing an innocent Archangel with a
toothpick and a HUGE bag of marshmallows, along with a
waspwort, who was preparing the salad, and an Evil Sorceress.
The Evil Sorceress waved her hands and turned bright chartreuse
by casting Implosion on both the Waspwort and the salad.

With random vegetables flying everywhere, the heroes cried "Lettuce Pray"
and so they did, Amen! Finally, when the Thunderbirds arrived
flying downwards towards the vegetable sauce, that boiled with an
eerie light and a rancid smell like rotten eggs, they
flew the whole foul concoction away to Spazzmaticus' royal palace.

Spazz was, of course, very pleased with the chaotic mess
but not with those Barbaric Birds barging his birthday bash.
So he gave a command to his scaly allies to
light the candles on his cake, but instead they burned
a hole in the floor. Then Spazz decided that {he}
would rather have foul salad than birthday cake any day.
So he chopped up a section of Erutan’s forest for
a sacrifice to the birthday god and hope for something:
that {he} will wage war on all countries of Axeoth, which
angered Erutan so he called gargantuans and destroyed the
stockpile of new lutes and flutes for Agraynel and Aeris,
who channelled Kilgor and declared war on the world, accidentally,
but everyone escaped through convenient portals into another new world.

The End!

What we need is more people that understand that understand the english language better and/or have a sense of rhyme.

[Kalah]

When the next RotC comes, do you think we should stick with traditions, posting random words, or should we use the different "association game" structure?

(He hee ... I was reading the game thread and remembered that old football game of mine ... )

[wimfrits]

Something more solid storywise would be nice, so I'm in favor of a 10 word rule.

My personal favorite 'game' was Spells: counter attack! But I don't think that thread survived the forum move.

[ThunderTitan]

Yeah, RotC has a more interesting final result imo.

People just need to learn to try to take into account the whole sentence and not just the word before their post...

[Kalah]

... hint that you wanna have 'em more often, much?

[ThunderTitan]

Well there's really little else to do around here...

[Kalah]

Maybe, but the same game over and over? Nobody has any new ideas?

[ThunderTitan]

Forget new ideas, what we need is good ideas.

[Corribus]

How about a game where we discuss topics that actually have some potential to engage our minds, like politics, religion or philosophy?

Oh, right. Outlawed.

Hmmm... how about a game where we post random words and make funny-sounding but grammatically incorrect sentences??

[Kalah]

The RotC, you mean?

[ThunderTitan]

How about a game where we discuss topics that actually have some potential to engage our minds, like politics, religion or philosophy?

Yeah, discussing those things on the internet always leads to engaging the mind... just look at youtube comments...

[Kalah]

Hey, I did ask the question ... for the next "spammer", which kind you wanted.
