Inept's a girl? Who knew? I surely didn't.

But uh, if you see this, I just wanted to let you know you're doing good so far.

And I skimmed through the last discussion thread too.
Don't worry about any changes you've made. I've jotted them down in the canon story.

Feel free to make up some new areas and stuff in Papoville cause I've got the feeling you might feel a bit restricted due to much not getting done during the run + no clue where things may head in the future.

The only major things you might want to keep in mind are The mane 6 are in a status similar to the captured star spirits in paper Mario. Meaning we won't see them for a long while. Everyone else is fine though (minus the princesses, I've got future plans involving them.
in the case the train does get fixed, be wary not to venture too far. Otherwise you could get lost and never find your way back.

You might be wondering why I haven't tried continuing things yet. To put things simply I'm in hell (not enough memory to take pics,schedule has me tied down harder than a slave, and so on)
Trust me, I've been meaning to return for a while now. I just can't.

tl;dr continue if you wish to.

Tell me about it man. Shit was comfy as fuck and I was really enjoying it, and then just like that it explodes into drama and sex. I guess I shouldn't expect any less from 4chan. Hopefully we can put on the damage control.
>>

Perhaps someday somebody will make a proper one. QM had it coming with making MC a trap.
>>
>>26980249
If only he posted the genders rather than tricking us.
>>
>>26980249
>>26980259

I don't know if I would blame that, I think he still gave plenty of opportunities for things to go either way. It just seems like there's a very strong pro-sex contingent of players who don't really care about anything else but lewd. Some of the lewd inputs were so crude I actually wasn't sure if the quest was being raided but it's the middle of the night so it seems unlikely. Lewd or comfy preferences aside, sex seems like a really bad decision for our character right now.
>>
>>26980303
yeah there are some pretty cancerous folks in cyoa who get thirsty as all hell. Stuck had a similair problem, i'm kind of hoping that sloths long break+the pastebin will end that so we can get back to making a good story instead of a cheesy porno.
>>
>>26980303
>>26980328

I think it's a problem of having the character's orientation laid out on the table from the getgo; since it's (usually) one of the few actual characteristics they have since there hasn't been a story to flesh them out yet, it gets a lot more focus than it might if it were revealed later on down the line after more interesting traits have been established.

Granted when you don't mention it you run the risk of eternal waffling and harem building because even without it someone is going to waifu everyone with more dimensions than a piece of cardboard, because the average anon is a very sexually driven individual.

So basically we're all fucked, no matter how much the CYOA MC is or isn't.
>>
>>26980372
gotta give respect to alchemy, when his players wanted a harem his response was 'alright, talk them into it'. The players promptly tanked the one stable relationship Speed had and every mare shot him down.
>>
>>26980372
Actually, I don't think his orientation has been set yet. To me it seems more like we were just responding to all of the flirting. If we remember how he reacted to the "test" he might be into mares as well.
>>
>>26977931
I'm not so good at humor of light hearted stuff. My sense of humor is very much reactionary, so when I just goof off it's not funny because I have nothing to bounce off of. This is a flaw I'd like to remedy.
It's something I was hoping that TES quest would help with.
I love the smut, hell, I wrote two fairly long lewd scenes in Vamp. I just can't into art.

I kinda dropped the ball this weekend. I just got my first real job in like two years last week, and I didn't plan my time off very well.
Sorry. 'll try to run either Vamp or TES some time this week.
If Vamp's thread is still up when I have enough free time I'll go there. If not I'll start up TES again.
>>
>>26980402

>>
>>26980447
don't know, i haven't been keeping up.
Last i checked Sako walked out on Speed in the middle of the night.

Did alchemy give up?
>>
>>26980328
Sloth hinted at lewd constantly, so now his players are randy and will stay that way until something happens to settle them down. If you don't hint at it those feelings/players will drop off. The QM controls the environment of the quest.
>>
>>26980503
Tail play? like how they seem to have somewhat prehinsile tails in the show?
>>
>>26980515
Yeah, something like that, but this one sticks with more generic horse biology.

Tweaked and re-uploaded. Thanks to Amm for edits.
>>
>>26980412

There HASN'T been an orientation set yet. The qm was giving us the benefit of being able to go whatever direction we wanted, even if we fucked it up. The Jaz reacted to forms of flirtation from both a male and a female, so I'm thinking the character's orientation would be pretty open.

Plus we could always just ask the qm if they set one or not.

At least he has a chance at doing it. No matter how remote.
>>
>>26982276
Sloth is the one with all of the knowledge needed to do anything, he just can't come up with any ideas on how to get out of this hole he dug himself into. He needs to go to the secret club and beg the other qms for help. They need to brainstorm ideas and if they fail to give him the inspiration he needs. Unique will be dead.
>>
>>26982153
Fuck. I love Unique, by far it was my favorite quest, and I was getting really frustrated with Sloth for not trying to fix it after the shit storm.

Reading this is very disappointing, but also somewhat soothing. I sympathise with Sloth, and I'm not upset at him, but the whole situation is just sad as fuck. If a QM has lost motivation then I do think it's best to not run, though I also think that the QM should at least attempt to give some sort of ending at that point. I'm sad that Chalk will never get that.

Entertaining the idea of hijacking Unique is interesting, but I simply don't feel like I could do it justice.

It would have to be very well collaborated with constant communication between the QMs.

Not just QMs handing off the job of running to each other, but actually taking time to write out the lore, possible events, and where the story should go.
The idea has potential to be a fantastic story, but it would be a heck of a lot of work.
>>

Gods no. Everything is already muddled and confused, multiple QMs would just make it worse.

It's really a point-by-point list of the exact same shit I rolled through.

Sloth, I don't know if you're even lurking here anymore. If you are, though, know that we understand. We're not pissed with you. Disappointed, yes, but not at you - we're sharing in the sadness that something you were clearly pouring yourself into is no longer fun or even pleasant to push further. And at least one person here understands what you ran into - and can say, don't blame yourself too much. Mistakes were made, but don't tear yourself up over it - QMing is fucking hard.

I genuinely don't understand why Sloth had such an issue. I mean the hammer dropped when he tried to fix a bunch of things that the players knew nothing about in a way that completely excluded the players from acting. Unique was about secrecy, hidden information, and a world that refused to explain its mechanics from the word go. The players don't and never knew anything for certain. If you can't fix your headcanon wipe it all out, get reacquainted with everything you said for certain in the quest and create something else. Every quest's lore is just a bunch of building blocks, even if you fuck up and knock them all down you can still put them back together in a different way that works.

>>26983040
There's certainly a focus on lewd. It's like using a magnifying glass to look at a penny. Except the penny is missing. At least you still have the magnifying glass!
>>
>>26983051
What threw me for a loop in that last thread was the implication that the streets had ponies in them that weren't trying to fight us. It was implied that it was a normal thing, so all the streets I previously thought were barren apparently had ponies on them.

are you fucking kidding me? there were ponies around in the streets when we were walking around? (i don't think i even read the last thread anymore which is why I don't know what you're talking about.)

>As you sprint through the polished streets of the Tribunal, non of the citizens or guards approach you
There's just citizens wandering the streets openly.
>>
>>26983183
I guess... we just entered a bad part of the city? Damn. Just damn.
>>
>>26983183
Huh.

I thought the city was more or less abandoned. The yellow fog gave it a very lonely and foreboding feeling.

But apparently it's a fairly well-populated city with semi-mutated ponies in gasmasks going about their business?
>>
>>26983191
>>26983199
That's just it. The phrasing makes it sound normal. So I can't tell if the streets with no mention were just a lack of Sloth saying anything or if they were actually abandoned.
>>
>>26983214
The part of the city we ended up in had boarded up buildings. We walked into one and stole shit. That part definitely had to have been abandoned. It was just that part of the city.
>>
>>26983214
Ah. Think I found it. it's right outside the Queen's place, filled with cultists and guards.

>You make it back to the Tribunal quick enough, racing through the streets and getting a lot of odd looks from the cultists nearby. They certainly do look like they are gearing up for war. Barricades and heavily outfitted Cultists are patrolling the streets. You are let into the palace by the guards and hurry up to the Queen's chamber.

Well yeah. I tried to make their actions very informed by character, Chalk Dust being controlling and caring in a bit of a twisted way while Pitch is usually more of a wet blanket who would probably be disarmed at the first action she actually took.

Dunno. I'll work on it, I guess. Are you basically saying I need more dialogue?
>>
>>26983420

Yeah. Reads a bit to much like an observation of the lewd, instead of the experience.
Chalk doesn't really think about or react to it.

A lot of the phrasing was awkward and could have been improved on a single read-over. Orgasming from some tail teasing and rubbing was weird. Awkward phrasing is a big passion drainer.

Hmmm
>>
>>26983941
The main problem with canon characters is that I will be autistically combing through every single response to see whether or not they're in character or not, which I don't particularly enjoy.
I think there's too much pressure on the QM to keep them perfectly in character, or they'll just end up being an OC with a canon character's body.

>>26984131
It wasn't really roleplaying, it was more like a CYOA with multiple player characters, only real interaction in it was "bash this. Move there. Make this with this and this.". No dialogue or anything. Only interaction between others were when everyone decided to kill eachother or shitpost themselves to death.
>>

This. But if there are multiple player characters and everyone can control/make suggestions for any of them, it's not roleplaying.

This is true.

I can only say what has already been said. Unique was absolutely my favorite quest at one point and while dissapointed there won't be any more I accept that you just don't want anything to do with it anymore. I'm also a little upset that the characters I liked so much are probably now in gay moth memequest. Shame Unique was as much a clusterfuck behind the scenes as you describe it.

Sci fi: mc is this weird slug lizard in this Anor Londo looking city. These wasp people can open gates to other worlds and have kidnapped ponies. Mc acquires one who tries to convince him to help them free the others and get back to Equestria.

Sol: Fuckwit Bumbleshit is not the mc's name, but he's been called it so often he wrote it on his last job application. His special talent is yo-yos, and it's not that he's very good with them, it's that he can actually use one without fucking it up completely, unlike literally everything else. Set in ponyville tentatively, although I might pick a named but unused small town somewhere else.

Derpy or Fluttershy. Anyone who thinks an OC is better can go fuck themselves forever.

But of the two which would be better? I figure this would be more concrete with fluttershy and the plot might move a little better but because derpy isn't as defined as a main character is there's more opportunity for player decision.

It's a shame, because that quest had a lot of comfy potential. I really hope it was the QM that invited all the tumblr users to the thread because it would be a real shame if someone else was responsible for ruining his perfectly good quest. I don't understand what drives people to call other communities in to play their /mlp/ quest in the first place.

Apparently they're both the ones clamoring incessantly for sex at every opportunity and simultaneously the ones feeling "uncomfortable" and "disturbed" about being a bisexual trap.

>>26986501
And I have to add, the fact the character is uncomfortable playing a bisexual trap. One mentioned they were "disturbed," during a passage where the MC got into an awkward situation with a griffon. So what? A CYOA is a story, and characters need things they're uncomfortable with to deal with. It creates conflict, in this case mental, dealing with nice complements, playing the pretty mare and being a general flirt while finding a way to avoid revealing your embarrassing secret (or only revealing it to someone you feel comfortable with). Anyway, I'll stick with it a little longer to see what tumblr does but this playerbase is making me consider dropping it.

In that case I'm very sorry, I have no idea what happened in your thread but it is not normal here and you don't deserve it. I hope you let things cool down a bit and keep at it, as I've said your quest has a lot of potential and it would be a tragedy to see it be killed by a freak tumblr infestation.

>>26986551
I feel like someone advertised it on their tumblr. A playerbase that cancerous doesn't just appear out of nowhere.

Also, I looked up what an amber moon is, and what the FUCK kind of drink is that supposed to be? It sounds like what happens when you tell the bartender to just fuck your shit up, senpai. Glass of whiskey, with an egg in it, because why not. Tastes like shit? Tabasco sauce for taste. There, quality cocktail.

The worst part is now I have to make one and try it myself. Thanks a lot Dit.

Jesus tapdancing christ people. I just wanted to play a Bartender and come up with new and interesting types of drinks using the various ingredients in Equestria. Crazy shit like “The Killing Joke” A mixture of Poison joke with various other herbs and ingredients. Come on people, we can salvage this mess.

>>26986780
I don't.

I want it to continue this time, though. There are actually some good CYOAs running.

Also no one asked.

We have to invent them, Anon. We are the bartender now.

>>26986789
Is it even worth salvaging? First the qm caves into shitposting for lewd and then he caves into whiny tumblr babies crying to get rid of the MC's unique trait and neuters his own quest. It was forgivable in regards to Gabe, but it gets rid of a ton of potential interactions by blowing the secret entirely.

These hot ass opinions, man.

Fuck off Driker.
>>
>>26986901
I feel the exact same. I thought it was a fun opportunity to get some conflict in the story, but apparently not.
>>
>>26986901

Yes but also consider that he wouldn't be a very good QM if he just ignored half of his inputs just because he didn't like them, either. The shitposts put him in a bad situation and there's only so much you can make of it. At least he maintained some integrity as a QM rather than coming off as a pretentious railroading asshole. We can definitely salvage it.
>>
don't fuck quest just finished, and it was AWESOME! the ending felt kind of rushed though
>>
>>26986957
There was also a significant amount of argument against both lewd and blowing the secret.
>>
>>26986917

Well at least the quest can't complain about not having fan art.
>>
>>26986973
We fucked?
>>
>>26986957
Wouldn't you say that there is some points that you should just ignore the people being stupid? I think some of those people that are being stupid don't think they are being stupid, but that doesn't change the fact that they are being stupid. It must be hard to pick out what you choose and what you don't choose.
>>
>>26987002
In cases like this, you please the people you want to keep.
>>
>>26986976

Yeah I know, I was one of them, but at least it was fairly even, it's not like Dit went out of his way to appease the tumblrfags. Although I will admit I don't think he should have gone with their commands simply because they couldn't actually articulate a reason for anything they wanted to do. They couldn't explain why their inputs would be the best for our character or would advance the plot or make things more interesting. It was just alternating between incoherently screaming for lewds and whining about how triggered they were by not admitting to being a stallion. But I'm trying to be optimistic and I still think Dit handled the situation better than a lot of QMs would have.
>>
>>26987037
That's also true. In cases like these, you need to just keep charging forward. Don't let the shitstorm brew.
>>
>>26987037

>>26987019

Also yeah, even if Dit was being a gracious enough QM to give every input fair consideration, I think it was clear that one faction of players was the more coherent and desirable playerbase and it would have made sense to favor their inputs to improve overall player behavior in the future.
>>
>>26986973
>and it was AWESOME!
I have no strong feelings about Don't Fuck one way or the other, but you sound like a. Huge. Fucking faggot there.
>>
>>26986994
nope.jpg. the whole point was to not fuck.
>>
>>26987103
I'm gonna side with this anon.

I thought the quest was alright. Not great, not bad, but alright.
I'm also agreeing that he sounded like a huge faggot.

>QM listens to the majority vote.

Oh no the qm is letting his players make the choices. This is why we need railroading.

Seriously though, the guy gave the reins to the majority vote; a thing we normally bitch that there isn't enough of, and now we are seeing what happens when you leave it entirely in the player hands. I'm down to keep pushing onward with DiT, but the qm needs to start examining each response post closely and discarding the shitposts.
>>
>>26987120
To me it sounds like the end of it would be when we fucked.
>>
>>26987146
I'm not bitching about majority vote. I'm bitching about the posts going up before discussions were finished. The "majority" was dwindling.
>>
>>26987146
I don't think any of that was actually said. We bitch at QMs who railroad, but I don't think there's been anyone who's said
>There aren't enough qms who follow the majority vote

And it's common sense that you don't go along with people who spam for lewd/shitposters. Just look at what happened with An Opposite Ending.
>>
lewd kills cyoas

Is giving the players the choice between two or three fix options railroading with switches?
>>
now >>26987323

>>26987312
That's generally looked down upon. You can give suggestions, but there should most always be an 'other' option.

Hey, be nice to Gunsmith. If I kept Vamp for myself the quest would have stayed bare-bones and wouldn't have lasted much loner than October. Gunsmith managed to take the chassis that I haphazardly bolted a cheap ass create-motor into for 24 hours of lemons and make it into a daily driver that can be passed down to Gunsmith's children.

>>26987312
You can do it the way /tg/ does. In their threads they give two or three fix options as well as ability to >imput what the players want themselves.
>>
>>26987369
RGS did that.

Just undo the whole blowing our secret thing and we'll be good. I'd like to play a trap bartender trying desperately to keep his secret even when dealing with a bunch of drunk stallions hitting on him. I'd even deal with Tumblrina's to do som
