Our Story

The Fantastic Leaping of
DeSpencers Ghost

Situation. Raiders hunt us down in the old region. We hide in the long grass of the marsh from the aerial spies of the Black Falcons. Our boats edge quietly, cautiously towards the open sea. Everyone is scared but no one dares breathe a word. Will we escape? Will anyone come to our aid?

The next person carries the story on.

The Ceaseless Wonder of
True Minds

The falcons swoop down with murder in their hearts. We scream in terror, praying to the Three Eyed Norwegian for guidance.

To pray we jump and flail our arms and roll our eyes like loonies, which scares the falcons and they fly away squawking.

we don't go to the open sea.. too dangerous..

It makes more sense to hug the coast and go north towards The Land Where No One Lives, doesn't it?

All we have to worry about are the Falcons who are rounding up reinforcements to come after us again and poke our eyes with their beaks and peck us till we are dead.

There is a flock of them coming our way.. Look out!!

Can we fight them off so they don't cone back or do we die and this story ends now? ..

Dunno. I’d put my faith in the Three Eyed Norwegian. He could do just about anything. Ravens beware! The Land Where no one Lives seems a bit of a gamble, but the die is cast. On we go!

The Free Land of
Stench of Youth

Oh for goodness sake! There is no such thing as the Three Eyed Norwegian, except for Olaf and he doesn't count. Still, the crazy praying worked last time with the Ravens, so why won't it work again? The boat must be half way up the coast by now. I'd be more afraid of the Killer Dolphins. Crazy tourists waving their arms and making funny faces aren't going to bother them.

The Ceaseless Wonder of
True Minds

What you don't know is that Killer Dolphins revere The Three Eyed Norwegian as a saint, so if we don't believe, we'd better pretend we do, then they'll let us pass as true believers.

The Protectorate of
Charles Edward

The rules were not spelled out, but I get the message. If someone says something is true, it is.

That means the Falcons aren't coming back to peck out our eyes.

the killer Dolphins are related to us by religion, so they see us safely up the coast until we arrive at The Land Where No One Lives.. it's scrubland, a wilderness full of poisonous snakes.. Can we win the snakes over with religion or will be finally resort to violence?? I hate violence, but we do need some action here

The Theocracy of
Three Eyed Norwegian

Who says I don't exist? Watch me smite all these evil snakes. *smite smite smite*. This may look like a godforsaken desert, but welcome to the promised land, which for some bizarre reason you shall call Universal Dream Network.

What fun! Next!

PS I declare that True Minds is my puppet. :)

The Protectorate of
Charles Edward

sos Lord Snake.. some rubbish god is here a-smitin' us, hiss the surviving snakes..

Lord Snake says.. Hey new folks! The snakes will leave you alone if you dump the god. Choose wisely.

The Theocracy of
Three Eyed Norwegian

*Smite smite smite* Your choice is a god vs a snake, also known as good vs evil.

The Empire of
Lord Snake

Aha if that's your game, two can play it.

Angry up your venom boys and girls.

Fangs at the ready.

This duel maybe gives a chance for our citizens to slip inland whilst gods and snakes are otherwise engaged.

Any more people going to take part? You decide what happens. There is no right way.

The Theocracy of
Three Eyed Norwegian

OOC: Since the snake is now a nation I can't declare the snake dead, can I? From those distant days when I last did this there was a word 'modcalling'.

As Three Eyed Norwegian: Guided by the great Lord Myself, True Believers escape the venomous evil and discover the Green Valley where two rivers meet. The relieved pilgrims jumped in delerious prayer, flailing their arms, and rolling their eyes like loonies. Build a Church to honour Great Lord Olaf, they all said. And they did.

The Free Land of
Stench of Youth

The story has taken off, but religion has taken over. I should do something about that, but I can't think what, so I won't.

The Empire of
Lord Snake

We're not allowed to say you're dead? The Norwegians left in our bit of The Land Where No One Lives are dead as Monty Python parrots. Ha!

We have a great cathedral to Lord Snake, and Lord Snake Celtic beat Three Eyed Norwegian Rangers 5-0 on Saturday. Ha! Double ha!

The Colony of
Drag Queen

This what I'm going to do, what we are going to do. We've got Snakes in the south, Olafs in the middle, and what in the north? Us!

We shall overcome this religious tyranny, darlings. Anyone with a brain, who has gone to school, has read a book, follow me to the foothills of the Open Mind. We can decide later if we want a football team. First, we'll build hospitals, schools, libraries, theatres, parks, a public transport system and establish an economy that creates enough jobs for everybody.

Founder's note 28 November 2019. Thus were the three tribes created.

This story has been written down for posterity to mark our 13th anniversary on 1 December 2019. Thank you to those who took part.

We are creating Our Story to mark the 13th anniversary of Universal Dream Network. Any member of the region is encouraged to take part. Just post where you think the story should go next. You do not have to create a new nation in order to take part.

There's still room for the story to grow. Tribes have claimed the south, middle and north. How about the east and west? Or take the story in a new direction.

Lord Snake is catching his breath.. the fangs need a rest.. Norwegians are tough meat, especially the ones with three eyes

I have created a new poll based on the story of the past while.
