A Wrinkle In Time!
Description :
You are part of a group of people who have been abducted by the government, and placed in a large windowless room with one imposing steel door.
In the center of this room is a kind of vest placed on a pedestal. None of you know what to make of it so you leave it alone.
You are given plenty of water, and food that could be considered gourmet, but day after day you are still trapped in this metal box. You fear sooner or later you will go insane.
After what you assume is two weeks, you hear a noise at the single door leading outside the room. Then you see the telltale sparks of welding. You are being sealed into this place....
The next day a voice comes from the ceiling speakers which you just now notice. And it say's. "The Vest Is Your Key To Freedom. Learn what it is or die in this room. You will only be fed for two more days."
Everyone scrambles to the vest to find that inside is a small dial with a digital screen above it. The vest itself is quite heavy, and you assume it is because there are computer components of some kind inside, or it is some kind of bullet proof jacket.
Someone says "What is it?" and another who had introduced himself as Logan Kane says "I dunno but I am putting it on." He flings it around his shoulders and places his arms through the sleeveless sleeves.
You all are afraid that you will lose out on getting freed and just then Logan turns the dial. It reads 2040, and a woman's computerized voice repeats the numbers. "You have chosen twenty-forty. Please standby."
You are confused.....and then the voice returns. "Commencing in 3....2....1.." and suddenly Logan is gone. No flash of light, no boom, just poof.
You are now almost at the edge of despair. Is he the lucky one? Will we all die in this pla.....
Your thought is cut short by the sudden re-appearance of Logan. He is out of breath. Huffing and puffing he says"Damn they were trying to kill me!" He opened the vest and pointed at a red button marked -Recall-. "I'm lucky I pressed that button when I did.......and......."
He looks around at everyone wide eyed.
"I think I was in the future...."

PBeM.
I'm searching best PBeM to play.
I have one but I need another, any idea?
Players wanted for a adult fairly odd parents PBem
This is a adult rpg so no one under 18 need apply. If you apply you are saying you are 18 or old anof go consent to sexual acts. This is set right after poof is born and before timmy's parents find out about his faires. Zack666z@gmail.com
New PBEM question?
I have an idea and have much of the work done involving the layout of my next PBEM campaign...
I have an interesting question though - I want to focus the game around a single individual that first needs to be located and then released. The problem I want to introduce to the players is that his particular character (played by another real person) is psychotic on the extreme but is the key to the success of the campaign.
Is this too much to ask from other players or could/would they learn how to avoid the particular character or perhaps just not set the character off as they require her abilities...
But I want more to the story - at the climatic end of the key event I would want the bond between the characters to be strong enough that they don't just dispose of her after she succeeds in finishing the key event -- I know I can work it so that she is required after the key event is completed but I really don't like handwaving "magic" to solve everything...
Is it possible for a psychotic individual to bond on an outward basis to those that have strived to get that individual to the climatic event? I would not like the psychosis to just fade away, perhaps remnants of it still come to light perhaps...?
I know this is perhaps not the best medium to discuss questions such as these?
Can I harm/kill another player's character?
It would so fit my post to kill off another character. Besides, I never liked it anway! Can I kill it or at least harm it?
Can I change the direction of where the story is going myself?
I don't like what is going on in the current story in our game and I have a much better idea. Can I change the direction of where the story is going myself?
Games
Looking for a game is not as easy as it use to be. I am looking to play in a PBEM game. I have a character all set up I just need a game to place the player in. I am interested in playing a fantasy type game and my character is a merchant that travels with a team of horses delivering to different towns. (At least at this time, always room for improvement.)
What is the optimum number of players for a PBEM game?
Too few players might make the game slow-moving and boring, but too many players might make the game too manic, with too many posts per week, and lots of different storythreads to keep track of.
So what is the optimum number of players in a PBEM game?
What should PBEMPlayers.com do next?
Looking at the comments and other content that is posted to this site, it is obvious that there is a great interest in being able to post ads for games.
We would love to hear your opinion on this! Should game ads be the main focus of this site? If so, what type of features would you like to see?

Code Problem
The site for my RPG is a wiki. (I figured it would be the easiest since I have zero technical knowledge when it comes coding.) Now, I join the link-ring to boost its Google rating. But as part of the membership you have to this 'button'/commercial on your site. Anyway, you should get this nice, neat button/link. But instead, I get this messy bundle of code. I think it's because the site is a wiki and the button is HTML, so....how to if fix this ?
