I have the plot in my mind, and if I had better cards I'd be able to link them together more easily. I'll see if I can manage that in the next fragment without going over the 25-line limit. > It is Alfvaen's turn. - -- - --Alfvaen(Web page: http://www.terranet.ab.ca/~aaron/) Song In My Head--Billy Joel:Miami 2017(I Saw The Lights Go Out On Broadway) Current Book--Jo Clayton:The Snares of Ibex They've got more pseudonyms that I've got obsessive-compulsive disorders. --vampyr ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 16 Jun 1997 21:09:04 -0400 (EDT) From: John Frederic Mc Coy Subject: Re: Acka: Lantern On Mon, 16 Jun 1997, Aaron Humphrey wrote: > > > > Alfvaen plays: ice > > > > This is approved, and "ice" is burned.

Well, as is my reputation and tendency, I am not sure if I understand the rule for this game as well as I should. How exactly does a card get burned? I didn't know there was a 25 line limit, are there any other limits on story segments? Finaly, just for clarification's sake, if I interupt someone, I don't have to (and indeed should not) submit a story fragment with the card? Oh, by the way Alfvaen, don't get too attached to your plot and background, cuz my cards (the ones I submited and the ones I ahve to play with) aren't going to mesh very well. =) > > > It is Alfvaen's turn. > - Vynd jmccoy@umich.edu has no .sig, writes this stuff by hand every time. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 17 Jun 1997 00:19:27 -0400 From: Malenkai Subject: Re: Acka: Lantern > Well, as is my reputation and tendency, I am not sure if I understand the > rule for this game as well as I should. How exactly does a card get > burned? A card gets burned when it is played into the story, but has no lingering effects. In this case, the ice was sort of here and part of the scene, but it is not really a loose end. On the other hand, if a treasure map had been worked into the story, it would be a loose end until the treasure was found, or the map otherwise lost, etc. > I didn't know there was a 25 line limit, are there any other > limits on story segments? Lines have to be between 12 and 25 lines, not counting blank lines. > Finaly, just for clarification's sake, if I interupt someone, I don't > have to (and indeed should not) submit a story fragment with the card? Correct. BTW, I probably *would* have axed the last segment for non sequitur had it not been the first time. I thought a warning appropriate to start.
