Alright, so this board has already seen a lot of story threads, but as time passed on, the stories which they fathered all deteriorated in quality, and the original idea (creating a STORY, not just a string of random words) got buried. Hence I'm proposing the solution of introducing two simple rules:
Every participant writes a whole sentence, which must follow continuity of the presented plot, and ...
Discussion and even the alteration of previous entries is encouraged!
tl;dr: Everybody takes turns to write a complete sentence. But make your part count in the context of the story, don't just spew random words.

(As you can see, I erased TheIceManV's last post. Why? I didn't like it. And it makes no sense that it was shut down when the previous sentence states that he used it ... Everyone has the right to do that, for the sake of quality of the text.)
