Okay, so we started the game off with one of our Major Choices which means everybody votes, and the majority wins. For example,
(CHOICE A. Shoot Lee.) (CHOICE B. Leave Lee.) Now let's pretend 3 people voted to shoot Lee, and 10 voted to leave him. The majority wins, so we would be forced to leave him, but the Major choices only happen every 5-10 posts. Now if it isn't a major choice then this happens,
Let's pretend i posted this, "So Clementine decides to leave Lee and tries to find Omid, and Christa." Now let's pretend you want to continue off of my post, you could post something like this, "Clementine has been on her own, when she sees two shadows over the hill."
And every 5 or 10 posts we have another Major Choice Make sense now?
I really don't know... It would depend on how many people would be interacting with this daily. If a lot of people were interacting on this thread, a couple hours maybe..? If not, it could be similar to how the choice was made in the beginning of the thread.
"I think we should head to that dairy! Stores are practically guaranteed raided by now." Says Gloria, Alexander now says, "See if they got ammo or guns, i'd love to have some more target practice with Danny." "Will do son!" A couple hours later.... "Alright we're here! Man this place looks nice, damn! They even got a working generator." Announces Danny. Gloria looks around on her own, "Holy Cow! Literally, Holy cow! There's a live cow over here, come check this shit out Danny. It's got plenty of food and wa-.. umm.. this might not happen to be one of the st johns over here is it?" Danny rushes over there "Oh my, oh my god. Poor Danny, well at least he didn't turn into one of those walking corpses. I wonder how that cow survived all this time... i mean it has food and all... but wow..." Gloria now moves her attention to the farmhouse, Might as well check what food they have in there. While in the barn they open a freezer (Note: The generator is still working) "Look at all this meat they have in here! Dayum! That looks good...." Says Danny. They then open the cabinets and find canned food. "Well we have a couple of different choices here..."
MAJOR CHOICE, #5 (A. TAKE THE MEAT) (B. TAKE THE CANS) (C. TAKE THE COW, note: the cow would be better for a long term.)

So... The characters so far,(just so I know I've got this right) are Alexander, who's Gloria's son. Then there's Danny, who's Alexander's mentor, but Gloria thinks he's creepy, and then there's Melody, right? I want to join this at some point, and I really want to make sure I understand everything, how it works, etc.

Alexander looks off in the far distance and sees what looks like to be a fresh zombie. Good thing Danny left the gun here, thinks Alex. He holds the gun very still and absorbs what Danny told him last week. Hold the gun tight, have it in a firm posision, look down the sights, hold your breath and... BAM, that''s how you do it. He does what Danny says and finally takes the shot. He misses, he wasn't sure if it was because of the distance or if he was doing something wrong, but then he hears a man yell. "Wait! Holy crap don't shoot again, i'm alive not dead! man!" Alexander in disbelief of what he has just heard, for he hasn't seen an alive person (Besides his group) Since the out break started. The man makes his way to the motor inn. Alexander was about to let him in, was stopped by a worried Melody. "You can't just let a stranger come straight in." The man buts in, "Hey, hey, I mean no trouble, I just want a group, and you have no idea how happy I would be to join you. I've got guns, food, i can keep you alive." Alexander only heard one part to that sentence, "I've got guns" Alexander thinks of all the possibilities with more then one gun at the inn. "You've got guns?" Alexander asks. "Yeah, you want one? I've got 4 of em' you want the revolver, the pump- action shotgun, rifle, or my personal favorite, the bow." Alexander takes all of the guns into consideration, and makes his decision.
Since C is the clear majority after all this time, I'll go ahead and start ahrm...
"I'll take the revolver," Alexander said after a few seconds of thought. "Ah, okay," the man said. Melody looked suspiciously at the man. "What's your name?" She asked. "It's Mike," the man said as he handed the revolver over to Alexander. Just then, Melody saw Gloria and Danny come back with a cow. When Alex saw it, he told Melody, "Looks like we got you a sister." Melody looked disgustedly at Alexander, and Mike chuckled softly. When Gloria, Danny and Maybelle came in, the first two looked suspiciously at Mike. "Who is this, Alex?" Danny asked slowly.

Melody looked disgustedly at Alexander, and Mike chuckled softly. When Gloria, Danny and Maybelle came in, the first two looked suspiciously at Mike. "Who is this, Alex?" Danny asked slowly.
Danny asks the question, "Who is this Alex...?" As he asks this, he grabs Mikes arms from behind, "Who the hell are you?!" The new man, Mike slowly speaks, "I mean no harm, i'm just looking for a group-" Danny cuts him off, "I don't care what your looking for, whatever it is, it ain't here, now leave before I have to make you-" Alexander interrupts, "NO DON'T!!! He's a good guy, look what he gave me." Alexander shows his new revolver to Danny. "If you let me stay i'll give all you folks, each a gun." Mike gives Danny the rifle, Gloria, the shotgun, and Melody the bow. "There I have no weapons, I can do absolutely no harm to you folks. But I reckon if I were you folks i'd be getting in your rooms, a big herd of them bozo's should be gettin here within an hour, barley got away from em' myself." Danny takes the staying of Mike into consideration. "If we were to let you stay, how could we trust you not to hurt us in our sleep?" Mike thinks for a moment and says, "Lock your doors, i can't do much with em locked can I?" Danny sighs and says, "Fine, you can stay but if I catch you doing anything suspicious, I MEAN ANYTHING, you're dead meat."
I won't be... Honestly, I'm not a fan of this model. One of the great things about TT's TWD was that it was your story, this model of the story being written one person after another feels like it would be incredibly hard to connect to, or write, the characters. Sorry.
The zombies had come as Mike had said, and they were all brainless. The group found some good loot: plenty of bullets, a pocket knife, a Bowie knife, a screwdriver and a hatchet. And things were going as good as they had been. The group had an good breakfast, plenty good, and Alexander talked to
[A. Mike]
[B. Melody]
[X. Danny]
[Y. Gloria]
The next day...

[Y. Gloria]
Alexander spoke to Mike. "You feeling alright? I know Danny's been giving you a hard time." Mike laughs, "Yeah i'm fine. He's nothing I can't handle. Before this all started, I was just that geek everyone made fun of. I'd trade my old life for this one in a heart beat." Alexanders eyes widen, "Really? I couldn't agree with you more, I've never been the "Popular" one either." Mike chuckles, "I didn't think i'd find anyone like me. Now I noticed you aren't the best shot in the world. Want me to teach you?
CHOICE #8 [A. Tell him that Danny is already teaching you] [B. Allow Mike to teach you]
"Well," Alexander said, pondering as he spoke. "I-"
"Alexander knows enough about shooting a gun, Mike," interrupted Danny. Mike looked awkwardly at Alexander and Danny. "L-look-" Mike stammered. "See here," Danny replied, "this group don't need some random fool-"
"Danny!" Gloria shouted. "Stop this!" Danny turned around at Gloria and said, "Woman, this fool is going to leave after this meal! Tell me any different, I dare you to." Mike quickly turned pale as Danny's tanned face turned red. "Goddamnit, Danny," Melody said. "This guy didn't slit our throats last night!" "Because we fucking took his guns! You know what happened last time we let someone like him in, don't you Melody?"
Alexander looked at his mother and Danny, and he spoke up.
[A. "Danny, don't be such a dick!"]
[B. "We gotta get him out, guys."]
Alexander spoke to Mike. "You feeling alright? I know Danny's been giving you a hard time." Mike laughs, "Yeah i'm fine. He's nothing I can't … morehandle.

CHOICE #8 [A. Tell him that Danny is already teaching you] [B. Allow Mike to teach you]
"Danny don't be such a dick! I trust him! In fact why don't we take a vote on it then. I vote team Mike." Says Alexander heroically. Melody chimes in, "I vote team Mike." Danny gives Melody a dirty look. "I vote on behalf of getting rid of him!" Announces Danny. "Gloria, it's up to you. Gloria stays quiet. She looks at Danny, then at Alexander. "I- I, um, sorry Danny, but i'm going to have to vote for Mike, he seems like a nice guy, and has done no harm." Danny feels disgusted and heads back to his room. Later that night... Gloria knocks on Mikes door. He answers awkwardly, with a blush. "Um, hi? What brings you here." Gloria smiles, and also begins to blush. "I just wanted to apolagize for Danny's behavior, he's just not good with guests you know, one other time we let someone in, it didn't end well... but i'm not going to get into that." Mike chuckles, and the two begin flirting for nearly 10 minutes before Gloria ends the conversation, "Well I gotta go, see you later." She says as she kisses him on the cheek. Seemingly seconds after Gloria left, Danny is pounding at Mikes door. "Listen to me, Mike. She's my woman, i've liked her since the begining of the whole outbreak. And I ain't gonna let you ruin what we have." Mike barks back. "Obviously theres nothing between you to, or she wouldn't have been flirting with me. And do you stock her or something?!" Danny, who was offended by his words, pushes Mike into his room and slams the door shut, and locks it. He pulls out his new rifle that Mike gave him, he points it at the chest of Mike.
MAJOR CHOICE. {A. Don't shoot Mike} {B. Shoot Mike}
I would normally vote A, but if B was chosen we could have a mystery on who did it. The group would most likely think it was Gloria since she was last seen at his room...

... What??
Hey, Clementinecultist i have a suggestion, how about every 5, or 10 choices, we have another vote period.
Vote period, as in voting for a particular choice? If so, I'm all for it. Should we add a time limit, to keep late voters from screwing up the flow?
I'm confused, how does this work?
Yeah, that's what I meant. And a time limit would be a very good idea. So should we do it every 5, or 10 posts? (or even 15, 20, it's up to you)
I've answered in Edit #2 at the top. BTW, what would be an ideal time limit?
Yeah, sorry about that. My shitty brain made some good preparations for this. /s
But in all seriousness, see Edit #2 at the top.
Okay, so we started the game off with one of our Major Choices which means everybody votes, and the majority wins. For example,
(CHOICE A. Shoot Lee.) (CHOICE B. Leave Lee.) Now let's pretend 3 people voted to shoot Lee, and 10 voted to leave him. The majority wins, so we would be forced to leave him, but the Major choices only happen every 5-10 posts. Now if it isn't a major choice then this happens,
Let's pretend i posted this, "So Clementine decides to leave Lee and tries to find Omid, and Christa." Now let's pretend you want to continue off of my post, you could post something like this, "Clementine has been on her own, when she sees two shadows over the hill."
And every 5 or 10 posts we have another Major Choice Make sense now?
I really don't know... It would depend on how many people would be interacting with this daily. If a lot of people were interacting on this thread, a couple hours maybe..? If not, it could be similar to how the choice was made in the beginning of the thread.
"I think we should head to that dairy! Stores are practically guaranteed raided by now." Says Gloria, Alexander now says, "See if they got ammo or guns, i'd love to have some more target practice with Danny." "Will do son!" A couple hours later.... "Alright we're here! Man this place looks nice, damn! They even got a working generator." Announces Danny. Gloria looks around on her own, "Holy Cow! Literally, Holy cow! There's a live cow over here, come check this shit out Danny. It's got plenty of food and wa-.. umm.. this might not happen to be one of the st johns over here is it?" Danny rushes over there "Oh my, oh my god. Poor Danny, well at least he didn't turn into one of those walking corpses.

While in the barn they open a freezer (Note: The generator is still working) "Look at all this meat they have in here! Dayum! That looks good...." Says Danny. They then open the cabinets and find canned food. "Well we have a couple of different choices here..."
MAJOR CHOICE, #5 (A. TAKE THE MEAT) (B. TAKE THE CANS) (C. TAKE THE COW, note: the cow would be better for a long term.)
For voting reply to this post.
I vote C Because, oh Maybelle! She survived. But I think A would be the funniest, them not knowing it's human meat.
The cow must be taken! So C!
Yes, but can just anyone continue the story at any point?
C
Also, there are two Danny's?
Yeah.
I have an idea on the whole time limit situation. Until this thing gets popular, we could finish voting once 5-10 people have voted.
Ok, sounds good.
Hell yeah. As long as you can follow the rules, I don't give a damn who takes the story forward. (Well, maybe except a few certain trolls)
So... The characters so far,(just so I know I've got this right) are Alexander, who's Gloria's son. Then there's Danny, who's Alexander's mentor, but Gloria thinks he's creepy, and then there's Melody, right? I want to join this at some point, and I really want to make sure I understand everything, how it works, etc.
Pretty much accurate! Show us what ya got!
Your right on everything, except i don't think Gloria thinks he's creepy, she thinks he's more weird then anything else.
Just remember Melody needs to live as she is a character in the other fic going on that takes place like a year from now.
Back at the Motor inn,
Alexander looks off in the far distance and sees what looks like to be a fresh zombie. Good thing Danny left the gun here, thinks Alex. He holds the gun very still and absorbs what Danny told him last week. Hold the gun tight, have it in a firm posision, look down the sights, hold your breath and... BAM, that''s how you do it.

(CHOICE #6) (A. Revolver) (B. Shotgun) (X. Rifle) (Y. The bow)
Continue...
Also, guys once we get our voting done from the second Major Choice. Just include it back into the motor inn, for example
Alex picks his choice of gun, when interrupted by the sound of his mom We brought back Meat
Why don't they just take all of it? Nevermind, C
Since C is the clear majority after all this time, I'll go ahead and start
ahrm...

Whoa whoa whoa, there not just killing her, right? It would be a lot smarter to Milk her, or make cheese, or something. : )
Hey man, Why don't you take a turn on this thread?
Danny asks the question, "Who is this Alex...?" As he asks this, he grabs Mikes arms from behind, "Who the hell are you?!" The new man, Mike slowly speaks, "I mean no harm, i'm just looking for a group-" Danny cuts him off, "I don't care what your looking for, whatever it is, it ain't here, now leave before I have to make you-" Alexander interrupts, "NO DON'T!!!

Are we the only ones doing this, lol?
I'll still be following this, and voting in your "Major Choice" sections.
Alexander spoke to Mike. "You feeling alright? I know Danny's been giving you a hard time." Mike laughs, "Yeah i'm fine. He's nothing I can't handle. Before this all started, I was just that geek everyone made fun of. I'd trade my old life for this one in a heart beat." Alexanders eyes widen, "Really?

Alright, cool.
"Well," Alexander said, pondering as he spoke. "I-"
"Alexander knows enough about shooting a gun, Mike," interrupted Danny. Mike looked awkwardly at Alexander and Danny. "L-look-" Mike stammered. "See here," Danny replied, "this group don't need some random fool-"

I would normally vote A, but if B was chosen we could have a mystery on who did it. The group would most likely think it was Gloria since she was last seen at his room...
So my choice is neither, i'm out of this vote.
