Forums - General Discussion - The Bob Game

Saw this somewhere else.

Imagine a man named Bob. He is standing, all alone, on a perfectly flat ground made of nothing in particular. This ground extends infinitely in all directions. Above him is a nothing-in-particular sky.

The first post will be an attempt to kill Bob. You do this by summoning something. Be specific: don't just say "I summon ___.", say "I summon ___ to do ___.", unless it's obvious what you want it to do. If it's obvious, explaining it ruins the fun. (For example, if someone summons Geek Squad, then summoning layoffs would be obvious.)

The next post will try to save Bob by counteracting the first post. You do this by summoning something else, be specific here also. You can give Bob something to use and tell him what to do with it.

The next post will also have the goal of killing Bob--by counteracting the measure previously taken to save him. Then the next post tries to counteract that, then the next post tries to counteract that...

Note that Bob WANTS to live. Killing attempts cannot influence that. No one can directly control him, but people trying to save him can instruct him on how to use something towards his best interests.

I'll start:

I summon a zombie to eat Bob's brains.

I summon the powerful Gods of Mt. Olympous to completely wrest bob and the world of this rotting corpse catastrophe.

I give Bob my bow, and my axe.



I thought this was gonna be a thread about that one DS game...



Anyways, I give Bob his own Zombie.



Bob puts on his robe and wizard hat.



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
