The Life and Death of a Pkunk OOC

[Lukipela]

Hello and welcome to a new and exciting forum game! This game is called “The Life and Death of a Pkunk” and is a very simple CYOA. At the end of every adventure post, you will be given two alternatives. Choose the one you prefer, and vote for it. I’ll be updating approximately twice a week, assuming at least 4 people vote. The game has a set length and purpose. I won’t tell you what they are, although you might find out during your adventures.

I have actually written this as a complete adventure, so every possible outcome already exists. This means the game can’t really go off the rails, but on the plus side it means it’s fairly easy for me to update. In order to benefit from this, I will be running the game both here and over at UQM StarBase Cafe board at the same time. If you’re interested in what outcomes they get, check out their adventure and OOC thread. If you are registered at both forums, you can play at both forums.

Keep in mind that the normal *Heavy Space* rules apply. Any questions and comments about the game shall be posted here in the OOC thread, whilst in game responses and discussion of the various alternatives shall be posted in the game thread. If you manage to screw this up, I will move or delete your posts. If you consistently manage to screw it up, I’ll ban you from the game.

With all that said, why don’t you head over to the game thread, where a young Pkunk is just being woken up.

Creating a game log of this game is going to be challenging, I can see.

OOOOhhhh... Now I get it. You're playing two different games on the two forums. I came by and saw a totally different selection made and thought you had done some really weird and nigh-inexplicable modding as part of the reset one might expect to have occurred after selection 2 in, uh, one of these places.

Indeed. UQMF and SCDB started off from the same place, but unsurprisingly we've already diverged.

Through my expertise in leading the way and a general all-round desire to see as much of the game script as possible.

with every post lukipela makes in that topic, I dislike the Pkunk more and more.
Too much sweetness aches my teeth!

I'm trying to make them merry, happy and somewhat erratic. Not every path is as sweet either, although I suppose they are all pretty sweet.

That's what the Pkunk are, you're doing a fine job of it.  Angel just doesn't like the Pkunk.

You're right

Suffice it to say, I've always hated the Pkunk and there ship...

The Pkunk may be annoying but the Fury is an amazing ship.

Man, my timing estimates have been horrid with this. Despite having it written up, I've still failed to update on time. Sorry about that, work has just been really rough lately.

Six for option 1, three for option 2. So it goes...

I must say that I'm surprised that both UQMF and SCDB got to the same ending. There were only two of this particular type and there are a lot of other endings. I guess you guys aren't all that different really.  Isn't that a comforting thought? Almost Pkunk-y really.

Anyway, replay launches on Monday if there seems to be interest. Feedback is welcome as well and constructive criticism dearly appreciated.
