>>
>>29474653
He drew a bunch of art for Longname and hyoed it and it got really popular, and once twenty people were playing nobody could agree on anything any more, and then the QM decided the solution was to do something that nobody wanted and then it went down in a ball of flame and the quest died.

He learned to tone it down a bit after that.

And thus chapter 2 has concluded. Feel free to ask any questions about the quest in the thread before it drops off and I will see you in a few days time.

Also to anyone looking to catch up on the quest during the short hiatus you can read what you missed here. https://www.anonpone.com/equestrianwars/

I sincerely hope you have enjoyed so far.

On this special day, when Ember asked Shade why he wanted her to wear her scarf like a beanie, he said he was harvesting the memes.
She said they looked silly, with that scarf hanging on their manes like that.
Wanna know how I think you look, Shade replied.
He said it made her look like the prettiest beaniebate he had ever laid eyes upon.
He totally scored that night.
Anyway, here's your monthly beaniebate. Hearts and Hooves edition.

I'd have done Chance and Misty, but they aren't bats, and I am bound by the memes. I'll make sure to do something to make up for that later this month, though

>>29479393
I think you misquoted. Broken Hearts is sad moff quest, Morami's never done anything with Shade and Ember.

This is who you wanted to reply to.>>29479393

Sorry to waste your timew and disappoint you with my lack of answers. Have a nice day.
>>
>>29479372
It all started because beaniebate once was the newest, freshest meme, and I wanted to be a top memer. It certainly isn't a hot meme anymore now, 8 months later, but I'm an autist who can't let go of things.
I have no idea where I'm going, but I'm certainly going, with no intention to stop.

They channel their meme energy into the chaos emeralds, become super saiyans, and summon their stands to help them fight the memest horse of them all, __RITS__

Nowhere. I think he confused 'meme' with 'a thing I liked once'. He'll never be a top memer that way.

>Galloping Steel as it had been is probably dead, unfortunately. I've been keeping open the possibility of coming back to it, but it was a lot of effort and there just wasn't enough interest to keep me, lazy sod that I am, mustering the energy to get up early enough to run it. It wasn't uncommon for me to only have two players even at peak times. Plus the game was absolutely CRAWLING along... which admittedly is mostly my own fault, but still...

>However, I don't want to just abandon the Galloping Steel universe and characters, especially when some of you are still asking about it after all this time. So, similar to how Innkeeper's considering doing some more JAD stuff as greentext, I'm thinking I might do the same with Galloping Steel if you guys would enjoy that. It'd give me a lot more flexibility to write GS when my creative juices are flowing their best (which is typically when all of you guys are asleep), and I could bounce around a bit instead of having a strictly linear progression, which would allow me to tell of some of the more exciting stuff I'd had planned for GS and gloss over the "boring bits". I could, if desired, even do Q&A with the characters, similar to how an Ask blog works.

>What do you guys think? Would that be something you'd like to see, or would it just not be Galloping Steel without the moment-to-moment interactivity?

So, for the people playing Broken Hearts right now, would you like it to ends as it is right now, and maybe I could get back to Cuddle Bug and Ava another time in another short (or possibly long) quest, or would you like to keep going and see how things play out now that you've made your choice?

I will certainly take an epilogue if that is what is being offered, but I honestly didn't expect this to be so short. I had no idea it was a miniquest. I thought we would go home, play out the next few months, and slowly grow. We would slowly come out of our shell, bond with our new mother, and work our way through our emotional issues. I'm kind of disappointed to hear that the quest was just about choosing and not about helping Cuddle Bug in a more in-depth sense, but I still enjoyed it a lot, even if it is destined to end here.
>>
>>29482855
This and checked.
>>
>>29482855
I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting it to be so short either. I'll do an epilogue, if it's what's wanted but if you guys would like, we could keep the story going.
My only concern is that I don't want my other quest, Historical, to fall by the wayside. If I must, I could just do as Bath does and alternate quests. But I'm thinking that Broken Hearts shouldn't just end where it is.
>>
>>29482853
For the one guy who waited for Mandate.

(Probably not gonna have that many updates 2night because I was sicc as fuck today and wanna nap. Probably should've waited a week to start the quest but what can you do.)

Never forget Panzermane, friends.
He saved us all from a horrible fate.
If it weren't for him we would have puzzle based quests all over the board and you wouldn't be able to play anything else.
Don't be sad that he's gone.
It's was a small price to pay for the freedom we have now.

I'm starting to get a real fire in my heart. I think Broken Hearts is going to continue on after all. I hope you anons are okay with that.

Speaking of which... >>23503565 Were you seriously planning on having THREE IN EVERY FIVE puzzles be based around deliberately frustrating, obtuse, unsolvable bullshit!? Hey, are we going to get a rehash of the old a farmer's five sons trying to divide his land up between them chestnut next? That'll be fun, right? What on Earth, Equestria, and all the universes in-between could possibly possess you to think having out-and-out bullshit as the majority of your content would be fun for your players in any way? And trust me, they are NOT going to direct their hate towards the NPCs. Not for one second. If you really think that you're nothing short of delusional. This doesn't even work on the most basic conceptual level. If players are going in expecting the puzzles to be bullshit, they're going to start calling bullshit on puzzles that AREN'T bullshit. The game could at that point easily devolve into the players taking out their frustrations by trying to crack every NPC they come across over the head with a pipe wrench solely to avoid doing the horrible puzzles that are supposed to be the central focus of the CYOA, and it'll be nobody's fault but your own! I just... I'm sorry, but there literally aren't enough facepalm reaction images in the entire world... not even that mosaic one that forms the original facepalming Picard out of hundreds of other facepalm images. How is it even possible to so COMPLETELY miss the point of your own CYOA THIS hard and THIS early? The mind, frankly, boggles. And no, there's a big difference between a puzzle with an unusual, outside-the-box answer (like the one where we had to stick the corks up our nose to block the smell of garlic. That one was fine), and a puzzle that has no answer because it's purposefully structured incorrectly, as this last one was.

I literally felt the emotions. The internal buildup is just so perfect, there are all those conflicting feelings, and the description of the MC's sensations is so vivid. It's amazing.

>>29491033
Chargen is fine when the QM heads the players off at the pass and just gives the available options, instead of total freedom.
>>
>>29491066
the bigger problem is players not paying attention to what has been told and coming up with stuff that makes no sense the qm has to be there to point this stuff out before it gains so much momentum that by the time people realize the problem there is no choice but to make a nonsensical backstory like what happened to genequest where the players thought we were a fucking geneticist and something similar happened to do no harm with our origin.
>>
>>29491066
But that's boring and super gay
>>
>>29491040
>Genequest ended up with an mc that had a name which made no sense and a past that was totally absurd.

>It turns out pluto does not know a single fucking thing about electricity (his lack of knowledge on the subject actually confuses me a little did he not get taught anything in school)

That just goes to show you can't trust the group of anons to make a character, not that chargen is bad in principle.
>>
>>29491160
if it dose not work with the intended audience that does mean it is bad.
Although in nebulas case nobody could have expected the qm to be that clueless about electricity.

>>
>>29491139
It certainly improves the chances of them not being shit, considering the QM knows the setting and events that are upcoming and how to fit them into it properly. Saying that the QM is as likely to create a bad character as the players are is silly. By that logic all the NPCs would be shit too.

I'm still working on trying to make my characters more distinct. I feel as though the Player's party does not stand out enough on their own and i'm trying to find ways to remedy that. I don't have any particular answer yet unfortunately.

While the MC is mostly player developed everyone else is written by me.

The hands down best way to make an MC is have the QM give out a skeleton and have the players characterize it. From there, the QM establishes character from the actions and thoughts of the players.

Wrong, the best way is to start with a blank slate and let the players characterize them. But extenuate certain quirks the players seemed to like, but not full flanderization mode. Every so often introduce a hint a possible characterization quirk and if the players latch onto it themselves keep it if they don't drop it.

But then we would be no better then the solars we despise. There is a reason Emerald Jewel chose not to rape that succubus. It is also already established Rime would hate to emulate any solars she changed her mind about taking the deers horns as a trophy when it was pointed out that it was something the lightening pack would do.

When we next meet that faggot who raped us we should kick him in the face 3 times each kick harder then the last because the crime is more severe (and make sure he knows that)
First a soft(ish) kick for the rape.
Then a harder kick for stealing those plans
Finally a lethal kick for getting in the way of our dress shopping.

>>29499877
How did the players fuck up? Or did Bath just kill him/her for effect/forced drama?

>>29499885
The players had the ability to control 2 MCs at once. They voted to use one MC as bait while the other used the diversion to turn on a vehicle and run the enemies over. The enemies got to the bait MC before that and blew her head off. So yes, using a character as bait and sending them out in the open against like 3 enemies was a very stupid choice.

One MC was supposed to kill the other, the players didn't want to do that but it was becoming increasingly clearer that bath wasn't going to let us get away with it, and one of them was going to die. Squezzy was badly injured and had just kissed buttons, it could have been worse. We didn't know that was right before the boss fight.

Also I can't stress enough that no one was entering any comands. I don't know where the hell all the people who freaked out at the ending were the whole time. I think half of them just saw the death post in the general.

Playing that quest wasn't exactly fun but I liked it for what it was worth, at that point however I had a hard time not entering simply entering "Squeezy shoot youself so buttons can live" for every post.

And Squezzy was my Waifu too.

Equestrian Wars OP here

This is another reason I intentionally take as much time as possible with my posts. I want to avoid drama like this and give people more time to respond. To evade drama like this. While I believe it's fine to punish blatantly stupid decisions especially if everyone agrees upon them. Just one bad command ruining everything with nobody else to agree on it is a bad thing.

But I can't really say much beyond my thoughts as I wasn't there to witness the shitstorm and all that. These are just thoughts.

It was also being determined by dice rolls, so there's that too. I didn't 100 percent know that it would kill squezzy, just that it was a risky move.

>>29500435
I gave them an entire day to plan. Then after Squeezy got shot out of the sky I gsve them another day to think of a way out of the situation. Not sure if that's not enough time and I really hoped to see squeezy pull through. But I promised myself I woouldn't puss out either. At that point player were given the power to summon things back into existence and really is Squeezy had some cove she may have been able to pull through. I had also left a few things in the enviorment which could have been used to give both mares acleg up, but in the end they weren't used and Freshly Squeezed was left at the mercy of a ruthless enemy.

Also, being in the psychology field, I was interested in the "experimental" part of the quest, so figured Bath should know that he drove one anon to suicidal risk taking behaviour. And intersetingly it didn't present until hope for survival had been reintroduced

>>
>>29500917
>>29500924
Expirimental is by far Bath's worst quest.
Every aspect about it was awful. The alien invasion was bleh, and neither was the lore behind it interesting. It was needlessly dark, and it went on way too long for what it was. It was capped by probably the dumbest quest segment I've ever seen, which was meeting Bath, for some reason.
The entire quest was an exercise in 'what not to do,' and for God's sake, it needs to stay dead. Bath should just stick to his other active quests.
>>
>>29500943
>>29500924
The fact that people liked experimental and coltquest is proof that people will like anything, no matter how terrible it is.

I'd say coltquest was actually better. For all of its bullshit it at least avoids dragging canon Equestria into it.

That's more of an opinion than anything. Sorry you didn't care for it much. I certainly enjoyed it.

https://www.anonpone.com/equestrianwars/

As I said earlier >>29491216 >>29491443 I feel like some of my characters are too similiar or aren't expressed correctly ect. I feel like the characters aren't distinctive or stand out enough. Acre is player written mostly tho, i'm talking about the party members. I feel like you could easily replace one with another and nothing would change.

Maybe i'm just crazy and literally nobody else thinks that, but who knows. Basically I feel the party members need more distinctive personalities to make them differ from eachother.

Are any of them running remotely quickly or are they all just piddling along and Cammy can't figure out how to make things faster and more energetic?

Is Cammy taking the Coltshan approach?
>>
>>29502434
I take offense to that
There's nothing wrong with reading and not playing as long as you don't complain about how the sorry turned out

My thread died. I'll make a new one Monday.

You know, it's times like this when I start to think, "Inept, things were so much better when every wrong move in your games ended with a crassly inappropriate but also hilarious death."

>>29502470
Yea, that's okay I guess, it’s always nice to get more input from players though. Why don't you contribute? Or are you talking about after the fact?
>>
>>29502485
As long as they don't start randomly halfway through the quest I'd agree.
>>
>>29502485
Well everyone just assumed you're a given.
>>
>>29499841
Well, there was this one time we ran straight into a trap and got ourselves turned into a gem. Fun times.
>>
>>29502485
yeah but you punish players for things that aren't stupid either so you don't count
>>
>>29502485
I agree, I liked you better when you weren't a little pussy bitch.
>>
>>29502485
Maybe we need to do more ballsy and stupid actions. Like making a nailed bat and looking for changelings to fight.
>>
>>29502485
Shut up Inept.

>>29502402

Where do you draw the line between railroading and character development for the MC? Is it okay for an MC to refuse to do some minor task the players say to do, say out of fear of the task or anger at an NPC involved in it?
>>
>>29502587
Depends on how hard the players are pushing and if the characterization is pre-existing. Either way it shouldn't be an open and shut case.

Player decision > The MC expressing his fear and anger > Player Decision to give them an opportunity to not do it or rationalize doing it is the best solution. If the players go hard on DO IT both times and the MC doesn't, there's going to be problems. He could fail/fuck up because of his fear or anger, but the MC better damn well try to do whatever it is.
