Right, this is a new forum game and I hope you will all enjoy it This is how it works. There are two teams competing: TeamA: Julius Scud Turty Matty TeamB: Basse Andan Von Mashek Morgoth ( others can join too ) The two teams will take turns to post a letter of the alphabet. Anyone from the team can post if it is their turn. For example if it is team A's turn, Julius can post: And after this post anyone from teamB can select their letter and so on. The letter will stand for some item, person or place related to the Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy ( the current theme ). This will be decided by me. For example: A: Argubathon spectre of justice. The perspex pillar representing the forces of science and reason. Everyone on team A gets +100 HP. However it could also have been: A: A-Rth-Urp-Hil-Ipdenu. A small slug that Wowbagger insulted. Team A gets a militia. Every 10 posts, there will be a battle between team A and B. Since posts between team A and B must alternate, each side will have 5 items. You can repeat letters, but a letter must be picked only once each battle. Good luck First turn to team A. Battle1Team A: X: Xaxisian giant lizard. ( iron boar) F: Frogstar fighter A. ( paladin ) J: Jatravid: (spearman) . L: Lamuellan perfectly normal beast. ( Elite war elephant ) A: Arcturian megadonkey ( sheep ) Team B: S: Silastic armorfiend ( elite jaguar warrior ) C: Colin the happy robot (samurai ) T: Towel ( +50 HP to all ) O: Olgaroon ( monkeyboy ) E: Eccentrica Gallumbits ( aztec monk ). Battle results will be announced shortly.

I shouldn't participate either, since I have yet to read it.
And that would make even teams.
Good game concept, though.

Come on, I've not read the book either. All you have to do is pick a letter.

Quite correct. And there isn't really much of a storyline, so there's no risk of spoilers ( it's a comedy mostly ).
Just keep picking letters, and I'll decide what they stand for. For the battle I'll make up an appropriate storyline.
It's now teamB's turn. ( you don't need me to keep telling you, just keep checking the posts ). I'll 'reveal' the objects whenever I have time.
X: Xaxisian giant lizard. It comes from an ancient world, where the lizards rule over the people. Team A receives an iron boar.

I'll choose the next letter if no one else turns up in a day or so.

S: Silastic armorfiend of Striterax. An extremely violent species whom the best way to annoy was just to be born. They got resentful, and when the Silastic armorfiends got resentful someone was bound to get hurt. One of the best ways to deal with a Silastic Armourfiend was to lock him in a room by himself, since he would beat himself up sooner or later.
Team B receives an elite Jaguar warrior. However he will beat up anyone on the team ( including himself ) if the battle doesn't take place soon.
Julius- it is your turn.

Ok, it's showdown time Q: Can't find anything good with this so I'll skip it. C: Colin. A round, very cheerful security robot that is always happy thanks to a wire stuck in his pleasure centre. Team B gets a samurai. F: Frogstar fighter A: A large and powerful space fighter. Team A gets a paladin. T: Towel: An exceedingly useful object. As the guide says, a towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapors; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (such a mind-boggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough. All team B gets +50 HP J: Jatravid. Small blue creatures with 50 arms each. The Jatravartid people, however, believe that the Universe was sneezed out of the nose of a being called the Great Green Arkleseizure. They live in perpetual fear of the time they call "The Coming of the Great White Handkerchief", and are therefore unique in being the only race in history to have invented aerosol deodorant before the wheel. Team A recieves a spearman O: Natives to the small forest world of Oglaroon, Oglaroonians have taken what is a fairly universal trait among sentient species (to cope with the sheer infinite vastness of the universe by simply ignoring it) to its ultimate extreme. Despite the entire planet being habitable, Oglaroonians have managed to confine their global population to one small nut tree, in which they compose poetry, create art, and somehow fight wars. The consensus among those in power that any trees one might observe from the outer branches are merely hallucinations brought on by eating too many oglanuts, and anyone who thinks differently is hurled out of the tree, presumably to his death. Team B receives a Furious the monkey boy L: Lamuellan perfectly normal beast. A large charging sort of animal which is perfectly good to eat. Team A recieves an elite war elephant. E: Eccentrica Gallumbits, "The Triple-Breasted Whore of Eroticon Six". Known for her calculated charms. Team B receives an aztec monk A: Arcturian megadonkey: An animal renowned for it's stupidity.. as well as it's good taste. Team A receives a sheep.

Please get rid of the censorship, at least the 'damp' nonsense.

Ahaha, I've always liked the Guide's descriptions of things. Makes for a good laughter sometimes. Congrats, team B!

Ok, I was going to write a long story about it, but I have no time so in short Team B wins!
I can't continue this anymore because I am really busy. Anyone else want to take it up can do so.

I'll do it, but it won't be Hitch-hiker's.
