It's very simple.  The context is this.

The object of this game is to end up as the sole survivor.  In order to survive you’ll need to be clever and ruthless, you’ll need to kill all the characters on board the S.S. Craven before they kill you.

You do this by creating engaging characters and writing engaging scenes.

I think you did that Michael- maybe even I succeeded, but look where we are. Hmm...

Quoted from mcornetto Just wanted to clarify one more thing here. My character is not alive.  If you look at the tracksheet you will clearly see Captain Cornetto has a No in the alive column.  This means the character is dead.  The only character that has the ability to change this is bert and he may only use this ability on the last turn of the first round.

.
What is the ability that Bert has to resurrect you? I missed this part.

Sandra

Quoted from How to Play Dr. Bert Newcomer also has a special ability and you can decide if he gets to use it. He can resurrect one character during his first turn. However, he can only resurrect this character if he is still alive. If you think you’ll be one of the first to go and you want a second chance at life then keep Dr. Newcomer around.  Or perhaps you think differently…

Ahhh!!!!! ...

Ooohh!!!!

Eeeehh!!!...

It's gotta be Halloween!!!!

Wow! Excellent turn Gary.

Nic is up next and I hope he's flexible - with all these twists and turns - otherwise he might break and that could be rather messy.

The tracksheet has been updated and the emails have been sent.  All we gotta do now is wait.

Quoted from mcornetto All we gotta do now is wait.

I hope i didn't make you guys wait that much

I posted my part. Hope you like it.

The game has is going very well, i like it so much. Hehe -- next time Michael let's make a killer game in spaceship

Cheers guys
Nik

Way to go Nick, that was quick (and it even rhymes).   Looks like you got a little double-edged romance going on there.  Well, don't run with scissors - that's what I always say.

Next up is Yohn.  Yohn is a bit of a mystery man - introduced late and taking a late turn in the round.

I'm thinking he might be another 24hr wait situation because I haven't heard from him but you never know - he came in last minute with his description.  If he doesn't show in 24hrs we will ghostwrite him because it's too close to the end of the first round to postpone.

It was a very productive day anyway.

EDIT: Heard from Yohn.  He's on the case.

Cheers,  

Two posts after mine already, wow that's quick.  Things are moving along nicely. Sandra's got some reservations about where this is going but I think it's going fine. You're not gonna get a roadmap script when each writer has no restrictions on where they can go other than perhaps killing someone.

I have to say that keeping track is getting hard though and I'm glad you included the tracking sheet Michael.

I seem to have introduced a strange number into the story, 86. A bit like Lost maybe? lol.

Can't wait for Yohn to write his scene.

Thanks for faking my death on the boat Nic. (that's how I interpreted). lol. I'm curious with the relationship I have with Orange.

GM, interesting scene. That was funny.

I think it will be really amusing to read through this in its entirity when we're done to see how the story follows, or doesn't probably lol.

Uh oh, my character is getting some lip action...sweeeet. lol.

Such an interesting turn of events.

I think we should keep the number and someone else should use it. Since 86 means to get rid of someone or something, if we see the number, we know that danger is really close.

Sandra = It's easy to get behind if you don't check in regularly   I just got all caught up.  I enjoyed the new posts.

I want to go back just a little bit...and I'm not trying to be mean...but I rather want to add my 2 cents regarding Sandra's post in hopes that it will help.

Sandra...I think the simple object of this screenwriting exercise is to kill or be killed while developing characters...In addition scenes should somewhat connect.  I found myself cruising along on this crazy ride and practically found myself knocked out of my seat...  What you added made it hard to find a way out of that maze. I did understand a little better what you were going for AFTER you explained it...but without the insight of getting into your brain...I was completely lost.

With everyone going two directions (A, B) in their personalities, adding clones, etc.  It simply just muddied the water way too much...at least for me.  

We want to develop the characters and when our scene calls for murder...then let it be spilled...simple as that.  

~m~

I really liked GM's scene. I'm wondering why Patrick's dreaming of Sandra. What is the connection there? He must know her. Again, why do people know each other?

We're left to wonder still whether Cornetto is dead or alive even though we see him dead on the track sheet. With GM's excellent dialogue of:

Bert
It's ok, you got him. He's in my room.

We are still left to wonder. Something indeed is very strange. What on earth is happening?
