Well, Thanksgiving has kept me from posting here all day, but that's okay: Now I have time to type up those other CYOA ideas I had. Comedy was the most-requested genre for a new game in my last strawpoll, but adventure was a close second. And as it turns out, most of my remaining ideas were of that genre. Have a look and a vote, if you please:
Star Swirl Quest: A young Star Swirl has to travel from his peasant village to the unicorn capital while avoiding dangerous beasts, rogue bands of ponies, and the untamed wilderness, surviving on his wits and his magic alone.
Pony's Island: Dragons and ponies don't usually get along very well. But when disaster strikes and sends a newborn wyrm plummeting into a Canterlot citizen's window, the pony takes it upon him/herself to return the hatchling to its parents - by travelling across Equestria and into the heart of the badlands.
Grand Rounds: After nearly a decade of study and hard work, you've finally graduated medical school and earned your license. Your first job is to help these ponies at a local hospital. Your second job? Well, we just brought in this old stallion with an unidentified virus...
Purpose: You've been constructed for a simple reason: Centuries from now, disaster will strike, and you must prevent it. But to ensure your success, you must follow three rules. One, let no harm come to life in Equestria. Two, never stray from your course. Three, you may not rest until your job is done.
Copii de Noapte: In the years following Nightmare Moon's banishment, a cult devoted to reviving her early came into being, siphoning small amounts of her magic and using it to plague the countryside with fearsome creatures. Soon, the stars will be aligned just right to allow Nightmare Moon to be freed. You are the only pony with the power to purge her dark army and stop her return.I swear there's no more after this. Probably.

until the story reached a point of bathroom sex and lewd
I decided to not have sex, because we would be gay
And as the drama quiclky came, the thread faded away
>>25562918
Nice rhymes, you nerd.
So, I just watched 'Jurassic World' and at some point while watching I thought to myself, "this movie would scare the shit out of Spearmint or at least bring back bad memories".
So it got me thinking what other movies shouldn't be shown to other CYOA pones?
What films would cause which ponies to have painful flashbacks.
>>25562571
Yeah, somehow I doubt that one would be full of cute little colts and fillies.

Hey guys. I'm going to start a Spartacusesque CYOA in a few hours. I wanted to know if it would OK for me to put characters from entrapment in my story, like Nadine and Sunny Days?
>>25564321
Do I know you?
>>25564321
Oh! I know who you are!
I recognize your style
You're Coltshan
>>25564321
I believe the best thing to do is ask Bath.
Personally I'd like to see Sunny left be since she got best end after all that shit.
>>25561699
>try fuck one thing fuck make much dead
>>25564321
I'd say leave them alone. It'd be cruel to drag Sunny through anymore horrible combat situations.
>>25564434
And that's exactly why he should do it.
>>25564321
What, you're so retarded that you can't even make up your own characters, but have to take others from other CYOAs?

Since I told Vamp to die, knowing I could always simply start a new thread, I was going to do that tonight.
However I forgot that this computer lacks the OP images I was going to use, specifically some that were made in this thread a while back.
There was one that was a take on pc related that I really wanted to use.
If someone could post that, I'd be very appreciative.

This really is more than enough proof that your CYOA will almost never be talked about here unless it has autistic batshit in it.

You mind mind if I rub these fries on you?
>>25564321
You're certainly welcome to use any of my characters, which goes for anyone really, but I'm not sure why you'd want to use Sunny Days or Nadine. Both of them were effectively slaves for about a week before Springvale was attacked and in that time Sunny went to the bath house once and Nadine killed about 5 of 8 ponies in the arena. Neither of them really had that much impact on anything really.
So if you have some really good reason to do so, go for it but if they're just going to be in the story for namesake then I'm going to warn you that it's not really going to help much of anything.

Why can't coltshan just talk to a QM.
Why must he bumble around.
>>25567100
Talking to a QM wouldn't help much. You have to understand the format and Coltshan just randomly stumbled upon us and seems to have not participated in a single quest.
>>25567100
>Why can't coltshan just give up for good
FTFY
Who will take Coltshan under his wing?
>>25567149
Read the suggestions so far, it's off to a good start. Might be enjoyable for a while.
who exactly was Coltshan again? I tend to forget or mix up the names of QMs I didn't follow
So has colt said that his quest is about recovering your kingdom from an occupying force yet?

>>25566822I admire his spirit. I think he'll be a great QM in due time. But yeah, he could really use a helping hand.
>>25567100
He's been given a lot of legitimate constructive criticism from some QMs hanging around, but it remains to be seen if he's finally understood any of it.
Still, it doesn't look categorically terrible from the start, so it's possible he's trying to change things. I'm glad there's still people willing to play his CYOAs and give him a chance though. And I'm sure if it starts sucking, they won't hesitate to let him know.

Oh yeah, Threshold is running. I always forget.
>>25569730
Oh shit, thanks for reminding me, anon.
Damn you guys really fucked up Dandy.
>>25569796
What'd they do?
>>25569819
Said "you've died repeatedly" despite previous hints the players have said.
>>25569828
You don't fucking tell him that. That just brings up terrible questions of existence and continuity. And encourages stupidly reckless behavior. IIRC the players don't have complete control right?
>>25569850
>You don't fucking tell him that.
Too late to say that now buddy.
>>25569850
We'd had the same discussions before but he only reacted to it today...
>>25569850
No they do not have full control.
It also harms the relationship between the anons and Dandy. Since, you know, they've let him die three times.
>>25569796
He's fine. He's a big pony, he'll get over it.
>>25569908
>Just listen to us, you've only died three times so far!
>>25569907
There's a few factors that can affect how Dandy responds to you guys. First, he needs to hear what you say. He sort of gets bombarded with most of your instructions at once, so it can be hard to make everything out when a lot of you guys respond in different ways. Second, he's more likely to reply when he's not busy, or focused on something else.
