Bacalar

(font: "Courier New")[Hi there,] [[Let's begin!->1]]

Okay right so you will be a child born into a Maya family, you are born in the year 555 near [[B'ak Halal]] a town located next to a lagoon with a connection to the sea. Your father spends his days [[out on the sea->poor]] [[in his castle-> royal]]

(colour: "black") + (text-style: "smear")[Arrrr mate, we are in the 17th century now! It's a] (colour: "black")+(text-style: "shadow")[pirate] (colour: "black")+(text-style: "smear") [life for you, so what to do first..] [[Take a sip of rum-> drink]] [[Start a fight->fight]]

//Your dad used to work on the land, but after some regional conflicts between different kingdoms he left to the coast where he met your mother. Your mother grew up on the coast and works in the salt business. You live together with your entire family in a [[small cottage]] at the edge of town near the beach.// While they are at work you decide to.. [[walk around at the beach->shell]] [[watch people play some ball-> poc a toc]]

Yeey congrats you are (text-style:"blink")+(text-style:"outline")+ (text-style: "expand")[RICH]! Nothing wrong with making things easier for yourself! [[#livingmybestlife-> life]]

(text-style: "smear")+(text-style:"outline") [''Wuhuuu you are in Mexico'', Welcome to the Carribean coast of Quintana Roo! This is magical place where the Maya people thrived, where the Spanish conquered and where pirates looted.. First, pick who you want to be..] (text-style:"smear")+(text-style:"outline") [ [[I will be born as a Maya->first choice]] [[I want to be a bloody pirate-> second choice]] ]

Tomorrow your ship will finally be near Bacalar, but there is only one way to get from the sea into the lagoon so you will have to wait until it gets dark. </style> <img src=https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/q58KDWO6VpAqA-PyZ5HhDKparuoTKuLsa7RECicKV6wt13q5Yem11JQuzEjdUQapyaahrEdZD7N5eCx7usuUBEEvBHqcpRmmBtptZ4tPnu0x97vtFLN9TaKHWz1G-Vhpug> </div> [[Good, pass the rum please!! -> rum]]

Okay ready for trouble Want to hit someone? Throw a jab (click-replace: "Throw a jab")[--> He strikes back, you now have a black eye] are you sure you want to continue this fight? (link-reveal: "Yes!")[(alert:"You asked for it!")] [[Allright here you go ->battle]]

For a while you walk along the coastline, you see younger children playing together, Maize-selling women or women salting fish and in the water a boat transporting salt passes by. You see a friend of yours that is helping his mother to find shells that can be brought inland. [[You ask if he feels like coming to the city with you->square]]

You run to the ball court, some prisoners have been forced to play against each other and the losing team will probably be (text-style:"shadow")[sacrificed.] <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jKvQjgC9sIY?start=4" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> You can't wait until the ceremony starts where they [[will be sacrificed-> sacrifice]] You enjoy watching the game but [[the whole blood stuff is not really you->return home]]

(alert:"Beyond this point things get nasty, are you sure you are ready for this?") [[Allright let's take a look-> dead]]

You start walking back to your family house, your grandma is putting on your little sister's [[head binding.]] Your grandma asks you to get some //ul// before your parents come home from work You don't really feel like going right now [[Fine, you'll go to the city to get that maize drink->square]]

Yeah kind of weird but you know, literally ''everyone'' did it.. </style> <img src=https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcTw6a79TjQl5Y3svc-gJartfOj1EFEqzDFbMbgVI0vwRS_xHjMZ> </div> Just making sure your forehead is nice and long and extra flat!! (link-goto: "Okay take me back", "return home")

(colour: "red")+(text-style: "smear")+(text-style: "outline")[You walk past the Tzompantli towards the temple where the ritual will take place] [[you enter the square ->square]]

In Mayan this means //surrounded by reeds//, when the Spanish came they changed the name of this town into ''Bacalar''. [[show me more->video]] (link-goto: "Okay cool I get it", "first choice")

(text-style: "outline")(link-goto: "very cosy", "poor")

(t8n:"shudder")[You just got killed,] (text-style: "fade-in-out")[LOSER] Want to go back and get a sip of rum instead? [[Yes please! -> drink]] [[Nahh I'm good ->OK bye]]

Well I guess this is the end of your pirate adventure.. You can either stay dead or [[Start again->1]]

You drink too much and fall asleep [[You wake up at the end of the following day..->invade]]

The main square is overcrowded, you do not really understand what is going on but the sound of drums and horns echoes within the walls surrounding the square. [[the ceremony begins->ceremony]]

What will you make the servants do? [[fetch some of that chocolate drink->choco]] [[get some tamales for you->choco]]

LOL, you are a (text-style: "expand")[spoiled brat] You kind of wonder where your parents are today.. [[ask a servant->lazy]] [[announce that you are about to leave the palace to look for them->leggo]]

Your mom is getting her teeth done (mouse-over: "teeth done")[ </style> <img src=https://www.elitereaders.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/ancient-mayan-dentistry-gem-teeth-featured.jpg> </div>] It will take a while before she gets back.. Your father is fighting somewhere but will be back in time for the sacrifice ritual of this evening. [[Okay I will go to town then ->leggo]]

You yell at the guards to get ready, all six of them have to be by your side otherwise you are not permitted to leave the castle. In full [[leopard gear->gear]] they await their orders [[Let's leave->go]]

(text-style: "outline") [{(live: 0.2s)[ (either: "Bang!", "Kaboom!", "Whammo!", "Pow!","Beng!" )]}] [[oh shit..->Death]]

(text-style: "outline")+(text-style: "smear")+(colour: "white")[Yeah pretty cool right!!] (link-goto: "Okay", "leggo")

You walk into town with your six leopard guards surrounding you Like always the peasant people try to touch you.. Someone touches you... you let the guards [[kill the stupid peasant->kill]] you are in a good mood so you only let them [[cut his hands of->kill]]

When the evening falls the canoes are taken out, the smaller boats are the only way to get through the narrow canal and invade Bacalar.. [[invade the Spanish quarters->fort]] [[create some chaos in the village->vil]]

You walk into your father, together you walk to the temple where the ceremony will be held.. [[It begins..->ceremony]]

There are people everywhere, all looking at the great temple where the priests has begun speaking. What he says is pretty boring to be honest, but the entire crowd starts cheering when the prisoners that lost the ball game of the day are brought forward.. [[..->kil]]

You are lucky, because of the Thirty years war Spain has drawn back all its important generals from the city! In under an hour the complete town is under your control. (text-style:"fade-in-out")+(colour:"red")[CONGRATULATIONS!] (text-style:"expand")+(text-style:"outline")[You now conquered the town of Bacalar.] [[start again->1]] [[or not->finish]]

You sneak into the village, you move swiftly between houses. When the captain gives the sign you go to the nearest house and.. [[you kill the men and take the women->blod]] [[you set the house on fire->fire]] [[Wait what?? I am not that brutal, I prefer attacking the Spanish instead..->fort]]

You take your prisoners back to the ship, hoping to get some money for them the next day. After a bottle of rum you [[go to sleep..->slep]]

You light up the houses, the wood catches fire quickly and people flee their homes in panic. You take some women as prisoners and return to the ship. Here you take some rum and [[fall asleep..->slep]]

(t8n:"shudder")[You just got killed,] (text-style: "fade-in-out")[LOSER] While you were sleeping the men of the village you just plundered got on a canoe and sank your ship. [[So what now? ->OK bye]]
