Hi forum!

I have a very simple request <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I'm working on the first chapter of an (amateur <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" /> ) adventure game (good old point 'n click style <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> ), but I've still got a few holes in the chapter that I'd like filled. I hate to choose any obvious paths, I preferrably go with some original stuff, but I could use some inspiration...

So here's my question: could everybody (who feels like it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> ) write down 10 random words? Any word that you can come up with! Doesn't matter how boring, dull, original, cliché, shocking, cute, moronic... Anything will do!

The point is that I then shove this list into my brain and wait for the storm, and out comes a brilliant story! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> I figure if every member of the couple of thousands members on this forum writes something down, I should get a pretty decent list to get going... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

And before anyone asks <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> : No, I'm not telling anything about the concept or story or characters or anything yet, and no, there is no website (yet) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> As I'm asking for brainstorm material you may safely assume the game is still in an early stage <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> Moreover, if you knew what this is about, you wouldn't be able to come up with utterly random words because of subconscious influence! (Really! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> )

I thank you for your cooperation <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/kissyou.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I have been frozen in my seat on many occasions not wanting to move my mouse for fear of what might happen next, I’ve heard sounds and voices so clear that I was becoming unsure if they were actually coming from the speakers

Thx people <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> I appreciate it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Keep 'em coming! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Hmmm... @Dragh: Trying to steal every chat-topic from these boards? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> Truly, your board is a good idea <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> - And you can have the spamming <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />, the msn-kind of chat <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> and even the stories if everybody's happy with that (not that I ever thought the Larians were bothered much by those <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" /> ), but... if the Larians didn't want any non- <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> -topics on their forum, I don't think they'd included this "general chat (anything)" in the first place <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />
Well, I'm not a big surfer and I don't do many forums... I'd just like to stick with this one, thank you <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/kissyou.gif" alt="" />

Thx for the new lists! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Shyon: Thanks for the translations too <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> I don't think they'll be much use in the game (you never know though <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> ) but at least I've learned some new Brazilian words (wow, did you know that it looks very much like Portuguese? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> )

Pol: You're a nut <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> (Please don't ever change! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> )

DQueene: You should have a doctor have a look at your antidisestablishmentarianism - I've done it too, I'm feeling much better now <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Ok I could go on trying to make a witty reply to everyone else too but I have a game to make (ehm I mean, I have a life to live <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> ), so I'll just give the rest a grateful <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/kissyou.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

I will give you one spoiler though: there will be no Hillary Duff in the game <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
