Back in My Day...

[goreae]

I forgot how much i love forum games. Anyways, this is an old theater game I picked up that would go great as a forum game. Basically, it's an age competition. What one says, the other must say something older. Once the game gets to rocks (as it always does) you get a spot of amnesia and switch over to a new topic.

Spoiler: example

Back in my day, we didn't have fancy holograms. We had to watch our stories in plastic boxes called Tee Vees.
Back in my day, we didn't have television, we had to read our stories in these things called books.
Back in my day we didn't have your paper or books, we had to stare at rocks for entertainment.
Back in my- wait, what were we talkin 'bout? oh yeah! back in my day, we didn't have the enternat...

I'll go ahead and start us off.

Back in my day, we didn't have teleportation. We had to get from planet to planet by using spaceships. It was expensive, too.

Back in my day, we didn't have space ships. We couldn't even visit other planets. The most we had were planes.

 

[Exedra]

Back in my day, we didn't even have planes? You wanna get there? DRIVE!

 

[PeggleFrank]

Back in my day, we didn't have cars. We had horses. If your horses died, you had to walk.

OOC: It's going to be beautiful when we get so old that we are the aliens that drop us off on the planet and we have spaceships again

Back in my day, we may've walked, but we only had buckskin moccasins.

 

[PeggleFrank]

Back in my day, if you wanted to travel over water, you had to swim.

 

[goreae]

Back in my day, all you could do was swim. If you went on land, you suffocated.

 

[VikeStep]

Back in my day we had no arms or legs, we had to swim with our ears

 

[goreae]

Back in my day we didn't have ears. We felt the vibrations of the earth, instead of being distracted by their noise.

 

[Jess887cp]

Back in my day, everybody was amphibious, instead of being you reptilian suckers.

 

[goreae]

Back in my day, you couldn't even go on land! fish rule! We were phat, dope, groovy, whatever it is you mammals use nowadays.

 

[the_j485]

Back in my day, none of us had the luxury of a spine. We had to make do with a hard outer shell, or just be soft and squishy.

 

[PeggleFrank]

Back in my day, most people were just blobs of skin. No-one had arms back then, or legs, or ears, or mouths, or anything.

 

[Jess887cp]

Back in my day, we weren't even multicellular organisms.

 

[the_j485]

Back in my day, we were a primordial soup.

 

[PeggleFrank]

Back in my day, we didn't even have a planet to live on.

 

[the_j485]

Back in my day, all we had was a sun and a couple of rocks!

 

[PeggleFrank]

Back in my day, we were those rocks circling around the sun.

 

[goreae]

Ah ah ah! The conversation turned to rocks, so we start at a new topic now!

 

[the_j485]

Back in my day, we had to make do with computers!
