Death or Paradise ~ Winner's Post

A little over a month ago I began a game called Death or Paradise in which there were four rounds to. I had the basis in mind when I started but do to the different approaches each player took I ended up pretty much winging each round after the first. There was such an assortment of personalities each round that I was left creating a new path for every round.

The game was meant to get to know as much about each person from the outside looking in as possible. Each round made them produce a story or answer a selection of choices based off of my proposed questions. I let the game play out as it did as each person interpreted each round in their own way. I wrote intro's and proposed a simple question after each story.  I was more or less playing the game each round myself with each entry I did for each rounds post. 

I was viewed as the story teller and each person choose to either follow my lead or venture off on their own. There were no wrong answer's. It was about starting something and finishing it and being as creative as possible each week and learning something about each person. Most people reveled their sex, location, occupation, likes and dislikes, favorite foods, people they looked up to, their ages, their religion and so much more.  I am not sure many even were aware of what they were telling without directly stating these things.

Round one was designed to see what people would do if given the choice to live in a world where all other life had perished and try to rebuild or if they would just try to live out their days as happy as possible. It also told their likes, small pleasures they found via books and food. The type of person they wished to have at the worlds end; friends or workers. What items they would bring to make life easier. Rather they would over look short term survival while focusing on long term rebuilding. Each person brought their personal preferences and personality to round one. Someone brought a freaking Genie and replicator so I had to change the beginning of round 2 in order to fix this issue.

Round two was a sort of trick round. I don't think anyone caught the fact that all man made objects no longer existed. This really meant that the Earth was plentiful and void of radiation and toxic junk. This was meant to be viewed as paradise after the fall of humanity. Many accounted for what would have been left on the planet had all things man made not have vaporized. This made round two take a completely different path of responses than I had envisioned. 

Round three was completely made up on the spot as I wrote the post. I ended my post, which was my entry into Round two to open the topic for round 3.  Basically I wanted to see who had picked up on the fact that I was also playing the game the same as you. I had not entered answer's into round 1 so I had to compensate for arriving solo. I had quite the time writing myself in after I forgot to do round one. As I arrived in the ship alone but left it open to interpretation the round 3 entries took some major twist and turns I had not expected. I was mated with, killed and a few other things which made round 4 a new challenge for me.

So the final round, this was where research came in to play. I was looking up something for a different post I was working on and came across this website http://www.deadlysins.com/ while I was researching. As I was looking around I clicked on this link http://www.deadlysins.com/castaways/ from the website. I died laughing at the view of this website on this show that I watched as reruns as a kid. This was a perspective I had never thought of before coming across this link. Looking back it actually made sense and I decided to use it for the basis of round 4. 

I valued every entry submitted, I made it a trick choice to decide the winner of the entire game but tried to reward everyone with votes round 1 and 2, wallet transfers round 3 and bought votes for everyone in round 4. But based on what I was using to determine the final winner, the winner is @gaboroa14 for not becoming one of the 7 deadly sins nor the vessel which carried them. Everyone did such an awesome job writing each week I knew I had to make it not my choice in the end who won. 

I hope everyone enjoyed the game, found some new authors to follow and learned a little about me as well. I hope to see you all in a new game soon.
