Hey FicFic!
Guess who drew a Emerald Jewel?https://derpibooru.org/1135790
>>27135582
Annoyed, Emerald walks over to the door on the other side of the reception area and opens it up, peering inside.
It's a spiral staircase going straight up. Emerald forgot about the tall steeple that he saw from outside. This is probably it right here.
What does Emerald do?
Aw yea! Continuing now! I love emerald. No idea why. And I'm a man. Not gay. Or least ill deny it.
Emerald should try looking around other buildings after night and see if someone may have a dragon fire lamp. Then he can write to joyride if she's not dead.
>>27135613
Holy shit, Pokehidden is still ALIVE?
>>27135624
Send a message in a bottle
>>27135624
Give those boxes a quick checkover then make you way up the stairs, I wanna see how good the view is from up there.
>>27135624
Check the boxes and bottles. Go upstairs to see where it leads.
>>27135641
Congrats FicFic. Apparently your cyoa has even caught his attention.
>>27135641
Well the guy's name is Pokefound. Not sure if it's really him or not. But still congrats.
>>27135641
Your Cyoa revived pokehidden
>>27135728
Not to burst your bubble, but was an anon commission. Which I still think would be flattering in itself, but that suggests that he only did it cause someone payed him to.
>>27135773
True, but still he drew it! He posted it! He had to look it up to get refs!
>>27135773
But the points is... everbody loves Esmerald Jewel
>>27135787
Well idk, maybe i'm just assuming, but you made it sound like he found it and drew that for it. And besides the anon might of just given him refs anyways. That's not to say he hates it or anything.
>>27135796
Not everyone. And that's ok, cause I like Emerald anyways and I don't care if some anon doesn't like Emerald or the quest cause that doesn't impact me in an way, shape, or form.
>>27135624
check those boxes and bottles then peak up the spiral staircase to see if there's anything worth seeing up there.
>>27135713
>>27135720
>>27135843
Emerald checks the boxes at the base of the stairs. They are just full of more party supplies, like napkins, utensils, etc.... The vases are empty however, but Emerald assumes they would probably also be used during some sort of event.
Emerald makes his way up the winding staircase until he comes to the top.
Up here is a small room with nothing more than an empty table, a chair, a window, and a cord that looks like it goes up to a bell connected to the top of the steeple.
Oh yeah, and a corpse.
What does Emerald do?
>>27135949
Do a perception check on that corpse ASAP and slowly back away.
>>27135949
Fucking son of a bitch I woulda almost pissed myself if I were him.
Take a quick peek at the corpse to see if you can discern what happened to the poor pony. After you calm down long enough for your heart dislodges itself from your throat.
>>27135949
take the napkins we can use that for our mighty fire.
>>27135949
On second thought it looks like their eyes are missing? Christ.
>>27135986
>>27135949
The corpse looks like he was tied to the chair. This looks really bad.
>>27135949
Examine the corpse
>>27135949
Wait, does that corpse's head look like it's in mid turn?
>>27136005
It doesn't look tied there to me. I don't see ropes going around the arm of the chair. Unless i'm just blind as that corpse there.
>>27136022
It could be, but to me it looks more like it's just in the process of looking out the window. I'm assuming they got surprised by whatever killed them. Poor soul.
>>27135949
Emerald calm yourself. It's only another corpse right? Give the room a brief looksee and head back down and start grabbing stuff.
>>27135971
>>27136018
>>27136065
Emerald starts to look around the room to see if there is anything useful and as he does the corpse...
Turns to look at Emerald.
"Huh? Is it time to switch shifts al-"
The corpse starts, but then stops mid-sentence in surprise.
>Dex Check
>Rolled 2, Passed
The corpse seems to be surprised and confused and Emerald's appearance, and Emerald is just shocked and horrified and the dead body now talking to him, however he seems to recover first from the shock.
What does Emerald do?
>>27136102
If it's intelligent enough for speech, we might be able to reason with it.
>>27136102
Ask him... "You are dead?"
Remember Folks, Emerald Jewel's future is what we make it.
https://youtu.be/9doT02nWzSM?t=1m35s
>>27136102
"Hello?" Try to sound brave and not scared by the talking dead horse.
>>27136102
Cautious ready to defend ourself and try to reason with the zombie.
>>27136102
Ask them if the individual who revived them is anywhere nearby. But let's be quick about our questions, we need to leave soon. We don't want to lose track of the time.
>>27136022
Good call anon. Apparently they were in the process of turning around.
>>27136102
Ask them if they know what happened to all the ponies in this place.
>>27136102
Ask him who are you? what is this place? Why are you alive? and if there are more like you? Do perception check on each answer. Keep the weapon raised for a possible attack.
>>27136102
Cautiously raise your weapon to defend yourself and demand answers. Try to be brave.
>>27136102
Say hi and ask where are we.
>>27136102
Hmm.. interesting, this guy isn't a cyborg either... maybe the straits have a war between classic undead and the cyborg undead.
>>27136385
That's... An interesting suggestion. And that could certainly explain why the squid looked the way it did, while the zombie there doesn't look mechanical at all.
>>27136139
>>27136141
>>27136156
>>27136173
>>27136189
>>27136208
>>27136222
>>27136327
>>27136335
>>27136385
>>27136408
Emerald asks the undead who he is, and what this place is.
The corpse seems to regain it's senses and says,
"Uh... E-err..."
Your question seems to bring the undead back to his sense. The corpse then grabs the nearby rope and begins tugging on it hard, causing the bell to ring loudly.
"I-Intruder! Lady Elegance, I need help!"
What does Emerald do?
>>27136428
Well, so much for that. RUN!
>>27136428
Cover our ears before we go deaf and stumble down stairs.
>>27136428
Fucking hell we shoulda just left. I just thought they would be reasonable enough maybe we could ask some questions, RUN.
I wanted to suggest just backing out and bolting down the stairs, but I thought maybe we could talk.
Just run a bit carefully, wouldn't want to fall down the stairs.
Damn curiousity. We shouldn'ta even came up here.
>>27136428
Dang it I had a feeling he was going to reach for the bell.
>>27136428
Time to book it! Maybe we can hide somewhere in the ruins, like the stone tower we haven't visited yet.
>>27136428
Hey, maybe they're those friendly cults that like to offer a delicious punch to all those goers? They can't be that bad?
>>27136504
Unless we can find a good place in the ruins to hide in,(like somewhere in a building that only we can get into we might even want to consider running out of the village.
We could even hide up in a tree or something, Emerald climbed up one on the way to the village didn't he?
>>27136428
I never wanted to come up here. I wanted to BURN this place. Now we're fucked. Remember that undead mechanical Emerald last thread? Enjoy.
>>27136428
>>27136529
But seriously, I imagine running down the steps will do nothing but bring us closer to whoever he's alerting, we might as well wait what's coming to us
>>27136546
To the outpost!
>>27136571
Have faith. Maybe we can still win this yet!
>>27136428
We shoulda bashed his head in immediately. Fuck. Push spell him down so he quits ringing that shit, then run back to our tower thing and pull up the ladder
>>27136428
Use the push spell to shove him against the wall (non lethally) to get him to stop.
>>27136571
Relax would yah? We can still salvage this. He woulda started ringing the bell anyways, especially since the place would of been on fire. I do admit that i'm kicking myself in the ass for this curiousity though.
>>27136585
They'd have to be pretty close by to get there before we can get down the stairs, let alone out of the place.
>>27136597
I do believe we can still too.
>>27136606
I think it'd waste even more time to do that, he's already ringing the bell enough to alert whatever he's gonna alert.
>>27136652
The only thing I'm kicking myself over is the fact we didn't pin him to the wall with our push magic before he could reach the rope.
>>27136691
Before I would of said that would of been a bit hasty, but now I totally agree. At the very least some answers would of been nice. If they even have any. I saw the rope too, but I didn't even think much of it after seeing it.
>>27136428
.....M-maybe we should threaten to burn the book if we get cornered? They p-probably value it a lot.
>>27136834
We should probably only use that as a last resort. For now we must ran and hide! Perhaps somewhere in the woods or beach.
>>27136839
Why not the outpost?
>>27136839
Only problem with the beach though, is there isn't much of anywhere to hide there.
How the fuck did that zombie not see us and ring the bell well before we even got into the building? They were looking right out the window!
>>27136861
It's gonna be hard just to even GET to the beach. Since they sounded the alarm, this whole town and surrounding areas will probably come to life. Dead creatures appearing left and right.
>>27136849
Cause of the fact that it's in such ruins that It might be fairly easy to see him up there.
>>27136428
Hurry maybe we can hide in one of the buildings!
>>27136834
>threaten to burn the book
with what fire
>>27136876
More difficult than getting a colt lost in the woods of cornered on the beach.
>>27136886
Like an outpost which can only be accessed by a movable ladder.
>>27136890
Hmm, good point. We should just throw it down the well instead.
>>27136899
That might work for regular undead but what about a lich lord or a dark wizard?
>>27136899
So they'll just wait it out until em comes down. He can't stay up there forever.
>>27136875
Maybe, but that's a bit assumptuous. Unless they are in the ground we would of seen some at the very least. There of course could be some somewhat close. But not close enough that we saw them.
>>27136894
Depends on how much time we have till someone or something shows up.
>>27136910
Maybe we'd get lucky and they wouldn't know he's up there. Otherwise we're gonna wanna bolt to the woods and hide in a tree when they are out of sight.
>>27136910
If they're that powerful then would running or hiding be of any use?
>>27136925
And what other options are there?
>>27136933
Even if we make it to the beach, what then?
>>27136952
>Even if we make it to the beach, what then?
Find someplace to hide.
>>27136952
At this point we can only guess what's gonna happen. I don't even know how much time we have till something or someone shows up. We'll have to figure out what to do in the next update.
>If they're that powerful then would running or hiding be of any use?
We don't know unless we try.
>And what other options are there?
We can fight, we can try diplomacy, or we can try the book.
>>27136966
The ocean? Under the sand? A random plot hole?
>>27136978
And we can try all of that from the outpost.
Maybe we can try the book after all. Who knows, maybe it might actually help us.
>>27136428
If it looks like we are going to get caught then we might want to hide that book somewhere so they won't be able to get it off us.
>>27136428
Zombie seems scared, even though Emerald means no harm.
Better safe than sorry I guess.
>>27137005
Either this, or do the same with the key.We should shove the key in our ass.
>>27137005
Why allow ourself to get caught when running is still an option. We could also hide in the outpost to give ourself some breathing room.
>>27136590
>>27136597
>>27136606
>>27136633
>>27136652

>>27136899
(last of the night.)
Emerald quickly casts a push spell to get the zombie away from the bell. It causes the corpse to keel over backwards.
Emerald doesn't stick around long enough to see what he does when he gets up. The colt sprints down the stairs, only stopping with something when he collides with something near the entrance to the church.
Emerald looks up to see the shriveled face of the creature that was in the tomb below.
"What the- Hey, wait! Stop!" The creature cries as Emerald bolts past him.
In his terror, Emerald runs toward the outpost. As he does the soil around him seems to burst up as hooves claw their way to the surface as creatures of half-skeleton, half-decayed flesh appear.
Emerald quickly climbs up the ladder to the outpost and attempts to unhinge the ladder from it's holdings, but he isn't strong enough. So instead he hides himself the best he can while still staring out over the edge of the building.
The undead seem to be confused, and a few of them form groups and begin to talk, but after a few seconds a mighty roar comes from the tower in the center of the town, and a creature unlike anything Emerald has seen yet bounds out towards the undead.
it's entirely bone, and wearing what looks to be a leather cape of some kind. It has the skull of a pony, but that's where the similarities end. The skull has horns, and the body seems to be that of some giant clawed creature with a stinging tail.
One of the corpses approaches the creatures and says,
"Lady Elegance, what is going on?"
"I was hoping you could tell me that." The creature says, in a surprisingly womanly voice.
The undead from the steeple comes running out of the church and says,
"M'lady! I saw an intruder!"
The monster named Lady Elegance snarls and says, "Search the town, and a few of you fan out into the forest, he couldn't have gone far. Capture him if you can."
What does Emerald do?
>>27137005
No if we get cornered we threaten to put our knife through the book. That's the only thing I can think of, hiding it will get us tortured
>>27137032
HIDE!!
>>27137032
we are so @!$#^&
>>27137032
>M'lady
Well, these zombies were worse than we thought. Also, she only said for a few to search the forest while everyone else searches the town. Let's get out of this town.
Also, we should keep the book because Joyride will probably have some insight on it.
>>27137032
Do a perception check on what's best way to get out of the outpost and into the woods without being seen.
>>27137032
>M'lady
>>27137032
Fuck me I don't know
The outpost is next to the woods, are the people looking for us using any light sources? Maybe we could watch them make a sweep and move into the woods when they seem clear of the area immediately next to the woods.
Let's quietly take all the paper that you said was up here, too. Kindling for our bonfire.
>>27137032
Doesn't she look like that thing from the church?
>>27137067
>>27137087
I think we'd be seen if we try to leave the outpost.
>>27137111
immediately next to the outpost*
English, man.
>>27137032
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yP4u8QYJmO0
>>27137117
Then we should create a distraction. Quick, throw out some ideas.
>>27137032
Just stay low and hope for the best. An invisibilty potion that we don't have right now would be really handy...
>"What the- Hey, wait! Stop!" The creature cries as Emerald bolts past him.
My curiousity wants to know what they had to say, but I don't even begin to fault Emerald for not wanting stick around and find out. Stupid bell ringing zombie.
>>27137036
I think this might be a good idea, though hopefully it doesn't even come to that point, cause if we are at that point we're probably fucked.
>>27137032
Hide and wait for the coast to be clear long enough to bolt to the woods.
>>27137128
Draw attention to the part of the ruins we're hiding in, good idea.
>>27137032
Is there anything up there we can use to start a fire? We could set fire to the outpost when we make our escape, and force them divert some of their manpower to putting the fire out
>>27137117
Well that certainly makes sense.
I wonder what's in the book then. It's obviously not the soul of that zombie in the basement.
Whatever it is probably shouldn't be let out, but why is it even locked up? Lady Elegance obviously doesn't seem to care about it if it was just sitting there in that place like that.
>>27137163
Hmm, I actually can't imagine they'd really care about it. But that's just my gut feeling.
>>27137163
Do we have anything to start a fire with though?
>>27137164
Soul?
>>27137187
In that case it'd be less of a distraction, but still a distraction. They might care if it runs the risk of spreading to the chapel
>>27137199
>>27137192
>>27137163
>>27137141
>>27137128
I think the time for starting any kind of fire has long since passed.
>>27137032
Let's hide and watch the zombies carefully. Do a perception check on the woods can we make it there without being seen?
>>27137032
Become a giant dad and backstab all of the undead Emerald, chug plenty of estus flasks before boss!
>>27137243
Wut
>>27137243
this isn't attack on titan anon.
>>27137252
>>27137260
D..Dark Souls...
>>27137195
Yeah, earlier in the other thread we were trying figure out if the book contained the soul or something of that zombie from the basement. But obviously it's not his soul.
Considering Emerald said the book seems to want to be opened, i'm assuming there is a soul or something in it.
>>27137199
Well then we'd also have to start the fire somehow, while managing to get down there without being seen.
>>27137280
I wonder if it's Lady Elegance's?
>>27137294
It could be, but that's pretty poor guarding of it if that's the case.
>>27137308
This place doesn't get many visitors and the bell dude was asleep at his job...
>>27137337
Even so, something that important to her, you would think she would guard it better.
>>27137337
Do zombies sleep?
>>27137280
I bet it's a spell book. Dark magic spell books are sometime depicted as having a "presence".
![d0468226e06b361f7d284ada852b674d72de53f8[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/sUyTX8k.png "d0468226e06b361f7d284ada852b674d72de53f8[1]")
It's interesting to note so far they have all been classic zombies instead of cyborg one's like Future Emerald and the squid. Anyway enjoy this cool color version by MethidMan.
>>27137382
Well they must, or at least go dormant. Considering the bell tower zombie didn't see us sooner, and the basement one didn't stir when we went down there.
>>27137401
I will enjoy it, thank you.
So any discussions, speculation, fanart, or suggestions that anyone wants to do tonight?
Well see you guys tomorrow. Keep this thread alive along with Emerald. Let this not be his future >>27137401
>>27137131
your stupid curiosity got us into this mess. Could have burned the place, ran out of town, and had a cool ass necromancy book to learn from once Joy inspects it, but no we had to check the last door didn't we.
>>27137032
No more curiosity we look for the first opportunity to sneak out of here and take it. Fuck talking to them, try not to think about the big scorpion pony thing, keep a cool head and use our perception to watch for a chance to escape. Use our push spell if anything tries to stop us, and get into the woods. try to find our way to port and find Joy. And try to keep our cool ass book.
Night bump
>>27138087
annuda
7 bump!
>>27137801
Burning the place down probably would've been noticed as well. Also, where is this port you want us to find? I'd assume that a village of undead would've attacked any settlement in the region.
>>27139376
>Also, where is this port you want us to find?
FicFic mentioned that the port our boat was sailing to wasn't far.
"Anon: How far is the straits from the port we were heading to?
FicFic: The strait is pretty close to the town. Like, a day, day and a half."
Well we're fucked. Maybe the zombies will try to be reasonable if they find him because he has that locked book. Wonder what's going to happen with that book. Maybe if emerald threatens to destroy it
>>27139450
If we hide it. Maybe we could bargain our life for the book.
>>27137032
Okay, first we do a perception check to see where all the zombies go. Then we do a Int check to see how much time we have before the'll search the outpost. After that, we gather all our things and see if there's a way to safely get down without being seen.
I have a strong feeling that even though she's undead Elegance's stinger still very much works.
bumnk
>>27139492
The only way down is the ladder we used to get in here and, since the building is raised, jumping out a window has the risk of injury. We should look for a hiding place in here.
>>27137032
Well with all the talk of Emerald trying to remember how to make a fire starter and the urge to commit arson, fire has to end up helping him somehow
>>27141824
We'll have to keep our heads about us. A fire could provide a nice distraction, but not in this tower it would kill us to leap down or burn it down. We might not have time to set a fire and I would be disappointed since I've been trying to burn that temple since we found the corpse in the basement.
>>27139376
Burning the place would have trapped the corpses inside, and provided a distraction while we made our get away.
The part about the port and the book was more a general course of action. Our ultimate goal is to reunite with Joy and Ruby.
>>27139394
like this anon said the port is not far away, but it's a matter of finding it. If we knew which way the ship was heading we could go in that general direction along the shore and eventually come across it maybe even in time to find Joy before she sets out for the wasp nest.
9 bump!
>>27142432
>Burning the place would have trapped the corpses inside
Most of the corpses apparently bursted out of the ground. So burning the temple would've likely only trapped two and that's it.
>>27137032
Get the holy attacks ready
>>27137278
Oh good, i wasn't the only on that though about nito
>>27144243
Nito on a smaller scale, but yeah they do kinda remind me of it now that you say it.
does emerald have a very strong protective instinct? does it get him into trouble a lot?
>>27144300
>does emerald have a very strong protective instinct?
I like to think he does. For the first time in his life he has friends and he isn't so willing to lose it all once again.
>>27144300
We haven't really had a chance to see that too much, but I imagine if push came to shove he'd get protective. But someone small like him should be careful about choosing their battles.
do you think that if the princess was in trouble emerald would try to rescue her and then live a life of adventure on the run with her?
>>27144681
What princess?
>>27144705
the one from the flashback
>>27144710
I didn't think she was a princess. What would she even need rescuing from?
>>27144705
>>27144710
Papillion? She was a child of noble family and a jerk.
>>27144723
not a jerk, just madly in love and don't know how to show it. tsundere is what they call it i think
>>27144731
That's debatable. We simply got her hot and bothered with a sexy pirate story. I'm not sure if that = Tsundere or not.

Emerald surreptitiously peers over the side of the outpost to see what the zombies end up doing. There is more than a dozen of them, and they break off from each other, a few heading towards the forest, while others wander around the ruins of the town.
Emerald sees a new person enter the pack, and with a shock realizes it's the raisin-like body that was in the basement of the church.
"Fair Lady, what is happening? I was having such a lovely nap when your roar roused me." The corpse says in a raspy voice.
"My apologies for waking you sir, but it seems we have an intruder." The large cloaked undead says, standing a little higher and gazing all around.
"Oh, that would explain why my key is gone." The new body says, holding up the cut chain that Emerald sliced, "As is the holy book."
"An intruder and a thief." The one called Lady Elegance says looking down at the smaller corpse with a slight growl.
"Shall we alert Lord Sepulcher?" The dried up husk of a body says.
"Yes, once we have something to report. I wish not to disturb him now however, he is working."
What does Emerald do?
>>27144746
Exactly. There is a very real possibility that she could like Emerald and just shows it in abrasive ways. But it's hard to say without interacting with her more first.
>>27144759
>Shall we alert Lord Sepulcher?" The dried up husk of a body says.
>"Yes, once we have something to report. I wish not to disturb him now however, he is working.
Okay classic undead are working with the cyborg undead.
>>27144759
ready your blade of subelty incase you need to go all solid snake or something.
>>27144759
Carefully look at the forest and see if we can find a safe way down.
>>27144784
We still have the skull smash club though.
>>27144796
i don't think that would be very subtle now would it
>>27144806
But it would give the quick killing blow we need.
>>27144759Welcome back fic.
We're probably going to want to leave. There is a chance that we could just hide long enough that they think that we got away, but if they have any brains at all they are gonna check everywhere. Which will eventually include where we are hiding.
Do we have anything that we could hurl a considerable distance away from us so they all go away to investigate? But then again it's likely that only a few of em will check.
The only other thing we could do it try to sneak around, but our dex really isn't that high, so that'd probably not work.
>>27144759
This isn't even the worst one! Look around the outpost for possible hiding places.
>>27144759
Clutch the club tightly and do a perception check to find a way to steathfully get out of the outpost and into the woods.
>>27144828
What club?
>>27144853
the club we made with the rock and bandana with the stick we found.
>>27144784
>>27144796
>>27144806
>>27144813
We're a bard and a bit of a mage. Combat should be the last thing on our mind right now.
As >>27144824 pointed out, there's a chance we can wait them out and get a chance to escape later. Let's examine our surroundings and come up with a plan rather than just panicking.
>>27144853

>>27144891
>there's a chance we can wait them out and get a chance to escape later
Are you sure we want to wait long though. That bone dragon chimera thing is as big as the outpost. All she has to do is turn her head and she'll likely see us. I do agree that we need a plan though.
>>27144759
Emerald do a Int check to form a plan to get out of this village without being seen.
Emerald should try watching a little longer. Try seeing if they have any search pattern. Then try bolting for another spot that's the woods are an area they already checked.
>>27144912
We're a colt and the outpost has an obvious wall we can use to break line of sight.
>>27144924
It's our job to come up with the plan.
>>27144962
>has an obvious wall we can use to break line of sight.
But how long will that work though? What if she takes a closer look?
>>27144891
It's supposed to be getting pretty close to being dark right? If we wanted to sneak away the, under the cover of night would probably be the best time. I can't imagine that they have any better eyesight than when they were alive so it should work.
It'd be awesome if we could start something on fire as a distraction too, but we don't have a simple and easy way of starting a fire right now.
>>27144975
I think it's just now night.
>>27144975
>if we could start something on fire as a distraction too
Again with the fire. I don't think that's a good idea. We are stuck in the tower and starting any fire will draw them to us.
The problem with using a fire as a distraction is starting it. They may see it before you can get away.
Alrighty...
I think these are the choices we have.
http://www.strawpoll.me/10005298
>>27144759
Keep low and do a perception on the area around the outpost and any zombies currently searching for us.
>>27144759
Well, at least we know that the book of of some significance.
>>27144985
I guess it probably is, I just wasn't sure cause it didn't look like it in the image.
>>27144997
I meant somewhere away from where we wanna go, but we'd need some way of doing it from a distance to really have an effect.
The only problem I forsee with waiting is that it could screw us over even more. But then again dashing madly into the forest probably wouldn't be wise.
Emerald still hasn't eaten yet so I imagine it won't take long to tire him out.
>>27144759
This map >>27137111 shows a building right next to the outpost. I just wish there was a way to get on it's roof and onto the ground without being heard or seen.
That's a good idea to get on the other buildings roof. Aside from gigantis maybe seeing and hearing it.
>>27145041
That and it would require a dex check which we are notoriously bad at. The fact that we got the key was a miracle.
>>27144759
Lets wait and if some zombies start searching the outpost use the push spell on something else to draw them away while we make an escape.
>>27144759
They sound like they're a little wary of this Sepulcher fellow. Sounds like someone we don't want to meet
>"An intruder and a thief."
Whelp, they aren't going to be too nice when they catch us. Bet a little colt'd make a nice sacrifice for some dark magic hokum.
27145092
Or a nice little fuck toy
>>27145056
I'm not really sure how being on the roof would benefit us.
>>27145072
>That and it would require a dex check which we are notoriously bad at. The fact that we got the key was a miracle.
We must not of needed that high of a roll, and considering we were just cutting something off a sleeping/dorman zombie, that's not surprising.
>Lets wait and if some zombies start searching the outpost use the push spell on something else to draw them away while we make an escape.
Sounds like as good of a plan as any.
>>27145092
Which is why we need to make sure we get away unnoticed.
>>27145101
That could be preferable.
>>27144759
What if we used a magic missile to blast away at one of the buildings? That would be a quick way to distract them, provided Emerald does it quickly enough to where the zombies don't get a chance to see where the magic missile came from.
>>27145092
I think Fic all but told us that this is what will happen to Emmy if we get caught.>>27137401
>>27145103
>I'm not really sure how being on the roof would benefit us.
If we jump out of the outpost to the ground we would likely break a leg. If we jump onto a roof and then to the ground we would probably not be hurt.
>>27145123
Magic missile only hones in on/damages living flesh I do believe. Would do nothing but get us spotted probably.
>>27145143
Our body roll is our shittiest check. We wouldn't make a jump. The only thing I can think of is pull out the ladder and use it as a bridge to another roof, but that'll skyline us hard and get us spotted.
>>27145149
>We wouldn't make a jump.
It all depends on how far the roof is and how much of a drop it would be. Better the roof then straight to the ground.
>>27145143
Why don't we just use the ladder? It'd be much safer. We get down when we see an opportunity. All jumping to the roof would do know is endanger Emerald.
>>27145163
Why jump at all? There's a ladder.
If one climbs up, we brain them. If more then one, hide.
>>27145149
>Magic missile only hones in on/damages living flesh I do believe. Would do nothing but get us spotted probably.
Oh yeah, forgot about that... Maybe if there was a plant somewhere in the village then, but yeah, even that would probably get us spotted just as easily now that I think of it.
...I guess just wait for an opening and then make a mad dash for the forest is our only hope.
>>27145178
>>27145181
Climbing down a ladder would take too long and would seen by everyone. Besides that giantess could sting us or grab us!
>>27145206
How long is this ladder anyway?
>>27145206
I was under the impression the ladder was in the building
>>27145007
Emerald decides to wait a little longer and see if a path opens up somewhere else he can hide.
As he watches he sees the zombies shuffle from house to house, watched upon by the giant dragon-chimera-pony skeleton and the raisin-skinned undead. The pair of them never seem to wander far from the center of the town, seemingly circling the tower and watching the progress of the other undead.
Emerald notices that none of the undead that went into the forest seem to have returned. Are they staying nearby, or are they doing a nice thorough search?
Emerald watches as the undead round the tower and go near the farm. He hears one of the zombies say,
"Hey, anyone gone up the outpost yet?"
"No, I don't think so."
"Ugh, I hate climbing that ladder though."
The zombies stop to talk about and Emerald panics and looks around for an escape. There doesn't seem to be any undead nearby.
Emerald thinks that maybe he could jump to the nearby house's roof. It isn't guaranteed to hide him well, but it'd be better to be caught in the outpost.
Or maybe he should stick around? There are certainly less zombies now. Maybe he can fight his way through... Though he doesn't know what to do about the giant skeleton.
Emerald also realizes that he could probably make a straight shot for the forest, or even the tower, since most of the undead are over near the farm right now.
What does Emerald do?
>>27145131
we also probably won't be able to have sex anymore if we get that ending so we better proceed damn carefully.
>>27145220
This might be a stretch, but as a last resort when they go to climb up here could we knock them down and land on them? They should absorb the fall. And then we bolt out of there, we'd have no other choice at that point. The most we could do at that point is climb up a tree when we are out of view. Or find a nearby bush to hide in or something.
Now would be a good time to chuck something away from the outpost so we can get down.
Or maybe we can even combine the two by chucking something away as one of em goes to climb up the ladder and knock the one climbing up off the ladder and try to land on them.
>>27145220
>Emerald notices that none of the undead that went into the forest seem to have returned.
I'm guessing they're spreading out farther, trying to pick up our tail, assuming that we're just running straight away from town.
Anyway, Elegance will fucking trash us if we have to fight. We're gonna have to jump to the roof or make a break for it now while they're all near the farm
>>27145220
I don't think we should run to the stone tower. Unless there's something special in there we'll just be trapped. I think we should try for the house's roof.
27145222
Anymore? I thought he if was caught it would only go up! His ass! But I have no idea how to go here. Maybe a mad dash to the tower were he can hide or maybe they just wont search the output.
>>27145220
Maybe we should take the risk and try the book?
>>27145220
Perhaps making a break for the woods now would be a good idea.
>>27145257
>>27145265
Don't run for the tower. That's where Elegance and Coffinkey are chilling. Either we jump to the roof or make a break for the woods. I'm thinking we should just head for the forest. I think their initial search is spreading out from town; I don't think they'll expect us to be BEHIND them
>>27145265
>AppleLack
>can't link a post
Drop the name and stop being a fag.
>>27145285
>spreading out from town;
the woods surround the town.
>>27145220
Why not jump out the outpost in the direction that faces opposite of the tower? That way the outpost blocks the Zombies' field of view. They'll be on the ladder side while we'll be on the other side.
>>27145265
Applelack if you click on the number it will autolink the post for you.
>>27145296
C'mon m8, I know that. My point is I think they're walking outward from town, deeper into the woods, assuming that we're fleeing as far as we can. I think we might be able to trail behind them and maybe slip by
>>27145302
the only thing opposite of front of the outpost is the solid ground. I don't want Emerald's legs broken from that high of a drop.
>>27145295
Finally learning to use a site I've only been on for a day. So why don't you take that fag post, stick it in your juice box, AND SUCK IT!!!

Head to a building that has already been searched.

Feel free to take that special snowflake name off, newfag.
>>27145330
>Finally learning to use a site I've only been on for a day
So what brings you to CQ? Did you find it on DB?
>>27145342
Maybe if he came down up to gigantis and said let me go free or I'll destroy this book. Maybe him being a colt and having their holybook he'll be let go with heavy wording to stay away.
>>27145220
Yeah, it's time to "book" it, but no really u should fuckin get into that forest as safely and fast as possible
>>27145330
>>27145335
>>27145351
Alright, just ignore him. We don't want to derail the thread. Let's just focus on trying to survive.
>>27145351
And you're any better hiding behind anonymous?
>>27145365
Chances are she would simply sting him and take the book back. I think this is a bad plan.
>>27145330
Lose the name and lurk more to learn a little bit about how we do things before posting. If you can't do that please go back to derpibooru it's very disrespectful.
>>27145375
>>27145351
>>27145384
If you two wish to fight take it here. >>27128465
Emerald's life is at stake. We don't need this right now.
>>27145220
I think we should get to the roof, wait for a few minutes, and then get to the ground and dash into the woods!
>>27145220
Right now it looks like we're going to have to bolt for the woods. The only question is how we're getting off of this outpost. We could jump for the roof, but that runs the risk of us breaking a leg. We could slide down the ladder but we would almost certainly be spotted. In the end we have to decide which risk is greater being spotted or being unable to run.
>>27145381
Chances are they'll do almost anything for the book back. Maybe they will just kill but maybe they wont. Hard to say but hopefully they wont. So maybe pushing them off as they check up here will shock the zombies just enough he can get into the woods or some other building. Just enough of a distraction to get a little distance away
>>27145421
Jumping down onto a roof will make a lot of noise, even more noise if Em gets hurt

>>27145220
Emerald, gather your things, do a stealth check and get back down on the ground and sneak off into the woods without being seen.
http://www.strawpoll.me/10005573
(My goodness, getting a lot of use out of strawpoll today, aren't I?)
>>27145433

>>27145436
Well welcome aboard. Hopefully you'll have a good time here. Try not to get into fights and be sure to play smart.
>>27145456
>>27145433
I'm afraid it would be better to just drop the name.
>>27145440
I voted run for the forest, but I don't like the simplicity of that vote. I want to jump for the roof, quietly, then make sure the coast is clear and head on into the spooky woods.
>>27145440
>>27145220
The only advantage I see to going to the stone tower is if by some miricle we can either find another way out or something to help even the odds. Otherwise this would make a bad situation only worse. As the stone tower is further from the woods and in the center of town.
>>27145487
In one of the posts it said Elegance is circling the tower. Trying to get into that tower is probably the worst choice of them all.
>>27145487
Yea. The problem is both ways aren't good options. Emerald should have ran for get the fuck out of here central instead of the outpost.
Maybe if emerald hit the zombie when he climbs the outpost with a push spell he might just think he slipped. He did after all say he hates climbing the ladder.
We have no idea what's in the forest and not only is there the chance that we'll run into the zombies already there, but where do you think the zombies that are searching the ruins will go when they're done?
>>27145501
That tower is probably where sepulcher is lets stay far the fucking hell away
>>27145554
And that'd stop them from trying again?
The forest is the safest place to go considering it's completely dark and the hardest place to be spotted. It was dark enough during the day so it would be even darker now, but then it would be too dark for us as well and we would have a hard time finding out where to even go from there.
>>27145554
>>27145568
We 'push' the ladder we'll lose the ladder.
>>27145557
So staying in town may be best. If Emerald can sneak to another building that's already been searched. Damn! I just want the next post already telling me what he does and what happens!
>>27145557
>>27145572
Yeah are both right. But we might far a better chance out there.
>>27145579
Depends, he did say the ladder was stuck there pretty good.
>>27145588
I was actually toying with the idea of going into another building too, but there is always a chance that they could double check.
>>27145594
remember how dark the forest was during the day time?
head for the forest. staying in town is a bad idea.
>>27145606
I doubt they'd been sent to the forest if the dark would've been a problem.
>>27145601
Well all options have their own pros and cons. Pick any way currently known and it will go wrong. So yea, its a tricky thing.
>>27145607
Actually it's better to be behind the search parties since they'll give up and think your long gone after a while. Also the line thins after a while and it'd be easier to sneak through.
>>27145220
Could we hide under the table in the outpost?
>>27145629
the thing about search parties is they always return
>>27145638
The longer they search the less alert they'll be. I'd rather sneak around them on their way back than on their way out.
>>27145636
The problem I see with that is it would only work if they didn't look under it as the were climbing the ladder. If he fully came up and then looked around it might just work.
>>27145638
And do they go back to searching after they return?
>>27145651
Well so far almost all the votes are for the woods.
>>27145440
Emerald quickly makes his way down the ladder and bounds into the forest directly away from the tower.
He doesn't go more than a few meters in and already it's dark. Way darker than it was when he was walking around before.
It's just as quiet however.
What does Emerald do?
>>27145653
You can take that name off any day, now. You don't need an identity to participate in this thread. Name's are for content creators.
>>27145669
Are the undead that are searching for us using any light? Maybe we can follow theirs
Also listen to see if anyone shouts that they did dun seen us
>>27145671
Well whatever do you mean darling?
>>27145440
Being detected with them all behind you because you ran into the forest > Being caught because you stayed in the village where they all are and are looking for you
>>27145669
Clutch the club tightly and stay low while we move.
>>27145669
And now we walk around blindly until we find a nice zombie to help us or we head back and hope we can reach a good hiding place before the zombies in town relocate to this side of the ruins. Why did you go with the strawpoll when people were changing their opinions?
>>27145669
Use perception to feel around and listen while we move.
>>27145699
Does anyone know what way Emeralds now heading? Because I see that being one hell of a problem pretty soon. If not for the zombies actively searching for him.
>>27145687
If you can't follow site etiquette, have fun being told to fuck off in every thread you post in.
>>27145669
Use our light, I think we should climb a tree like we did before to see where we are. The trouble is figuring out where to go. We as players still don't know which way to go exactly, but the ship was heading west so maybe that's a safe bet?
I think we should also be worried about anything that could possibly be lurking in the forest, could we find somewhere to hunker down and hide for the night like a bush or some folliage.
>>27145687
be prepared to get harassed cause muh ways of 4chin.
>>27145669
Travel far enough away from the sounds of the village, just don't bump into anything.
I assume they'll notice the light spell from any distance knowing how dark the whole area is
>>27145669
Can we use our light spell at a low level so it only illuminate's a small area around us?
>>27145669
Emerald feel around for a climbable tree and scale it. We can hide up in the branches.
>>27145718
Well at least I can stick out. So I'm going to take whatever any insecure 12 year old can throw at me. Because I'm a grown ass man. Who loves ponies
>>27145671
>Name's are for content creators.
Do colorists count by any chance?
>>27145669
Head back to the village, we don't stand a chance out here. If we're quick we can undo this mistake and reach that building without anybody noticing.
>>27145752
I believe so.
>>27145669
Perception Check for everything.
>>27145669
Go back to the edge of the village were it's more lit and try to find some bushes to hide in.
>>27145754
Maybe hide in a building closest to where he's at and hope no one is in there or decides to go in there.
>>27145697
How about being caught because we're unable to make progress in the forest or bump into one of our pursuers. It's also safe to assume that they can see in the dark, unlike us.
>>27145669
Emerald do an Int check to see if staying in a place this dark is a good idea.
>>27145765
We should aim for the building that was already searched.
>>27145748
>Well at least I can stick out.
Why? What is the point? Do you think your opinion is above an Anon's, and you need a name to grace people with your charming personality? Because you don't. The whole merit of being Anon is that your post can be judged strictly by what you're saying, and not by how many people like your internet persona. Nobody takes namefags seriously unless their putting out content. You are not, so you don't need a name.
>>27145752
It's really up to the individual. I've never used a name even when I write and "draw," but that's because I do it very seldomly.
>>27145669
Emerald just find a tree and climb up to a branch.
>>27145774
That would be impossible to fail. It isn't
>>27145669
Try going far away enough from the village and then hide somewhere, either by going up a tree or laying low in a bush or something. Stay alert for any sounds.
>>27145788
Tree branches make noise or break when you put weight on them.
>>27145807
Not if it's nice and sturdy.
>>27145787
Yea. I one hate social media and two aren't hiding behind a Vail of anonymous.
So what now? Can you say the same? Doubt it. Because I just don't care what you have to say about "name fags". I'm here for Emerald. Not you.
>>27145669
Well this isn't going to work. Stay low and get close enough back to the village where we can see again.
>>27145807
We might be far enough away that they won't notice. Maybe we can walk away more, but we need to figure out some way knowing where we are.
I'm assuming we at least are pointed west cause that's where the forest is in relation to the outpost.
>>27145835
I really don't want to go back to the village, we just fought to get out of there.
>>27145828
I would suggest ignoring the naysayers for now. They aren't going to change their minds and you are likely not either. So just ignore them and not argue about it.
>>27145835
Maybe if Emerald hid behind that wall which was discussed earlier for breaking line of sight. That would be good enough to hide from zombies inside the village but still allow sight of them in there without much risk.
>>27145669
Emerald move slowly and see if you can adjust the amount of light you can use in your spell.
>>27145846
This is why you dont post the whole goddamn quest to db you fucking retard.
>>27145850
We would have to climb back up that ladder though. So that wouldn't work. Not unless we are sure that we aren't seen.
>>27145828
>hiding behind
People always fall back on this excuse. If I went on derpibooru and starting acting like a jackass, calling people nigger and generally not following site etiquette, I'd get called out and shit on, and rightly so.
Here you're doing the same, and yet act like you're above the expected etiquette of the site. Why do you think this is okay?
>>27145864
second. I wouldn't mind it so much if it didn't bring cancer to this site
>>27145864
Why are you blaming me for that?
>>27145828
Okay calm down everyone, including you
You don't have to be too defensive, just calm down and do what you'd like
>>27145867
I thought someone said there was a wall not too far from the outpost that could used to break line of sight while going to the forest. Back when everyone was fighting over which to go from the outpost.
>>27145871
>Why do you think this is okay?
Because 4chan has a really bad rep in the rest of the internet. So newcomers naturally feel they are above the regulars.
>>27145817
Wood still creaks and leaves still rustle. Also we're the only living creature so we're noisy enough to notice on our own.
>>27145844
We're blind as a bat. Once the zombies are done searching the ruins, it's likely they'll join the forest search parties. That would make the forest more dangerous.
>>27145892
Nope you misread that. he was talking about the outpost wall.
>>27145669
Emerald hide somewhere and wait awhile. The others will eventully fann out and search the forest. Perhaps once they finish checking the town we could sneak back and hide in the outpost or one of the other buildings.
>>27145909
Damn. If only. That would have probably been the safest. I'm thinking staying near the town is best. Since light spells are only going to do more harm then good and in case something super bad is in the forest the towns a close place to run and hide.
>>27145681
>>27145699
>>27145700
>>27145712
>>27145714
>>27145723
>>27145725
Emerald looks for any light from the zombies who might be searching the forest. Come to think of it, he didn't see any of them carrying torches or anything. Maybe they can cast light spells too? Or maybe they don't light at all?
Emerald fumbles around blindly, looking for a tree he can climb and get an idea of where he is.
Unfortunately he can't tell how tall or climbable the trees are in the darkness.
Nonetheless, Emerald thinks he might have found a suitable one. It might be kind of dangerous climbing trees in the dark though...
What does Emerald do?
>>27145669
I don't know if we should use the light spell and make our way towards the ocean or head back to the village.
>>27145938
Turn around.
>>27145938
Emerald rear your legs and buck the big scary thing behind you.
>>27145938
So yea, run, just fucking run somewhere. Its either zombies or something with two big glowing eyes. Which doesn't sound good for you right now. Either way. Its not good sounding.
>>27145938
>>27145957
Ayyy time to run, lil' perv
>>27145907
I can't imagine going back into the village would be any safer. With all this folliage around I find it really hard to believe that we couldn't find a bush or something to hide in for the night.
I don't know though there is a lot of variables to keep in mind and it's hard to even halfway anticipate them.
>>27145938FUCK FUCK FUCK
Oh man, now we either climb the tree or get sodomized by red eyes there.
I'm starting to think that we should of stayed in the village. But honestly i'm starting to feel we're fucked either way.
>>27145957
We'd waste time turning around.
>>27145864
I'm personally glad someone posted CQ on DB. It was how I found out about it.
>>27145938
Hello friendly zombie, that I totally predicted ( >>27145768 ), Can you help us run away from your friends since we're to stupid and impulsive to take the intelligent choice of hiding where nobody would look, like a building that was already searched.
>>27145976
Cause they couldn't check it again?
>>27145938
Emerald do a body check and dodge!
>>27145938
Emerald use your light spell RIGHT NOW. (Maybe the sudden light blast will blind redeyes.)
>>27145938
Emerald forget hiding. We've just been seen. Use your light spell and gallop fast.
>>27145982
But would you be likely to recheck after you just checked it? Its better then something glaring from behind you in the forest.
>>27145982
Why would they when they have an entire forest to search?
>>27146015
well hindsight is 50/50. Any idea to deal with the problem of here and now?
>>27146000
And alert all of the zombies to our presence so we have to run blindly through the forest while being chased.
>>27145723
>>27145846
shut up psyker
>>27145752
Yeah it'd be helpful to know when you're taking requests
>>27145828
>not being anonymous on a site where that's literally the point
On here your posts are judged by the merit of your content not by a shitty name associated with it. The only reason to have one is to post content which you are not. Right now you're just acting like an ass to be an ass. If you really cared about Emerald you wouldn't be starting shit and derailing the thread about him.
>>27145846
Maybe instead of posting coltquest all the time you just save posts and put it on derpibooru once a month to limit the cancer coming in.
>>27146021
Light? Push? Run? And pretty damn fast!
>>27145938
Emerald dodge and use our magics. We've been seen. So now we must run!
>>27146033
Head first nto the tree we couldn't see.
>>27146030
Yea. I'm not giving advice for Emerald. Just like most other posts. And if we're judged by post content not by name then what are you doing?
>>27146030
I'm not psyker or psker man.
>>27145938I'm so sorry Emmy, I hope we didn't just completely fuck you over.
>>27146015
Depends, they could of double checked before they left, or not. I guess.
>>27146030
If only there was a way to tell who was talking....
You could just not derail the thread and don't bitch about it? Are you being forced to complain? Is someone holding a gun to your head and making you bitch about your inane ways?
>>27146047
Having a name also lets other people impersonate you.
>>27146059
>>27146047
>>27146030
Take the fight here please. This is too important at the moment.
>>27128465 →
>>27146015
And how are we supposed to know where they checked already? All we know is that they didn't check the outpost. Yes maybe it would of been a good idea to just hide in one of the buildings. I just don't know what to do.
>>27146073
Why would I do that when I'm clearly purposefully namefagging in order to create drama and disrupt the quest? There's no other reason for me to be using a name after all.
>>27146082
We watched them.
>>27145938
Welp emerald how about we try our light spell. Now would be a good time.
I hate strawpoll since it doesn't allow people to change their opinions or fix a mistake.
>>27146086
No they have a name on just cause, it's you guys that can't handle it being there just because you don't think it should be. And you have to get autistically angry about and derail the thread.
>>27146105
We're already going to attract a ton of attention might as well use the light and run so we don't trip over shit
>>27146086
Cool for me. Saying that about myself.
I'm thinking a quick light and push spell aiming for the red eyes monster then a dash back into town. There may be no one who notices it as most are way off searching the forest. I don't see any other real ways to escape right now.
>>27146086
I don't like your brand of humor. Please stick to the relevent cyoa discussion and suggestions.
>>27146113
Not to mention easily rigged.
>>27145938
Quick Emerald use both the light and push spells! We've been seen so we might as well give it our all!
>>27146116
Yes, good goyim, my plan is working perfectly. I did nothing wrong by posting with a name, and this post is proof of it.
>>27146121
I'm also a huge nigger
Going back to town is a death sentence since running and being chased is going to draw a lot of attention (kinda like my name whoring) I don't know what I was thinking.
Why hasn't anybody suggested slitting it's throat and then smashing him in the head with the club to knock him out? No light, no noise, and if we go back to the villige they'll assume we went in that direction when they find the corpse.
>>27146139
So you're trying to derail the thread by acting like an idiot about something that shouldn't matter? What point are you trying to prove, that people can't control themselves and just ignore shit? Is that really a good thing to prove?
>>27146153
I'm not black
And staying in the forest where Emerald can't see anything and zombies which can is better? If he can hide in a building the zombies in town may fight the monster and not know what happened
>>27146166
Probably cause we're a bit jostled, but that might not be a bad idea. But then again, whatever that is I don't know if attacking it would be a good idea.
>>27146086
>>27146139
Poor impersonation at least match their posting style
>>27146168
There's clearly two of them. Or he likes arguments with himself.
>>27146166
Good suggestion but I'm thinking he may not have enough strength to kill it.
>>27145938
Swing around and use our club to smash redeye's head in!
>>27146194
>>27146194
There's some else trying to be stupid and act like me. I guess they don't understand they are doing a poor job at it.
>>27146186
It's about to attack us if it's anything bad, which is very likely, so we don't have many realistic options.
>>27146196
I never said anything about killing it, just disabling it so we can get away without anybody being alerted.
>>27145938
use light spell and the club Emerald! kill that zombie!
>>27146208
>trying to be stupid
Luckily for you, you don't have to try, right buddy?
>>27146174
Well that could also work if that thing isn't with the zombies. But we don't know if they are and we'd fuck ourself even more by going back into town with that thing chasing us if they are allied with the zombies.
>>27146196
>>27146210
We could always try a magic missle? We'd know if it's undead or not then.
>>27146226
Would the target be able to alert others before we can silence it?
>>27146226
we only have a few seconds to make a decisions either spin and whack it with the club hoping it knocks it out, or run. I don't know that we have the time to use a spell but using a push spell would probably be best if we can.
>>27145938
fight the red eyes! push it back with the push spell and use our light spell tho see what it is!
>>27145938
Emerald get ready to fight! Use the club or push spell!
At least we have some means of defending ourselves from one zombie...assuming it's not skeletor.
>>27146226
Well anyways its not likely to be a good outcome. I'm going to bed so I'm eager to see how Emerald fairs by then. Hopefully good but figuring the options I'm not ruling out an injury. Maybe the monster is with the zombies and maybe not. But a light spell is really the only way to know for sure currently.
>>27145397
Keep your retards to your own thread.
>>27146262
I will get that HEMAN once and for all! Just had to make that really bad joke. Couldn't pass it up.
>>27146246
Unless we get a real good hit in on it, it's very unlikely we could silence it before it does something.
>>27146248
It's hard to say, hitting it might not and probably won't do much other than enraging it. Emerald would have to get luck and get a good hit in on it to knock it unconcious. I guess we could go for a logical weakpoint like the eyes or something, but that wouldn't do much for knocking it out.
>>27145938
Emerald quickly do a body check and swing around to face the red eyes. Fight it with your club or magic.
>>27145938
Use the light spell and hightail it out of there!
All because of some stupid namefag this thread isn't going to last beyond probably two days. Nice job. Can't post without a name because of your shitty ego and now I gotta have less quest and wait longer on a quest that's already fairly slow. Fuck you. Go back to db until you can follow site norms
>>27146301
Well if we didn't make an issue about it and just ignored him the posts wouldn't be so high either.
Ooooh boy! The pretentious fucks are hypocriting over someone having a name again!
You say they're acting superior by having a name when you morons are literally saying YOU are superior for being anonymous.
Can you idiots take this "site etiquette" that DOESN'T FUCKING EXIST and shove it up your ass already?
They have a name, big deal, get over yourselves.
>>27146320
The people giving the attention-whore attention are retards and the attention-whore is a retard. It applies equally.
>>27146301
Actually the problem is jackasses like you getting salty over it for no fucking reason.
The guy with the name has nothing to do with it.
>>27146301
>>27146320
>>27146325
>>27146327
Good. now that it's settled let's stop talking about and wait to see what happens. Let's not make the post size even higher.
Just filter the namefag like you all should have filtered Psyker.
>>27145938
Note to Ficfic, please do not respond to any namefags with a story post. It will cause anyone who's filtered said namefag to also filter your post.
Proper 4chan etiquette calls for users to ignore and filter namefags, not shit up your thread with arguments. So by responding to them in story posts, you'd be punishing those users who are using the site correctly.
>>27145938
Since Emerald hasn't actually seen the eyes we see, it would be out of character for us to tell him to stab it.
I say Emerald gets a bad feeling and runs as fast as he can.
>>27146340
Get the fuck out already.
Bear in mind we're going to keep shitposting and therefore kill threads faster the longer you keep the name on. Given that FicFic takes a couple of days in between posts, that makes you the cancer that is killing ColtQuest

(Last for the night.)
Emerald uses his light spell, and immediately there is an uncomfortable cry behind him. Emerald spins around to see some dark, hairty thing shielding it's eyes. It's got massive, sharp claws and needle-like teeth.
Without even really thinking about it Emerald throws his push spell at it, knocking it over. He then runs wildly away, not even realizing that he charges straight over the side of a hill, tumbling down quite a ways before ramming into a tree stump.
Emerald sits up, rubbing his side where he collided with the wood. It's sore, but he doesn't think he broke anything. His light spell is still active, and though it doesn't seem to reach as far as his light spell normally does. The first thing the colt notices is a slow flowing stream winding it's way through the low areas of the hill. He also sees what appears to be a small outcropping in the hill beside him that makes a cave.
What does Emerald do?
>>27146389
That cave might be where that monster lives. I don't think we should go there.
>>27146389
I'm not really in the mood for caves. Good place to get cornered. If we follow the river, odds are it'll lead to a settlement somewhere, right? Quickly, lest whatever the fuck that shit was comes up on us.
Then again, I'm not wild on traipsing through these shitwoods at night, either. But I don't think we've really put enough distance between us and Undeadsburg to settle down for the night
>>27146385
So you admit that you're just gonna keep being retarded about it. You could just stop?
>>27146437
>I don't care that I'm breaking board culture and being a massive autist, you need to stop.
>>27146389
(Only left 2 image for the 666)
Dont enter in the cave
>>27146437
Pretty sure he admitted that the namefag being a retard about it and you should stop trying to defend him. But hey, like sticks with like right?
>>27146389
taste the water. is it fresh?
>>27146389
That cave is it's home lets run along the stream it ought to get us to the port eventually
>>27146369
>>27146382
Better idea, how about you edgelord children grow the hell up?
>>27146385
Or maybe you immature little shits can get over yourselves? You're the real cancer here. So what if they have a name?
>>27146482
The reason 4chan is better than any other community out there is because of anonymous culture. Put on a name and that shit starts to melt away into hugboxing and blogging.
Go back to tumblr.
>>27146389
keep following the stream. Use this opportunity to get our bearings. Use perception Emerald!
>>27146482
>Getting called an immature little shit by the 14 year old
Gave me a laugh m8. Go back to your blogging platform if you want a name.
>>27146482
I agree, but I feel that arguing about it is pointless and will only drive the posts higher.
>>27146482
I said leave
>>27146482
>So what if they have a name?
Yeah, so what if I go on a site, act like a retard then get called out on it? Surely it's the regular users that are at fault. Get real. Maybe if several users tell you to stop, you should stop, rather than be defiant because your ego can't stand looking like everyone else
>>27146508
>act like a retard
Point to an instance where he did something stupid. (outside of using a name.)
>>27146491
>anonymous culture.
Fucking please.
I also find it hilarious that someone who wants to censor something so trivial is telling someone else to go back to tumblr.
>>27146515

Of course what the new namefag did wasn't nearly as stupid as what you do, which is to KEEP ARGUING AGAINST THE SITE'S CORE VALUES.
If you don't like the CORE FEATURE of this site then fucking leave already, you massive retard.
>>27146519
Except using a name isn't stupid at all. You know what is stupid? Bitching for no fucking reason. Like all you anti-name idiots are doing.
>>27146443
WHO THE FUCK CARES ABOUT YOUR STUPID SELF IMPOSED NONSENSICAL BULLSHIT BOARD CULTURE.IT'S NOT A MOTHER FUCKING RULE SO THAT DOESN'T GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO BE STUPID ABOUT IT. YOU COULD JUST STOP WHINING ABOUT IT.
YOU'RE REASONING FOR WHINING ABOUT IT IS GOD DAMN PAPER THIN.
IF THEY WANT PEOPLE TO FOLLOW IT THEN MAKE IT AN ACTUAL RULE. YOU STUPID FUCKS JUST KEEP BLAMING OTHER PEOPLE WITH THESE HALF BAKED COMPLAINTS WHEN IT'S YOU WHO IS REACTING TO SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T NEED TO BE REACTED TO.
>>27146464
No it's the people being fucksticks about something so inane. Like a name.
Shit just make it so no one can physically have a name if you really want that so bad. That's as stupid as someone complaining about someone wearing something, just because it's not something they would wear, or anyone else would wear.
>>27146519
Just cause you find it stupid? And your reasons for doing so are half baked and assumptuous at best?
>>27146532
It's more like people just want control.
>>27146389
Survival tip: when you want to find civilization, always follow water.
>>27146540
Can I get your name, then? What other websites do you go on? :^)
>>27146539
>N-no, I'm not stupid for doing stupid things, y-you're stupid!
>>27146539
Just leave already.
It's clear you don't like the main thing about 4chan, so I'm not sure why you keep coming here if you don't like it or even want to like it.
Leave. You don't want to be here and no one wants you here.
>>27146389
Creatures that are that adverse to light probably live in caves so I would agree that we should follow the river away from the cave.
>>27146540
Nice post, what's your tumblr? +follow
>>27146548
Dude that's hipsanon. Look at the way the lines neatly spaced. Don't chase him off, he's great.
>>27146540
You are quite possibly the dumbest person I've ever had the displeasure of sharing a thread with.
Kill yourself.
>>27146515
here you go anon now stop defending the autist
>>27145330
>>27146576
Hips ALWAYS posts as anon though, even though as a content creator he could with no one batting an eye.
I think he'd understand board culture as well as anyone else.
>>27146576
>Hipsanon
You mean the guy who has never used a name despite being a content creator and doesn't seem particuilarly taken with the DB culture or threads?
Nah man, this is some other faggot.
>>27146389
Fic Fic I'm sorry your thread got shit up. I hope you enjoy your break and things go back to normal
>>27146539
>Except using a name isn't stupid
It is in a site that values anonymity. If everybody used a name, it'd open up a bunch of bullshit circlejerking that nobody wants around here.

>>27146540
>The original namefag stops posting
>Gotta keep defending him and keep the argument going!
>>27146583
Okay. But after that he seemed to have stopped. Until someone impersonated him.
>>27146607
So what you're saying is he stopped doing stupid things until he continued doing stupid things?
>>27146604
Except that would never happen. Instead what we get is you idiots circlejerking over how having a name is bad for no fucking reason.
Reminder to Ficfic to stop responding to namefags so people who filter them LIKE YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO can play the damn quest.
Hey guys there's nothing wrong with namefagging.
>>27146576
Cause no one can post like that ever?
>>27146577
>>27146611
Great argument, i'm so enlightened. Tell me your infalliable logic that makes you think you're so high and mighty. Oh wait, it's objective reasoning at best.
>>27146606
Yeah cause you guys keep hiding behind the fact that it's "board ettiquite" when that means nothing.
>>27146618
Look at the thread. Having a name is obviously disruptive and against the anonymity the site values. So there's two reasons, now give me one for WHY someone needs a name.
>>27146604
>>Hey we're trying to do this quest here-"
>>"Fuck off Anon quit hiding behind anonymity you pussy"
>>"LOLREKT nice one AppleLack"
But that's frankly what you guys are doing in reverse. But I'm done.
Drop this now! Please! So we can at least have something tomorrow.
>>27146618
>Except that would never happen.
Have you ever used ANY forum with names? That's EXACTLY what happens, you massive twat.
>>27146630
Yeah, it's because someone has a name, not because you idiots are crying that he has a name for no reason. Definitely.
>>27146528
I think /cyoa/ was shitting it up from the start.
>>27146618
/b/read threads were exactly that.
>>27146619
more people would if you said how
>>27146389
Follow the river. And fuck that cave, >>27146425
this might very well be the case.
Though we're gonna want to find somewhere to rest. And we can't keep that light spell on for too long.
>>27146618
That's exactly what happens on every forum and every chatroom. Are you being intentionally dense? People start agreeing with each other because they're buddies, not on the merit of what they're saying. No matter how stupid you were a minute ago that shouldn't affect a clever post you had now. And no matter how clever you were a minute ago that shouldn't affect a shit post you have now.
Reminder that if AppleLack had tripfagged there would be plenty of posts left in the thread.
Be ye warned, children of DB.
>>27146648
>cq players not knowing how to use filters
>cq players expecting to be spoonfed
this hell will never end
>>27146389
Follow the river with our light spell until we can find someplace safe to hide then we should turn the spell off and hide.
>>27146648
It's a very involved process, here's a quick tutorial.
Only 8 pages.
http://bfy(dot)tw/5NYI
replace the dot with a period, dumb spamfilter
>>27146644
still waiting on why someone needs a name
I gave you two for why they don't. If you want to go in circles with this argument, then go ahead
>>27146669
It's gonna be a sad day if I gotta download 4chanx after years just because of one namefag
>>27146661
I think we should tell them next time if they come in, at the very least it can get filtered and hopefully people can shut the fuck up about it and let the thread progress naturally.
>>27146669
How are you supposed to know about something if no one tells you?
>>27146657
I have never seen that happen on any forum or any chatroom.
>>27146684
neither have I.
>>27146684
So you are being intentionally dense, or you've just never been on an internet site ever. Either way your behavior has been explained.
>>27146678
Your "reasons" were disproven. The person with the name has nothing to do with it, it's the idiots that cry about it. Like you.
Why does someone need a reason to have a name? If they want one what right do you have to tell them they can't?
>>27146692
>you've just never been on an internet site eve
I've been on forums for 10 years. Never seen it happen.
>>27146684
You're just fucking baiting at this point.
There's no way you're actually this dumb.
Nice trolling, I actually thought you really were unironically railing against the core feature of 4chan, on 4chan.
I fell for your troll.
>>27146697
The source of the problem isn't the problem, it's the results! Treat the symptoms!
>>27146692
Or maybe, you're just bullshitting. Yeah, it's definitely that.
Guys take it here now! This no longer has anything to do with CQ.
>>27128465
>>27146697
>disproven
What the fuck are you talking about? You haven't disproven or proven anything, other than the fact that you have no idea how 4chan works and should leave immediately.
Less than fifty posts of CQ, and then probably another break. I am so glad I enjoy quests other than CQ.
I was going to say something but i realized the thread was almost kill, go on
>>27146727
I don't know why you'd think that'd work. I doubt these newfags even know how to link to posts in other threads.
>>27146682
At least take a quick glance at the options menu before asking for shit, mongoloid.
I REALLY hope you know what options are, but there's a lingering doubt at the moment.
>>27146730
CQ has the highest argument to quest update ratio for any quest ever.
I hope you're proud of yourself Ficfic.
>>27146697
>Your "reasons" were disproven.
Pretty sure 4chan valuing anonymity isn't disprovable because it's true. Go to any thread, post with a name on long enough, and people will call you out.
>Why does someone need a reason to have a name?
Because if someone is drawing, or making content, a name helps users find them. Coltquest's use of a name is perfectly fine for this reason.
>If they want one what right do you have to tell them they can't?
The majority of users are Anon and like it that way. Unnecessary name usage invites drama and circlejerking. If people just posted Anon, we'd all get along fine.
I'm going to bed now though, so if you've a last cutting remark to go out on, I suggest you lay it on me.
>>27146710
I have no choice but to get pissy over someone having a name! I'm not the problem! I have a completely legitimate reason to cry!
>>27146777
No one is crying here but you.
>>27146761
people usually don't argue much lately Tbh
the Joyride thing blew over and I stayed out of that beyond giving my two cents on our initial "What does Emerald do?" prompt
>>27146761
It used to be about the quest at least. Down with Joyride! Now it's about people who don't understand 4chan even after it's been laid out for them. Undoubtedly there'll be someone that replies to this with "I-it's not laid out, your reasons are dumb you dummies!" which just demonstrates how little they listen.
>>27146787
Look up. I'm not the one calling for someones head for something so TRIVIAL as HAVING A NAME that causes NO HARM.
>>27146777
Stop being so mean to me about causing problems! I should be allowed to cause problems with no repercussions! I'm special and Unique!
>>27146815
Said every anti-namefag on the site.

Right so far

Ah, and you blew it. You might need to learn to read. It's been explained to you several times and you just keep crying about "m-muh name!"
>>27146389
Should we hide the book in the cave and then go back? Mr Raisins seemed like he might be reasonable.
>>27146807
Are you one of those people who goes on an anime website and then shittalks anime?
Or a pony website, and then calls anyone who likes MLP a brony faggot?
Then why are you coming to an ANONYMOUS website and complaining about anonymous?

>>27146831
Yeah. Every single anti-namefag is making the same, valid point.
>>27146730
Oh, then go on you inferior subhuman, play your "quests", i will be here making sure this quest succeeds wih my superior intelect.
Good day sir.
>>27146832
The only valid reason anyone has given is that it causes circlejerking. And they're right. But it's not the people with names doing the circlejerk, it's the hypocrites crying about how they have names!
>>27146851
This is ironic, right?
p-please?
>>27146856
If you want to use a name do so on another website. Don't use a name here.
>>27146865
I wouldn't joke about preserving the sanctity of Colt Quest anon. I'm here to use my genius to make sure it succeds.
I really feel sad for the QM that he has to put up with you fucking idiots bickering over fucking nothing.
Good job anti-namefags. You singlehandedly killed the thread because 'muh anon'. Well done.
>>27146856
>The only valid reason anyone has given is that it causes circlejerking. And they're right.
Ah, finally getting it!
>But it's not the people with names doing the circlejerk, it's the hypocrites crying about how they have names!
Oh. Well, there was an attempt. That's really the best I expect out of retards. Hopefully in the future once you've 'won' this internet argument you'll realize your error. This thread is crashing straight into the ground though.
>>27146880
Yes, it was the regular users here that killed the quest. Even though we usually get through a thread with no issues.
Not the newfag who came and started shit and then the absolute retard who kept defending him.
>>27146880
Actually I killed this thread mostly for the sheer unadulterated hell of it. What's not to love about stoking fires and watching shit burn?
>>27146880
Sorry to break that for you anon but they are obviously fucking around, only rare breeds of moron would unintentionally kill a thread over such insignificant infraction like namefagging
>>27146893
Yeah, he started shit, not the morons that have no reason whatsoever to cry over them having a name.
>>27146880
I'm glad. Any thread that holds such a faggot as yourself deserves burning.
>>27146893
No Anon. Normal users have to be the problem. Because I just go there today and decided that I know better than eeeeveryone else. I'm more intelligent than everyone that has been on 4chan and as such can refute every argument you throw at me. Names cause circlejerking? Nou. Names cause certain posts to be valued higher or lower? Nou. Names cause shitstorms? nou. See my excellent refutations and cower.
W-what do you mean I should have to give a reason for anything! It is you who are the problem, not I!
>>27146920
He says as he continues crying for no reason.
Wth is with this anti names thing??? There is no reason to hate having identification, it helps identify posts, and frankly, i think it is stupid

>>27146948
Hey look, you're learning!
Maybe if you go and read other threads you'll come to understand why we value being anon.
Just don't post. Please god. Because your sheer retardation will probably kill any thread you touch.
Well guys, its been fun. I've learned a valuable lesson and I will never namefag ever again.
>>27146959
>>27146932
You're not being belligerent enough. You're type of new is the cute kind. You remind me of that newfag pony.
>>27146962
There is no value to being anon. If you idiots just shut up and accepted some people want names, it would be no different than what it is now.
>>27146980
I'm sorry, what is a new fag?
>>27146990

Fixed it for you. Go check out Ponychan if you want to see how a chan-style board with namefagging turns out.
i can have whatever name I want, and id still have as much influence as an anon so everyone can shut the fuck up
>>27146990
>no value to being anon
Sir, why don't you adopt a name, so everyone can identiy you? With a superior intellect, you would be sure to strike up engaging conversations wih your peers.
Good day sir, i tip my fedora to you.
So. See you niggers, when? Friday? Fuck. Life is suffering.
>>27146980
Newfag pone a cute. I bet she'd put her email in the email field back in the day. Get sent a bunch of pizzas
And that's five hundred. Good job, people.
The janitors might consider multiple names to be roleplaying. Also it's generally discouraged across 4chan.

It's exactly the same. Who's side are you on again?
>>27147029
Round of applause /cyoa/ you did a wonderful job. Which is the next quest we shit on?
>>27146990
Well there is a value of being anon, but people take that as a reason you should only be anon. Not make it optional. Which I don't know why they try so hard to enforce it when it doesn't hurt them beyond envoking their autism so much that they can't help but screech at the fact that someone used a name cause muh board objectively useful board culture.
>>27147044
Your favorite one.
>>27147044
This one again. Unless another quest is unfortunate enough to have a namefag argument.
>>27147070
>unless another quest is unfortunate enough to have a namefag
ftfy
On any normal forum a mod would’ve seen that the argument had nothing to do with CQ and would’ve told them to drop it.
Word of advice Applelack. (if you read this.) Don’t argue with them. Also get a tripcode so they don’t imporonate you. Lastly they won’t listen to reason and will argue with you anyway. So it might be better off in the long run to go anon so they won’t have something to start a forum war with. All I want is to enjoy the story and have fun! And I know you do too.
I think I’ll get some Tylenol and go to bed.
>>27147078
Nice blog post faggot.
>>27147073
That is exactly what I actually meant, anon. I was just trying to be polite and not trigger the namefags again.
>>27147044
Never set foot in cyoa, but okay
>>27147078
>On any normal forum a mod would’ve seen that the argument had nothing to do with CQ and would’ve told them to drop it.
And moved it the general cyoa thread.

HAHAHA

I SUCK COCKS
>>27147111
Ah another impersonator. I should be honored I guess. But tell me how do you know I'm not another impersonator as well.
>>27147095
Yeah seriously, we aren't taking anymore chances with trying to talk to any of them that could be reasonable. Mr. Raisin could be but now we'll hopefully never get to know, and i'm ok with that cause i'm still kicking myself in the ass for not just ignoring the last door and just leaving.
But who knows, it could of went wrong in some other way so there's that to consider too.
>>27147111
>>27147123
STOP IMPERSONATING ME, GOD LEAVE ME ALONE ALREADY
>>27147123
We're quite certain that is an impersonator because they didn't feel the need to make everything no matter how bad about them.
>>27147052
The value of anon only exists as long as the majority is anon. When the minority is anon it no longer has any value. The blatant overreaction is a necessary aspect to keep the majority as anon. The reason the 'rule' is a simple 'content makers can use a name' is because that's a hard line. Any soft line will just get pushed, until anon is a minority.
If you'd like to see the result of everyone namefagging/tripfagging and how that affects post valuing and conversation, go to Ponychan or find a general with a majority tripfags. They do exist. Tripping has had a demonstrable and noticeable effect in the past. Asserting that it doesn't/won't is just ignoring every user's experience besides your own.
>>27147078
>Won't listen to reason
The reasons have been clear and explained thoroughly here. But for some reason the Derpi faggots just want to react to the overreaction instead of what was actually explained. The reasoning against it is just 'lol whynot?' which does nothing.
Alright, that does it. No more impersonators, this is my new trip.

4chan isn't a normal forum.
We value freedom above all. You're absolutly free to post with a name, but everyone else is free to shit on you for it.
You're free to shit up a thread with arguments, because there's no authority there to step in.
Any time a mod does that kind of thing, 4channers go ballistic. Scruffy tried some shit recently so the whole board filled up with porn.
It's the best.

Indeed it ins't, but it would've kept the thread from crashing.
>>27147189
And you still haven't given any reason to go against the purpose of the site and post with a name.
test
>>27147199
Well worth the trade, IMO
>>27147189
I mean, if you just dismiss every reason out of hand then no reason is 'valid' and the only proper reaction is shitposting. Which is why the reaction we've had here today is the standard reaction. People will generally think they know better, no reason to bother trying to reason with them.
>>27147214
>the only proper reaction is shitposting.
Or you could just ignore them. There's always that option.
>>27147189
The reason is "it creates a certain board culture". It has been stated in more detail by others, but I am attempting to bottom line it for you since you seem to still think you have't been given any reasons.
>>27147226
Stupid name got stuck in the bar.
>>27147226
You mean like i'm doing to you? You could just not use a name bro, it would solve everything, now fuck off plz
>>27147139
That still doesn't make the overreaction right. I'd argue Ponychan is different because they are more strict there about dumb shit. The only thing iv'e seen this place be strict about so far is the whole name thing. I actually would rather post anon cause I like it better that way, but I have issue with people trying to enforce the whole "namefagging" thing so much that they get overbearing about it and are just as bad as any annoying twat on Ponychan.
I find the Ponychan comparison weird cause it's saying that people can't control themselves,(some people apparently can't but I dont' know why that should have to control everyone else) just because they have a name on.
>>27147150
That's one thing I like about it, when you guys aren't whining about the name thing you can be pretty cool.
>>27147228
Don't be silly. There's no reason because I say there's no reason. Now go QQ some more while I QQ some more.
>>27147095
I was wagering that the book is needed to make us an undead.
Going back is probably silly but should we atleast consider hiding the book? It would seem we have two problems. The first is the Grue. If we turn off the light we risk being eaten. The second is the undead minions, as far as we know they don't need light and so we are distinguishable from them and risk being caught.
>>27147201
So neither of us has given a reason for our sides.
But here's the difference, you're the one claiming no one should use a feature of the site. You're the one who NEEDS a reason.
>>27147237
The reason we are so cool other than the namefag thing is because of the namefag thing. No identities, no restrictions, no limits. Totally free discourse.
>>27147246
The name field is there for content creators. We told you that.
You're the one claiming that the main feature of the site is valueless.
I think that needs an explanation more than anything.
>>27147243
>>27146389
>Going back is probably silly but should we atleast consider hiding the book
I agree.
>>27147253
>It's for content creators because we say it is.
>It's the main feature of the site because we say it is.
>>27147237
>That's one thing I like about it, when you guys aren't whining about the name thing you can be pretty cool.
You can't have one without the other.
>>27147270
Read the 4chan FAQ, culture section.
Anonymous is enshrined via 2008 era memery.
Thus, you a wrong and a faggot.
>>27147237
It makes it perfectly right. If something needs to be enforced to keep it that way, then the methods of enforcement are justified. Even if they are annoying as fuck.
You got the comparison wrong. I wasn't meaning the enforcement of dumb rules or not. Notice the conversation on Ponychan and how it differs from here. Account for the change in hard rules where you can. Everyone knows each other, most threads have people supporting each other and detracting from each other just because they know them. Personal drama and fighting is quite common. If an Anonymous poster enters a conversation with several namefags then their posts hold less weight. That kind of stuff is fairly common there, and it's because you are identifiable there. The majority is not Anonymous.
Here we have just as many stupid arguments, but notice how the content of the arguments change. Instead of being about people it's about things or content. I can't value your posts higher or lower because you're my buddy, because I don't know who you are. I value your post based on what it says.
>I find the Ponychan comparison weird cause it's saying that people can't control themselves, just because they have a name on.
People don't control themselves in regards to what I'm speaking of, it's subconscious. It's both difficult for people to consciously counter, and most of the time there's no need to put the effort towards that. The only across-the-board counter is to not have names at all except where needed.
That's the environment or 'culture' people want to keep, and one of the defenses of this culture, since it's inception, has been what looks like a massive over-reaction.
>>27147243
>by the time we reach Joy again we're undead

>>27147246
>So neither of us has given a reason for our sides.
No one said that. We've given many reasons, you just say 'nuh uh'. And suddenly, it's like the reasons don't exist! Except they do, and are still valid.
>>27147315
>It makes it perfectly right. If something needs to be enforced to keep it that way, then the methods of enforcement are justified. Even if they are annoying as fuck.

Maybe so, but don't you think it's dumb how this argument went on and on with no one willing to letting it drop.
>>27147249
I still think ignoring the named people would be a better course of action. I'd rather be anon myself, but i find it utterly absurd that a name causes people to lose their heads so much. Ignoring them wouldn't be enabling people to post with names, it would do the opposite. Then whoever the person is can take their name off if they want people to stop being stupid and listen to them.
>>27147273
You can't be chill about things unless you don't have a name? I fail to see why, that's more on you than other people. Like i've said at least a few times now, I'd rather be anon cause it seems like a better system. For the most part, it depends on what you want out of the system.
>>27147315
Not "right" exactly. I see there is logic behind it, but that doesn't mean people should be free to harass people just cause.
>>27147337
You mean that completely valid argument of "because we say so"? Because thats the only argument any of you have used so far.
>>27147345
Nah. It's the internet. That's how it goes. I've gotta get the last post even if it's obvious we both think we've won! Whatever winning means.
Tbh, it wasn't really even an argument for most of it. Just people trying to rail a guy long enough for him to go "Geeze, ok, I'll drop the name".
>>27147364
>Not "right" exactly. I see there is logic behind it, but that doesn't mean people should be free to harass people just cause.
People are free to harass people for whatever reason as long as it's within the bounds of the rules. Generally a bad way to have a thread, but hey, whatever floats your boat.
http://www.4chan.org/rules
"13. Do not use avatars or attach signatures to your posts."
Names and tripcodes are considered some short of signature, and namefagging is a baneable ofense along with avatarfagging.
And this rule has been enforced multiple times, usually when a namefag reaches a high amount of shitposting and hate, to the point were they become a threat to the semi-pacific convivence of the site.
>>27147371
>I can't read
Well. I guess that explains it. Do you need an interpreter to go back through the post and explain what you were too dim-witted to catch on about in sign language?
Welp. All you guys arguing brought it over the bump limit.
ded
>>27147394
Show me one fucking argument that can't be summed up as "because we say so".
>>27147395
I know. And I kept warning them. I told them! I even posted a link to take it to the gen thread. But anyone listened? No! Now the thread's dead. Congrats everyone you make me so proud.
Bunch of neanderthals...
>>27147400
You've already dismissed every reason as "because we say so". There's no reason to spoonfeed you even more for you to dismiss based on nothing. You've decided your stance and you're set in it. If you want to actually go back and read the reasons given to you you're free to. They're in the thread. Some of them are even in the last dozen posts.
But we both know you won't. Because everything that disagrees with your position can't be a real reason! Because you're right!
>>27147415
I prefer denisovans.
>>27147406
Why would you expect that to work? Conversations don't just move like that, especially when people are brand new to 4chan and probably wouldn't understand how anyway.
>>27147400
There have been quite a few, actually. Most were some variation of "it promotes a certain kind of board culture".
>>27147425
Applelock was long one. And the rest here I know should've known better.
>>27147419
"Its a core feature of the site"
"It's site etiquette."
"It's for creators."
And yet no one has explained why.
"It causes circlejerks."
And who are the ones circlejerking? Oh right, the ones crying over a FUCKING NAME.
>>27147444
So you don't know what circlejerking is?
>Guy new to the site comes

Thanks, you really know how to play games. I was afraid we'd die by zombies, but now we gotta wait 2 more days for another thread just to see what happens.
>>27147436
Oh and this one. This ones my favorite. This "board culture". The culture thats exactly the same as any board with names. Yeah this one is invalid too.
>>27147444
Why didn't you take this argument to the gen thread? Why?
>>27147457
>derailing and killing it
He didn't derail it. Others complaining about him did.
>>27147444
So what are your refutations to the reasons and the explanations given for each of them? So far the only response I see here is 'nou!'.
People are high fiveing themselves. at /cyoa/
>>27147452
>>27147444
>>27147458
Those are all valid reasons that you're either too stupid to understand or are just ignoring.
>>27147458
>The culture thats exactly the same as any board with names.
Not exactly. People behave differently when anonymous. Most people on 4chan prefer those differences in behavior continue. There is a difference in board culture between here and sites that allow/encourage names.
>>27147502
>one faggot

That's just outright false. If you think that I can see why you don't understand. You might eventually learn but I doubt it.
>>27146389
Emerald follow the stream for a ways. Also think about where would be a safe place to hide. We don't want to be eaten or caught.

>>27147889
That and more.
>>27147889
Well deserved ridicule
>>27147943
I'm not so sure about that. It crashed the the thread. No one wanted that.
>>27147950
Collateral damage. While no one wanted the thread to die, the namefags deserved every bit of the ridicule they received.
>>27147959
I'm sorry that you are that short sighted and petty in your dispute that the death of a thread is just collateral damage.
>>27147980
The thread can be remade in seconds. It's not gone forever...
>>27147987
While namefags are annoying, theres no reason to say anything about it whatsoever. It's childish.
>>27148003
Ok, whatever you think
>>27148003
No, it's a responsibility. Degeneracy is born from complacency.
I'm so sorry for all this arguing QM
