I am now craving a CYOA involving a healthy farmer's daughter. Thanks a lot, Anon.

>>47305616
That's not newer, that's low-res and glued together.

>>47305616
Do you know what was changed? Yes, I was hoping to avoid reading through them all.

>>47305672
>I was hoping to avoid reading through them all.
This is generally the sign of a CYOA with length and presentation problems.

>>47305768
I generally get too lazy to reread one that Ive already done once just to figure out what changed and what effects itll actually have. Doesnt really matter to me the size of the thing. Thats why I appreciate change logs.

>>47305768
No, it's a sign of the fact that people don't like re-reading shit they've already read before, especially not when they have to do so with a critical eye and not just for fun.

>>47305768
I've already read all the individual ones. I just wanted to know if the 'newer' version was >>47305666 , instead of going through skimming for details myself.

>>47305795
What I usually do is open the old version and the new version in two different tabs and switch between them quickly. Not perfect but it helps to find some of the differences.

>>47305795
>>47305803
If it's small and well formatted, changes are easy to spot. Not bashing, so pls no bully.
>>47305804
Fair enough.

>>47305856
I refuse to re-read even one page CYOA after I've already read them.

I never understood how Lilim work, specifically the aging. Does society not notice they barely age? Don't they have to go to school? Aren't their families pretty prominent?

>>47305952
You're a rich kid, you can be home tutored easily and effectively.

Your family is part of a demon 'conspiracy'. They can easily hire people to run public relations with humans, while openly interacting with other demons when those are around.

>>47305920
I not even sure what you're being smug about, unless you're just jobbing to turn me on again, which is very appreciated. Are you saying that effective presentation is mostly absent in CYOAs? Then I agree. If you think that a solid presentation can't do wonders for seeing important information at a glance, and therefore make it easy to see what was changed, then I disagree.

If you mean something else, then you're going to have to go ahead and tell me, because I don't know what it is.

>>47305976
So my life consists of being home tutored and being hidden from public like a bunch of vampires? That's pretty shit.

>>47306015
You effectively are a bunch of vampires, yes. Just like a sneaky Ventrue with his business dealings. Only you're not infertile, reliant on blood, or burnt by the sun, so hey.

>>47306015
aristocrats don't mingle with the plebs. you probably hang around with other nobs who understand such matters.

There's just not much point being a himedere demon "princess" if I can't act all superior around my human classmates. I'll have to drop that build then.

>>47306128
Well the Lilim, as far as their adventures in the city go, seem to be pushed towards actually interacting with normal people outside of their comfort zone, including other girls with powers. So you should be gathering a circle of friends to be himedere around.

Where does it say there's a restriction on the number of Auras you can take? I believe the spectral aura only refers to bonus ones. The Cyan stipulation only states that you can take one skill from each.

All of the auras are a single section, so you can either pick one Aura and get "sub-aura" 1-5 from that aura or take Aura 6 and get four "sub-auras" from the other auras, although you can't take "sub-aura" 1 for any of four.

You're saying that a CYOA not being small is a "problem", despite many people enjoying the fact that some CYOAs aren't small. That's bashing, m8.

I'm pretty sure they're saying that being long AND poorly presented is a problem. That's clearly not the same thing.

>>47306838
No, since the problem can obviously appear even in a very well-formatted CYOA. Rereading a lot of text just to spot a few changes, no matter how appealing the text is in itself, is going to be a chore.

>>47306838
If you want to get really technical, I was saying that being long and poorly presented /causes/ a problem. But close enough, I guess.
>>47306912
>obviously
If it's so obvious, why don't you go an show that.
>reading a lot of text
That's the point; with the right presentation you don't need to do this.
>presentation is purely about being appealing
Oh, you just don't know your asshole from a hole in a ground. My mistake, as you were.

>>47306985
>That's the point; with the right presentation you don't need to do this.
Yes you do. Some CYOAs need a lot of text because they have a lot of content. Because some of us LIKE a lot of content. How else do you expect to get all that info across? A linked youtube video?

You're either bashing CYOAs without honestly thinking the situation through, or you're an idiot.

The Ring, The Stones, The Quill

IF the Stones work on others, then there's really no need for the coin. I'd be rich off of backalley sex changes. Even if I limited my clientele to protect myself, I could make a killing on one-time applications to the Chaz Bonos and Bruce Jenners of the world. Plus, masturbation.

The Quill would be tremendously useful in all aspects and manners of life. It wouldn't hurt my business, and seeing as I'm currently on track to go into law, I'd be untouchable.

The Ring because who wants to risk cancer?

>>47306985
I get your feeling. Whenever I work with a new hotshot graphic designer, they're stuck in this feeling that text is "just that thing that comes in blocks, and all I can really do is change the font".

I find that explaining the concept of "graphical text" goes a long way to getting them to internalize the idea that design is more than being likeable; function is involved.

Did you forget to subtract the 6 points for your body? I can't figure out what you did.

>>47307148
Well, to be fair that's not really in a graphic designers wheelhouse - thought they are pretty well-placed to catch up. The only reason it ends up on their plate is that a lot of writers don't have the faintest idea about how to present information either, and the lead doesn't have time to micromanage everything.

Usually, how receptive a new GD is to concepts like that help me identify early which ones are going to keep gaining skills, and which ones are just good for piecemeal grunt work until someone better comes along.

I was only asking cause your build is essentially the same as mine was.

>>47307313
You can mix and match shared and separate punishments for each roommate. Whole room/four hour punishments are the same.

>>47307347

>>47307363
Yes.

>>47307381
Good, I'd have felt bad otherwise.

Also thanks for all the work you did on it.

>>47307343
Aha, so you're >>47306632. My build is essentially the same as it was when I first saw the CYOA more than a year ago.

>>47307404
Of course. I wouldn't have spent 200+ hours and countless revisions and versions on it if I didn't like the original.

That being said, I wonder what CYOA has spent the most time being developed/updated.

>>47307311
That's the thing, I don't dislike it particular. But it simply isn't objectively capable of the things you can do with the same content, of the same length, presented more effectively.

I didn't invent this problem; other people brought it up and I just explained it.

>>47306006
Primary: Wrath
Level 1: Mind of Violence
Level 2: Gluttony
Level 3: Envy, Gluttony

Secondary: Envy
Level 2: Wrath, Gluttony (Boon)

Tertiary: Gluttony

Curses: Unknown, Vampire Curse
Boons: Playing Favorites, Specialty Versatility

Affect one city, eh? Lucky for me, and unfortunately for the rest of the world, I live near Washington DC. A little while of using Gluttony and Envy to make the politicians boil over, and it shouldn't be too hard to get World War III started. Then from the ashes, well, guess who gets to rise up and become a warlord. I'll lead my soldiers to conquer as wide an area as I can reasonably control, then starve my people, terrorize them, and subjugate them, until they just can't take it anymore. Then when the dust settles, I'll travel somewhere else, and do it all over again. And again.

>>47307472
Maybe that traveller cyoa?

>>47307476
You didn't explain anything, you just misunderstood what the issue is and gave a lazy and unhelpful suggestion. In this context there is no such thing as a more effective way to present it. The amount of information is what's stopping someone from going through everything again on the off chance that they'll spot something new.

It's not a problem, it's a limitation of the medium. It's never going away, because it can't. If you want that much information, then you need that much text.

With metallic claws and bones, incredible toughness and even the ability to "escape death" 3 times per day I'm like Wolverine in little girl form even before considering the healing magic from the Life grimoire. I also have incredible speed (gotta go fast), plus some lightning powers. Not to mention enhanced grace, beauty, and elegance. Plus I have neuralyzer eye powers.

The false body cost me my ability to learn effectively, so naturally the first thing they did was replace it with magic via the Knowledge grimiore. I'm using the utility spell option but the CYOA says nothing about what spells are available so I'm just going to leave that open.

With the Life grimiore I'll be fighting those evils, or mostly their minions, as a sort of Majokko-lite. Not that I really NEED to with a 10,000 year lifespan naturally, but I'd certainly regret not having the option when I make it to 9,999. As a bonus, I get to age up to 12 immediately on my second birthday rather slowly over 90 years. I have a Fianna bodyguard who is more than willing to help with this.

While my speed and toughness are unmatched, my strength and magic leave my offense lacking, and I'm very weak to magic. I mostly intend to stay away from the more dangerous Evils unless I happen to have some backup. Maybe I'll team up with a Majokko at some point? As long as they don't decide I'm an enemy instead with my demonic heritage, I'd stand little chance against magic like that.

>>47307547
What? They seemed to understand the issue, and didn't suggest anything.

>the rest of your post
There's a difference between raw data and information, guy. Like, I get that we all have our strengths and weaknesses but you don't have to be an asshole when you don't understand something.

>>47307618
There's a hard limit to how little text you need when presenting a given amount of information in a CYOA.

Sure, you could now say that you can do it with symbols or some other clever way, but that doesn't change anything. Someone going through the CYOA to spot changes is still going to have to pay attention to all of that too.

So no, there is no way to get around it. That's the difference between a problem and a limitation.

>>47307656
I don't think anyone's arguing against using text, anon. Just using it intelligently. That's why things like tables and lists exist, and bolding certain words or making them a certain colour.

It's why we as humans invented the paragraph, the indent, diagrams and captions. I'm not really sure why this is so hard to accept for you.

I know of two pizza ones, and I know there was a mountain dew holy grail one several threads back but I can't find it.

>>47307704
No, the entire argument is about whether having a lot of information in a CYOA is a problem.

No matter what the efficiency of the presentation is, there is always going to be an amount of information that's so large it's going to become it tedious to go through again and again scanning for changes. That doesn't mean that kind of CYOA should be discouraged though, because some of us like it.

>>47307751
I don't know about Cambiare but personally, I liked Fianna at first but noped out of it the moment I saw the whole must be gay thing. I know it's not forcing you to actually do anything but it says you prefer your gender inherently. And I was going for one that doesn't force me to a girl too. As weird as it may sound. Forcing me to be a certain gender is something I could probably live with, but forcing my orientation is too far.

>>47307867

>>47305856
>If it's small

>>47307885
Cambiare is just some slice of life shit with very minor powers. The powers are focused on comfort and mundane use, so If you don't want to be awesome and you don't want to be immortal it's the choice for you.

Not many people are going to fit in that category.

>>47307885
>>47307935
The Fianna is just weaker than the big three. Powers are based on physical mutations so it gets a bit squicky too, and there's no immortality option either. Really just no reason to pick Fianna over the other options. Even Cambiare at least serves a purpose, even if it's one that not many people will want.

Going lesbo doesn't really bother me, it just doesn't really offer anything in return.

>>47307903
Being small or large isn't the problem, not being able to scan it is. You're linking the post that says it, explicitly.

Man, you just want to get mad about anything, don't you?

>>47307817
>>47307884

Ladies, Kukla, the main thing is we stop getting distracted by who can one-up who or kill the other and focus on what's important. Defeating the minions of evil so we can shove extra life-force down our friends throats and not have to outlive them.

Oh... and making the world a better place. I guess that's an unintended by-product.

>>47308015
You're doing it again.

There's a limit to how large a CYOA can be and still be easily scannable. That doesn't mean we don't appreciate and want CYOAs that are larger than that limit.

To give you a concrete example you can wrap your hard little head around, take stardust. It's a good example for this, since it's both very large and very well edited and present it. And yet, there's no way you could easily find a few changes in it without using some kind of tedious method like quickly altering two versions of the same images in your folder, which would in itself also take you a while to set up.

So no. Your solution is not a solution.

>>47307716
Vegetarian, Supreme, and Garlic Bread

Peperoni requires that I actually have skills worth mastering. Depending on how much skill is needed to begin with (does being able to grill a hamburger make you a master chef?) it might be an OK option, but I still don't get anything exceptional from it.

Meatlovers is tempting, but the combination of Vegetarian and Supreme covers that pretty handily.

The other 3 are all money, one way or another. Useful, but not something that can't be theoretically obtained without magical help.

too bad the best effects are on the most disgusting pizzas. It'll be hard to force that shit down, but definitely worth it.

Garlic bread is the best effect though. There are plenty of nifty fantasy techs, but the first thing that comes to mind is life extension/immortality, probably in the form of mind-upload.

Again, putting words into my mouth.

Photoshop isn't a very good solution for paint and canvas illustrations, but where it can be used? It's generally useful. A solution doesn't have to be an ultimate solution that solves everything forever to be useful.

Even a CYOA that is too long to be scanned can benefit from good presentation, so I'm not sure what your problem is.

This is a reminder to be cautious when using the prevalence of a choice to determine if it needs to be nerfed. Sometimes I just like a particular faction, equipment, whatever so I make like 16 builds with it before calming down and trying things in more normal amounts.

>>47308140
I'm fine sharing. But presumably there's a whole arc where we meet up, decide to work together - one Lilim claims she's better than us and doesn't need us slowing her down - slowly she defrosts, etc.

If someone finds a cure for cancer that only works on people under 6 feet, isn't that worthwhile? Does advocating that cure mean that you think that people over 6 feet should be hunted down, and either cut down to size or killed? No, I don't think it does.

Every CYOA can be worthwhile. Some techniques will work better or not at all depending on content, but shouldn't we use the methods we can, where we can?

Alright kids, last thread is dead so it's time to count up the polls.

In first place is the the option to never sleep at night, always knowing that someone is writing shitty yoai fan fiction about you, somewhere. In second and third are the 'oh god what the fuck is going on' options. Forth place goes to Offworld Obligations while fifth is the 'player' triggering Ae so hard it begins to punch itself in the face. Special shoutouts to the Woolie-hole effect, Shipping wars and general social incompetence.

>http://www.strawpoll.me/10203106
As for the worlds, in first place after a long hard battle is Space Opera, or Spess Opera, depending on how things pan out. In second the forest of the world Trees, in third we have Cyberpunk and fourth respectively a digital world. Special thanks to KILL SIX BILLION DEMONS, cape shit and Japanese games developer Hideo Kojima.

Breaking down the essentials of this build:

Female, enhanced features "built for sex". Android body and immortality.

Maxed out house, though the entertainment is a little lacking (I was thinking of spending the leftovers there but didn't get around to choosing). Since I'm an android who needs neither food nor sleep nor cleaning most of the house isn't actually necessary to me, but I figured I'd want to have it for either recreational purposes or entertaining after the show.

AI waifu. She can use the sexbot, my computer, the tentacles, or even interface directly with my android brain. Fun times, but I got to be careful how I design her. I'm looking at only slightly sexual and more fun and friendly. I figure I play video games with her and she makes sexual bets on the outcome (and keeps it fair/even, god knows an AI could easily win any game). More edging on a loss, release on a win that sort of thing.

Don't really care much about what I wear on the show, and I can't leave the house till it's over, so I got free points from that section.

Drugs are risky, forced sensitivity boost to the max could very well overwhelm me, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Fortunately I have an enhanced android brain so I don't think it will completely mind break me. Forced stamina boost (not high-concentration) is mostly just so I don't crumble instantly and can actually participate.

I don't really get off on humiliation and physical abuse, so I picked owners more geared towards sex.

Punishments are basically full-body forced stimulation, sometimes at random but usually at my owner's or AI's control, along with edging and denial until someone lets me cum. It's a good thing I don't have to sleep, because I probably wouldn't be able to. Of course I do have that chip that forces me to sleep if one of my owners wants to take advantage or force me to suffer nightmares, all things considered that may as well be free points.

>>47308796

>>47308782
Some autist saw an author include an animalistic race as one of the starting options, went ">furryshit", and preceded to sperg for the whole thread while everybody egged him on and argued about it. Nothing anybody should really care about at this point, but the author got asshurt apparently. Simply be vigilant of and ignore autism, as always.

>>47308856
Sexual orientation and romance can be different things, you know.

>>47308796
>>47304772

"You have an inherent preference for your own gender in romantic terms, this is despite any preference you had before. Whether you accept it or not you'll still feel ashamed and thus prefer to be sercretive and/or lie about it but you can choose to abstain entirely."

I mean sure, you can choose to live a lie, but orientation isn't a choice. Much like you, mods and OP, Fianna are always faggots.

>>47308833

Check the Motivations, specifically Motivation 1. It specifically says that it affects your romantic interests and sexual orientation. So that overrides the generic "likes people of the same sex" in the first part of the CYOA.

The best part is that the "motivation" section makes it all completely irrelevant anyway. Completely. It was just something to initially give it a unique strangeness I reckon, but I guess nobody ever actually reads the damned thing after the starting description.

>>47308964
I forgot, didn't reread it.

Fianna doesn't interest me because weak, gross mutation powers and no immortality. I feel like anyone who would want a fianna's powers is better off with a kukla or lilim, and anyone who wants a more comfortable non-immortal life is better off with a cambiare.

>>47307864
The only one I don't like is Kuudere. She's not horrible, but not as good as the others and I don't like travel AT ALL.

Deredere is a bit too energetic and Yandere is yandere, but I still like them. I wouldn't pick the harem mode because that's just too overwhelming. I think Dandere is probably my favorite but really I could go with any of the other 3 as well. Not sure about kamidere, she's nice but I'd probably bore her to tears.

All I could find is Version 1

>>47309313
Pretty much everything there is about it. Travel is basically spending a shitload of time doing nothing in order to get somewhere where I can have less fun then I can at home with more hassle. I find absolutely nothing enjoyable about visiting new places.

It's theoretically possible there could be some sort of event that's worth all that for me, but it's the event, not the purpose of going to someplace different. If the same event were local I would always be much happier.

>>47309353

Most up-to-date version.

>>47309402
It would eliminate the hassle, the time and money investment and the most of the associated difficulties of being somewhere new, but I wouldn't go just to be somewhere new.

I would go because there was something in that place that I wanted. Could be anything, maybe just a restaurant I want to try.

I don't care about the place, I ONLY care about what I do when I get there, and it needs to be worth going all the way there for, and then enduring things like "culture" and "new people" that pretty much just annoys me, it almost never is.

>>47309508
I guess we can't all be explorers.

>>47309557
What is there to explore? There's nothing new and unseen. If I want to see something I can find it on the internet and learn more there then I ever would actually going in person.

Drop me in an unexplored world CYOA style and I might travel a bit. I'd probably get bored with it after a while unless there was actually something worth finding though.

>>47309603
I think I can put it better this way...

The way I see it, I get more out of exploring a new video game than I do out of exploring France. That's basically all there is to it.

>>47309603
>There's nothing new and unseen.
To you, there is. It's not like there weren't already people living in Java or the New World, but it was new to the people going there.

There's a lot to experience in the physical world, no disrespect to the internet.

But like I said, we can't all be explorers. Some people are cut out for it and some have the bug bad, and some just... aren't that interested lol.

>>47309603
There's a big difference between seeing pictures and actually going somewhere, though. I mean, if you don't like it, you don't like it - but I'd fucking love traveling across the country with a sexy woman, getting to actually experience all the cool shit I just see behind screens for once.

>>47309673
If I can't meet women here I'm not going to meet them anywhere else either. I've been across half the country already (from Virginia to Texas), it's just headaches and hotel rooms to me.

>>47309705
>If I can't meet women here I'm not going to meet them anywhere else either.
See, if you had the knack for travel you'd know that just isn't true. I can get an out-of-towner a take-home date 3, 4, 5 points higher on the "out of 10" scale.

>>47309667
Seconded. If you or someone else has already been somewhere, the world is always changing at every level. Not even the most hiked trails remain unchanging: there's shit growing and dying 24/7. Speaking from my own experience, living in the same neighborhood for 20 years, I thought I witnessed all it had to offer, until I saw a couple of bobwhites for the first time. Even if the whole earth has been explored at some point or another, doesn't make your discovery any less meaningful.

To quote Heraclitus: "No same man could walk through the same river twice, as the man and the river have since changed."

>>47309836
Yeah, my take has always been that boredom isn't an extension of the world around you, it's a state of mind. Some people are always going to be kind of nonplussed in the face of all the cool opportunities around them.

>>47309921
As a child, I was never bored, and I honestly didn't know what it meant. Later as an adult I developed some anxiety that I won't get into, when I explained it to a friend they said "sounds like you're just bored". But for me, it felt more like "trapped". So part of me suspects that a lot of boredom is just misplaced fear and frustration at helplessness, and all that shit.

>>47309921
Its only getting worse. Even if people these days do notice the cool things and opportunities all around them the first thing that comes to their mind is to take a picture of the cool shit, splatter it all over every single social media site they frequent and in triplicate and then spend the majority of the time, reading and responding to all the comments, checking all the likes, reblogs, reposts and karma that it generates and get giddy as your E-peen increases.

Don't let on I can speak the languages (until it's time for a major miracle in front of a crowd, then "lose" the ability again). Make sure to set boundaries with companions early, but keep them close and respect them deeply. Take great interest in all goings on, secretly, but most of your edicts flow through them.

Increase the standing and influence of the Tarabin though generosity and hard work (mostly theirs), while preparing them for potential hardship (stockpiling, training, exchanging brides with friendly neighbors, etc).

Find an outlet for my violent and womanizing tendencies, wrap it in pseudo-religious terms involving secrecy, self-sacrifice, and chronically-avoided doom; make very clear there is no expectation of exclusivity, but that her place is a place of constant honor among the constant procession of others, who will come and go. Leave her a way out that ties up loose ends and ensures a replacement (or else if she feels trapped she will explode everything).

Strike while the iron is hot; spend the next year touring all of the major tribes in a kind of reverse-pilgrimage, solidifying your position and reminding people of your existence. Don't neglect Tarabin during this time. Try, oh try to keep the womanizing under control.

As to the end game... unification? Absconding with great wealth? No, I think the goal will be to worm myself into the culture of the region, to the point where people can't really remember what it was like before I came.

>>47308557
While I don't have a problem with furries I tend to always try and stay as human as possible in my CYOAs. So I would probably pass on this just for that.

>steppes warriors don't ride or shoot
What do you mean? The Mongols had plenty of horse archers.

If you mean they don't have a bonus to riding and shooting, they have a bonus to archery and I suppose I could add something for horseback riding.
>islanders get archery instead
They're the British, the British are famed for their longbowmen, and Espionage is an alternate form of stealth that rather than staying invisible is disguise based (like TF2 Cloak vs Disguise)

Time to bootstrap these people into a pre-industrial society. Though revered as a god my plan is to work with the Shirani in the fields, directing them in implementing advanced agricultural methods. The first few years should see a dramatic decrease in the number of people required to harvest the same amount of food leading to a much increased workforce. The Babar are also of interest to me in creating a civilization centered around productivity, though it seems they may be more specialized craftsmen than the laborers I envision. The Tarabin and Sikander need to be made a part of the plan as well; though my English blood boils with desire to Civilize these savages it seems more useful to integrate my technology with their pre-existing culture in a more natural way.

The Murad and Zadran are the tough ones. If the Zadran can't shape up and prove themselves to be useful members of society I may just be able to manipulate the Murad into long-term conflict with them, keeping both parties off my back for as long as possible.

After the agricultural improvements my focus will be on erecting public works and large monuments as proof of my technological knowledge. The knowledge of how to create these things will spread, of course, and hopefully with the increased food production the first generation born after my arrival can start to go through something resembling a formal education.

Zwelikude is just a top bloke in every way and Annie seems like a fun pick. Her character archetype is usually one of my favorites.

>>47310860
I don't know why I didn't see the +5 Archery for the Steppes people. Espionage makes sense too, though I would express it differently in the description.

I guess I just find it weird to juxtapose in my head Agincourt-era British with Nanking-era British.

Anyone keep the same characters in mind when making builds? I'm thinking of making cyoas that link other ones together. Do those exist already?

>>47311058
Highlander kinda does that

>>47308844
It has more to do with being able to pass the mental and magical requirements. That is, even if someone is badass they might not become a traveller because they simply don't have the right temporal make up or what not.

That said, the third world refugee was an educated and talented surgeon, because they don't just hire random schmucks.

>>47308510
The inclusion of Jon Jafari makes me wonder: who's the most useless member of the Travellers? Only having robot parrots does put you pretty high on that list.

>>47310812
Most people don't know who that is.

>>47310923
>Shirani
Really tempting, but too scary for me. Tempers and pressures rise and fall all the time, and all it would take is one good charge and it's cutting right into your powerbase. With the Tarabin the river serves as a sort of a passive deterrent, which gives people and situations time to cool down before they do something stupid. Agriculture also makes a lot of sense with this choice.
>Engineering
Again, jealous. But I couldn't bring myself to cut anything for it.

>Annie Harding
Useful and a lot of fun, but I feel like she would be a ton of trouble too. And the bit about leaving if things turn dull is terrible; it's always calmest before the storm, she's going to leave just in time for my enemies to swoop in and me left wondering where the hell she is.

Origin: Merchant
Ascension: Resemblance (easiest to maintain if your act is good)
Loyalists: Tarabin (a social tribe is a good start for spreading my godliness)
Skills:
- Diplomacy (for making deals)
- Leadership (for acting like a god)
- Religion (for learning how to be god)
- Trading (for making profitable deals)
- Public Speaking (for speaking like a god)
Perk: Quick Witted (for not making mistakes)
Companions:
- Kafu Nazar (risky, but can help with politics)
- Jubair Hadi (even more risky, but can help with publicity)

I do not necessarily need to be the strongest or smartest man in the room to be an effective leader, as I can surround himself with those who are. But as a god, I must have the ability to lead, command, and unite the tribes. This arrangement of skills and perks will give me an edge in not only proving I am the god they believe I am, but also actively improving the tribes as a god would.

If I look like a god, speak like a god, and think like a god, then for all intents and purposes, I am a god.

>>47311112
You gotta figure there's a dude in a comma somewhere who's gonna star child out at some point, but for the time being he's literally a vegetable.

>And all the varying levels of useless/usefull wankers Highlander's been adding for you people

It's like a Traveller is just the kind of person who will be in the right place at the right time, which might be the truth with all the time bullshit happening.

>>47308557
I can't into furries/beast people. I just cant.

I liked desert soldier btw. You just made the mistake of releasing it during the princess shitstorm that's been dominated the last 3-4 threads

>>47311167
Tarabin are an interesting choice but they just seemed too much like soft-handed pissants for my plan. I need workers and laborers to get stuff done as quickly as possible, plus I have to admit I sort of romanticize the idea of the Chosen One coming first to the humble, salt of the earth types.

And you're probably right about Annie, but ah well. I guess the best case scenario is she Han Solos her way back with a British rifleman company to save the day right at the end.

I will try and negotiate with the other tribes and, when necessary, conquer them. Edwin will ensure the populous is healthy and my own knowledge on agriculture will boost crop production and sales, granting more power. I will try to be peaceful, yet with my greed, you can never know.

Soda, vegetarian, pepperoni

Seriously pepperoni is OP. I can seduce or convince anyone, earn like 7 doctorates, go big in art, pollitics and shit, make a ton of money, make cool cyoas for free, design a butload of games, defend myself from any assailant or even military intervention, fix and make a lot of shit, and go survive in the wilderness alone if needed just by taking it. I'm sure there are people able to do much more.

Change it to three skills of your choosing, or to make it more interesting, one art, one science, one discipline, one other area of knowledge, and one skill.

And vegetarian just for the lifespan increase.

Soda is pretty obvious, if you don't pick it, is like asking neckbeard karma to come knocking at your door.

I uploaded this to reddit for you.

>>47311666
Lol, Germans aren't people!

The worst part about /pol/ jokes? They're boring.

Fellow browsers of /cyoag/, I am at a bit of an impasse; I seek to make my first cyoa, yet I have several ideas on what to make. Tell me, which of the following would be the best to complete first:
Energy cyoa (40% done)
Four Horsemen cyoa
A cyoa where you receive powers, yet each power comes at a price.
Another seven sins/virtues cyoa (will try to make it unique).

If you need more information, just let me know.

>>47311830
Garlic bread is the only option. Gotta have that fantasy/future tech.

>>47312005
>Energy
this doesn't tell me much. elaborate.

if you refuse, I vote powers.

>>47307716
Pepperoni, Supreme, Garlic Bread.
Comfy life? How about being the World Minister of Sufficiently Advanced Technology instead?

>>47312016
Garlic bread is so good, when I first did the CYOA I forgot to pick my two slices.

>>47311846
Fuck, my Internet has shat the bed. Anyone else want to post the rest? I can't even into Captcha properly, stupid shit won't load or stay loaded long enough to upload anything.

>>47312042
I would gladly trade both slices for the Garlic Bread.

>>47312005
Energy.

>>47312005
Either Energy or Powers.

>>47312024
The basis behind it is simple; chose a source of energy, you get to feed off of that source. Feeding puts the energy in a reserve that you can access at any time to remove the need to sleep or to utilize various powers.

>>47312005
What's an Energy CYOA?

>>47312049
Don't post a CYOA just to bother people and maybe people will help you. I have no problem with it being posted, people that whine about popular CYOA are children, it's just that it's not okay to try and use good content to spite them, because that'll just cast a dark shadow on it.

>>47312094
Then my Powers vote is locked in.

>>47307134
Root Beer. Not only is this the drink I'd probably choose if I didn't have any idea what the powers were, but mastery of time is far better than any of the more mundane gifts.

>>47307159
I went with flan as my first pick, but now I have to pick something else, because being stuck as a child forever sounds hellish. I think I'll go with brownie - I'm not much of a looker, and it'd be nice to get more positive reactions from the world.

>>47307716
Pepperoni is so OP it isn't funny. It's like taking Supreme (unless you're so much of a frog you don't have any charisma or ability to persuade people) but better, and lets you earn more than enough for Hawaiian, Margherita, and non-silly uses of Big Cheese. Take it with Vegetarian and you probably won't even need Meatlovers.

I'll take Garlic Bread as my side, because fuck yeah, flying cities and lightning guns. I mean, there's a lot of new skills Pepperoni won't get me, but I can still probably use what I know to pick them up or get by on being a master of damn near everything I've tried a couple of times.

>>47312096
I think they were just being facetious, no need to bear down on them with righteous fury or anything.

>>47312095

>>47312004
No, the worst part about /pol/ jokes is that the people telling them think they're genuinely funny.

>>47312129
Yeah I know I posted it like a few seconds after you and didn't see it.

That seems like a neat CYOA, finish it matey.

>>47312049
Nope. I like the CYOA, but give it a rest. Don't burn us out on it.

>>47312142
I disagree. I wouldn't mind the tellers thinking they were genuinely funny if they actually were funny and not boring.

>>47312159
Thanks for the compliment, would you like to see a part of what I have so far?

>>47312049
From now on, maybe we should just post the link to the drive's folder of Revival. The CYOA's too big to reasonably post it.

Speaking of Royal Revival, I just noticed a typo on page 7 of what I'm pretty sure was the updated version.

Under Survival, "With stealth, your camps will leave to tracks." should be "With stealth your camps will leave no tracks." T to n and should probably remove that comma as well.

Just a small thing to throw in if you ever do make an update!

>>47312181
Yeah, sounds pretty cool and I don't mind WIP being posted.

>>47312207
It's text only right now, but I will find out how to make it an image soon enough.

Electricity: The force of both the storms and technology now flow through you. Upon touching any source of electricity (outlets, laptops, generators, lightning, etc) you can recharge and invigorate yourself. With some training, you will no longer need to touch the source to drain it. So long as you are draining from a source you do not need to sleep. In fact, an hour of charging on a standard outlet will completely remove the need to sleep. You will have access several powers, such as hurling lightning bolts, a stream of pure electricity, and charging electrical devices. While you may discover further applications of your powers in the future, it might take years of training and even then, there are certain limits on what you can do (nothing near Cole MacGrath levels of power). In addition, your have a limited capacity, though it can be expanded with training. Overcharging will cause the occasional stray bolt to destroy anything nearby, and will slightly magnetize you, causing static on any nearby screens. Higher charges increase the potency and range of these abilities. On the other hand, undercharging is dangerous in its own way. Should you run out of electricity, you will feel drained and become a sort of vacuum for electricity; any devices that run on the stuff will be drained, whether you like it or not, filing your reserves. Should you go a week without any electrical contact, a lightning bolt will strike right on you, recharging you instantly. You won’t be harmed, but that can’t be said about your belongings, house, or anyone within a couple of meters of you.

Thoughts?

>>47312164
Yeah, but I've heard people tell dumb jokes in a way that was at entertaining, because they knew the joke was dumb and that was part of the humor. There's not much worse than someone who thinks their shitty joke is gold, though.

>>47312239
If you tell a dumb joke in a funny way, you've made it funny. Semantics, but whatever. We agree.

>>47312227
Interesting, I don't think I've seen a CYOA quite like that.

I really want to see the other choices, but you may want to hold it off to build the hype up.

>>47312282
I'll give you one more, but I think my wording on it needs to be improved.

Praise: Other people’s appreciation of you strengthens and empowers you, and you feel renewed with it. By getting another person to have positive thoughts about you, you gain a bit of energy. While simply thinking of you positively will grant a small channel of power as long as they still think that way, direct praise is much more potent. Helping an old lady cross the street will only grant enough for you to go another hour without rest, being recognized as an good Samaritan constantly in your community would grant you enough to go weeks without rest, and any direct praise you receive also has a scaling effect. In addition, any energy you have stored will allow you access to several abilities. This includes the generation of illusions, limited transmutation (water to wine, lead to gold, etc), and the ability to heal others through contact (or from a distance with enough power). These powers, however, require an astronomical amount of energy; even healing a single finger would take thousands of thank yous, and would still leave you drained afterwards. Though if you are active in the pursuit of praise and wind up as a celebrity or someone of similar praise, chances are there will be no shortage of energy. Should you go too long without praise, your mind will be clouded with the greatest of doubts and your self worth plummets.

There's something I've been noticing with some of the older CYOAs where one of the options available has to do with Masks and the Yellow King. The ones I know that have the option are this one, Empress, and that Guardian Angel CYOA.

Does anyone know when/why the Yellow King and Masks were popular options for CYOA's? Mostly just curious here.

Believe it or not, there was once a time that /tg/was known for this sort of thing.

>>47312875
Let's hope that the newcomers eventually realize why we opted for civility.

>>47312843
I know that much. I was just wondering when Hastur became so popular in the CYOA community. It just seems to be him in most of these CYOAs.

>>47312929
He's one of the most well known cthulhu-mythos baddies aside from cthulhu himself. He's also got a lot of associated symbolism, makes him really easy to hint at in a CYOA without making it explicit. That makes him an effective shorthand for when the author wants a really scary option but doesn't want to incorporate a whole mythos.

I'm sure that's where the idea came from anyway, and people saw it worked so they copied it.

Enhance Tarabin way of life, hopefuly providing diplomatic relations to Shirani, Sikander, and/or Murad. If Murad are my alies, I use Jubair and Zwelikude's war knowlege to overthrow Zadran.

Now that the Zadran are dead, I can use their lands to become wealthy beyond my wildest imagination.

Super sorry to those anons who hate wip posts, I swear on my liver this will be the last one.

So personally I'm pretty happy about the images I found, but I'm kind of worried that some of the art styles are clashing and throwing off the over all theme. So I was wondering if I could get a second opinion or two.

I'm also worried some of the pics might seem a little too lewd/fetishy, this is more paranoia then anything probably but still doesn't hurt to get second opinions.

Also I apologize in advance I'm really tired and was too lazy to do names for the second half of the characters. Also please forgive me if I pass out.

>>47312707
Take a look at cyoas, advertisements and things like webistes that you like the design of and then analyse those designs by looking at shapes, colors, spacing and negative spacing/shapes of things. Make a list of what you like/dislike about those things and then do a basic layout in a program like photoshop or gimp.

Use solid color shapes for where you'd put images and text blocks for where you'd put type. Mess around with colors till you're happy and drop an image or two in to see if you like the overall look. Post a wip and ask for feedback if needed.

Break the way a page looks down into component parts. Image frames, spacers, symbols/icons, text, background etc..

>>47313149
Yep, looks like shit. Looks like a few of them might be squished too.

Sorry, I don't like to shit on CYOAs, but you asked and you are right. "Clashing" is an understatement. Lots of low quality artifacting too.

I should also point out that the abrupt edge of the pictures on the background looks pretty bad as well.

>>47313149
The thing i find jarring is white/blank backgrounds vs scenic type backgrounds with the white far worse then the colored/patterned ones. Some of those images look squished.

Also your orc dood and the guy next to him stand out as they're in a far more realistic style then the anime style of everyone else.

>>47313322
Thanks for the input, truth be told the full resolution image was a few kb over the upload limit guess Ill just split it into two images so I can upload them at a higher quality

It's an improvement. Play with outlines/borders around the images so they blend better.

Could you eventually go into more detail on the forbidden courses you have to go to Ej Har, or whatever it's called, to take? Stuff like mind control potions and I'm assuming forbidden summons? If nothing else it's a fun bit of lore to make you CYOA more unique.

Welcome. Also gif? you can use a very low compression on a png to jpg and the quality will look much better then gif with a smaller file size, like the jpg being 95% uncompressed as a setting. Upload limit here should be 8 meg?

What he meant to say was
>I have a mind control fetish. Could you please write it out so I can jerk off?

I noticed a lot of LoL characters in the art.

When seeing artwork out of a videogame and other fiction that you know it might be a bit immersion breaking. I suggest swapping that out for at least something less people know about or at least a less important character or even better an Archetype in something less people know about if you find anything fitting.

You get one Level Three Power and three secondaries. (The things listen under each power.)
You get two Level Two Powers and the three secondaries for each.
You get three Level One Powers.

You did it wrong. Try again.

I can't believe that's a coincidence, so props to you for your amazing memory in digging out this old gem.

More of an interest than a fetish, but even if I did my point about making the CYOA more unique and interesting still stands.

Not everyone out there is as singular in their motivations as I am, anon.

Yea LoL is kinda of just an easy cop out for me (and many other authors considering how much I see ahri on here) I'll try and cut back on them. Truth be told I've already scrapped the ezreal and nidalee pictures and Im desperately looking for a new picture for Trap-Catcher
>>47313756
I've talked on this previously but each school will have small nuances on all the general classes taught, so for Ej Har you can pretty much expect to have something like that covered in their illusions or alchemy class, as for specific courses there's necromancy, assassination, blood magic, and unholy arts
>>47313740
yeah but I guess these are the sacrifices we make
>>47313712
Ill definitely try to mess with the borders, and yea I think I'm just going to get a new pic for Bathsheba
>>47313713
For Dax it's supposed to be water but that picture is giving me a lot of trouble so I'm probably going to change it
>>47313824
yea.. that should have been png not gif I'm not sure what happened, but the original png was something like 8.79mb so it wouldn't work that well anyways :/

You could use Dota 2 instead. :)

I don't see as much of it here.

what the fuck is proper spacing?
