Clearly Claw doesn't know his left from his right when navigating....


It's ok...just because it's injured doesn't mean it can't do anything...he gunna work like the rest of the oxen...


Why do we keep finding wild fruit? And what makes 'em so wild? Do they have psychedelic properties? Are Claw or IGen some kind of drug experts or something?


Well...looks like we're halfway there...how we've all survived so long is a mystery.


Our first fork in the road....Claw decides to head to Fort Bridger..."I hear its got a good market...Maybe I can sell Salsa for a few beers..."

After the aliens had abducted our heroes, they were sent back to Independence to once again head for Oregon. Claw is once again our fearless leader/carpenter from Ohio. He decided it would be best for this family to leave in April. They have kept their previous shopping list choices and are ready to embark on their journey (again)!


Wanting to make up for lost time and divide the rations well enough, the glorious leader Claw decided it would be best to move at a strenuous pace 12 hours a day with little rest. He also decided the group should be fed on meager rations because "everyone's fat enough already".


Kag decided it would be a great idea to jump off the moving wagon...


Oh fun...a river to cross...surely we can float across, right?


We made it!

Well the gods have spoken...Claw leads the group!

Here's my current one. I change my wallpaper every few months depending on whatever I'm interested in at the time. Sometimes its cars. Other times its nature. Maybe some fan art of a show I used to watch. Whatever's on my mind.



And I'm still loving this.

So I saw this on another server's forum and I thought "hey...why don't we have any interactive games like this? It's an excellent roleplay experience". So I bring it to you, my friends. You will thank me later.

So what we're gonna do is play the original Oregon Trail game released for the Apple IIe, in a little bit of a different way. Basically what I'm gonna do is implement people's names into the game and you will all watch and comment on the progress made. I feel it'll be fun and really encourage a little roleplay into the community. You can make silly comments to your fellow travelers and either encourage/predict potential outcomes.

I will take the names of anyone who posts on this thread (more specifically those who ask for their names to be used). The names will be picked in order so everyone gets their turn. Leaders will be decided once all 5 slots have been filled. I'll probably use some kind of random name picker to decide the leader of the trip.

If for some odd reason you survive/were the healthiest in your trip, you're automatically placed on the trip next round. Because we all just want to watch you die :3.

Every time I get an update from the game regarding our journey on the trail, I will post a new picture with commentary. I will however avoid stops at landmarks and forts because there really isn't much to see there. Whenever I'm doing a journey, I'll be posting progress at random intervals throughout the day, in order to encourage some comments from you guys.

Rules

• Comments, tips and roleplay are encouraged
• Please respect others
• Do not suggest others without their given permission.
• Have fun!

I used to like facepaint as a kid... A lot!
Back in 1999 I believe.

Joker is a big hit with kids. That baby is very amused.
