And now imagine how your CYOA waifu slowly inserts her throbbing, hot futa cock into your wide open mouth, eager to lick the dripping pre-cum off her fat and girthy horse cock, smelling her musk and pleasuring her orally, until she shoots her thick sticky semen right into you while you deepthroat her, clinging tightly to you, running her hooves through your hair as she climaxes and pumps her hot liquid love into your mouth.

>Lud: Oh! That's actually a fascinating subject related to both psionics and medicine! You see, cutie marks of all kinds -Let's categorize them as reflexive and instinctive for the sake of simplicity- are largely dependant of the pony's awareness of them, besides several factors that decide what they are. But they appearing in the first place requires the society the pony is from to give them enough importance for the social pressure to be noticeable, unlike the place where I grew-- in fact they were something of an oddity, which may surprise the Equestrians over here.

I seem to have accumulated around a thousand CYOA related images over the last year and I'm probably changing devices soon. Should I put them somewhere after I pack them up?

I should check the fan art section of anonpone and see what's there and what's not, but a lot of them are compilations, or only thread related, like my waifu over there.

Hey folks

So the autistic little tease last night isn't a troll.
I'm gonna be starting up Escape Velocity again (for real this time) with a streamlined opening to get a bit faster into the action.

Been sitting on and refining this story concept for, what, two years?
Figured that now with me working a semi-regular schedule and not doing much with my free time that it'd be fun to finally explore the stars.

Anyone game or was my betrayal too unforgivable?

>>28569352
Because he has a child.
I ain't touching that shit and get called daddy or some gay shit.
>>
>>28569483
More like I don't believe you're gonna run more than one thread because you've abandoned it twice without a word. Which is, by the way, the scummiest thing a QM can do
>>
>>28569483
You really should give up.
>>
>>28569483
There is literally no reason to believe you're him or that Escape Velocity is coming back again.
>>
>>28569500
Fair.

Not much i can do to disprove that other than just doing it.
>>
>>28569483
I dislike being teased. What exactly makes this different from the last two times you barely ran and then disappeared?
>>
>>28569483
I don't know or care who you are, but if it's an art quest I'll probably play it.

I don't have time for another text quest right now. If it is a text quest, ends up completed and on anonpone, then I'll probably read it eventually.

>>28569554
Life's no predictable son, you could get fired tomorrow, you could get dumped, you could need surgery then get addicted to painkillers, someone you love could get a brain tumor.. Or you know, something positive but distracting could happen too.

What about then, are you commited enough to run through the distractions, or at the very least tell your player's you cant run, letting them know if and when you'll be back.

The problem there, is that Miracle is incredibly dense, and it's natural to loose players, but a lot harder to pick them up with a CYOA like that. I still plan on reading it when I have the time (assuming it finishes).
>>
>>28569831
I wasn't referring to Miracle, it was just my opinion about the player count in any quest, but it's fine.
>>

I was just thinking about it yesterday.
As long as you don't drop it again, I will play it. I just really enjoy horses in space.

I think the previous CYOA record was Heat with about 450 posts without an image.
That's kind of neat.

Another random idea that struck me right about now. Strategic-esque quest about running a country, but I haven't come up with specifics yet. I just wonder if it is an idea worth exploring at all.
>>
>>28570274
I believe it did, because I rember checking it, and being all like, god damn, where are the cute pony pictures at, it's just a bunch of fucking words.
>>
>>28570296
I for one, wouldn't be interested in that at all.

Also I think you'd have to have your strategic system really well planned and be dedicated to making it work and fun to play, and at that point you might as well make it into a tabletop game and market it.
>>
>>28570296
It could be interesting, but something with that scale ( i imagine a civ style gameplay) i imagine would get kinda dry and boring to run with this medium. It has to run with some sort of "action", something with tangible affects. Like maybe you're a or diplomat and the system revolves around a sort of la noir interrogation or discussion, trying to win people and other diplomats over. Maybe while that's not happening it could be like, you're investigating certain things that'd help diplomatic talks go in your favor, like information you didn't have before or something.
I dunno i'm just brainstorming.
What did you have in mind (i probably should've asked that first)?
>>
>>28570320
>>28570296

Though you could always take someone else's proven system and add ponies. In all seriousness I'd do that, because a working strategy system is a bitch to come up with and needs to be tested over and over again.
>>
>>28570332
I was thinking about letting players take direct control of sent spies/diplomats/merchants with secret goal/priests/ literally whatever from time to time to make things more about talking and less about numbers. Actually, numbers and system heavy gameplay is a thing I don't really like and I was thinking more about dialogues and problems with some numbers on side instead of real strategy game.

Of course I'd try and draw maps. Lot's of maps. I kinda like this shit.
>>
>>28570257
It won't really make a difference in my load, I don't upload the majority of fanart. If I were autistic enough to do that I probably wouldn't allow user uploads. The most maintenance I do on it is checking for unrelated art sometimes and finding good example art of characters to pin for artists.

God no. The archive is designed to overall take less effort than hunting through the FoolFukka archives for quests I want to read. It's using skills to be lazy.

It also means that there's no supreme autist watching for stuff, so if you think something should be in a fanart section you should add it.

I figured that I'd post my criticism of An Historical Perspective here.

Perhaps it's a tad early to judge on this but I think it's very important. The whole being sent back in time into the body of Starswirl's bro and not having any memory of either who we were or are now is extremely frustrating. Not just because we don't have answers and it seems any questions we ask are never answered but because it hinders the the entire CYOA. The setup around Starswirl and Scribe is good enough to be without the mysterious plot. What he has done by making the MC a pony from the future in the body of somepony in the past who remembers nothing and thrust into the world has basically crippled any attempt at player characterization. I would have made many suggestions for Ghost Scribe, but we are not Ghost Scribe. We are merely a hijacker who has no idea what he is doing. Ghost Scribe has little enough character to give players room to build upon. Now it feels like a blank slate in a bad sort of way and I find it hard to get attached to the MC.

After that I say the QM should do more to use player input better. More than once greatly changing the original suggestion or entirely ignoring some. I understand changing things so they work better to a degree, but I think he takes it to far sometimes.

In the end it's definitely been enjoyable but the whole future Deb Seascrolls stuff hampens the fun and the entire CYOA is worse off for it.

>>28581336
So you're a bank slate MC in an empty shell with no idea how either should be acting? I can imagine that doubling down on the blank slateness could make characterization and player attachment harder.

Thanks again from me too paperanon, I get a stupid amount of happiness every time I get to mess around with your poners.

I think I got them all, but did I miss any? I'll double check the folder before I replace the Guri? I kind of want to redo the whole thing anyways.
>>
>>28581769
You used the wrong Guri.
>>
>>28581336
Criticism duly noted.

I can see how that decision would hurt my story, when you put it like that.

I see how I failed to grasp the prime purpose of a CYOA, and that's to immerse the player.

Deb was originally supposed to be an additional blank slate, intertwined with Ghost, as, since he doesn't remember himself, they would essentially be the same pony.

If it detracts from the enjoyability of the story, then I could always, write it off as a fever dream and pretend it never happened

In regards to the rest, if I seem like I'm ignoring requests, I promise I don't mean to. I'm still trying to get the hang of QMing and I'll try to interpret requests more literally.

I hope you'll keep following the quest and allow me room to correct for the mistakes I made.

thanks for being honest

Player from Historical Perspective here.

Wow, for once one of you's fucking with a storyline they're actually playing! That's out of character and I'm surprised.

Regardless. The QM knows the story he's trying to tell. You do not. Talking him into adding a chimpanzee and 2 quirky gay neighbors to "improve" his story will just FUCK IT UP.

So, please,
1) If you're gonna yell at the QM, do it where the ACTUAL PLAYERS can see your vile machinations (IN THE THREAD) and
2) Just feel free to relax and enjoy the story he's skillfully weaving, without making him second guess everything because YOU said so.
>>

Fuck off Anon, critique is valid in any case. It's not some bullshit 'vile mechanism.'

Yes, usually I paste here when, about halfway through an adventure, the QM suddenly says, "Since somebody on CYOA General didn't like the first half of the story, we're retconning the whole thing as a dream and the main player was actually Harambe the gorilla the entire time."

That's when I feel the need to come to this hive of villainy and vent at you, because, "You've done it again!".

Can't a person just play the actual CYOA without keeping this damn general open in a tab monitoring for interference from your Story De-Imagineers? Sheesh.

I liked a CYOA with minotaurs but that went right straight to hell so I've given that up.

Next it'll be Plones, I swear.

Has it occured to you that people might actually like just taking care of changebro and bat-daughteru more than trying to enter the Canterlot alchemist guild?
>>
>>28582764
Admittedly, I was kind of annoyed by all the sudden Basil waifuing going on in Curse Quest. No complaints with how the QM handled it though.
>>
>>28582802
And, so as not to fuck up the loyal players of Alchemy, if AlchemyAnon is watching: Do NOT change your CYOA just because it poisoned me out. Your players live it, the horrid changeling, and you, just as you are. I don't want to be guilty of the horrors I've accused others of and fuck up their beloved CYOA for them.

>>28582809
That's why I'm writing this addendum.
>>
>>28582800
>>28582780
Honestly it sounds like he's arguing against letting players adopt foals. Alchemy, Space Vex, FiT, and JAD are all quests with kids and the kids became a fairly big focus when they were introduced. From bats to changelings to an earth pony. This doesn't seem to have anything to do with non-pony species.
>>
>>28582823
whats really funny is he keeps saying changeling. we adopted a bat.
>>
>>28582823
Yeah and I fucked up and the changeling wasn't the daughteru but the recovering-from-evil "step mother" for the bat-daughter.

You have a point, foals of any sort are gonna be worse than the KIND of foal.

Even so, any time you get the far-out species in the CYOA you trigger autists who must waifu them, and the author must be ready to resist that somehow or let everything devolve into the worship of whatever oddity the PC got waifu'd to.
>>28582831
Yes, I fucked up, I'm sorry. 69 or whatever she is still massively changed the story also, however.
>>
>>28582851
>still massively changed the story also
Yeah but, that's an innate part of this medium. It's one of the big draws of it for some, the possibility of big changes based on what the player is interested in. It's similar to a dnd campaign, you don't know what direct the players might take it.
>>
>>28582851
>>28582868
She didn't really change the story significantly either. The story was changed by the players pushing more for SoL stuff over combat. Even then there's still some combat. You could argue that the SoL was increased by having a foal, but I don't see what the changeling had to do with it. In fact, I can't think of any CYOA off-hand that was derailed by a non-standard species being waifued.
>>
>>28569453
I always find it funny when I see this image used. Reminds me I should draw it more.

>>28582741
I can still deliver on that, but it might take a few weeks first. I think I have a good place for one (or several).
>>
>>28582884
Half the fuckers here are /swt/ regulars i know so waifuing of interesting pones is to be expected.
>>
>>28582884
Oh, but there was one. One CYOA wherein a bat-waifu caused two weeks of horror. I dare not speak it's name.
>>
>>28582908
Waifuing tends to happen to whichever ponies are most waifu-able. Or, like in JAD's case, which ponies are open to an open relationship so that you can fuck the entire cast. Just skimming through the CYOA list shows a few where a waifu was chosen while a 'rare' species was a relatively close part of the cast.

The only strong pattern I can see is that griffons don't ever get waifued.
>>
>>28583063
Oh, and first girl of course. That's always a strong factor.
>>
Ya know, there's one that really doesn't get enough attention. Imagine a CYOA where it's the all the main and subspecies- Versus Thingpone! Of course the QM would have to resist someone trying to marry it.
