>>26941825
Is it really so hard to believe that I can still care about the success of something that I don't play?
>>26941808
>get lewd
Sounds good to me.
>>26941848
That's not really caring. That's maybe "being happy for someone", but it's not caring.
>>26941859
Thats silly anon, the greater success of any medium will always lead to an increased prevalence of its material. Even if you're not invested in every cyoa ever made you would still care for their success because of their capacity to cultivate future QMs.
>>26941848
>I care about the success of things I don't play
>>26941859
>caring about the success of things you don't play isn't really caring
Never change.
>>26941875
This. Didn't you hear Pinkie talk about the difference between abstract cares and concrete cares?
>>26941875
So you actually don't care about the quests themselves but only what possible future gain you could have from them? Wow, Pinkie, you're really the worst.
>>26941898
It's like Pinkie's a politician and you're tearing apart her words to find the fault in them.
Anon, she cares about the success of all CYOAs, and doesn't want to see them fail. Can't you just be happy with that?
>>26941898
im not pinkie.
But dont pretend you care for your cyoas for any reason beyond your enjoyment of them.
>>26941917
No, we must be cynical with everything.
There is nothing wrong with trying to see things from multiple angles, but then you have to assume the worst of people to see those other angles sometimes.
So, uh, where are all the CYOA's? And the QM's? The only other ones I've seen today are Res and SWC.
>>26941917
No, because when a QM links to his new thread or whatever and Pinkie says "I care", she's basically just saying "I hope you are successful, so you will bring forth future QMs". She just hopes that the QMs will fertilize the soil enough so that the continuity of CYOAs is ensured. She cares about quests and QMs as much as a farmer cares about his lifestock.
That's terrible!
>>26941956Tomorrow
>>26941956
I'm here, but i'm too cautious about scruff v2.0, too anxious about my abilities as a QM and too lazy to do must about either of those.
Tomorrow I promise
>>26941930
I don't, but the number of quests I would say about "I care" is very limited. Not about fucking all of them.
>>26941972
>I'm here, but i'm too cautious about scruff v2.0
That's just an excuse. CYOAs are safe.
>>26941990
safe from the mods sure, but when the mods outed as as an exception to the rule they painted a target on us for trolls and shitposters.
>>26942000
So.. just ignore the shitposters, where's the problem?
>>26942000
Don't reply.
Done, next excuse.
>>26942000
Exactly, I mean my quest isn't exactly the most serious of stories but I don't want it to turn into a trainwreck,I know it already is one but trainwrecks are only made worse by the addition of yet more crashing trains.

For fuck's sake. When I link a quest and say that I care, I am saying exactly two things:
>it makes me happy to see cyoas being run and enjoyed, since I am a fan of the medium
>I want all QMs to know that no matter how bad the bantz get, they still have people who care about their quests and appreciate their effort
I chose to phrase that as "I care" because it formed a nice counterpoint to Spike.mov/Twiggy/Spitfire's "I don't care" meme. That's literally it.
>>26942030
>>26942000
Happened to like two threads the day of and haven't been seen since.
>>26942023
It's an excuse regardless of who's entitled to what. If he doesn't want to give an excuse he can just not say anything and no one's going to force him to do anything. We can call his shit excuses shit all day long though.
>>26942030
>they still have people who care about their quests and appreciate their effort
But you don't care about their quests, you just care about them RUNNING the quests. Do you also "care" about the gasoline in your car's engine?
>>26942023
>muh entitlement
What do you want to call it then, mister tumblr?
>I'm not going to run because of the shitposters
An excuse is an excuse.
>>26942030
I mean, I don't want to start shit 'cause I think what you're doing is fine. But you yourself have admitted to not reading all quests for whatever reasons, so when you say you care about those one or give an "abstract care" it can come off as kinda cold.
Not that i'm saying you should change anything, just throwing in my two cents.
>>26942044
it's not an excuse at all, if someone doesnt want to deal with the hassle of shitposters they aren't obligated to. period. you can cry all you want about 'just ignore them' but if someone aint up to it, tough shit.
>>26942060
>if someone doesnt want to deal with the hassle of shitposters they aren't obligated to
Yeah, because no quest ever had a ton of shitposters before the scruff. That's totally unheard of.
>>26942060
>Its not an excuse at all, it's just a reason not to do something.
Hey, words don't mean things anymore guys!
> if someone doesnt want to deal with the hassle of shitposters they aren't obligated to. period. you can cry all you want about 'just ignore them' but if someone aint up to it, tough shit.
Thanks for repeating half my post nitwit.
>>26942053
it's a reason.
I dont want to do A, so i dont do A. An excuse is defensive of a position, there's nothing to defend here because nobody needs to justify anything, if they dont want to do thing, thye don't do thing and everyone else can just have a cry.
>>26941970
Oh, yes.
>>26942084
>Hey, words don't mean things anymore guys!
nigga maybe you should know what the word excuse means.
a reason or explanation put forward to defend or justify a fault or offense.
There is no offense here, ergo its not an excuse.
>>26942040
I care about all the quests, I play as many as I can, read most of the rest in the archives, and there is nothing you can do to stop me.
>>26942045
I suppose that's one way of putting it. I'm still happy to see any quest succeed and disappointed to see any quest fail.
>>26942057
I hate giving out abstract cares for exactly that reason. People complained about me expressing care for RITS and not playing it, though, so I qualified it after that.
You also might notice that I have stopped posting it entirely.

>You also might notice that I have stopped posting it entirely.
N-no more cares?
>>26942099
The fault he proposed is 'not running'. So yes, it is an excuse. I'm glad you came.
>>26942102
That's every thread. Might as well be a rule at this point.
>>26942117
not running is not a fault you self obsessed piece of shit.
>>26942117
The amusing part is trying to excuse an excuse.
>>26942116
No, I think he means he stopped posting abstract cares
>>26942116
Yes, because the only people who actually care about a quest are the players and the QM.

If their use of the word 'excuse' is triggering you so much, then why not just replace it with the word 'reason'? He's not running for a shitty reason. You know exactly what they're saying even if the terminology is off, so all you're doing is whining and bitching.
>>26942137
>the only people who actually care about a quest are the players and the QM
What about things I don't play but I still read? I care about those. So does Pinkie.

You're having a cry that the community you probably contribute nothing to isn't entertaining you enough. End yourself.
>>26942145
No it still isnt, because people aren't obligated to go out of their way. telling you why they arent going isnt an excuse. it would only be an excuse if they were required to do something and then didn't.
>>26942169
>I'm not running for shitty reasons!

You keep thinkin' what you're thinkin'. No one's obligated to run, I'm not obligated to think his excuses aren't shit.

>>26942163
Right, they're saying that they're entitled little manchildren and i generally despise people like that.
>>26942137
I'm going to care about your opinion, anon. I am going to care about it so fucking hard that you will be able to feel my respect for your position across the internet.
Also, I respectfully disagree.
>>26942175
Agreed. He's not obligated to run, but giving those kind of reasons for not running is a red flag for me. It means that the quest will probably never be finished.
>>26942186
I greatly prefer someone just disagreeing with me over someone who indifferently says he agrees.
>>26942193
Nah, that's an overestimation. A lot of QMs just have self-confidence issues and feel like shitposting is the end of the world. And if he doesn't want to deal with it he doesn't have to. His reasons are shitty but it's not indicative of the health of his quest really.
>>26942166
Thank you

11 active quests, we were at 16 before.
so we're missing an inept, sloth, ficfic, link, whoever runs spicy and a nips? none of those people seem to be the type who will just disapear and let their thing die.
>>26942193
>>26942208
It's interesting where it's the case that "Just not feeling it" gets less heat than what's viewed as a bad reason. Which is why the obligation guy comes off a weird. He's pushing a weird idea that people aren't allowed to judge an individual's reasons for doing or not doing something because that's trying to push some obligation on them. When in reality it's just judging the reasons. And the judgement means absolutely nothing and is just an opinion.

It is made of glass and has fish and water inside of it.
Also it's copyrighted and you're not allowed to draw them.
>>26942702

Crafts work is going on strike, you might have a chance.
So, I could run tomorrow, or later today I suppose since it's 1 AM here, but I feel like people would expect a silly joke CYOA, which I am incapable of.
I could run Vamp, or TES or even start my new Quest. Starting the new one outside of peak hours seems like asking for failure, and VampFruit was in the middle of something, so if there's no real preference I'll just go with TES. I'm trying to use that to get better at comedic writing. Or at least being more light hearted.
So, yeah. Which of the three should I run?
>>26943633
Last I checked she only stopped murdering the MC at every available opportunity and switched to trying to murder her own players.
>>26943668
I vote TES, but I also vote for tomorrow.

>>26943793
I didn't really like it either, but I don't feel like it's something he should have to "make up" for either.
>>26943772
>>26943756
Why'd you do it, Anon. why'd you kill the lil poner?
What'd she ever do to you? She was just a lil poner. She could have done stuff. Lil poner stuff, but not now, because you killed her.
You jerk.
>>26943793
It was Either run an Anon Quest on the first, or make a Cuti-Clash/colorblind thread.

Pitch x Chalk lewd tommorow/todayBatstuffing and Stuck's return from the scruffening 1.5 Sunday because I'll be busy Friday and SaturdayUnique maybe someday. Dunno, game is too fucked to fix methinks. The only thing I can think to bring it back is do the Lovesick minisession, since I can avoid all the baggage. Though obviously just to do that and pretty much leave Lovesick and the other character's fate in limbo is pretty bad.

Tell me in 1(one) sentence why is good grammar important
>>26944432
Because if you're grammer is a shit you aren retarded
>>26944432
It doesn't matter if you have the most interesting and most groundbreaking story ever told, if you never use punctuation and misspell words constantly, more energy is spent mentally fixing the mistakes than there is focusing on the story you have written.
You would think that this would be common knowledge but nope.
>>26944432ONE FUCKING JOB
I can tell you that good grammar is very important in a quest and this is based on personal experience.
What could work s the perfect April Fools Prank for this general?

It really depends on the format of the quest as to how annoying not using punctuation is Nips can forget punctuation because its all dialogue and one line per sentence anyway Its when the mistakes are part of a larger paragraph that it tends to get annoying and confusing Spicy would be another example where it doesnt really matter as long as the lines don't get too long and they use quotation marks
Are you ready for a day of """fun"""?
>>26944643
I'm ready to cum inside fleetfoot
>>26944623
For reference would a greentext story ~3000 with lack of punctuation but very little to no misspelled words be a bother to a reader?
If it was written as one line one sentence.

It's a good, comfy meme. You guys are pricks.
You should be complaing more about "Nobody cares" one because it's more hamrful.
>>26944681
It depends entirely on sentence structure. It might be it might not be.
>>26944692
Nobody cares is a shitposter, the only way for them to die is to be ignored.
>>26944706
>they only occasionly shitpost and only do it in /cyoag/
FTFY
>>26944717
Completely rewriting the sentence to say something unrelated isn't fixing anything. I don't even know what you were trying to imply.
>>26944692
>more hamrful
cry harder fag
>>26944721
I think he was trying to meme and just failed at it hard.
>>26944721
I only occasionally shitpost in this thread, and i have alot of non shitposts
>>26944730
If i was trying to meme it would be obvious
>>26944733
Meme master.
>>26944738
Fuck off res
Hey guys psssh listen what I have to tell you....Hot coltxfilly action fully detailed with sexual fluids
Don't tell Chris Hansen I was here.
>>26944733
Alright. So do you not know how to 4chan or what? FTFY doesn't work there at all. Your 'fix' had nothing to do with my post, so it didn't 'fix' anything.
>>26944756
Why don't you take a seat, right over there?
>>26944767
(You)
>>26944771
Alright, so you're just retarded I guess. Solves that.
>>26944768
You can't catch us all!
>>26944779
No, you just don't get the meme or you were pretending to be retarded, example here
>>26944787
So you have an example of how it works and yet you still fucked it up. So either a complete newfag or retard, gotcha.
>>26944794
No, i just used it to tell you what i actually do
Here is your fucking (You), just take it already
>>26944801
Yes, you used the phrase incorrectly to tell me what you do. That's what I said from the get go. Which is why you're retarded.
>>26944814
Ok, your bait game is pretty weak bro, you need to work on it

Name something good that will never happen in your favorite quests.
>>26944995
I never usually get to see closure, storywise.
>>26944995
those bangs are just the most distracting thing.
>>26945010
a cute
>>26943079
Same way you fuck a coke bottle.
Oh god what the fuck
How long until secret club is blamed for turning 4chan into Tumblr?
testing
dear got it generates a name for you
Moot you fuck.
>>26945083
Let's see if the name is generated each time or if it's static.
>>26945061
already
>>26945093
Nah, I was
>>26945014
>>26945088
Do you think Choosie is the one randomly generating the names?
>>26945101
Yeah, I was
>>26945093
>>26945083
Just establishing the system before people go out shitposting.
Rolling for best name.
All in all, I actually like the floating quick replay circle.
Kind of convenient.
>>26945151
>floating qr button convenient
Looks like someone doesn't know about 4chan/appchan X
>>26945177
>not generating pony names for the pony board
Not-moot pls
Are trips still alright?
>>26945240
The pony names woulda actually been a thougtfully neat touch.
>Wanted to run your quest today
Oh for fuck sake.
seems the joke quest I planned won't be happening today
