[ORP] Bravia, Go Fishing!

Post by marleen »

Go Fishing!

Image
Hints of the morning sun sparkle on the horizon, dusting low and lazy clouds with subtle hints of blush. Perhaps you feel it's an ungodly hour to be awake, but, you have your warm cup of klah to quicken your step and warm your bones. It's chilly this time of pre-dawn, but the fish are hungry. And so are you! You've got a breakfast campfire ready to go, but you forgot to bring food. You could sure go for some breakfast-fish. Oh, if only you could catch some! You stand at the edge of the woods, a serene lake in front of you and your low cooking fire waiting. You have your trusty Old Rod ready, but nothing else... In the distance you see a deep, shimmering sparkle that could only mean a great, big, legendary-sized fish. How many fish can you catch for your breakfast? You could eat 20 fish!

HOW TO

This is a unique Interactive Fiction adventure, similar to a choose your own adventure book, or like a tiny, strict game of solitary dungeons & dragons, except with more emphasis of progression towards a singular goal. Some players might have difficulty with rolling dice so for the sake of simplicity, whenever you choose an action, I will respond with your dice roll, and use my special, secret sheet with all of the numbers written down and what they mean, to interpret that roll and tell you what the dice have chosen and how well you did.

But... there might be a lot of players and a lot to keep track of. So, I'm entrusting you to manage your own inventory. For example, if you have 0 fish in your inventory and I tell you that your dice roll meant that you caught one fish, on your next post, you would write that you now have 1 fish in your inventory, now.

Your objective is to catch 20 fish. Optionally, as a stretch goal, to catch the legendary fish!

SPECIAL NOTE: Unlike some of the other games, this is a longer game and you will need to respond several times (perhaps 5) to get to the end. If you are in the mood for a "one-and-done" type of game, this isn't that, and that's okay. No hurt feelings!


HOW TO WIN

You can claim your participation prize leaf if you have made any one post here to play the text-adventure game. But if you catch 20 fish, you win! If you catch something else, oh boy, that's even more special!


ACTIONS YOU CAN DO EACH TURN

On each turn, you can take one of these actions:
  • Fish using your __________ fishing rod
  • Use a piece of bait to fish with your ________ fishing rod

HOW TO GET STARTED

Everyone starts out with 0 bait, and 1 Pretty Bad Fishing Rod, and having caught 0 fish so far. Since you don't have any bait, all you can do is fish with your Petty Bad Fishing Rod. So, to get started, simply respond with this:

Code: Select all

WHAT TO DO AFTER YOUR FIRST TURN

I will try to check multiple times a day to respond with your result.

When I have replied with the result, reply with your updated inventory and what you want to do next

To get what you posted last time, you can press EDIT (the pencil icon on the top right) of your last post, or, you can QUOTE your code (the icon that says "), and then you can make changes to that.



DO I HAVE TO GO IN ORDER?

No, don't go in order of other people. If I've responded to you, you can go again.

You cast your line, but it gets stuck. How rude! When you untangle it, you discover that you've caught a fish. Horray! You've also caught a gross mass of sea weeds - is that? It is! You caught a new fishing pole, too!

You cast your rod and you feel a jiggle!

Jiggle jiggle, jiggle jiggle...

It's a, it's a ... very long stick- fish?

Why does it look metalic?

Oh, that's not a fish, it's a ...

You cast your fishing line very carefully, minding your posture and casting angle and approximate time of the sun, but, whoops, it flies out of your hands! The fishing-rod part that is, you've still got the handle, though? A friend you know comes by and consoles you and gives you one of his old rods, it's a ...

You cast your line and have a nice drink of klah with the pleasant weather, and before you know it, you feel a bite! Your line shakes. Oh boy it's a big one! You reel in your line and find that you've caught not one big fish but, 14 fish! Holy klah-leaves! And, the fish that went for the bait didn't quite manage to get it.

You get your bait back!
+ 14 fish!
