Made Blood Drink II a little less gamey than the first one, hope everyone enjoyed it. I might do a third one some way down the line or actually continue a different quest if I find the time/energy.

I loved it. I wouldn't mind having a Blood Drink once in a while. Short and sweet.

Are you planning to continue an old quest or start a fresh one?

>>136232
I currently have no real plans for anything. I'm beginning my new job soon so there's a chance that'll mess with any free time I've got. I like doing little Blood Drink threads though so maybe I'll make more of those if I get the chance.

Cool! Good luck with that. Let's hope that you get some free time.

Quest has been renamed "Artificial." New thread is here:

>>/quest/1010182

Alternative titles that I did not wind up going with include "The Day the Earth Stood Still, but some weird stuff happens," "An Immature Escapist Power Fantasy," and the title you get by reading the first letter of every sentence in the first post of this thread.

>IRAQUEST

Goddamnit. It was hiding in plain sight the entire time.

>>/quest/1010652
I want to make sure what's going on here is understood. All the externally-verifiable events depicted in the first thread happened as you saw. The actions Mike took actually happened. All the non-verifiable stuff like internal dialogue did not necessarily actually happen as depicted. That's just Ira's brain subconsciously building a retroactive narrative around the idea that you are the same voices Mike was hearing.

For example, here Mike and Ira have a conversation about how altered states of mind, like dreams, can sometimes pull out memories you had forgotten:
>>/questarch/881877
He tells her about the interrogation dream, but not the hurricane one. Later, when he springs the information about the hurricane that wiped out North Sentinel Island, he doesn't bring up the hurricane dreams at all.
>>/questarch/1008931
That's because the Hurricane dreams didn't necessarily actually happen. They're just Ira trying to subconsciously justify why he didn't bring it up until later by tying it in to their earlier dream conversation.

The things you did in the first thread did matter, because they led Mike to take the actions he took. It's just that, in the context of the narrative, they're not things you guys specifically did. Mike was hallucinating, and the voices he heard did not necessarily say exactly the things you said. But, whatever was going on in his head was similar enough to produce an outcome that looked the same from the outside. If you had suggested other things, Ira would currently be unconsciously justifying a different set of actions with a dif

In hindsight she "feels" more like a protagonist, too. You did a really good job at this.

I also had a history of running quests with a "blank slate male protagonist with female secondary character that knows more than he does" format. That may have assisted with the smokescreen before I fell off the face of the earth for three years.

Though it might have been a later thread that triggered the ban that created QQ, you’d have to double check.

At the time the QM was running other more prominent quests like

Probably some others too.

For more information i’d ask one of the QQ staff that was around from the beginning. They’re pretty chill people, if you explain what you are doing one of them will probably explain in detail.

>You'll find a fairly in-depth article on that history here by a veteran quester.
FWIW, that was me. :D

By the same token, I might be "vetean" but I'm also EXTREMELY out of the game. (Even though I technically finished a quest a week ago :V )

I wouldn't trust myself as a source very far beyond what I wrote in the essay. One thing that pushed me to write that essay was a desire to write down what I knew before I forgot it. I haven't really been keeping up with questing since 2014.

>>128777
I'm not sure if MSPFA died when I made the original chart, but it should definitely reflect it now.

Actually, remind me, what year did it die?


By the way, something that was mentioned in the replies to that essay was how Spacebattles had text-based proto-quests which actually predated Problem Sleuth, though they really failed to gain any traction. However, it might be worth mentioning since SB later turned into a huge text-questing site via cross-pollination from /tg/.
(Its "Roleplaying, Quests, & Story Debates" subforum has 8 million posts(!) However, only a portion of those are actual quests, because the forum owners hate quests and won't give them a subforum for some reason.

Seriously, it's nuts how big the community exploded despite actively hostile administration that keeps shoving it in corners.)

>>129003
SB administration just seems hostile in general. I guess they're used to it.

>>129003
The MSPA forum, which contained the Forum Adventure board, went down at the end of March 2016. However, the MSPFA site which was a seperate place that had the purpose of mirroring forum adventures, saw a huge increase in adventures being started there, even though there wasnt a way to send commands there. What started happening a lot was people hosted adventures there and used a discord server or the tumblr ask function or something else to get commands (theres a comment feature thats been added since then though). The Omegaupdate forum was also made as a stand-in when the MSPA forum died and it has a Forum Adventure board, but it sees way less use than MSPFA.
So basically, MSPA-inspired quests didn't exactly die when the MSPA forum closed, they just went through a big change. A lot of the older users went to Eagle Time or never returned afterwards, and I would consider Eagle Time distinct from MSPA stuff at this point.

>>129010
I finally found the time to read your history "quest".
Thanks for your research effort ten11, this was very informative.

If there's one criticism I'd have, it's that seeing the graphs of daily created adventures, I was more curious about daily *updated* adventures (or "active" adventures, i.e. recently updated ones)

Really happy to hear that! I'm trying hard to avoid dumping too much information now, since I feel like I may be overwhelming readers with too much information.

Here's another one of these sorts of things I found on the interwebs.

I assume I can use this thread for shards?
Cuz I just had a thought on it charcuterie, Chi.
Back in the previous year it was mentioned that we were as strong as a human soldier, which was impressive since our kind are generally weaker than humans.
I thought, oh that's cool, we stronk.
It somehow didn't occur to me that we were A FREAKING NINE YEAR OLD.
We weren't even terribly more athletic than average.
Even with the ATHLETIC PHYSIQUE bonus it's kind of absurd!
At this rate of growth we could end up with HERCULEAN STRENGTH.

Normally I would be super gung ho about magic n stuff, but y'know...
If we got a gift, might as well lean into it.

Just theorizing, I was thinking about similarities between awakening, Cat's power, and Magitech runes

Awakened people's power has an element affinity that are categorized by color according to Mint, while magitech's scripting manuals each represents by color what kind of rune it is as well.

Also, it seems whenever Cat awakens someone, they sometimes have a vision before receiving their power (Willamina seeing her great grandmother in her vision) and when Chi finished her rune, she had a hallucination of a node in the sky sucking up the light in a grassy field.

maybe these are just awakened powers in rune form or something.

>> 135733
Made an EDMANGO’s QUESTS thread. So feel free to speculate there now.
But, as clarification. The AVERAGE human soldier is like a normal human person who doesn't exercise at all in this setting. Just a normal person who was conscripted to be a guard for a town. Which, is still pretty fucking crazy for a 9 year old to be that strong. But you did pay for it, so you get what you paid for!

>> 135734
Interesting theory.

I have two questions for ya, Edmango.
First off, is there any overlap of concepts between Shards and Catalyst? Stuff like Karma and Soul quality and such, im wondering if theyre a thing in both, mostly just for artifact purposes.
And second, How do you feel about uh, Non character specific Awakened ability suggestion? Just like ideas for ones that might be around in the future somewhere.

>>135750

There’s overlapping concepts yeah. Soul treasures are just like extremely rediculously rare. And sure I love awakened power ideas. The more the merrier! And if you don’t mind can you suggest in the Edmango’a Quests thread? Wanna have that one be the main one convos happen in now if possible.

>>96158
I was a bit surprised to find 16-bit DLLs in this archive. The images are easy enough to extract, but the string tables less so (Visual 2005 gives me mojibake), and the order of strings in it is a bit weird, especially when I don't know how to access the string tables' resource IDs with my hex editor.

...I know what could help me: Does anyone have a link to the documentation that says which string ID is supposed to mean what?

>>96168
Whoops no wait, I found it on the old app's thread ( >>/questdis/5059 )

>>95430
You can just play them natively here with no issues.

For getting the strings out with a hex editor, it's good to note that the strings are packed in groups of 16, and the index of the block id is 1/16th of the string id.

>>96195
I know they're packed in groups of 16, the part that confused me was that the last two "stripping" quotes (936 & 937) are apart from the others.
(plus the fact the string bundles are stored in reverse order)

But now that I got the list of string IDs and what they mean, all became clear.

I feel like, just to avoid confusion, I should point out that this thread is out of date.

Where else can we go? You’ve already taken away most of the autonomy we had, and expressed vehemently that we’re not going back to Ana before, still haven’t really forgiven or forgotten that one by the way. Here’s what is probably going to happen, I bet money this is what is going to happen knowing your track record.

So we’re dead, and something is going to come along and either resurrect us which is a long shot, but who knows maybe Laura and Dreamwalker will show up. But I’m willing to bet something else is gonna show up, offer us ANOTHER deal, because you seem to love that trope so much where the option is live or die, which you know, isn’t really a choice it’s just another railroad option. How’s that? That somewhere in the ball park?
