Let's Play: Question

[doom3607]

I'm wondering, would anyone be interested in a somewhat more serious game along the lines of the L.A.M.E. team's method of play? I'm not saying no silly random shit would happen, I'm just saying it wouldn't be the point, and I wouldn't deliberately help it along. I have a pretty good idea of how I'd start it off, and am just wondering if anyone would, well, play it.

It depends largely on the topic or whatever, but I would at least be intersted in learning more.

Well, the basic idea was that it's late in the 22nd century, Earth just got hit by surprise by a fragmented comet coming in from sunward effectively shotgunning the planet with fragments that caused enormous damage including massive tsunamis and a massively increased amount of cloud cover thanks to all the vaporized water, causing crops to die from lack of light and excess water as well as massive flooding. This is of course in addition to the land strikes near inhabited or in-use areas. Total die-off: ~90% of humanity. All governments and nations are basically gone, so the survivors get to pink up the pieces. The players start as the crew of the ISS2 (built and run by the International Space Administration, ISA) at about the moment the first bit of comet hits the planet. Then they decide where to go from there.

EDIT: You, in particular, I'd like to have playing this. You actually somehow manage to deal somewhat seriously with Team L.A.M.E.'s problems despite everyone else, and still manage to be funny.

That's definitely an interesting concept, and I'll say I'm in.

Also:

Me? Somewhat seriously? I've tried to murder/execute Shepp and Shroom at least twice. I cost Shroom his leg. But thank you, I'm flattered.

You aren't masturbating in the middle of a crowded spaceship or flinging fecal matter around as a form of weaponry. By the team's standards, that's pretty serious.

EDIT: And both of them tried to do the same to you first, and thus had it coming.

[doom3607]

In any case, I'll just get a picture and get started.

EDIT: As soon as I'm sure about the name. Must be sure about the name.

I might be interested in trying to give it a go, sounds like it might be fun enough.

And try as I might I just don't think I'm insane enough to be a member of team LAME.

[doom3607]

Oh good. One more crewman I can be reasonably sure isn't a complete psychopath. Bets on shep appearing and voting to nuke the survivors or something, or Shroom showing up and trying to incite canibalism?

This sounds pretty interesting. Tell me more!

[doom3607]

Here it is, the intro! Please tell me I'm not that shitty a writer...

It's basically post apocalypse. The first, obvious, decision is, where do you land? You have a good deal of emergency supplies on your lifeboats, including such fun things as weaponry, so basically anywhere habitable would work. And then we go from there, you guys commencing... whatever you're trying to do. High-tech banditry? Not the initial idea, but what the hell, you're the players. Build an empire? Go right ahead! Actually follow the last order given? If you want. Sounds a little Star Trek style holier-than-thou-ish, though.

Any further questions can be directed to the actual game thread itself.
