No, you hit a button you thought was auto-self-destruct. Self-destruct mechanisms that other people can activate are for inferior villains! In reality, you just did something pointless and random due to your own silliness! ALL YOUR FORTRESS ARE BELONG TO ME!!!

Sorry for my lack of action that last few pages. I don't have many chances to check outside of school.

Uh...just a suggestion...perhaps someone should explain the rules to Mad Jack. He doesn't seem to grasp the entire "just post the action" instead of "post the action and the effect".

Sorry, Jack, but 'tis true.

Again, I ask if anyone has called the next game. If not, I have an idea of what to do. Just let me know either way.

Ehh... whatever. Think what you will. I just needed an interesting excuse to get my player back to the real world. And seeing how I have yet to obtain a fortress, i have no problem with this.

Just asking as I'm new to calvinball but how do you decide who writes the ending?

Toastburner B · 10-04-2004, 09:26 AM

Traditionally, everyone writes an ending, and the best one is used. Every now and then people don't realize how close to the closing point we are, and as such, only one ending gets submitted.

Terex4 · 10-04-2004, 01:26 PM

Well, I submitted my ending.

The Argent Lord · 10-04-2004, 02:28 PM

Anyone mind if I start the next one? I have a good idea, and although it starts with me having the ball, I"ll give it up as a side effect of the first person attacking me.

I'm still trying to figure that out. Last time, Mad Jack tried to call it, but Thaumaturge already had via PM. I'm afraid that I am out of the "who called it" loop.

Besides, if not, I beat you to it. Please note my post on page 12 and on this page.

Sorry.

Seriously, though, unless someone states otherwise, I'll start the next game either Tuesday or Wednesday, around 9am US Mountain time.

If someone already has the next game, please let us know.

Thanks.

No one minds if I call dibs on Calvinball XXIV do they? I had an idea which could be very fun.

Glad to see there's one by the original rules going on, but I think i'll pass, seeing how a kitchen appliance wouldn't fare too well in that degree of reality :p

I've got no qualms about who starts the next regular God-Mod one, it matters little. The chaos that ensues afterwards is the essence of that which is known as forum calvinball.
