This may be evidence confirming the ultimate refutation of Peak Oil theroy.

Bird flu will cause demand destruction causing Peak Oil to be moved to after the survivors natural life span.

Peak Oil theroy? I assumed this was in reference to Aaron's Never Ending Story. An interesting question occurs to me - we are on the edge of major pain. Is it obscene to crack jokes and try to have fun? Maybe it is. So what, I'll try and joke my way past the grave, knowing how it ends.

What is needed are some gratuitous picture of the fully-automatic Spec-XXXXLG, and the Humanure bazooka!

It would improve the continuity of the story if each poster included at least one reference to the previous post. The RandomWord Association thread has rules. Why not this one?

[Pops]

Yes, granny, the key to writing a corroborative story is continuity.

Try to weave your plot into the existing one.

[DomusAlbion]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('PenultimateManStanding', 'I')f you look at what has happened with this little creative exercise, you see entropy in action. The story has no continuity. It keeps pulling off on new tangents, and spinning it's wheels, goes nowhere. (meanwhile. . . blah blah blah). When people work together, something interesting can happen, when they go their own ways, you get mishmash.

[PenultimateManStanding]

One can only tidy up the loose ends with new clones for so long. After a while we'll have dozens of clones all following some different story line.

[PenultimateManStanding]

I was just re-reading the story so far, and I'm confused, amused, and thinking that this thing needs a real master at story telling to make it all come together. It aint me, I can tell you that! The random word thing can go on forever. Perhaps this story needs to have just that one rule, as Pops suggested, that a post need only continue the post immediately preceding it. Hmm. . . (that's a recipe for a totally crap story I know )

[PenultimateManStanding]

Omnitir, you suck! Really, it's pathetic. If you had to write a story to save your life, you'd be a dead duck.

[Omnitir]

Thanks mate.

Obviously my last post was my attempt at burying the dead horse so that we could stop beating it. Better to kill it and start again then keep the pain going.

At least with my other posts I was attempting to pull together other peoples parts, which is more then I can say for some… I tried to explain the processing situation that developed and take it to a place that can evolve, and I tried to explain the action parts with a simultaneous battle happening far off in the city. But no one seemed to want to continue anyone else’s ideas.

nd PMS, you’re in no position to be criticising other people’s creative writing skills!

LOL, actually I did like the twist with the soldiers controlling the protagonist (er, clone 3 I think) with a joystick. I was waiting for someone to say that the soldiers made two of the prisoners (or whatever they were) fight each other like a playstation game…

It really is amazing how quickly it all degenerated.. But even with rules it would get silly pretty quick. Though I have seen one of these forum never ending story type games work before. Though that was with Tolkien freaks, not peak oil apocalypse freaks.
