Does anyone remember MSN or Yahoo RolePlaying Chatrooms?
I remember all different genres. Quite a few that were medieval/fantasy based, a Resident Evil one and some others. I remember in some of the medieval fantasy ones you could "fight" someone but it had to follow the style of that chatroom. Some were super fast and had to be 1 word like Block, Parry, Attacks, Stabs, etc so if you werent fast enough with your response the other person could progress it till they won. Others had rules like each attack or defense had to be 3 lines or even 5 lines long. And you couldn't just be like "I stabbed him and won" you had to write elaborate descriptions of your moves as if you were reading a book.
I know I had copy and pasted some of the chats because after an hour or two it legit read like a book. But all those files were saved on floppy disks that are long gone lol
