Y.A.R.N. - game over - who won?

Post Post #0 (ISO) » Tue Apr 12, 2016 4:33 am

Post by pablito »

Y.A.R.N. is a competitive creative writing game in which players will each privately submit a sentence to be the next part of a story, and all players will then vote for the sentence they would most like to become the next sentence. The one with the most votes is then placed into the story and then points are doled out accordingly to the votes. This continues for 10 rounds, upon which the story is completed (and kept for posterity) and the player with the most points wins!


Overall rules

  • The game will last 10 rounds, each of which consists a writing round and a voting round
  • Players may enter and play at any point in time, there is no registration required
  • Have fun with this game - the story is the star more than the players.
    Just keep it within Site Rules.


Round: Game over!
Phase: Moral of the story
Deadline:
22nd May - Sunday 19:00 EDT

The Story

After a long, arduous trip, several scummers arrived at the bus stop and they turned around and heard, "It's you!" The scummers turned to see a large man in a trench coat, rifling though the jacket to pull out something he treasured dearly. The scummers felt their expectations drop significantly when he pulled out only a crinkled, yellowed piece of paper, until the most astute amongst their party realised, "It's a map". The scummers hurried toward the man to get a better look at the map, hoping that it would lead them to something important. It didn't. The scummers blinked at each other: they'd just come out here to solve the mystery of the disappearing tigers but they weren't expecting this disappointing encounter with a stranger who seemed to know them. The disappointed scummers sadly turned to get back on the bus, but were stopped in their tracks by growling from the bushes. ”Lions and tigers and bears - oh my!” As the unknown voice spoke, Mollie's head whipped up: she was sure she knew the speaker, even though she couldn't for the life of her fathom why they'd be here, of all places. Mollie blinked into the weirdly vivid sunlight, thinking she didn't remember her surroundings look this way a moment ago, certain a moment ago there were more scummers, that the pillars infront of her had been bushes. "It's okay, pirate mollie, you were having another hallucination...shhh...don't worry, there's no such thing as Mafiascum," the tiger in a doctor's lab coat said as he locked the door to her cell for the night.

Moral of the story "ilu all"

Overall rules

  • The game will last 10 rounds, each of which consists a writing round and a voting round
  • Players may enter and play at any point in time, there is no registration required
  • Have fun with this game - the story is the star more than the players.
    Just keep it within Site Rules.


Writing Phase

  • For a period of 48 hours (exception for the first round), all interested writers should privately PM pablito a sentence that will continue the story.
  • You do not need to be signed up at that time to enter a sentence. If you are on the player list and do not submit a sentence, you will not have an entry for that round, but there are no penalties, and you may enter a sentence during any future rounds.
  • All entries must be shorter than 200 characters. You may use this website if you need to count characters.
  • All entries must remain anonymous. Do not allude to your sentence or share your sentence with anyone (even non-players, as they may eventually join) until after the voting phase for that round.
  • All entries must follow Site Rules.
    Any entry that does not follow such will not be entered and you will either have a non-entry or I may ask you to resubmit. Even borderline entries may be not considered.


Voting Phase

  • Once the deadline occurs and the mod returns to a computer, the entries will be anonymously posted and numbered. These are the sentences upon which all voters may vote. No registration or sentence entry is required to vote.
  • For a period of 24 hours (exception for first round), all interested voters should privately PM pablito the vote for which number sentence you would like to win the round.
  • You are only allowed to vote 3 times without submitting a sentence that round, you cannot complete all rounds as a spectator. All subsequent votes will have no value.
  • You are only allowed to submit a sentence 3 times without voting that round, you cannot complete all rounds as a ghostwriter. All subsequent "ghostwritten" sentences will gain no point value (but still may earn the right to be the next sentence).
  • Do not share which sentence is yours.
  • The sentence which earned the most votes will earn X+3 points. X being the number of votes earned.
  • In the case of a tie, the first tiebreaker is the entry who earned the most votes from players who submitted a sentence. The second tiebreaker is the sentence that was submitted earlier.
  • All other sentences will earn X points.
  • All voters who voted for the winning sentence will earn 1 point as well.
  • Once the points are shared, the next writing phase begins.
  • The player who has the most points after 10 rounds wins.

To enter, just send me a PM to follow the opening sentence:

"After a long, arduous trip, several scummers arrived at the bus stop and they turned around and heard, 'It's you!'"...

72 hours to submit.

Each round is only 1 sentence. You can pack as much as you want in that one sentence though. Tag together some independent clauses if you wish.

Only three entries so far - four if I submit one without voting. Please submit anything!

Meh, as long as it has some semblance of a sentence I'll add it in. Not very strict in the entries.

Here are the submitted entries for Round 1. Please do not share which one you wrote. Please vote for your favorite before deadline by PMing pablito. You are not allowed to vote for your own entry. Anyone can still join in the game too, just PM me your vote!

Round 1 entries


"After a long, arduous trip, several scummers arrived at the bus stop and they turned around and heard, 'It's you!'"...


  1. Pablito spoke, "Let there be YARN!"
  2. The scummers turned to see a large man in a trench coat, rifling though the jacket to pull out something he treasured dearly.
  3. That, on it's own, would've been strange enough, but, as they blinked into the sunlight around them, they realised they couldn't see who'd spoken.
  4. "Papa Zito, the world needs you to protect them from these heinous animated frogs!"
  5. Rick Astley shook his head in disbelief, it has been almost 20 years, and still he was getting recognized on the streets.
  6. Only to see a horrendous looking frog-man moving his head back and forth while staring in their direction.
  7. "I won't cover my scars -- I'll let 'em bleed, so my silence won't be mistaken for peace." exclaimed the soldier.


For round 1 the deadline is 48 hours to vote (normally 24).

(expired on 2016-04-17 12:30:00) to vote. Any person can vote on your favorite entry. Just PM pablito your choice!

Some rule clarifications/updates:

  • You are only allowed to vote 3 times without submitting a sentence that round, you cannot complete all rounds as a spectator. All subsequent votes will have no value.
  • You are only allowed to submit a sentence 3 times without voting that round, you cannot complete all rounds as a ghostwriter. All subsequent "ghostwritten" sentences will gain no point value (but still may earn the right to be the next sentence).
  • In the case of a tie, the first tiebreaker is the entry who earned the most votes from players who submitted a sentence. The second tiebreaker is the sentence that was submitted earlier.
  • The overall winner earns the right to make the first sentence of the next game.


No penalties were assessed during this first round. However it is in your best interest to participate in both phases of a round to avoid gaining penalties, the plurality of players had only participated in one phase.

Also from now on the deadlines will roughly be: 48 hours for submitting a sentence, 24 hours for voting. If you are V/LA just let me know as well so that your failure to vote/submit won't count against a "spectator"/"ghostwriter" penalty.

Votes:

  1. (
    Axxle
    ) Pablito spoke, "Let there be YARN!": no votes
  2. (
    Save the Dragons

Round 3 entries


After a long, arduous trip, several scummers arrived at the bus stop and they turned around snd heard, “It's you!" The scummers felt their expectations drop significantly when he pulled out only a crinkled, yellowed piece of paper, until the most astute amongst their party realised, "It's a map..."


  1. The map was to a bordello on the upper west side and the trenchcoat clothed person chuckled and said, "Whoops! You weren't supposed to see that! Here it is!".
  2. The group of scummers lynched the large man, and took the map for themselves…
  3. The scummers hurried toward the man to get a better look at the map, hoping that it would lead them to something important.
  4. "Yes, scummers, it's a map to the most expensive pirate treasure you could ever hope to find."
  5. "Aye, it's nice to see the journey didn't dull your wits completely," the stranger said, eyeing the scummers skeptically, "because, not meaning any offense, you weren't exactly what I was expecting..."
  6. The large man spoke again, "This will lead you to safety, be warned the Tigers are coming!"

Round 4 entries


After a long, arduous trip, several scummers arrived at the bus stop and they turned around and heard, “It's you!" The scummers felt their expectations drop significantly when he pulled out only a crinkled, yellowed piece of paper, until the most astute amongst their party realised, "It's a map..." The scummers hurried toward the man to get a better look at the map, hoping that it would lead them to something important.


  1. The man yanked the map away and said, “not so fast scummers, you have to do something for me first!”
  2. “The sewers? What could possibly be worth anything down in the sewers except
    rats, disease and dirty needles ­ I think Radja and Save the Dragons should go and check it out,” said one of the astonishingly lovely scummers.
  3. The scummers grabbed the map out of the man's hand, tearing it into pieces, the man sighed and reached into a different pocket.
  4. It didn't.
  5. The map seems to be guiding towards something called the Treasure at the Heart of the Internet.
  6. ​The scummers looked quizzically at the yellow parchment before making out a path that lead to a big X and hopefully treasure!
  7. The map, which was curiously titled, 'Adventure This Way', seemed to be a pretty basic representation of their surroundings: a few buildings, a road, a swamp and, in
    the distance, a castle.


For round 4 the deadline is 24 hours to vote.

    ) The map, which was curiously titled, 'Adventure This Way', seemed to be a pretty basic representation of their surroundings: a few buildings, a road, a swamp and, in the distance, a castle.: no votes

The story so far...


After a long, arduous trip, several scummers arrived at the bus stop and they turned around and heard, "It's you!" The scummers turned to see a large man in a trench coat, rifling though the jacket to pull out something he treasured dearly. The scummers felt their expectations drop significantly when he pulled out only a crinkled, yellowed piece of paper, until the most astute amongst their party realised, "It's a map". The scummers hurried toward the man to get a better look at the map, hoping that it would lead them to something important. It didn't.


48 hours to submit the next sentence! (expired on 2016-04-28 20:00:00) 9pm EDT on Thursday the 25th.

You can still vote without submitting a sentence, it just won't count for points or help anyone win anymore.

Here are the submitted entries for Round 5. Please do not share which one you wrote. Please vote for your favorite before deadline by PMing pablito. You are not allowed to vote for your own entry. Anyone can still join in the game too, just PM me your vote! Don't be a ghostwriter, please vote

Round 5 entries


After a long, arduous trip, several scummers arrived at the bus stop and they turned around and heard, “It's you!" The scummers felt their expectations drop significantly when he pulled out only a crinkled, yellowed piece of paper, until the most astute amongst their party realised, "It's a map..." The scummers hurried toward the man to get a better look at the map, hoping that it would lead them to something important. It didn't.


  1. The Scummers turned away from the large man looking disappointed, there was another bus just pulling into the bus stop.
  2. Or did it?
  3. "Beware there be tigers? Tell me something we don't already know.", Ani complained.
  4. It led to the sewers.
  5. Instead, they found themselves staring at a list of all of their names scribbled on the back of the parchment, written in what appears to be fresh blood.
  6. The scummers blinked at each other: they'd just come out here to solve the mystery of the disappearing tigers but they weren't expecting this disappointing encounter with a stranger who seemed to know them.
  7. The scummers all groaned, "who cares about the Treasure at the Heart of Internet, it's probably just old memes"
  8. After wasting so much time on the useless map, the scummers challenged the man to a game of mafia; if the man lost, he would lose all his money, but if the man won, all the scummers who lost would pay the man all of their money.
  9. Discouraged by the lack of treasure hunting, everybody agreed to get drunk, so they went to a bar.


For round 5 the deadline is 24 hours to vote.

(expired on 2016-04-29 23:00:00) to vote. Any person can vote on your favorite entry. Just PM pablito your choice!
Sup, later.
