I can't think of many quest MCs who are particularly interesting characters. I mean Renne of the famed Renne quest isn't very interesting. The rest of them sort of just has a generic archetype the players usually stick with that would make them boring as actual characters.

A lot of mcs are meant to be shaped by the anons.

So, I just got this E-mail and I feel like I should say something here because this has more to do with this place than my personal blog. Also I've learned that someone is bound to repost it anyway.
I don't think that I would be the best person to continue Colorblind.
For one, I would have to read through all of Colorblind, which may take a while. Also, from what I have read, Colorblind has a strange format that I would probably have to get used to to run it properly. From what I've read about Colorblind on this thread it seems like it's more of a psychological thriller and to do that right you need to have a consistent narrative pace. Unfortunately in my CYOAs are paced like a toy car with a pullback motor, which my posts in Vamp are a good example of as well as most of 11-54 which I only recently tried slowing down and forcing the players to solve problems with the environment in a relatively safe place, because I was a little disappointed with how little thought the players were putting in after I finished up Entrapment.I really wish I could get people to start paying attention to the environment again to help them solve problems.
Now from what I've read here it sounds like Colorblind is the kind of quest that has a level of surreal disconnect, that makes the world a mix of real and imaginary that the players would have to sort through, even though I would like to do something like that, last time I tried was during that terrible Halloween special I tried to do and I remember how bad I was at handling that.
Also, I've got two of my own quests that I'm running, I'm not sure I can take on three.

>I really wish I could get people to start paying attention to the environment again to help them solve problems.
We did, we paid attention to the part of the environment that said apollo was a paper tiger.
>>
>>25879141
>we
One person said that.
>>
>>25879210
Atleast two of us did, given i didn't send that.

Although that email isn't entirely accurate, bath was picked for writing a bittersweet/good end and it was largely on the basis that nobody else could pull it off amazingly well either.
>>
>>25879251
It still doesn't make sense to say 'we' as if there were wide-spread agreement.
>>
>>25879264
of the people who talked about it, it pretty much was. nobody forwared an argument against it.

Getting autistic over the use of the word 'we' here is a bit strange.
>>
>>25879403
Why would anyone argue against it?
>>
>>25879482
because they had a better choice?
I'm noticing a running theme on getting caught up on words.
>>
>>25879539
I'm just not sure why you'd expect opposition.
Also I'm not the first guy.

I spent pretty much the entire latter half of yesterday working on this, determined to get it done before the actual day it's made for. Though it seems I missed my mark by about SEVEN HOURS, there's still about 16 or so left for it to remain timely, and that's good enough.

He seems alright, but a little too /tg/ in his style for me, and with rather short and sometimes undescriptive posts. The one drawing he posted in the thread should also have been scanned, but that's personal prefrence on my part. Also, a couple of the posts seem to hand hold the players into a certain action, which I also dislike. All in all, he seems fine, but in the current saturation of CYOA, I'm unsure if it'll sink or swim.

You have just had a tumble into a radioactive art store.
Somehow you have gained the power to draw anything you wish within thirty minutes every time.

You also are locked in a quarantine for two months, meaning you have a bunch of free time as well.

You have full internet access, and your choice of drawing tools or tablet or whatever you like.

And you have one goal. Produce the best art quest you can imagine.

What do you create?

>>25883345
I would simply draw some art for every single quest instead.

I would ask about cross CYOA ships that didn't make it into Butt Touch Quest, hoping that maybe one of my favorite characters would make it back into the sexual pool of lewds, but then I remember that the CYOA pones that didn't make Hijacker's final list were omitted for a reason.
Remember if your favorite CYOA pone wasn't on Hijacker's final list then they are a shitty pony that shouldn't breed.

>Are you ever going to run another quest, SPES?

Absolutely. I had planned on doing something far sooner, until what was supposed to be a 1 month trip across the country turned into a 4 month one, leaving me generally unable to do much besides plan for the future. But the future is now, because I'm back in a questable location.

I'll try and get something started sometime in January, provided I can get my shit together by then and no other catastrophes strike.

I'm sorry I haven't had a thread up this week. I expected Christmas to eat up my time, and I didn't want this huge pause mid-thread.

That said, how would you guys feel if I ran for a few days starting tomorrow? Unfortunately, I won't be home for like 3 or 4 days for New Years, so that would cut into the thread. The alternative would be that I start back up right after New Years.

Personally, I'd rather not have this hiatus in the middle of a thread, especially since we're nearing the ending. I would hate to pause for half a week in the middle of something big. But I've been feeling guilty about not running and not saying anything, so I wanted to know if you guys would rather I run between now and New Years, or start up afterwards.

Humanities slaves aren't for living in favelas.
They are for non-consensual brushies, belly rubs and boops. You also have to bring them out into the fields evey day and work them so they don't get all pent up with unnecessary moop and if they've done a good job that day, you give them a sugar cube or a carrot and a friendly stoke of the muzzle while you verbally let them know how good they've been.

Dude, You didn't run anyone off. I personally just didn't have any inspiration to continue after the players were put into a situations when they lost their goal of killing Fierce Fang. What I kinda wanted out of vamp was to make it more of a detectivey type of quest with a truckload of grit and a series of clues research leading to a dungeon crawl through Fang's castle and ending with a standard boss fight. From what I read, you and the other QMs took the story in a direction that more of the players wanted and not the sudo-noir in Las Vegas quest I had started laying the ground work for.
>>
>>25892904
Something like that needs a lot of communication between QMs.
>>
>>25893006
Which is why it should have operated on 'fuck the previous QM' principle and have each QM do what they want. The nicey-niceyness is what killed it.
>>
>>25893027
I mean, I basically ignored most of what the others did. I assumed they would ignore the shit I did they didn't like.
>>
>>25893027
Well you do have to pick off where other QM's left off
so you can't just skip their part and throw in yours
>>
>>25893060
Addendum, that was in the beginning. FrankenAnon and I have a line of communication so it's different now.
>>
>>25893027
That would probably have been largely non-functional and led to exactly the same result: QM's with less popular routes leaving, albiet faster.

It's honestly amazing that Vamp got to were it is now at all.
If you consider that this whole thing started off because Quack gave up at the beginning when he thought that it was dead due to bat fagotry only for the quest get hijacked by someone who ended with go ahead and tag in as a QM if you what to. Really that anything stable came out of it is amazing.

I don't understand /mlp/. In most quests all you see is lewd inputs but when it's given a choice to do lewd stuff, the players suddenly change their minds.

Yeah, and that's what really screwed the thread; there weren't enough players to have made a majority above just one vote. I was hoping that the bits of drawfaggotry, however terrible, I could bring would help, but in the end it didn't do much. I would have confirmed the consequences with that slight margin before continuing, I have a feeling some players present at the time were that stupid.

Don't be so sure about it. We could simply abandon the place and wait for another occasion. It would happen anyway.

I believe it was a matter of honor and pride that she chose death for her beleifs.

She was a coward that should've chosen any option to live. I was kinda OOC to me.

Not quite. She was wary of the book since the time she tried to challenge it.
>>
>>25895512
It is what it is, on the bright side you'll know these things in advance in your next CYOA

>>25895514
No, just with a sentient artifact of evil, in return for potential casualties that weren't us with the option to negotiate for keeping the colt safe. Outright refusing every single thing was understandable before, including the last deal with no compromise was idiotic though. Did you really think we were going to survive AND complete our objectives without the crystal note entirely? She was wary of the power before, but not to the point it got to.

>>
>>25895596
Dude, do you really expect it to just save us without any tricks after it was so reluctant to give us at least a tiny shard of it's power, not even secrets, without sacrificing our own life? Aha, and our sacrifice would not be only payment for it's services, it still demanded more, but from other ponies instead of us. This artifact was shit.

We should have left the sewers when we still had a chance and look for another way to get the thief. And no, I didn't think we were going to do everything without the Note, I tried to suggest dominating it in certain way. Or at least try to do so.
>>
>>25895629
what kind of stupid shit is that? I wanna live. People aren't rats.
>>
So I've got this idea for a CYOA.
It starts out with the MC attending their mother's funeral where they talk with family and learn some things about their family. Then the MC goes to their mother's house to go through the things that she left behind all the while catching hints that something doesn't seem right with the way their mother died. As you look into your mother's death, mysterious things keep happening around the house and the towns folk becoming steadily more distant and irritable.
Don't want to go into the why, but do you all think that something requiring a setup that would take as long as it seems this would make it long enough to get to the meat of the CYOA?
>>
>>25895673
Sounds good, if you write characters and dialogue well.
>>
>>25895639
That's the price we pay for sacrificing everything that makes worth living. But at least we had the choice.

>>25895652
I think that the Crystal Note was just poorly designed.

When you think deals with the devil, you get a lot of good stuff outright, then you start paying later. For the Note, everything was like 'Okay, you get the thing that you might need in order to progress, but you have to give me a whole boatload of shit in return.'

It was always blatantly an awful deal. Not even close to worth it.

I think the QM mentioned that Sombra got his powers from it. I think that Sombra sucked the majority of powers from it, fuck if I know how, and then left Aurora the leftovers. I think the Note was trying to bargain as much as it could.

>>25895693
>implying
may I remind you of the CC derail?
>>
>>25894863

Well, okay. I'm not a very good critique anon, but I can do that.

The first thing is going with the last thing have seen. Are you a native English speaker? Some of the grammar and word choices were really wonky near the end and just the flow of things was off. I'd practice a bit more before trying again.

I'd also work on finding the fine line of burgeoning on too much fluff text (or how you actually describe things in shorter lengths). Some of the descriptions in the canal were kind of hard to follow.

As is usual in most critiques of CYOAs, could definitely work on your prompts. They got a bit better, but the first thread~ was kind of just... flailing around to do stuff.

The MC was a bit whiny, but I think it is from her place in the pecking order. She was pretty much alone except for the Royal Guard... and he got shipped off pretty quickly and replaced by prisoner mare. On the flip side, she didn't take Wax Candle's bullshit and she seemed pretty focused once there were objectives beyond what seemed impossible (or to solve said impossible feats).

The way you ended it makes it seem kind of like you were trying to force the Crystal Note deal since it was passed up the first time. It seems to me anyways, that could be wrong, of course. If I had been around to play, I'd probably go for it just to see what was going and to continue Aurora's exploits; yet, I was asleep.
>>
>>25895841

General overview: There's some potential here. You JUST DID IT and stuck with it, so that's one of the biggest things for a QM. Topic of the quest and when it popped up (was it because of the finale or just an idea you had before?) probably didn't help too much for popularity because people were expecting this kind of stuff to happen.

I enjoyed it a bit even though I missed playing a good portion of the time. Really, work on your fluffing and how to express ideas and you'll improve a lot. Also maybe get the ball rolling a little faster in the start of your next quest and that'll help get/keep more players. I, for one, will give another quest by you a chance. Maybe less EDGE next time though.

I'm all caught up on Crystal Warlock, and I have to say that was something, to say the least.

I have to say that I really didn't like the writing style. English is definitely not this author's strong suit, and I found myself confused as to what was going on most of the time.
Another thing I found confusing was what the main character's motivations were supposed to be. At times, she seemed like she was evil, enjoying being Sombra's apprentice and all that comes with it, and other times, she seemed to be avoiding everything to do with him and the note, and pursuing her own agenda to overthrow Sombra.
As for my opinion on the note, I'm sure that Vincent had something in mind for it, but the note's deals were just... Odd. I can understand the second one being a bit more reasonable, but the deal for the lifetap spell just wasn't right. Sacrificing too much to gain too little.

The note's magic just seemed wrong. It's not really a good idea to have your players' only options for combat be uncontrollable and random. There was a point where the note just decided it wasn't going to work anymore because Aurora hadn't made a deal.

On the ending, I couldn't really tell what her motivation was. It feels like she tried to spit at Sombra from the grave when the whole story she's shown no real desire to go against Sombra. The, "I just wanted to help," line makes no sense, since she had shown no desire to help.

The story seemed jumpy, difficult to follow, edgy, the MC was whiny, and I wish her motivation was laid out more clearly early on. I honestly couldn't tell whether she wanted to become the next Sombra, help Sombra, or free Equestria.

The death scene was fine, I suppose. I wish you had shown more of the crystal's progression through Aurora's body, and how she felt it. Death's the last thing you do in life, so make it significant.

I do like that there's some intrigue as it ends. Too bad we don't get to see if the thief and the colt eventually become successful.
>>
>>25896510
I always saw her goals and motivation as "don't die."

That's something I forgot about in mine that I wanted to put. Yeah, hers were kind of flimsy. I think Vincent was trying to get into the zone of Aurora being an undercover agent for dethroning Sombra/saving Equestria, but got there way too slow and made her too weak-willed towards shadow king to really do anything. I was personally rooting for her to overthrow him and become the new Crystal Queen, but that's just because I want my EDGE quest to be maximum overedge.

I'm writing a lore book full of stuff that the MC, in a quest I want to eventually run, would know that the player do not.
It will probably get a bit larger before I actually run the quest since I will probably need to add in more information about local land marks and stuff as well as a couple more local stories that characters in this area would know. Either way, If I could get some unbiased people to look it over and tell me what doesn't make sense or if the lore alone is enough to make this quest sound like shit that would be awesome.

Repost
>>25895841
>>25896510
I'm not a native speaker, by this point it is rather obvious. I really wanted to try making a quest in this sort of style but my writing is just not there yet. I'll try to simplify it as much as possible the next time I do it. I like my fluff text and strong comparisons that create vivid images, but I guess I was unable to do the descriptions justice.

The last deal with the Note was not really forced, but what the Crystal Note would have had done as well. There were a few things I wanted you guys to do, of course, but I never said no when you decided against it and did your own thing.

The idea for the quest was a mix of my own ideas I had at the time and the finale that allowed me to pour them into a proper setting. What I wanted for Aurora and what the players told her to do, of course, differed so that's why some of her motives appear to be wonky.

Her main motive was "I want to keep my life and survive" and her secondary motive was "I want to use my position in rank under Sombra to help ponies, in the future." She didn't like Sombra, nobody in the entire CYOA did. They were just using the circumstances to the best of their abilities. She could have had betrayed Sombra if many players decided to do that, or followed him completely. The only thing they did have was a set time limit, and that's it.

The Note did turn out worse than expected, as players just used the deadly Telekinesis and that's it, not trying to bargain or do anything with it. That's my fault entirely.

By the time Aurora wakes up from the dream her body is already half-dead so there wasn't that many reasons to describe all the gruesome details. Death is fast and usually unpredictable so that's what I tried to portray. At first the prompt was even shorter, but I decided to make it longer.

>Too bad we don't get to see if the thief and the colt eventually become successful.
You might. Thanks for feedback, I'll try to improve.
