In case people didn't see it last thread, I have a shitty way of posting on 4chan but it's only able to happen on my phone and I'd sooner cancel the CYOA than put my players through the atrocious waiting that would happen if I were to continue Frostbitten on mobile.
I also made this thing.
At least I'm still alive, though I feel like it's going to be a while before this can continue. Apologies forever.

What quests have their own qt background poners?

Why not type out what you need on a desktop or laptop, put in a Google docs, copy then post it?

Running.
>>30233448

Sorry for the lacklustre session once more, I usually can make at least four to five posts a day when there's a "session day" but this time had a lot of things to take care of at weekends. Guilty. Nothing major happened so I'm not sure if there's a point to ask but if there is, perhaps my players can tell me what they think of the CYOA so far?

>>30233509

I did it guys, I didn't post in this thread or even read it for three whole days! I got out and you can too, all you have to do is not post...

Damn you to hell you freckled nerd God.

I think that Fic is the best artist out of our remaining active art QMs.

>>30233684
I think it is probably cai-
Fuck. Oh well. I suppose he never really was an art qm anyway.

>>30233684

Then it is a sad day, when a man who hasn't improved in four years is our best.

>>30233684
I think that bath is the best artist out of our remaining active artists.

>>30233684
Wrong

>>30233700
No Bath's art is consistently terriblewith unfinished skech lines and proportions going all over the place. The guy can't even make foals look like foals.

>>30233725
And yet, still better than fic.

High tier > Cain > rest of the mid tier > Fic > low tier.
Bear in mind this is with old Cain art. I have not seen enough newer stuff to know where he is now. All I know is that holy shit was it ever autistic of him to lock his art away.

>>30233725
I don't know, the super rough sketchy quality of it appeals to me.

>>30233773
He didn't like what the general was becoming so he left. It was a perfectly reasonable response.

>>30233796
You mean what he turned the general into.

>>30233725
Seriously though, unfinished sketch lines are a good thing, CYOA art needs to be fast and simple the majority of the time. Bath can draw just fine when it's taken to the next step, but it's better to leave it unpolished for a CYOA if it can't be done in a reasonable amount of time.

Too many CYOA artists and ask blogs go down the wrong road. They try to "improve" their art by making it more elaborate, then it becomes overwhelmingly time consuming and they're screwed.

If an CYOA artist wants to improve they need to focus on doing more with less, not make perfect pictures every time.

>>30233601

He had his fucking art deleted from derpibooru. He convinced himself his art was terrible against all evidence and people telling him itherwise, that has nothing to do with his opinions on the state of the general.

>>30233835
Emerald looks WAY to masculine.

>>30233773
You ever notice how it's always the most legitimately autistic posters who love to hurl autistic out as an insult?

What does that word even mean around here anymore? It's become a catchall insult like "dork" and that's pretty lame.

I know plenty of people with varying levels of autism, a lot of them have learned to be aware of how being autistic effects their social interactions. They're great people, it's not an excuse for being an asshole nor should it be an insult.

>>30233773
Stale meme.

>>30233932
I used autistic because I was feeling in too nice a mood to use pathetic.

What's going on in the general now? What's will all the stale meme's?

>>30233956
Well there ya go, just say pathetic. Also we already know how you feel, let it go.

>>30233932
They're autistic so they use what they're most insulted with as insults.

>>30233970
Even the memes have been driven away. It's remarkable.

>>30233932
At this point it is just a word for "thing I don't like"

>>30233983
That's what I was thinking too, it's kind of depressing to be honest.

>>30233773
Cain's problem is, was and always will be that he listens to the most easily triggered members of the community.

>his quest gets praised
>anons get triggered by the lack of criticism to go with it
>Cain snaps

>Anon warns everybody interested in the quest not to get worried by the thing most likely to scare new players away
>Anons get triggered and say he is repeating things even though it is fully relevent each time.
>Cain decides it is better people get scared off his quest

>Anon praises Cain art
>Anons get triggered that Anon used the word best instead of favorite
>Cain convinces himself his art is worse then it is and stops drawing and only posts what he does later draw in secret then has all his art removed from derpi.

>>30233986
No one likes Cain memes. Yeah. It's a problem.

>>30234010
I guess your sorta right? -ish?
Cain probably sees all his praise as a meme - which it is.

I'm bored. Let's talk about DH.

What do you guys think Rime should do after her tour as a night guard? Continue as a night guard regardless is NMM wins? Switch to the Solars? Open an ice cream business? Become weeaboo Cryomancer?

>>30234010
Being Cain is suffering.

It's like it was with poor Lis, self defeating but for different reasons.

I still can't blame him, his players are madness inducing, this whole place is really. I'm certain I would have dropped the quest long ago if it was me.

>>30234010
You forgot the third part of all of those.

>his quest gets praised
>anons mention how it's blind mindless praising
>Aussie spergs out about how it's the best for hours
>Cain snaps

>Anon repeats the same thing over and over
>Anons tell him to stop repeating himself
>Anon spergs out about how it's relevant to repeat himself over and over
>Cain decides it is better people get scared off his quest

>Anon praises Cain art
>Anons point out Cain's issues
>Anon sperges out about the criticism
>Cain convinces himself his art is worse then it is and stops drawing and only posts what he does later draw in secret then has all his art removed from derpi.

>>30233983
Is that why those few times preservation was brought up it got several weirdly aggressive responses?

>>30234035
>all his players are madness enducing
Probably. All except me that is! I'm smoothie craving inducing.

>>30234025
>What do you guys think Rime should do after her tour as a night guard?
Depends on if Nightmare Moon turns out to be a bad guy or not.
If moony turns out evil I say we give a little speech and start walking until we make it home or get killed.

Otherwise I say we stay on. We never know who may attack next. If we do the speech thing and by some miracle don't get killed we should come out of retirment if Equestria gets attacked though.

Whatever we do we should try and stay stationary to care for Word.

>>30234048
People reacted that way because the guy posting it had no self awarness whatsoever.

>>30234048
I honestly just ignored that conversation. It seemed pretentious.

>>30234079
I don't see how. It wasn't posted often enough to be preservation itself. I think I've seen it three times.

>>30234092
This.
The guy was trying to make himself seem above all us plebiens.

>>30234099
Because evety time it happened people told him to fuck off. That is what indicates the lack of self awarness.

I seem to recall at least five.

>>30234125
But we were just talking about the morons in the thread who sperg about stuff over and over. Wasn't that who he was talking about?

>>30234042
This except
>Cain convinces himself his art is bad as it is

>>30234048
I'm pretty sure, and it's why I posted that post about autism. Perseveration is a clinical term and I feel bad about using it. It was a shitty thing to do but I was really frustrated. Recognizing it in action and seeing others feed into it and unwittingly reinforcing the behavior was driving me nuts.

>>30234135
Did he ever even bother to provide evidence of his claims?

>>30234070
Naaaaaah that's dumb. Evil or not, no one wants unnessisary. Speech against NMM = death or being ostracized by your peers.

And wasn't it obvious from the start that she's supposed to be evil? Like a Lawful Advil kind of evil. The ends justify the means kind of deal.

Sticking to which ever side that wins and keeping your trap shut will make Rime's life less shitty.

>>30234092
It's gets pretty annoying. Yeah.

>>30234136
Pretty much every artists dilemma. Nothing new.

>>30234141
Evidence? You mean you haven't noticed the posters who just repeat themselves every thread?

>>30234135
Yes, and it wasn't just me, I just introduced it.

>>30234147
>And wasn't it obvious from the start that she's supposed to be evil?
Not really. I mean she chose a blatently bad name but that can easily be dismissed as her sisters betrayal making her go a little crazy. Her reasons for starting the war (if true) were perfectly reasonable.

>>30234101
That wasn't it at all, I'm quite the pleb. I'm just an oldfag who was tired of seeing his thread get shit on everyday.

>>30234159
And the reason is???

Your have to be blind to miss it. NMM is a bad guy. Horus is a bad guy. She's doing this war cuz she didntvhave enough worshippers or something. That's OOC knowledge.

>>30234173
>That's OOC knowledge.
Exactly. Besides a twist is entirely possible.

>>30234153
Conversations repeating in generals is pretty commonplace, but there is at least one guy that will repeat something randomly out of the blue every now and again. "I'm still mad the BH players told me to fuck off, weh" and such when there wasn't any conversation resembling that around it. I haven't noticed it much recently, so it seems that he might have corrected the behavior, which is a good thing. Or he might have realized he's not the self-defined martyr he thought he was, either or.

>>30234193
So ignoring which ever side might win over all you want Rime to retire at the end of the war and adopt Word? I got that right?

>>30234206
Not really retire but request a stationary placement so we don't get shipped around the country a bunch.

But if you do that then the quest ends. The quest is only in the 30k era when compared to Warhammer. There's still the 40k era left.

>>30234173
People do twist endings sometimes.

>>30234235
All things must end, Anon.

Cain. Cain. Hey Cain. HEY!
.....
Can Love Bloom spin off for your quest, except the roles are reversered and Rime is the Elder chick and the Vindicare Assassin is an Elder stag.

>>30234247
That's not what I'm trying to point out to you.
I think YOU want the quest to end early when there's still content.

>>30234272
That wasn't me. Anyway although I would request a stationary posting if we were to go to war again I would happily start traveling again.

>>30234322
So acting as a local guard? Why a guard and not an ice cream sales mare?

I never really had a problem with them myself. Except maybe the one time they filled up half a thread talking about labor camps.

>>30234605
To be honest most of the DH player hate is leftover iFag hate. And most of the iFag hate was just protecting the quality of his (grammer) onto the quality of the content of his posts.

Looking back I feel ashamed of myself.

>>30234768
I disagree. I can feel bad for iFag because he tries to be anonymous and he tried to improve his grammar. He makes an effort.

The DH players that were irritating (which is not all of them, mind you) made no effort to stop pissing people off even after it was repeatedly explained why they were receiving such negative reactions.

>>30234787
DH was a great cyoa. I miss it.

>>30234787
I am fairly certain those are not Darkest Hour players. His players do stuff that pisses Cain off sure but everything pisses him off. The stuff annoying the rest of us is likely just people whitekniting Darkest Hour players.

>>30234410
Bug!

>>30234787
I still don't like tyupo1. Or whatever his username was.

>>30234805
No, it really isn't. It took five threads to get one interesting character, and it was a fucking knife. Does the story get better? I dunno. I'm still reading it and it doesn't seem to be improving.

The dialogue is stilted, the characters lack depth, the world is a mystery to me, and it's an utter slog to trudge through.

There is no substance here to enjoy. Those who enjoy DH are people who have either a lot of time, patience, or autism.

Here's a good test of the raw depth of the characters in DH- how many of the characters in DH can you describe without referencing their job, appearance, or abilities?

>>30234833
Nobody has ever claimed Darkest Hours strength is in the characters.

The character interactions on the other hand. Personaly what I love most is the combat.

Still I am sure Warlock apreciates the critque. A lot of his initial problems were caused by not getting any that did not boil down to
>Writting
>Edge

>>30234860
>Nobody has ever claimed Darkest Hours strength is in the characters.

>The character interactions on the other hand

What about the character interactions?
The fact that everyone talks the same?
The fact that no one speaks like a real fucking person?
How about the fact that after reading 50k words I still dont know anything of note about anyone?

/cyoa/.. it can't go on like this.

>>30234902
No this is good. Before this the closest thing to a critque Darkest Hour had gotten was somebody who revealed months after they dropped it that they did so due to how much time was spent in combat. The lack of critique of Darkest Hour is what sent the qm mad to begin with and this might fix it.

>>30234983
And it's all the DHfags fault.

>>30234957
Then start a conversation.

>>30234957
But conversations about other quests always result in arguments. Darkest Hour conversations result in arguments as well but the argument is always seperate from the conversations topic.

And as a third angle every conversatiom about Hail or Broken Hearts is about an argument.

>>30235051
>But conversations about other quests always result in arguments
Now that I said this I wonder if I am wrong and was simply thrown off by the autism over big mare powers.

>>30235051
So we're currently arguing about arguments about quests? That's level 1 meta arguing.

>>30235104
We often reach level two. Arguing about arguments about arguments. I have even seen us reach level three on (thankfully) rare ocassions.

Anon, we've been over this. He was irritating so we poked him with a stick. We figured out what he really meant the first 500 times he explained it.

Surely there are some other things about Broken Hearts that warrant discussion, hmm? Something other than a suggestion one guy made one time and then dropped?

>>30235563
Lying implies an intent to deceive. I was just poking the irritating guy with a stick. I didn't care if he believed me.

Good job Anon, you brought it up when there was a conversation that could lead to it instead of randomly. You're doing much better.

>>30235589
Were you there? He said his position, people told him to fuck off, he explained his position, people told him to fuck off for a different reason.

If people said stupid things to him after he couldn't let go that's on him.

>>30235589
>no one has ever tried to push a quest towards lewd that's ABSURD
Lurk more.

>>30235589
We did try telling him to shut up first but that didn't work.

>>30235584

>>30235597
I have stayed out of this argument so far but

So people told him to fuck off for explaining his position.
Between the wind shit and the Broken Hearths lewd stuff I am starting to notice a pattern there.

>>30235584
I like you. Not actually following your quest, but you're okay.

>>30235619
>So people told him to fuck off for explaining his position.
No. They told him to fuck off after he explained himself because they disliked his actual reason too.

>>30235619
Yeah. Turns out if you keep arguing for your position after you've been told to fuck off you'll get told to fuck off. What a fucking pattern.

>>30235619

>>30235640
>I don't like an idea so I am going to kick and scream about it.
All you need to do is say I still don't like it.

>>30235667

>>30235674
It was the other people who could not fucking let it go first.

>>30235671
We tried telling him no and he wouldn't shut up so we moved to fuck off. You are on 4chan. Telling someone to fuck off if you don't like their idea is a time honored tradition.

>>30235682

It's nice to get your opinion on it, say something that's worthwhile next time.

>>30235682
He seems fine to me. Maybe you should stop white knighting idiots so hard.

Look, guys, I get it, you didn't like what he suggested, but you are literally arguing about an argument. This isn't quest discussion. If this is all that comes of having Broken Hearts brought up, I think I change my mind, and would rather it not be discussed at all.

>>30235579
Thanks anon, I try. I'm not used to writing canon characters, and am glad I'm doing a good job of it.

>>30235688
That's just not true. The guy who keeps talking is the guy who can't let go. What could the guys telling him to fuck off not be letting go of? Were we not letting go of telling him to fuck off because he couldn't stop talking?

I think I worked out part of why people reacted so badly to the delta p hate unicorns thing.
The qm fucked up and made the unicorn a waifu.

So how about them pones?

>>30235771
There wasn't a particularly bad reaction to the hate unicorns thing. The players just went 'lelno' because none of them felt like it. The QM could then either justify it and sway enough players over to not be forcing it or roll with it in some other way.

The 'waifu' was incidental. And not much of a waifu at all.

That's pretty much what I fucking said. He was a retard for engaging with people who misunderstood his motivations but you were the bigger retards for not accepting that he had no desire to make it lewd.

>>30235786
No, we need something that'd split /cyoa/ right in half. iFag, Cain.. it's a vocal minority getting upset, a mix of trolls and evangelists bringing them up or defending then, but the majority just tries to ignore it.
We need something that everyone feels like having to get involved in.
There might be nothing like that yet, but boy am I going to bring it up once I find it.

>>30235794
>players cannot deal with one preset character trait.
Those are some pretty shitty players. Sure you cannot make a character entirely premade but when it is only one trait players should fucking stick with it.

>>30235804
>That's what I said
Oh, so you admit that they knew his motivations and didn't care. Thanks for admitting that he and you were the retards there. I don't know why you keep trying to argue about other people's motivations in arguing with him as if you'd know them.

>>30235794
This. Players like getting to choose things more than being told things.

>>30235804
>>30235763
As per agreement you are now an asshole who cannot let things go.

I say we play a nice round of board game online later. 16 whole people can take part and by acting like dicks to each other we can get it out of our systems and be more civil in /cyoa/

>>30235818
Sounds like you're a shitty QM if you think you can force character traits your players disagree with. Or just retarded if you're not a QM.

>>30235820
No they were wrong about his motivations. you were retards for thinking he wanted to make it lewd and he was a retard for trying to convince you otherwise.

>>30235840
So by your logic you're retarded for thinking you know their motivations when they've stated otherwise. And there's no real point with arguing with a self-admitted retard.

>>30235840
For god's sake shut the hell up. Nobody gives a shit anymore.

>>30235840
No, he was a retard for pushing for it and then thinking anyone gives a fuck why he wanted it. Here's a tip because you're clearly a little slow: people lie on 4chan. Usually when they want something that they know they can't just ask for. Like lewds in a foal quest.

Hey, hey, hey. I have a question idea that might help things.

What made you like CYOAG in the first place? Why do you post here?

>>30236608
Stockholm syndrome

>>30236608
I'm only here to post Whispens.

>>30236608
they kicked quests out of /tg/, I was on /mlp/ before that but never got into the cyoa side of things.

Oh cyoag
fucked if I know you are all a bunch of fucking faggots. Maybe it was because the royal guard thread was so shit it made you look good in comparison.

>>30236608
a place to talk about CYOAs

>>30236608
I used to see CYOAs all the time while browsing the board, but didn't think I'd be able to run one very well.
In any case, I was underage b& and not very computer savvy in the first place, and was worried if I posted, some 4chan task force would come arrest me for violating the ToS.
So I wrote some mediocre fics on FimFic, until that got boring. Then I started questing about nine months ago, which was also my first interaction with the general, and my first consistent period of posting on 4chan in general.
And now I'm writing this post. I genuinely love this place. It's given me friends, given me reasons to draw and write on a consistent basis, and generally just brightens my day.

>>30236681
Oh wait it was also this
>>30236684
I Think I initially came to find something to play though.

>>30236694
I was underage b& when I made my first disastrous attempt at a quest on /tg/.
Taught me an important lesson. Either provide every little bit of backstory needed to justify everything or very little backstory. If you meet it halfway with semi detailed stuff people will pick it to pieces.

also my grammar was fucking atrocious, you people think I was bad when I first came here, you know nothing.

>>30236608
Well I'll go ahead and answer this question myself since it got some responses.

I was really impressed with how creative and clever this place could be. The self awareness and appreciation for silly fun reminded me of the early days of pony.

It was an environment I hadn't encountered from this little pony culture in a long time. Interacting with other anons was a lot of fun and also helped distract me from craptastic shitshow that was my life. What I liked most was the tangental little things that came out of discussions, it was a fun little community that everyone could participate in, even if they didn't have time to actively play all the CYOAs.

Then the CYOAs I was playing dried up and I began to plan one myself but never found the time. It's mostly just this now.

Hmmm, I do find that adorable. I seem to have a weekness for crazy nerd ponies. I might be part of the problem.

>>30236927
Oh yeah /qst/ was terrible. I would not be surpised if some people came to /mlp/ for the first time to get away with it. I hope they don't decide to move the current /aco/ quest to it.

>>30236943
*get away from it.

>>30236927
We were so afraid of derpibooru we ignored the threat from within. Now CYOAs will forever be taken too seriously.

>>30236943
What makes /qst/ so terrible anyways? I briefly looked at it and I have my own opinions why it's terrible, but I've never heard any others.

>>30236978
It has been a while so my memory is hazy and some of these things may have never been true
>ids
>can only be running one thread at a time
>ids
>no built in audience like /tg/ had
>ids

>>30237025
Oh jesus fucking christ why is it so active. I would have though everybody would have decided it was not worth it.

>>30236978
1) the IDs mean that each person is only anonymous once per thread
2) by segregating out quests there is nobody new who will come by and stumble upon quests like in here
3) the idea of giving OP additional options for text formatting that other anons don't have offends my sense of egalitarianism

>>30236978
Advertisement.

On /mlp/ someone who has never heard of cyoas before can find one on the front page and be exposed to the medium.
On /qst/, only people who already know about the board are players.

>>30236978
It changed /tg/'s quest format entirely and removed their source of new blood, creasing a cess pool of filth. Most of the new baubles they got actively help hurt questing.

The most crippling problem is removing the source of new blood and removing quests from their original places, creating an environment with a very limited selection of quests by the same people. No one goes to /qst/ to find an /o/ quest.
Putting them on a full board with a 750 (from 350) post limit and 3k words changed the format dramatically, changing it from speedy posts and quests to being able to plod along like /mlp/. /tg/'s thread death speed is an hour on a slow night, bumping quests that aren't running and aren't running rapidly doesn't work well. So /tg/ ran in sessions as opposed to /mlp/ and /qst/'s more plodding format.
IDs encourage internal thread drama and identification. Namefagging is through the roof.
Auto-permasage just means you have a short window to get attention for the 14+ days your thread will be on the board.
No lewd. Period, text or image.
Text formatting that is attatched to your IP in a world of dynamic IPs, rendering it pointless.

Overall the only good thing about it is that the drawing app was enabled on the board. No one uses it seriously because any artists would rather use something that's not shit, but it's fun to play around with. Everything else was a terrible idea that just hurts quests/questing.

>>30237025

>trusting
Basically stupid
>emphatic

Only occasionally used with 0 influence on character

To sum it up she is kind and stupid, which fits a great deal of other MCs.

>>30238259

>>30236608
Inept shilled it in her threads and started posting here more frequently, so I came to see what the hubbub was about, and someone locked the door behind me when I entered.
I bet it was Inept. All this was just another one of her traps to torment her players, and now she gets enough tears from this hell that she doesn't feel the need to violently murder pones in quests anymore, generating more tears from the players who developed Stockholm syndrome and liked it that way.
Why Inept? Why do you do this to me? What did I ever do to you?

You grin at her and slurp up the rest of your syrup-soaked breakfast. “Aw shit,” you say, giving her a grin. “Does that mean what I think it means?”

She snorts and nods. “Yeah,” she says, and pulls out a notebook. Unlike the racing notebooks which are generally torn up and heavily used, this one has been carefully preserved, and she carefully keeps it away from any possible sources of stickiness as she opens it. Inside are still more designs: designs for clothing.

You stand up and saunter over to the counter to turn on the radio. Some dumb but fun pop song is playing and you crank it up and you slide in next to her and take a look at the book of designs, pointing at one. “I still like the Dread Son design,” you say. “The fantasy detective wizard schtick is just so freakin’ cool.” You say.

She nods and flips over. “Yeah… but I don’t know how I feel about our design for it,” she notes, rubbing her chin with a fetlock. “Didn’t we base it off of the cover and not off of the actual character himself?”

“So? The cover has a hat. It looks way cooler. What are we gonna do otherwise, tall skinny-ass guy?”

“Well, shouldn’t it be as close to the original as possible?” She asks, flipping to a fresh page and starting to sketch out a design that was more in line with the actual, in-book descriptions.

“What?” You say and shake your head. “Nah, it needs to look cool. That’s the entire point of cosplay.”

“Oh excuse me,” she says sarcastically. “Let me just go back to my car design and add like, chains and spoilers everywhere to make sure it looks cool. Who cares if it does the thing a car is supposed to?”

“Hey there, Miss Strawpony fallacy,” you say, pointing at her. “A car is MEANT to go fast. A cosplay is MEANT to look cool.”

[1/8]

>>30239433
The two of you look deeply and intently into each other’s eyes, tension sparking between you for a second as neither of you are willing to back down… and then the two of you break out laughing and she flips to another page. “Let’s come back to that one,” she says.

“Right,” you say, and you flip there until your finger comes down on a page featuring a guardsmare with an eyepatch. “Did we ever move forward on this one?”

“No… but we have a lot of junk in the garage right now. It wouldn’t be like, actual armor but we could maybe throw some stuff together that looks like it.”

You cluck a couple of times thoughtfully before nodding and pulling out a pocket flipbook and scratching a few things down. “Paint, coat and mane die, prosthetic horn… I mean, I could do it but it would probably work better on you.”

“Eeeeeh… I’m an Earth pony and you’re a hippogriff. Neither of us will really be perfect on this end of the scale. Might as well have the more physically fit one doing the outfit,” she says while she scratches in a few adjustments based upon your measurements.

“Hey, if you want to join me for some of my workouts,” you say, poking at her pudge until she swats your claw away with a hoof.

“EASILY the best part of being a mechanic instead of a driver is that I don’t have to get up at six A.M. every day,” she says drily. “Other than the constant, terrifying threat of death. But we’re not talking about racing right now!”

“If that’s the case, should you really be doing any more welding?” You ask. “LIke, I like the design, but if it’s too much like work…”

She shakes her head. “This’ll be a piece of cake, and decent practice for when we actually get back to the welding thing in a couple of days. Plus, if I make a single mistake you’ll be uncomfortable, but you won’t die.” She checks back to look over you once more. “Probably.”

[2/8]

>>30239434
You snort and nod, jotting down a couple of extra notes. “One beaked royal guardsmare it is,” you say, and tear it off. “This is all in the budget?”

“Don’t spend seven hundred bits on mane dye and paint,” she says with a bemused smile. “I’ve already planned for things like this, don’t worry too much beyond that.”

You nod and pop off to the store, hearing the telltale clunking of Lug Nut getting ready to do her thing as you head off. Just beyond is the lovely burg of Marewaukee. Well, lovely is a bit of subjective term, especially in the part where you live. It’s not a particularly bad place to live, but there is a general air of destitution and one hell of padlock on your front door. Still, the city itself is pretty nice, lots of different types of ponies who get along relatively well. You nod as you pass some bats huddled around on a street corner. They got you. You’re cool.

Eventually you arrive at the local convenience store, the “Get It and Go”. Convenience store is right: they seem to always have whatever you need, no matter how esoteric. “Morning, Reg,” you call to the elderly bat stallion behind the counter, who gives you a sullen look and then nods once. He loves you, clearly. You pick through the aisles and pick up a pack of Big Mare, the dye, some snack cakes, and a couple of cans of spray paint. You throw it up on the counter and pay up, Reg nodding at you as you head back to the apartment.

Returning, you check in on the garage to see Lug finishing up the base of the armor. You close the door to make sure you don’t cause an accident or something, and set everything down and take a seat. You only have to chill for about thirty minutes or so, though, as it only takes about that long before a triumphant Lug bursts out of the garage, a suit of faux-armor in tow.

No no, this is drone 215, that's drone 4867. How can you claim to know which bugs are for suffering if you can't even identify them.

>>30239438
You squawk and nearly fall off of your chair before you realize what’s going on and right yourself, looking back over at her. Putting the armor on the table, she looks it over. “It’s not perfect,” she says. “There’s never been a perfectly clear consensus on what exactly the art looks like… but I think it looks pretty good.”

You shoot her a thumbs up as you take a walk around it. “Best I think I’ve ever seen,” you say, and look down at the cans of paint. “Well. Here’s hoping I don’t goof this one up.” You’re almost nervous to start, shaking the spray paint can just a bit longer than necessary before you set to work. Like most paint jobs, it doesn’t start off particularly delicate, just hitting the broad fields necessary to get a rough patch of color down. Then comes the trim, which takes a bit longer, Lug mooching off your snack cakes while you’re too focused to complain at her.

When you’re done, you’re left looking at a surprisingly workable recreation of the armor in question, plus the eyepatch with the accompanying heart. You give Lug Nut a smile as you finish looking it over. “Damn. This one turned out kickass,” you say and take a walk back to the couch. You slump down, stretch out, and yawn in as luxurious a manner as you can.

“Tired already?” She asks as she starts to put a few pieces of fake jewelry you had on the armor. “You haven’t even done anything today.”

“Yeah, but I didn’t do my morning run,” you note. “I’m just gonna take a quick nap, get my energy up.”

She snorts. “Big lazy bird,” she mutters, and you make a rude gesture at her before you hammer out a quick nap.

A bit later, you step into the shower and take a look at the dye in your claw. Lug is standing next to you, heavy duty goggles still tucked onto her head and mane in its usual ponytail. She seems a bit worried. “Are you sure?” She asked. “It could stick in your coat for a while…”

[4/8]

>>30239440
“Yeah, yeah,” it’s fine, you say, brushing her off. “It’s got magic and stuff so that the color comes out better and it won’t hurt my fur. Wears off in 72 hours.” It was one of the cheaper brands, but they probably didn’t skimp on the enchantment. You turn on the water and start to work the dye into your coat. There’s quite a bit of it, so when it all comes out in a glob you have to work to start spreading it out as quick as you can.

“Uh, Comet?” Lug says, watching you with a bit of concern.

“Just a second Nutty,” you mutter as you start to focus on spreading it out a bit more evenly.

“Comet…” She says, standing up off the closed toilet.

“I’m kinda busy,” you say as you finish spreading the goop over the rest of your coat.

“COMET.” She says intently as she stands next to you.

“What?” You say, looking from your pink coat to look at her. Wait. What? You look back down and your vision blurs for a second as your brain tries to blot out what you’re seeing, but reality wins out (as it unfortunately often does) and you’re left staring at the awful, awful truth: your coat is pink.

“GAH!” you say, and grab water to try and splash it out. “WHY IS IT PINK.”

“I DON’T KNOW!” Nutty says, looking around with a panic. She grabs the box and starts reading it over. The water isn’t working: it’s dye and designed to be water insoluble. You turn the water off and grab a towel to try and rub it out, but it’s also designed to be used in day to day life so that gets you about the same results.

There’s some non-verbal screaming in the entire process, you trying to rub, wash, or claw the color out of your beautiful rusty red coat, Lug desperately trying to understand magical jargon on the back of the box.

[5/8]

>>30239442
It’s several hours later and you’re curled up in your bed, blanket wrapped around you.

“Comet…” Lug says through the door.

“Go away!” You say, shifting around and wincing as that lets you see just a bit more of the pink fur that is now your reality.

“The movie starts in an hour we can just-”

“I’m going to stay inside here for the entire week,” you call back. “You can’t make me do anything!”

She sighs. “You have to go to the gym and the racetrack,” she protests. “We’re two weeks out from the Haymaker Circuit. You can’t just skip a week of practice and exercise because you look a bit silly.”

You let loose a groan. Not a particularly rational counterargument, but Lug gets what you’re going for. There’s a pause before she talks again. “Are you really going to let this thing beat you?”

Lug Nut stands out there for a second, waiting, before she hears a thud and a skittering and then a creak as you open the door. “Fine.” You say with a heavy sigh. “Let’s go see the movie.”

In spite of your reservations, the movie turns out to be a fairly enjoyable time. After one person tries to make fun of you, you demand that they fight you in the parking lot and everyone seems to get the idea that you’re kind of touchy about the whole ‘pink’ thing. The movie is the hotly awaited Commandeer sequel. People said you were crazy for thinking it would ever come out, but you’ve finally been proved right. Excellent.

You’re in a much better move as the two of you arrive back at the garage, and the two of you sit down.

“I’m sorry, but Dusk’s return made no sense,” Lug complains.

“Who cares? It was awesome!” You say, miming a dramatic sword swing.

>>30239444
“He added nothing to the plot! All he does is act creepy around that one mare.”

“Hey, just because that one dumbass didn’t try to save him doesn’t mean he had to be out of the franchise forever,” you protest. “He’s a great character!”

She huffs, but sees there’s no dissuading you from this point. “Anyway, I hope you had a good time… but we should probably do a bit of final planning.”

You nod eagerly. The day off was great… but racing is still EVERYTHING, and you’re so close you can taste it. It’s time to finally settle in and make the perfect car.

“I’ve got two major questions. One will help decide the other. It’s what kind of car we’re going to be running for the Haymaker Circuit, but a bit more specifically.”

“As long as I don’t need a spreadsheet or anything,” you say. “I remember when you tried to get me to help with financing.”

She nods. “I know, I know. You’re heuristic, not statistical. You heretic.” She chuckles at her own joke. “Roughly speaking, we’re running a cruiser. That gives us the ability to add on three accessories and two weapons, which run on different types of energy. Unfortunately, we can’t swap one to the other for that reason… But it does mean that we also won’t suffer any speed loss for having them.”

“Alright…” you say. “Accessories are like, armor and stuff, right?”

“Anything designed to help the core functionality of the car… Which is to go fast,” she explains. “There are a lot of different options, but it would take me a while to develop them into something workable. For right now, I can produce armor, a one-use booster, or an auto-repair module. The catch is that if I have multiple of the same type, I can consolidate power and increase the effect of any given accessory.

“Sort of a power at the cost of diversity.”

[7/8]

>>30239448
She nods. “Yeah. Oh, or I could use an accessory slot to expand the crew space. That’d give you an extra pony, but there’s no efficiency bonus, really. You’ll be driving, so I’ll make it your call on what you want. Weapons are anything designed to stop other cars. Again, loads of options, but right now I can really only manage a catapult, a boarding deck, or a ram plate. Same deal as the accessories, but we only have two.”

“Okay, got it. What’s the other thing?”

“We’re going to need at least two other ponies helping on the car. You know, a gunner to use the weapons, a boarder to attack other cars, a grease monkey to keep the car fixed, security to keep off boarders and other things, or a spotter to keep track of information. You can have one pony doing a couple of job, but the more specialized a pony is, the more skilled they are. Still, a lot of cars run support roles, who are basically back-up for all the other roles.”


You nod, this is a lot of stuff you already know, but it’s best to get the details out as concisely as possible while you think about it. “So you need to know what role we’re looking for?”

She nods. “I can put out a wave of hiring stuff. It’ll be best if we pick at the Haymaker Circuit itself.” She bites her lower lip while she thinks about it. “That’s not a lot of time to practice together or anything, but it’s the most efficient for our purposes. What kind of accessories, weapons, and racers should we be looking for?”

We want at least two repair modules. We can pick up a cryomancer later to allow us to knock that down to one.
>2 repair
>1 speed boost
>1 catapult
>1 ram plate

I say we go with a double booster and a repair module, to go fast and have one get out of hell card.
For weapons I'm a bit more unsure, I think we should go with a catapult and a Ram plate.
Though I wish we could get an instant drying concrete cannon and a car-poon.

I think we should only pick up repair and armor, since the one time speed boost isnt gonna get used because "we might need it"

Additionally, a catapult is too risky, I would say a ramming plate and a boarding deck is better since missing a ram just means we're off course a bit, missing a boarding means that we have to try again, but missing a catapult means that we might lose a pony I'm assuming the catapult launches crew only, because its with the crew operated stuff

In short, my votes are:

>2 repair
>1 armor

>Boarding Deck
>Ramming Plate

Running.
>>30239941

>>30239451
I think triple boosters, because need the fast.
A repair modual.
And one weapon, dunno which kind, something we can use our natural driving skills to use. Maybe large spikes or blades that stick out of the side?

So we can sacrifice an accessory slot for a few member slot, is that correct? Then what about sacrificing a crew slot for an accessory slot? How many people can a Crusier fit? Was it 3-4 people including or excluding the driver?

Accessories:
>[1] one-use Booster (future plans to make rechargeable or reloadable boosters / nitro capsules)
>[1] Armor Plating
>[1] Auto-repair Module (how does it work?l

Weapons:
>[1] Ram Plate
>[1] Boarding Deck
-OR-
>[1] Large Automatic Gun (ask and look around)
>potential: [1] minor weapon weapon fro Comet on the chance she gets boarded. Stun gun, colapsable baton, flare gun.

Crew:
>Gunner / Security (boarding and stealing weapons and accessories)
>Security / Spotter (boarding and stealing weapons and accessories)
>Security / Grease Monkey (boarding and stealing weapons and accessories)
