This thread reminds me of some other great epic threads on other forums.
"The Never-ending Story". A few guys starting writing fiction involving each other. One guy writes as little or as much as he wants, and then someone else picks it up later. It's actually quite good, but I never tried to read it all, as it clocks in at something like 250 pages now a days (they had to split into a new thread after the big 200 I think because they were breaking the forum software with all the epicness). I've only read like 50 pages total myself... back when it was 40 so pages I read it all. I used to post a lot there then sorta fell away from it. Then it grew to like 250 pages and I'm scared to even TRY to catch up now.
"Open Project". An interesting idea for a FPS mod. One guy started out making some rooms in a level, then posted the project file. Then someone else took it for like a week and added stuff on. So on and so forth. Eventually when they had a huge level they were gonna make a storyline and mold the level around it. Unfortunately that part never took off.
"Photoshop The Previous Post". I actually forget the real name but someone would post a picture, and photoshop it somehow. Like put "God" from Monty Python in the sky of a shot of a desert or something. Then someone else would modify THAT picture. Such as sticking a UFO in the dirt and shopping in a "Welcome to Roswell" sign. And so on and so forth. This would go on until the picture wasn't even recognizable as the original, then someone would start over.
On a scale from NeS to Photoshop to Open Project, I'd say this is somewhere between Photoshop and Open Project, since not everyone can draw but it sure isn't anywhere near as tough as trying to make space station architecture.
