DEAD AND GONE
Set in the fictional city of Caneford, Dead and Gone is a play-by-post role-playing game that focuses on the lives of stray and abandoned dogs. The site has no specific plot, enabling players to come up with their own storylines and thus allowing Dead and Gone to continue as a community that includes everyone.
Sometimes, member-created plots will become ones that involve the whole site, be it for a short, set amount of time, or a longer and less restricted amount of time. Variety is encouraged here; we don’t want to see a hundred wolf-dog hybrids running around, but we also don’t want to see millions of famous, show-winning pedigree dogs that got ‘tired’ of the high-life and decided to run away.
Difference is the key, as we say here.
The current version of the site—number one—reflects on the name of a song by Snow Patrol, called ‘We Can Run Away Now They’re All Dead And Gone’. As you may have noticed, the title of Dead and Gone also comes from the aforementioned song, and although the version has no particular meaning, it often helps the ‘creative juices,’ of members to flow, as both the song, the site title and the current version of the site offer many ideas as to what the history of Dead and Gone actually is.
Players and their characters are encouraged to form relationships both in-character and out of character. Dead and Gone likes to think of itself as a closely-knit community, even if—at the moment—it’s a little low on members, having just started up and such.
Welcome to Dead and Gone, where everything can goes and anything can happen.

Suspicious Mother « Result #6 on Mar 14, 2009, 2:34am »
Brian invited his mother over for dinner. During the course of the meal, Brian's mother couldn't help but keep noticing how beautiful Brian's roommate, Stephanie, was.
Brian's Mom had long been suspicious of a relationship between Brian and Stephanie, and this had only made her more curious. Over the course of the evening, while watching the two react, she started to wonder if there was more between Brian and Stephanie than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, Brian volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you Stephanie and I are just roommates."
About a week later, Stephanie came to Brian saying, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" Brian said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll send her an e-mail just to be sure". So he sat down and wrote:
"Dear Mom: I'm not saying that you "did" take the gravy ladle from the house; I'm not saying that you "did not" take the gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for
dinner. Love, Brian".
Several days later, Brian received an email back from his mother that read:
"Dear Son: I'm not saying that you "do" sleep with Stephanie; I'm not saying that you "do not" sleep with Stephanie. But the fact remains that if Stephanie is sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom."

Leather, NFL Regulation, 1963 Chicago Bears-Inscribe The year was 1964.wow power leveling, The place was Chicago. A man I worked with had acquired a couple of all-leather, NFL regulation, 1963 Chicago Bears-inscribed footballs and was selling them at a real good price. My first son was on the way. I bought the football. I had my son's "coming home from the hospital" gift, and it was something truly special. Several years later, young Tom was rummaging around in the garage as only a five- or six-year-old can rummage when he came across the all-leather, NFL regulation, 1963 Chicago Bears-inscribed football. He asked if he could play with it. With as much logic as I felt he could understand, I explained to him that he was still a bit too young to play carefully with such a special ball. We had the same conversation several more times in the next few months,wow power leveling,and soon the requests faded away.
The next fall, after watching a football game on television, Tom asked, "Dad, remember that football you have in the garage? Can I use it to play with the guys now?"
Eyes rolling up in my head, I replied, "Tom, you don't understand. You don't just go out and casually throw around an all-leather, wow gold,NFL regulation, 1963 Chicago bears-inscribed football. I told you before; it's special."
Eventually Tom stopped asking altogether. But he did remember, and a few years later he told his younger brother, Dave, about the all-leather, NFL regulation, 1963 Chicago Bears-inscribed football that was special and kept somewhere in the garage. Dave came to me one day and asked if he could take that special football and throw it around for awhile. It seemed like I'd been through this before, but I patiently explained, once again, that you don't just go out and throw around an all-leather, NFL regulation,wow power leveling, 1963 Chicago Bears-inscribed football.
But it wasn't special anymore.
I stood alone in the garage. The boys had long since moved away from home, and suddenly I realized that the football had never been so special at all. Children playing with it when it was their time to play is what would have made it special. wow gold,I had blown those precious, present moments that can never be reclaimed, and I had saved a football. For what?
I took the football across the street and gave it to a family with young kids. A couple of hours later I looked out the window. They were throwing, catching, kicking and letting skid across the cement my all-leather, wow gold,NFL regulation, 1963 Chicago Bears-inscribed football.
The city of Lovelle had lain in ruins for years upon end. The small town in the middle of nowhere was nothing to the people of society; just a small deserted place that no one bothered to dispose of. The few people who did recognize the name of the town Lovelle thought it to be uninhabited, cleared of all living things. But this was not the case.
The last thing that had cleared itself out of the town was an illegal pit dog fighting arena, a place where lawbreakers went to battle their dogs till the death as a cruel sport. When the town was excavated, everything was taken, the supplies, the benches, the chairs, and even the roof covering of the small little place. But what wasn’t taken, were the dogs. Yes, the dogs seemed to be too old and injured for their wicked owners to worry about; they could always get new pit dogs, yes, yes.
So the dogs were abandoned with the rest of the town, confined in small metal cages, or chained up to a wooden post in the arena. If someone had been there, they might have helped the dogs, but that never happened. No one came back, and no one ever would.
Being fighting dogs, none of them were going to sit there helplessly and watch each other starve. These dogs would find a way out of the fate laid out before them. Many of them were able to knock their cages over, gnawed through the bars, or simply pulled the chain off of their post to escape. But others were not so lucky. Some never succeeded in fulfilling their escape plot, and died where their owners had last left them. Mind you, there were no friends to help them. In their previous way of living, they had no friends, of course. They were pit dogs, forced to fight another no matter who they were. You couldn’t risk having a friend you might end up killing.
Everyone had to start their lives over again. They had to learn how to make friends, and how to live without their peoples. And I never said it was easy. Lovelle then became the city of the dogs, though humans didn’t really know that.
Generations passed since the old pit dogs had been left, and new families started to erupt in every which way. Some families were brought up the same way as a regular pit dog: Kill, or be killed, while others seemed to have found their place as normal stray dogs. But there is never peace. Murders and wicked happenings are always passed along from throughout Lovelle, city of dogs, and the unstable dog haven had been collapsing.
Is it possible to create a peaceful land, where all can live without fear of one another, or will it always be a place where one will always fall…?
