REVISED: Systems Wars short stories and novels, via Personification

REVISED: I have added a short, somewhat interactive, novel that i'm going to write. Please scroll down 12 post till you see my red wall of text, that's the Introduction. I'm planning on writing a short story with 8 chapters that is inspired by all of gaming since its beginning. In that post below is merely the Introduction with more detailed instructions. If you want to see the story come to life then this thread has to be in the top two pages of the every 24 hours period with 5 personified stories by the users here, as described in the OP, this post below. The short story i am writing is using the same principle of personification but with a little more class than my first post. END OF REVISION

Personifying something is adding human attributes to an inanimate object. Like saying the "mountainsclaps its hands or the windwispersmy name." Now we are going to chose any gaming platforms you want to make a true story veild in a fiction story using personified consoles, meaning they will take the roll of a person in that story. Then, the posters below needs to try and interpret the meaning.

The writers of the stories are free to reveal their true meaning at any time. The story you tell can be fiction or non-fiction but it needs to represent a non-fiction truth veiled inside. The person, the gaming system that it is personifying, needs to be in bold, and italic, with parentheses next to it identifying the system its personifying. Also, you can personify other things that helps make your story (e.g. games).I'll do mine first in case this is confusing anyone. And just for fun, the stories you try to interpret you can rate from 1-10 for humor, creativity or the truth found in them.

Here's my story:

Today, i came home early from work. I found my wife (Xbox 360) cheating on me with the mailman(Subscriptions fees, cost of games, ect.)I was outraged. I wanted to smash her face in and leave her for good but i had the kids (Xbox 360 games, DLC, gamer score, friends list, etc) to think about. I had to call one of my closest friends(PS3) to pick me up and calm me down. We've been good friends since high school and we actually dated each other way back then, more than 10 years ago. My wife never got jealous of our friendship because I was friends with her even before my wife and i first started dating. Well, something unexpected happen when she was consoling me. The old feelings i had for her started to come back all over again, but much more passionately.

After a week, I went back to my wife but things aren't the same. I'm now cheating on her with my best friend and my wife and I are no longer intimate (paying money for DLC's, movies, other media lol) and really are not on the best speaking terms atm. However, I'm there for the kids. Mean while my time between my kids and my best friend is completely split. I never new how much my closestfriend has evolved in life. She does some amazing things in bed (PSN+), let me tell you. However, my kids matter just as much as my own happiness so i find myself in this love triangle, between tolerating my wife so i can spend time with the kids, and sneaking off to be with my new girlfriend, who used to be my best friend.

Ok, i'm done. I have no idea if anyone else finds this stuff entertaining but it can be if people participate. I'm not very good at these things but i enjoy what other people do. I just did the above story so ya'll know what i'm talking about. So, interpret my story, rate it, follow the guidelines i set up above and then do your own story with personification. In turn, i'll rate and try to interpret yours. Lets have fun while we put some humor here on system wars.

= ) It would definitely be an improvement. :P

What teh fvck is this sh!t :?

Once upon a time there was a little boy. The little boy was not very strong, but he was defiantly special. He could do things that no one else could. One day the little boy was walking down a lush green path in search of food. Eventually the path led him to a village. As the boy approached the small town he noticed two large men. The two men were very strong and ruled over the small village. Everyone's eyes were on them. Desperate for food the little boy displayed his unique power by manipulating the environment around him with his hands. Suddenly the entire village diverted their attention to the boy. The boy was now the star of the little village. For many years the two big strong men tried to regain their former glory, but their attempts proved futile. 6 years later the two strong men managed to replicate the boys power, but at a much lower level. It was too late. The little boy had already won over the entire village, and the villagers could care less for some knockoff. A few villagers did decide to follow the two big men, but it was never the same. Thus ends the story of the little boy who wasn't very strong, but was very special. :P

Well maybe i can give a shot at a short story to add some spice to this thread. Your job is to figure out what consoles represent certain characters. Hint. The consoles that are going to be portrayed in this story as characters are: Xbox, Xbox 360, PS2, PS3, Wii, WiiU, PC. 3DS and PS Vita. There will also be some consoles that are referred to that i wont mention here, people will be free to speculate to piece this puzzle together and attempt to solve the mystery. I've never attempted creative writing before but if its any good, which i highly doubt it will be, then i'll continue with 8 chapters after this Introduction. If it happens to capture anyone interst i will continue the story. The only way i will continue it is if people are coming up with their own stories as describe in the OP and are keeping the thread alive. This story is planned to be 8 chapters after the Introduction found below. Here I will only provide a brief introduction. Basically, the entire story is inspired by all things encompassing gaming in a medieval land.

If this is a story you'd like to see fleshed out past the Introduction then the only requirement is that this thread needs to stay alive! The servant who is writing it is developing it in secrecy. If this thread dies then he dies! He will have been caught and put to death. And will never return to tell the story :P This thread must remain in the first two pages for it to continue. If it is goes past the 2nd page by this time tomorrow he has died and the full 8 chapters will not even been started. And merely bumping to bump will not be accepted. There must be at least 5 other created stored each day for 8 days for me to complete this short story inspired by all of gaming.

If this happens, i'm an epic failure and ill let this idea die. i'll go back to what i should have been doing anyway, playing games, and never attempt to bring creativity to System Wars again ;) lol. Thus, here begins the introduction.

The title of this short story is:

Everyone Matters, Is a Lie...

Introduction

Once an upon a time, in a far away land during a distant time, there was a noble family that rose to power, was blessed with wealth and exercised their influence over the land with varying degrees of diplomacy, propaganda and all out war, which bore fruit into an Empire. These are the untold stories from with-in the walls of the castle that no commoner or any other noble family will know as common historical knowledge.

This is written from the hand of the chief-executive servant in the castle. The material that has been consolidated into a comprehensive work has been provided from several servant's accounts provided from working in various vocations through the Kingdom. Hence, this work systematically provides a look into the heart of the Kingdom's most important figures lives, even parts of the royal family are oblivious to certain truths that exist with-in there own walls which I will record here. The servants and I, may have been selected to perform the most mundane task of carrying out basic functions for Kings, Queens, Princes', Princess', ect, yet, we were the ones that had the a certain level of trust with our masters that they confided to us with their inter most thoughts. The transparency some of the royal family displayed to our servants must have been motivated from a need to bare certain burdens with-out the fear of judgment or reprisal. Also, our master's must have felt secure in bestowing such knowledge among some of us cause the idea that a mere servant would document or even repeat things said in private was a foregone conclusion, since it would surly mean if words were caught passing from our lips to another person it would be certain death.

Even though this work provides a glimpse into the heart of the Royal Empire, it can in no way, be considered all encompassing. Remember, that the story is composed of some intimate encounters with Royalty, however, it also is conjured up with eavesdropping into conversations while only being able to hear one side of a conversation and among other things observing situations unfold from a distance. This work will provide an eclectic account of known historical events that will be fleshed out with testimony from the inside. Granted, what historical significance does this work have? Is a question that was raised to me by my close friend. I responded to her by saying this is the last service I can provide to my masters. Through all the trails and tribulations the family has endured through the ages, I think it is important for not only their mere deeds to be recorded but all the motivations as well as the emotional aspects to be put into focus within the context. Thus, the great deeds themselves will be remember cause of what us common people can relate with. Simply, human being emotions that transcend all civil and economic boundaries.

Henceforth, I will outline the desired contents of this work. Chapter 1, Will be entitled "The Rise of a King;" Chapter 2 will review the relationship of the King's spouse in "Long Live the Queen;" Chapter 3, reviews the growth of the Kings offspring in "The Heirs;" Chapter 4, we will examine "The Turmoil With-In" where we explore struggles for power, conspiracies and betrayals with-in the Royal Family. Chapter 5 will focus into the memory of an Heir who was slain which will be entitled "The Lost One;" In Chapter 6 I'll explore the development of the three remaining heirs in "Growth Spurts." In chapter 7 we will examine "Truths Hidden with-in the Present;" and finally we will close in chapter 8 with "What Does the Future Hold?"

This will be a very delicate process, This is an ongoing process and do not have the time nor resources to do all this work in one sitting. I'm still conducting secert interviews to complete this work. These correspondences is being delivered through a secret network of informant's piece by piece that want the truth to be recorded. If i am caught, i'll be put to death. And what i have finished will be the only remaining insight into the Techspot Dynasty, with-in the land of Siren Wolts.

Once upon a time there was a very stupid topic.

It was this topic.

The end.

Actually it was about the Wii vs the PS360. I thought the "weak boy", "two strong men", and "manipulating the environment around him with his hands" would make it clear. The villagers were sales, and the replicated powers were kinect and move. :P This is why I don't write lolz.

Oh, what the hell. The young man had recently made the big leap into his adult life, and moved away from home. Their was nothing wrong with his home life, it was just getting slow and the man felt it was time to begin his own journey through the world. He kept in touch with home, even visiting for birthdays and holidays. Shortly after moving out, he began seeing an attractive, older co-worker. Their relationship blossomed, even though the young woman was loose with the finances and demanded quite a lot from him, he enjoyed his time with her quite a lot. Several happy years went by, and the relationship isn't what it once was. They were drifting apart. During this time, the young man had gained interest in another co-worker. Younger and less demanding than the other woman, even a little more attractive to look at. They had flirted a few times until one evening the man came home to find his long time girlfriend had suddenly left him, for a younger, less serious man. The young man refused to believe it at first, going so far as to hold onto a necklace of hers in secret that she had forgot to grab. Eventually, he felt more free to pursue this other woman. This new woman was just as magic once a relationship was established, and sometimes more so, since she was sure to give him as much attention as he gave to her. There were times he longed for his old flame. Her laugh, or her touch. They tried to reconnect a few times as friends but it wasn't the same if he wasn't buying things and courting her. He grew to appreciate his new girlfriend even more than his last one, and once and for all, discarded the necklace he had kept for so long. He lived his life happily from then on. No, I'm not explaining that (hell, not sure what compelled me to write it). Their are references to all the consoles though, if you can figure out which is which.darkspineslayer

The two men were very strong and ruled over the small village. Aleken

Edit: And the reason i don't want you to do that is cause it takes away the excitment of this thread dieing, and, if it dies accrding to my rules i will be let off the hook from writing an eight chapter short story :) but seriously please dont. And just so you know that these one liners you are doing will not save the thread if thats what your up to. There has to be 5 legit short stories 24 hours from the time i wrote my introduction. As of now there is 1 and 4 more legit one are needed. So, if you want to help grab your main and follow the rules plz.

Given the demography of this thread, companies still in the business as at present, it is safe to assume most people started with Nintendo Snes(this could be childhood love or puppylove) and then move onto PlayStation1 and 2 (High school lover) and then the Xbox360 (the wife). These are your tools to play with TC. Now make re-edit your lovers affair.

You're just as bad as the Xbox 360, scum of the earth. What about your games and dlc? Think about what you're doing to them. That filthy PS3 trash is cold-hearted as well if it knows what's going on.

Edit: For the record, what the mailman was giving your wife was better than what your best friend is giving you. Boo yah!
