>>27607766
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the billy meme originated in the general due to a misspelling my Hijacker, the thief pone that Hijacker uses started because of the memes from the general, and certainly Choosie came from the general. So it's purely general memes.

We moved on from that months ago. The current satan of the general is summer. Get with the times.

I can respect that, anon. If complaining about secret club is what you enjoy, then I fully support your right to do so. I will even help you, by giving you secret club things to complain about, such as the fact that we get to hear all the dankest Res memes early.

Hey guys, just another status update cuz I feel I haven't kept you informed:

I should be free to run this Saturday. I've been a bit too busy to run a proper session as of late, so I apologize for the hiatus.
I plan on running one more thread of AtO before I have to take a break for about two weeks. I'm moving to an apartment soon and I'll need some time time to get things squared away.
I already have the next cover image ready, so I should be ready to roll this weekend. till then!

Pic related. Had some coon trouble yesterday. Bath did this awesome doodle of it.

>>27608199
I don't mean to rush you, but any updates on Lyraquest? It's been quite a while since the last thread.

I would actually love to run Lyraquest again.
I've been holding out cuz I wanted to finish one quest before I started, though.
Still... would you guys rather I run a thread of Lyra this time?

>>27608241
While I really enjoy lyraquest, and would like to play it, I know that more of your players probably prefer AtO, so I'll defer to them if they'd prefer that instead.

>>27608724
Neato. Can't wait, Mints.

>>27608724
See you on the weekend then.

CQ players have done it once again. Ya, let's just go ahead and ignore the potential possibility of having a cute demon pone companion like in JAD.

All we've done is just avoid risks all together and make the quest boring, which ultimately results in railroaded conflicts to keep it going. This "don't do anything, it's gonna absolutely kill us" mentality is way out of hand.

>>27608899
If I recall, there were people complaining about not accepting a demon companion in CQ like two weeks ago, too.

Just how slow is this quest?

>>27608914
The QM had some life things going on at the time I think, so not much progress has been made. All we accomplished is getting ourselves nearly killed again and annoying the undead leader even more.

Because walking in dark rooms with killer ghosts and eavesdropping the ones we trust is a more logical thing to do than trying to talk to a demon that just wants to get out from being trapped in a book.

>>27608899
considering what type of quest it is (and i don't mean lewd), does it really surprise you the type of players you get?

>>27608899
Wew just stop gettin into situations that will kill you. Then you can afford to take some risks.

>>27608965
Ya, kinda ran into that, but there's just so much wasted potential in this quest that could actually make it FUN instead of running away all the time. Though the players would rather keep running than to laugh at death straight in the face.

I mean, who could be afraid of this pone here?

>>27608988
holy shit, THAT'S what they're afraid of? What a bunch of pussies.

>>27608988
She looks like demon Pinkie. You fuckers better free her from that book and make her your friend immediately.

>>27608899
If they're that afraid of danger, wouldn't having a demon friend be a good idea so you'd have someone to help protect you?

>>27608988
They're really afraid of that thing?

Jesus, grow some balls.

Hey I'd be afraid of something like that.
But, I'm also the kind of person who would weaponize something like that, so my judgment probably isn't all that sound.

>Sharpie's spaghetti is finally about to get her killed

>>27609158
Well, we sorta need her due to the fact that Emerald encounters a monster or some conflict around nearly every corner.

Also, him and Joyride are planning to raid a hive full of hypnotic, poisonous giant wasps for a potion ingredient.

They totally don't need a demon who specializes in fire to help clear out swarms..... Totally......

>>27609217
Sounds like what they really need is to hire Nina Rouser but they could actually get by with Gar really.

>>27608988

On her form, see >27444222
She's already asked us to get the souls of other people for her in exchange for information.
She may be able to possess us if we open the book.

>>27609332
She chose that form because it's the one that suits her the most for this environment.

She said we can get her a soul OR she'll do just about anything to simply be freed from the book.

She can't possess us. We're already claimed by a demon much more powerful than her and she's afraid to tell us who it is.

>>27608899

I'm just pissed that after we finally found Joy and LS everyone was too afraid to go ahead and listen in. Arrgh!

>>27608937
>>27608899
>>27609402

>eavesdropping the ones we trust is

The longer we are with them the less I trust them.

Both times we had a chance to finally learn the truth about the amulet and our past. Both from the demon and from listening in on Joy's and LS conversation. And both times the players wimped out! Because they were afraid...

>>27609460
True, everything is literally falling apart around us in this quest, like how Hope went silent.

I'm seriously starting to think that Pip is the most trustworthy one here for information.

>>27609486
>I'm seriously starting to think that Pip is the most trustworthy one here for information.

Maybe but we might have messed up that chance as well. We never finalized the deal where she would give us info for freeing her, and now that Ruby is about to free her why would the demon tell us anything?

>>27607766

any link to club?

>>27609511
Ya, all we can do now is get Ruby out of the way and free her ourselves.

But once again, it's a perfect example of how the players like to waste opportunities and make everything ten times harder than it should be.

I asked them once why they didn't want to speak to Pip and all I got was "she's a demon, demons are evil" over and over again. Basically it's all just assumptions and prejudging..

>>27609545
>But once again, it's a perfect example of how the players like to waste opportunities and make everything ten times harder than it should be

Which is why more people need to voice what they want Emerald to do. That way a small vocal group of players don't derail or divert a quest.

>>27609898

Hmm... I might try that. Maybe not tonight though. It's getting late.

Also he got banned? Is it permanent? What did he do this time? I haven't heard much drama from him lately.

>>27609911
he's been banned ages ago, we never lifted the ban. Came in being a retard

>>27609936
So did I and I didn't get banned. :^)
What'd he do?

>>27609936

From I understand he's been trying to make amends. Or so he says.

How long has he been banned? It can't have been more than a couple of weeks. He was there the last time i was in the club. Seemed mostly quiet. Talking about Quake 2 or something.

>>27609964
Less than a month. He was banned for being incapable of understanding that you can't upload quests without permission. Alchemy and Doxel thought that he could be reasoned with or at least talked into doing less damage. Everyone else just wanted him to go fuck himself.

The majority won.

>>27609981
But he was there several times after that little exchange. Seemed calm to me. I don't know, it seems a bit harsh to perma ban him for just that.

Besides hasn't been asking others permission now? I know he's asked Bath.

>>27609996
>But he was there several times after that little exchange.
Yeah, because his latest ban expired. He isn't banned any more, he just doesn't come by that often because a lot of people don't like him. Particularly Wolvan.

>>27610038

>>27610095

Yeah, I think he came in there mad after Nips shared the PM exchange.

>>27610095

I'd rather not talk about it but since it's being discussed anyway...

It was more of a matter of miscommunication. He told me not to upload repeats and so I didn't. Then he told me not to the combat one's. So I didn't. I stuck to unique images/edits/and fanart.

What I didn't understand was he didn't want FQ stuff uploaded. So I agreed. But uploaded one last piece anyway as it was almost all done being tagged.

Boy, that was stupid and even more dumb was my excuse at the time.

>>27610108

Yes, he did that. And at the time it made me furious that what should have been a small private discussion was made public by screencaping and sharing it.


Anyway I know you all don't like me or want to hear from me so I'll be going.

And yes I do ask permission these days.

Okay, so for the three, maybe four, people that still paid attention to JAD, I suppose I owe an apology/explanation for the delays.

Well, its not much of an explanation, I've just been busy. Whole reason I'm retiring from the qm'ing trade is because I don't have enough time right now to do it so, surprise surprise, it's tricky finding enough time to run the last few sessions of JAD.

On the bright side, it's pretty much just epilogue time at this point - wrapping things up as best I can at this point. I'll see what I can do this weekend.

>>27608988

>>27609911
The psker story:
After Nips asked him to stop uploading foal quest,Psker realized that there might be people who aren't okay with him uploading stuff to cancer central.
In best /CYOA/ manner he blamed secret club and came there to try to convince them of his way.
Since in his view this was irrational and must stem from a personal dislike against him.

So he went to the secret club with the intent to work with the guys there.
Some people called him a shithead, others tried to reason with him.

He refused to explain any of the points people asked him about.
Some of which where:
Why did he kept uploading pictures of Foal Quest after Nips asked him to stop.
He should not only ask the QMs but also the players before uploading.
He seemed to be more concerned about HIS work in this uploading business, than the credit of the QM or the benefit of the Quest.
Cluttering up the CYOA tag on derpy with stories that can be found on Anonpone, which unlike Derpy is actually an archive.
Claiming to promote quest despite the only active quest he uploads is CQ.
Still not reading Hijack.

>>27610165
Let me tell you something your little mod fuck buddy on derpy told me back when I tried to explain our situation to the braindead cancer there.
LMAO this is the internet, there is no privacy. Now fuck off.

>>27610165
>And yes I do ask permission these days.
Then I have no problem with you. But good luck getting anyone else to trust you after
>he didn't want FQ stuff uploaded. So I agreed. But uploaded one last piece anyway

>>27610199
Awww it's okay man, we understand
Why not just put it on indefinite hiatus instead of ending then? Maybe you'll find time eventually?

>>27610165
you're alright

>>27610199
As sad as I am to see JAD end, I'm far more glad that it's going to get a proper send off.

I can wait for that.

>>27610244

Functionally, it'll be the same thing. It's not like saying retirement somehow disbars me from ever returning, but something drastic would need to change in my work or life for there to be time.

Id rather just have you post what you can when you can Innkeep.
JAD is always going to be my first and favorite quest. Its worth bumping a thread for.

>>27610224

>Since in his view this was irrational and must stem from a personal dislike against him.

I didn't starting off, but after the lengths people went on derpi to bother me. I couldn't help but feel that way.

>Why did he kept uploading pictures of Foal Quest after Nips asked him to stop.

Miscommunication. Like I said. He told me not to upload specific things and I complied. He did not get the point across that he didn't want any of FQ uploaded until later.

>He should not only ask the QMs but also the players before uploading.

Can't do that. That would only serve to disrupt the cyoa in the active thread and cause fights. It's easier and simpler to ask the Quest Master themselves since it is their creations.

>He seemed to be more concerned about HIS work in this uploading business, than the credit of the QM or the benefit of the Quest.

Not true. Only started talking about what I have to do to properly tag and upload them when I was being accused of being lazy. To clarify I tag the artist, the cyoa, make notation of who is the creator, and provide a link back to the source.

>Cluttering up the CYOA tag on derpy with stories that can be found on Anonpone, which unlike Derpy is actually an archive.

Derpi is a archive as well and the most well known one in the fandom.

>Claiming to promote quest despite the only active quest he uploads is CQ.

I can only promote the quests that I have time to and am allowed to do so. Given that derpi is a image archive it's a given that cyoa will be image based. As for CQ it's active, I play it, and is one of the few I'm seemingly allowed to upload.

>Still not reading Hijack.

Guilty as charge but that's going to change soon. Collage is over after all.

>>27610361
Anyway. I don't plan on talking about this further.

>>27610199
It's fine famas

>>27610361
>it's their creations
not really. quest heavily rely on player input. for instance let's say a qm decided to take away a character. players on the other hand will say to keep them around because of x reason and ask questions the qm never even thought about and is able to give more depth.

>>27610361

An archive for IMAGES, not STORIES.

There is a text only tag on derpy, and some greentexts from 4chan.

Alright, /cyoa/ I think I'm in trouble

The thing is, I wanna start a new cyoa which will involve an alicorn MC and also a heavy system with stats

The story would be about the 4th child of the royal family of a land which is NOT equestria, but more like a random realm in a fantasy setting.
However, at the king’s death and against all odds, his last will was to split the kingdom in four pieces among all his children, forcing you to become the ruler of a small realm.
The story will be about bringing your country to prosperity and glory, through any mean the players would see fit.
For that, the players will be able to manage: the economy, the military, the magical academy, the spies to perform various missions, as well which events to participate in to make sure their relation with the foreign countries, but also the nobles and people of their country, remains as they should be.

To help them, players will be able to choose a First advisor, a General, and a Spymaster among the former advisors of the former king which all have different specialities and drawbacks.

The story usually go like this.
Taking decisions for the month to come for the different important structures of the kingdom, but also the MC and the advisors.
Once this is settled, we skip to a highlight moment of the month, which will be more like a classic CYOA where you meet new people, talk and do a bunch of things. Usually, a particular event will demand you to react immediately to something happening in front of your eyes and it will have repercussion on you, on you reputation, or something like that.
Once the event is done, the end of the month come and you get the results of what you did this month and other various news from your kingdom but also from all around the world, and then it’s time decide what to do for the next month.

>>27613706
That’s the basics, now, the real fun begins
The main gimmick of the story will be the World Crown
You and all your siblings wear a part of this legendary item which made your father a king form nothing
This wondrous item, when worn, creates an empathic bond between the ruler and his country, allowing the ruler’s personality, but also strength and knowledge, to directly affect his people. Which mean that for example, simply training yourself in the arts of battle will be enough to substantially increase your army’s strength. The abilities you share are grouped into three stats: strength for the army and authorities, intelligence for the wizards and the spies and charisma for the merchants and diplomats.

There’s three points to this item
- First, it allow to “realistically” have features of the kingdom drastically change in a matter of months, making the management a lot less boring and allowing for quicker reactions to country related problems
- Second, it allows me to tone down the paranoia a real ruler in such a situation would experience. Indeed, the crown allows the ruler to immediately see people who aren’t loyal to him thanks to the empathic bond with people, makinf high treachery impossible. For the same reason, wounds which should be fatal will only decrease the strength of the country a little, as the wound is shared and diluted among thousands of people in the land. I don’t want to play on Princess Maker difficulty. That also why the MC would be an alicorn, as the crown make him share the feature of the unicorns, pegasus and earth ponies living in the kingdom
- And third, the crown, by its tremendous powers, will be an important part of the plot and allow for interesting development which go beyond a simple strategy games. All its powers will not be revealed from the start.

So, that’s for the big lines… thoughts?

>>27613706
If I wanted all that shit I'd play a game.

>>27613715
>>27613706
If you need 4K words to explain your CYOA, chances are that /mlp/ won't like it-- we are more for story-oriented cyoas here.
/tg/ may like it, as their culture favours systems more.

>>27613706
>alicorn MC
Hmm. Difficult to do well, but I'll give it a chance.
>heavy system with stats
Dropped irrevocably. I will still read the rest of your pitch, though.
>setting
Actually sounds like fun. Too bad about the system, otherwise I'd play this.
>>27613715
The crown sounds cool, but I would much rather we found out about it through the quest rather then you just info dumping that all here in one go.

Sounds interesting and I wish you the best with it, but I won't be playing it because of the system thing. I'd rather play an anonfilly/nyx dual cyoa run by lurker.

>>27613774
How do you make a cyoa about rulling a country without a system?

>>27613805
With good writing and a ton of notes.

>>27613805
By throwing shit at the ruler and expecting he will figure it out I guess.

>>27613706
>>27613715
You need to strip this down to it's basics

A cyoa about ruling a country might be fun, but the strength of running a game on 4chan is letting anons run wild with your setting and characters. Don't constrain them with too much systems. Use a system in the background to keep things fair and random, sure, but hide it from the players.

>>27613805
He said a heavy system with stats. I dislike playing quests like that. I'm not saying that a heavy system with stats isn't a legitimate way to make simulating a country easier, but it is a way that I don't want to play. Anything you can do with systems you can do narratively (if you are good at narrative) and anything you can do narratively you can do with systems (if you are good with systems).

I'm not bashing systems, they are just something that isn't for me.

>>27613836
>>27613837
>>27613847
I was thinking about putting elements one at a time
The first month, the advisors will take care of almost everything and only let the organization of a social event to teh player. The next month they'll be deal with trades and economy. Next month the spies... ect
I guess I'm still gonna try it tomorrow arter the episode

Feel free to come in with no expectation an leave with a good surprise, I'll try to make the system as light as possible

Good by, my beloverd hexagonal tiles

Vampony >>27613620

>>27613903
What if you keep the systems heavy as you want, but also keep them all on your end? We get to play it narratively, and you get to simulate it however you want?

>>27613903
Nah.

>>27613924
That's what I have been thinking too

>>27613925
Don't act like you've got something better to do, anon
I knwo I don't

>>27613805
Real governments seem to do fine without heavy stat based systems. Unless you know president obama's constitution score and aren't telling us.

>"I'm sorry, you can't move your army further than three hexes."
Yeah, dropped.

>>27613924
I'd be fine with that too. I play a lot of quests that just hide their systems. I just don't want to have to deal with them because this isn't /tg/ and I hate /tg/.

>>27613903
hide them and we'll talk

We should discuss something.

Which pone has the best moral standing, and personal ethics? Is there anypony who's beliefs you think are correct? Or if not correct, do you think they are justified?

>>27613903
I think a civ game was already tried a couple of times. We wouldn't be playing a character in that scenario, just the nation.

>>27614165
Speed

He's teh good guy of the story

Therefore his moral stand is the good one

>>27614173
That's also the point of the crown, as it allows character decisions to affect the whole notion, and also the other way around

>>27614184
Can I revolt?

>>27614165
>Which pone has the best moral standing and personal ethics?
I've mentioned it before, but I really think that it's Dr. Lodestone from Cyborg. He spent the entire quest saving lives, healing the crippled with cybernetics, and undoing the damage of an insane filly-raping cannibal cult leader who chopped ponies up and sewed them back together as monsters. And what did Lodestone say when he met the guy in person?
"Once I have saved everyone you hurt and undone all the damage you caused, I will make sure that you are given the psychological help you so obviously need."
That guy went over and beyond on being the good guy.

Look, we all know Wolvan is a little bit spergy and his obsession with trying to make Choosie 'his' character borderlines on weird sometimes, but ultimately the guy is harmless and just runs some quests I ignore.

Why don't you join us in just ignoring him? If he's as fucked as you say then he'll slip up eventually and then you'll be able to say you were right without us saying that you're just as annoying.

Now that the shitstorm and baiting from yesterday is over, let me ask an honest question as someone who never read longname: was Wolvan really doing as badly as the shitposter said? Is it worth checking out one of his other quests?

>>27617657
Mummified Pharoah of an ancient kingdom who has a tendency to act tyrannical, but really isn't so bad once you get to know him. Aids the MC in their quest so that he may find peace which he has been denied because he is in fact a thief who died impersonating the true Pharoah and brought ruin to a stolen Kingdom.

>>27618207
Longname has been a shambling corpse for months. That quest should have ended months ago.

No, I don't think it's worth checking out.
However, his other quests are okay.

>>27618250
thanks 'non

>>27618248
I like it, there is an ask blog similar to that though only superficially.

>>27618207
His quests are alright. I personally wouldn't hold the shitshow of rails that comprises LN against him to a high degree, that quest should have died when the original QM dropped it.

How about a Jurassic Park themed cyoa?
