Correct me if I'm wrong, but the billy meme originated in the general due to a misspelling my Hijacker, the thief pone that Hijacker uses started because of the memes from the general, and certainly Choosie came from the general. So it's purely general memes.

Hey guys, just another status update cuz I feel I haven't kept you informed:

I should be free to run this Saturday. I've been a bit too busy to run a proper session as of late, so I apologize for the hiatus.
I plan on running one more thread of AtO before I have to take a break for about two weeks. I'm moving to an apartment soon and I'll need some time time to get things squared away.
I already have the next cover image ready, so I should be ready to roll this weekend. till then!

Pic related. Had some coon trouble yesterday. Bath did this awesome doodle of it.

CQ players have done it once again. Ya, let's just go ahead and ignore the potential possibility of having a cute demon pone companion like in JAD.

All we've done is just avoid risks all together and make the quest boring, which ultimately results in railroaded conflicts to keep it going. This "don't do anything, it's gonna absolutely kill us" mentality is way out of hand.
>>
>>27608899
If I recall, there were people complaining about not accepting a demon companion in CQ like two weeks ago, too.

Just how slow is this quest?
>>
>>27608914
The QM had some life things going on at the time I think, so not much progress has been made. All we accomplished is getting ourselves nearly killed again and annoying the undead leader even more.

Because walking in dark rooms with killer ghosts and eavesdropping the ones we trust is a more logical thing to do than trying to talk to a demon that just wants to get out from being trapped in a book.
>>
>>27608899
considering what type of quest it is (and i don't mean lewd), does it really surprise you the type of players you get?

Ya, kinda ran into that, but there's just so much wasted potential in this quest that could actually make it FUN instead of running away all the time. Though the players would rather keep running than to laugh at death straight in the face.

I mean, who could be afraid of this pone here?

Well, we sorta need her due to the fact that Emerald encounters a monster or some conflict around nearly every corner.

She's already asked us to get the souls of other people for her in exchange for information.

>>27609332
She chose that form because it's the one that suits her the most for this environment.

She said we can get her a soul OR she'll do just about anything to simply be freed from the book.

She can't possess us. We're already claimed by a demon much more powerful than her and she's afraid to tell us who it is.

The longer we are with them the less I trust them.

Both times we had a chance to finally learn the truth about the amulet and our past. Both from the demon and from listening in on Joy's and LS conversation. And both times the players wimped out! Because they were afraid...
>>
>>27609460
True, everything is literally falling apart around us in this quest, like how Hope went silent.

I'm seriously starting to think that Pip is the most trustworthy one here for information.
>>
>>27609486
>I'm seriously starting to think that Pip is the most trustworthy one here for information.

Maybe but we might have messed up that chance as well. We never finalized the deal where she would give us info for freeing her, and now that Ruby is about to free her why would the demon tell us anything?
>>
>>27607766

any link to club?
>>
>>27609511
Ya, all we can do now is get Ruby out of the way and free her ourselves.

But once again, it's a perfect example of how the players like to waste opportunities and make everything ten times harder than it should be.

I asked them once why they didn't want to speak to Pip and all I got was "she's a demon, demons are evil" over and over again. Basically it's all just assumptions and prejudging..
>>
>>27609545
>But once again, it's a perfect example of how the players like to waste opportunities and make everything ten times harder than it should be

Which is why more people need to voice what they want Emerald to do. That way a small vocal group of players don't derail or divert a quest.

What'd he do?

>>27609936

From I understand he's been trying to make amends. Or so he says.

How long has he been banned? It can't have been more than a couple of weeks. He was there the last time i was in the club. Seemed mostly quiet. Talking about Quake 2 or something.
>>
>>27609964
Less than a month. He was banned for being incapable of understanding that you can't upload quests without permission. Alchemy and Doxel thought that he could be reasoned with or at least talked into doing less damage. Everyone else just wanted him to go fuck himself.

The majority won.
>>
>>27609981
But he was there several times after that little exchange. Seemed calm to me. I don't know, it seems a bit harsh to perma ban him for just that.

Besides hasn't been asking others permission now? I know he's asked Bath.
>>
>>27609996

I'd rather not talk about it but since it's being discussed anyway...

It was more of a matter of miscommunication. He told me not to upload repeats and so I didn't. Then he told me not to the combat one's. So I didn't. I stuck to unique images/edits/and fanart.

What I didn't understand was he didn't want FQ stuff uploaded. So I agreed. But uploaded one last piece anyway as it was almost all done being tagged.

Boy, that was stupid and even more dumb was my excuse at the time.

>>27610108

Yes, he did that. And at the time it made me furious that what should have been a small private discussion was made public by screencaping and sharing it.


Anyway I know you all don't like me or want to hear from me so I'll be going.

And yes I do ask permission these days.
>>
Okay, so for the three, maybe four, people that still paid attention to JAD, I suppose I owe an apology/explanation for the delays.

Well, its not much of an explanation, I've just been busy. Whole reason I'm retiring from the qm'ing trade is because I don't have enough time right now to do it so, surprise surprise, it's tricky finding enough time to run the last few sessions of JAD.

On the bright side, it's pretty much just epilogue time at this point - wrapping things up as best I can at this point. I'll see what I can do this weekend.

The psker story:
After Nips asked him to stop uploading foal quest,Psker realized that there might be people who aren't okay with him uploading stuff to cancer central.
In best /CYOA/ manner he blamed secret club and came there to try to convince them of his way.
Since in his view this was irrational and must stem from a personal dislike against him.

So he went to the secret club with the intent to work with the guys there.
Some people called him a shithead, others tried to reason with him.

He refused to explain any of the points people asked him about.
Some of which where:
Why did he kept uploading pictures of Foal Quest after Nips asked him to stop.
He should not only ask the QMs but also the players before uploading.
He seemed to be more concerned about HIS work in this uploading business, than the credit of the QM or the benefit of the Quest.
Cluttering up the CYOA tag on derpy with stories that can be found on Anonpone, which unlike Derpy is actually an archive.
Claiming to promote quest despite the only active quest he uploads is CQ.
Still not reading Hijack.

>Since in his view this was irrational and must stem from a personal dislike against him.

I didn't starting off, but after the lengths people went on derpi to bother me. I couldn't help but feel that way.

>Why did he kept uploading pictures of Foal Quest after Nips asked him to stop.

Miscommunication. Like I said. He told me not to upload specific things and I complied. He did not get the point across that he didn't want any of FQ uploaded until later.

>He should not only ask the QMs but also the players before uploading.

Can't do that. That would only serve to disrupt the cyoa in the active thread and cause fights. It's easier and simpler to ask the Quest Master themselves since it is their creations.

>He seemed to be more concerned about HIS work in this uploading business, than the credit of the QM or the benefit of the Quest.

Not true. Only started talking about what I have to do to properly tag and upload them when I was being accused of being lazy. To clarify I tag the artist, the cyoa, make notation of who is the creator, and provide a link back to the source.

>Cluttering up the CYOA tag on derpy with stories that can be found on Anonpone, which unlike Derpy is actually an archive.

Derpi is a archive as well and the most well known one in the fandom.

>Claiming to promote quest despite the only active quest he uploads is CQ.

I can only promote the quests that I have time to and am allowed to do so. Given that derpi is a image archive it's a given that cyoa will be image based. As for CQ it's active, I play it, and is one of the few I'm seemingly allowed to upload.

>Still not reading Hijack.

not really. quest heavily rely on player input. for instance let's say a qm decided to take away a character. players on the other hand will say to keep them around because of x reason and ask questions the qm never even thought about and is able to give more depth.

Alright, /cyoa/ I think I'm in trouble

The thing is, I wanna start a new cyoa which will involve an alicorn MC and also a heavy system with stats

The story would be about the 4th child of the royal family of a land which is NOT equestria, but more like a random realm in a fantasy setting.
However, at the king’s death and against all odds, his last will was to split the kingdom in four pieces among all his children, forcing you to become the ruler of a small realm.
The story will be about bringing your country to prosperity and glory, through any mean the players would see fit.
For that, the players will be able to manage: the economy, the military, the magical academy, the spies to perform various missions, as well which events to participate in to make sure their relation with the foreign countries, but also the nobles and people of their country, remains as they should be.

To help them, players will be able to choose a First advisor, a General, and a Spymaster among the former advisors of the former king which all have different specialities and drawbacks.

The story usually go like this.
Taking decisions for the month to come for the different important structures of the kingdom, but also the MC and the advisors.
Once this is settled, we skip to a highlight moment of the month, which will be more like a classic CYOA where you meet new people, talk and do a bunch of things. Usually, a particular event will demand you to react immediately to something happening in front of your eyes and it will have repercussion on you, on you reputation, or something like that.
Once the event is done, the end of the month come and you get the results of what you did this month and other various news from your kingdom but also from all around the world, and then it’s time decide what to do for the next month.
>>
>>27613706
That’s the basics, now, the real fun begins
The main gimmick of the story will be the World Crown
You and all your siblings wear a part of this legendary item which made your father a king form nothing
This wondrous item, when worn, creates an empathic bond between the ruler and his country, allowing the ruler’s personality, but also strength and knowledge, to directly affect his people. Which mean that for example, simply training yourself in the arts of battle will be enough to substantially increase your army’s strength. The abilities you share are grouped into three stats: strength for the army and authorities, intelligence for the wizards and the spies and charisma for the merchants and diplomats.

There’s three points to this item
- First, it allow to “realistically” have features of the kingdom drastically change in a matter of months, making the management a lot less boring and allowing for quicker reactions to country related problems
- Second, it allows me to tone down the paranoia a real ruler in such a situation would experience. Indeed, the crown allows the ruler to immediately see people who aren’t loyal to him thanks to the empathic bond with people, makinf high treachery impossible. For the same reason, wounds which should be fatal will only decrease the strength of the country a little, as the wound is shared and diluted among thousands of people in the land. I don’t want to play on Princess Maker difficulty. That also why the MC would be an alicorn, as the crown make him share the feature of the unicorns, pegasus and earth ponies living in the kingdom
- And third, the crown, by its tremendous powers, will be an important part of the plot and allow for interesting development which go beyond a simple strategy games. All its powers will not be revealed from the start.

So, that’s for the big lines… thoughts?

>>27613706
If you need 4K words to explain your CYOA, chances are that /mlp/ won't like it-- we are more for story-oriented cyoas here.
/tg/ may like it, as their culture favours systems more.
>>
>>27613706
>alicorn MC
Hmm. Difficult to do well, but I'll give it a chance.
>heavy system with stats
Dropped irrevocably. I will still read the rest of your pitch, though.
>setting
Actually sounds like fun. Too bad about the system, otherwise I'd play this.
>>27613715
The crown sounds cool, but I would much rather we found out about it through the quest rather then you just info dumping that all here in one go.

Sounds interesting and I wish you the best with it, but I won't be playing it because of the system thing. I'd rather play an anonfilly/nyx dual cyoa run by lurker.
>>
>>27613774
How do you make a cyoa about rulling a country without a system?
>>
>>27613805
With good writing and a ton of notes.
>>
>>27613805
By throwing shit at the ruler and expecting he will figure it out I guess.
>>
>>27613706
>>27613715
You need to strip this down to it's basics

A cyoa about ruling a country might be fun, but the strength of running a game on 4chan is letting anons run wild with your setting and characters. Don't constrain them with too much systems. Use a system in the background to keep things fair and random, sure, but hide it from the players.
>>
>>27613805
He said a heavy system with stats. I dislike playing quests like that. I'm not saying that a heavy system with stats isn't a legitimate way to make simulating a country easier, but it is a way that I don't want to play. Anything you can do with systems you can do narratively (if you are good at narrative) and anything you can do narratively you can do with systems (if you are good with systems).

I'm not bashing systems, they are just something that isn't for me.
>>
>>27613836
>>27613837
>>27613847
I was thinking about putting elements one at a time
The first month, the advisors will take care of almost everything and only let the organization of a social event to teh player. The next month they'll be deal with trades and economy. Next month the spies... ect
I guess I'm still gonna try it tomorrow arter the episode

Feel free to come in with no expectation an leave with a good surprise, I'll try to make the system as light as possible

Good by, my beloverd hexagonal tiles

>>27613903

I've mentioned it before, but I really think that it's Dr. Lodestone from Cyborg. He spent the entire quest saving lives, healing the crippled with cybernetics, and undoing the damage of an insane filly-raping cannibal cult leader who chopped ponies up and sewed them back together as monsters. And what did Lodestone say when he met the guy in person?
"Once I have saved everyone you hurt and undone all the damage you caused, I will make sure that you are given the psychological help you so obviously need."
That guy went over and beyond on being the good guy.
