[Act 1] Prologue
Flashback: Man returns home to shocking discovery. Inevitably, gunfights ensue.
Target Body Count: 100 though I expect a timeout.
Current Body Count: 104
http://blognomic.com/wiki/index.php?title=Ruleset#Acts for instructions on adding a Scene, plus an example.
I think it’s safe enough having the first Act now that people can only post a single Scene. Continuity won’t be an issue this early on, as it’s all just flashacks and they never make sense in the real movies. Try to make your descriptions fun and interesting - remember all Scenes will be placed on the Act’s wiki page!

Qwazukee:
Influenza and Kevan’s Scenes are invalid, way more than the 25 word maxin the Scripts.
Devenger:
If those Scenes broke the word limit, I’m guessing they were never created as the instructions were not correctly followed out. So they probably can still make a new Scene. Discussion?
Gnauga:
Yeah, they can reword or make an entirely new scene with their GNDT roll. I’m going to pretend that they did not happen.

Redone previous invalid scene. Also, someone count the total body count, I think it’s getting close to 100.
Kevan:
Current total is 95. (So the total in the post was already up to date and I’ve just wasted a couple of minutes adding them all up again. Might be better to track running totals in comments.)
Devenger:
Mmmm, I think I will propose that each Scene-creating comment requires a new current total body count.
Jupiter:
Title: All for one!
Script. 10 passengers run for the front of the plane. Only 1 survives.
Body Count: 9
Devenger:
That’s enough. (Final Body Count: 104)

Scrap that, Jupiter has already posted a Scene to this Act, so the last scene is not valid (second paragraph of http://blognomic.com/wiki/index.php?title=Ruleset#Acts )
Current Body Count is 95. Come on guys :D
