Oregon Trail Adventures - Firefly Edition #1

Plugged in my Oregon Trail (original) CD and away we go.
I just jotted down the important things for the characters, not every little detail (that'd get boring fast).

Me: Zoe
Party Members: Wash, Simon, River, Mal

Leaving in June.
June 12: River becomes sick with typhoid fever.
June 17: Wash becomes sick with typhoid fever.
June 23: River gets better.
June 25: River is suffering from exhaustion. (WTF)
June 26: We rest for 2 days.
June 28: Wash gets better.
June 28: Three sets of clothing are stolen. (The guys decide to preserve the female modesty and offer Zoe and River the remaining two sets of clothes)
July 5: River gets better.
July 17: Reach Independence Rock. (Zoe and River try to trade things for clothing but nobody has any to spare, apparently.)
July 17: Wash has the measles.
July 18: River has a broken leg. (Probably from excess dancing.)
July 28: Wash gets better.
August 1: Manage to acquire 3 sets of clothing.
August 5: Simon is suffering from exhaustion.
August 6: Wash has cholera. Decide to rest for 2 days.
August 16: Simon gets better.
August 17: Wash and River follow suit and get better.
August 23: We lose the trail for four days. Health is poor.
August 25: River has a fever.
August 27: Rest for two days.
September 3: River gets better.
September 4: Health of everyone is very poor.
September 11: River has a broken arm.
September 14: Wash has dysentery.
September 25: Wash is better.
September 26: River died of dysentery. (WTF)
September 27: Simon has cholera.
September 28: Wash has dysentery.

October 4: We made it!
Total: 3592 points

My favorite part of the whole thing was that Mal and Zoe were totally fine the whole time. Y'know, solders and all. They can deal. xD

BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW THIS IS WHAT THE PURPOSE OF THE GAME IS.



I DEMAND DRABBLES. ICONS. SOMETHING. ANYTHING. GO.
Although srs, little pixel Oregon Trail wagon with something next to it would be epic. Text: "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die?" would be hilar.
(PS: and if you do use this for anything, all I ask is a little credit and post it here, that'd be awesome.)

River died of dysentery, because River is a whore.

Excuse me.

That's not how dysentery is transmitted.

Unless the 'intercourse' was with dirty water and the entrance was oral and... Wait, don't we all do that everyday?

Hey, it reflects canon

[identity profile] shinydinosaur.livejournal.com 2010-11-04 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
I'm more happy about her not dying because that would mean I did and then game over.

[identity profile] maridee42.livejournal.com 2010-11-04 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
AND YOU DID NOT INCLUDE KAYLEE.

*BIG NO*

[identity profile] shinydinosaur.livejournal.com 2010-11-04 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
DUDE. IHADNOCHOICE.

It only let me pick 4 people. This is the original Trail, dude. I think OTII lets me add 5-6.

[identity profile] maridee42.livejournal.com 2010-11-04 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
LOL AMAZING.

[identity profile] chosenfire28.livejournal.com 2010-11-04 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
CLEARLY MAL AND ZOE ARE BADASSES!

[identity profile] maridee42.livejournal.com 2010-11-04 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
KAYLEE WOULD BE AMAZING AND KEEP YOUR WAGON IN GOOD ORDER AND EVERYONE ELSE FROM GETTING DOWN BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY CLOTHES. FOR REALZ.

On the other hand, you do have that Tv Tropes icon...

[identity profile] shinydinosaur.livejournal.com 2010-11-04 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
Mmmmhm. Made by the awesome [livejournal.com profile] arqueete. Go love on her and all her icons. Plzkthx.

It's probably a good thing that I didn't have a decent enough computer to play this game back when it was shiny and new. I have enough hurt/comfort buttons as is. This would have exacerbated them like whoa.

[identity profile] shinydinosaur.livejournal.com 2010-11-04 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
Lololol the version I'm playing is like, 1.21. 1997 PC game and the Mac version is even older.

[identity profile] goddamnrivertam.livejournal.com 2010-11-04 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
Please.

If this were real, Simon would have died first.

[identity profile] shinydinosaur.livejournal.com 2010-11-04 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
You'd let him die first? o_o

[identity profile] goddamnrivertam.livejournal.com 2010-11-04 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't let him. But you know how he gets into trouble.
