I thought of a great forum game idea. It’s based on the old text adventures, where the scene is described to the player, and the person playing types a command. Basically, I will type a scene and a command. The next person will have to type the resulting action of my command and type a new command for the next person. There is also an inventory of the currently held items, just copy and paste it for each post and add or delete items when neccissary.
After hours and hours of flying in circles your little old airplane ran out of fuel and crashed in the middle of the jungle. There are tall trees and dense veggitation around you. Your airplane is lying there as a smuldering pile of scrap metal. Some supplies may have survived the crash. There is a monkey in the trees overhead. You can go East, South, or North.
Inventory:
1 Pilot liscense
1 Empty lighter
3 Packages of salted peanuts
Command:
Salvage whatever supplies are left in-tact.
After stumbling over loose drapping support cables to reach an obvious place for the supplies to be thrown when the plane hit the ground, you breathe deeply to control yourself and hope for the medical kit.
Struggling to remove some heavy remains you notice the case is cracked and half the contents scatterd about and possily outside the damaged ship. Also found was a can of pop. It catches your eye.
You decide a cool refreshing bubbly soda would be a nice break for you. Without thinking about it too much you subconciously put it in your pocket, and decide whether it’s safer to brave the outside monkey, or to be reminded of your awful headache in this crashed ship.
you swing down on the vine until halfway across the vine breaks. You are sent plummeting to the ground and land in a bunch of bushes. In the distance you hear a noise, and when you bend back the nearby trees, you see a village full of monkeys. Right in the center of the village is two humans. They are tied up.
As you approach the village, you recognice the two tied-up people, they are the nice couple that sat besides you in the airplane. You remember that their name was either Greystone or Greystoke. Anyway, you can’t see their little baby boy anywhere.
Sneakily you approach the village in the cover of some bushes. The monkeys haven’t noticed you yet. They seem quite angry about something, and you decide it might be better if you didn’t show yourself just yet.
while hiding in the bushes you feel a tug on your shirt and before you know it you are hanging up with the other two from your airplane.
you notice that the monkeys are just finishing a feast, you see one of the monkeys toss a cleanly stripped skull and recognise the pilots hat that if still firmlay attached to it.
the monkeys come your way and rip one of the other two from the pole and start pulling her arms and legs off and passing them around.
“s h i t” my pants (oh and pull out bag of penuts)
Cleaverly you pulled out a package of peanuts, which the monkeys instantly become fixated on. They seem to need a nice change after eating so much raw meat. They approach you anxiously, but stop and hesitate. Appearantly they don’t really like the smell comming from your pants, and now they don’t really know what to do.

1 Pilot liscense
1 Empty lighter
2 Packages of salted peanuts
4 can of POP

You try to talk to the monkeys but they get very mad. They surround you holding big sticks. They look very angry. You take out teh bag of peanuts and toss it away as a distraction. It works. All the monkeys run after the bag of peanuts. You run away and take some meat left overs with you.
Inventory:

The can of POP was accidently shaken up in the crash landing. It sprayed all over place. The air is now saturated with caffine particles, which put the killer monkeys into hyper-active mode. The monkeys are now jumping all over the place, tearing up everything they see. In the confusion you manage to untie yourself. There is sill one live man tied to a stake. You can go East or West.

11 message from cubefan saying he’s shopping
Unfortunately, you give the monkeys the responsibility. They turn out to be CubeFan’s helpers, and they take away all your inventory, and now, because you’ve ticked off CF, they don’t give you anything. They tie you to a rocket.
While examining the rocket you notice a latch with a radioactivity sign on it. Toy also notice a loose wire comig from a crack of another panel. There is also a roll of duct tape on the ground before the rocket.
While picking up the duct tape you notice a trapdoor. You open it carefully. A bright green light blinds you and you hear the sound of lovely singing voices. As soon as you can see again you realize that you found the jackpot: An Universal CF Defender and an high effective Poll Repellent.
You Pick up the UCFD and the Poll Repellent. There is a warning tag on the poll repellent.
Inventory:
duct tape
UCFD
Poll Repellent
Command:
Read Warning
The tag says:
WARNING!
This poll repellent is highly reactive and may ignite on contact with Duct Tape and any nuclear device. Not certified for use near Chernobyl.(sp?)
Conforms to IEEE 1934 standards for commercial use.
Command:
wrap FireWire Capable Poll Repellent with Duct Tape
the duct tape starts making a funny smell, and that attracts a little baby monkey. The monkey jumps on the bomb and it blows him up, but isn’t strong enough to injure you.
You sit down on the ground after a job well done, only to find a squad of commandos ( i say that’s 12 ) hiding on the ground. They are fully armed, but luckily you remember you still have you shaving kit in your pocket.
