Let's play Oregon Trail!

No.

No.

Better be yes.

KW, Typhoid is a very serious disease. However, in the world of OT, every disease was cured by bed rest.

[shooraijin]

Hey, you're a doctor, right?
Man, medical skills would come in handy for Fish about now.

There is the small matter of antibiotics not being invented yet (nor a suction device to suck river water out of people's lungs, though to be sure that would be possible with OT "Oregon Technology").

I appreciate this thread, for it makes me look REALLY, REALLY OLD.

You can't be that old. I did, too.

For your reading pleasure.

Typhoid fever, also known as Salmonella Typhi or commonly just Typhoid, is an illness. Common worldwide, it is transmitted by the ingestion of food or water contaminated with feces from an infected person.

Typhoid fever is characterized by a slowly progressive fever as high as 40 °]

MAAAAAAAAAAATT.

They have the gall to increase the prices and not even the common courtesy to attach a new name and a face to hate for it.



Well, that takes care of that.

Through really I probably should have bought all funeral suits with the way this run is going.



Or maybe it's just that nobody in this game can take back more than their own body weight in meat for some inexplicable reason.

On a similar note, since we're down two people, I can probably afford to move the meals up to filling now.



Alright, let's rest up. No sense in having Cognitive die on us.



Fair is good, but I think we can be in better condition.



Or maybe we can't.



I'll bet you it doesn't really look like a chimney.



You know, this has always bothered me. There's always always one person who comes down with this, despite that I have never ever increased the pace beyond the slowest, most comfortable option.

Almost there.



...Well shoot, there goes $5.



Beautiful.

Now we wait for the earthquake in the middle of the night that will bring that thing toppling down and kill us all.

[Ante Bellum]

Splat.
In other news, I'm on standby with those funeral suits.

[Fish and Chips]

Ante just so you know, there isn't a prize for most posts in this thread.

RD has exhaustion? Suck it up, girl.

Pssshhtt that is still the least deadly thing to happen yet in this thread. XD I still consider myself a hardy individual! XD

...Matt's still a jerk, though.

I read "Hardly an individual" the first time I saw that. XD

I played the game on an Apple Two as well. OT and Trucking USA was my fav games in school.

Something tells me you won't even make it to Independence Rock. At least, I think that's the name of the rock with all that graffiti on it.

[RidleyofZebes]

O.o whaddya know. Me too..
<_< It seems to me that there's been an epidemic lately of people misreading things. A lot.

[Fish and Chips]

You can tell this map was made in America because America's the only thing on it.



There's a joke I really want to make here.

Really.



Can't have Radical Dreamer dying of something stupid like exhaustion.

You know, when we're already traveling at a snail's pace.



Alright, so this should be a relatively frills-free-



You can really see MECC's dedication to historical accuracy here. Most people don't know that the original Oregon settlers had to flip diskettes when they reached Fort Laramie.



If I was blind I'd think you guys were cocky.



Stallions!



She, uh, hasn't been all there since her husband died.



There's that independence word again. Man, you'd think us Americans would have gotten it out of our systems by now.



We require additional oxen.

[rocklobster]

I've always wondered, why is inadequate grass supposed to be such a problem? Maybe it's because I never lived in those days.

[Ante Bellum]

I'm sure it's because the oxen couldn't graze and became weak.

[goldenspines]

Ah, those Oregon settlers had it tough, allright. Nowadays, you don't even need a diskette to get to Oregon.

Inadequate grass, you say? I was wondering why the ground was orange.

Hey, at least I didn't drown in what was practically standing water! XD

Journal Entry: May 2, 1848

On our way to Independence Rock, we briefly stopped to take notice of the rather inadequate grass. This may be trouble for our oxen. One of the oxen looked at me with it's large, empty eyes. As my own eyes met it's gaze, time slowed to a standstill, and the moment felt as several days.

[Fish and Chips]

You found 800 lbs. of meat, but couldn't take any of it back because Oregon Trail is dumb.



I would just like to say that it was raining while I was making this post.



He's-

He's new at this.



No, we're just here for the gift shop.



"Metallica sucks."



...Something familiar about this woman.

No. Don't tell me.

It'll come to me eventually.



That's like a weekend, right? Should be long enough to prevent whatever incurable disease we were almost about to come down with exactly one mile outside of this place.



Alright, let's do this.

Squirt lemon juice in my open wounds, why don't you.

[Mithrandir]

What possible reason is there for NOT allowing someone to collect the meat from Oxen anyway?!?

Edit: WAITAMINUTE! No one died?!?

The thief stole 8 bullets. Maybe that's all he needed. o:

And you lost the trail because you were so broken up by the death of your beloved oxen?

I await the next segment with excitement mixed with a bit of fear.

I think it was RD's fault. She was reading the map upside down!

How many oxen do you have? They're dropping like flies... gotta be that grueling, strenuous slow pace you drive them at. XD Oxen killer...

I thought he was a carpenter - why would his kids know how to read?

The thief stole eight bullets. An oxen dies. Strange people keep saying strange things. Solid Ronin drowned in three feet of water. Maybe you are in a crazy murder-mystery and these are all clues.

Bwahahahahahaha, I'm loling so much right now xDDD

I would love to see this "Oushi no Naku Koro Ni" XDDD Haha, "Naraku no Hana" just came on Itunes xP

Ahem, at least the thief didn't steal anything else.. You can always kill a bear with your bare hands 8D
