Pixel integrity is when the pixels are all the same size, as this handy MSpaint image will now demonstrate.

>>27247684
How many pixels per pixel are your pixels, Inept? Four?

>>27248320
The way pyre has handled curwhibbles makes me sad.
I know he has that one guy who professes that he's an absolutely astounding writer, though I disagree. But even if that is true, he isn't a very good qm.
Disappearing for months on end, and when a thread is up, vanishing for several days without teliing the players, leaving them to bump in hope that he'll come back.

That's why his player retention sucks. He's the flakiest QM we have, even moreso than Sloth.

To a small extent. I think I'd need a larger sample size. I'm not sure if the game would crash and burn if only, say, five people felt like they could contribute. I'm also a bit worried about the threads dying over the course of the much more active day.

During its hayday, JAD ran almost exclusively during the dead of night, and it was fairly popular, had an active crowd, and survived during the day.

Galloping Steel was also a late night runner (cause he's a filthy aussie), and it had reasonable popularity and participation.

So it is possible - you just have git gud.

Maybe. My eyesight has been getting worse and worse every year.

Just saying it looks sort of like a healthy and clean version of him.)

Sloth's OC is from the fandom's worst fanfic's fandom.

Hey look I just completed a quest, am I a successful QM now?

I'm going to pretend this isn't a shitpost because it's making me curious. What would this quest be? Is the MC a pony that really wants to play a quest but is afraid to run it?

Justice for Tink when?

>>27251804
Make it

>>27251804
Spam the request exactly once a day until someone falls for it. It worked with Don't Fuck.

Commit sudoku.
Sudoku is good mental exercise and is less stressful than running a CYOA.

Someone doesn't go to the anonfilly threads.
>>
>>27251833
Make a serious response on your phone with the wifi turned off, then use that.
>>
>>27251833
Realise it was a mistake to expect serious investment from players in a memequest featuring Nyx, then cheer up because hey at least you didn't plan anything, so it's not like you made any sort of effort, nothing was wasted. Except a thread.

Spaceship anon here again.

The plan I had originally was to give the PC a bit of a history- ex-cult member and such flying pirates to avoid being killed by former comrades and the galactic authorities, to earn enough b its to start a new anonymous life.

Absolutely intending to do a character creation for the gender and looks and such, but I am wondering if applying too much backstory to the poner here for players. I'm not really giving anything more than ex-cultist and soldier, but would this feel like having a railway tie up the ass to start?
Would total blank slate poner pirate be more appealing?

>You knew this was a bad idea.
>Immediately, you get out your book of Sudoku puzzles and get to work.

>>27251808
Hey we invited him along.

If there is one thing you could tell/request a QM to do? What would that thing be?
>>
>>27251907
Play the fucking quest. This is what we wanted in the first place. We kept asking for someone to run it and now it's happening.
>>
>>27251904
The MC can have as little or as much backstory as you want, as little or as much character creation as you want. As long as you don't start with 12 posts wall-to-wall with information you're fine with whatever.
>>
>>27251907
Sob, because not only there will always be someone who does better than you, but you will never be a good writer.
Realise someone is actually making the cyoa you requested so many times, and you like it.
Forget your sadness and play your quest.
You played your part.
>>
>>27251907
Call Doxel
>>
>>27251904
Make it a choice.
Add some pros and cons maybe.
Like being a former cultist makes you better at stealth, but the cult is after you.
Being a former soldier makes you better at combat, but you have a large bounty on your head.
Being a fresh slate pirate means you get no pros or cons.

Yeah, I wasn't aiming to a huge amount of backstory. Good to know.

>>27251941
That is an interesting idea, actually... I think I could work with that, yes indeed.
>>
>>27251904
I'd go with a prewritten backstory, revealing it little by little in the first few posts, and let the players override it with their suggestions. And if they aren't creative enough to make their own choices, give them explicit route choices like >>27251941 said.

Not everything is lost. There is always hope.
Study the hijacker's writing style, copy it, practice it.
Follow the general, watch out for memes, assimilate them.
Write a short side story as a joke. Post a couple of greentexts in other threads.
Observe your quest, the plot that was developed, the characters that spawned.
Plan for a week.
Change your name.

Start a new thread.

I doubt everyone from DB will want a pony raped. Statistically speaking of course.

Happy, seems like kind of a shit show over there, I don't like a lot of the rules they have in place, I think the very idea of having a board just for quests is stifling and will ultimately discourage new players and QM's and on top of that all imagine the shitposting there'd be with a pony quest on a non-pony dedicated board.

>shitposting there'd be with a pony quest on a non-pony dedicated board.

With the amount that already happens here I don't want to imagine that.
>>
>>27252524
Pepper was raped?
>>
>>27252595
I don't think she was. However some people here are afraid she will be.
>>
>>27252542
There's several central flaws with how the board is set up that haven't been rectified. Additionally, if all quests are forced onto it then it also completely ignores how quests get players at all. That hasn't been confirmed yet.

I certainly wouldn't want any of the quests I follow get moved there.
