Why the heck is expirimental on page 11?
>>
>>27792777
Wondering how badly having the Imperial army destroyed is going to fuck us over later, if we can somehow get our leg back and repair ourselves, and if Ginger escaped. Ginger is alright.

Your lack of or inability to describe surroundings and where things are in relation to us often makes it hard in fights. The beads were very useful and much needed but I really want to learn more useful spells. Also the "bird" descriptions. I was super confused until you made it obvious you ripped of Bioshock.
>>
>>27793173
Because there is a sticky on page one.
Which means there are 151 threads on the board, this needing the 11th page to host all of them.
>>
>>27793242
I didn't really rip it off per say, I just though the music was fitting. They do look alike, but not exactly the same. You'll learn more about them as the story goes along.

As for the desciptions, I attempt to describe what I deem is important without wasting too much words on the "useless" descriptions. I guess it's all in my head and I can't properly judge the lack of information you guys have compared to me; I'll try work on it on the future.

God damn those cowards. If Buttons went back and destroyed the robots we might've been able to get the ability to revive Fresh. We were just a stone's throw away from the final boss and now we're back to square one. Any attempt to prevent the invasion Bath has planned will most likely fail considering how he likes to kill off characters.

Dude, just answer me one thing.

Why are you still going? At least once a week for a full year, you've been going full barneyfag, and nothing has changed. Why does people liking batponies trigger you so much that you have to go out of your way to spam it in every thread remotely related to them?
>>
>>27795369
Cause autism speaks, loudly.
>>
>>27795191
Buttons isn't going to kill herself.

She made a promise to herself not to waste Freshy's sacrifice.
>>
>>27795369
>Why are you still going? At least once a week for a full year, you've been going full barneyfag
>At least once a week, you've been going full autism
Because, as >>27795387 said, autism speaks loudly.
>>
>>27795418
The only thing she has in her life is an otherworldly gun, the trauma of what happened on the island, and the knowledge that an unstoppable alien invasion invasion can happen at any second. If she doesn't become suicidal, she'd become extremely self destructive, or she'd become like Sarah Connor from Terminator 2. The later would cause her to do exactly what she should've done rather than tuck her tail between her legs and run back home, except with much worse odds.
>>
>>27795462
The whole story, Buttons had an unbreakable will to live. Just look at the beginning. She attacked Fresh without even thinking about it, because no matter what, she wanted to go home more than anything.

She's not going to be suicidal.
>>
>>27795485
Then it'll most likely be option 2. She's going to drink until she can't feel anything anymore and wait for the inevitable invasion or end up in the loony bin.

Expirimental 2: ButtonsQuest
The Mare with the Plasma Gun

Get Bath and Wolvan to make a video game out of it
>>
>>27795148
Yeah, I was up to nearly two last night trying to get others on board to go after the alien leader. But after a long time of nothing from Bath I thought he was asleep and so I went to bed myself.

If I knew he was still running I would've stayed up and had her end the invasion. As it is the ending is really disappointing. It's like if portal had ended just after avoiding the cake trap.

>>27795644
Yes, but did we tell him to go ahead in do so?
>>
>>27795644
I hope at the very least, Bath gives her a chance to join, whoever it is that's supposed to be better equiped. I would think Buttons would want a chance at revenge.
>>
>>27795657
Several players did.
>>
>>27795674

But did Bath's response reflect that?
>>
>>27795644
Your ignoring the fact that whoever goes against them now, would face tougher resistance. Before they were just researching and preparing, now we'll be laying siege to a military stronghold and face worsening resistance right off the bat. They also wanted one of them to survive, but that's not the case any more.

>>27795787
No, in fact Shade is a prime example of a bat who has lost his way. The problem with bates is that the Mares and Stallion do not use their assets to their full potential.

The Mares are smelly, have stupid and ugly faces, are really fat, and their voices are harsh and shrill. Yet they try to become so called 'semen demons' by lathering their faces in make up, doing tons of leg exercises so their fat sagging flanks will look appealing, go on diets so they won't become too fat, and practice hours upon hours on how to suck dick with their razor sharp and oversized fangs.

Then the Stallions are lithe, small, feminine, dainty, and really pretty with the voice of an angel. However they try and compete with other Stallions by doing 'Badass' things like joining the military or killing drug lords, even though it's pushing their small frame to the absolute limit. They try to hide their pain, weakness, and self-loathing (caused by them knowing they cannot even compete with wimpy Unicorn Stallions) by putting up a facade of 'edginess'.

In reality, the Mares should be out working on farms, fields, military, and other places where their ugliness doesn't matter, meanwhile the Stallions become diplomats, waitresses, salesponies, and other jobs where they can use their charm properly while avoiding having to do any demanding physical labor. Or become housewives for superior Pony races and use their soft side along with their appealing physique to help comfort and elevate them to greatness.

Only then when this great injustice is corrected will Batponies be a respectable race. Pic related is a bat stallion who has learned his true place in society.

If she went back to stop the aliens, the Alien Controller would have let her bury Squeezy as a sign of good faith and give her one last chance to stop. After that the same combat senario would continue. Which I might add was an encounter designed for two MCs. That were independently controlled.
>>27793171
>>27793173
There are so many little weird things that happened near the end of this quest. I'm not even surprised at this point.
>>27793547

>>27795319
Honestly I'm in the "I'm glad that it's over camp. I was trying to make that ending in such a way that respected Squeezy's death but I'm not sure if I really succeeded.
>>27795839
I think Nadine is perma-benched at this point. After going through hell I don't think she ever wants to be in combat again. Even if her cuti-mark is a knife.

I was going to say that might be a good idea. Then I remembered that Bath's not good at cartoony slapstick... or anything that's not suffering.

She looks like a depressed mare who's trying to act happy on the outside. I suppose that's good enough though.

She's still sad on the inside. Just look at those haunted eyes.
>>
>>27798251
Looks happy for the most part but there is a bit of tiredness in the eyes. Like she's happy but has had a long day.

I think it's the way Bath draws eyes that makes everyone seem sad or depressed.

I wonder what would happen if all the QM's took over each others Quests.

Like if Nips did Tinepone and Inept did NE
Or if Bath did Colt Quest and FicFic War In The North. Or if Hijack did DitA. Weird combos like that.

Any ideas what would to those cyoas and characters?

I actually think switching threads with someone for a short time would be an interesting experiment!
Course they'd have to be non-canon threads or something so we don't mess up each other's storylines or anything.
That and we'd have to be up to date on each other's quests.
Still! Especially if it's taking over something in a different genre, it'd be... Interesting. Might fail horribly, might turn out neat. But I totally wouldn't want this to turn into one of those "oh look X runs your quest better than you, loser! Ha ha!"

But the swap thing does seem neat. I dunno who would want to run AtO or LyraQuest tho. Heck, I have no clue what quest i'd wanna commandeer anyway. You know, once I get internet at my new place and all...
I think these kinda questions are fun to think about.

Is skipping final bosses a thing that happens often now? I only remember it being mentioned for NE.
How would you make your players run into / accept a boss fight?
How does Inept do it, for example? When we controlled Daring Do the motivation was exploring / lifting the curse on the village, and when we controlled Muffin it was to save Daring. What should be our motivations to go against the big bad?
How do you make your players confident enough that they can get in a fight, and come out alive?

1) When the QM posts, respond with a suggestion.
2) If someone else has an opposing suggestion, explain why you disagree instead of calling them a retard or a fgt.
3) Try to post more than just one word responses if possible.

Naw I just take a handful of pills every day.

But seriously as a player I am just going along for the QMs ride. I do get a little annoyed when I think the QM or other players make decisions that will eventually unravel the CYOA, but I don't care when it makes an interesting story. I think too many people treat CYOAs like video games to be won and not the collaborative fiction that they are.

It's the number 2 isn't it? Might not of been that anons point, but arguing with players is the number one way to be a faggot. Just don't say anything, and make your own post. Pointing out why you think something might not work is ok, but arguing about it isn't becauae that's retarded. Reminder, it's all made up.

I think the mlp tower thing was kind of fun, I read a thread once. It's essentially a simplified tabletop RPG or something, without much actual RP and more game.
I wasn't really interested enough to look into it. The fact that you need a trip to participate makes it harder to join mid session. That's not cool.
I don't know if the Equestrian Dungeon is as accessible.
Still better than OIE :^)

I don't believe you need a trip to join. Back when I was looking at it (when it was Tower) there were several Anons controlling anonymous ponies 1-5 or whatever. You can also spawn new characters mid-session I do believe. I don't know if it still it like that, but previously it was set up to work better with the 4chan format than standard rping.

If you want people to do something dangerous then you have to give them a reason to stay. If we had reason to believe there was a cancer cure here, then sure characters and players would stay to help Rem or whatever; but there is literally no reason to do anything in that area and nothing to suggest that could change.

The problem isn't players wanting to leave, its nips failing to give us a reason to stay.

Pretty much, the EPU mare has anyways. If he wants to end it thats fine but it seems premature. I'm also expecting something to happen and thinking players are getting ahead of themselves. Maybe I shouldn't be.

Agreed. Unique was never one of the more popular quests. It had a fairly small playerbase that vocally enjoyed it.
>>
>>27805923
They're intact, but they're pretty yellow. Also the time reset stuff probably means everyone's bodies reset.

>>27805942
This. It was a pretty small quest, and even then the players weren't as vocal about their enjoyment compared to something like Longmeme.
>>
>>27805978
Longname had Doxel, so it's not really fair.
>>
>>27805978
I remember unique as one of those quests I shouldn't mention, like longname.
>>
>>27805942
It had a higher response per post than most quests, but that's more a factor of the speed at which Sloth posted. Quick posts retain engagement. It certainly wasn't a Nips quest.

>>27805927
Most of the general conversations were between me and another guy and I didn't recognize Sloth's posting style.
>>
>>27806018
The other guy may have been me.

I was pretty enthusiastic about it before Sloth disappeared the first time.

>>27807672
The benefit of leaving is that all the happy poners get to live their happy lives.

The benefit of staying is...?

The characters Nips sets up just aren't suited to go suicidal in search of knowledge. They usually have no idea what they're getting into and are in over their heads. If this was the end of a decades long search for Rem or some other similar thing then the players would almost certainly be staying, even if it's by themselves. But she has little to no investment in anything so backing out is the smart decision for the character. Players will usually play to how the character has been presented, one way or another.

Because it's not a cartoon where the main characters always come out alive.

You have to weigh consequences against benefits in CYOA, and if players decide that the benefits don't match up, they don't take the risk.

Especially in a Bath CYOA where he brings the hammer down fast and hard for even small mistakes. Sometimes no mistakes, since he rolls for actions. I know going back in sounds like a very heroic and action hero-ey thing to do, but I had a very big feeling it would just end in our deaths.
Bath even said that the final battle in Expirimental was made for twice the firepower that Buttons had, and Bath even said he'd send a better-equipped pony in.
Plus I think a lot of people, Bath included, were pretty tired of the CYOA and just wanted it to be over.

So we had to weigh against
>Go in alone, high chance of dying and failure.
>Go home, live, leave it to someone with a better chance of dealing with it than us.
>>
>>27808873
>Especially in a Bath CYOA where he brings the hammer down fast and hard for even small mistakes. Sometimes no mistakes, since he rolls for actions.
This more than anything affects how many risks I take in a quest. I trust most QMs to be fair and make the consequences of an action fit the action itself. I absolutely do not trust dice to do that. If I know there are a lot of dice in the QM's system then I play much more conservatively.

I've got'chu. Have some stuff in the works that juuuust might be able to scratch that itch. Sadly for you, it'll have to wait till DitA is done.
I can barely run that quest on its own, let alone run two at once.

SO. question, any other QMs have Quests in the works or on the back burner for when their quests are done?
>>
>>27809893

My answer was a yes.
>>
>>27809821

jesus christ buy some tampons you pussy
>>
>>27809893
Please let me finish my current quests first before even asking that. Answer is yes though
>>
>>27809893
Yes. Three ideas in fact.
>>
>>27809893
I have a couple cutequestria ideas floating around myself, for after I'm finished with my current quest.

One's a SoL where you and your partner are cops in cutequestria Manehattan. The life of a cop is never easy; consoling ponies who have had their favorite blankies stolen, dealing with dangerous criminals armed with marshmallow guns, feather dusters, and pillows, and bringing down monsters who boop without permission.
Can you bring them in? Or will you meet the same muzzle-scrunching fate as their victims?

The other's a cutequestria war with the griffons. After Princess Cadance gets captured by the king of the griffons and put in prison with only one dessert per day, Equestria and the Crystal Empire go to war to get the princess back.
You and your tank cardboard box crew are tasked with attacking and infiltrating the griffon lands. Are you pony enough to make it through hordes of water-balloon flingers, cuddle-berserkers, and the frightening squirt gun snipers, even when you're running low on pudding cups?
>>
>>27809893
>it'll have to wait till DitA is done
So never?

But to answer your question yes I do have another idea I've had for a while.
>>
Your lazy ass QM is back!
>>27809950
>>
>>27809970

At the crippled pace I write and draw right now? Yeah, probably never.

I dunno, if I ever get faster, I think I'm gonna run the one I've been fiddling with while DitA is going.
Who knows.

Can't wait tho, cause I don't think any of you are prepared for this quest

>inb4 no one plays that one either

Though, I don't think it'll be able to fit in cutequesria
>>
>>27809893
What would even be the endgame of DitA?

>>27809968
Those both sound great. Too bad it'll never happen because no one will ever make a cutequestria CYOA that lasts.
>>
>>27809874
Entrapment gave very little reason to get invested in the characters.
>>
>>27808873
Your meta logic is sound, but incomplete. If it were just the on quest than going home was the best choice, but with the promise of a sequel we'll have to deal with a harder fight than we had then from the get-go and it'd only get worse as the quest progressed. We were literally at the finish line, we'd regained the element of surprise, and the final boss was incomplete. In the second quest it isn't going to have weak shielding or incomplete armor and it isn't going to be behind a token force of lightweight security. Also Bath isn't going to change between quests, so we'll have to deal with his unforgiving dice rolls no matter what. Also, it was a very remote possibility, but there was a chance we could've convinced Bath to let Fresh be resurrected after the robots were destroyed so we could've made that good end a reality.

>>27807802
But we literally accomplished nothing in the quest besides the birth of Mera, giving Rem cancer, finding Pyrite, and realizing that bad stuff happened. We haven't even gotten Rem laid yet. Thanks to Mera we are uniquely immune to psychic attacks so sending the others home so they aren't in harms way is a good idea, they'd still be able to remotely help us as long as communications stay up. For all we know the rest of the first team might still be alive, we didn't find any bodies after all. For all we know the group that hates ponies might have some sort of malicious intent and they're trying to drive us away so we can't interfere. For all we know, the sphere might have some way of curing our cancer. By leaving were saying we'll take the consequences of whatever unknown machinations are happening. Even though the odds are against us and we're woefully under-equipped to deal with something serious, Renne and Saffron were in the same situation and not only did they survive and recover from their experiences, but they also saved the day.
>>
>>27810012

I actually have a few parameters for DitA's ending, it just depends on what the players do. We're somewhere around the middle of the beginning, and there are probably gonna be some montages coming by the end of the in quest week and a half. Stuff's happening, but not enough to get us to endgame.

Oh yeah, on top of that, there are failure states too, though I'm glad you guys haven't triggered those.

Right now we're kind of floundering around with relationships, /ss/ and other stuff, but that was mostly my fault. Things'll start to pick up soon enough and I hope everyone who's playing gets what they want out of this quest. I'm sure as fuck having lots of fun writing this, and it also serves as a huge learning experience for future quests.
>>
>>27809893
A couple dozen, yeah.
>>
>>27810041
Renne and Saffron had to stop it and discover the mystery to survive and get out. Self-preservation with no other option. There's nothing stopping Rem from leaving, the only reason to stay is curiosity. Curiosity vs self-preservation. Renne was in a fundamentally different situation.
>>
>>27810171
Rem's got space cancer and has seen what it can do to someone.
>>
>>27810171
Good endings aren't supposed to come easy. Without taking risks and putting forth effort all we can get is an okay ending at best. As for curiosity vs. self-preservation, why not decide to go home right off the bat? It'd prevent anything bad from happening. Rem wouldn't have gotten cancer if she decided to quit before even reaching the facility. Would that have been a good ending? Also to be honest, I don't think the option to go home should've even been given, I'm still hoping some kind of accident happens and the rescue team never arrives.
>>
>>27810218
>As for curiosity vs. self-preservation, why not decide to go home right off the bat?
Because it was curiosity/getting paid vs nothing. There was no reason not to go to the facility and start exploring things.

>I don't think the option to go home should've even been given
You found the problem. The presentation of the quest as it is currently stands is unable to create the situation you want. All it would take to create that situation is cut off contact from the outside. THEN it's self-preservation and needing to know things. That might still happen of course.

For the next three or four situations/actions you want to pose as possibilities in this conversation, weigh the positives and negatives as the character understands them at the time and you'll save us both some writing.
>>
>>27810218
Well to be fair, there wasn't the explicit threat of alien bullshit at the start of the quest, nor was leaving at the very beginning a real valid player choice.

You're right in that the option to leave honestly should not have been given, but I think it's wrong to complain that people shouldn't take it. Sure it leaves the quest in this sort of incomplete state of a neutral ending, but you're letting meta take over in-story justifications.
You cheater.
>>
>>27810218
Think what you would do in real life. Sure, for a bit you'd be interested. Stick out some danger in the name of science. But when the shit goes down, what do most people do? Get out, because lives are simply more valuable.

Think Alien. Did Ripley or the crew want to capture the alien and study it? Hell no, they wanted the fuck out. The only one on the crew with that objective of studying the alien was the android, Ash, and he wanted to sacrifice everyone in order to do it.

But like >>27810275 said, you're letting meta information guide your decisions. "Let's get the good ending!" should never be your reasoning.
>>
Welp! I've been waiting for... an hour for a reply on my Marionette CYOA and got nothing.

I'm gonna guess I failed.
>>
>>27810289
>But like >>27810275# said, you're letting meta information guide your decisions. "Let's get the good ending!" should never be your reasoning.
I think it's fine to let meta information guide your actions. Just be aware that the majority of the players usually want to play to the character so arguing based on meta is pointless.

Unless we know we're an outside entity controlling/influencing actions, then we're playing ourselves and meta is on the table.
>>
>>27810275
>>27810289
My apologies, I was intending to debate the option to go home, not the people making that choice, that's why I originally talked about more than one quest rather than the one where it's actually relevant. I just feel that ending the quest prematurely because there is some adversity is a disservice to CYOAs in general.
>>
>>27810327
Probably. Sorry dude, I know I dropped your quest a couple weeks back because I didn't like the characters and the setting was too edgy for me.

On the bright side, you can do a different idea.
>>
>There's no reason to stay
Space cancer. Highly unlikely to be curable through conventional medicine. Only one likely to be able to stop it is sphere. For real people, leaving now is no guarantee of avoiding a bad ending.
>>
>>27810327

Takes time. I waited an hour and a half for some replies, but also, remember, it's 4th of july. It's a holiday for most people specially here in 'murrica
>>
>>27810327
Didn't see that you were active.
>>
>>27810349
Don't worry. I had another quest idea on the back burner for awhile.

>>27810353
Yeah, that too. I've never been a person known to wait for long.
>>
>>27810352
>Probable death vs possible death
I'll take possible. Honestly, that's probably the strongest reason to stay and it's banking on half a dozen assumptions.
>>
>>27810378
I guess that happens when a thread goes down to the end of the board.

But, don't worry about it. I was beginning to wonder if anybody was gonna come.
>>
>>27810391
As is leaving.
Super cancer, anon. It's not a fucking joke. We've seen what it can do to someone.
>>
>>27810352
It is however a hopeful guarantee that we won't die here and now in a cold hospitable wasteland, alone and forgotten.
>>
>>27810345
Why people choose anything in any given quest depends on the quest in question, so you'll have to debate particulars to get an answer. I didn't play Bath's quest so I don't know that one. But in general the answer to the question "Why didn't they do this thing based on meta information?" is "They wanted to play to the character."

>>27810405
>As is leaving.
Indeed. Which is why that reason for/against effectively negates itself, falling back on other arguments.
>>
>>27810419
Difference being leaving takes things out of our hands.
Can't fix a problem if you can't even touch it.
>>
>>27810453
>Can't fix a problem if you can't even touch it.
Banking on assumptions again.

So the reason to leave is that we're likely going to die if we stay due to direct threats, and the reason to stay is that we might possibly die we don't actually know but it's possible if we leave.
>>
>>27810474
>likely going to die if we stay due to direct threats
Assumption.
>>
>>27810491
No, there's direct evidence of that possibility. Unless you're going to start going into philosophy and argue that everything that we could ever know is an assumption.
>>
>>27810497
And Pyrite is direct evidence of the threat the cancer poses.
>>
>>27810497
We have yet to actually see a corpse. How do you know we'll be killed if we stay?
>>
>>27810503
Mhm. The assumptions in that are the full medical facilities can't treat it, that it's not encouraged via proximity to the sphere, and various other things. Which there's no evidence for or against.

As I said in this original tangent: Probably going to die vs possibly going to die. You're standing on the side with the weaker assumptions.

>>27810530
see
>>27810497
Evidence. You can try to argue down to what we strictly know or not all you like. Then we simply don't know anything, we're a brain in a vat.
>>
That's not how it works anon. You can't dismiss Pyrite's condition with further assumptions. The sphere has yet to do anything to anyone who isn't in direct contact with it. The is no evidence to support it effecting us through proximity. And this is a alien effect that has already been shown to do things beyond our understanding, in a world where cancer is still a very bad thing to hear.
You're assumptions are not better than mine, despite your insistence. I wish to confront a problem while the chance remains. You wish to give up and hope for the best.
>>
>>27810544
Rapidly mutating into a new life form is a bit beyond any medical technology that could possibly exist.
>>
>>27810615
The cancer is Rem's mutations you dipstick. If we leave now we just turn into what Mera is. I think Mera is pretty cute, I don't think Rem would look too bad with wing-flaps and an extra eye for emitting death-rays.

Ree. Repair the chemical signaling pathways to their original state and reengage cellular apoptosis. Space cancer still happens in the body's own cells, just like regular cancer, doesn't it?

Once I start again, that is.

I'll try to get my sleep schedule back in place so I can run quests soon
I apologize for my absence.

Earlier than usual edition.

Whew, thank God. I was starting to get worried you just up and left for good.
>>
>>27811648
Nah. Leaving isn't what I came here for.

If Nadine plays Bath's quests but what other quests does CYOA think she plays.

Bonus question: what other CYOA pones from quests past or present do you think play quests and which ones do you think they play?
>>
Is it just me or do other QMs also suffer from having a hard time trying to keep their quest engaging?
>>
>>27811873
Bath said she probably played War in the North. I think she would play Bardquest too.
>>
>>27811837
no
>>
big pon
>>
>>27811837
Yeah, Pleens. I thought you said you were going to run last Saturday.
>>
I want to marry Angel!
>>
>>27812258
Back off scrub she's mine.
>>
>>27812258
hope you enjoy not seeing her half the time because of jail
>>
Maybe I'll make some more desktop ponies if I get bored tomorrow
>>
>>27812375
no you won't
>>
two more till we can be free.
>>
>>27812407
that is why I said MAYBE. That post was also supposed to be a question on who you think should get a desktop pony. Also say why you think so
>>
>>27812447
No
Even if you do get bored tomorrow you won't do them. "Maybe" assumes you would actually do either.
>>
>>27812447
Do that one unicorn

Make a Seadance poner.
>>
H-hi
>>
>>27812842
Hey there cutie.
>>
>>27812479
Alright, I promise I'll work on at least 1 desktop pony tomorrow. Are you happy now?
>>
>>27812895
Oh, you should make a Silver Smith and a Seadance.
>>
>>27812818
You didn't give a good reason why she should get a sprite. See >>27812447's spoiler
>>
>>27812818
>>27812904
See >>27812447's spoiler. I want a good reason why a quest should get a sprite. Also why the fuck should I make desktop ponies of my own quests, I mean where is the point here
>>
>>27812912
Why isn't "I would like to have a desktop pony of X" a good enough reason?

What other reason does there need to be? Do you want a full 5 page essay on why I want art?

>needing a reason
Wolv for god's sake do I have to make it again?
>>
Why do you quest, /cyoa/?
>>
>>27812928
Don't need a 5 page essay. Simply saying I like a desktop pony of X because it deserves more fanart or because you think the QM should get some appreciation are good enough reasons

>>27812998
But anon: If I make something for my quest, that would mean it would turn into half an artquest and then I would need to art and then I'd ded more than Shiro
>>
>>27813068
I want a desktop pone of Silver Smith because I like her and a little lunar guard filly walking across my screen would be really cute.

It's not for you, it's for me.

That better?
>>
>>27813080
This is an acceptable reason which I am entirely OK with. Yes.

The reason was more a help for me to decide on which ones to work on tomorrow. Stronger reason = higher probability of being made
Admittedly though, the thing might be a shitty idea of my tired 4AM brain, who knows
