Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around a creative writing game known as the "three word story," where participants contribute to an ongoing narrative by adding three words at a time. The scope includes imaginative storytelling with elements of humor and fantasy, as well as the playful engagement of participants in building a collaborative story.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Conceptual clarification
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • Participants introduce a setting in a distant land called Arcadia.
  • A monstrous mathematician is characterized as having discovered a new method to topple an evil tree shaped cow.
  • The narrative evolves to include a maiden who can only be found to catch an unicorn from the land of Nosgoth.
  • Another physicist is introduced, whose ambition is to topple the mathematician's tower using various imaginative methods, including a resonant ninja sound blaster and a field equation of relativistic pink elephants.
  • There are playful edits and corrections regarding the rules of the game, including the number of posts participants must wait before reposting.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the format and rules of the game, but there are playful disagreements regarding the contributions and the narrative direction, with no consensus on the final story outcome.

Contextual Notes

Some contributions include humorous elements and playful corrections, indicating a light-hearted approach to the storytelling process. The narrative is highly collaborative and evolves with each post, reflecting the dynamic nature of the game.

Who May Find This Useful

Readers interested in creative writing, collaborative storytelling, or playful engagement in narrative construction may find this discussion appealing.

Lots of people may already know about the "three word story" threads from various forums on the web.
For those who don't know,

You answer the post above with only 3 words. The goal is to make a story that never ends! Let's see how far this can go!

:smile:
Rules:
* 3 words per post max
* No double posting(Wait until 2 more posts until you try to re post again.)
* keep it clean
* try to work with the running story

I'll start
