Let's play Oregon Trail!

[Fish and Chips]

This trip seemed a lot shorter on the post office wall.



And by that we mean 57 guys named Miles spaced sporadically across, coincidentally, 57 miles.



Homosexuals must be native to this region.



Ooh, they installed a new viewfinder. Put a quarter in.



At least they've got well manicured lawns.



This guy doesn't even have a name. They could at least give him a name.

Unless it's Aunt Rebecca Sims. Again.



Hey kids, it's a river. Remember when we used to have rivers? I remember those days. Those were good days.

Good days.

Oh no a broken wagon wheel whatever will we-



That online carpentry union may have been the best decision of my entire life.



But don't bust out the champagne just yet.

I like the fact those deer are right there, not even afraid of these crazy settlers in wagons coming to take their land and eat them.

Anyway, glad to see you're making some progress along the trail. And that no more people (or oxen) have died yet.

[Fantasy Dreamer]

SO MUCH SUSPENSE. Here's hoping the next one to bite the dust is another oxen. They are unimportant.

Right! Because you can always hook two of the remaining wagon members up to pull the wagon! XD ... and you can eat oxen...

[Peanut]

We all died that day Fish...we all died that day...

[Ante Bellum]

Ante still thinks that you are all going to die.

[Mr. Hat'n'Clogs]

Right! Because you can always hook two of the remaining wagon members up to pull the wagon! XD ... and you can eat oxen...

You can eat humans too, it's just frowned upon in most societies...

[Mithrandir]

You can eat humans too, it's just frowned upon in most societies...

Donner, party of 50... Your table is ready!

But seriously, by definition, if it takes 4 days, it's not IMPASSIBLE. It's HARD TO PASS.

[Nate]

Unless the game meant you spent two days going down a trail, found it to be impassable, and thus were forced to spend two days going back thus wasting four days...

[Ante Bellum]

Or you fainted, and people had to carry everything you own around for four days until you came to, at that point wasting precious time and resources.

[Etoh*the*Greato]

If I fainted in the wilderness and got carried around by strangers for four days, I can guarantee they didn't have my well-being in mind.

[Whitefang]

I think it means you spent 4 days trying to get around the impassible section of trail, or spent 4 days waiting for conditions to improve, like waiting for a flooded trail to recede.

[Myoti]

That's a long time to use Another One Bites the Dust.

I know this was an older post, but... I'm not the only one that got that... am I? :,C

Isn't it sad Rohan?

Are Indiana Jones references still culturally relevant?



...

The river is RIGHT there you guys.



We're a regular rolling pharmacy by now.



The sorrows of all the men whose lives you have enduh huh what wait oh wrong game.



This-

This cliff wasn't on the world map.

Must have installed it while my back was turned.



Okay. OKAY.

We are doing this you guys.

We are making this happen.



Well at least that's a reasonable depth to drown in.

Eric.

Take your blood money.



DUN DUN DUN-

[Radical Dreamer]

The cliff they secretly installed on the world map is definitely symbolic of the cliffhanger we are now left with. XDD

[K. Ayato]

The Shoshone always asks for clothing, BUT he gets everything and everyone across with no difficulties.

[CrimsonRyu17]

... with no difficulties.

Someone's gonna die.

Journal Entry: August 1, 1848-

As we left the impassible trail, we suddenly realized that RD has a snakebite. Having reoriented ourselves as the map indicated, we proceeded forward. Four days into our new trail, we discovered that it was also impassible.

Lord, guide us through this tribulation.

August 11, 1848-

I awoke this morning to discover my body covered in a rash. With my fever increasing, we identified it as measles. As we have not been in contact with the outside world, it was determined that the "Spray-o-matic" disease protections were to blame.

May God's judgement be just.

August 13, 1848-

A Shoshoni guide approached our wagon this morning. "God forbid that suspicious men tip over your wagon as it crosses! I will protect you, and aid you in crossing for the low, low price of 3 sets of clothing."

We accepted his offer, mindful of the "M" embroidered on his fine vest. As we prepared the Wagon for yet another fateful crossing, the guide haughtily chortled, "M will be pleased to hear that you have accepted my gracious offer."

With heavy hearts, we press forward. I pray that we pass this trial by God's good grace.

[rocklobster]

Hey CG, maybe you should turn that journal into a book like Laura Ingalls Wilder did.

[Myoti]

Isn't it sad Rohan?

Measels, dysentery, geeze. With the way things are going, you should have taken Tonio with you.

[goldenspines]

Oh, haha, the Snake River.
I really hope no one dies. 8(

Also, why was RD playing with snakes?

And this:

[Kaligraphic]

It's the Snake river. RD has a snakebite. One of these facts might explain the other.

[Fish and Chips]

Man you guys I need to stop forgetting I have this thread. I am the worst LPer ever.

Wait for it.

Wait for it.



RIVER GOT TOLD SON.

I take back anything I have ever said about Native Americans.



We've come a long way guys. Our whole trip was haunted by the specter of those first two rivers, but this time it's us who-



...

I don't even-





Excuse me.







[SIZE="7"]FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-[/SIZE]



Good for him.



Alright, so despite our rapidly declining population food supplies are somehow low. I'll fix that.

CHILL GUYS I got this. If there's one thing I think I've proved capable at, it's making stuff dead.



Be very very quiet.



I'm going to have this screenshot detailed on my Christmas cards to PETA this year.



Thanks for helping me carry stuff back to the wagon there Corrie.

I'm only, you know, keeping you alive.

Thanks a bunch.



Oh come on, you know I didn't mean that.

[Radical Dreamer]

Pfft, watch as I outlive all of you. XDDD

This is all I am saying. XDD

Also, Oregon Trail ought to become a revenge tale after this, because Matt's in our wagon killing our dudes, and I'm pretty sure the hand of justice needs to be brought upon him. XD

[Whitefang]

I take back anything I have ever said about Native Americans.

Anything? Even the good stuff?

First, Indiana Jones references are always culturally relevant. Second, I can appreciate Cognitive's death. It is the symbol of the trail itself. You travel for no reason, and he dies for no reason. Very fitting, I'd say.

[rocklobster]

That's a first. They always gave me a reason.

[Rusty Claymore]

You bottomed out at 100 lbs.? The extra 13 was RD's share.

Is there anyone left alive?

[Peanut]

Also, Oregon Trail ought to become a revenge tale after this, because Matt's in our wagon killing our dudes, and I'm pretty sure the hand of justice needs to be brought upon him. XD

Perhaps in the future there will be...or perhaps there won't...or perhaps this LP won't be over anytime soon, making any sequel that may or may not have been planed (slightly...) have to wait until a certain individual gets back from Israel...thanks a lot Fish, its not like you have a life outside of updating this thread or anything like that.

[Htom Sirveaux]

Alright, so despite our rapidly declining population food supplies are somehow low.

Open to interpretation.

[goldenspines]

Cogi! D8 R.I.P. You were a great trail log writer.
You can't die from measles, can you? But it's not like anything else makes sense in this game, though.

Also, RD has exhaustion from carrying all that food back to the wagon. Or from burying the dead bodies. >_>;;

[Ante Bellum]

They didn't bury the bodies. One was dumped in the ditch, another was left floating on a river, and now a third body was left in the middle of the road.
