So question. Does anyone know if a Druidism/Nature based CYOA exists?

If not, how about an Alchemist/Alchemy themed one? I've been on a real strong Mana Khemia kick lately

Alright, and now for the moment nobody was waiting for, I finished V2 of "Student President CYOA," which is hopefully the last one.

- Added more of...basically everything, but especially drawbacks. Also they're now worth 1 point instead of 2.

- Attempted to fix the layout, scrapped that new layout, then made another new layout. It's now marginally better than before, in the sense that death by stabbing is better than death by drowning.

-No really I apologize in advance. I'd keep working on it but honestly I sorta want to be done with it and it'd be a shame to not post it.

Sorry to repost stuff from last thread, but I just got to ask: how were we supposed to know any of the secrets for this one? This is completely unfair. There's nothing in the hints to clue you to any of those secrets. Am I missing something guys? Is this my problem or are the secrets just far too hard?

You're not. It's meant to feed the part of the human brain that enjoys gambling. I know, that's completely baffling and retarded, but that's brains for you.

>>48173268
Like so many other CYOAs, it ended up centralizing the CYOA too much and instituting a point tax. There's little challenge in a CYOA like that if you're permanently immortal, resulting in being spoiled for choice and never actually having to think about how things are going to work out. It turns the CYOA from an actual thought experiment into an exercise in making up ridiculous ploys that succeed only through the plot device of perfect immortality, and draws focus away from the actual themes.
If you want to pretend you're immortal, go ahead. You can't cheat in a CYOA unless you're playing a quest, you can only ignore the guidelines. It's a lot more rewarding in the end to follow the rules, and people are justified in laughing at those who have to make up their own rules in a power fantasy because they can't feel good otherwise, but it's your choice.

>>48173378
>>48173389
Normally I'd be inclined to agree with you, but the weird fact is that I was there when it was first posted and somehow people have actually guessed most of them. I honestly don't know how. Maybe it's like full of secret anime references or something I haven't caught on. IIRC, the only one nobody discovered was Meshara Brown's. All the others were practically agreed on by the time Harem Anon released the secrets.

>>48173405
That's /cyoag/ autists for you. It takes a combination of the ability to pick on extremely slight hints in the wording, knowledge of anime tropes and knowledge of how cyoa writers love the most to fuck you.

>>48173005
I'd prefer it kept to the notion of the original. That is, that even though it dealt with classic Christian themes, it was only loosely, and being a demon wasn't auto-lose, and nobody sided with God because he hates everyone equally, especially angels.

>>48173405
I remember that. Though if I remember correctly the cards were the only part that nobody had a decent clue on.

>>48173423
I was one of the guys who guessed the cards. It was kind of a "partially" thing. Some guys did guess the correct MEANING of the cards, symbolically speaking, but few of them guessed what the cards would actually do. Except for the Ace of Wands, which everybody thought would give you a younger Madame Lyubitchka (and is pretty much what you get).

>>48173399
I was actually talking about the extended immortality past present day, not the "absolutely cannot die". It's still referenced in the intro "based on your immortal perk selection"

>>48173418
I don't mind that, I just mean cut down on the pretentious purple prose and focus a bit more on the actual mechanics a bit more.

I know that's personal preference and all, but fuck reading the original hurt my brain.

>>48173378
>>48173389
>>48173395
The only thing I would say about it is that it's not very clear that the Tarot cards aren't choices in addition to the girls. I thought you were supposed to pick one girl and one card, which made it confusing.

>>48173399
That's silly. Why wouldn't you then just make people immortal by default? What's the point? To alter history then die? Kindof a wet blanket at that point.

Tell you what, why not just remark in a very small aside that it's completely possible to enact historical changes and advance the world to the point where agelessness-granting technology exists? Wouldn't that be the natural progression of things anyway? It's not like it's NOT going to happen -- it will eventually. What, are you going to then just tell the one doing the CYOA that they specifically can't partake in it?

Beatrice's secret is written all over her profile, I don't know what kind of moron you need to be to have no idea about it.
Dae Eun-Yeong is legit difficult, but people did guess it right back then so I'm assuming I'm missing something.
Samantha's secret is... really weird. I guess it's supposed to refer to some famous hentai VN or something, but in any case, even if you don't know what it is exactly it's kind of easy to guess the gist of it (i.e. something about her body is inclined to make things messy, and she overcompensates by being obsessed with cleanliness).
Many people caught to the fact that Tabitha is a monster-shifter-thing because of the focus on how she's never angry but is clearly bottling shit up. Bunch of people even outright said "giant monster", but I don't know how they reached that conclusion. My guess would've been a Werewolf: The Apocalypse garou due to the enviromentalism shtick.

Meshara's really hard.

He got rid of the immortality perks, but he added a Shape Shifting power. You should easily be able to shift into younger bodies whenever you feel like it, especially since you'll have thousands of years to perfect your skills.

Even without that, it's not like you drop dead the moment you lose your agelessness. You age like 100 times slower than a normal human, you're gonna be around for a long time.

>>48173259
Nice to see an update to this with more drawbacks and friends you can choose. As Rumors is 1pt now instead of 2 I added Temper to my build. Also the new year events are a nice addition. Thanks for posting this.

I did like the lined paper background of the original though the formatting on this one is nicer overall. Shame you didn't keep that background.

>>48173533
Shapeshifting age away is essentially wholesale banned from every CYOA in existence. It's the cheapest loophole.

And aging that slowly just means that I'm going to have to be an old fucking geezer for 100 times as long.

>>48173533
>You age like 100 times slower than a normal human

Not really seeing that anywhere, but I'm tired and blind.

Wouldn't Regeneration 3 serve to repair your telomeres, granting you a similar kind of ageless immortality?

>>48173556
How the fuck does Shapeshifting even fucking work if you can't shift age? Age is probably the simplest and easiest thing to change about your body, assuming you have magical morphing powers.

>>48173567
apparent age doesn't equal real age.

Now that you say it, I'm sure in that CYOA I'd take shapeshifting so I'd at least look like I'm young when I'm old, but I would still drop dead one day for no real reason.

>>people just go on the internet and tell lies

Don't remember which one, but there was actually a cyoa out there where the author said doing so was perfectly fine. There was another that specifically said it was perfectly okay as long as you bought a physical perk that was extremely cheap, like one or two points.

>>48173567
>How the fuck does Shapeshifting even fucking work if you can't shift age?

That's a great question, since the effects of aging are just the result of damage at the end of your chromosomes, which means most of your DNA. One would assume if you're changing shapes without limit after a time that you're changing chromosomes as well, otherwise it doesn't really explain how you're taking new and vastly different forms to begin with.

>>48173556

It's a permanent shifting ability that grows in strength and versatility over time, and you get millennia to practice it.

The author hasn't given his reasoning for removing the immortality perks yet, so until he shows up and says that he decided he hates immortality and wants everyone to die after they reach the current year, I'm assuming that Shapeshifting was intended to be a more elegant solution, as well as a way to get people to finally pick one of the supernatural perks that were being neglected in the last version.

>>48173576
Real age is physical age, physical age is an aspect of your body, and shapeshifting alters your body.

"Age" isn't some RPG stat that acts like a Doom counter and kills you when it reaches a certain number. It's the deterioration of your body's cells over time.

If shapeshifting isn't giving me the power to alter my cells, WHAT THE FUCK IS IT DOING?

No.

>>48173613

yeah, if there's some metaphysical component to aging in this cyoa, wouldn't you just die after a few decades in the past? What's so special about the agelessness granted by the cyoa compared to permanently shapeshifting your body into younger forms?

>>48173567
Like Mystique. Doesn't she age?

>>48173671
The boxes are just supposed to be a way to bring mementos with you into your rebooted life. They're not meant to be super useful, just a way to preserve things, or write notes to yourself so you don't forget the things you want to do differently.

Basically all you need in that cyoa is the pocket sized world. You are a god inside, functionally immortal, you can create anything, even earth if you wanted. Why would you ever leave?

>>48173715
who cares?

>>48173671
Because apparent age=/=actual age, and actual age is what kills you?

I don't see what's so counterintuitive about this, because, goddamn, people are trying to bring REALISM into a CYAO of all things.

>>48173676
If she does, it's because she's not changing herself on a genetic level, she's just changing her skin, flesh, and bone structure.

If shapeshifting lets you spoof DNA evidence, or become another animal altogether, then it's likely that, unless it's said otherwise, your chromosomes are changing to match what you're displaying on the outside. If it's not mentioned, then you're capable of, with practice, shapeshifting age away, if it is specifically barred even though you can turn into other creatures and spoof DNA evidence, then it's magic.

>>48173676

I was always operating under the assumption that she just aged to adulthood because she saw everyone else growing up and figured "why not?" Remember, she's a lot older than she looks, she's said herself she wasn't even born in the last century and thus is over 100 years old.

>>48173738
>she wasn't even born

I worded that wrong out of habit because I'm retarded, ignore the "even"

>>48173676
Mystique? No, or maybe not, she's over 100 though her exact age is unknown. Though a lot of mutants don't really seem to age either, like Destiny, one of Mystique's lovers is also over 100 and her power is precognition, not a bit to due with age.

>Because apparent age=/=actual age

This is correct.

>and actual age is what kills you

This is not. The reason we say people "die of old age" is because they've built up enough age-related issues that their body can no longer function. These age-related issues are brought on by aging, which as already stated, is nothing more than damage done to the telomeres at the end of your chromosomes, meaning new cells made from that particular cell reproduction are damaged in turn. Instead of a fully functioning cell, it's "chipped" or "cracked" so it only works at 95% instead of 100% at first. Then that cell splits, and the telomeres are damaged again, so the next two are 90%, so on and so fourth until damaged cells outnumber healthy cells and the next thing you know your organs aren't strong enough to get you through standard daily functions.

The boxes used to be completely unnoticeable to others unless they caught you stuffing something into it, now anyone that's less than neutral can pierce through the glamour hiding it, so basically anyone that thinks you''re hiding something can discover it. They were super useful in the old versions, now not so much.

>>48173676

It's also the only way to be truly immortal, since if you remain in the real world Heaven's going to collect your soul sooner or later.

Well, again, this is all in the vein of shapeshifters. If they can change their DNA, which they should be able to if they're taking inhuman forms, then whatever form they've taken is their "apparent age" and how long they've actually existed is their "actual age." Thus as long as they actually shift their forms, their "actual age" will never kill them as they can repair or replace the damage done to their cells themselves, especially if they've got some sort of regeneration on top of that. If they remained in any given form, even one based on how they originally looked, it would be their apparent age that kills them. Nobody really knows how a 1,000,000 year old person should look aside from "dead" after all.

For those with a single point left perhaps an option to a get a superior sword, shield, or piece of armor would be a cool choice to have. Maybe for more points you could get a gun with unlimited ammunitions? An unlimited supply of something small to throw? A lot of things you could do. Maybe add an option that instead of the Pocket Dimension you can get a more well off and hidden base in your local reality rather than one that isn't. Drawbacks still run on percentages instead of straight points incase you forgot to change it.

Fully upgraded Regeneration is functionally ageless immortality even if not intended that way. In the same way that a high regenerative factor makes a lot of bodily functions completely or almost completely self-sustaining. Take enough body upgrades and you'd live longer than normal anyhow. I only went so far back in time to watch the world change and so that it's easier to kill the browns. Also to maybe fuck up the first olympic games. That one is for me.

there might be some kind of metaphysical aspect that we can't do anything about, especially since being able to shapeshift into inhuman forms raises the question of how we can shift our brain/nervous system into something else and still retain our thoughts/memories/etc.

Still, until the author dictates otherwise I'm assuming that Shapeshifting for immortality is valid.

>Removed Immortality Upgrades, improved base immortality somewhat
As some have already stated, removing the "ageless forever" is a heavy nerf, unless you clarify that it's attainable via some other given option or options, such as Shapeshifting (by way of shifting your DNA and such), Regeneration (regenerate those telomeres to remain young), and/or Non-Reactor (aging-induced degradation, while a natural bodily function, is essentially unhealthy).

Until you explicitly clarify matters, I'm going to go ahead and assume one (or more, but especially the last one) of those is enough to counter aging indefinitely.

Alex Mercer build is go.
Mutagen: Natural Weapon 2 for free.
Athletic build
Cult Faction: Self Improvement 2 for free.
Drawbacks: Weakness, Memory Loss, Traitor(Ryan Elmore), Valuable, Hated, Body Guard. Bonus Points total 18.
Perks: Prime Subject, Expert, Safehouse.
Abilities (total points 43): Natural Weapon 3, Self Improvement 3, Inheritable 1, Strength 3, Agility 3, Endurance 2, Durability 3, Enhanced senses 3, Reflexes 2, Immunity 2, Self Healing 3, Social enhancement 1, Predator 3, Shapeshift 3, Adaptability 3, Mental 2, Unarmed Mastery 2, Infection 3, Mind Reading 2.
Enemies: Fiona Dawley, John York, Bubbles. I will get two more perks and another ally, Perks will be Charisma and Signing Bonus.
Allies (4 total): Lindsey Reyes, Alex Keller (as he paid for me to be his Body Guard from the cult, also got the Signing Bonus from him), Aaron Moore chill dude I met at the bar down the road from my safe house, and the scientist that helps me Yuito Kataoka. >Alex Mercer is the pseudonym I go by when I do my cults busy work (and the target for Fiona Dawley and the general publics hatred, god bless my perfect shape shifting abilities), when I am not at Keller's place guarding him from the competitors he pissed off getting into the cult. Lindsey was apparently my girlfriend before my memory restarted and now she lives with me, Yuito is my co worker for when we experiment on the mutagen formula the higher ups had made for something. Haven't been told what and apparently they want to start a small Disaster and they want me around for deployment for if/when shit hits the fan. Then I get to be the hero that makes Zombies to kill and eat other zombies.

>>48174877
John York talked Ryan into working with him to stop the Disaster from taking place(fat lot of good they will do against me, even if they have a mob of people in their own militia to follow them around), and Bubbles just wants vengeance for being replace by his better more organic counter part, his total group is a bunch of losers trying to fight in the city for control. Time to go to work, looks like its Raccoon city, weird name but I get to fight cyber animals, zombies, and a small army. This is going to be fun. Back story done, how did I do?

>>48174949
Actually now that I think about it, I will switch out Aaron Moore with Jim Boyce. He sounds more fun in this situation. Yuito and Alex are both on site running the data while I handle security, Lindsey is at the Safe House providing tech support where she is safe. If anyone wanted to know.

>>48172911
Objectively speaking, the three best objects would be, in order:
>The Quill
Essentially amounts to mind control to anyone that isn't blind. Highly useful.
>The Ring
Immunity to disease is great. Eat all you want without getting coronary artery disease, drink all you want without destroying your liver.
>The Key
Any lock.

Any

Not to mention the additional mind reading if the Quill happens to fail.

>>48172973
There's literally a druid CYOA.

>>48174188
This CYOA did have a bunch of shitstorms though. Mostly in anticipation of it being terrible, though. On release a lot of people weren't happy but it didn't explode.

>>48173820
>>48173833
I remember trying to make a build for this CYOA but completely dropping it when I rolled the shitty Deep Lungs power. It's completely worthless. There's nothing and nobody in the ocean so why would you want such a power? And it has the largest drawback of any of them, since it eliminates your ability to speak which is one of the single most important skills a human can have.

>>48172609
>>48172783
>My biggest complaints for the alpha build:
>1. Powers suck.
>2. Body Upgrades
>3. Mental category sparse

Thank you for both versions of your build, and the feedback. For powers, I do intend to add more options and tweak them, and I'll see about adding some fast travel methods (besides using your warehouse variable entrance, which will accomplish the same thing). BUT, it is intentionally the case that while you can be a remarkably powerful person, you can not become a "one-man army". I'll see what tweaks I can make while still keeping true to this principle.

Body upgrades I am to simplify if I can a bit, but I don't want to make it the case that everyone just buys invulnerability from everything. It needs to be a difficult decision. Though, tweaks are still being made.

You're definitely right about the mental category being sparse; something I'm working on, too.

Thank you sincerely for the feedback.


>>48172900
Thanks for the build! Sounds like a good potential use of shapeshifting. One clarification: you can choose any time or place that you like; the listed ones are just possible suggestions to give the choice more character, but if you want to start in 2005, or whatever, you can. The advantage to going back further is first, you have a longer span or agelessness (since regardless it lasts to the present day), and two, you have more time to master your abilities/alter history.

>>48173037
There are three items already; will add more if I have a good idea or get a good suggestion.

Preset companions, nah; that would just clutter the page. It's the history of the world; until you start fucking with things all the people from that history are there. If you want to go back to a time period and befriend Napolean, or Alexander the Great, or whatever, you don't need me to list off all the great figures of history to do so. Thanks for the suggestions.

>>48173136
Thanks for the build; good to see several powers.

Basically my answer has been stated. The CYOA was not meant to be about immortality for immortality's sake. You're already going to live for 17,000 years if you like; if that's not enough to advance technology to the point where physical bodies become a non-issue, then what's the point?

I removed the option to save space and because, frankly, it's a *boring* category.

>>48173464
>>48173490
To emphasize what the second poster said, yes, you get free knowledge of everything you need to function wherever you are dropped in. Secondly, because this seems to be a point of confusion, the listed times are just possible suggestions. I will expand it eventually, but you are always free to pick ANY time in the given timeframe, and any place.

>>48173866
I'll consider some tiny "leftovers", thanks for the idea.
And that's a good point about regeneration; it's not that I mind the idea of people becoming immortal, but if there is an option that *everyone* takes, then that's boring. I'll see what can be done.

>>48173613
Repairing damaged telomeres is too fine a level of shapeshifting for you. So you can keep changing your body, but your cells will continue to break down until there aren't enough cells left to maintain biological functionality.

>>48175176
It took us 500,000 to get where we are now, though.

Thanks! Very helpful!

>>48174551
Assume that if you like; I don't really care. Again, it's not about stopping people from being immortal if they have a boner on for that, it's about removing boring stuff from the CYOA.

>>48175176
>save space
You have infinite space.

>Boring
Most would disagree.

>>48175194
There's a large chunk of this thread that only cares about a CYOA if they can get immortal. That's not a boring thing for them.

Exponential growth is a thing. Even if you elect not to advance human innovation yourself (and one of the nice things about this change is that it makes the drawback to not be able to advance it actually a drawback), then you still have a good 5000+ years AFTER the present day.

The only thing that could kill me is a differently abled, muslim, black, large obese, differently mentally abled supersoldierette.

>>48175194
>removing boring stuff from the CYOA
If you want to remove boring choices from the "what do I spend points on" equation, the (possibly only) way to do it that doesn't alienate the people that consider the boring choice to be always essential is to make the boring thing free. If you tack it onto some other option, it'll just cause _that_ option to be the new "boring" choice.

>>48175195
>>48175210
It's not immortality that is boring, it's everyone buying an option that says "you're immortal forevers" that's boring. It's not creative or interesting in the build.

Handwave it if you like; this is not about trying to be some authoritarian figure saying "no, you can't be immortal!" If people are only doing the CYOA because there is an easy-grab immortal forever option, then I'm fine with losing them, because that means they aren't really interested in the changing history aspect (which is, frankly, the reason I made this CYOA).

I understand that not everyone is going to care about what I do, and I'm not going to try to "force" people into changing the world, but neither will I bloat the CYOA with sections that hold no interest to me. *shrug*

>>48175249
It's at the top of this one you fat retard.

>>48174188
Are you shitting me? It was chaos when this thing was released.

>>48175252
>People like a choice
>So I'm going to remove it
I don't get your logic. That's pure stupidity.

And people can't give themselves a power that's not in your CYOA. At that point there's zero reason to be playing a CYOA since you're wanking yourself to have anything you want.

>>48175252
>If people are only doing the CYOA because there is an easy-grab immortal forever option
I think it might be less "doing it because they can be immortal" and more "not doing it because they can't be immortal".

>>48175210
and there's a part of this community that won't play anything but a cyoa that caters specifically to their fetish.
Or will only play one if it's specifically about being a girl.
These people need to get their shit together. The author thinks getting immortality for more than 17k years is dumb, and so do I. If seventeen thousand years of life isn't enough for you, I really don't know what to say.

Alternatively, make one of those fancy meta-cyoas that let you be immortal/a girl/a tentaclemonster for free if it is this gamebreaking for you.

>>48175255
Don't fatshame me, you microdicked shit.

Shapeshift 3, Adaptability 3, Reflexes 2. You cant tell what I am because I am ALL THE GENDERS, ALL THE RACES, IT DONT MEAN SHIT BITCH, if I let you hit me and I survive(because I will with Durability 3) you wont be able to do it again because immunity bitch, and the most important fact, YOU CANT HIT ME!

>>48175224
Yup; so establish it. I'm not saying you're going to reach present day technology overnight, but there is no doubt that you can vastly accelerate human progress if you really wanted to.

>>48175238
Possibly; it's something I'll consider. I just *really* don't want to see a bunch of builds that boil down to "I don't care about history, so I start yesterday, and just use my points to buy immortality and all sorts of upgrades, treating this CYOA as just a random powers upgrade CYOA".

>>48175269
I don't really understand that, frankly. It's not like living for thousands of years is worse than NOT living for thousands of years, but I'm not going to lose a lot of sleep over it.

>>48175296
and I think that's fine. It's his cyoa, he can retcon an option he doesn't like. He can include an option that doesn't make sense if he wants it to be there.

>>48175315
>Establish it
You can't. Knowing something exists doesn't mean you know all the intricacies of the steps needed to reach the technology that, though a long lineage, will result in the technology you want. You are vastly underestimating the sheer difficulty here.

>>48175287
Yes, it's a stupid graph, and I shouldn't have grabbed the first one I found on image search. I admit my fault.

Do we actually need to argue about the fact of accelerating human progress, though?

>>48175325

Is there a more lazy way to try and deflect criticism? I mean really.

>>48175300
And might I add, I can kill you >>48175166
a lot quicker than you can kill me. My Kung Fu is better than you. Also claws, and other sharp objects I can push out of me at any given time. If I wanted to I can turn myself into a barely passable tranny and fuck you that way. I'd also be able to read your mind whenever I hit you, but I would only hear screaming crickets.

>>48175327
That's what the Book of Knowledge is for, if you want to be an uplifter, or the computer option as an alternative.

>>48175340
Then when the dust settles on my victory, I will make you my zombie minion. Or eat you if am hungry.

>>48175335
your criticism/argument for keeping an option the author doesn't enjoy is what? That you want free/cheap immortality and if the cyoa doesn't include it, it's shit?
I'd argue including that pocket dimension could be abused to completely miss the point of the cyoa, too, since you can go back as far as possible and chill in it rather than do stuff.

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of the pocket dimension, but I don't really mind it. It allows for the kind of player who wants to be a tourist of history, rather than a participant, traveling in comfort. Which, nothing wrong with that as far as I'm concerned; it's still a fun idea.

>Much feedback from many
I don't want to give the impression I'm brushing your input aside, because I'm not. The single most important thing to me in designing this is that it actually gives almost all players a reason to go back in time. Right now the immortality serves that purpose, but I'll put some thought into other ways that I might discourage builds that are just "start in the modern era, use this CYOA to grab powers", other than the limit on immortality.

Actually, you *can* shapeshift others. Or, at least give them the ability to shapeshift themselves. As specified, by paying twice the cost for any given power, you get the ability to grant it to anyone that touch (that you choose to).

Eh, my main fetish is a global change in sexual dynamics that would make the majority of people very submissive and a small minority extremely dominant. Cuntboys, femdom, bdsm, xenos, etc. are all just a flavour of the week.

I'd be more than happy if I could just enforce that mental change in humanity. 100 people born extremely submissive for every 1 dominant or something.

Oh, gods no man, that's an insane number of submissives! 10 to 1 is tolerable if they're well behaved, and you still need at least 2 switches to cope with emergencies and being overwhelmed taking care of that many submissives!

15 subs, 3 switches, and 2 dominants would be something that could be sustainable in a population ratio. Any more submissives than that, and your dominants would be overwhelmed.

1:10:100 ratio of alphas, betas and omegas. Omega's cant resist an order given to them by a beta or alpha. Betas can only resist an order given to them by an alpha in extreme circumstances. These personality traits become apparent during puberty which is usually a fun time and leads to extremely interesting changes in school dynamics.

Something like that?

>Ship of Theseus question: my powers are attached to my brain. How much of my brain am I allowed to augment with cybernetics until my powers vanish?

>>48175685
the entire conversation of the fetish summed up in one sentence. good job.

>>48175697
That's not true. Alphas are too busy having kids to manage things, the betas are outnumbered 10:1 so they don't manage anything either, and the omegas are all disgusting loners and neets, so even they can't do anything.

You've truly made a distopia. You monster.

>>48175697
Aren't omegas not taking orders from anyone? Living by themself as hermits?

>>48173849
Unless they gets stuck with Shit Writer Disease and dan slott starts writing their series.

>>48175697
Sounds like the downfall of human civilization. How do you educate these hormonal teenagers, exactly? Presumably you don't have enough alphas to make all the teachers alphas; maybe not even betas. Then you have students who learn they can give the teachers orders...

>>48175697
I'd say subs can resist orders only in extreme circumstances, switches can resist them but prefer not to, and doms can go wrestle or something if they have an argument.

>>48175729
You're focusing too much on the sexual aspect. At its base it's nothing more or less than a huge personality change. Omegas could be perfectly functional members of society they just couldn't be given any position that involves them giving orders to a beta or alpha. Consider alphas the CEO's, betas the managers, and omegas the workers. Although alphas and betas should be even rarer than the original 1:10:100 idea to make that work.

>>48175609
>100 people born extremely submissive for every 1 dominant
One, that's a horrible ratio. Unless you force the dominants to be whores, that's a lot of sexually frustrated people
Two, were you the guy who wanted to remove gender because "equality"? How is this equality?
You still have "gender" roles.

>>48175775
That's not how it works. Betas are closer to workers, omegas are outside the social structure by definition. They're the outcasts, complete failures, and criminals.

>>48175775
>perfectly functional members of society
Except any asshole alpha can tell them to kill themselves and they have to do it, they can't advance in their job and are forced into simple labor. Their only chance of survival is to stay at home with soundproof walls.
It's a good thing /d/ doesn't control the world

>>48175799
I shouldn't have used those words.

>>48175840
Why would an alpha tell an omega to kill himself/herself when they're naturally submissive and cannot thwart an alpha in any way.

I'm mostly interested in seeing how the world would turn out. It might be an absolute mess or an absolute utopia.

How about we make alphas and betas naturally protective and caring of omegas, while making omegas naturally addicted to alpha/beta headpats? Would that be more positive?

>>48175881
>I shouldn't have used those words.
mmmhmmm :^)

>>48175898
Now I want to use them even more.

What the fuck am I reading?

>>48175906
:^)

>>48175913
People using completely different definitions for words.

So how do we turn this thing into a cyoa? Ideas? Maybe a school setting just when those personality traits start awakening?

>>48175881
>Why would an alpha tell an omega to kill himself/herself when they're naturally submissive and cannot thwart an alpha in any way.
shit's and giggles. Why not do it? You have absolute control, no one can give you orders and there are no witnesses.
It's the ultimate display of control and power.
>It might be an absolute mess or an absolute utopia.
It would be a mess. You invented super-racism.
>Oh boy, I sure hope I don't grow up to be an omega and can't ever work as a leader, and have to live the rest of my life at the bottom of society, possibly being sexually abused all because I was unlucky. Oh yeah, and I will be completely okay with this after it has happened!
>Would it be more positive that the "alphas" aren't assholes?
Yes. But that's not your fetish, so why would you?

Would you be the "sexually dominant" or the "extremely submissive"?
If "sexually dominant", why would you wish the other thing on so many people when you wouldn't want it yourself?

>make society where 90% of male population are this guys
>somehow call that a success

>>48175952
Sounds more like a story.

>>48175952
Is this your idea of making the discussion cyoa related? Would you make the cyoa?
All I know is I'm not interested unless I can be an alpha, mostly because I don't want anyone to have the power to make me do anything. Mind controllers must be killed on sight.

>>48175969
>Yes. But that's not your fetish, so why would you?

Who says that's not my fetish?

>>48175995
>who says so?

>Omega's cant resist an order given to them by a beta or alpha. Betas can only resist an order given to them by an alpha in extreme circumstances.
>Eh, my main fetish is a global change in sexual dynamics that would make the majority of people very submissive and a small minority extremely dominant. Cuntboys, femdom, bdsm, xenos, etc. are all just a flavour of the week.

To me it sounds like your fetish is being an "alpha male" with a harem of "extremely submissive" boys (?). Femdom and bdsm, to me, does not sound like "the alpha cares deeply for the safety of his subs" nor the whole "omegas desire to please the alphas"
It might just be the result of spreading your thoughts over multiple posts

>>48175952
You'd need a lot more to it than just A/B/O choice; it'd mostly be window dressing on "You can only have two of a perfect waifu, large quantities of money, or extreme personal power".

>>48176038
If it's a world with clear cut social dynamics involving domination and submission it's my fetish. Always.

>>48176066
>I love dom/sub
And I'll ask again:

Would you be the "sexually dominant" or the "extremely submissive"?
If "sexually dominant", why would you wish the other thing on so many people when you wouldn't want it yourself?

>>48176096
What if anon is a switch and is cool with either outcome?

Someone remembers a shitty made CYOA with a lot of companions? IT was made by the same guy who attempted that arena thing (probably it was only companions? I don't even remember)

>>48176096
I'm not sure. I really enjoy thinking about it but am completely inexperienced. Maybe both?

>>48176124
Then I'd still prefer he answered rather than avoiding the question thrice.

I'd hate his world. I get the feeling his definition of "dominant" and "extremely submissive" means I'm never going to find any woman I'd want to date, and I'm forced to be an alpha male which is bound to put massive social pressure on how I am allowed to act.
0/10, not for me, would not enjoy.

>>48176327
I honestly don't get why people are so obsessed with Space Marines. They are superhuman in the worst possible way: being molded through genetic modifications and mind conditioning into leaving behind their humanity. Completely brainwashed into serving the Emperor too.

Why would anyone want to be a Space Marine?

>>48176631
Because they're also the best kind of space marine. Individually powerful enough to conquer planets with little trouble and with enough freedom and lack of oversight to disregard anything they don't like. I mean, look at everything the Blood Ravens do in the games. And keep doing. It's literally "whatever I want" across the entire galaxy, with a healthy booster shot of power ups.

Version 0.4

>Changelog:
*Prettified formatting a tiny bit.
*All supernatural powers split into a Minor and Major aspect, with the major starting at full mastery of the minor, and proceeding from there.
*Quests added! All three grant indefinite immortality of one kind or another. All are easier to complete the farther you go back in time.
* Items clarified slightly; Journal given auto-record option.
* Pressure Tolerance combined with Impervious.
* Breath combined with Endurance & Stamina. Renamed to just "Endurance"
* 'Strategist', 'Economist' added to Mental Upgrades
* Drawback points changed slightly
* Weapon option added to Items

I'm most excited here about the Quests, which should I think/hope resolve the immortality conflict in a way that is satisfactory for both me and most readers. All the Quests will grant immortality of some form, but they are all almost impossible to accomplish unless you go back a good distance in time.

Additionally, I'm working toward making the Body/Mind balance better; two Body powers were removed by combining them with others, and two Mind powers were added. Still not ideal, but better.

soon also other anons work like quiet

>>48176772
Well, this guy >>48175952 is working on something (How's it coming along btw?)
Other than that, I guess the only OC being made is the one you're working on.

>>48176876
Suggestion: add another quest for the anons who want to be evil. Ex, Root of Evil, which would require you to reign down terror on humanity and be acknowledged by almost every primary religion as the source of evil (Satan/Mara/Nidhogg) and feared as such by humanity. Maybe a more demonic verion of spirit singer could be given or required.

>>48177015
What would a more demonic version of spirit singer look like? What would it do? Could you only make contact with dickbag spirits, or only make deals that hurt people?

>>48177047
Instead of the spirits of the land and the ancestors, you could communicate with evil spirits or entities born out of humanity's darker desires and deeds maybe? The focus would be on hurting and cursing others rather than on guidance and protection.

>>48176890
I'm looking forward to Strife's next cyoa. The first page showed some serious potential.

>>48177015
>>48177047
>>48177089
Not interested in adding anything *explicitly* evil (it should be obvious enough that plenty of the things in the CYOA can be used to *do* evil)

However, that does give me the idea for a quest where the goal is to become a figure in X number of mythologies, perhaps taking on different roles. What that figure was would be up to the individual; could be a trickster god, a benevolent one, or a malevolent one.

Thanks.

>>48177127
You don't really have to add anything explicitly evil but some darker quests would be good. The current quests are all very do-goody.

>>48177157
Not sure about that. The God-Emperor one even explicitly says that you could be a ruthless overlord. The Sorcerer Supreme one is meant to be fairly neutral, too; I'll try to make that clearer in the wording.

>My name is Andrew and I was just kidnapped by some lunatics in black masks, they used something like chloroform on me and I passed out. When I came too I was on a operating table with a bunch of dead doctor looking motherfuckers around me and this crazy guy with an assault rifle(John York) pointed at me, before I could ask him what the fuck was going on he emptied his gun into my chest. After I fell off the table screaming and knocking it over on top of me, I stopped screaming long enough to wonder how none of the bullets went through my skin and killed me, apparently I was so quiet that the shooter thought I was dead and moved on. Too scared and freaked out by how the hell I survived I looked around the room before I risked going out where the guy left, I found some notes the docs had in the lab, turns out I was used in an illegal super soldier spin off program and I was their best product yet, as I scanned the notes I was surprised at how quick I was able to understand them. Figuring whatever they used on me improved my brain I also noticed some of the powers I was supposed to gain being mentioned. After some quick testing I figured out how to pull out some Claws, Blades, Whips among other natural weapons from my arms instantly. I didn't have a way to test some of the other things mentioned on the list properly, so I left the lab before anyone could notice me.

>>48177187

Continuing backstory
>On my way out I found I could sneak past the armed guys running around fighting in the compound extremely easily, on the way out I passed what looked like a green room with some guy in a suit I saw on tv being held at gunpoint by some mobster looking dude (Jim Boyce) before he notice me I rushed him and knocked him out. After talking to the guy, I now found out he was Alex Keller. He told me he was kidnapped so the knock off super soldiers program could get more funding, he had a briefcase of 5 mil to give me in return for working for him. Sense I had no idea how long I was gone I took his offer and escorted him out of the building, on the way out though we were spotted by some fat guy that was a star in the military super soldiers for some reason (Derek Hall), when he waddled over he demanded I release Alex and hand him over to him for rescue, after arguing for a few minuets saying I didn't capture him he demanded I hand him over anyways. Me and Alex told him to fuck off so he tried to start a fight with me after calling back up, I kicked his ass pretty quick and knocked him out (found out I knew Mutant Kung Fu), but Keller insisted we wait for the reinforcements to come anyways to clear any misunderstandings and to get a lift. When they showed up they got defensive of Derek they demanded to know what happened, after Keller explained the situation they gave me the stank eye, but let me come along on the way out from the terrorist attack from John York. When we made it out Alex Keller offered me a position in his company as a head security advisor. After completing the training for the positionin an afternoon thanks to my mental upgrades, Keller assisted me in finding a place to live close by the office, it also happened to be the one his adopted hacker Lindsey Reyes lived in so I could keep an eye on her too. After getting settled she called me over to show me a news report down by Fiona Dawley as she was interviewing Derek.Cont

Ooh, good thought, thanks, Anon.

Meanwhile, only updates to the attached are quests based on input given here. I added a fourth "Myth Maker" quest (which allows plenty of room for evil, if you are so inclined), slightly reduced the requirements for God King, tweaked the language for Sorcerer Supreme to sound more neutral in moral outlook, and finally gave all quests a variable method to extend immortality to others.

>cyoa turns you into a high IQ lazy piece of crap

That's no wish fulfillment. That's RL and it's terrible.

>>48177305
>>48176876
This, and the singularity might not even be possible.

>>48177558
Myth Maker has one less reward than other quests.
A Personal indefinite immortality
B Extra power or points
C Agelessness for companions

Myth Maker lacks B.

>>48177616
If it's the opinion of an anon that the singularity isn't possible, then I suspect they will not choose that quest. If they think it is, then they may.

We're not going to be able to prove who is right or wrong.

>>48177624
Oops! Good catch, and unintentional. I'll add in five points that can be applied toward anything that any of your myths were known for.

>>48177591
>cyoa turns you into a high IQ lazy piece of crap

You forgot that you will have magic rituals at your command.

Not to mention an aura that makes others lazy and at a high enough power essentially acts as anti energy.

And the fact that there are several other options you can choose from if this doesn't tickle your fancy.

And the fact that this particular option grants you immortality and respawning.

I'm just saying, there's more to it than being a lazy genius.

>>48177503
>The fat bastard was lying on life tv about how he beat me and rescued the billionaire. He also called me a murderous monster when found me holding Keller against his will. Disgusted with this I called Keller and he told me he would have me and him come on to the show next week to denounce his accusations and claim to my success. Keller also mentioned something about the mob guy named Jim Boyce I knocked out having put a hit on me, and that John York took the contract and that I would need to stay low until the interview was done. At this point with Lindsey's help we figured out how to activate my shape shifting powers. Problem was I had to leave my place for a while and York knew I could shape shift thanks to Jim telling him. Now I think he is stalking me while I try to avoid getting into accidents with my powers. Soon as the public find out I am not the monster Derek painted me out to be, the sooner York will loose public support for getting my head and the chance for Jim to get my corpse for research ends. After that I got a cushy desk job with a cool boss and a cute neighbor waiting for me back home. I also got some vacation time to use with a partner before work starts proper for me. Wonder if she will come with?
Back story done for comfyish build. How did I do?

>>48177558
I'd like it if the quests gave you some more power or a better form of immortality. Or maybe more difficult quests could do that. Currently the quests require you to live rather high-profile and make you THE target in an ever expanding world. Especially a Sorcerer Supreme runs the big risk of becoming obsolete through the advent of technology. While Singularity requires you to create an AI that will have humanity's best interest in mind which might go against yours.

>>48177591
>he actually thinks he's smart and "lazy"
Right.

>>48177727
IQ tested by my psychiatrist. Maybe "depressed" rather than "lazy" would be more correct.

>>48177758
so what's your iq?
I find the idea of the "lazy but aksjully genius!!" such a special snowflake trait.

>>48177694
I don't want the quests to make you into a true god; and I want to keep them relatively equal in difficulty and reward. However, I will consider boosting the rewards slightly in general.

Thanks for the feedback.

>>48177758
Does having a high IQ make you feel any better about yourself?

>>48177803
Clearly not or he wouldn't be depressed.

>>48177796
I scored 136. That test was also used to diagnose a concentration disorder, so technically I should take the test again with meds to discover my real score which would probably be a bit higher. Don't really give a shit though.

>>48177803
No. It just confirms that I was raised terribly and could have done a whole lot better if my parents were less retarded.

>>48177830
So how many more headpats and (you)s do you want before we stop gushing over your intelligence and laziness?

>>48177799
Yeah, I'm just afraid that as time passes we are bound to meet our end. The technology required to achieve Singularity for example would be more than capable of killing us even with Impervious III and Heat III and Regeneration III, etc. considering that certain contemporary nuclear weaponry might already put a dent into us.

Makes indefinite immortality less fun if we're staying around to watch ourselves become obsolete.

The average is by definition 100, so when you mention location you're forgetting that a series of tests done in an African country will also have the average at 100. That's just how it works, and unless we're talking about internet IQ tests which shouldn't be taken seriously anyway, that's the kind of test anon took.

>I'm pretty sure Xana was actually working for my dad and not the Necromancer.
Actually, she's working for you and herself. She encourages you not to release your father.

I am studying law but it's hell because I have no learning skills and am too socially awkward to attend my classes. So I open my books one week before my exam and barely pass/fail each class. Usually end up with 4 or so redos in august.

My parents think that's amazing because results are all that matters to them. They don't care at all that I don't have friends, social skills, hobbies or ambitions. Nope, just have to pass my classes in august and all is well.

We should be talking about cyoas and not about my crappy life though.

Given the context of "anon claims being lazy and a genius is hell", I don't believe 136 (without stating deviation or whatever it's called) is enough to warrant that claim.

Don't forget how in that ending she risks her life to give you a chance to do whatever you were planning to do with the skull.

>>48178510
Why would I not want to release my father and rule as his second in command?

>>48178555
Because you could instead keep him sealed and rule as number 1 with your demon waifu.

>>48177662
Too lazy to do rituals.
Aura makes everyone else too lazy to do my rituals for me.
Too lazy to pick any other option.
Immortality is good, too lazy to move once respawned.

>>48178555
Maybe you're a good person and don't want to be a demonic tyrant?

People would probably tend to worship something that speaks directly into their mind. With teleportation I can visit and maintain a presence throughout the world, and Commander + Stormsage makes major battles a joke even without all the physical perks.

Assassination is honestly unlikely with Major Telepathy, so most of the physical perks are probably unnecessary. As it stands now I probably can't be killed by anything but astronomical objects like supernovas and black holes.

Singularity is really the best quest for humanity overall. Getting to keep your powers and getting friendly AI makes it borderline utopia. I'm not picking it, however, because I found it too easy to complete and the rewards too great.

>>48178591
I don't remember the game all that well but is that an option? Doesn't most of your power come from your dad? Do you even have enough power of your own to conquer the world?

>>48178595
Nice one.

Anon did claim to have the test administered by a psychiatrist, whatever test they used, the deviation won't allow for twelve points in error, of which would be required for him not to be considered to have a genius-level IQ. The cutoff seems to be 125 for that, though there's no guarantee someone with an IQ of 125 will do anything to gain public recognition as a genius.

Such a FANTASTIC song....seems so slow to me..

>>48178529
Your life isn't shitty anon, you just perceive it as being shitty. Unfortunately nobody can help you if you refuse to help yourself.

I agree we should go back to cyoa discussion so we can drown out our existential nightmares with escapism.

Until the AI decides your existence is a detriment to mankind and "deletes" you. If that doesn't happen you'd soon lose your status as immortal godling when the AI starts producing more powerful android bodies than your own and digitalized telepathy and transportation become an everyday thing.

Technology is your enemy. Keep the masses feebleminded.

There are people who tested in the 200's who haven't done crap with their lives, or that guy who became a write for jay leno...he had over a 200 iq. Is it wasted writing jokes? Hawkings has what a 165 or 170?

>>48178609
Yes that's an option. Xana even pushes for it because your dad's a cunt.
