We will not ford the river

Okay, so I was at my compy today, screwing around (not a new story, trust me) when I had a brilliant idea.

See, I was playing Oregon Trail, reliving some of the glory days of elementary school, when it hit me.

When I was in school, we would name the players in the wagon after people in the class (and hope that it wasn't us who got dysentery and died).

So anyway, here's the brilliant idea.

Anyone who wants to be a part of this action just drops a comment and asks to be counted in. We'll then play the game through and I'll transcript it. Bloggers in the party will be asked to submit dialogue for whatever events happen (i.e., whoever gets sick, whoever breaks an arm, whenever we come to a river, etc.). Hilarity is bound to ensue (I hope).

Comments? Questions? Takers?

Sure, add me in. Although I never played the original game. When I was in elementary school, the PC did not exist.

I don't really know how this will work exactly, but can I play?!?

I'm in... I'm really curious as to how this is actually going to work, but with the amount of time I lost during elementary school to this game, I can't resist.

I don't know exactly how it's played, but I'm sure I'll catch on soon enough. Count me in.

Can I be a princess? (he he) just kidding...count me in also.

This sounds fun. I hated Oregon Trail when I was a kid. Maybe this will help me get over it ;>

Hey, Dariush, before we set off on our trek, I just wanted to let you know that you're invited to my virtual birthday party today! You can bring as many guests as you'd like! I guarantee there will be no river fording!

OREGON TRAIL! I think the last time I thought of that... I was... um... instant messaging you?
