Forgotten Trail competition

Back in 2013, I ran a little competition.

The competition had nothing to do with me or Skulduggery — it was all to do with an educational video game designed to teach you maths and have, you know, actual fun while you do it. Incorporating historically accurate aspects of Native American tribal life and culture, the game was called Spirit Lake, and the competition was to find someone to become a character in it, using your name and likeness. Here's what I said about it at the time:

"And if this works like they hope it will, this could be the beginning of something huge. This could revolutionise teaching, and learning— not just in America but across the world— and it could be just the thing that's needed to help struggling students make that singular, all-important leap. This could change people's lives." 

The competition was a great success. I got in some hilarious responses, and also some heartfelt ones, and while it was not easy to pick a winner, a winner I did pick. 

And now I'm going to do it all over again.

These same awesome people — people who include the mother and sister of my personal (Twitter) friend, UFC champion Ronda Rousey* — have another game in development, called Forgotten Trail. 

SO — if you like the idea of having a video game version of yourself teaching kids maths across America, give me your reasons why. In no more than thirty words, explain why you should win, and send your entries to skulteams@hotmail.com. You can enter as many times as you like, you can be any age, from any country, and the winner will be announced at the end of July.

Good luck!


* Yes, Ronda does count as a friend**.

** By friend I don't, of course, mean someone I've ever actually met, but that's not what's important here***.

*** What's important is that we're PALS. Some might say buddies. Kindred spirits, perhaps. I might even go so far as to say I've taught her everything she knows****.

**** I haven't ACTUALLY taught her everything she knows, but she knows that I would have, if ever I knew something that she didn't already know. Such as writing*****.

***** Although seeing as how Ronda's autobiography has made it to the New York Times bestseller list — a list I have yet to ACTUALLY grace — this probably isn't the best use of my, or her, time. But even so, I am sure there are PLENTY of things I could teach her. Though probably nothing useful or, you know, not-imaginary, like unicorn-taming, or yodelling******.

***** I'll shut up now.

Its not the end of the world, if I had my way id be swearing but I'm trying not to for any newbies that may be scared off if they see it. No matter the age.)

Mary Contrary said...

(((PRE-DIATRIBE APOLOGY: I'M SORRY, THIS WAS ONLY GOING TO BE THE FIRST SENTENCE AND IT GREW.)))

(((@Fera: The more you try, the easier it gets.

One interesting thing is how much the people we are around can influence our behaviour -- and language use especially.
For example- one person I follow on tumblr has a habit of adding 'lmao' at the end of her tags, without especially meaning anything by it? It's just a tagalong at the end, or a space filler - like, a particular language habit.
And from reading that -- I keep mentally adding lmao to my sentences, and having to delete it when I come to project those sentences?
Or, in the way that people say 'like' as a filler.
Or the way that we pick up to use asterisks to indicate action, and the way we sometimes use parentheses (((when we're replying to other people who commented in parentheses, even though we have no reason to)))

But 'lmao' and 'like' and ** and ((())) are not so much fixed parts of my personality - they would (and do) change when the conditions change.
In the past, I've been talking with people who use ~...~ instead of *...* for actions - and I've, at some point, started to do that instead.
People on the blog (going years back, I guess) also used to use varying degrees of lol/Lol/LOL/LOL! as 'HAHAHAHA that's funny'. At some point, that became *laughs* and xD and xP; and now it's just xD or XD. And the way I indicate 'HAHAHA HA that's funny' has changed in that respect, too. I don't think LOL, I think xD or XD.

And our attitude, approach, and reference to different subject matter can work in the same way.

And I think that, inappropriate subject matter also, is probably not a fixed part of a personality. And you can pick up appropriate content, just as you can pick up xD or ^_^ or 'like' or 'lmao'.
In this respect, I totally believe that you are capable of being funny without making inappropriate references.
Just, might take a little work. :) ^^ )))

(((sorry for the essay. But, y'know. I'm not good at being concise.)))

Alys: *yes, yum yums*
l lets g go and get you m more m meat..

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

????: *yum. Yums*
*wow Chloe*
*I didn't say she was stupid >-<*
*shakes head*

Inky Flame said...

(I second that, Taia)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I am none of them.)

Liliana: I do not value my own, simply because they do not value me. I suppose my brother is alright, but I barely know him.

Bethany: I... Don't know? I was born in the middle of nowhere... In a star. I don't know what day it was...

Lily: So I have to pay you?

Mary Contrary said...

Chloe/Sil: XD

@Conductor: "No matter the age." *agrees* *thanks* :) :) :)

Star Inkbright said...

Screw it. I'm ditching them and talking to you guys. ;)

Inky Flame said...

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(You would be incorrect there Sophi.)


Onwa: I would rather an abusive family than none.

Hmm..

Manuel: Yes, in a way, then I can transfer the money.

Hey star!)

Mary Contrary said...

@Conductor: By extension-- I agreed with your whole comment.
But then I agreed verbally with the last bit. :P

Star Inkbright said...

OMG NOOOOO DON'T LEAVE AS I ARRIVE

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Hello, Star.

I disagree, Jaimie.)

Liliana: And I would rather have none. *she shrugs* I suppose it is just differences of opinion.
*flames burst into life in front of them*

Bethany: What?

Lily: Okay. So if you take the money I have... Then split it into half and give half to each charity?

Star Inkbright said...

@Conductor: Yay! :)
I'm good thanks. :) Had a brilliant day.
How're you? :)

Hey, Fera. :)

*hugs Tain back*

Also, I agree with Taia's thing up there. :)
You also picks up traits from people like niceness, meanness and funniness.

Star Inkbright said...

Hi Sophia. :)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Your disagreement is incorrect.)

Onwa: Perhaps.
*blinks at the flames*

That means I can't get you birthday presents.

Manuel: *nods*
I can do that.

You're perfect, OK? you're perfect and you ARe funny and I don't think that you should feel discouraged from thinking you are allowed to be yourself?
but it's also important to make sure that other humans feel safe, comfortable, etc?
*sending positive vibes across the universe @you??????*

Star Inkbright, everybody. :P ^^


@Star: Um. I rather hope she doesn't?

Star Inkbright said...

@Jai: Well, when she was threatening to hit people with a spoon, we didn't think she meant it . . . until she brought a massive spoon into school and started whacking people with it. :o

Hi Jai! :) *hugs*

Feraaaa32 said...

taia: I am nowhere near any of the above that you stated about me ^_^

Star Inkbright said...

@Taia: :) :) :)

*hugs back*)

Star Inkbright said...

Not even kidding I love you guys so much and I haven't felt this way about my blog friends as a collective whole for y'know a year or two do . . . well done? :)

Star Inkbright said...

@Jai: It was a large spoon.

Alright. Death threats in my notification bar. Scared. :o

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

She isnt babysitting

A family membee came to visit with her two year old cousin

Soon as they came its like I'm not even worth the bother to even mention hey they got here

Just like today with the nail appontmwnt

Oh that was over ages ago

Okay so no text to say that? No mention of hey i cant hang out?

Why would there be oh why that fucking requires a brain

I had tp guess the stupid 2 year old came and I'm like pushed aside like I'm shut

Besides, I prefer the term cute. *nodsnods*

There are 4 adults around.

Sorry but you know I feel like shit as it is in general I dont need to be ignored. Child should be hopefully sleepy and go AWAY so I can maybe talk to said friend because someone needs to give me a heads up if I can go to graduation or not. You know the event tomorrow night.

Like I'll actually be told

Oh the baby this the baby that

All I want to do is scream and if it isnt baby its oh how I am going to Europe and oh I'm sooo special to go there but I dont realize that the people doing the tour are rippjng me off

Lavender Hope said...

Geez, once my computer's turned on, wifi goes berserk. -_-

Zaf, please try to understand. Having a toddler/baby around makes thing a hundred times more complicated. I'm sure your friend is just really preoccupied and /would/ normally tell you these things if they could.

They amount of money she paid to go is way too much.

And they aren't even going to anything good! Not Paris not any place you would want to go in the coubtries they picked

Not even England! Or Scotland or Ireland!

Germany, France Switzerland

If I'm paying the amount for a car, I'd like to go somewhere like Paris.

No. They are taking them to not one single tourist attraction.

Who wohld pay a fortune to NOT go to Paris but be in France?

hopey: *it's pretty disturbing- anyone who's too sensitive don't read this: the main character gets betrayed by his friend, all of his other friends get slain right in front of him, the betrayer claims his soul, then transforms into a monster and rapes the main char's girlfriend in the pool of his friends' blood while he is pinned down, and then forced to cut off his arm...yeeeaaahhhhh....*

Lavender Hope said...

Testing; on a computer now.

Wow, typing on a keyboard feels so different. :P But at the same time, I can type a little easier.

Feraaaa32 said...

elleni: no probs ^_^

Lavender Hope said...

... right, thanks for that little detail.
*makes a mental note not to look up the anime*

@Zaf: Maybe it would be a nice experience to go to a place that's not so popular... Get to see what the rest of the country is like?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Then again- I'll never have the money to go overseas

Why did my grandma get us the passports when I'll never go further then the south in the US?

So I'll never know what another country is like

Don't tell me I may because I won't, I can set my mind to it but it never will happen

Feraaaa32 said...

hopey: any time :P and i would advise not looking it up...though the main character (guts) is very badass :D

Lavender Hope said...

Unless one of us comes to get you and we all go to live on a Blogisland...
*wishful daydreaming*

Feraaaa32 said...

zaf: You don't know that! Don't say never! *hugS*

Lavender Hope said...

@Frank: Yep, no thanks. :P

Feraaaa32 said...

hopey: hey, maybe if one of us becomes popular, or landy notices us? oh yeah, has derek noticed blogland? ^_^

Feraaaa32 said...

hopey: thought so, that's a good girl :P *pats head*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Well I would want to see Paris if I paid so much to go! No small tiny villages.

Who pays a fortune to go to places that are villages? Like....it makes no logical sense and the other people who were the chosen ones said it was a rip off and waste of money to go and they didnt go they juat didnt sign up

When its all said in done its close to $10,000 mind you she starts college in the fall.

A. Bad timjng
B. rip off

Feraaaa32 said...

zaf: and hey, maybe your partner will take you to places, EVEN if you don't have the money yourself ^_^ well, 10,000 is quite a lot :D is she actually paying that much? Yeah, that IS a rip off ^_^

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

My luck sucks

I'll never go further then the US

Why?

If I want something it never happens

I want to go to Ireland I was promised to go, nope

I want to go to HP World- Never happened deapite being told that I would

Wildwood- Never allowed

New phone- Been told since Christmas never happened

Lavender Hope said...

Okay, the payment thing I agree on.

And Frank: Before all this roleplaying started, Derek would once in a while comment on the first page of a new post. He stopped doing that though... but he knows everyone talks here like a family/group chat place.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Yeah it is.

5,000 to get a ticket

And roughly 5,000 for food and lodging plus tippjng drivers and hosts

They dont get food you buy your own

Who the fuck pays that much to not even tour you perform mostly

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I think they get a few hours per country.

They perform

Rip. off. I could buy a fairly decent used car woth that money

Feraaaa32 said...

zaf: don't be such a negative sama, you will do things you'd like to, especially if u work hard at it :)
hopey: oh ok, i see :) *hugs*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

No usually when I worl to it the thing fails

I worked hard to do a lot but all I worked for sucked

Feraaaa32 said...

zaf: keep working on it :)

Lavender Hope said...

@El: Island. Blog island. :)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I dont see the point

I work for a lot and I get shit results.

Lavender Hope said...

...
*totally didn't forget how to code*
...
*WORKING ON IT*

Lavender Hope said...

I get how you'd think that. :P

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

New York Comic Con

I asked begged offered to pay for it

To fucking GO

I had hope. The tickets went on sale when I had school and my dad wouldnt buy them for me

Knowing I had classes

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I was told oh find one in a small city

I live in no mans land

Like hick's ville where I have a Nascar track 10 minutes from my house

Lavender Hope said...

Maybe because he wanted you to do well at school? Missing a comic con sucks, but school's important to parents. They just want what's best, even if they go about it differently.

*computer gets hot*
*borrows cousin's mini table*
*whispers*
I'll give it back when she needs it.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Well the sale was when I was in school the time was a weekend so I would be going on a Saturday and NYC is soooo close

Feraaaa32 said...

elleni: I know ^_^
hopey: You know how to code? :O ^_^
zaf: you're young, you can't say nothing will work out in life, but hey, if you're starting to tell yourself that, nothing WILL work out because even you don't believe in it ^_^

Feraaaa32 said...

zaF: also, your future fiance and kids would disagree with your current attitude ^_^

Lavender Hope said...

@Frank: Eh, still learning.

... and failing. ^.^'

Lavender Hope said...

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING. XD

Feraaaa32 said...

hopey: it's ok, i forgot everything about coding, i started self-teaching myself 2 years ago, but i stopped and now i have no idea :D *hugs*

Feraaaa32 said...

*came back from preparing food for myself btw* ^_^

Lavender Hope said...

*realizes something*
FRANK WHY ARE YOU STILL UP????

Feraaaa32 said...

hopey: WHY NOT :P

Lavender Hope said...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Good so I can be a rock

Lavender Hope said...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Feraaaa32 said...

Lavender Hope said...

You do realize how distant I am, right? and when I'm not, I'm being really distracted because looking up all this code stuff for specific things is very complicated and confusing. @.@
*is grateful for spell check on computer as she be needing it right now*

*rereads her sentence and realizes she mixed two different trains of thought and made it look strange*
Let's just say, I'm confused and my brain is melting. *nods*
*melts*
