How do I get my shares back?

>>27770507
But Choosie, stocks are shares.

It's kind of been awhile, but I said I would, so:
>>27769851

I'll add that Buggertale idea to my list of possible future CYOA plots. I kind of like how it could go, but it still needs a shitload of work. For once.

Welp, there goes Custos. I've been slacking a lot the past few days, I am really damn sorry, please forgive me.

Now the question is, try another thread of Custos or have Circle next?

>>27771350

>>27771519
So?

Can I post something if it's somewhat related to a one shot CYOA did sometime? Would that ruffle a lot of feathers?

>>27771555
So I think they deserve to have their thread next.

>>27771568
Go for it, dude.

>>27771568
No. You can't post anything here unless you are a popular QM or have a meme permit.

>>27771574
Nah.

>>27771596
What about hips, 680p and doxel?

>>27771596
Damn...

>>27771618
They either have permits, or the meme police just haven't caught them yet.
I know Doxel has been on the run for a few months now. Sneaky little shit.

>>27771656
Throw me in jail officer, and violate me sensually with memes. I've been bad.

>>27771467
>so much
It's one autist for the most part.

>>27771656
I still can't seem to get my meme-permit. My application keeps getting denied after I pay the necessary Whispen. It's either "This Whispen isn't rare enough," or, "You failed the "background check," with those guys at the office.

>>27771721
Then stop using the cheap shit Whispens and get a different background until they accept it.

>>27771780
They are hand crafted Whispens thank you. Some of them are still used today! And I don't think I can do anything about the background check failures.
Either way, at this point I've been running without a permit for a year, and I've been fine.

>>27771568
Just post it dude.

>>27771973

Hi. Meme police here. I hear you're roaming around these parts without a meme permit.
Now, I can let you off with a warning, but you're going to have to share at least one of those Whispens.

>>27771995
I haven't made any new Whispens since FiT died, and I don't plan to unless Lurkernon returns with that quest he was learning to draw for.

>>27771995
The meme police
coming into my thread
The meme police
Your favorite CYOA's ded

>>27771973
Maybe you should make better Whispens then.
And all you have to do is use a background with lots of memes. Literally just open up MSpaint or some shit and dump a bunch of whispens onto it and use that as your background. I used one with a single whispen in the centre with the words "Big mare" written under it, and they accepted it just fine.

The one where you retake Constantinople as big Whispen?

>>27772066
That's not how background checks work. Also, I think the reason I keep failing the background check is because I killed a waifu once.

>>27772111
Which waifu?

>>27772105
SIR VULT!

>>27772111
>Doesn't even know how background checks work
No wonder you haven't got your meme permit yet. also

You are the worst type of person. I hope you never get your permit and the police catch you, you sick fuck.

Just finishing it up famalam. No need to fret.


If anyone remembers that little CYOA that happened in the CYOA not-general-thread where we were playing as anon and there was a secretive pony in the well, that's where this comes from.

Then Bath did an image for it and I wanted to also, I just took my sweet ass time in finishing it.

I know I need to work on anatomy studies, but fuck me I don't have the focus for it....

>>27772491
Oh yep. You sure did kill that waifu.

>>27772491

>Bath thinks he doesn't have a meme permit.

QMs get them automatically issued. If you dont have yours, I recommend checking the mail box or contacting the postal system.
Only the worst of the worst QMs get them revoked bath, and you're still a cool guy in my eyes.
So long as Spearmint and Peppermint stay alive.

>>27772562
Killing a waifu only gets you a temporary suspension. You're issued a new one at the start of your next CYOA.

>>27772491
Bath, you have a meme permit because you're a meme. You drink a lot, draw sad looking poners, and like your edge medium-high. You qualify.

So I know it's usually a meme when it gets asked and the controversy spans far beyond just CYOAs, but I figured I would ask since I might do something with it.

Nyx in a CYOA - okay if 'done well™' or instant 'dropped'? Knowing this will let me know how to develop ideas I'm having.

>>27775738
To be all serious, I'm okay with her if the CYOA is done well. Like, very well.

>>27775738
>Nyx done well4
So a new character altogether

>>27775738
You will get less initial attention but it may pick up later if it is decent quality.
First thread shitposters are guaranteed.

>>27775738
I would at least give it a chance.

>>27775744
>>27775776
It's fine but don't put it in the title, don't feature header art of her in the first thread. Actually you will probably get ignored more than shitposted. The problem with nyx is the contant spam from a few legit autists and trolls much more than the character.

Bath, what do you have against happy endings?

>>27782404
No, and I'm not just saying that about the ending.

It just wasn't that fun to play from start to end, and it was only the vague hope of them both surviving that kept me posting.

>>27782404
As much as one can enjoy helping someone try get out of a bad situation, I suppose.

>>27782263
You should change your name to Bathwater Villain. It's more fitting, and everyone calls you 'Bath' anyway.
And no, "i-it's just a social experiment" isn't an excuse. Neither is >muh depression.

Speak for yourself, fag. I'm not disappointed at all.

>>27782404
Somewhat, but I think it went on too long.

>>27782263
Bath, once your sociology experiment is finally over, I expect you to share your hypothesis, methodology, findings, and conclusion.

Bear in mind that if you are testing for more than one variable without isolating constants or having a control, we will revoke your license to science.

>>27782404
Enjoyment is not necessary in sociology.

>>27782263
I killed her didn't I?

This was my post:
"I don't know, I don't think I like that idea squeezy.
Squeezy should go before Buttons can stop her."

>>27782449
I regret nothing either.

>>27782472
No use in pointing fingers. it's done.

>>27782472
You sure did, Asshole.

>>27782472
You probably did.

I wish it had happened differently. A noble sacrifice or something. But one of those poners was going to die.

>>27782485
I was thinking she would sacrafice herself to end it if need be. I was also thinking someone else would reply.

>>27782494
I was also anticipating being in a simulation or something. Guess the experiment drove me crazy and/or I thought the quest was dragging out and needed to end.

>>27782513
>simulation
I was thinking it was more of some dream magic shit.
I think I remember the island being called koholint somewhere, and koholint is the name of a dream island in a Zelda game. If it was a dream it would explain why we could summon weapons and shit from nowhere, as well as some of the other weird shit.

>>27782263
That made me physically ill.

>>27782539
The was the writing all over things too. I'm wondering what the next post is going to reveal.

>>27782563
Yeah. The art went way too far.

I can understand showing a headshot, but that was too much.
Dial back the murder porn a bit.

>>27782568
He's certainly going for an emotional gut punch with that, and he succeeded...

>>27782568
It was the event itself, I'm actually fine with gore. Giving us hope that we could save her only to brutally slaughter her right off the bat and than chiming in with "congratulations, you won!"

>>27782563
Yea, there was definitely a tone issue with the sudden level of gore. Almost kind of a malicious "fuck you" to the players, like killing her wasn't enough.

>>27782393
>>27782405
>>27782414
>>27782435
I'm sorry about this Quest being depressing as fuck but it was designed to be this way. I gave a warning that it would be edgy at the beginning, that never changed, even if I did have a method for a happy ending put in there.
>>27782452
Yes, I do. I wanted to type up a paper but that will take some time.
In the meantime, I am willing to answer questions at this point being that this fucking slog is finally over.
>>27782568
Noted, I usually try to go for a sort of partial realism but I do see why that may have been too far in this case.

>>27782615
Do you put a part of yourself in the characters and let your self hatred control the quest or are you just a complete sadist?

>>27782615
As a fellow QM I try to give players 'outs' if they have started down a path that will lead to bad Consequences.

I typically give three chances at an out before I go ahead and have a character suffer due to poor decisions.

It seems like there was no 'out' once Squeeze got shot. There was no way to avoid her death.

>>27782583
For me it was counterproductive, it snapped my suspension of disbelief or whatever. My emotional response was tampered by disgust basically. I was shocked though, and that's pretty rare.

>it's ok when bath does it
lmao, and I thought nipscucks were masochists

>>27782646
You wanna talk about killing suspension of disbelief, he's actually giving Buttons the chance to talk to Bath himself.

>>27782615
>even if I did have a method for a happy ending put in there.
You're gonna tell us what the method was after this done right?

I helped make the characters that you made, and it just makes it that much worse to see one of them die. It's weird that one can get so emotional over fictional beings.

I couldn't keep playing after that though, I just didn't want to see something like that. Even out of morbid curiosity.

>>27782646
Some would argue it adds a harsh dose of realism and sympathy to the event, but eh, even if was less violently depicted i'm still torn about it.

>>27782667
What is she gonna do?
Join to sekrit club?

>>27782615
>this Quest
ALL your quests are edgy and depressing. Slavery. Addiction. Murder. What's the matter with you? Ponies and grimderp don't go together, end of story. Why do you think Inept catches so much shit?

>>27782615
I thought it was really interesting, disturbing, but I found myself asking questions that were more meaningful than I'd ever expect to come out of a horse roleplay on a Chinese cartoon forum. I have no hard feelings, but that's just me. Your meme permit is deffinately suspended until further notice.

>>27782634
I'm not happy about Squeezy dying.
>>27782642
It was a product of circumstances in this case If she would have flown higher up before she would have been shot, she would have died from the fall, There were ways to recover from that situation like summoning cover or th fire at the rocks over the robot idea that one anon had but the ideas that everyone seemed to want I felt I needed to roll for and the results were not good.
>>27782672
There was a sort of creature at the bottom of the mine. The two guard robots were the last obstacle before finding it.
>>27782682
I figured it would be.

>>27782680
Which is more edgy? Bath's quests of that alternate timeline one where Tirek won.

>>27782697
Bath himself.

>Having lost his iron grip on the ever suffering Nadine, Bath realized he needed a new victim to rob of their victory and perpetually torture.

We need paper pony Buttons and Squeezy so I can work through my trauma with them.

>>27782919
I wanted to see if a CYOA where players could control two MC simultaneously was feasible, as well as see how well Anons follow orders given to them by something that is clearly working against their interests. The combat senario was used to make the stakes for both MCs high as well as making both ponies as balanced as possible combat wise so none of them were a clear under-dog. I needed MCs that were easily relatable and that players had no per-formulated bias about so there would be a divide between which one was preferred.

>>27782920
>>27782930
>>27782934
Also thank you, even if it wasn't for me.

>>27783000
Well judging by everyone's reaction I think you've succeeded.

>>27783016
Well yeah. No matter what the players did he'd have succeeded with such an open goal and characters that aren't inherently dicks. That's all it takes.

>>27783016
It's actually surprising to me how much of this was highly successful. Honestly, most of this shit should have broke down long ago, or at least I thought it should have.

>>27783000
>I wanted to see if a CYOA where players could control two MC simultaneously was feasible, as well as see how well Anons follow orders given to them by something that is clearly working against their interests.
>two variables being tested at the same time

>>27783031
It's bad science, but I also never hoped to get this published so... Yeah, I was also testing a lot of other crap in here as well.
It's not really science at this point.

>>27783029

One thing I do like in your cyoa's is the harsh edge that they have where the danger is very real. It keeps me on edge of my seat at times.

Like your motto in Entrapment "In this quest there are no extra lives, death is final."

>>27783059
So what are your conclusions? Because to me it looks like:
>Is a dual CYOA feasible? Yes.
>Milgram Experiment? Also yes, but only to a point.

>>27783059
>It's bad science, but I also never hoped to get this published so.

So you aren't going to share the results with us?

damn

>>27783087
I don't get it. Dual cyoa was always feasible. The general opinion has always been 'why?'. Nothing new there, it's still 'why?'. Miligram experiment yeah. Players are going to operate within the limitations that have been explained until they find out they don't have to because the normal reaction is to punish them if they don't ala Inept. Nothing new there either.

>>27783091
I said I didn'thope to get it published, not I'm not going to distribute my results for free so other QM's can use the information in the future.
I do plan one typing a whole thing up.

>>27783115
