From Wikipedia: Fortunately, Unfortunately is a word game first played at conventions of the National Puzzlers' League in the late 1980s[citation needed]. It was invented and introduced by one-time NPL president David Scott Marley. The game is best played in groups with an odd number of people.
Gameplay
* One person begins with a sentence (e.g. One day Little Johnny walked to the local shoe shop).
* The next person tells of something unfortunate that happens (e.g. Unfortunately, Little Johnny was hit by a refrigerator.).
* The following person contributes a fortunate event (e.g. Fortunately, the refrigerator was made entirely of marshmallows), and the process is repeated.
The game does not have any specified ending point.

Unfortunately, they didn't have enough glue to glue on the nameplate, and therefore weren't recognized for winning. D:

Fortunately, Dean Kamen invented a machine that turns $1.47 into $10,000

Unfortunately, it broke.
(Didn't see THAT one coming, did ya?)
Fortunately, it broke in such a way that instead of $10,000 it produced $10,000,000,000.
unfortunately it did not turn it into us dollars but instead vietnamese dong
Fortunately, that still translates to over a half million us dollars.

Fortunately, the island also had, as a backup, a HEAD (Hamster-driven Energy Array Device) consisting of 100,000 hamsters in wheels, which could still power the machine.
