RP Haven - Hall of Fame - A You-Make-The-Choices Story

You're walking down the road, minding your own business, when suddenly a strange old man sells you a formula that will make you invisible! In order for it to work, though, you need to gather some ingredients, and that's easier said than done. Started by Multiball on Sunday, November 13, 2005, and finished on Sunday, December 11, 2005, this story is the first successful RP to use the "three-choices" system on the VGRP boards.

Trilroy	Ah, this was a fun RP. I'm not sure I'll ever be able to express how much it helped me. At the time, I had pretty much lost inspiration in all of the RPs I was in. A You-Make-The-Choices Story helped me out of that rut, just because it was an easy RP to post to. Besides, who DOESN'T want to write about Swedish terrorists? ^_^ Trilroy was the tenth person to join the RP. He wrote 22.79% of the story, doing so in eighteen posts.
Multiball	I'm very proud of this little project because it's the first thing I've been into here or VGMusic that finished. I still don't call it an RP because it wasn't really, it was more of an "interactive story." But I'm still glad it all worked out. Trilroy is a random humor genius. Why? Because his stuff all makes sense. Multiball created A You-Make the Choices Story, and was thus the first person to join. He wrote 21.24% of the story, doing so in sixteen posts.
Horn	I'm sure the idea was thought about before, but Multiball was the one to actually bring it forth, and it made for an excellent little break amongst the serious RPs. I guess I have it to thank for bringing me back into RPing again...<_< And the Swedish Al-Qaeda cracked me up every time they were brought into the story. I had a great time of fun joining into this story. Horn was the second person to join the RP. He wrote 13.80% of the story, doing so in seven posts.
Wizard	I think this is the second-funniest RP I've ever been in. VGMusic RPG 4.5 beats it only because because of "Toki-Oh!" (which, by the way, I tried to include). Certain points in it wanted me to rename it in my head to "YTMND RPG", because there were so many relations to fads in this story. And though I never actually saw The Road Warrior, I put some delightful Mad Max references in the story. I would strongly advise any newcomer to read this. The only problem I had, though, is at several parts, I thought I almost killed the RP with my stupidity in randomness. Wizard was the eleventh person to join A You-Make-The-Choices Story. He wrote 11.81% of the story, doing so in ten posts.
Matthias	Wow. How very unique and random this RP was. It dragged on a little at the end, but it was consistently funny in a "what-the-hell" sort of way. My favorite gags would probably be the Swedish Al-Qaeda gags, such as drinking the Kool-Aid man. (Trust me, it makes sense when you read the RP.) I thought it was unique that the hero was never referred to as more than "You", however. Matthias was the third person to join this RP. He wrote 9.94% of the story, doing so in twelve posts.
Mr. Snowguy	Being part of the You-Make-The-Choices Story was really something else. The constant referrals to pop culture and engrossment in comedy made this RP very enjoyable. While it wasn't exactly a dramatic RP, nor was it especially long, I'm very happy that I was a part of this RP. It was a new idea, we tried it, and enjoyed it. Thanks a lot for starting it, Multiball! Mr. Snowguy was the eighth person to join the RP. He wrote 4.47% of the story, doing so in seven posts. He now goes by the name Snowguy.

Armageddan	This was a neat idea of Multiball's, and although it started dragging on near the end, it was a lot of fun. Nice job, everyone. Armageddan was the fifth person to join the RP. He wrote 3.15% of the story, doing so in three posts. He now goes by the name Trauma Advocate.

Thalzon	This RP did something new for people on the boards who just love to write whatever they like. The RP had a very solid premise that many found enjoyable, and even though I didn't post much to it, I did read it until it ended. A fun short story that didn't put any pressure on people to keep up with it. Thalzon was the seventh person to join A You-Make-The-Choices Story. He wrote 1.99% of the story, doing so in two posts. He now goes by the username Corey.
Ralvuimego	A You-Make-The-Choices Story (hereafter RP A) was an unusual adventure, unique for this RP board (hereafter VGRP). [RP A] was a little too random for my tastes; some members (hereafter RPers) took it as purely humorous, and involved such characters as the Taco Nazi. All in all, [RP A] was a great adventure with fine [RPers] and deserves it's place in [VGRP]'s Hall of Fame (hereafter Ricky-land). Ralvuimego was the ninth person to join the RP. He wrote 1.35% of the story, doing so in two posts.
Armadox	Armadox was unavailable for comment. He was the thirteenth person to join A You-Make-The-Choices Story, and wrote 1.28% of the story, doing so in one post.
Chozodianreturns	I like the RP as a whole and believe that in a time of slow-moving RPs in VGRP, it's just what we needed to sort of break the monotony. It has many interesting plot twists, as well. I think that this RP deserves to be in the Hall of Fame because it was a fresh idea to make the general quality of the boards better. Chozodianreturns was the fourteenth, and last, person to join the RP. He wrote 1.12% of the story, doing so in one post.
