Posted By: Tarkas New Game -- "Good News, Bad News" - 02/25/06 04:24 PM
We've had a lot of fun with the corrupted wishes game, but it seems to be winding down, so I thought I'd see if people were up for another one. This one is taken from that most excellent radio show I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue -- "the antidote to panel games," as it describes itself.

The idea is simple: players alternate statements beginning with "Good news" and "Bad news"; obviously, the statements have to be connected, making a sort of plot (connected to L&C, one would hope), and preferably funny. I'll give you an example:

"Good news! Lex Luthor's dead."
"Bad news: it was only one of his clones."
"Good news: it was the last of his clones."
"Bad news: he can make more."
"Good news: he's run out of frogs and can't get any more of them."
"Bad news: he's discovered how to use leeches instead."
"Good news: leech-clones are easy to spot, because they're all covered in slime."
"Bad news: that still means he can clone politicians."

...and so on. I think you get the idea. Up for it? Let's start right from the beginning, shall we?

Good news: Perry White just made Lois and Clark partners.

Over to you, FoLCs!

Phil, who'd have suggested "Mornington Crescent", but the Infinite Crisis is warping the Metropolis Subway network again. Blasted reality shifts... wink

Bad news: Clark hates Lois.

Yes, I went for the twist. evil

Good News: But it is only the result of a misunderstanding.
Posted By: HatMan Re: New Game -- "Good News, Bad News" - 03/02/06 09:58 PM
Bad news: Clark won't talk to Lois about the misunderstanding because he can't hear (let alone say) the words "Luthor," "wedding," and "love" in the same sentence.

Good news: I just saved a bunch of mone -- oops. Never mind. Not my turn.
Posted By: minimunch3 Re: New Game -- "Good News, Bad News" - 03/03/06 07:45 AM
Good news: A lovely woman by the name of Mayson Drake happened along and has no trouble talking with Clark and taking his mind of Lois and Lex.

devil Ya know, I'm not sure if this qualifies as good news. But I think I'll leave it anyway.

See ya,
AnnaBtG.

Bad News: After being with Mayson, Clark realises he's gay.
Posted By: Crazy_Babe Re: New Game -- "Good News, Bad News" - 03/16/06 05:48 AM
Good news Clark only said that to get rid of Mayson so he can be with Lois
Posted By: Anonymous Re: New Game -- "Good News, Bad News" - 03/16/06 06:23 PM
Bad News: Luthor is gay and isn't just saying that he's gay in order to get rid of someone, he knows The Secret, wants Superman, and has Krytonite.....
Posted By: minimunch3 Re: New Game -- "Good News, Bad News" - 03/16/06 07:09 PM
Good News: Lois spills the beans about Lex, and being the most eligible bachelor in Metropolis again since Lois is out of the picture, Lex is swarmed by guys who want to be with him. Since he is otherwise occupied, evil kryptonite master plan is off and Clark is free to be with Lois.

Long, I know. blush Sorry.

~Kristen
Posted By: DocJill Re: New Game -- "Good News, Bad News" - 03/16/06 11:32 PM
Bad news: The swarm of guys after Lex have now joined him in his "Kill Lois, so I can have Superman all to myself" plot.

Jill (okay, so that's the name of MY secret club, but y'know, I'm willing to share with Lex just this once.) wink
Posted By: Mona Re: New Game -- "Good News, Bad News" - 03/18/06 03:57 AM
Good News: Clark hired an elephant to protect her. wink
Posted By: Tarkas Re: New Game -- "Good News, Bad News" - 03/21/06 01:31 AM
Bad News: Luthor's favourite rare book shop just called -- they finally found a copy of that ancient Indo-Aryan tome 101 Things To Do With A Friendly Elephant Or An Elephant You'd Like To Become Friendly With (it's more succinct in Sanskrit). laugh

(I'm beginning to think this thread will need to go to the nfic folder.... blush wink )

Phil
Posted By: Crazy_Babe Re: New Game -- "Good News, Bad News" - 03/22/06 05:53 AM
Good News: Clark had Lois' elephant ram raid the shop and had the elephant chew the book up before giving it to Luthor so now all that's left is a tiny piece of the cover. Oh and did I also mention that Luthor can't read Sanskrit?
Posted By: Anonymous Re: New Game -- "Good News, Bad News" - 03/24/06 06:40 PM
Bad news: Luthor got so depressed because of his confusion over his being gay and yet loving Lois that he killed himself and ruined our little soap opera. And there are no clones, he can't be bought back and he had no children as he was in his words "the only gay in Metropolis....."
Good news: Tempus came around, so the game can go on laugh

See ya,
AnnaBtG.
Posted By: Crazy_Babe Re: New Game -- "Good News, Bad News" - 03/25/06 06:23 AM
Bad News: HG Wells says that Tempus has messed with time one too many times and brings us back to the point of Lex's suicide.
Posted By: JenniJac Re: New Game -- "Good News, Bad News" - 03/26/06 11:31 PM
Good News: Lex's death has brought Lois & Clark closer together.
Bad news: ...as friends.

See ya,
AnnaBtG.

Bad news: The thread is dead and the fun is finished. Game Over. Done. End of.
Good News: Of course, CatBru never really paid attention to 'The End.'
Posted By: Cherry Re: New Game -- "Good News, Bad News" - 04/22/06 06:32 AM
Bad News: It was "The End of the road" Catherine didn't pay attention to...and she suddenly ran out of road.

Sorry Catherine! goofy
Good news: Superman was there to save her.

AnnaBtG. smile
*giggles*

AAIIEeeee!! *I got the Bridge Scene of Monty Python and the Holy Grail stuck in my head wink *

Bad News: Catherine put her foot in her mouth and asked him to marry her...
Posted By: Crazy_Babe Re: New Game -- "Good News, Bad News" - 04/22/06 03:53 PM
Bad News: He told you he was already married
Posted By: Anonymous Re: New Game -- "Good News, Bad News" - 04/22/06 08:04 PM
Good News: He's leaving Lois for you......
*Oooo me's liking this! ^_^*

Good News: Superman can always hide you somewhere.
Posted By: Tarkas Re: New Game -- "Good News, Bad News" - 04/27/06 01:14 AM
Bad News: Wherever Superman can hide you, Ultra Woman can find you. evil
Posted By: Cherry Re: New Game -- "Good News, Bad News" - 04/27/06 02:02 AM
Good News: UltraWoman lost her powers a while ago.
Posted By: Matrix Re: New Game -- "Good News, Bad News" - 04/27/06 04:48 AM
Bad News: Dr. Klein knows how to rebuild the machine that turned her into Ultra Woman.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: New Game -- "Good News, Bad News" - 04/28/06 07:24 PM
Good News: He can't make Lois into UW without Superman and as he's shacked up with you in a secret location in Hawaiei (sp?) you're safe...
Posted By: Anonymous Re: New Game -- "Good News, Bad News" - 04/28/06 07:35 PM
Bad News: Superman gets attacked and killed by Lana Lang/Martha Kent with kryptonite because she can't stand having undergone the rather sick transformation from girlfriend to mother....

Is anyone else sick of Smallville yet, or is it just me?

On a serious note, bad news: Clark is sick after looking at your "Emerald Collection"....
Posted By: ladyluck1128 Re: New Game -- "Good News, Bad News" - 04/29/06 10:25 AM
I'm taking the 2nd bad news.

Good News: You get to "nurse" him back to health.
WOOHOO!!!

I'd contribute, but I'm having too much fun in my nurse's outfit!
Posted By: Cherry Re: New Game -- "Good News, Bad News" - 04/30/06 10:05 AM
Bad News: You have no idea how to nurse him back to health.
Good news: His Kryptonian nature catches up, and he gets well on his own.

See ya,
AnnaBtG.
Posted By: Tarkas Re: New Game -- "Good News, Bad News" - 05/02/06 06:42 AM
Bad news: though recovering fast, he's hallucinating, and he thinks that Lois is the one who nursed him back to health... and he's grateful. evil
Posted By: rivka Re: New Game -- "Good News, Bad News" - 05/02/06 07:10 AM
(Wait, why is that bad news?)
Posted By: Crazy_Babe Re: New Game -- "Good News, Bad News" - 05/03/06 04:38 AM
Good News: Dr. Friskin helps him see otherwise :p
Posted By: Matrix Re: New Game -- "Good News, Bad News" - 05/03/06 07:12 AM
Bad News: Dr. Friskin reminds him how much Lois cares for him, even if she wasn't the one who nursed him back to health. Maybe she can help him through this.
Posted By: Anonymous Re: New Game -- "Good News, Bad News" - 05/03/06 09:37 PM
GoodNews: Lois has run off with a Mr D. Thorn, who works his mojo on her after he tires of her babbling.....

Bad News: Clark is suicidal with guilt now....

Good News: You get to "help" him trhough it.....


And an extra 10 points for the first person to tell me who DT is, and his first name, and prove that you didn't use the internet to find the answer, although any other means of research is fine. Just a small challenge for you all......
Posted By: Tarkas Re: New Game -- "Good News, Bad News" - 05/06/06 04:54 AM
Bad News: Clark has just flown off and rescued Lois from Thorn.
Posted By: ladyluck1128 Re: New Game -- "Good News, Bad News" - 05/08/06 08:49 PM
Good News: It's not really a bad thing after all, and Lois & Clark are happily reunited (and it feels so good) . wink
Posted By: Matrix Re: New Game -- "Good News, Bad News" - 05/09/06 06:46 AM
Bad News: If you want Lois and Clark to be happy together, you're going to have to give up your Clark fantasy.
Good news: I find the clone, he's still alive, and we skip off to live happily ever after bwaha!
(AND I get to be happy with one of my favorite couples! YAY!!)
Posted By: Tarkas Re: New Game -- "Good News, Bad News" - 05/12/06 01:40 PM
Bad news: the clone is one of those with a very short lifespan. whinging
Posted By: Matrix Re: New Game -- "Good News, Bad News" - 05/12/06 01:49 PM
Good News: Dr. Klein is on the verge of finding a way to fix his DNA and give him a longer life span (unlike poor Lois clone).
