Title: Good Luck / Bad Luck
Post by: tSwitch on April 05, 2009, 04:20:02 PM
This game is something new, and I like the idea, I hope you guys might as well.

Basically, the game tells a story, in which good and bad things happen to a particular person.

Rules:
Alternate between Good Luck and Bad Luck
(in your post, at the top, state whether or not it's good or bad luck, just to help reinforce this)  Each person will continue the story, telling one quick event of good or bad luck that happened to this person.

Try to keep it within a sentence or two like... "after he got to work, he found that he was mistakenly fired in place of his co-worker, due to a paperwork mishap" Obviously this was bad luck.

Try to keep the event related to the story in some way, not like..."he randomly is smashed by a falling elephant" or something of the like.

Twist it all you want, just keep it somewhat related to what has happened already.

And now I'll start:

(good luck)
Joe woke up one morning, luckily waking up on time, as he forgot to set his alarm the night before.  He begins to get dressed, and heads downstairs for some breakfast.

Joe pours himself a bowl of cereal, but finds that he is out of milk. So instead of milk, he pours orange juice into his bowl, which turns out to taste so bad that he throws up in the kitchen sink.

luckily though, Joe finds he has enough money to buy something quick on his way to school, so he gets his car keys and heads out to his car.

Unfortunately, Joe's car is completely out of gas. So he has to ride his bike to work, all 120 miles of the way.

Luckily, Joe remembered he had to go to school that day, not work, so the ride was only about 5 miles.

Sadly, Joe slammed into a curb 3 miles from school. He was not seriously injured, but his bike was trashed in the event.

Joe didn't really like the bike anyway, and now had an excuse for being late to school, whilst enjoying a scenic walk.

unfortunately, three men in a black van found him walking along the side of the street and abducted him, driving off to an undisclosed location, Joe...bound and gagged, inside a potato sack.

Luckily, Joe wasn't killed, or taken to a warehouse by the mafia or anything. Rather, he was taken to a very formal dinner party, where the host apologized for his men's rough behavior and explained that he had a simple job that he wanted Joe to undertake for huge amounts of money.

unfortunately, he didn't have a choice in the matter, and was forced to take the job of smuggling a bomb into the state prison that evening.

Fortunately for Joe, the police found the men who were forcing Joe to smuggle a bomb into the state prison and after deeming him innocent, they payed him double what the gang would have.

Unfortunately, Joe had a large amount of debt he was forced to pay off with the money, leaving him less than $100.
Title: Re: Good Luck / Bad Luck

but hey, Joe is out of debt now, isn't he?
Title: Re: Good Luck / Bad Luck

Wait a second, no he isn't. Joe just received a phone call from his aunt. Apparently, he owes her approximately $5000 for crashing at her house and nearly wrecking the place two years ago.
Title: Re: Good Luck / Bad Luck

Fortunately, his aunt fell over shortly after the phone call and died so he didn't have to pay off the debt.
Title: Re: Good Luck / Bad Luck

too bad he had already sent her the rest of his savings as payment.
Title: Re: Good Luck / Bad Luck

Luckily for him, Joe quickly made back that money by writing a short story for children from the events that just transpired.
Title: Re: Good Luck / Bad Luck

He just missed an entire day of school.
Title: Re: Good Luck / Bad Luck
Post by: tSwitch on April 09, 2009, 12:54:56 PM

Joe, feeling lucky that yesterday was a field day (meaning he doesn't have to make anything up from missing school), wakes up early for the next day of school.
Title: Re: Good Luck / Bad Luck

It's Saturday.

oh well, Joe is up and ready for the day, so he decides to go to his favorite restaurant for breakfast of pancakes and eggs.
Title: Re: Good Luck / Bad Luck
Post by: Sirius on April 10, 2009, 04:05:32 AM

While at the restaurant, the waitress serving Joe his pancakes and eggs slipped on the dry carpet, in the event slamming a burning hot pancake right on his face.
Title: Re: Good Luck / Bad Luck

Mmmm! Delicious pancake! And due to the accident it's free!
Title: Re: Good Luck / Bad Luck

Unfortunately, Joe received 2nd degree burns from the hot pancake and was rushed to a hospital.
Title: Re: Good Luck / Bad Luck
Post by: Zylos on April 12, 2009, 01:55:01 AM

Fortunately, he was patched up right away, good as new, and he was given a lifetime supply of pancakes by the restaurant for the whole ordeal.
Title: Re: Good Luck / Bad Luck
Post by: tSwitch on April 12, 2009, 03:02:54 AM

a lifetime turned into a week, as the restaurant was shut down for being unsanitary.
Title: Re: Good Luck / Bad Luck
Post by: Sirius on April 12, 2009, 06:25:29 PM

Luckily, one employee at the restaurant started his own B&B downtown and offered Joe full partnership, along with all the pancakes he can eat.
Title: Re: Good Luck / Bad Luck
Post by: tSwitch on April 12, 2009, 07:15:20 PM

too bad that one employee was terrible at making pancakes, and Joe couldn't stomach the concoction.
Title: Re: Good Luck / Bad Luck

But despite that, they still made enough money to keep the business afloat and have a good amount to pocket.
Title: Re: Good Luck / Bad Luck

The restaurant was hit by a meteorite, causing total destruction to the establishment.
Title: Re: Good Luck / Bad Luck

Joe just happened to be visiting his wealthy half-brother 36 miles away at the time the meteorite struck. Upon hearing the news, Joe's brother offered him a new job at his law firm.

A second meteorite hits the law firm, destroying it completely.

Joe's half brother lost his ears and legs after the meteorite hit.

Joe's half brother's evil firm is indeed gone for good, and the revenue they generated beforehand is enough to keep them afloat for many years.

By "afloat", we mean drifting down a river on a patchwork raft.
Title: Re: Good Luck / Bad Luck

They found a sturdy boat in the river.
Title: Re: Good Luck / Bad Luck
Post by: tSwitch on April 21, 2009, 01:06:25 PM

unfortunately, the boat was inhabited, by Somalian Pirates who capture them for ransom.
Title: Re: Good Luck / Bad Luck
Post by: Sirius on April 22, 2009, 04:47:00 AM

By some stroke of luck, the pirates are sniped out of the boat by a way seen more commonly in video games.
Title: Re: Good Luck / Bad Luck

Joe is hit by a stray bullet, and is now bleeding out on the boat

the ship docked perfectly into a blood bank where Joe good the blood he lost back. along with purchasing meteor insurance on everything he owns, has owned or ever will own. And hooks up with an STDless female supermodel.

ALL FOR $5.99 (plus tax)
Title: Re: Good Luck / Bad Luck
Post by: Sirius on May 06, 2009, 04:18:47 AM
(Bad luck)

It's too bad that Joe needed $5.00 more to pay the blood bank (That one in particular wasn't a nonprofit organization), and they said they would siphon all the blood they just gave him if he could not cover the costs (What kind of a corrupt place is that?).
Title: Re: Good Luck / Bad Luck
Post by: Arbiter on May 16, 2009, 11:50:08 PM
(Good luck)

Luckily a good friend of Joe's worked there and started his shift just as they were about to siphon the blood. Upon having a quick word with some of the other people that worked there, they allowed Joe to have the blood for free.
Title: Re: Good Luck / Bad Luck

Joe's supposed friend is actually a psychopath who kidnapped Joe and took him to an evil lair.

Dun dun dunnn
Title: Re: Good Luck / Bad Luck

Joe was about to be made into a virgin sacrifice, but since he wasn't actually a virgin, the psychopath just let him go.
Title: Re: Good Luck / Bad Luck
Post by: BlueEagle7 on May 24, 2009, 07:34:35 AM

He was no longer a virgin because of the psychopath... who also had bad breath.
Title: Re: Good Luck / Bad Luck
Post by: Zylos on May 29, 2009, 01:50:00 PM
(Good Luck)

Joe told the police about the psychopath, who turned out to be one of the most wanted men in the area. The police gave him a $100,000 dollar reward for helping them to capture the virgin sacrificer.
Title: Re: Good Luck / Bad Luck
Post by: BlueEagle7 on May 29, 2009, 03:50:02 PM
[Bad Luck]

They gave him the $100,000 reward in the form of a giant cheque like you see on gameshows. Because he didn't have a giant wallet to put it in, he couldn't take it to the bank to cash it.
Title: Re: Good Luck / Bad Luck
Post by: Zylos on June 24, 2009, 06:22:07 PM
(Good Luck)

The police saw that he couldn't even get it out of the police station, so they gave him the equivalence in cash.

(Bad Luck)

Unfortunately for him, the money that was handed out was counterfeit. He only found out after a shopping spree in New York when he arrived at the counter of the mall. It turns out the money the police handed to him was notes taken in from criminals concerning a banking scam.
