The law has gone silent and the land is ruled by anarchy. Justice is now held in the hands of the many. Your only goal is to survive the wrath of your fellow man.

When starting the game, roll a 100 die to determine your clout in society. Higher numbers are more prestigious(lawyers, politicians, CEOs, etc ...), lower numbers are less so (janitors, cashiers, electricians, etc ...). The roles are created individually by the player but must correspond to the die roll in terms of that role's prestige.

You can do absolutely anything within the bounds of reality (a.k.a. no superpowers or magic). The success or failure of individual actions are determined by a 1000 die roll. The spectrum of possible outcomes is as follows:

1-149: Horrible Outcome
150-299: Bad Outcome
300-499: Unfortunate Outcome
500-699: Fortunate Outcome
700-849: Great Outcome
850-1000: Spectacular Outcome

Finally, depending on the initial number you rolled when entering the game, that number is added onto whatever decision (the 1000 die roll) YOU make. This is to simulate the fortunate effects of your role's greater prestige.

You lose the game by getting killed. A player must wait until 24 hours has passed (real time) until they can play again.

So, without further ado ...

Let's begin the culling.

[Loosely inspired by a frustrating game by a similar name]

For your entire life, you've felt like a target was painted on you. Neighborhood bullies would hassle you for your allowance, upright ladders would fall in your direction, and the strangest sorts of little accidents would happen in between. With such things happening to you, it was easy to feel that way.

In reality, it's really a crazy world you live in. Anyone can just step up to be a GUY, with the intent to become a helper or hinderer of society. When you were 9 years old, your father made a bold claim never heard before...

...he wanted to be THE GUY (not to be confused with THAT GUY, nobody likes that guy). And, for one glorious year, he was THE GUY. But then, without warning, he disappeared. Just poof, gone. No death, no steady drop from relevance, no resignation.
You scoured your house, looking for clues, anything that could help you learn his intentions.

You didn't find anything regarding his disappearance, but you did find old journal entries, old self-help books, and other articles that helped him become a GUY. But most importantly, you found his first handgun. It was then you resolved to begin your own training.

You began training in the mountains, undergoing the rigorous trials and tribulations as described in your father's journals. It was rough, to say the least; as crazy as the city was, it didn't hold a candle to the wilderness. You learned first how to survive, from there you would build your skills as a GUY.

It started with learning the base essentials of Dynamics. Once you learned those, you could easily escape a bear or wolf. "Nature Dynamics," as your father called them, were theoretically the best, due to their effect on one's reflexes and mobility.

Dynamics don't last forever though; you need to destroy assailing forces and rest unaccosted in order to restore your supply. This is a fact you learned, and had to relearn, over and over again.

Eventually you got it. Near the end of your training montage, you got to the point where you could use Dynamics to dodge the falling rains without getting wet. No bear, bird, tree, or wolf could touch you, as long as you minded your Dynamic reserve.

Three years later, you return home, barely a teen but already on your way to becoming THE GUY. You know you want to find your father, and following in his footsteps is the best way to do so.

Jara has touched the same ancient curly staff that froze her for 1800 years, triggering a magical hiccup of some kind across the Many Planes--giving her a split-second view from the one remaining eye of her body back in the Human World. The strange energies of the same staff has transformed the Goreiphant it was embedded within into something altogether different.

In order to move forward, we first must understand where we are coming from. It's time for some backstory...

>Archive: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?searchall=Local+Man+Visits+Earth

Royce Arnolds, aged 28 now, has been having a pretty solid year since we last saw him. He met a girl through a drunken misdial, and their interactions have this dipstick smitten. He's been hitting up fitness routines, getting a little better into shape. He cut awful foods out by enough to make some changes in his life. What little pudge he had he's shaved, figured out how to account better for money and shit.

The planning he's made on this trip has put him in a bit of a dilemma. He wants to rush straight into the arms of his lover, Lynell, but he's also wanting to visit the Confederacy of Mankind as a whole. Doing some research, he found out that the trip's mostly freeform! Well, he has to go through the Outer Colonies first, of course.

CHOOSE FROM IMMEDIATE POSSIBILITIES:
>Leuans Colony
>The Xaoc System

Both of these Outer Colonies are within a few days of travel between Braldy's Escape, and about the same distance between the two, so those are both really good starting points. Royce isn't keen on staying in either of them for much longer than is utterly necessary, but think of the stories!

Debating things, Royce gets a notification from the bank. "Your credit balance is the target amount!" It's a metric fuckton of cash. Crystal. Credits? Whatever. It's a lot of money, allowing the owner of your credit chit effectively a blank check this whole trip. It's amazing what actually shopping for good food, and spending time learning to play music (one payment for a single guitar!) instead of blowing cash on video games and booze can do for a budget. All set, asides from some formalities.

Include previous choice with this one:
>Strum some notes on guitar in celebration
>Ring up work and tell them you're making a leave of absence
>Call Lynell, see if she's as stoked as you

Gentlemen,

We all know why we're gathered here tonight. The President is no more, the people are blind, deaf and dumb, all power lies with us, all weapons, scientific advancement and research. This my good fellows is the time of our reckoning. We all know what's at stake here. We only have 72 hours, starting now, to pull off the first and initial part of our plan. The world lies just beyond this door yet we will now attempt enslaving it from these very seats. Check in. You have 10 minutes after which I will proceed.

His armor Black, Skulls mounted on his waist, the black crown mounted upon the beasts head was proof enough. Leo had seen this man in his dreams. This twisted and corrupted man, the king of elf-kind. His skin looked black, sandy. His face was missing its nose, and only the smallest layer of skin covered his head. He held his silver sword outright from his right hand, Pointed at Leo and his companions. The elven mages fire attack proved fruitless, as the being conjured a barrier of some kind to defend itself from the blow. Just as before, this enemy was more than a mindless shambling husk. The situation looked grim.

Leo was tired. He had run down the stairway from the top floor with all his might in order to give the group time to prepare, to get ready to fight. And in the end, it served little purpose. For their ambush had failed. Thea had channeled enough magic to unleash her lightning, but held back. Waiting for an opening, or else her attack may also end up slamming into a barrier. The group couldn’t afford to have to wait for another spell. They knew nothing of their enemy’s abilities, other than that it had some form of magical prowess.

To add to the desperation of the situation, the two remaining knights in the group were seriously injured. One with an array of broken bones and shattered ribs, Another with a deep cut across his torso, Shield destroyed and armor ravaged from their previous battle. The two men could barely stand upright, Let alone swing their weapons at a foe most likely faster than them both. Leo could hear the elven mages were breathing heavily behind him, starting to feel the strain on their bodies as well. Thea was on the verge of collapse, and nobody knew how much she had in her.

But the most devastating thing in the back of Leo’s mind, was that this was the first of 4 foes. The other 3 had yet to descend the stairway, but Leo knew that they had seen him. It was only a matter of time before the enemy was reinforced. The fate of everyone was at stake.
“Create an opening, and I’ll be ready” Thea whispered, as they all prepared to meet their destinies.

>Stall the enemy giving Thea and the mages time to retreat.
>Let the knight’s attack first and help create an opening for Thea.
>Charge the elven king and create an opening by yourself.
>Let the knights distract the enemy while you help Thea escape.
>write in.

This is a more up to date and refined version of my old /tg/ game's NECKBEARD quest, but remade. All previous files are wiped. Cheats disabled.
This game is still experimental as the last, but you can only control other characters within your party and not every character you come across with such as in the last game. Complete NSFW content is blacked out.

The last number of the first player to hit START determines whether it will be an even or odd post's actions that will get chosen. (0-8 evens, 1-9 odds)

(The whole thing will be done on graphics gale. Once we set up our game, it'll take a while for me to draw up assets. Be patient!)

Welcome back to the next expansion on the Demon Invasion quest. This is the third part in the quest so I'm going to give you the run down in what happened before.

Part One: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive/44086/
Roc, a demon lord, was summoned by a cult of tieflings looking for revenge on a human kingdom that slaughter hundreds of tieflings. Roc spawned into a dungeon with four other demons. Twelve tieflings stand before him, pleading to help and gives Roc leadership promising a foot hold in this plane of existence. Baskalon, a tiefling wielding an ax, is a named companion who represents the cult of the tieflings.

The group sets off and finds a caravan of humans, kills them and then takes four hostages. They return to the base and then partially explored a ruin to the north and found a mysterious pickax which is needed in their start for gathering resources.

Part Two: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive/78892/
Roc and his group build up their base only to be attacked by goblins in a forest. Saving Erina he goes to the base and a goblin horde, attracted by magic, then attacks the base. After the group killed the goblins and takes many as slaves and leave to ruins past the plains. The group holds up in the ruins and we learn that this is the same place the evil ritual began that created the tieflings and Roc was apart of said ritual. There is a vast library that holds many knowledgeable tomes of magic and lore. After another summoning they attract many goblins only to befriend them and use them a manual labor. A group of humans were also captured after the fact that were attracted to the burning once base. Erina and Roc set it off in a relationship.

Now you are all caught up lets begin.
The first vote is to tell me one thing.

>Multi perspective
or
>single perspective

I'm trying to decide if I want to show another character which is a human or if we should keep it with Roc. Though if we go with Roc it will not be the same place we left him as it will be a year in the future. What do you say? Human or Roc? There will still be the continuation with Roc's story only that the story with the human wouldn't be a civ but more a traditional quest. Roc will be more of commanding legions and the human might be later but starts with nothing and will require a build up. So if choose multi perspective then it will swing between Roc's Story and the human's like in a book like GoT or LOTR or something like that. Also it would be easier for new players to join in fast.

Far off, nestled in an otherwise small Japanese town lies the Dark Gate Academy. An institution of tremendous size, the Academy holds a long kept secret. Unknown to the outside world, this unseemly town is home to a tear in our reality. A gate between our world and a bizarre dimension known as the Darkworld. The inhabitants of this hellish world breach this gate and attempt to flood into our reality and spread throughout the world on a regular basis. However, the Dark Gate Academy is home to students of truly extraordinary abilities. The ability to sense the presence of these evil Darkword creatures, and defeat them in combat, sending them back through the gate.

They cannot close the rift between our world and the Darkworld, but the students and staff of Dark Gate Academy have dedicated their lives to using their amazing powers to hold back the darkness that plagues our world, even if it costs them their lives. They have risen up to the challenge and in secret have become great heroic defenders of the world as we know it.

You... are not one of them. You are a transfer student. There was a bit of a mix-up.

>Previously on Dark Gate Academy...
An encounter with Alice revealed your secret to the rest of the school, and now Class 3 are coming for you.
