So this isn't a so much choose your own adventure and more of a madlib thing?
We're writing segments of the storyline so they can be compiled into a Choose Your Own Adventure story which will be posted afterwards.

Action from previous scene: (this is what the player last decided to do)
You gave the homeless man some spare change.
Your scene:
You are walking down the street when a mugger demands you give him your wallet.
Possible transitions: (these are the actions that the player can choose after your scene)
Give the mugger your wallet
Resist
Call for help

Then, whoever is writing this scene would create something like this:
You dig into your pocket and find a warm, slippery quarter. Dropping it in the homeless man's hat grants you a murmur from the half-drunken shape.
You continue walking down the street, watching out for cracks in the pavement. A slow drizzle begins to fall on the city, clouds casting a twilight shadow on the rusting steel. Out of nowhere, a tall man in a hoodie and black sweatpants grabs you by the collar and slams you against the wall.
"Gimme yer wallet, punk!" he shouts as he brings a small pocketknife up to your neck.
The writer would be free to include whatever details he wants. He could give the mugger a rocket launcher, mention the state of the surroundings, elaborate more on the dialogue, etc. Once everyone has written their scenes I will link them to create a playable adventure.

At this point there may be several scenes given to each writer, unless more people sign up.

Just sign lil-Inferno up for this. He's been writing RPs nonstop in SEN Skype for the past two days. I'm sure he'll do this. ;o

Uh oh, I'm going to be on vacation from tomorrow afternoon to next Sunday. D: I guess I can't do this, then. 
Might join in next week, after I finish all my end-of-year lab reports and shit 
None.
The deadline to sign up has been extended until further notice.

Added. Given SEN's low activity recently, I'll probably close signups within a few days. At that point, everyone will receive 2 (or 3 if you want) scenes to write.

Scenes are going out TONIGHT!

Almost all the scenes have been submitted. I'm still waiting on one more from Omegwavex. He hasn't logged on since June 27th, and I sent him a message about a week ago, so I think I'll let someone else write that scene (or I will if no one else volunteers).
Hopefully the adventure can be posted by the end of the week.

NudeRaider -- blessed innocent soul knows nothing of the strife we had before EUDs were discovered 
[2026-6-23. : 3:29 am]
DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically[2026-6-21. : 4:26 am]
Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings[2026-6-20. : 6:15 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
