>Is it a struggle to continue writing your current quest when you have other quest ideas that you want write about as well? Do you hold it in, focus, and wait until you finish your current quest or do you make the other quests at possible risk of spreading yourself too thin?
I always run the quest I feel like running at the time.

Pretty much glaze over their quest. I don't have the time to help someone be better at questing. Unless the idea is really good, then I'll keep voting. But never lurk. Never.

Depends on the mistakes. If they look like they failed basic English, I ain't even gonna give them a chance.

No, it's a struggle because I have a lot of IRL stuff on my plate. And I would rather finish my current quest before anything else. RAPIDFIRE already taught me that lesson.


>What do you do when you see a new QM make rookie mistakes? Drop? Lurk? Keep voting anyway?
Keep voting and/or lurk, but I'm a picky man and I might not linger for long. Especially when it looks like every thread I participate as a player ends up dying.

>Wanted to announce my quest resuming soon to my small handful of players
>They all hang out in Discord

Welp, I hope at least one of them uses Twitter regularly.

What are you two talking about?

>>697564
Banished. QM took a lot of classes this semester and his quest has been feeling it.

>Is it a struggle to continue writing your current quest when you have other quest ideas that you want write about as well?

I do have other ideas, but I really enjoy my current quest and see no reason to switch as of yet.

>Do you hold it in, focus, and wait until you finish your current quest or do you make the other quests at possible risk of spreading yourself too thin?

My current quest takes three days to complete and entire thread, so yea I rather wait and finish this quest before moving onto the next one. If I tried running another quest I simply wouldn't have time for my other activities, such as video games or shitposting.

>What do you do when you see a new QM make rookie mistakes? Drop? Lurk? Keep voting anyway?

Keep voting unless the mistake was really, really massive like insulting a player or announcing a thread but flaking on it without a good reason.

New Whirlpool Quest thread at last!

>>697637
>>697637
>>697637
Image was drawn by one of my players.

Despite what impressions the image might tell, the current situation has nothing to do with it. MC and friends just beat a pair of robots. Just two more threads...

Anyone notice how rapidly quests burn out here?

I haven't found a single /qst/-born quest that didn't lose most of its players stupidly quickly. Even the few "popular" ones only stay that way for 5-10 threads. The ones that were forced off of /tg/ seem to have more staying power, but that's only because they have an existing fanbase.

Anyone have any idea why /qst/ers seem to have rampant ADD? Especially considering the board is the half-aborted bastard child of one of the most autistic boards on 4chan?

>>697472

I feel left out that all the new, hip kids seem to be using Discord these days.

>>697857
Eh, having a discord isn't required. I just use it to keep in touch with my players since without it me and my players just aimlessly wait on each other. When you have a large-enough playerbase you don't need it.

>>697853

I find its incredibly damn difficult to get any sort of audience here yes. Looking back on things I probably should've taken my chances on Anonkun more than anything else. With my current quest I felt I at least had a playerbase on /tg/, but here it feels like I had to start all over again on quite possibly the slowest board on 4chan.

I love my players, all three of them. But I can certainly see how other QM's feel the burn of this board and its glacial pace and begin to wonder why they should even bother since no one is reading their quest, because there's barely any traffic here.

Can someone tell me what exactly is going on in Himehorn 911?

Seems like there is a massive amount of lore/backstory or references to things out of thread that I'm missing out on. Is there any connections to things or is it just the amazing ramblings of a madman?

German player here, so different time zone for me.

>When is the best time to start a quest?

>How long will the quest thread I created be online here on /tg/? Wil it be deleted from this board after a defined amount of time?

>>697853
I don't know. But I can share some census info. I 'play' at most six quests and that might sound like a lot, but it boils down to this:
#1. Homeless Mutant Quest. (Crusty Come Back)
#2. Banished. (Unofficial Hiatus)
#3. GHQ. (Runs 1-2 times a week. Has long breaks.)
#4. Hive Queen Quest. (Declared Hiatus)
#5. Audit Quest. (Runs Sometimes)
#6. Mecha Space Pirate. (Doesn't Run on Commodore 64)

And, these are the only quests I can actively play.
Because their schedules match up with my life.
The times I have free time, like right now, are already taken up by quests currently running. Nothing real special has taken off here enough to noodle my real life around for, or to distract me from participating in quests I already like.

Honorable mention Dark Gate Academy. It's alright but I dropped it a while back.
Lamplighter is another mention, I guess. But I can't keep up with the QMs schedule and resorted to reading it from the archives.

All the other quests I like are on Akun and tgchan and those have much longer periods of voting and are pretty accessible for people lacking quaint sensibilities.

>>697948
>>When is the best time to start a quest?
Fridays and weekends on the evening EST time

>How long will the quest thread I created be online here on /tg/? Wil it be deleted from this board after a defined amount of time?
You mean /qst/? Threads fall off the board after 8-9 days. There's an automatic autosage after 3 days to prevent clutter.

>>697948
>When is the best time to start a quest?
I don't know if there is a good time. Most of my players are all over the map. North American afternoon/evening is probably best if I had to guess, though.

>How long will the quest thread I created be online here on /tg/? Wil it be deleted from this board after a defined amount of time?
It stays until it's eventually pushed down from new threads being created and nobody posting in that thread. My threads hit autosage and still last like 5+ days. /qst/ is slow.

>>697853
Most quests died or slowed down immensely by thread 2 on /tg/ too.

>>697955
Wait, what's GHQ?

>>697955
>Nothing real special has taken off here enough to noodle my real life around for

As an expansion of this, it's also the reason I'm hanging out here inbetween updates.

So,
>Player Question.
Any newish and interesting quests running right now or Saturday?

Don't tell me so if you're the QM you should be interested in your own idea by default and if that's a fact you have to advertise you're already dead to me.

>>697993
>Any newish and interesting quests running right now or Saturday?
Starcaller's just started, but looking good so far

Well guys, I just ran Jedi Knight Quest #1 and it only sucked sometimes.

Any advice for sticking to a schedule here?

>>697853
What do you mean by '/qst/ born'?

Does both the QM and the quest have to have their start on /qtg/ or can just the quest have it's beginning on /qst/?

If the latter, Lamplighter and Northern Beasts have been going strong.

>only stay that way for 5-10 threads
Gotta remember that /qst/ threads are like x3 the length of a /tg/ thread. Depends on how much the QM uses his or her thread during the week they have it.

>>697378
>>QM Questions:
>Is it a struggle to continue writing your current quest when you have other quest ideas that you want write about as well? Do you hold it in, focus, and wait until you finish your current quest or do you make the other quests at possible risk of spreading yourself too thin?

Yes, and I often spread myself too thin

>>698051
Write down a schedule then stick to it.

Reminder that Edgelords of the Outer Rim is running this Saturday at 7pm UTC!

Stay updated at: https://twitter.com/Venator_QM
for updates.

I don't feel like I've established much of a foothold here, but I'll answer.

>Is it a struggle to continue writing your current quest when you have other quest ideas that you want write about as well?
<It was certainly a struggle to even decide on which idea I wanted to use, but now that I have it out, I don't dare to start on my other ideas, for the exact reason; I don't want to spread myself too thin.

>What do when a QM makes rookie mistakes?
I stick with it. I mean, when I'm a player I'm just another Anon, so there's no proof of concept to back up my claims; still, if I'm interested in a story, I stick with it, whether archive binging or actually playing.
If anything, it's shitposting or waifu wars that turn me off. Even saying that though, some settings are good enough for me to be able to ignore such things.

>>698053
>If the latter, Lamplighter and Northern Beasts have been going strong.
Lamplighter started here, but the QM started out on /tg/ and brought an audience with him.

>>698452
Twas why I gave the 'If the latter' stipulation.

Yes, and it is absolute suffering. I always make the other quest, and not too long afterward I vanish due to life shit happening.

But this time will be different.

It depends on what you want really, because it's likely what you enjoy most and what will pander to anon will get you a strong and consistent following will not be exactly the same thing. Now that's not to say you'll loathe what works, I certainly don't. Also understand that fundamentally anon will not do exactly what you want/envision and be flexible.

What ever happened to Eagle Rising quest, the warcraft one back on /tg/ is the qm ded?

>>698736
>The one I am most interested in or currently running

But if that's not one of the options, then I'll probably go with
>the one that is more fleshed out
because I'll have put a lot more thought into ideas I personally like. Though it has happened before that I decide to FINALLY run X quest, sit down, and find myself writing an OP all about Y.

Samsara Quest used to be a different quest I was calling 'Anima Parasite' quest. It was going to be VASTLY DIFFERENT.

>>697378
>What do you do when you see a new QM make rookie mistakes? Drop? Lurk? Keep voting anyway?
sit back and just keep voting.
if it gets to unsalvageable levels i leave. however, if the QM is clearly invested to it, I stick around and try to reccomend alternative solutions.

>697378
>>QM Questions

It can be really hard to stop thinking about a quest I have in the idea phase sometimes, yes. It seems to me that the best course of action is to simply allow those thoughts to run to their natural conclusion and fill out the idea-book until they're all out. And if that still doesn't do it and I just can't get on track, I take a break until I'm ready again.

I'll never start a second quest without finishing the first. I've considered it and been tempted, but I know that I shouldn't. I'm already a slow writer, I'm not a great writer either, and I only run every 1-2 weeks. I want people to at least be able to trust my name to always finish what I start. However long it may take, we WILL reach the end. I think that counts for something.

>>697378
> However long it may take, we WILL reach the end. I think that counts for something.
Agreed.

Rolled 44 (1d100)

>>697378
>>QM Question:
When I'm running a session it's usually not much of a problem, after one or two hours of writing I find it easy to focus on the current setting. Between sessions however, it's quite difficult to build up the motivation when I'd really like to write something else.
In the end, I just gave in and started my new Quest about a week ago, and currently I'm working on fleshing out a system for that. Once that is done I plan on running both about once a week, as long as that doesn't fuck up my schedule too much.

>>Player Question:
Well, I do expect some decent grasp on writing, anything too egregious will make me drop, as will the QM and/or players suddenly taking the story in a direction I'm not interested in. But if it's just rookie mistakes because the QM is unfamiliar with the format, I'll stay and try to help, provided the QM wants that.

Halfway through my previous sci-fi civ quest I started thinking of ideas for a fantasy civ quest, which I'v been doing for three months now. When I get new ideas I can usually just incorporate them in my current quest, as we have not explored the entire world yet and I make most things up as I go anyway.

Speaking of which, I'd like to see a review of my stuff.

Two words:
Quest Notebook.

Still have ideas fleshed out from quests I started but dropped before, as well as a fair number of new ones. I can focus on my current quest and come back to ideas I like and have prepared after its conclusion or poach ideas from quests not yet written. Also I can come back to more difficult quests later on when I have the skill needed to write them consistently well and entertaining enough for the players.

looking at you, Seven Stand at Shella. I'll master your beautiful multiple POV's someday :')

>Player Question:
I try to keep voting. I have some attempts at starting discussions but that takes two to make it work.

>>697961
Try 10-11 days.

The gap is increasing.

>>699699
It is also about when the more popular QMs are running. Since some of them will run 2-3 threads in a few days.

>>697378
>>Player Question:
>What do you do when you see a new QM make rookie mistakes? Drop? Lurk? Keep voting anyway?
Depends on the mistake, the frequency of it, and the QM's reaction to player comments about it. If it bugs me enough, I'll drop it for a couple of threads and then catch up to see if they have improved. Usually I just keep reading and voting, though.

>>697853
>Anyone have any idea why /qst/ers seem to have rampant ADD?

It's not ADD it's I don't care about playing in new quests when almost every quest I participate in dies because the QM vanishes or when every other player disappears for hours on end.

There ARE good quests from this board from new QMs. They are just few. The risky ACTIVE decisions of Hero Guardian were great and one of the few quests I would say pulled anime cliches off right. Dark Gate Academy is still alive thank Beelzebub. The short lived weekend crushing Dark Spirit had a setting I genuinely wanted to tear to pieces. European Dragon grew stagnant but it was good for a time. Beacon Hunter showed a lot of promise but the QM is just gone. Starcaller is new and it's hard to judge how good a quest is on one session but it has my interest. Bizarre Adventures of Victory is still alive too. Norseman Saga looks like it's shaping up and that's new. BioArmor was another with potential but my interest caved with the long breaks. There are others but I probably don't know about them because I'm not here every day.

But in spite of the good ones I feel disillusioned with new quests a lot because there are so many good quests to learn from in the archives. If anyone could just take dead but good ideas and make them shine again that would be enough for me but it is what it is.

I wouldn't mind Hero Guardian Quest being taken over and started again- hell, I'd do it myself if I had the spare time.

As it stands, though, my schedule is very scattered.

Also, Magical Girl For Hire Quest resumes in 2 hours. Not feeling great, and I may start running every other day just to give myself some breathing room.

The Nationals lost Game 5, their third postseason loss in the NLDS. They've never advanced father than the NLDS, and haven't touched the World Series since 1924.

The Washington Nationals is the 3rd iteration of a Washington baseball team after 33 years of not having baseball there and almost a century of mediocre Washington baseball.

And to make things worse, I have to put up with the fucking Redskins through the fucking Winter.

We all make mistakes. I run an anime quest, for example.

/snark

But really, if I'm dropping ship, the quest either didn't really draw me in, or the mistake was massive. I make grammatical hiccups all the time, usually because I run after a full day's work. I own it, usually.

when the rolling consensus is to constantly touch fluffy tail or flirt, and the QM actively encourages it, you're more or less driving out everyone who DOESN'T have ADD. Just putting one of the cases out there.

Hey.


Sorry for being late. I was in desperate need of a deep sleep.

However, I am feeling blank if this makes any sense. I don't have anything on my mind to base the next quest on. So, I don'r know, maybe we will start tomorrow?

Unless something came up.

Let me remind you that nobody is going to know jack shit about appmon until the demo comes out in english.

>>701818
If I do decide to run the quest it's not going to have anything to do with Appmon.

So I've been thinking about running a quest for a long time but I've only ever participated in a couple and never ran one before. My idea is that I have a good amount of experience in running tabletop cthulhu but have dozens and dozens of ideas/old prewritten scenarios that I kind of want to mess with but will never have the time to actually run irl. And some of them are kind of dumb and would need too much work to fix, but with the way quests can get absurd might work okay in this format.

Is trying to do anything remotely horror a bad idea or could it work, and if I want to incorperate some kind of dice mechanic (like a modified Cthulhu Dark which takes 1-3 d6s and doesn't require a lot of rolling) would it be better to just make the relevant rolls on my end or have each person roll in their post and choose one in some way (first of the most popular option or something.)

Hello.

>>701879
Don't let the idea that you don't have a lot of experience with the questing medium discourage you, I had only lurked in a few threads before I knew I wanted to try being a QM. So long as you have some good ideas, decent writing, and a desire to improve I've found people are willing to watch if nothing else. And if your first idea doesn't pan out, try something else.

>>701753
You mean Quest for the Best Quest or whatever? OP abandoned it and its daughter quest got hijacked.

>>702347
Not that. Metaquest was essentially taking a bunch of ideas and settings from dead quests and putting them into one agency that roots out evil across the multiverse or something.

Look up /tg/ Metaquest or Transpace Guard, it would've been a /qst/ version of that

>>702359

>>703537
If you're starting out, and unless you practice the mystical art of the one-shot, it's more pressing to know how it will continue.

>>703364
Animating 2d drawn stuff takes a lot of time, you know.

Just by the drawn raw frames, if you animate by twos, which is standard for animu, and you have a running intro time of 90 seconds, that's at least 45 uniquely drawn frames, and that's not yet without BGs, compositing for graphics, editing, etc.

And cegremo's doing it solo, so...

>>703620
My bad, most animu is shot on threes. If you shoot on ones, it starts looking unnatural.

>>703636

Yeah, shooting on twos is mostly for American Cartoons, if memory serves me right. Very few Anime Series/OVAs/Movies have had the budget to shot on twos to the best of my knowledge, so doing an animated quest of any size or complexity sounds like a massive undertaking to me.

>>703537
>>703584
There is no good reason to NOT run a one-shot (or three-shot) if you're just starting out. Sure, some players aren't interested in short quests, but plenty others are and may even be more inclined to look at your quest if it has [One-shot] in the title. Not only are those rare nowadays, it's an almost certain guarantee the quest won't be abandoned and the players left hanging, something that has become far too frequent.

You're also getting an excellent practice round for yourself, getting to feel exactly what it's like to manage a crowd of players while writing on the fly. In fact you're getting the entire experience of questing, but in a short enough burst that you'll be able to reflect over your work and evaluate what you need to improve on and what your strengths are.

And you know what's even better? You'll be getting your name out there. You'll be noticed, some of your players will be left thinking "this guy is fun, I wish he had linked a twitter at the end of the quest so I can follow him." And you know what's even better? You actually DID read the freaking advice pastebin that's in every QTG so you already made that twitter and linked it at the end of your first thread. Now you have followers who will check out your next one-shot or full-length quest instead of having to blindly throw your hook into the sea of quests and hoping someone bites!

RUN A ONE-SHOT!

>>703648
Cegremo is only doing this for the intro/recap. But even for the animated intro it was a very much tweened powerpoint slideshow in some ways.

where do waifus fit in here? Achievers?

>>704020
Explorers if they're waifuing for the relationships/narrative experience, Achievers if they're seeking the waifu as a checkbox to tick on the way to 'winning' the story, Killers if they're pursuing waifu wars as a way to glean their own enjoyment from the denial of others' desires (ie, they only want waifu X because that way they will have defeated supporters of waifu Y), Socialisers if they wish to experience waifuing as a communal endeavour with other like-minded waifu posters.

The somewhat unique dynamic of questing means which of these appeals is most prominent in a particular quest depends primarily on the QM and their relationship with the players.

I remind myself that I barely have time to keep to my current commitments, and that I enjoy what I'm doing right now. Makes it easier to focus, and not run away with ideas that I don't have the time or sustained interest to actually run anyway.
>What do you do when you see a new QM make rookie mistakes? Drop? Lurk? Keep voting anyway?
I'm a massive normalfag, so I hardly keep up on any other quests. But the few I kept up on made some mistakes, sure: I just voted as usual, because I remember when I was making similar mistakes, and the premise still kept me engaged long enough to work through them.

A bit, yes. My quest has been going on for a while and I always have more ideas, but I can't really do two at the same time or switch off from one to another. So I'll finish my current quest and then move on when it's done. I do have a lot of ideas and until then I just collect pictures, take notes and generally try to remain inspired for when that time comes.

Honestly the subject matter of a quest isn't what makes it fun for the writer.

If you think you'll enjoy wizards more than guns go for it, but really enjoying your own writing comes down to
>the quality of character interactions
>the fun of writing action scenes
>the joy of having plots go where you want
>the joy of derailing everything

And with IDs, it doesn't take much beyond Ctrl+f to find out if they're a QM

So? It's the principle of the matter. Even if IDs mean nobody is truly anonymous in any given thread wearing a name or a trip is just cancerous. Because unlike an ID, an name or trip last beyond an given thread. It's not nearly so transient an identity.

I'm starting a new quest called Warlock Quest! It might just be a one-shot, but it could evolve into something else! If you're interested please come check it out over here >>708157

In a world very much like our own, there are dark things lurking just beneath the surface. Are you a bad enough guy to master the unknown and bend reality to your will?

>>708196
>Because unlike an ID, an name or trip last beyond an given thread. It's not nearly so transient an identity
Yeah? And? Doesn't stop me or anybody else from talking to QMs once they've used their trip, regardless of whether they have it on or not

If Planefag popped in, wouldn't stop us from talking to Planefag whether or not he has his trip on

>>708217
Go back to having throat cancer, XS :^)

>>708239
My point is when you shitpost the hell out of a thread your ID vanishes the moment you stop posting. As a QM if you toss on a trip and start some shit or get boots blasted people are going to remember that. It's a PR thing, you don't want drama from the /qtg/ clogging up your actual quest.

>>708269
>you don't want drama from the /qtg/ clogging up your actual quest
Then why not let QMs decide that for themselves? They're mature as can be for 4chan, they can handle it

That's debatable.

>>708217
Just take the trip off, idiot. It's not that difficult.

>>708148
This is a general for /qst/, yes?

A general is for discussion about the board. A QM is a part of the board as they hold threads of their own and each of their threads is the very thing that makes up this board so discussing the board is to discuss the threads within.

No, the question does not have to exactly name a specific quest or thread to have anyone to comment on the item. Having a name to go with the ideas identifies the person and it allows others to comment and discuss other threads made by the person who owns the name.

>>708269
>the /qtg/ clogging up your actual quest.
That is why the /qtg/ was made. To discuss things about quests and share opinions that does not exactly hold a single quest/ thread then again it can which is only helpful for those who trip so they can have conversation OOC.

>shitpost

You claim to be against shitposting yet all I see from you is just that. You are the problem, not the ones who tripfag.

After much delays, Whirlpool Quest has updated is back in action...assuming I don't get dragged out for an afternoon family outing.

>>708406
waitwaitwait, you're making a serious reply.

....okay. I personally prefer that you keep your trip off unless you are specifically referring to your quest or as the QM of that quest, but whatever floats your boat.

>>708441
The /qtg/ is not your personal hugbox.

>>708441
>I personally prefer that you keep your trip off

You have your own opinion. You do as you wish but please do not interfere with others just on the basis that you dislike a specific thing they do/say. Just like the other guy, you can dislike a certain thing but it doesn't help the wider discussion and just feeds into the 'shitposting' so many of you claim to dislike.

>>708452
Exactly.

>>708406
>Having a name to go with the ideas identifies the person

Which is the antithesis of the idea of 4chan in how it has been used and pitched by the creator himself.

The ideas should not be attached to the names specifically because it colors the ideas with identity which distorts the true validity of the idea.

>>708406
>Having a name to go with the ideas identifies the person and it allows others to comment and discuss other threads made by the person who owns the name.
Why would you want this, faggot?

Look, I say this as a QM. We've had people who tripfagged the fuck outta the /qtg/ and with few exceptions they've crashed and burned. Trombone tooter, and various other nameless assholes who faded into the annals of history. It's just good form as a QM to keep your trip off outside your thread.

>>708519
>Trombone tooter
???

>>708529
Basically those who continually flaunt themselves.

Or he could be referring to someone I completely don't know about.

>>708519
It doesn't have to be negativity and shitposting though. I keep my trip off, but I don't have any problems with QMs leaving theirs on. It's a non-issue that a few whiny assholes blow way out of proportion. Aside from a few glaring examples, most QMs either keep to themselves or are at least reasonably civil.

>>708519
Was them crashing and burning directly a result of /qtg/ or just coincidence? By crashing and burning, did you mean /qtg/ drama shitpost their quests to nonexistence, their audience grew smaller, or they disappeared off the face of the Earth like most QMs?

>>708480
>>708519

I agree that being anonymous is the soul purpose of the website. The idea of /qst/ is to share stories that we are all a part of and we all own a bit of that story.

As I said, discussions on the /qtg/ pertain to the threads within the board. If you wish to not be identified by the name and be linked to your previous works that are fine but do not try to stop others if they wish to do otherwise. Throughout the entire website, no one is stopping you from using your real name so why try to stop others from using a fake name so they can identify themselves with ideas they hold throughout the entire board.

If you do or do not wish to use something to identify with it does not stop others from doing the opposite. There is no need for an argument about the person's identity and if they wish to express themselves as such a character.

The foundation of this argument is of an opinion that you can either be against or for, the same could be said with arguments about abortion or religion or any other silly thing we can fight about. They have definite sides that it doesn't matter to what you say it will not change a mind that is made up.

The only way to stop an argument that holds no facts is to not argue at all.

>>708541
>do not try to stop others if they wish to do otherwise

See the problem with this is that you're trying to police people voicing their opinion too now.

Calling people attention whore tripfags or telling them to fuck off for being as such in as innocuous comment as this >>707796 is just your standard insult.

It's the same as saying "fuck off, fag"

but nooooooo, the tripfags got all up in arms that they got told to fuck off and were correctly identified as tripfags.

You're the ones who started this gay ass argument because a good two to three of you couldn't handle being called what you are.

You're attention whores, plain and simple.

now fuck off tripfag.

How mad do you guys think players would be if a QM remade her/his quest from the start with a different main character? Then also add that said character wakes up with the meta knowledge of what happened in the dropped/failed quest as if it was all a dream?

>>708585
I just felt like shitposting at him. Also:

>now fuck off tripfag.
You first, dad.

>>708613
>I just felt like shitposting
>Pro-tripfag

Thanks for proving my point. You're literally the worst of the scum on this website and your shitty opinions coincide with your cancerous behavior.

Fuck off tripfag.

>>708606
Sounds pretty neat to me at least. Don't think anybody would be mad really, it'd be interesting to revisit things from both an in-character and meta perspective

>>708631
What are you doing this performance art piece exactly for, Trick?

>>708606
I think they would be quite fun but if none of your players had read the previous quest they would be confused.

>>708585
wouldn't all the things you said also go for you as well, other than starting the argument?

>police people
Would that make you the person who police the people who police the people?

>correctly identified
that's like calling a black person black. It's pretty obvious.

>>708613

>>708631
The speed at which you degrade is magnificent. He's not even a tripfag.

>>708613
>>708631
Also I'd like to point out the irony of these two posts.

One is anti-tripfag and trips.
The other is pro-tripfag and doesn't trip.

>>708631
Not sure if hypocrisy or next-level shitposting.

If you're serious, consider ending yourself. You'd be doing this community as a whole a favor.

>>708659
>Would that make you the person who police the people who police the people?

No it makes me the person calling out your hypocrisy and retardation, you attention whoring tripfag piece of shit retard.

I'd say you're degrading too but you started at rock bottom retard so there's really not much room for you to fall.

>>708667
After you, trip nigger. Although I guess you're worse than a trip nigger. You suck trip nigger cock. You're a like a barnacle on the underside of the SS TRIPFAG.

>>708606

I thought about doing this for a long time, but ultimately chose not to and went down the "Sequel disguised as a Soft-Reboot" road.

>>708700
Huh. I understand why you're anti-trip.

It's because you hate being called out on the retarded shit you do and you dislike the idea of it following you back to your quest.

Congratulations. You're retarded.

>>708632
>>708659
>>708701
Alright, thank you guys. Now comes the hardest part: Actually going through with it.

>>708700
>You suck trip nigger cock.
Not really. I'm more apathetic to the whole thing. But whatever man. Believe what you want. I don't trip because I like to avoid the drama, but I don't have any problems with people who do use trips.

Either way, I suppose if anyone is going to be hypocritical cancer on here, it would be you. Your entire presence here started as a leech from a failed quest.

>>708716
>Congratulations. You're retarded.
Nah, trying to shape himself up into being the next Planefag would be my guess

>>708716
He's actively shitposting with his trip on, and this isn't even the first time he's done this. Are you serious?

>It's because you hate being called out on the retarded shit you do and you dislike the idea of it following you back to your quest.
Hysterical

>>708737
>first time seeing Trick post

What happened to the mentality of shutting the fuck up until you know what you're saying?

>>708737
At least Planefag started his own quest instead of just kind of stealing someone else's.

Plus, regardless of my opinion, he has an expert-level collection of smug anime girls.

next QTG recommendation:
Everyone who responds to trick should search-by his trip in the archives to know what they're getting into.
also check out lost island quest it's a pretty good read

You're a shitposter who causes drama. You don't like to avoid drama. You jump right fucking into it. You're the hypocrite

>>708744

Planefag's quest is fan fiction, what do you mean he doesn't steal? I'm sorry does Velo own the concept of Isekai and A Song of Ice and Fire?

>>708750
I love all smugs.

>>708741
>>first time seeing Trick post
Dude, I'm aware this ain't the first time he's shitposted like this. I'm just guessing that he's trying to be another Planefag, who's another known shitposter.

>>708747
Newfags who don't know who Trick is should just be forced to suffer.

>>708756
You literally hijacked the corpse of Velo's quest, man. And I like to avoid drama based around trips if I can help it, hence why I haven't put my trip on. If you'd give me something worth discussing, I'd put effort into my posts: when I see shitposts, I respond with shitposts.

Either way, I don't really feel like arguing anymore. You win.

>>708774
Yeah, experience is a better teacher. And also they'll deserve it.

>>708779
Oh I get it.

You're Velo aren't you! The reason you can't put your trip on is because you gave it away like a bitch and then everyone forgot you.

Dude, you literally quit your quest out of frustration and no, i'm sorry, but you don't get to claim dibs on ASOIAF or the Isekai genre. But go be salty in the corner some more while your former fans suck my dick if you want.

He came in here around July/August I believe

You don't know what isekai is, do you? It's 'trapped in another world' you dolt. It's also ASOIAF so, no, not anime.

>>708802
As funny as it would be for me to be Velo, I'm not. I didn't find out about his quest imploding until people started talking about it in the /qtg/.

I don't really like the whole medieval/fantasy setting that much. I'm more of a sci-fi guy really. And I just think the isekai genre is a little overdone. But hey, more power to you.

My trip saved my marriage

I'm confused.

Are we talking about you or Trick?

You two are pretty much the same in my eyes.

A few months back, I let an somewhat popular quest that I inherited completely drop because I was too self-conscious and nervous to keep fucking writing. I feel like I still would be too nervous to keep going, even with encouragement. I just wanted someone that knew what they were doing to step forward and take the quest off my hands, but nobody stepped forward and everyoen I asked was too busy with their own quests.

I still feel like shit about the whole situation. What should I do?

>>708873
I'm obviously not the one who is being defended.

>Only thing Kov's run is a quest

Explains a lot desu

>>708876
yeah because you're obviously inexcusable. No one defends you because you're a stupid piece of shit.

I left it on in case any of my old posters is here. I don't want them to think I just disappeared from the internet without saying anything like a bunch of other QMs I've seen.

>>708895
It's probably because of my naivety, or my attempts at maintaining an inoffensive tone, or my tendency to use images from a specific source for reaction pics.

And damn, legacy captcha's getting obnoxioius

>>708875
If you enjoyed the quest, keep going.

If you didn't then don't.

>>708882
I didn't understand what you said until >>708889. It's mainly because of the broken English you wrote in.

I never claimed to have a great quest. And to correctly identify my quest, it was a hybrid. If you read it then you would have seen that it's not a just civ quest.

>>708883

No, you fucking faggot. Either it's a quest or it's a civ. Don't trigger me.

>>708933
I had two intertwined story lines going on. One was on a different scale than the other.

>>708933
I've seen quests that have civ elements in them but follow individual characters. I'm not sure if his quest is like that, but that would certainly be a mix of the two.

>>708945
Yeah, it was similar to that. In the 'civ' part it wasn't a 'Rome total war' type deal where you're some leader with a massive army.

There was also a traditional quest within the story. The idea was the players would play both the protagonist and the antagonist. The player would also decide for themselves which character was the protagonist and which was the antagonist.

>>708940
>>708945
>>708949
So it's a quest and not a civ.

>>708940
>>708945
I'd like to call those things "Commader Quests", like Jedi Lord Quest or Black Company Quest where small-scale and large-scale decisionshappen.

>legacy captchas doing it again

>>708953
>>708956
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I guess so. Got the idea mostly from a guy named Saurn118 who used the civ template but had a more personal character progression.

>>708933
Cyclops managed to have both.

>>709044
If it's a quest with civ features in it, it is a Quest. Doesn't matter how many poor examples you come up with, Quests =/= Civs.

>>709062
I see. So because you said so, that's the definition now. There can be absolutely no crossover whatsoever here. Who made you the definition master general of /qst/? Show me one place where the definitions of these things have been clearly defined and agreed upon for further use.

>>709108
I'm not going to spoonfeed you. It's super easy to find it in suptg with a single search.

>>709062
Ah well, either way, it was a collaborative experience between player and QM which is the main goal.

>>708862
And to correct this small problem.

I don't hate the anime quests, it's just they are usually based on another work that is usually obscure. Which is why I don't like most quests that aren't original content. Also most anime quests I've seen are a bit more light-hearted than what I would enjoy. It's not a bad thing it's only my preference.
