Title: Death to Adam contest
Post by: misirlou on January 09, 2007, 01:26:00 pm
My friend Adam keeps asking me to put him in the game I'm making, so I finally decided I would have him appear for a few seconds then die somehow as a joke.  :pop:xplod.gif Stan and I decided that itd be fun to make a contest out of it. The person who suggests the funniest way for adam to die gets to be somewhere in the game as a minor character. The way he dies should be as funny as possible, but make sure its not so random it doesnt make any sense. Have fun with it :thumbup:google.gif! the contest will last until i feel like putting it in the game(a looooong while).

P.S. How come the page messes up when I'm viewing threads. It squishes the text so it takes up only the left portion and then runs into the footer so i cant see the end of whatever post its on. Then at the bottom of the footer it keeps going with a new post and continues for a while before ending

Adam is walking across the road, and jumps out of the way of a car about to hit him. The next day, he finds the guy that almost ran him over and tries to run him over. That guy jumps out of the way, and reveals the brick wall hidden behind him. Splat. :Dbiggrin.gif

It might help to know the setting of the RPG. Not all of them happen in distant lands of magic...

He is killed by an angry mob.

Angry mobs are always fun.

Adam dies of asphyxiation, caused by drowning him in cider.

Make him a mini-boss for the game. Have the main character kill him.
Title: Death to Adam contest
Post by: Speler on January 10, 2007, 09:26:00 am
Make him dead in the begining (from the start) and you pull something from his dead hand necicary to complete the game.

One day Adam was practicing his 1337 sword skills. He lost his grip and his arm... well, it never forgave him, and it never came back :Dbiggrin.gif

the car one wasnt bad, but im afraid it does happen to take place in a distant land of magic, so cars wont work. other than that, we havent really made up more than a basic outline for the storyline so pretty much it could take place wherever you want as long as it isnt modern technology. O, and there will be guns.

One day a homeless noboby self-named Adam was walking through an enchanted forest. The path was narrow, but Adam had great balance... Until he sneezed and fell of the path and into the swamp, never to be seen again.

I like this of my ideas most.

Isn't that an oxymoron?

Anyways...

Adam throws up his internal organs after drinking a lethal, mislabled bottle of loogie hawking potion (1 drop recommanded at a time).

When you start the storyline, make it out so it sounds like he is the true hero. Then something bad happens, and the main character takes his place.
Title: Death to Adam contest
Post by: trevmeister66 on January 11, 2007, 10:51:00 am
make him seem like the main character who is going to do something great, but "unfortunatly" has a heart attack, and the new hero is you.
Title: Death to Adam contest
Post by: Radical Pi on January 11, 2007, 11:13:00 am
That idea sounds great.

Post by: trevmeister66 on January 11, 2007, 11:44:00 am
lol if you're talking about mine, THANKS

if you're not...BOO  :Ptongue.gif
Title: Death to Adam contest
Post by: Radical Pi on January 11, 2007, 11:52:00 pm
Both of those ideas are nearly identical so I am.
Maybe not a heart attack, have the pre-game scenes show him fighting the real game's first boss, and he loses/dies/gets eaten (if its a dragon. Dragon eating him sounds funny)

Have him get frisky with the king's daughter, and the king has him hung... :Ptongue.gif

Or rather the kings son :)smile.gif.

the main character idea is great. tip of the hat to fryedsoft and trevmeister.  
Title: Death to Adam contest
Post by: trevmeister66 on January 14, 2007, 03:44:00 pm
iunno, the idea of him getting frisky with the King's daughter (or son) is pretty good.  :Dbiggrin.gif
Title: Death to Adam contest
Post by: Radical Pi on January 15, 2007, 04:54:00 am
You could combine all those ideas you like so much:
The 'main character' left off on his quest to save the world. He got to the capital city and the palace and had some fun with the king's son/daughter/other... The king is furious and hires some scientists to invent a new weapon to be used just for this naughty Adam, thus you have the guns you said were included (but they're still out of place). Just as the king is about to shoot Adam, captain Jack Sparrow comes out of nowhere and rescues him (just for the randomness factor). Then their boat sinks in the middle of the ocean :Dbiggrin.gif

Post by: trevmeister66 on January 15, 2007, 05:05:00 am
haha lol, i like the CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow thing, but the boat shouldn't sink, something else should happen...


Other than that, GREAT IDEA :thumbup:google.gif

*does some thinking*
K, they escape safely to some random island far away from civilization. There they find a tribe of primitive humans with great skillz in magicks and exploding stuff.
Jack tries to bargain with them, to exchange his crew for their secrets of magic. However, in the tribe's own language, "I would like to make a deal with you" meant "There will be placed on your island a curse of doom, unless I can have all your women!" The tribe was angry, and summoned a dragon which ate Jack and the crew, and Adam too.

Not much room to introduce the real main character there...

ok, how about he appears, says "cool i'm in a calculator", then a mime strangles hime with an imaginary lasso
Title: Death to Adam contest
Post by: dinhotheone on January 15, 2007, 10:04:00 am
hehe funny, i think it'd be funny if you just introduced your freind and have his pixel art representation be horribly ugly and fat and just have him killed by the main character because you thought he was a random encounter monster (because he is so ugly)

or he reads a sign to say "cafetaria" or "food" but in the native language of that place it means: "danger, boobytraps ahead dont go this way, it could lead to your death because the boobytraps are set to go off on anyone and anything who ventures in thier general direction, they are very strong."

lol haha that's funny
Make Jack Sparrow the mime!

EDIT: oops, didn't read the one before this before i made this post...
O well

QUOTE
You're Bob. You're a powerful knight. You're in a Royal procession (with fanfare. Think Parade) to escort the heroic Sir Adam to the king so that he can send this decorated war hero to defeat the ultimate evil. You of course dream of one day doing heroic deeds just like Adam.

As you walk Sir Adam to the throne room, he sees the princess, and says he's going to greet malady before being given the King's Royal Decree. He walks into a different room (say the left or the right instead of straight up where the throne room is). Suddenly, the King walks up to you from the off the screen throne room, seemingly furious that Sir Adam Hasn't arrived yet, so he asks you (since you were in charge of bringing him here) where he is (Complete with Yes or no dialog). If you answer No, he threatens you with death until you say yes. If you answer yes, you tell him what just happened.

In a rage the King rushes off into the other room. You hear a struggle with the princess screaming things (think "it?s not his fault! He didn't do anything!" Typical cover up stuff) then silence.

Suddenly, the Blood stained king comes out, somewhat in a stupor. Eventually he comes out of it and realized he just killed the only savior of his Kingdom! Realizing that the populous may riot if word gets out that he killed their only hero, he blames you for dereliction of duty, (since you didn't bring Adam to him first) changes your name from Bob to Adam as punishment and decrees that you go defeat the Ultimate Evil or die by his own hand! You now literally live your dream of living Adam's Life, and not only go to defeat the ultimate evil, but hide the fact that you're not the true hero everyone thinks you now are.

wow... o.oblink.gif  that was... AMAZING

the only thing i thought wasn't great was the part where they change your name to Adam for punishment. Of coarse it makes the rest of the story make sense, but then the Real Adam can say he still was the hero. Maybe i'm just rambling on.

But all in all, that was awsome.  :king:king2.gif

Post by: Fryedsoft on January 16, 2007, 07:38:00 am
I see what you mean there. This thing could basically become "Adam's quest" where one half of the game is fighting the evil and the other is finding out who Adam "really" is. (through other people who "think" you're Adam.)

Although it really wouldn't affect the storyline much if you remove the rename part. (just make the king decree you the new "hero" instead of the new "Adam the hero")

-how about jamie hynamin pours thermite on him?
-how about eve throws a snake on him.
-how about an eva tears his head off and then a odd series of words and sceens involving the main characters occur including some with heavy sexual tones/sounds/dialogs as well as a random portion in which all the main characters have voices done by someone who sounds nothing like the character

(anyone know the last refrence and which episode?)

I watch way too much TV anymore.

-Mybusters - Hindenburg
-Bible - Genesis?
-Neon Genesis Evangelion - The End of Evangeleon movie. Although most of the entire series is covered there.

It's been a personal dream of mine to http://www.directron.com/ballpc.html and paint it so it looks like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angel_%28Neon_Genesis_Evangelion%29#Leliel

wow. umm, Adam will be interested to know that ppl are writing novels about him and you are very creative, but the idea is for him to appear for a short time then die. I dont really want to spend days just on adam's death. right now the mime named jack sparrow kills him at teh beginning when he looks like the main character is winning (mostly cuz im lazy and you dont need much animation for a mime). but great creativity from everyone else whos suggested stuff.
