THIS WILL BE LITERALLY THE ROLEPLAY FOR EVERYONE!!
Some roleplayers want to be the star of the story, even if they join later than anyone else.
Some roleplayers want to make up anything that comes into their heads, without paying the slightest attention to what was going on in recent posts.
Some roleplayers prefer to avoid any action at all, having the characters do nothing but converse about the weather or daily routines.
Some roleplayers insist on contradicting clearly established personality traits for characters.
Some roleplayers insist on one-upmanship: if you have an unbeatable magic sword, I have TWO unbeatable magic swords.
Some roleplayers love to combine unconnected situations/characters/worlds without rhyme or reason.
Some roleplayers love to get everyone expecting something from them, then walk away and leave the rest of the characters hanging in the middle of what was supposed to be a pivotal scene.
AND....some roleplayers begin with a sincere intention of being team players and making it fun for everyone...but that relentless real life trips them up with its demands that won't wait.
For all of these types, I now present a roleplay that is guilt-free...because it is PLOT-free! Be anyone, do anything; the MORE senseless and incoherent, the better!
For this to be done, the opening installment must simulate multiple installments by multiple persons, to let you see the contradictions. Once you've seen the first few arbitrary changes, add anything you like. Everyone's a star here!
==================================================
FIRST POST:
It was early morning of the third day after Aragorn was crowned King of Gondor. Faramir and Eowyn were enjoying a leisurely breakfast together on a veranda of the royal palace in Minas Tirith, discussing their wedding plans.
==================================================
SECOND POST:
Suddenly a regiment of Civil War Confederate cavalry came riding up. Its commander, the dashingly handsome Colonel Beauregard T. Beauregard (the T stood for "Beauregard"), saluted Eowyn with his saber, saying, "My dear Miss Eowyn, I was hoping you would marry me instead!"
==================================================
THIRD POST:
Just then, a fleet of Imperial star destroyers entered atmosphere with beam weapons blazing. Every living thing in Minas Tirith was instantly killed...except for one 13-year-old girl and her horse. The girl, named Valatirana, set off on a quest whose meaning no one but she understood.
==================================================
FOURTH POST:
Wolverine and Cyclops noticed Valatirana riding past, but they were otherwise occupied: with a double solitaire game.
"Black five on red six."
"Red jack on black queen."
"Red seven on black eight."
"Black two on red three...."
=================================================
FIFTH POST (written five days later):
No, it wasn't Wolverine and Cyclops who were playing cards, it was Magneto and Sabertooth!
================================================
SIXTH POST:
An hour later, Jessica received an e-mail telling her about a coming talent contest. She just knew that her act of simultaneously belly-dancing and playing a bagpipe could win.
