Someone in the last thread said GS was an immediate success like (the utterly flawless CYOA that is) JAD. As someone who was there since the beginning I'd say not. There's a regular 3-6 players it seems due to it being so niche, but that much has been said before. It also doesn't help that he runs on Aussie time. I thinking Treads memes just give the illusion it's popular, that is unless there are many more people reading it than participating

Not this Anon, but what's the consensus on humans as characters in a CYOA? I have an Idea for one I want to run that would switch between a pony and a Human MC. They wouldn't interact until their personalities had fully established so that no one acts out of character, but the pony sections would be more lighthearted while the human sections would lean scifi gritty.
It wouldn't feature "Anon" at all, and you'd start out playing the pony, but I don't see anyway to do the story I want without humans.
>>
>>25475592
There is no consensus. A lot of people don't like it, some do, but most importantly, the only consensus might be "it depends on how well you pull it off".

Because humans are a veeeery lazy (since other greentext threads have done most of the possible scenarios), boring and out of theme choice in the world full of mythical creatures and just normal, sentient animals. Be creative a little.
>B-but muh hands/humanoid shapes
Pick frigging minotaurs (or any of the other mythical species with hands), not much shown about them in show, and you can make shit up about their culture based on that one show one being a LOUD personal trainer/coach.
>B-but muh technological supremacy
Get back2that one thread. Literally make some race up (like those globloid things) or make some race use weird technology (cats with egyptian technology a'la Stargate? Dwarflike moles with heat/crystal technology?)
>B-but muh humans exploring a different culture that is way nicer and more accepting than theirs
Use griffons? Or any other mythical species that you think could be edgy and lost in this cutesy world?
>B-but the only one of their race stranded in a different world
Be creative.
>B-but I want humans to be better than ponies
We have a thread for that on the board already, go there.

>>
>>25475972
They're fine, I'd enjoy them more if they were more like the mythological satyrs, but I guess I could accept them as they are, since they do kinda fit the theme (and because it'd be silly to ask everyone in the fandom to change their mind on how they should look.)

Have an idea for a CYOA where the children of Celestia, Luna, Twilight, and Cadence fight against Sombra, Chrysalis, Nightmare Moon, and the MC's parent over control of Equestria.

You would have to either side with either the old order of Harmony, or join Chaos and bring about a new era. Or side with neither and face both sides to change the course of history to your own design.

This a good idea?, And would you guys try it?

Part 1/2
[Warning Autism ahead]
Show order Gen1 Gen 3 Gen 4 <Gen3.5(May be excluded)> Gen 2
Most of this ordering is based off of the genetic diversity displayed in ponies from these various eras as well as the abundance of various creature that likely have gone extinct.
>In Gen 1 we see the presence of ponies with jewel eyes and the flutter ponies, both of wich will be extinct or in massive decline by Gen 3. In Gen 1 we also see bushwoolies elves and various villain of the day creature that seem to disappear from other generations I.E. Katrina and the monkeys. Also note that there was a creature that caused the princess pony's island to become crystallized, I believe this community would later become the crystal empire.
By Generation3 we see a schism between the various tribes of ponies showing that there must have been something that drove them apart that is still keeping them separate. As there is likely some form of conflict between the tribes we can guess that some of the various pony tribes such as flutter ponies that kept their communities exclusive where wiped out causing rare item's like the sun's stone to be lost or captured by one of the three kingdoms that arose after the schism. We also see the same Spike from Gen 1 living in a castle in Gen 3, although he had been sleeping for most of the time in between. Also breezies exist.
>>
>>25476652
Ooh, that's harsh. I like it.
>>
>>25476660
Part 2/2
>By Generation 4 we see that there has been a reunion between the tribes under the rule of the Alicorns. Interestingly enough the Sun's stone no longer seems to be present but the leader of ponies country has the power that the sun's stone was said to possess. At this point we see the return of Tirek who was a known villain by Gen 4 and who turned pegasi into dragons in Gen 1. during this time we see ponies interbreeding from various tribes. and going with the idea that horns and wings are recessive traits via the Cake's excuse for their children's appendages it is likely that interbreeding will cause those recessive traits to show less as time goes on.
By Gen 3.5 we see no pegasi of unicorns, and the technology available to ponies has improved.
By Generation 2 There are no pegasi or unicorns outside of those that randomly show up to stop that hot air balloon that patch is on and the level of technology has surpassed Generations 3.5 and 4

And that's as much as I feel like saying about this for now.

I'm not against competition. I'm against popularity contests. Incidentally, I'm also against players competing for quests instead of quests competing for players. Which is also different from QMs competing for players.

Players competing with each other draws arbitrary lines between the population of players. M&Mfags vs JADfags. That kind of distinction will just lead to drama and fighting, much like {waifu}fags. An example some time ago was RGSfags. They were very much treated as a separate thing until RGS ended and they dissolved into the thread. And there was an underlying tone of people getting tired of RGSfags and their meming.

Popularity contests are also pretty negative. They always have the effect of making what's popular even more popular while what's not popular stays not popular. Without any real relation to merit. There's few enough quests that ones you read should be chosen based on interest as opposed to popularity.

At the end of the day the archive has a strong effect on quests. It's already viewed as a sort of achievement to get on it by some people, which I don't like but understand. And I try to be careful to not encourage behaviors that I view as negative.

about what tho
be a good little filly?
>>
>>25476965
I thought anonfilly was a cute idea until I read the green where Twilight and the ponies mind rape Anon into a "model filly" by abusing his reduced mental capacity to strip away his old personality leaving nothing but a shell.
>>
>>25476556
Okay.
>>
>>25476909
I feel like I could add to this.

>>25475458
For example, I guess I can explain my thoughts on why the players chose what they did here.

If the big head thing is round, the options were
>Climb the really steep tall thing and try to drop down onto the spiky teeth
>Jump around the mouth to get in.

So, not seeing an answer, the players tried to make their own answer, create an opening for themselves to get in. This was immediately met with complete failure, and now the general mood in the thread seems

QM: God, these guys suck and I'm getting frustrated with my own boss
Players: I have no idea what to do and I'm getting frustrated with the boss.
>>
>>25476954
By standing as gatekeeper to the archive you're responsible for getting on it being seen as an achievement. Not that weeding out Quests that will certainly fail is bad, but it's what you chose.
>>
>>25476980
Depends on if this is mind-wiped anonfilly or not. If not, it's really just anon trying to figure out how to become human again while under Twilight's jurisdiction. Which honestly sounds pretty fun. If so then if the QM stuck to the character trying to make 'mommy' happy would probably work as a goal and branch off from there.

>>25477019
The concept varies from anon in a filly body, mind-wiped anon in a filly body, and just a normal self-insert filly that's taken care of by Twilight.

It's really interesting how some of the writers depict the mental conditioning and continued abuse. A few of the early ones highlighted self-punishment as a result of being unintentionally conditioned to think she deserved what she got. I dropped it around thread 3, so I don't really know if it got better or not, but it was pretty dark.

The problem is that it's a bit arbitrary. Some bad quests have gotten in when similar or slightly better quests languish.

Overall arbitrary QC is better than no QC at all though.
>>
Post some hot opinions.
>>
>>25477209
i pretty much abandoned all hope for the thread when someone thought up of a story where anonfilly gets raped by Button and Rumble, only keeping quiet because they threaten to tell Twilight that anonfilly was talking about being a human. Then they say it anyways and he filly gets beaten regardless, given zero chance to protest, and it becomes an endless cycle of rape-beating-rape-beating-rape-beating.

now the whole anonfilly thing gives me an uneasy feeling, the exact same one i got when i saw that the screencap of the /fit/ guy who got keked by a bitch and his gf sided with her and not him.

>>
>>25477569
I-I don't know if I want to look at the anonfilly threads anymore.

>>25477525
Any QC for this sort of thing will be inherently arbitrary. There's no real way to avoid that.
>>
>>25477559
The main thing killing CYOAs is people complaining that CYOAs are dead.
>>
>>25477569
Yeah, that one was pretty boring. There's a balance between ow the edge and actual characterization and reasonable reactions. Some of the stories rode the line properly. The problem is that sex is inherently more popular than writing well.
>>
>>25477619
I think having more than one person deciding what gets in would help reduce the arbitrarity.
Not that that concept doesn't open up whole new cans of worms.

c'mon anon it has heartwarming moments just like >>25477119 when anonfilly was happy because it was her birthday and she did a birthday "cake" for herself then twilight appears, trashes her "cake" and then beats her for wanting to eat so much sugar
the best part is that anonfilly actually believes twilight will give her a surprise birthday party and when it doesn't happen she takes the cake out of the trash and sings happy birthday to herself

This. I can handle a dark/grim story, but the abuse anonfilly has just rubs me the wrong way for the whole endless abuse for no real reason. Just "What, you thought you could breath without asking?" and smacking/rape/torture ensues.

Fuckin fluffly ponies 2.0 if you ask me.

I so desperately wanted to write a story about where the filly is abused, Luna catches on thanks to dreams and intervenes, then takes the filly away to be cared for as purple ass is forever shamed.
Then anonfilly watches the guards train and quickly catches on, copying them as she grows/recovers, eventualy becoming The Boss of equestria.

Shit like that was basically the exact opposite of what I expected and wanted out of the concept, which is "Twilight turns Anon into a filly and punishes him in various further ways, but none of them work because they all end up being his fetish." Or basically anything that invoked lighthearted goofball antics.

Instead we got maximum edgelords in an escalating depression arms race to see who could kick the puppy the hardest.

What's worse is I don't think it started out that way. Like I think for two threads it was a more normal AiE/greenthread offshot, and then some fuckbucket makes the third thread with "abuse" as a main theme. It didn't even get a chance, really.

I'd try an Anonfilly CYOA that was actual lighthearted comedy based around "mind of a depraved adult in a kid's body" antics if I had the time.
>>
>>25476262

I'm still working it out right now, I'm sad to say. I still need to structure the timelines better and find where all the parts fit. Most of what I can tell you is more hypothetical than theoretical. Soon though, soon.

Thank you anons, now I want a lighthearted anonfilly cyoa that will never happen.
