I recently came across this thread on alternatehistory.com. I was highly intrigued by the idea of an alternate history game of Telephone. It looked very fun. Unfortunately, I am one of many who have been banned on alternatehistory.com.
Luckily, I'm not actually banned on Sufficient Velocity. So, would anyone be interested in doing an alternate history Telephone game here?
Rules (copy-pasted from AH thread):
A Telephone Map Game is a turn-based Map Game, inspired by the children's "Broken Telephone" games.
The game starts with Player 1 making an Alternate History map. It can be from anywhere in the world and any timeframe. Then, when the map is completed, Player 1 sends the map to Player 2, and to nobody else. Then Player 2 makes another map, which could be considered to be in the same universe as Map 1 (but not necessarily the same time or location). When finished, Player 2 sends their map to Player 3. Now Player 3 does a map which could be in the same universe as Map 2, however, Player 3 doesn't know what Map 1 looks like. The process repeats until a substantial amount of players have finished the turns, and then the whole process is revealed, looking at how the concept changed from the first to the last map.
To speed up the game, that thread also split the maps - i.e., each person sends their map to the next two people. That might be worth doing here, if enough people join. However, I highly doubt that enough people will join this one to make that worthwhile - this forum is significantly smaller then AH.
In addition, due to there being fewer mapmakers on this forum, I also though it could be possible to expand from only maps to both maps and vignettes. If enough non-mapmakers are interested, I'll do this.
So, would anyone be interested in joining this?
