shinydinosaurPlugged 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.)

C.) RANDOM MISHAP
Date: 2010-11-04 04:16 am (UTC)"Just in time for the Sabbath Boss."
Mal threw her a look. "We ain't Jew folk or anything resembling 'chosen ones'. You've been talking with that chieftain too much."
"Everyone deserves a bit of rest Boss."
"Not everyone embarks on this forsaken trail. Well...that's how it used to be at least. I was thinkin' 'bout actually staying in Oregon this time. Quiet there, not too much folk, and most of them take a lifetime to rest the trail out of them. What do you think Zoe?"
"Where ever you go Boss."
"Hum. Wonder what Wash would say to that." He walked over and dragged the deer behind him. "Heavier than I remember..." He grunted.
"Need help Boss?"
Mal motioned to her as she helped him drag back the game. As they headed back they saw a fast moving figure running past.
"Ooh!" Mal exclaimed excitedly as he started to set the deer back down.
"Boss?"
"Shh Zoe! I'm about to take home a little present for our young doctor." He chuckled to himself as he got out his gun.
"You...know 'what' that is; right Boss?"
"Uh-huh..." He nodded as he took careful aim...

"I *told* you we needed at least 12 bars of soap!" Simon called out from a distance.
"Stop yapping until you find a cure for this Doc!"
"It's not a disease!"
"It's poison!"
"It...should wear off? It's not like something like this is in any of my books."
"Could've sacrificed your books for soap since you were so insistent on bringing that."
Simon rolled his eyes, "You're the one who said we needed them for firewood..." He leaned back and sighed as a flash of tangled hair flew past him. "R-River!"
River peaked over Mal's shoulder as he sat in the washtub. "...Can I help you?"
River crinkled her nose as him. "You've been tainted by the presence of malice."
"Oh ha ha."
She walked around and stared him straight in the eye, "It clouds around you pulling you in every direction. Always backwards. You should listen to it."
Mal gave her an odd look as Simon, with a handkerchief wrapped around the lower part of his face, ran up to get her. "C'mon River. Let's leave the guide alone."
River just shrugged and pranced away.
Mal watched them go then sat back looking at the sky. "Damn skunks."
