(enchant:?passage,(bg:black))(enchant:?passage,(b4r:"groove","groove","ridge")+(b4r-colour:white))Nobody wants to play for a team that loses all the time, even if it's a college team. Playing on a competitive team has always been a goal of yours, and as a natural competitor, you can't fathom a team with a losing record. You decide that football is the most important part of your college choice. You have [[school]] tomorrow, and you go to bed thinking this is what's most important for you.

(enchant:?passage,(bg:black))(enchant:?passage,(b4r:"groove","groove","ridge")+(b4r-colour:white))At school today, midway through 3rd period, your coach texts the team and says practice is cancelled. As your teammates rejoice, you think, "Should I hit the gym since we don't have practice? Or, I could study for this test tomorrow." [[Go to the gym]] [[Study for your test]] [[Do both]] [[Do neither]]

(enchant:?passage,(bg:black))(enchant:?passage,(b4r:"groove","groove","ridge")+(b4r-colour:white))You decide that the best thing to do would be to get a lift in, and you feel great. However, you forgot to study for your test tomorrow, and think it will be no big deal. You head to bed and wake up, realizing it's time to [[take the test.]].

(enchant:?passage,(bg:black))(enchant:?passage,(b4r:"groove","groove","ridge")+(b4r-colour:white))Since the material isn't the easiest, you sit down and study for a couple hours until you feel confident in the material. You fall asleep easily and feel ready to [[take the test.]]

The terrible realization that you haven't studied at all kicks in when you wake up, but you think you'll be fine. You head to school and it's time to [[take the test.]]

As you leave your class, you think that the test did not go as planned, but it's not the end of the world. Other classes await, and you head to your [next class.]]

You leave the classroom 10 minutes early feeling great about how you did, and can't wait to see your score. You wander the halls for a little to talk to some friends, then head to your [next class.]]

(enchant:?passage,(bg:black))(enchant:?passage,(b4r:"groove","groove","ridge")+(b4r-colour:white))You sit there waiting, staring into the empty space, wondering if you made the right decision. Only time will tell. [[One Month Later]]

(enchant:?passage,(bg:black))(enchant:?passage,(b4r:"groove","groove","ridge")+(b4r-colour:white))Weeks go by, you are sitting at home playing Madden when you sit back and realize that you are wasting valuable time. Its time to [[apply to colleges.]]

It is time for you to finally go and decide what colleges you want to go to. You now have to pick your future. [[Talk to College Coaches]]

You train and train and train. Everyday, you work harder and harder trying to become the best football player that you could ever be. A few weeks later, your mom notices that you've been coming home later than usual, and your grades have been slightly slipping. She asks you what is going on. As soon as you tell her, she yells at you and tells you that you wont have a career in football and that you are wasting your time. She forces you to sit down to look for colleges. You argue for a bit, but decide that you will look, but you must be able to play football for the school. [[Search for Colleges]]

After months of back and forth dicussion with many colleges, your options are narrowed down into 3 choices: [[The University of Alabama]]: A school with an amazing football team, and social life but not great academics. If football doesn't work out, you will be stuck. [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology]]: A school with amazing academics, but division III football. [[Case Western Reserve University]]: A school with great academics, but division III football team and weak social life. This is the closest school to home.

You tell your family about your choice. You chose the best school for football. You really think you can make a name for yourself as a freshman, and excell in Alabama. Your parents aren't happy, after all, they are the ones paying for your education. They yell at you, they tell you that there is no way you are moving all the way to Alabama to play football. After some back and forth, the argument ends. You go up to your room frustrated, but calm yourself down thinking about how fun football could be. //Some time later...//

At this level of football, your summers are cut short and football is basically year round. Your parents seem to have come around a bit and are excited for you to start this new chapter of your life, and you cannot wait to get out on the field and show what you've got. Summer training went well, and you think you have a chance to be a backup as a true freshman. Your skills have developed, and it's time to [[Put them to the test]]

Feeling confident, you step up, only to be met by a 6'4 senior who is projected to be a first round pick in the NFL Draft next year.

Alabama vs. Auburn never fails to produce some thrilling moments, and you can't wait to be a part of it. All of a sudden in the 3rd quarter, as you're out to block a punt, you hear something pop in your knee. That can't be good. You tell your coach and they take you to the medical tent. The face of the doctor is not what you wanted to see, and you go out for an [[MRI]] tomorrow morning.

(enchant:?passage,(bg:black))(enchant:?passage,(b4r:"groove","groove","ridge")+(b4r-colour:white))As you sit waiting for your results, you find out that you have torn your ACL.

With the excellent training staff at your school and with the effort you give, you can be ready to play by week 4 of next season. You decide that you want to be as strict and serious about your recovery as you can, and you are willing to do whatever it takes to be healthy again... [[February]]

(enchant:?passage,(bg:black))(enchant:?passage,(b4r:"groove","groove","ridge")+(b4r-colour:white))With an injury this bad, it's rare that anyone can return to the level they were at previously, and you think that there can be better things to spend your time on, like school and your social life. You do only the recovery that you are told and nothing extra, but your grades start to go up and you are enjoying the party scene on campus a lot. You still miss football, but there isn't much you can do now. [[March]]

The team doctors tell you that you can make a return to the field just in time for the 10th game of the season. Dissappointed, you think that you maybe should have taken recovery more seriously, but it's too late to dwell on that. [[July]]

(enchant:?passage,(bg:black))(enchant:?passage,(b4r:"groove","groove","ridge")+(b4r-colour:white))You are super excited, but your parents, not so much. They tell you that all your work in highschool has gone to waste. Years of football training and studying wasted to go to a party school like Coastal Carolina. You tell them that if you can focus on your grades, it's just as good of an education as anywhere else. You start to feel like a faliure. [[First Semester]]

(enchant:?passage,(bg:black))(enchant:?passage,(b4r:"groove","groove","ridge")+(b4r-colour:white))You get through your first semester, partying every night and every day. You start attending less and less classes as the days go by. You realize that college may not be for you. You start thinking about dropping out. [[Talk to Parents]]

(enchant:?passage,(bg:black))(enchant:?passage,(b4r:"groove","groove","ridge")+(b4r-colour:white))You sit down and have a long talk, school is not going well for you. You aren't playing football, you arent getting passing grades. Maybe its time to drop out. Your parents think about it and reluctantly agree. They feel like they are wasting money, and that you are wasting time. [[Drop Out]]

(enchant:?passage,(bg:black))(enchant:?passage,(b4r:"groove","groove","ridge")+(b4r-colour:white))A couple months pass by, and you start doing well for yourself. You reconnect with a bunch of highschool buddies, and realize that you have the potential to make an amazing sports media company. After all, you are smart, and you do know sports really well. [[Build your Company]]

(enchant:?passage,(bg:black))(enchant:?passage,(b4r:"groove","groove","ridge")+(b4r-colour:white))Your company does amazing work, quickly you rise to the top of the sports media world. Your life is amazing, you wake up every day in a mansion in Florida, working at a company you created with your best friends. You think "Maybe college really isn't for everyone" The end! [[Choose a Different Path -> next ]]

(enchant:?passage,(bg:black))(enchant:?passage,(b4r:"groove","groove","ridge")+(b4r-colour:white))Grades are your #1 priority. You are glad this was the case, since it paid off. You got in to Harvard. There aren't many schools better than yours, so you know it'll be a grind to keep good grades. However, there aren't many distractions. [[Move in day]]

(enchant:?passage,(bg:black))(enchant:?passage,(b4r:"groove","groove","ridge")+(b4r-colour:white))It’s finally August and your knee feels like new. You have been participating in all of the hitting drills and nothing feels weird. Your coach applauded your commitment to yourself and your team, and you’re ready to fight for a starting position… [[Camp]]

(enchant:?passage,(bg:black))(enchant:?passage,(b4r:"groove","groove","ridge")+(b4r-colour:white))Camp rolls around and it’s you vs. a senior for a starting job. Coach doesn’t play favorites, so it’s all up to you to win it. Your confidence and your knowledge of the game gives you an upper edge against your teammate, and you end up getting the job. Relieved, you head back to your dorm to study the playbook, since you can’t lose the job you just won… [[National Championship]]

(enchant:?passage,(bg:black))(enchant:?passage,(b4r:"groove","groove","ridge")+(b4r-colour:white))The season went very well. Your team went undefeated up to this point, and you have been receiving a lot of attention from NFL scouts. All that stands in your way from being a top draft pick is the National Championship Game vs. Ohio State. You’ve spent your whole life preparing for this moment, and you are as ready as you’ll ever be. It’s time to [[take the field]]

(enchant:?passage,(bg:black))(enchant:?passage,(b4r:"groove","groove","ridge")+(b4r-colour:white))After a nail biter, your kicker drills the game winning field goal and you can finally relax: you won. Before you can return to the locker room, scouts from 7 of the 32 NFL teams approach you and say that you’re high up on their draft board. You think to yourself that this is a dream, but keep your cool when talking to the scouts. [[2 weeks later]]

(enchant:?passage,(bg:black))(enchant:?passage,(b4r:"groove","groove","ridge")+(b4r-colour:white))You’ve spent the last 2 weeks thinking about whether or not to play another year of college football. You call your parents and talk it over, and they agree that they think you’re ready to declare for the [[NFL Draft]]

(enchant:?passage,(bg:black))(enchant:?passage,(b4r:"groove","groove","ridge")+(b4r-colour:white))You decide to forgo your junior and senior year of college to enter the draft. On draft night, you and all of your loved ones are sitting around the TV when all of a sudden, your phone gets a call from an unknown number that starts with 713. [[Pick up the phone]]

(enchant:?passage,(bg:black))(enchant:?passage,(b4r:"groove","groove","ridge")+(b4r-colour:white))Trying to withhold your excitement, you pick up and say “Hello!?” You find out that it’s Coach DeMeco Ryans with the Houston Texans, and he tells you that you are about to get selected with the 24th pick in the first round of the draft. You say that you can’t wait to get to work and are so thankful for the opportunity to play for such a good team. You can’t wait to see where your career goes… The end! [[Choose a Different Path -> next ]]

(enchant:?passage,(bg:black))(enchant:?passage,(b4r:"groove","groove","ridge")+(b4r-colour:white))In July, you have serious doubts that football is going to work out. You call your parents and tell them the truth. Expecting them to bombard you with "I told you so"s, they instead say that it's your decision and they will support you either way. You end up telling coach that you don't think you can come back from an injury like this, and that it's time for you to [[quit the team]]

(enchant:?passage,(bg:black))(enchant:?passage,(b4r:"groove","groove","ridge")+(b4r-colour:white))Coach was sad, but not surprised. He said "I could tell that your heart wasn't in it anymore. I'm sorry to hear that. Reach out if you ever need anything." Although you feel sad that you aren't playing the game you grew to love anymore, it feels like the world has been lifted from your shoulders. You decide that now it's really time to focus on your academics, since that's all you have left. [[Senior Year]]

(enchant:?passage,(bg:black))(enchant:?passage,(b4r:"groove","groove","ridge")+(b4r-colour:white))Your senior year is nearing an end. You have still attended every football game to support your former teammates and you're happy that none of you ended on bad terms. Your grades soared once you started to actually focus on academics, and you have a steady job lined up for you after graduation. You sometimes think back on what could have been, but you're still happy with your choices. [[Graduation]]

(enchant:?passage,(bg:black))(enchant:?passage,(b4r:"groove","groove","ridge")+(b4r-colour:white))Graduation is in 3 hours. You're ready to get out of this place and start your job, excited to learn new things. You recieve your diploma with a smile, and you're ready to contribute to society. You go out with your best friends one last time before you have real responsibilities, and you're glad that college turned out this way. The end! [[Choose a Different Path -> next ]]

(enchant:?passage,(bg:black))(enchant:?passage,(b4r:"groove","groove","ridge")+(b4r-colour:white))Your parents help you move in and you can tell how proud they are just by how they're talking. You can't wait to meet your roomate, as he also played football in high school, and you guys seem to have a lot in common. [[Meet him]]

(enchant:?passage,(bg:black))(enchant:?passage,(b4r:"groove","groove","ridge")+(b4r-colour:white))You meet your roomate and you guys hit it off almost instantly. You already love it here, and it's only been about an hour. The two of you walk around your dorm trying to meet new people. Most of them are fairly shy, but the ones that do talk to you seem pretty cool. [[End of freshman year]]

(enchant:?passage,(bg:black))(enchant:?passage,(b4r:"groove","groove","ridge")+(b4r-colour:white))It's the end of your freshman year, and you finished the year on the dean's list. Things couldn't be going better. Your roomate and some of your other best friends are going out to celebrate, and since you don't really get out much, you join them. [[Sophomore Year]]

(enchant:?passage,(bg:black))(enchant:?passage,(b4r:"groove","groove","ridge")+(b4r-colour:white))Sophomore year is a lot harder than freshman year for you. Your courseload has drastically increased and you have a lot of stress. You think of some ideas to reduce this stress: [[Drop a course]] [[Start going out]]

(enchant:?passage,(bg:black))(enchant:?passage,(b4r:"groove","groove","ridge")+(b4r-colour:white))You decide to drop one of your electives and take it in the summer virtually. This decision ended up being great, since you have a lot more time on your hands. However, you still have to pay to take it in the summer. [[Summer class]]

(enchant:?passage,(bg:black))(enchant:?passage,(b4r:"groove","groove","ridge")+(b4r-colour:white))You decide to keep all of your courses, but start going out on the weekends. This helps reduce your stress, but only on the weekends. You start to think this wasn't such a good idea, but you're having a lot of fun. [[Midterm Grades]]

(enchant:?passage,(bg:black))(enchant:?passage,(b4r:"groove","groove","ridge")+(b4r-colour:white))You check your midterm grades, and they're fine, but not as good as last years. You wonder to yourself if this is due to you going out. You decide that you're going to [[Keep going out]] [[Stop going out]]

(enchant:?passage,(bg:black))(enchant:?passage,(b4r:"groove","groove","ridge")+(b4r-colour:white))Going out isn't affecting your grades, it only affects your weekends. At least that's what you tell yourself as your grades start dropping. Not dangerously low, but low enough that your parents have taken notice. They ask you why your grades are dropping. [[You've been going out a lot]]

(enchant:?passage,(bg:black))(enchant:?passage,(b4r:"groove","groove","ridge")+(b4r-colour:white))You decide that it's best for your grades to stop going out. You hope that this change will keep your grades up, and you're thinking of other ways to manage your stress. [[forward]]

(enchant:?passage,(bg:black))(enchant:?passage,(b4r:"groove","groove","ridge")+(b4r-colour:white))Your summer class was beyond easy, and really boosted your GPA. This was probably the best decision you could have made, and you're ready for your [[junior year]]

(enchant:?passage,(bg:black))(enchant:?passage,(b4r:"groove","groove","ridge")+(b4r-colour:white))You can't believe you're already in your junior year of college. It's all been going so fast. Your grades are good and you have a lot of free time since you've been utilizing summer courses. What will you do with this free time? [[Start lifting again]] [[Start running]]

(enchant:?passage,(bg:black))(enchant:?passage,(b4r:"groove","groove","ridge")+(b4r-colour:white))Your grades have steadily improved as you stopped going out, but the stress is still there. You start to walk around campus with friends to relieve stress in between assignments and it seems to be working. You are learning to manage your time well. [[Nearing Senior Year]]

(enchant:?passage,(bg:black))(enchant:?passage,(b4r:"groove","groove","ridge")+(b4r-colour:white))You are nearing your senior year and are not sure if you want to [[stay and get your masters]] or [[graduate and start working]]. Both have benefits, but it's hard for you to decide.

(enchant:?passage,(bg:black))(enchant:?passage,(b4r:"groove","groove","ridge")+(b4r-colour:white))You ultimately decide to stay and get your masters degree, since you loved your time here and it has a higher starting pay than a bachelor's degree.

(enchant:?passage,(bg:black))(enchant:?passage,(b4r:"groove","groove","ridge")+(b4r-colour:white))Even though you still go out, you make a lot more time in the week for yourself to study, so your grades improve anyway.

''"DECISIONS"'' by Isaac Muravchik and Michael Paterra Decisions is a game in which you are placed into the mind of a 16 year old boy in highschool with his entire future ahead of him. He has the resources to go to college for football, but the decisions he makes will affect if he is able to do it. The choices he makes in highschool will determine what college he will attend, and what path his life will take. The intended audience for this game is high school students. It is for them to see that not everyone has the same path, and people are able to succeed even if they don’t go with the “right” option. [[Begin Game ->Introduction]]
