You wake up. The room is dark. Where are you? How did you get here? You see light beneath a door and hear voices in the next room speaking softly.

Backstory

You are a traveler. Orphaned at a young age, you have survived on your own throughout your early years hopping from village to village and learning to live off the land. You began hearing stories from other travelers of a great civilization far off beyond the tall mountains. No one from there was willing or able to give you details - all they could remember was that it was grand and amazing. Curious, and with nothing to tie you to this land, you have set out to find this place. After crossing the mountains and a substantial desert on the other side, you have once again reached fertile land. You made camp beneath the trees for the first time in many weeks, but when you awoke again, you find yourself in a house with no memory of having traveled there.

So do people think a full week is too long for this? I'm considering updating on a bi-weekly basis to keep things moving along.

Considering GDNet's addictive nature, and that I check it tri-daily, I say the more often the better! [smile]

Bi-weekly sounds good.

3days, 4 max. Any longer and you lose interest. Any shorter and there isn't enough participation. .02

Very creative the poll we had this week. Yes, one per week isn't enough.

I wanted to answer "go on a rampage and kill everybody in the other room, Unreal style" but I guess that wasn't an option [lol]

This is like "choose your own adventure" books, but collectively!

Or go on a rampage and rape everybody (if women's voices)

Nice poll, but I missed the option to eat rope.

It'd be nice if this was done in a separated section and it was updated daily (if possible). So we could have the poll running and also the RPG.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I'll start updating it Mon and Thurs beginning tomorrow.

Right now the main page is the only place to run polls BUT soon I will move this into the forums.

Keep the feedback coming. Just no story ideas or submitted polls w/options and such.
