Okay, first attempt at missions. Put in numbers for mission points, weapons and some of the stage costs and finished the flavour text for a few.
Since I'm more of a writer than image editor, or number cruncher, I'll probably have to remake it several times, so feedback please.

Doesn't feel comfy at all to me. Feels like you're surrounded by crazy people and hostile beings hidden in the darkness. Don't understand how one can think the cyoa is comfy after reading the descrpitions of the cottage, the first inhabitant or the lady from the forest

What in the fuck is this place, some sort of hellish limbo? Silent Hill style?

A mystery, square box, the first inhabitant.

They won't mind if I go nude right? I mean, the windows go both ways so best give them a show as well. One advice from /x/ that always stuck with me: when you're scared just whip it out babe.

>a Hunter
>By the Swamp

There once was a Hunter who fell into a dream
He lived in a cottage down by the villagers' stream
Kind as they were, the Hunter was kinder
In this dream like a web spun by a spider
The Hunter he set out to set them all free
And none from his boundless generosity would flee
The Huntress he killed with a knife he had hid
The Eldest he burned, her home like a candle he lit
The Youngest he smothered until she breathed no more
The Watcher he clawed to pieces, his hands bloody and sore
The Voice he had poisoned, never again would she speak
The Lady he mocked, her friends were dead and she was weak
There once was a Hunter who fell into a dream
That dream he unraveled, seam to seam

I love making shitty poems. Good cyoa!

>>54971942
Well space said he wanted to hug me when I showed him the parts i already had written down.
So probably in a good way. Jesus it's depressing.

Seriously. First section of options is this:
"How do you deal?
Painkillers. Surely your emotional anguish will be quelled if you take away the physical pain. Grab another pill bottle, down the handfull. You don't need water, it doesn't hurt to swallaw a handfull of pills anymore. Even if it does, it doesn't matter. You can get over a painful throat.
Alcohol. Happiness is at the bottom of the bottle. That's what you said when you downed your last drink and the one before it. It's what you say now. It's what you'll say when you drink the next one, and when you resume your habit tomorrow. At least you're not driving since you never leave the house except for a refill.
Stronger drugs. A little prick and a squeeze of the ampule and you can temporarily go to happiness.
??? / Antidepressants. Depressed. Sure, let's call it that. You take the pills and make your psychiatrist happy. You tell them you feel better. You feel deader than ever before. Numb. You've tried stabbing your fingertips just to make sure you were alive, if only by the basic definition.
"

This is actually quite interesting, though there is no mauch in terms of options, you can take the most of them and only real choice is spouse and if you go with superior numbers of troops over your enemies or take challenge of raising 15k.

Yeah, that setting that's consistently about how ancient conduits were dickish evil gods
honestly, this level of co-operation between conduits is probably too much to ask for
also, the players are conduits, so they don't need to care about any shadow government if they don't want to

The perks are too specific. There's no underlying mechanic to any of the powers. You just get a thing that does a thing.
Also, neither had really strong worldbuilding to make up for it. They both build on interesting concepts to make worlds out of but don't reach their full potential.

It's a good attempt but I can't infer enough information to really give a shit about the dream, the wind, the fog, or what's inside the fog. I recommend adding to it in such a way that nothing is directly stated but does hint at what the fog is, what's inside it, what the dream is, what sort of entities the characters are, and what's wrong with the world in general.

>>54974445

Adding to this.
What's bad about Jötun's worldbuilding is that it has no connecting element. If you look at Thrallherd's world or even some fanworlds like Malsanis or Qlippoth you'll notice very strongly that there's an alternate set of natural laws going on and they're connected to what the perks are. Jötun mistakes giving the world a history for creating a cohesive setting like that.

The problem with black mist's worldbuilding is just that there isn't enough of it.

Since I only made a slayer build I guess I should do a normal build.

[40]
Immortal [40]
Physique Change [38]

No Background [38] We'll let my skills do the talking.

Noblebright [40] Just enough danger for a op adventurer to be able to claim his own territory.

Soulfeeder. Grinding may be slow but that doesnt really matter when you've got eternity .

Lets go for a magic swordsman build.

Class Knight

Combat Magic 1-3 [-7]
Melee 1-3 [-7]
Improved Healing [-1]
Fast Learner [-1]
Multiple Focus [-2]
Superb Affinity [-1]
Thats -19 for [21]

For magic, lets take all 3 conjuration levels and 1 level of elemental. Teleport and pocket space are incredibly useful and elemental works well with magic swordsman.
Thats -12 for [9]

Special Equipment: Medium Armor [3] made with Organic Materials [4] That is self repairing and has Presence [2] So it's kind of a weak armor to start but it grows with me and will repair itself anyways.
Thats 9 points so no points left.

Companions : Monster girls. Should be a decent starting party, and any children they may have should be much easier to teach them to obey me. Plus Divine Intuition. Let's say they're a support type. Smithing skills, craftmaster, extras, alchemy, cooking, enchanting, you know that kinda stuff.

Starting City: Saastal. Should be less dangerous than amben and orderward while still providing opportunities for hunting and opening up a smithy shop.

Perks: M-Serum for staying alive, Personal Spring, Lucky.

Housing: An apartment for now. Going to have to hunt to earn a place we can open a shop at.

Retry Drive: Good for making sure shit doesnt go down.

Goals: Settle uncharted lands. It's going to take a while but hey we've got all of eternity.

But what makes our original perception true to begin with? Red, yellow, green, blue... all these colours do not actually appear as we perceive them and are a fabrication. Hallucinations exist as do tricks of the mind where the cogs between our subconscious get caught and the only thing dividing them is causal consistency.

It shows that not only can our senses be trusted but not even our very minds. In fact the only thing that can save us is shiny metal hats.

>>54976661
Both of those arguments seem rather arbitrary to me.
People are changing things. Simply by living, we constantly change. We can, in fact, direct that change to some extent, at least as far as we can tell from our admittedly limited perspective.
So why would would I find something arbitrarily banal just because I did that same thing five or six thousand years ago, when I could instead find it arbitrarily fun, or nostalgic? Hell, I don't even remember what I was doing five years ago.

Now that I think about it, the word purple shows up a lot in my life. Yet now that I'm paying attention to it, purple does feel rather odd in my mouth.

> we assume by default everything we perceive is not fact
Of course, the burden would be in the person arguing that is a fact but, there is a difference between the default assumed state of not proved to holding that is not the case as a true.
The difference between
>I see no evidence of X so I can only assume no ~X for the moment
>Is the case that ~X is true beyond any doubt
In the second case the burden of proof is on you
>>54976868
A lot of people would argue that a priori knowledge is a thing, but without going there, how do you know nothing can be verified independently of our perception? Because something you got from your perception? Then it cannot be verified, Because something outside of your perception? Then the statement is untrue

How do you know that? You are informed by your existing conception of reality and it cannot be used to prove itself. Moreover what DO we want? Free will in the broadest sense doesn't exist, ...but I'm being pedantic.

Essentially it doesn't matter what is real or false, it doesn't matter if we change are perception and it doesn't make those changes any less real to US.

It's not wrong in the new timeline, so long as you don't bring back the you that did it. Else ways, it still happened to some degree, and is thus wrong to whatever that degree is, so long as you consider rape to be wrong.

That said, to what degree is it wrong?

I disagree. Retributive justice dictates that there must be punishment of unlawful behaviour for there to be justice. Even if there is no victim, even if the act has been undone, then still the perpetrator should be punished. The basic principles of justice themselves dictate that this punishment should take place. Sure, in such a situation no one would know of the crime and able to bring the perpetrator to justice but that doesn't change the fact that justice should take place.

Yes, there is a crime. Undoing the effects of your crime even when taken to its fullest extent aka time resetting, doesn't undo the fact that you commited a crime. Therefore justice demands you be punished.

The crime did take place. Justice is a universal value, a concept that transcends time and space. In an ideal world a divine force would punish those who try to evade their just punishments by time manipulation. In such a scenario, if such a force does not exist, then mankind will probably be able to punish them even though they should. It's mankind that is lacking. Not justice.

Your example concerning falsely convincing someone that he commited a crime does not make sense. He did not commit a crime so he shouldn't be punished. Justice doesn't care for his personal feelings.

Actually no, the main issue is that these images are being assembled without thinking of how the eye has to move across it.

Grouping should also be informed by this property.

That's not how it works, at least according to me. The moment he commited a crime he was, imagine it like that, marked for punishment. Even if he rewinds time he still carries that mark. Justice exist as a near-divine imperative outside of time and space. That no one could punish him is a flaw in the way the world works. Again, ideally an angel of justice would descend upon him and he would be punished because it is ludicrous to think one should evade punishment because he managed "to rewind time". Even more so because he'd still (fondly) remember the rape. Crime cannot be lucrative. Even if nothing else remains, the enjoyment he got out if it does. That alone is worthy of punishment.

There was an act. This is completely different from a thought. Imagine a space wizard raping your mom, impregnating your gf, and feeding your dog to alligators. Then he rewinds time so none of it happened. Do you really think he should not be punished? That one can let someone weasel his way out of just punishment through time manipulation? Even worse, imagine he doesn't rewind all his crimes just the ones for which he gets caught!

In such a setting one can only hope a form of time police exists to investigate and bring to light time crimes.

Anon, it effects the one who did it.
Imagining murdering someone is wrong, to a very small degree. Negligible, by most metrics, and even non-existent by some.
Vividly experiencing that murder would likely effect the theoretical killer more than simply imagining it, even if the theoretical victim is alive, well, and none the wiser.

That said, I'm not telling you it's just as bad as going out and raping someone, or even very bad at all. The degree of how "wrong" something is can only be determined by someone effected by something, after all, even if that effect is only having heard or thought about it.
>>
>>54977694
But it is just a thought. It didn't happen from MY perspective so if I was somehow aware of it, it would just be like his thoughts had been revealed to me. Besides emotions aren't rational, most people are of course going to want some kind of justice but that doesn't make it right.

Actually, there still remains some risk of abuse considering time wizards could "suicide" when they get caught which might just lead to infinite loops of crime.

I'm starting to think time wizardry should be banned in the name of justice.

Justice is nothing more than the fair and timely application of punishment dictated by positive law to a crime commited. If the law dictates that people who smell bad should get electrocuted then it justice for them to be electrocuted. Justice does not care for morality. The law is the law whatever it says. Justice is to apply it.

Whether this also includes natural law is a different debate.

This argument is particularly stupid as it depends entirely on how the fictional universe works.

In THIS universe, if you could rewind reality, it would be analogous to running a simulation. As if you lucid dreamed it in full detail.

In that fictional universe, it depends on whether there is some sort of magical Zeus immune to the time change that triggers on you doing something it doesn't like. Which can be anything, not just a 'crime'.

First of all, even an undone future can have effect, by virtue of the people/things that have undone it. Also, just because something doesn't have consequences doesn't mean it's not 'real'.
>>
>>54977933
Actually the dictionary admits both definitions
>>
>>54977925
The moment it was commited it broke a law therefore the perpetrator should be punished as dictated by the law active at that very moment.

Can you tell us why, if a person could imagine another person suffering, he or she should be prevented from imagining that?
If you have a dream of another personality suffering, are you responsible?
Is integration therapy for multiple personality disorder an act of murder? Since you're 'killing' another personality.

Your idea of morality is simply ignorant of the role of consequences. Without consequences, there can be no crime or judgement.
>>
>>54977993
So laws are omniscient? So how are there people committing crimes who are still at large? We should probably harness this omniscience to find out the answer to everything by setting laws like 'REALITY MUST EXPLAIN ITSELF TO ME.'
>>
>>54977961
It's not about physics. A single timeline, that can be changed, without a meta-timeline is paradoxical. It's a logical impossibility. It's impossible for humans to even think of a 'solution' that isn't self-contradicting.

This world is flawed. I simply explained how it would work in an ideal, fictional scenario. Also, the laws themselves wouldn't be omniscient or omnipitent. There'd simply exist an entity who records all transgressions of the law through time amd space. If mankind had access to this akeshic record, true justice could be achieved. You could punish a man at birth for the crimes he will commit later in life. How blissful that would be.

Memories can be fabricated, google false memories. Our mind edits our own memories every time we recall them and adding on delusions, brain damage and drugs can completely unravel our past in something unrecognisable.

i wonder who is behind this post

>>54978031
No, the problem is you not correctly reading what I wrote.
>if a person could imagine another person suffering, he or she should be prevented from imagining that
>If you have a dream of another personality suffering, are you responsible?
No sentient being is actually hurt, so it doesn't matter.

>Is integration therapy for multiple personality disorder an act of murder? Since you're 'killing' another personality.
This question isn't even related to what I've said.

>Your idea of morality is simply ignorant of the role of consequences. Without consequences, there can be no crime or judgement.
No, the consequences of hurting someone before rewinding time is hurting that person. If I rape you, but then delete your memory of it, does that have no consequences in your opinion?
>>
>>54978104
These memories are not fabricated though. In this scenario the memories are the direct result of the actions he commited. That they could have a different origin is irrelevant, we know in this example that they don't. Hence those actions still took place on some level.

It could not apply, but if it doesn't apply we can argue about it, it would be a pointless topic, the necessity for logic is not a limitation of reality but of human understanding. We can't talk about a circular square because WE can't talk about it, it goes beyond our ability to understand it. So we can only talk about thing that follow logic

Without harmful consequences perpetrated, what exactly would be the purpose of this 'punishment'?

That the person remembers doing something that did not happen is not reason for punishment.

These 'justice mongers' run the very slippery slope of declaring 'thought crimes'.

>If mankind had access to this akeshic record, true justice could be achieved. You could punish a man at birth for the crimes he will commit later in life. How blissful that would be.
but you wouldnt need to- if actions are predetermined then free will does not exist, any transgression is already commited irregardless of the transgressors will or choices- as is any punishment

existence becomes as meaningless as a ball rolling down a predetermined path

>Why does logic apply when something supernatural by definition, happens?
Unless you read some really bad fiction, supernatural stuff still adheres to the basic rules of logic.
Anyway, the point is, if you remove logic from the premise, the discussion becomes moot because there is no way to predict or judge anything in a world where logic doesn't work the same way. It's impossible for a human to imagine a scenario that includes a paradoxical premise.

>Besides we'd never touch or see the meta-timeline so it still wouldn't matter
It does, because it means that you hurt _real_ people, just ones that existed in the past of the meta-timeline.
>>
>>54978124
That is irrelevant. The akeshic record has a perfect recollection of all crimes commited past, future and present. How they are judged and punished, whether mitigating circumstances, etc. apply is a different matter to be dealt with by a fair judge. It would be even more ideal if an objective Law existed. If the akeshic record then held all transgressions to the one true Law. That would be an ideal world. No crime would go unjudged. Then again, we'd need the ultimate judge too. An entity capable of punishing all of existence for its objective crimes throughout all of time in a single moment of PURE IDEALIZED CONCEPTUAL JUSTICE that reverberates through time. I get excited just thinking about it.
>>
>>54978126
>No sentient being is actually hurt, so it doesn't matter.
According to you. 'According to "my cosmic justice TM" figments of your imagination are real, and you should be punished for hurting them.'

The problem is not my misunderstanding, but yours. Those questions are all related, because for the case in question, time was rewound to undo any wrong. There were no harmful consequences.

Your morality is not based on actual harm done, but temporary states, and thus it is not morality. You may as well jail a doctor for stabbing someone to perform surgery.
>>
>>54978143
Not exactly. There are many things the human mind can conceive of, but naturally language is a paltry form of communication. We can experience thoughts that are too nuanced to express or just impossible to describe without language evolving thousands of years with immense specificity. But you're essentially right, it would be pointless to argue about that.

But still. Unless other universes and specifically timelines, can be accessed then it doesn't matter. It is just a hypothetical.
>>
>>54978142
I forgot to include 'physical restoration' or whatever. So that the act has no consequences.
>>
>>54978144
Imagination time travel dude here.
I actually would argue no crime did occur, but that the perpetrator did harm themselves by engaging in the act.
That's a purely moral argument, though, and not a definition I would choose to force on another person.
>>
>>54978144
Punishment exists for the sake of punishment. You're basically arguing against the existence of victimless crimes. Get real.
>>
>>54978202
>But still. Unless other universes and specifically timelines, can be accessed then it doesn't matter. It is just a hypothetical.
The thing is, if you rewind time, you are basically the connection piece between the 'old' version of the timeline and the 'new' version. The old timeline where your acts existed, did exist, because otherwise you couldn't have undone it.
>>
>>54978187
>It does, because it means that you hurt _real_ people, just ones that existed in the past of the meta-timeline.

OK, well, say I propose reality is infinite and the multiverse is real. There should then be a timeline when I at this very moment proceed to visualize something unpleasant and said thing actually happens in a timeline, however I am aware of this and visualizing it with that intent, so have I done something wrong?
>>
>>54978239
But can others also do this? If you are the only one, then as before, it doesn't matter. How far do we stretch this scenario?
>>
>>54978211
>Punishment exists for the sake of punishment.
Punishment exists for the sake of preventing future crimes. You indulge in the immorality of wrathful revenge.

>>54978204
>but that the perpetrator did harm themselves by engaging in the act
If the totality of the act resulted in no consequences due to the reversal of time itself, there cannot have been a crime. There was no intent to do harm, and no harm done.

There might have been an intent to do temporary harm, as is the case of a fireman breaking down a door to put out a fire, but there was no lasting harm nor any intent for there to be.

In a scenario with one timeline (and the required meta-timeline) aren't almost all crimes kinda moot on the fact that you are killing (or "undoing") EVERYONE every time you use your powers

Yes but crimes, laws, justice, excetera don't exist for the individual. It doesn't matter if you feel guilty or if you think you've done something wrong if nobody is actually affected.

I have no clue what the fuck you are on about.
>According to you.
'Suffering of sentient beings' is basically the starting point for any kind of (modern) ethics. Whether it's deontological or utilitarian, doesn't matter. If you use some non-standard form of ethics, that's on you.

>Those questions are all related
I really don't see how. I mean, what is that multiple personality stuff about?

>There were no harmful consequences
You're just repeating yourself. There were still people hurt.

>Your morality is not based on actual harm done, but temporary states, and thus it is not morality. You may as well jail a doctor for stabbing someone to perform surgery.
Nah, man, that's just on you for not having a basic grasp on ethics. Hurting people to help them is fine. Rape is wrong in any non insane moral system.
>>
>>54978308
Setting aside that pedantry, why not? Those were my intentions in this scenario. Logically I should be punished. How is it any different from reversing time? From something that 'didn't happen'?
>>
>>54978300
>Thank you for vehemently agreeing with me?
That depends on your definition of "harm". There were no consequences, which tends away from the word "harm".

>>54978309
>Yes but crimes, laws, justice, excetera don't exist for the individual.
There is one potential 'crime' that you all have missed though:

Other people might not want their timelines being controlled, and thus may accuse you of temporal slavery.

They may not accuse you of things which did not happen, but controlling their time itself may be seen as a violation of individual rights. At the end of the day however, it always comes down to enforcement. The power to enforce sets what laws in fact exist.
>>
>>54978309
I mean, we're not talking about law though, right? It's about the moral side. If you destroyed the entire universe (except for yourself), that would still be wrong, even if there is no one to judge you, right?
>>
>>54978304
Well, it depends on your ethical system. Killing people without them experiencing any pain can be moral. Also, it's possible to introduce some meta-physical nonsense about souls, so it's still the same (but not really) people after a reset.
>>
>>54978350
I agree, anon. The more we discuss this the more convinced I become that time wizards are the orc babies of temporal paladins. They're just wrong by nature. Time wizardry is clearly a natural abomination that spits in the face of justice and therefore should be destroyed on sight. The baby time wizard is to be put to death at the spot.

Neither of you seem capable of intellectually comprehending the role of time reversal in this matter. It is absolute. No 'suffering' happened if that time itself never happened.

>>54978350
>The power to enforce sets what laws in fact exist.

Exactly. In the end justice as so on are just enlightened self interest for society as a whole, killing is illegal 'cause we don't want to be killed for example. Unless an appreciable portion of society is aware of something and can actually do anything about it can a law really constrict that thing.

But that isn't an observation you made. Besides it's intent that matters, isn't it? The time-criminal did what he did, reversed it, all that remains was that intent. It was that intent upon which you suppose we judge him and by that I should be guilty too.

Quite accurate. If you look at it from the perspective of most historical 'moral philosophies', someone who could control time itself would simply be considered Deus Magnus, Lord of Reality, and consequently the time controller would decide what was moral or not by virtue of being able to make anything else never happen.

>>54978489
>Unless it's a true reset and EVERYONE is affected
Again, this is your opinion. The reality is that the only remnant of such 'suffering' is the memories of the time wizard. The other things never actually happened. It is, in this case, the same as if he or she experienced a very really video game.

At what point to you are video game characters 'real enough' to be granted rights, essentially?

If you take your argument to its logical conclusion, you must as well declare all Christians for example evil for worshiping a force said to have caused suffering by drowsing in a planetary flood.
>>
>>54978489
A true reset cannot be considered. Does a tree fall if no one is there to observe it? In the case of a true reset it EFFECTIVELY didn't happen.

>>54978499

But that suffering didn't take place, just like with the rape. Besides sentience is as useless a term as consciousness. Insects are also sentient and I will honestly admit I set myself above animals and do not consider them equal in terms of 'moral' value. Doesn't mean I don't have empathy for animals though.
>>
>>54978525
>Besides it's intent that matters, isn't it?
Huh? I never mentioned anything like that. It's not wrong because of the intent, but rather because it actually happened.

>The time-criminal did what he did, reversed it, all that remains was that intent
That's the thing though. The actions that he did still happened, just in a version of the timeline that doesn't exist anymore.

>It was that intent upon which you suppose we judge him and by that I should be guilty too.
No, it's because you never hurt anybody. I mean, wanting people to suffer (even if they are just imaginary) is still a pretty psycho thing to do, but it's different to actually doing it, even if you 'reverse' it.

No, but why? There is no real evidence that it happened. The memories don't matter nor does the time-criminal's feelings, what matters is what you conceptualize as his will/intent (because actions are things that happen, and in a scenario in which time is reversed it cannot be described as an action).

>The actions that he did still happened, just in a version of the timeline that doesn't exist anymore.

The problem is that if it doesn't exist it doesn't matter. Taking things outside of reality into account doesn't really work and is very much just a hypothetical element to an already hypothetical scenario, a chaotic recursive element that is unnecessary.

If time is reversed, they didn't happen. He might remember them, but they didn't happen. That's time reversal.

>>54978631
>the one who commits a crime must be punished
Let's put it this way: Do you worship Zeus regularly? Should you be punished for the crime of impiety (which as a real crime) if not?

Essentially, the time wizard controls their reality. That makes him Zeus, for simple purposes. 'Crime' is only ever decided by 'enforcability' in modern legal scholarship.

You arguing what is moral to the time wizard is like you arguing with Zeus.

>>54978647
>At the point where they are fully sentient and self-aware.
If the time wizard controls their lives, how could they be considered self-aware?

Their reality is solely an extension of the will of the time wizard.

Essentially, you are trying to argue morality with a 'divine being', the time wizard. Does that help you two?

uh, so what? I don't see your point.

>I'm sorry but reality is what EXISTS. That is how it works and how it is defined. Thus anything that is undone, that is REMOVED from reality hasn't happened period
Then the premise is just faulty, because that kind of time travel is paradoxical.
If you remove the events that led you to rewind time, then you wouldn't have rewound time in the first place (unless it's impossible to change the past, in which case you're still going to commit the crime, so it's definitely an action that exists).
>>
>>54978793
This has been brought up multiple times. There has to be some past/alternate version of the timeline, because unless its circular, self-consistent timeline, there has to be some cause for the time reversal that's not inside the timeline itself.
>>
>>54978763
>You basically have no arguments left so now you're trying to elevate the time wizard above it all in a strange attempt to reduce everything to nothing.
You simply do not understand my arguments, which are quite common in ethical scholarship, namely:

"Where does your morality come from?"

By your logic of 'objective moral absolutism' for example, you must find the Christian Deus guilty of torturing sentient beings with Noah's Flood. Right?

Christian Ethicists argue around that by citing omnibenevolence, that everything the Deus does is done for good. That argument can be applied to the Time Wizard as well.

More modern Secular Humanist scholars instead derive morality from evolutionary biology, which depends largely on causality.

>>54978772
>That's just a practical argument for not punishing him, not that what he doesn't do is immoral.

Sure. It would be judged as immoral by your average Joe if pressed. But morality is subjective and that makes arguing anything about it just a matter philosophy.

>Resetting the world doesn't mean that these actions never happened, just that they never happened in this timeline.

This is something you are assuming in this hypothetical. You are assuming attributes of this time manipulation, that a timeline remains after the changes and isn't overwritten, or that there are other timelines at all. If those timelines exist the same disconnect exists as with an imagining because there is no long a causal chain.

uh, yeah? I'm not sure what you're trying to get at here. Are you trying to argue that discussions about ethics are pointless, or what.

>You are assuming attributes of this time manipulation
Because that's the only version where it's not blatantly obvious that the guy is doing something immoral:
multiple timelines: you're still fucking some timeline up, so that's definitely not moral
single timeline, unchanging: the crime can't actually be undone, the wizard is only traveling into the past to continually repeat his crime. Still hurting people.

No, because there is actually something that connects these timelines, you (or the time criminal or whoever).

The point is you cannot evaluate whether something is self-aware without having engineered the situation yourself. A dream person can act just as real as a real person because our subconscious knows how to fool us.

>Then the premise is just faulty, because that kind of time travel is paradoxical.

Are you not making assumptions about how time travel works? Time travel is in most cases impossible because it break causality and results in corruption of reference frames. It would not work in the first place, so picking at the science of it is of no use.

That is exactly what I am saying. Why is it wrong? If nobody was hurt it didn't happen but that is not what we seem to be arguing because you are arguing from the assumption of pre-knowledge or some form of metacognition, or just from without the hypothetical itself.

It is pointless to discuss ethics or morality from an objective standpoint. Though they can be considered pragmatically, as enlightened self interest, for the sake of reputation, your appearance of character and your own benefit overall. But yes, without a meaning outside of our personal feelings.

If you are the same anon, then this is your vanguard. You are operating under the assumption of factors that you will not be swayed on so I shall concede this here and bring an end to this ridiculous, crazy conversation. Have a good one.
>>
Okay, here's a variation.

Let's say you're about to rape someone, and then a time mage travels back in time from the future you would have created by committing the rape, and stops the rape from happening. Just for argument's sake, let's say he stops you by talking you down from it peacefully rather than resorting to violence. Also let's say for the sake of the argument that as soon as he stops you, he and his timeline disappear because they never happened, and it doesn't create a stable time loop. Are you still guilty of rap and is the time wizard guilty of genocide?

No, I'm not that guy and I think it was pretty obvious that I'm not saying that the wizard should be punished (as there's not way he's going to get punished), but rather that - what actually started the discussion - whether it would be wrong for someone to rape if they have time reset powers.
Oh well, it's probably for the best to just let this rest.

This happens to just about any sort of morality discussion on /tg/, and has for around the last decade, since /tg/ is full of LG virtue signalling.

Ethics matter, but because other people think they matter. Objectively they don't.

Humans craft creeds, ethics, morality and so on to protected themselves. Because being perfectly objective is impossible and so ethics is necessary for stability.

"Listen, the prophet Muhammad, who received divine counsel from our divine lord Allah, has told us in the sacred Quran that rape is fully moral if it is witnessed by two other men and conducted upon an unowned woman."

I'm trying to get you to rationally figure out why you believe something is wrong, as opposed to being an emotionalist virtue signaller.

"The Bible, Torah, and Quran all say that rape is moral under certain circumstances. Are you defying the word of the almighty creator of the universe?"

See? You have a problem with the basis of your morality. The argument many Anons put forth in this thread is not just a trite "if consequences were removed", it's the statement that Time Magic literally made the act never happen.

See:
>>54979853
>Ethics matter, but because other people think they matter.
>>
>>54977284
>I disagree. Retributive justice dictates that there must be punishment of unlawful behaviour for there to be justice. Even if there is no victim, even if the act has been undone, then still the perpetrator should be punished. The basic principles of justice themselves dictate that this punishment should take place. Sure, in such a situation no one would know of the crime and able to bring the perpetrator to justice but that doesn't change the fact that justice should take place.

What if you punish the criminal, then reset time so the punishment never happened?
>>
>>54979782
See as well:
>>54979943
>What if you punish the criminal, then reset time so the punishment never happened?
A very useful point to elucidate how crime and punishment are based on future consequences.

There are a few reasons you might not want to commit the act in the first place however:
1. The Time Magic might fail.
2. Utilitarian pointlessness: There are probably better things to do with your time/power.

Remember though, a fully controlling Time Wizard is essentially a 'divine being'. Many ethical systems and religions would say the Time Wizard determines what is moral through his 'mandate of heaven' to exercise his power.

>>54980231
>Maybe your strategy for telling if someone consents to sex is to forcibly penetrate them then rewind time if they seem upset afterwards.
Could be a pretty entertaining character concept.

The people in this thread haven't well considered 'enforcability' and 'purpose' though. Laws are enforced by men to protect society. To the perception of bystanders, they'd probably try to stop the Time Wizard, right before getting time-rewound and forgetting all about it. At that point, they'd see the Time Wizard as just another normal person again.
>>
>>54979853
>Objectively they don't.
Nothing matters 'objectively'.

Also, you're confusing law with ethics. Ethics definitely aren't just there to provide stability.
I don't really see your point though.

>>54979886
What the heck are you on about. I'm saying that people were literally referring to ethical systems (no, not 'god said it'). You can't get any more basic in relation to morality than that. I'm sorry, but if you think that makes somebody an 'emotionalist virtue signaler' you're beyond fucked in the head.

>it's the statement that Time Magic literally made the act never happen
Holy shit, are you being intentionally daft? It's impossible to make it so that it 'never actually happens'. The closest thing you're going to get is 'no effect on the current state of reality (beyond the influence on the wizard)'.

>>54980027
>Many ethical systems and religions would say the Time Wizard determines what is moral through his 'mandate of heaven' to exercise his power
Are you some pagan from the 8th century? If not, what relevance does that have? No ethical system that is taken seriously by anybody (of note) today is like that. The only thing close is in regards to omnipotent beings, but the wizard isn't even remotely omnipotent just because he can turn back time.

>Personally, I don't see how it is possible to be a "nihilist" and remain a living and acting person. Do you simply call people who don't use mythological explanations that?

I stand uncucked, the futa author seems to have resorted to similar tactics like you SDA. So no CYOA actually beat Eronomicon.

I'm in a good mood, but not because of that. I found my old RPG folder when I was cleaning my computer. back in the days I made a RPG system from scratch and reading though that rulebook was so nostalgic and fun. I could actually use my old RPG system and create a CYOA with it, wouldn't take much effort either. I call it: Battle Sluts! It would be about Susie pulling you into her virtual world and forcing you to engage in a virtual reality game called Battle Sluts, Battle Sluts is lewd gladiatory battle fucking. If you lose the game Susie will punish you, but if you succeed in beating the game you will get some rewards. Not 100% sure about everything, but I like the concept.

I don't either. Are you the same anon as I was responding to? What is being discussed, morality? So opinions, right? Popular or unpopular maybe, but still opinions. Clarification is needed.
>>

It is literally the law, Sharia Law, of billions of Muslims.

You don't seem to understand that morality was invented by humans for a material purpose, and is innovated upon with time. Most of the humans on planet Earth do NOT believe rape is 'always wrong'. Isn't that funny?
It wasn't even considered "rape" to force-fuck your wife in the USA until about 50 years ago.

You can't just say "it's wrong, if you don't believe me, you're crazy": you have to EXPLAIN it.

For example, in evolutionary biology, rape is made immoral because those subject to being raped are less likely to willingly contribute to a society which does not protect them. That's real modern ethics for you.

You run into an issue however if the person can literally CONTROL TIME. How are you going to enforce laws on that, eh?

>>54980381
>Existential nihilism doesn't mean you don't see any value in anything. Just that there is no objective meaning of life.
That's a bit cart-before-the-horse. Any concept of "meaning" is based on the pre-existence of life.

If you're talking about "Earth life was created by X other life for X purpose", there just isn't enough information to know one way or another yet.

No, the 'moral objectivists' of flavor A would say "it's rape if you don't have consent for each sex act, look at her scream", while 'objectivists' of flavor B would say "she gave implicit continuing consent by marrying you, she owes you children".

To be frank, I was thinking of running my own proper contest for the end of the year, but I really don't want to deal with the autism that follows with it.

It's part of the reason why I came up with the rubric. I would've had a small group of well-known authors help me as judges and they'd use the rubric to help them determine whether or not the CYOA was not-shit enough to be in the contest. Then we'd probably split them up into categories or something and have votes.

I'm certainly on the edge about it, though. I want it to be a legitimate contest rather than a popularity one. I also think it'd stir up too much shit in the threads.

No, ethics isn't just opinions. It's an actual branch of philosophy. Sure, there are different viewpoints inside of that branch, but in regards to the things that are shared by all of them there is really no need to specify.

>>54980455
>It is literally the law, Sharia Law, of billions of Muslims.
Read what I wrote. Sharia Law isn't just based on 'divinity' but on god being actually omnipotent.
Also, you're confusing religious beliefs with ethics. Religious beliefs may dictate morals but not ethics. When talking about whether it is right or wrong to do something, the default assumption is that you're talking about ethics.

> Most of the humans on planet Earth do NOT believe rape is 'always wrong'.
Ethics -and philosophy in general- isn't some sort of popularity poll, you know?

>You can't just say "it's wrong, if you don't believe me, you're crazy": you have to EXPLAIN it.
Nah, I'm saying 'if you can't accept that this is the state of ethics in the last few centuries, you're crazy'. There is no mainstream system of ethics that advocates rape. I'm not going to explain that, because this isn't the time and place for me to write an essay on 'why rape is unethical in system x'.

>For example, in evolutionary biology, rape is made immoral because those subject to being raped are less likely to willingly contribute to a society which does not protect them. That's real modern ethics for you.
You're kidding, right? Like, that makes it seem like you know barely anything about ethics, let alone modern ethics. That's just pragmatic law. Calling something like that ethics is making a mockery out of it.

>How are you going to enforce laws on that, eh?
Again, you're failing to understand that there is a difference between laws and ethics. Enforceability matters jackshit to ethics.

That, I understand, but they'd be hand-picked of course. And there are those who I believe are wholly humble about their opinions.

I don't really want to reveal names, but then they'd probably not be able to participate in the contest as well (I wouldn't participate myself, obviously). That or they could just not rate their own OC.

I would really just use the rubric as a means of determining if it's shit or not. I probably wouldn't even ask them what they graded it, just if they think it's good enough to be in the contest or not (good enough meaning it's not dogshit, or something like a plagiarized work).

I think I'm not gonna do it, in the end. It really will stir up a lot of shit.

>>54980818
>Ethics -and philosophy in general- isn't some sort of popularity poll, you know?
That's where you're wrong Mr. Pretentious Moralist. Morality, ethics, and law only exist by the agreement of men. Consider for yourself some Social Contract and Rights of Man.

You're essentially imparting 'divine objectivity' to the concept of ethics, which has been repeatedly proven wrong by the existence of different cultures. As opposed to me not understanding modern ethics, it is in fact the opposite: you do not recognize the biological base of ethical concepts, as demonstrated by evolution, and described by Secular Humanism.

>>54980818
>There is no mainstream system of ethics that advocates rape.
Islamic Jurisprudence does. So you're provably wrong.

You just can't explain why they're wrong without emotional arguments. Fortunately, real ethicists can with evolutionary biology, and biological sociology. So please keep your ignorance from leaking.

>Enforceability matters jackshit to ethics.
Enforceability matters everything to ethics, morality, and law due to Natural Selection. Again, a basic of modern scholarship, unless you'd like to deny evolution.

If the wizard can control time for you, to you he is indistinguishable from 'omnipotent'. And by controlling your evolution, he decides what you believe is ethical.

How could it be considered a faligure when I get a /D/? I got the best letter in the entire alphabet!

So you won't strive to be a non-shit author? I know English is hard to master, but damn, your shit reads like it's been written by a 12-year old.

Don't people have sick days and paid vacation days? If a company works people too hard, they just quit. Peasants had less options under religious feudalism, so your logic is a bit flawed. "Idle hands are the devil's", etc.

I'm satisfied with my tendies thank you very much. No, I hate feeling compelled to buy gifts for people and I don't like receiving gifts either, to a lesser degree.

It's much better to just spend time with people you enjoy, and spontaneously give gifts rather than being socially obligated by day.

I am already the best lewd CYOA author of all time.

I have heard this line so many times it's nostalgic. It's like when a tsundere says it's not like I like you or anything. It is warm, familiar and full of love and care disguised as hostility.

It's /tg/, there's always a background din of moralfaggotry. At least it's more entertaining than Tok/SDA wars, usually broadcast on this channel.

I like this, it's pretty simple.
Brings about a dream I have sometimes of just walking in a misty dense forest, a comforting cold, like the feeling of when it's cold outside but you're wrapped in a blanket.

Maybe you should listen instead of rejecting legitimate criticism, then. You could learn a thing or two from me.
