Kawi: I've been thinking about making a story where you are an international mercenary and you get to choose an organisation to work for. I went as far to make a setting for this story.

This story is set in the dystopian future of 2050. You are a mercenary, Jack Templar. You work for whoever pays the highest price. In such an unstable world, you are never short of work.
+
-
 
+
-
Here is a brief summary of Jack Templar world
+
-
 
+
-
North America- The former superpower was plunged into a second civil war during the 2030�s. The North and the South are once again at each others throat. Neither side can gain superiority over the other.
+
-
 
+
-
Western Europe- Its people have the best standards of living. However, puppet democracies are really controlled by powerful aristocratic families and everyone is under 24 hour surveillance for their â��protectionâ��. Think George Orwellâ��s 1984   
+
-
 
+
-
Eastern Europe- Individual warlords control the rural areas, and the conflict between them creates many atrocities. Meanwhile, its larger cities have become the red light district of the world as a result of the thriving sex slave trade. 
+
-
 
+
-
Africa- Any hopes for harmony in Africa are all but destroyed. Old tribal tensions and civil unrest has plunged the continent into unimaginable bloodshed. As a result, most of the world�s military contactors use it as a base of operations.
+
-
 
+
-
China and Japan- An uneasy truce exists between the worlds leading military and technological super powers. Their mutually beneficial arrangement makes them a force to be reckoned with. They are suspicious of all foreigners. 
+
-
 
+
-
South America- Most of the continent is controlled by a dictator. To the people, he is a benevolent revolutionary. Under the surface, he runs the biggest drug operation in the entire world. Resistance forces occupy most of the Amazon.   
+
-
 
+
-
Russia- The old soviet power has long since shut its door on the rest of the world. Few know what goes on inside the country.
+
-
 
+
-
Middle East- Groups of all descriptions squabble over the last oil reserves. The longest wall ever built surrounds the state of Israel. Meanwhile, Palestinians have united and started an organised front against their old enemies.
+
-
 
+
-
Australia- An unknown epidemic swept the continent clean of any human habitation. There are many rumours that mutants occupy certain parts of the mainland.
+

Sorry. My imagination went a bit crazy.Any thoughts or feedback would be greatly appriciated.

---You've created a world. Not much else. There's no real plot to your idea, or supporting cast, or anything. These things could be forgivable, but your world isn't even that interesting. It's a world spawned by a few exaggerated cliches. North and south start fighting? Over what? Slaves? Japan and China enemies? Whoa how novel. Africa enveloped in civil war? But Europe is controlled by government? Incredible. It'd be more novel to make Africa the strongest united nation in the world, plunge Europe and America into poverty and civil war, then have China and Japan on the move to take over these disputed territories.

And Jack Templar? Might as well call him Buff McWarriorpants. Give him an ordinary name. In order to draw reader immersion and interest, in-fact, it would be best if you made this Jack some deadbeat nobody. One day he's enjoying his life somewhere in the word when it's suddenly usurped from him. He has to learn to survive in a hostile changing world. There, that's a basic idea for a story, one which is well suited for CHOYA. Thanks for enduring my critical comments.--[[User:Anubite|Anubite]] 11:29, 28 November 2008 (PST)

Jeffthedork: I've been thinking about a story were: 3 teens are dared to spend the night in a haunted house and they get attacked by gousts and they find secret rooms and stuff like that.

+

---Good idea. What name and what rating?

---Jeffthdork: Rating = R.  Name = Fright.

Jeffthedork: I've go another idea: A haunted prison kills it's convicts and it's guards.  You would be a guard and have to try to live.  The prison would be able to turn on machines by its self and make unreal stuff happen like the back wall of a cell push the inmate in the cell against the cell door, slicing him into many pieces.

monkey76: how about a story where the laws of physics (or reason) don't apply, so the most sensable choice might not work eg: if you ask boss for a raise he explodes and if you kick him he'll give you the ocarina of time.

or is that a bad idea?
+

-
Jack Frost: If somebody ever writes that, I hope they put it in the "Nobody Should Read These" section. But, that does sound like it would be a good story. That also seems like a great idea for a story.

Trar: I need help writing my story, [[Would_You%2C_Could_You%2C_Fuck_A_Goat%3F!|Would You, Could You, Fuck A Goat?!]]. Every page has to have an option at the bottom of it leading to[[Die]], ALWAYS, no matter what. Also, the player will NEVER actually fuck a goat. That would be bad.

TheNeverEndingTale:This is getting annoying ><.I keep forgetting my password,so I ended up making yet ANOTHER account(I'm NovelOfDoom and TheEverLastingTale.)

Reecer6: I have an idea. You are a kid named David who wakes up in a haunted mansion and must get out. it'll be slightly RPGish, as you'll gain Health, XP, ect. while facing creatures from spiders to Ginormous Screamer faces. He'll also have a fear meter. You'll want to keep it low to beat enemies easier, but keep it high to destroy cracked walls ect. There'll be 2 passages in most every room.

Reporko: i have two ideas....
+
-
one is where you are kicked out of your home by your girlfriend and are really depressed. you walk into an alley and discover you have secret powers.
+
-
 
+
-
The other one is where its like in post future like 2011 or 2015 or something and like the world is collapsing and people are surviving when the apocalypse and after. Tell me what you think.

==Olympian Quest==

Does anyone agree to this: This is about a quest that takes you to Mount Olympus and find a stolen trident that the greek god, Hades hid.--[[User:Greenlande23|Greenlande23]] 15:24, 4 June 2009 (PDT)

==Fixing the red ring of death==
+
-
I had an idea to make a funny adventure of your x-box 360 geting the red ring of death, and you try to fix it. I just need to see if people think its a good idea.
+
-
 
+
-
 
+
-
 
+
-
Ring of Death eh? The old Ring of Death... well, I guess it wouldn't be really funny if you make it like, 'you restart your Xbox360. YOU WIN!' That would be lame. To me, a good story based on real life always has a kick-butt fighting scene, a huge plot twist, an evil wizard, Russia and it's 11 time zones, Shaka Zulu, and a Jamaican guy. So, if you include all of those, then yes, it would be an EPIC story, like mines. Play it here--> [[An Epic Adventure]] --[[Forsak3n1]] 16:33 August 6, 2009

==Castle II==
+
-
This is a scenario that I have done verbally, and want to put on here. It is a puzzle/rpg/type thing, with a plot and many different options. You explore a castle, trying to find the person who cursed your hometown. You encounter many dangers, monsters, conflicts, and other action-like things. Is this a good idea?

==Badassery==
+
-
I'm new, so sorry if I edited this wrong. I'm just copying how other people are editing this. Basically my idea for the story is you start off normally. You're a man, kids, wife etc etc. Then out of NOWHERE, some guy tries to kill you! So you head off on a quest to try and find out who and why they tried to kill you. For fun, I will also put in some hidden random stuff in the story. Slipping in a internet meme, or a video game quote. The unique parts of the story(hence the title) will be the BADASS moments. Where the character will start off a combo(for lack of a better word), and you choose how to continue it. Some will advance the combo, and some will leave you flat on your face. I will try my hardest to put as much pages and effort into this story before summer vacation ends. Good idea?

==Comics Unrated==
+
-
Much like the Star Wars and Star Trek, adventures, you choose characters and have sex, fight, kill, curse, etc. Basically way to express the comic heroes as if they were more like people and not heroes. There would be a set story for each hero. I even thought at the beginning you must choose DC or Marvel, and then it starts. I think a lot of people would like this.
