Help[Games] Rachel Shay’s Family Tree Congrats Sign Up
I’m taking my favorite ideas from my last congrats and making a new one.
The rules will be pretty lenient. I will have no control over how many children you have (Every round, you can choose how many kids you had in the five year period [for example, you had 5 stepstair children, or a child every other year, or you only had one child]) and minimal control over their names (there will be an ever-growing namebank).
I have no set amount of rounds, it’ll probably keep going until everyone drops out :D, and you may drop out at any time and still receive your “prize”, which will be an overview of your family, and a family tree.
The game begins in 1900, for the sake of the family tree. You may use that as a starting point, or you can use modern names. Just know that the names in the namebank are based off the names you choose. I will keep track of ages, and every round I will give statistics about the most popular names.
To sign up, fill out this form. I have no real preference as to how many people sign up. If you want to use popular names from the 1900, you can check here for inspiration: http://www.behindthename.com/top/lists/1000us1900s.php

Also, you are welcome to write backstory if you like (how your couple met, etc). I enjoy reading it :]
I hope I got all the information you need. Ask questions if you have any, and you'll get more details next round.

John met Lillian one day when she was in the local butchers. The butcher had hallucinations quite often and while she was picking out her weekly meat, he started having one. He attempted to stab her and she let out a shrill scream. John, who was delivering post to the shops came to her rescue and saved her life. They have been inseparable ever since. They would love to have children soon but Lillian has a history of having multiples in her family.
