Quests

[PaperJack]

Are they allowed ?

For those who don't know what a quest is, it is a simple method but also very fun to create an interactive story.
The creator progresses the story basing himself on the suggestions of the posters.
For example, this is how a quest would look like:

OP posts: "You are all alone in a dark room. What do you do?"
Generic_user1 posts: "Switch on the lights."
Generic_user2 posts: "Try to navigate in the dark and find the door without turning the lights on."
Generic_user3 posts: "Generic_user1's idea is the best."
Generic_user4 posts: "I think we should stay and wait for something to happen."
OP posts: "You fumble in the dark a bit, and switch the lights on. You notice someone has moved your furniture"... etc etc.

In this example, the OP progressed the story following Generic_user1's suggestion, since it has got 2 votes and generally sounds the best.
Any questions ?

We have actual proper forum-based RPGs in the gaming forum.

Have a very nice day.

Yes, and in addition to the endless STGODs we have things like the (now-dead) Dark Heresy game, which is a lot more advanced than what you're proposing.

Have a very nice day.
