First, you cd quest.
Then, you set your computer to mark all files as useless, with the power of rm. Now could be a good time to take a look at your room.

>>15935
Look around room in general, and specifically for a printer or other way to view images.

Also I shake my fist at the disobedient quest master.

You're certainly a Hoennbaby.
But you deleted your save file a week ago. You had been planning to play through Pokemon Emerald again. Playing it now would probably be a poor use of time.
My apologies for drawings which are slow and bad, but inexpensive.

You're going to look at the Window soon, after you finish feeling nostalgia over this game.

>>16146
I legitimately cannot believe you obliged my request. I did that just to spite you not rm -rf'ing your whole folder. It almost makes up for it.

Yeah, look out that window. Also, let's look in the battletech box.

Well, it's nice to look out the window, but you think you can ignore the fact your door is locked from the outside.
IT'S /tg/ TIME!
You've read every book in this box, but you've never played a game with anyone but yourself. It's a perfectly normal Battletech introductory box.

>>16202
Rifle through contents and look for anything out of place. If nothing out of place, check pockets.

You look at your penis, but you just can't seem to be inspired by it.

The computer's totally fugged! Remember when you did "rm -rf /*"?
That sort of file probably wasn't on this computer to begin with, though.

>>16322
Wrong. I did rm -rf ./*
Note the . which means current directory.

>>16322
Also, rm doesn't "mark all files as useless" it *ReMoves* them. And since you answered the way you did, I took that to mean you were denying the action, so for the sake of clarity of speech and continuity, let's act as if those files were not deleted.

You swear you intended to type a period in there back then, now that you think of it.
Can't change the past! You didn't notice it when you could've recovered from it with a nice ^C
You stomp the ground in anger.
I'm sorry. Also, we need more anons here.

>>16349
omg, so you're ACTUALLY running this shit in a VM? And you ACTUALLY borked the whole thing? Wasn't the computer entirely central to the quest?

>>16356
It's a mystery. I've already provided lots of hints earlier in the thread. You can still win this quest.

>>16368
Inspect ceiling fixture.

I don't understand whats happening.

>>16382
Dude's trapped in his room. I have been fucking things up and making the OP draw a lot of stupid pictures. Am now worried how to unfuck things.

>>16368
Do I have any kind of external drive?
What about the other half of the room

Your ceiling fan and light are operating at medium speed.
>>16382
The protagonist has had his door locked from the outside by some weirdo who also put a computer in his room. Since then, the protagonist has wiped the computer. Please feel free to suggest things.
>>16386
The computer placed in your room has no external drive. Your own computer is entirely missing.
On the other side of the room is a bed, and a table with board games and stuffed animals on it.

>>16392
Um. IDK, look for a piss bottle?

>>16392
Look at the door, and try to see how it was locked.
Also see if there are any alternative exits from your room.

>>16392
Lets see if we can fix the computer. Anyone at your powerlevel should have old installation media lying around, so lets hunt for DVDs and flashdrives. Try looking behind/under the desk?

>>16407
You realise you may have to pee sometime. Your tormentor was correct. You don't have enough piss bottles. You have a total of 0 (zero) piss bottles.
>>16411
The door shows no obvious signs from the inside, but the handle doesn't budge at all.
Your only other portal to the outside world is your window.

Have any recommendations or criticism? This is my first quest. Before visiting /qst/, I had only read five quests in my life.

>>16428
>Have any recommendations or criticism?
Maybe aim for telling less and showing more? So rather than just saying the door's locked give people a reason to try and open the door?
You're doing pretty well though.

>>16428
Criticism: You implied strongly that we had to find a hidden file on the computer, and then let me delete it all. You did so, without making it obvious that you were doing so (the power of rm, etc etc), and then didn't run the exact command I gave.

Right now, we have no direction at all because the only hints you've given are:
hidden file
locked door
piss bottles
gentle breeze from ceiling fan
night time, crickets chirping
gbasp + pokemon emerald
battletech
broken computer

Clearly not enough to go off of. I tried to pursue the GBA SP and Battletech routes, thinking some shit was hidden in one or both, but you actively discouraged that. The computer is obviously not important because you let it be completely trashed. And we have no inventory of additional objects. So we have zero direction at all.

>>16443
We have a window too right?

>>16428
Can the window be opened?

File: unixquest024.png (8KB, 640x480px) Image search: [Google]

8KB, 640x480px

>>16417
You also check under and in your desk, but only find the desktop tower, and old papers.
But, on top of your desk is an OpenBSD 5.8 CD. The computer is totally rekt though. Is there a way out of the room other than the door?

>>16442
I see.
>>16443
I've been pushing a direction pretty hard, but no one is taking it. It's probably my fault. It's related to the crickets chirping. I'm sorry. You are correct the computer is not necessary to complete the quest. It was only one possible route.

Can we go back to the game boy advance, Turn it on and start a new game in Pokemon Emerald?

>>16456
Okay yeah, open the window.

We COULD, but I'm not sure why that'd help.

>>16461
That makes things simpler.
Grab the install disk and the Gameboy, and GTFO.
Maybe walk around the house, and see if there are any entry points?

Some of your stuff is moved around a little. Not much. Your room is to the right.
The kitchen is to the left.

The near left, or the far left?
If it's the former, go there and see what you can find. A knife might be handy.

No problem, It was interesting.

Only advice I have is to try to figure out how to direct your players attention through elements in the quest.

Yeah, I learnt that.
I might do another quest next month, as I found out that doing one without planning was more stressful than expected.
