So I saw this game on another forum and it blew up. It's very simple; it's a forum representation of 'chaos theory' showing how an extremely small change can lead to drastic outcomes in the future. The example Edward Lorenz, the pioneer of Chaos Theory, gave for this was "If a butterfly flaps its wings in California it can cause a typhoon in Britain" or something along those lines. So, here's how the game works;

I start with "A butterfly flapped its' wings". The next person posts "A butterfly flapped its' wings, so (effect)" and eventually you may get things such as someone being the President or something.
Rules:
1) No double posting.
2) No making drastic and unrealistic effects, eg. "The butterfly flapped its wings, so martians came down onto Earth to investigate"
3) Do what seems most realistic- do not try to intentionally drive the course of the game towards something.

I'll start.

A butterfly flapped it's wings.

Because it was slow and the bird ate it, the bird was caught off-guard.

The hunter murdered the other hunter for the bird, so he took it home and named it Fancy McTinkletins.

Fancy McTinkletins grew up to be a very intelligent young hawk, and on his master's death he decided to exact vengeance on the economic climate that had allowed a young hunter to starve to death; he flew for the banks.

This made the plane crash into Kansas which was remembered as a national tragety. Until everyone remembered that they don't care about Kansas.

Since Kansas was in the middle of ruin, and no one cared for it, it became a haven for criminal activity.

^ It has to be somewhat realistic, remember? lol

Because of this unorderleyness in Kansas, most of Kansas' respectable residents moved to Oklahoma thus increasing it's population substantially, and gave Oklahoma an extra seat in the House of Representatives.

btw, it starts out kinda slow, but shit will get real pretty soon :)

through all the complain, some citizens start to revolt, and small riots break out over the country; meanwhile, many terrorist organizations form in Kansas.

OMG! I knew he was real! lol

Due to the Kansasians (idk what they're called, lol) not wanting to leave Oklahoma, the Oklahomians started several violent riots which made Oklahoma a sespool for anarchy and crime. With two states consumed by fear and corruption, the President called an emergency conference.

The president was about to send aid when he realized... everyone cares about Oklahoma even less than Kansas. So he left them to fend for themselves. This angered Oklahoma enough to suceed from the union becoming it's own county. Kansas soon followed and before anyone knew it, a war erupted in middle America.
