Yeesh, guys. The SPA may be dead (a move I strongly disagreed with, but meh), but you don't have to completely cut back on the fun. It's practically dead in here. :E
IIRC games were still fair game, so let's revive one of the less-spammy ones, one I remember rather fondly. The rules of the game are rather simple: I'm going to start off with a sentence.The next poster would then add on to the story with a sentence starting with "unfortunately". The poster after that would reverse the situation, starting a sentence with "fortunately". And then "unfortunately" again, and so on and so forth ad infinitum.
Exampli Grata:
"DarkWarrior was walking down a hallway one day."
"Unfortunately, he forgot to put on pants."
"Fortunately, Spazzo had a spare pair on him to lend."
"Unfortunately, they were two sizes too small."
Only rule of thumb is to basically not act like bobcow did in the original thread - that is, no extreme apocalyptic situations that would make it inconceivable for a story to feasibly continue. (He liked blowing the world up a lot. Kind of hard to have a story when the world blew up every other post, unless you're going for "Demented Cartoon Movie"-style humor. Gleeg Snag Zip.)
Let's start.
One day, Tails was skipping along in a big, flowery field.
Fortunately, Doctor House was there to diagnose that the tumor was due to a rare condition caused by a severe big field allergy, and not lupus.
Unfortunately, the cure was going to be expensive.
Fortunately, he had in his possession a replicating device capable of replicating solid objects which he used to replicate a single dollar note many millions of times so that he could easily afford the cost of the cure.
Unfortunately, it was presently broken, and would take days to fix.
Fortunately, Eggman was walking by and bored enough to want to fix it, using his genius to speed up the process.
Unfortunately, Eggman became afflicted by severe abdominal pain and accidentally ended up sitting on the replicating device, crushing it into many tiny pieces.
Fortunately, it was made of self-replicating nanomachines. And where there was once one, there were now many.
Unfortunately, they all started producing Eggmans.
Edit- BLAST! Too late.
Fortunately, it was no big deal, as they were all tiny Eggman.
Unfortunately, they were all nude belly dancers.
Fortunately, (... wow, this one's hard.) ...
Fortunately, their pimp came by and whisked all the dancers away cuz they owed him money.
Unfortunately, Tails was taken with them and was forced to work the streets.
Fortunately, Tails made enough money to pay for all the treatment and the pimp.
Unfortunately, he didn't get that money through very commendable means, what working with a pimp and all that. Ew. >.<
Fortunatly, Tails was able to meet up with a lil street girl named Fiona.
Unfortunately, she was an evil robot clone created by Robotnik.
Fortunately, she was anatomically correct to a living being.
Unfortunately, she was superhuman (superfox?), meaning if she wanted you dead, you were already dead.
Fortunately, Tails was able to convince her that he was already dead.
Unfortunately, like his Archie counterpart, he fallen in love with her.
Fortunately, he was able to impress Fiona by having two of something else other than his tails.
Unfortunately, she wasn't interested in two replicating devices.
EDIT - FUUUUUUUUUDGE foiled again.
Fortunately, Tails was able to calm her boredness by killing the pimp, thus freeing him of his duties and coming back with a little extra in his pockets!
Unfortunately, the pimp only carries cash. And it's marked. And the FBI's after him. Yeah.
Fortunately, Tails knows that life's more than just money, and usually mo' money mo' problems, so it was all good with him.
Unfortunately, Jim Lehrer suddenly appeared in front of Tails and punched him in the face!!!
Fortunately, it hit Fiona's robot ass instead, destroying Jim's hand.
Unfortunately, Ray Suarez came to Jim's aid by hitting Tails on the head with his personal copy of the Holy Bible!!!
Fortunately, Tails was able to use his e-bible to obliterate the paper copy with its sheer rays of technological awesome.
~Shadowed Spirit Sage
Unfortunately, the rays were radioactive and granted sentience to every machine within a block radius.
Fortunately, because Fiona was a robot all of the machines listened to her.
Unfortunately, the rays had caused her to go rogue.
Fortunately, Tails was able to guide her back to the side of good through the Power of Love©.
Unfortunately, the other robots began to hate her for this and stopped listening to her.
Fortunately, Jim Lehrer started reading the latest world news to the other robots which caused them to enter a very deep state of slumber.
OT: Primus, how I missed this game.
OnT: Unfortunately, everyone else was lulled to sleep as well.
Fortunately, Exploud appeared and awoke everyone else from their sleep by yelling as loudly as it possibly could before returning to Hoenn.
Unfortunately, nobody knew what the heck just happened, or who that person was, say they tried going back to sleep.
Fortunately, Jim Lehrer helped everyone (except himself) go to sleep by placing sleeping pills into their mouths.
Unfortunately, they were cyanide pills.
Fortunately/Unfortunately, NOTHING HAPPENED!
Edit - Double post from me. Whaaaa? Oh well.
Double edit - HAHA! MINE WENT THROUGH FIRST!!!! *jig*
C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!!!!!
Anyway...
Fortunately, no-one actually ended up swallowing the cyanide pills..... they spat them straight outta their mouths.
Unfortunately, everyone who spat out a pill swallowed one that someone else had just spat out.
Fortunately, everyone who swallowed one of those pills was immune to cyanide poisoning.
Unfortunately, since life as a zombie leads to skin conditions, statuses, and modes.
Fortunately, Ray Suarez recited certain verses from his copy of the Bible which made all of the zombies in his midst revert back to their original forms.
Unfortunately, the crew from Resident Evil came into the scene before Mr. Suarez finished his sentences, thus killing some of the zombies.
Fortunately, Tails wasn't one of those killed.
