All of them.

None of them.

>>26791234
There are many different things to learn.
Only all of them can teach them all.

>>26791174
Required reading:
Don't Fuck up.

Worth a look:
Urban.
11-54.
Lost.
Taken.

If you have the time:
Shooting Stars
Hijack
Entrapment
Renne quest
M&M

Does it really do anything special?

>>26791252
Craft pls.
>>
>>26791278
>Does it really do anything special?
special doesn't have to mean good, I think its a good example of the pitfalls [literally] that can come with otherwise solid visual storytelling.

>>26791282
I wouldnt say you have to read the whole quest. You can get a handle on what res was doing in maybe 50-100k words. M&M on the other hand would take a much longer time to get a handle on.

>>26791298
shit, you caught me.
>>
>>26791308
It was kind of obvious.

Both Taken and Urban were on your 'worth a look' list.
>>
>>26791308
>Rescucks
>>
>>26791314
But they're both worth a look, Res is legitimately one of our best writers and encorperates almost every suggestion into the narrative.

Taken is the best example I can think of for not overstaying your welcome and keeping something short and rock solid.

If anything, RGS was an example of how something can have a bad story and yet at the same time have compelling enough characters and writing to make people stick around.

What's a hijacked quest?
>>
>>26791681
Yeah first threads pretty weak.
get to the sewers, it gets better.
>>
>>26791682
A quest that was written by one person and then later taken over by another. usually because the original authors abandons the quest.

So; Super, Vampony, Colorblind, etc.

Eh, I meant I was there participating in the first thread.
To me, Quests are interactive media. Since it's finished there's no chance I'll get to play it, so I have no motivation to read it now.

I think I've been here long enough that skipping that quest won't mean I miss much, since I do read nearly every new quest that pops up, at least for a few updates at least.

>>26791707
Some QM's work on stories that hold meaning both for playing and for reading, so maybe you could find time to reevaluate and perhaps look at some quests under another light.

So to the anons looking forward to vampony this weekend, I'm not starting today maybe because of other stuff I'd like to get done and etr.
But here's the OP pic for it to wet your palette.

Also, I was thinking about drawing a few moments in the story every now and then too.
I know it's a text quest though so if you don't want me to do that then I won't.
Would probably make updates take ten times longer anyway but still any pony drawing practice is good practice.
>>
>>26791722
>>26791753
Well, I've had this view since I was trying to read both Shooting Stars and RenneQuest about a year ago.

SS was on Hiatus, but was probably gonna come back, while RenneQuest was old and done. Despite me enjoying the story of Renne better, knowing it was done sapped all my motivation from reading it, while I still really wanted to catch up on SS so I could play in the next thread.

I also stopped trying to catch up on RGS because I knew it would end before I ever got to play. I only got to the section right before the botched ambush of the convoy.

Anyway, I've been QMing for a while now, and no one has told me to eat shit and stop so I assume I'm at least adequate.
>>
>>26791804
That's the nice thing about a text-based quest, that not all the updates are dependent on the art of the QM, do it at your own pace and practice your wing anatomy
>>
>>26791804
More art is always better in my book.
>>
>>26791804
Just do art if you feel like it i'm not against idea of doing some art mid quest but that will slow down updates obviouslly. So see you tomorrow then i'll be paying attention

So would you announce up front that the quest was going to constantly kick you in the nads and have a smaller initial playerbase, or would you just keep screwing people over until they caught on and had a mass exodus?

i might make it be like when a pony die they become a spirit that ponies can't see and the grim ripper help them to go forward to the afterlife where they go to what every pony heaven is. The head ripper hire a bunch of ponies to help him/her to send the spirits to the afterlife because after a war there a lot of lost spirits to take care of and need ponies to help with the work load as well as taking care of the new spirit that are appearing. i'm still trying to think of a better lore

It depends on where the current 11-54 thread ends up if the players start getting really close to an ending I might just keep making 11-54 threads until it's done. If we end up not moving that far then I'll attempt to run a Semantic Error thread after the current 11-54 installment.

>>26793755
Remind s me of a picture I drew once. I did like Nadine, and if I ran Entrapment it's full planed length she would have had a better chance of survival. Of course, meeting her in the arena would have taken 3 more days of fighting in the arena and more days in between that in game time for training, character interaction and equipment upgrades. All of this for what was supposed to be a CYOA combat test.

We could turn up the worse case scenario on that if we were feeling particularly sadistic.

Joy could be killed trying to protect Emerald from getting caught again while Ruby got kidnapped or killed too.

Then Emerald get's raped multiple times before getting turned back over to his step parents.

Harvest.
>>
>>26794628
>Then Emerald get's raped multiple times
I thought you people wanted sex. How is this worst case?
>>
>>26794660
Because Emerald is/was a rape victim by his step-parents. We prefer for Emerald to have sex on mostly his terms.
>>
>>26794628
So the only major change in emeralds life is Joy gets killed? Sounds okay.
>>
>>26794660
Getting raped is a terrible thing. Sex should be loving gentle sex,(or even rough sex as long as the participant likes that kinda thing).

I don't know about you, but getting things crammed into a hole that isn't at least 90 percent ready to take it hurts. Now imagine multiple ponies one after another. And there is mental baggage that'd go with experiencing it, too, not just physical pain.

I forgot to mention Hope too, she could get caught while doing her help mercy stuff and be made into a sex slave.

>>26794674
Exactly.

>>26794685

You could make the argument that we are simply planting a mental suggestion into his head. So technically it is still his consent in the end.

I know from playing that he does not always go with what we suggest.
>>
>>26794754
It's complicated. But Emerald agreed to be a prostitute for Joyride if it meant she in turn we teach him the powers needed to take down his step-parents.

I never said Emerald had a clean bill of mental health or sound judgement.

>>
>>26794800

Eh I'm not sure what you are implying anon. I'm saying that decision was not likely a sound one is all. Yes he does have a high int score and he is indeed a child. A sad fact to be sure given his circumstances. And yes children are and have been prostitutes.

>>26794788

It's fine if you feel that way. We wont know for sure how exactly the amulet works until probably the grand reveal.

We are playing a not so moral quest by the way. It is /ss/ after all.
>>
>>26794754
Well anon, sometimes people deal with things by doing the very thing that caused em pain. Kinda like how some rape victims make jokes about it. Or people that nearly drowned jump into water to conquer their fear.

But obviously that wouldn't work with everyone, so it's a person to person thing.

It's just his way of coping. And doing it in an environment where he get's a say in what's happening could be therapeutic.

Besides, I still wanna see if we can't help him deal with any demons hiding in his head later.

>>26794766
>>26794786
Yeah.

>>26794788
Depends on how you wanna look at it. I'm pretty sure there is a plethora of things that could be applied to, sexual or not.

The only "technicality" here is that we aren't literally forcing him to do it. Just suggesting it.

I wouldn't even be for this if he seemed pained to be doing it and or reluctant.

>>26794800
He grew up whether or not he wanted to. He is smart, what's your point?
>>
>>26794737

I think I remember you. Are you still playing the cyoa by the way? I think you mention once about planning on writing a green text version of the story.
>>
>>26794737
It isn't explicitly stated we are forcing him to do anything. I don't know where you are getting this idea from.
>>
>>26794886
I think it's because Joy first described the amulet as a mind control device...
>>
>>26794754
... yeah? That happens sometimes. Are you under the impression that everyone that was sexually abused hates sex?
>>
>>26794886

>>
>>26794912
>>26794943
I'm getting conflicting statements here.
>>
>>26794943
Its less about being dense and more that they're uncomfortable with the truth so they deny it as much as possible. It's like oil companies denying global warming, they've got contradictory interests.
>>
>>26794899
Fic even said we can't suggest he'd do something super OOC or stupidly brazen to the point of where it'd get him killed.

I honestly don't remember her saying that. If anything I think that's what she was suspicious of. Fic hasn't shown signs of it being being straight up MC.

You have made me think of something interesting. I'm like 90 percent sure he can choose to keep the amulet on or of if he wants, so I wonder what'd happen if he left it off for a while.

Doing things without it on then should go distances to dispel the notion that we are mind controlling him.


>>26794943
Oh? And what is your contrary evidence? I'd be willing to listen if you think you have a point and can prove it. Until then, refrain from calling people dense when you have yet to prove yourself any better.

You know, since you're so smart 'n all.

I've read the whole thing, up until what is current now. You want me to believe you, then you provide me with evidence, or at least give me some samples with some reasoning behind it.

As far as I remember,(which I might just read through old stuff again for the hell of it) there has been no explicit signs we are directly controlling him. At most it seems like subtle suggestions.

>>26794993
I didn't mean to type that twice, what I meant to say was: Fic hasn't shown signs of it being unabashedly conclusive to Mind Control.

>using the db links
wew
>>
>>26795049

Even so, we wont know for sure unless it gets revealed as such. I'm fine with it being suggestions and I'm also fine with it being mind control because I like grimdark twists.

Now what I want to know is if you are still planning writing your own version of CQ. I remember you mentioning that you wanted to depict Hope as more motherly and I was curious to see how that would turn out.
>>
>>26795049
But... Why would you assume something if there isn't glaring evidence of it?

All she said was that it seems to be a demonic soul bound into the pendant,(heh, anon is the ultimate evil demon). That does suggest multiple things, but none of them are true without some compelling evidence.

And then she asked him if he felt like he was being controlled,(we're not even gonna get into how meta that whole damn statement is) and he said he didn't feel like he was. Being controlled would be doing something he didn't mean to do and then wondering why he did it.

From what I gathered it COULD be something swaying his decisions, but nothing is said that it is. Is it possible? Of course it is, but until I get proven wrong, i'm not gonna assume it is.

If you want to that's fine.

I like Emerald and I want to see him happy. I'd personally never deliberately do something I think he would not like.
