Art request: draw your self assuming a classical "DAT ASS" position.

Many sympathies. When my hard drive failed my quest files did not escape unscathed, and I now lack all of my early notes and background files for deep

Fan art?

I request you draw a fan.

(this is a back up PC, btw) Thanks every one for the support, the situation has gotten worse, try as I might, my main computer (I have 3) is dead, tommorrow I'm going to take it into the shop to see what can be done, meanwhile I'm going to try to do some work on this one

I'd rather see Imil.

BTW Man, if you feel like it, you can always try drawing something from my quest (AlienQuest)

I am a staunch supporter of Cheren. Ven would be good too.

>>335842
Draw Scalene! [/shamelessselfnomination]

I mean, since I'm not drawing her and all. :V

>>335853
Alternately, in a suggestion that isn't of my own character, you could draw one of the ponies from the pony quests.

OR all of them!

Get on IRC and receive praise

Cheren's expression upon finding a functional and easy-to-use tank.

GET YE A TABLET.

>>335857
Seriously you could benefit so much from a tablet though.

Sorry to hear about your computer. All doze MP3s.

Glad your notes are intact. I'd probably be better off if I kept notes...

>>335853
>>335851
It's probably safe to assume everyone wants something from their own quest.

>>335859

Yeah basically.

Some of these characters I haven't read the quests for, I plan to read them before I draw the fanart so I understand their personalities better.
so it may take me a little while to get to some of them

and as far as tablets go, all my fanarts are drawn when I don't have access to a computer

>>335865
I think people are also assuming that a tablet would help de-shake the linework in Crash Quest, which is presumably a result of mousedrawing more than an artistic thing.

>>335865
Have you read Golem Quest yet? I think you might enjoy the characters found there.

>>335872
Please don't take this as an attempt to incite argument, but it would probably be better, purely from a time-management perspective, to start off with quests that are shorter than War and Peace.

Good to see you're still standing. :)

I hope you get everything back to normal as quickly as possible.

>>335874
Golem Quest is a serious undertaking, it takes a long time to catch up. But it's good. Don't let the length scare you away, but read the other quests first.

>>335872
>>335882

Golem quest is really long and lots of text with no pictures, it'll probably be awhile before I gather the courage to read it

>>335865
I might experiment with a tablet in future quest but at this point I'm afraid it might conflict with the current style, crappy though it may be I would at least like it to be relatively consistant

>>335874
making CrashQuest as long as it is, was probably a mistake, it's length is based off of the old point and click adventure games, that said CrashQuest is probably only going to be 8 chapters long, (more or less depending on what choices you guys make) future quests are going to be a lot shorter

I don't think there's anything wrong with the current art. The style is cartoony - it looks fine.

I'd skip Golem Quest if it was me. Some people love it, some people loathe it.

Nobody's recommended Journey? It's one of the few completed quests on the site and it's very good. It starts off kinda slow and very adventure-gamey, but it kicks off big time when the second party member is introduced.

http://tgchan.org/wiki/Journey_Quest

Oh, and I don't think there's anything wrong with running a longer quest. I think Test was more trying to say that Golem Quest has shitloads of text. It has more words (just the author updates) than Atlas Shrugged (really).

>>335886
Test was talking about the length of Golem and its chronic prose diarreah.

>>335887
Heck yes, Journey if you haven't already.

Definitely read Journey. It's the best.

As for running a quest for a long time, don't worry about it. My main one's been going since the site began (though admittedly I update horribly slowly) and I haven't gotten many complaints on the length of it.

And then of course there's The End...

Journey was the second quest I read, (Bitequest was the first)

also please no quest bashing, (unless it's mine, feel free to tear my quest appart)

Well, now I can really never show you the other fanart I drew.

I'll throw my vote in for Golem Quest, too.

And Journey Quest.

And Bite Quest.

And Ruby Quest. Goddamn why has no-one suggested this.

ALL THE QUESTS

AAAALLL OF THEM

http://tgchan.org/wiki/Talk:Gnome I made a list of things I request people read. Some people have told me it is a pretty okay list.

Also, while we are all self plugging, I'll suggest you read Earth Defense Force, because people tell me that it is probably my best quest yet. I am not sure I always believe them, but it is pretty fun.

Brom's stories are great as well.

When it comes to good quests with their own setting and solid story I suggest Journey, Bite, The End, Riarda, Oren and Deep.

Cutebold Slaughterfest is a mash-up of different worlds put together, but amusing as hell. I suggest you read it as well

Cromanticar is weird as hell but at the same time funny.

Hatchquest is full of communism.

Crowmanticar is also by me and is completed in its entirety. It is really, really weird.

If you want a serious list (Not including Journey or Bitequest as you have read those):

Deep
Island of Onigashima (Kensuyata's Quest)
Gobbo Quest/Fortune's Call
Cutebold Slaughterfest
Alien Quest
Tozol Quest
After Quest
Plessy Quest
Pokemon Quest
The Big City
Robot Quest
The End

Reading the pony quests couldn't hurt either. They're just starting for the most part.

Also, yeah, being in IRC definitely helps. People usually notify the IRC channels when they update, so if there's a quest you particularly like you can set your highlighter to go off when the line "X Quest Update" or "X quest updated" appears and be instantly notified when an update has gone up.

I'm sorry if I gave the wrong impression, but I'm not looking for quests to read, (most of the suggestions I've already read anyways,)

I just meant to clarify, that some requests may take longer than others (especially if they're text quests"

Well, we all have the wrong impression now. I hope you're happy.

You must feel just TERRIBLE.

>most of the suggestions I've already read anyways
So don't follow requests. Draw what you feel like drawing.

And Aggeia.

my birthday is tomorrow, yay

in way of celebration, I'm going to draw a fun picture of Oken, (CrashQuest quality)

but what aspect of Oken should I focus on?
Heroic? cute? dangerous? strong? pretty? smart? noble? sexy? sad? happy? or just something silly?

>>335956
Hahaha.

Draw Oken on the day before her final AcePilot Academy exam.

I'm slightly surprised that Mint is aroused by that guy. With her size, anything that big will almost literally tear her up.
Either these ice folk are all large and Mint is just a runt, or LW couldn't give a damn about consistency and just made a funny pic.

I just want Oken to be happy... ;_;

>>335958
Interestingly size difference is rather common 'thing' on /quest/ (one of many such 'things' I suppose). I mean: Ryhn/Jerhal, Ridder/Sticks, Mudy/Raital, anything by Freis...

lol, Mint is more of a window shopper in this situation

>>335956
Hail, fellow Scorpio!

Oken as an Ace Pilot, maybe? Like...if you've ever seen Red Dwarf, there was regular Rimmer and then there was Ace Rimmer.

"Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast."

>>335956
That's quite interesting. My birthday is today. Happy birthday to you sir!

Go with Cute.

>>335956
Man, I do wonder what Oken's perverted or more fun sides act like. We've only seen her when she trying to act all tough and strong.
haha my hypothesis was right. She's betraying everyone for gazing at catbutt. Normally somewhat normal but just window shopping? The fiend doesn't even value the alliance enough to consider all that effort worth even a spank. A heartless wench!

>>335993

>>335970
>>335958

I say combine the two ideas. Have oken dreaming of being an ace pilot while she has fallen asleep during a midnight study cram just before the test.

>>335993
So the Astranian Alliance are the bad guys? Because there is no way in hell you can be considered a 'good guy' with a flag like THAT.

They appear to be the Less Bad guys. The More Bad guys are the brain-eating mind control bugs.

I think you've drawn plenty of fan art. Draw Fuze in girl clothes.

>>336005
silly Rurik, the alliance's flag doesn't make them evil, the mass counts of genocide does!

>>336006
can you be more specific?

>336017
Reading the quest, at first I thought "That's weird. Why did Oken refer to that lady as 'he'?" Maybe it's just the cute art style or that he's the first guy we've seen without huge shoulders, but he came off as girly looking. I didn't have any specific clothes in mind. Just something to confirm or deny this.
Drawing him in his overalls/labcoat would be pretty good, too.

it's not entirely your imagination, Fuze is an intellectual of slim build, he is also quite young, and a little effeminate at that, on top of that, the Astranian genders differences are much more visibly subtle. and I suppose it doesn't help that all the other male characters thus far have been burly combat soldiers.

long story short, Fuze is a girly man.

>>336032
>>336006
The current characters as the cast of Scooby Doo.
Prince as the Mystery Machine.
Oken as Shaggy.
Enrad as Scooby.
Hoft as Fred.
Mint as Velma.
Fuze as Daphne.

This request has nothing to do with having Enrad wearing only a collar and Fuze in girly clothes.

>>336120
the disturbingly consistent similarities between EarthWorld: Solan's traditional fauna, and the Astranian aliens is a constant source of confusion, fear, and prejudice among the Solar people. Colonial scientist have gone to great length to explain this phenomenon, they have concluded it is almost certain that the Astranians evolved on a near parallel course with Solan, but with out any influence or connnection to it.

theres also a lot of deeper meaning bullshit to it as well, but I'm not going to bore you guys with all that

Remember how I did that Dream thingy back in chapter 3, what did you guys think of that? should I do it again? if so how could I make it better?

also feel free to post dream deas here

>>336171
No offense, but to me the dream sequence seemed a bit out of place. CrashQuest doesn't give off the existential-questions-raising cryptic-metaphor-filled vibe.

Also, I see that you started another quest. While I am surely glad to see this, please keep in mind that the more little projects you start, the harder it is to update them in a timely fashion.
Personally, as a DM, I constantly have to tell myself to hold my horses and suppress the desire to start several more campaigns/projects (probably on this board too).

>>336195
yeah I was getting the same impression about the Dream thing,

as for the other Quest, I have no intentions of doing 2 quests at once, Pinkskin quest is intended to be relatively short, (I'm hoping 1 thread), until it's done or I finish the first thread, CrashQuest will be on hold.

What? No, the Dream was a great idea. You mean >>/questarch/243737 right?

I thought the whole thing was about being caught between evil Astranian empire and eviller psychic space bugs. If you're at the home base of whatever produces these bugs then they could use nightmares as a form of attack! It'd be silly not to have nightmares when they're around! Imagine how bad it would be trying to sleep in the city!

I mean, that's just my speculation on it. You're the one who decides what it's about.

>>336238
actually, pretty sure BOTH sides have been bugged. and the war is just to feed them.

>>336240
How do you know that?

that is why i am pretty sure, not confirmed.

>>336240
For some reason, I get that gut feeling that the bugs are just a pawn (and I mean the guy/s controlling the bugs, not the bugs themselves).

And the war is not made to feed them, they nuked Oken's planet, a paradise world filled with "food"...

http://quest.lv/wiki/Insomnia

I feel untold hatred towards Zane and the Astranian Alliance for the arena in Pinkskin Quest. Good job Lonely World.

>>336451
That's not the intent, unless you have untold hatred for the other side too. Neither faction is the good one.

>>336465
All are pawns of the glorious bug master race. Beware their insidious rule.

To quote Mneme...

"You've been singled out as a stooge, a fall-guy to get killed ingloriously in battle with a bunch of stupid pinkskins. Basically what I'm saying is you are supposed to lose, so that the Astranian empire can trick its audience into thinking pinkskins are more vicious and dangerous than they really are. Your valor doesn't matter, they just need a corpse. The game was rigged from the beginning. They even doped up the pinkies with pain suppressants before sending them out. You might have thought that the empire was siding with you giving you all those handy lasers and useless bombs, but in reality they see you as just another conniving Nokkin to be used and discarded. They never really were on your side."

o_o fucking hell... I mean, I wanted to help out Zane before, and I'd like to help her out now, but, well, we can't. I mean hell. She is the main character this chapter, this is her story, and I'd like to see it end well but we only have the power to make it end horribly.

I'd pour strong hydrochloride on her, if you know what I mean.

I'm really curious about this board's general appreciation of Zane, considering the circumstances. Is it because we just appreciate the odds against her and are rooting for the underdog? Or is it simply that the board is predominantly secretly furry?

-Z

>>336481
>predominantly secretly furry

Take out 'secretly' and you're dead right.

>>336481
-She's the only character with established goals other than "Survive"
-Her goals are at least somewhat noble, in that she's trying to prove to society that her people are as brave and strong as the rest
-She actually has personality as established by ITQ
-The humans are stereotypes who are voted on based on their equipment and stats rather than personality/goals, and are as disposable as any other grunt as nothing happens if they die. -Zane will have lots of crying children and a further demoralized race as a result of her death.
-If Zane dies, the quest ends. If all the humans die, the quest also ends, but the humans are likely going to be shot anyways and Zane might continue to give hope for her fans.

In short, she's likable and there's no reason to root for anyone else.

>>336483
No, in short, the universe is a better place with her alive where there's no point in the humans surviving. They're POW's, they can't change anything, and even though it's a pipe dream, Zane has a CHANCE, and might just make some lives better in the process.

>>336481
The majority's probably rooting for Zane because CrashQuest started on the Astranian side.
I'm not rooting for Zane though. The pinkskins are prisoners of war forced to die for entertainment of the opposing side. It's much worse than dying in battle, whichever side is good/bad (they're both ll grey it seems).

"No! We must kill the underdog!" they shouted.
The announcer said "No, pinkskins, you are the underdog".

Our blood cries for revenge! Jose and Scott must be avenged! We cannot rest before we have impaled Zane's head on some sort of a stick, stolen her energy-weapons and caused chaos!

>>336485

The majority is rooting for Zane because she is cute.

The end.

>>336483

Why this is all bullshit:

>-She's the only character with established goals other than "Survive"

Only in the ITQ thread, where nobody has even asked any of te humans what sort of goals they have.

>-She actually has personality as established by ITQ

Nobody has asked anyone else nearly as many questions, of course she has more of a fucking personality.

>-Zane will have lots of crying children and a further demoralized race as a result of her death.

And nobody mourns the loss of the human soldiers (and non-combat personnel that the astranians are dragging in as well, as evidenced by Janine), right?

If this was a human walking down a line and executing a bunch of bound astranian captives to build morale, you wouldn't be rooting for him. And that meets this justification just as well.

>and Zane might continue to give hope for her fans.

Her genocide-supporting, rigged bloodsport-watching fans.

I'm rooting for the humans because opting to say 'let's just lose' is fucking retarded and our input is on the human side. And because the POWs are by default less despicable than someone sent to slaughter a bunch of people with vastly superior equipment.

>>336487
>Only in the ITQ thread, where nobody has even asked any of te humans what sort of goals they have.

Because they're stereotypes and less interesting.

>And nobody mourns the loss of the human soldiers (and non-combat personnel that the astranians are dragging in as well, as evidenced by Janine), right?

Wrong. They're already MIA, even folks back home are coming to terms with the fact that they're probably dead or will be soon. Zane on the other hand, is a local hero.

So which is going to have more effect, a soldier killed on a distant planet who was already listed as missing or captured in the records, or the soldier who is going to be killed right in front of the people who not only love them, but look up to them?

>If this was a human walking down a line and executing a bunch of bound astranian captives to build morale, you wouldn't be rooting for him. And that meets this justification just as well.

This ISN'T to build morale, this is a set up to kill Zane and put her people back in their place before this upstart starts shitting things up for her superiors by elevating Nokkin to a more equal status.

>Her genocide-supporting, rigged bloodsport-watching fans.

The situation's broken but it looks like she's determined this is the best way.

>I'm rooting for the humans because opting to say 'let's just lose' is fucking retarded and our input is on the human side. And because the POWs are by default less despicable than someone sent to slaughter a bunch of people with vastly superior equipment.

Superior equipment I find suspect as her equipment is almost gone already, but otherwise, that's my main problem with this quest. The "best" character is the one we have to kill to "win." The only way to win is to be a part of the system, kill someone for the announcer and the people who rigged this match, and help subjugate a race of people under the others as a result. The entire quest is a massive catch 22, because Zane surviving is pretty much impossible yet that's the only "good" outcome. Let's face it, even if the humans win, they're not going free. So, it's like Wargames, the only winning move is not to play.

It's sometimes hard to tell who's right and who's wrong, I was kinda hoping this wouldn't turn into a Kyaos like thing, but oh well I guess I should have known better

>>336489

>Because they're stereotypes

So is Zane.

>and less interesting.

You mean less cute. You have no idea how interesting they are because you haven't even tried to talk to them.

>or the soldier who is going to be killed right in front of the people who not only love them, but look up to them?

She's not a soldier, she's a -gladiator-.

And demoralizing the genocidal astranians is only a good thing.

>this is a set up to kill Zane and put her people back in their place before this upstart starts shitting things up for her superiors by elevating Nokkin to a more equal status.

Cool assumption, bro. Perhaps the humans would have something other than 'board with a nail in it' and 'one weapon that can inflict noticable damage on the gladiator's shields' if this were the case? And perhaps in such a case the announcer would also not be making false announcements in order to lure the humans into Zane's traps?

>Superior equipment I find suspect

Then you're an idiot. We still haven't even seen what the grenades she has can do, nor any sort of ammo limitation on her rifle. Or hand laser.

>The entire quest is a massive catch 22, because Zane surviving is pretty much impossible yet that's the only "good" outcome.

Zane is a brutal murderer killing non-combat personnel that she has a massive advantage over for her own agenda.

Fuck her. She deserves nothing better than death at the hands of the people she is trying to toy with.

>>336489
>the only winning move is not to play
It's pretty damn clear not playing will get the humans killed and that would suck for them and all the Aster-whatevers would just get a disappointing match. I'm pretty sure there's already like a bunch of strikers outside the arena saying this is cruel like with Terror is Reality in Dead Rising 2. Think about the Roman collisium as well. Those who didn't fight didn't gain any sympathy from the audience. They got dead.

I also like how you just say all the humans are stereotypical when we've only had two humans answer question. That's racist man. Your racist

>>336490
Oh but a dilemma is so much more entertaining than a simple choice. I know who I'm hoping for and why, but it's how the other viewers see things that intrigue me. And LW, being able to produce something that at first glance seems simple and yet so easily spirals out of control into a many-faceted moral quandary would certainly make ME feel like a successful storyteller. Bravo to you for what you've done, intentional or no.

And demoralizing the genocidal astranians is only a good thing.
This wouldn't demoralize them over gladiatorial combat, only prove that a certain race is not fit to serve and are a bunch of cowards and weaklings.

>Zane is a brutal murderer killing non-combat personnel that she has a massive advantage over for her own agenda.
Her agenda is to uplift her own kind. I have no problems with that and wish her the best.

>Cool assumption, bro. Perhaps the humans would have something other than 'board with a nail in it' and 'one weapon that can inflict noticable damage on the gladiator's shields' if this were the case? And perhaps in such a case the announcer would also not be making false announcements in order to lure the humans into Zane's traps?
Read Mneme's post. It's really, really not hard to put two and two together.

>>336490
Hey, LonelyWorld, you know what solved all that and made everyone happy?

Kyaos was defeated, broken, lost her loved one and lost her eye, but she lived.

I'd say that's a fair trade.

>>336494

>Read Mneme's post.

I did. It's just as unsubstantiated.

the 9 humans versus one alien reminded me of christians and lions in rome.

quite frankly, it would be boring any other way. zane will surely never ally with humans due to the reason it picked the job of gladiator, the human's chance of survival can be resumed as none due to the fact they are in the center of the enemy city. there will be no rescue, no actual goal to accomplish, no means to steal a transport to return home, no light in the end of the tunnel, but simply hoping that the hole they will die will be big enought to make the aliens think twice before attacking.

its like furry space nazis versus france.

But we can stop talking about Kyaos now since it isn't really relevant. Get the thread back on Crash/Pinkskin.

>>336498
Only a bad decision to those who can't compromise.

>>336500
"Compromise" is not how you build a narrative.

Well it's kinda lame and cliche but uhh why was it really a bad decision? She's just a stupid evil bitch, did it really matter if she lived or died as long as she lost?

Is the lame part mainly what makes it bad or am I just an idiot and can't get it from a storytelling perspective? I didn't really care about Kyoas's fate at all, again just wanted her to lose.

Same with Zane really. She has a sympathetic side sorta sure but so do the humans. Since we're playing them lets kill her. I don't play games to save the opponent in the end, just kick their ass.

>>336502
No, but it's how you deal with highly polarized fans.

>>336499
That's not true in the least. He said that he wouldn't have killed Kyaos without killing Tav as well, and only expressed regret in the sense of "That could have been cool." Not a real regret at all.

I'm rooting for the humans.

>>336507
If nothing else, we must ensure that Scott's beard was not lost in vain.

Manly tears. Manly tears.

>>336507
Ditto. No offense to Zane or anything, but she's a gladiator and they're all POWs. Rooting for her is like rooting for the lions eating the christians...
which I guess the romans did do, technically, but whatever. They were jerks.

>>336506
Her and Tav both dieing would have been a much better end imo.

Count me in as a clearly pro-human individual as well.

Let me make some things clear.

I'm not saying to sabotage the humans or otherwise not try to kill Zane in the quest itself.

When I say I'm rooting for Zane, I'm saying "Gee, I sure hope she lives, even though there's a 99% chance that she won't" and most of the posts I've made here are not saying we should just order the humans to kill themselves, but bemoan that this is the decision we have to make in the first place.

Of course, /quest/ is going to say to kill her. What option does it have? Purposefully lose? We're not going to do that, that's silly. Telling the humans to lose or not use lethal force is a terrible idea too, as we're controlling them and as /quest/ is essentially role-playing, doing so would be a stupid and out of character thing to do.

By saying "The only winning move is not to play" I was saying that since a desired outcome is frankly impossible I would rather not partake in the quest any longer, as it cannot end with a "Good" outcome for either side and so there is nothing, in my opinion, to play for. The humans aren't going to get back to their families, Zane isn't going to be able to help her people, there is no point other than a petty "Let's take one down with us!" and that, as I said, results in a bad end still as the only available one to kill is one of the few "good ones."

I am not the greatest orator nor am I great at writing, but the intention of the other posts was to explain why some people prefer Zane over the humans. It was not meant to be an argument on why people should pick Zane over the humans, even though it quickly became one.

Now, just because I don't like the apparent outcomes does not mean that anyone who doesn't care or isn't insane/stupid/whatever you want to say I am should not enjoy the quest. It's well written and I applaud LW for making a quest with more of a moral dilemma than any quest has before, or at least one that has gotten people so fired up. The quest will continue without me, people will continue to enjoy it, and nothing of value will be lost.

Humans kick ass. Humans!

>>336515
I'm really sorry about this, I never wanted to turn readers away

what I want is to tell the best story possible, if that story involves Zane being killed I want to tell it, if it involves her surviving I want to tell it, I don't want to write a story that people don't want to read

Anyone who says that it is impossible to save everyone is not trying hard enough. Finding a solution where there is none is what we DO around here. We have to keep breaking the carefully prepared scenario until it an opening appears. Firing the rocket at the prison door was an excellent first step.

Caring about the characters is a good second step.

Shit yes dude. If we believe we can make magic happen.

That's not going to help poor zane or her folk

>>336515
While I was at first inclined to applaud you for trying to make your point so well, between stating the dilemma to be the greatest on /tg/ and declaring that "the quest will continue without [me]", I'm going to have to dismiss you as melodramatic.

Still, we can all agree that whatever our personal values and goals, LonelyWorld's providing good service, no?

>>336518

Don't worry, and over everything, don't try to change what you do just to please everybody, because you won't. And in this case, it's just about an individual that is rather clingy for evil furry mistresses.

Keep up the good job, everybody loves the quest, just see how many suggestions you get.

>>336520

I'm a bit tired of /quest/'s attitude of "everybody can be saved" and "all the evil guys will turn good if you hug them hard enough". That only works in the Care Bears and Miyazaki films, dude.

>I'm a bit tired of /quest/'s attitude of "everybody can be saved" and "all the evil guys will turn good if you hug them hard enough". That only works in the Care Bears and Miyazaki films, dude.
Yeah, I just want to murder some assholes and do it in a cool, stylin' way.

I want Zane to die in the worst way possible. Simply seeing her face without her mask, all that hatred directed to the humans as a whole, and her responses in the Inside the Quest thread made me detest everything about her and her race. I want her lofty ideals to come crashing down upon her as her world burns.

>>336518
The best story possible is what is best for the story in your opinion, not anyone else's. If you feel a character should be killed off for the sake of the story or to prove a point or whatever so long as it's a good reason, do it. I'm a pretty blatant hypocrite when it comes to killing off characters.

>>336518
Don't compromise with us. We're readers, some are suggesters, but none of us are co-authors, and shouldn't be. I don't want to solve a puzzle (a moral one, in this case) knowing that my actions will alter its basic premise. There's a lot of articles on DMing and this approach to storytelling has the danger of ruining your players' sense of accomplishment.

Where we stand in PsQ his is a good setup to make a moral point, to express an outlook, and to add detail to the setting (and I sure hope this grows into a setting, if only so that we can call it "LonelyVerse" :P).

Emergent narrative depth is amusing, isn't it?

While I'm at it, I want to cheer you and say I'm glad CrashQuest and PinkskinQuest appeared on this board, and while I wouldn't call the latter "a quest with more of a moral dilemma than any quest has before", it presents interesting choices.
It's funny how you can never say if a quest has potential or not. For the first half of CQ's first chapter I was almost driven off by less-than-satisfactory spelling (sorry, it really gets in the way for me), but that feeling passed later on.
What is important now is not to flop into an imitation of other quests. A number of new quests here started as emulations of more successful quests, but never got anywhere.
Sorry if I look like I'm giving uninvited advice, but there's a reason for that last part (when we entered the vault, I couldn't help but think "great, another facility-gone-mad background").

>>336540

I disagree in one point, there's no moral dilemma in Pinkskin Quest, unless we try to force it in.

We, the suggesters, are (or control, if you prefer) the pinkskins. They're prisoners that are being slaughtered for shits and giggles. They don't have a moral choice, they haven't been given any kind of choice. Their only chance of survival (at least for now, we don't even know if they're going to kill them all anyways after the show.) is to kill their adversary, who is better equiped and armed.

There's no grounds for any kind of choices. Unless you count sitting on the ground and wait to be executed as one of them.

I'm not critiquing this or anything, it's just how it is. People are talking like we can change the war just by our actions in here.

>>336520
hahaha oh u

The surviving humans will be put back in storage for the next episode until eventually they're all dead. :3

I'll repeat what other people have said because I just woke up and don't want to read more law.

You cannot please everyone. Trying to please everyone will turn things into a mess, and people have different likes and different tastes. I stop reading things for a variety of reasons - just not liking a character or the direction of the story - but that doesn't mean those authors are bad, it just means their quests aren't my thing. The person up there wasn't saying that your quest is bad, he just doesn't want to see that character get killed or whatever. Letting them get their way (which isn't even what they're asking for) by compromising the story you want to tell will just alienate other people who are enjoying what you have at the moment.

People are going to argue about quests, and there are oodles of folks who want to hug every problem till there is no bad anymore, but lots of us would rather see quests where the characters aren't black and white, and every character that is likable isn't destined to be a good guy.

People arguing about your quest is awesome - it means they really enjoy what you are doing and care about the outcome, so keep doing what you're doing.

I'd say the "best story possible" has as many humans surviving as possible and zane living, but that's me. I don't think anyone said this was a bad quest though, in fact I'd say any quest that gets people worked up like this is a great one.

>>336557
I think that would be the worst ending possible, because it would be impossible to do without forcing Lonely World to write the story through hoops. Either Zane should die or all the humans should die, in a contest like this. Otherwise it feels like some kind of ass pull.

>>336542
No no
The surviving humans [WHO ARE STILL IN CAPTIVITY] will be put back in storage for the next episode until eventually they're all dead. Stop accepting the situation as it was handed to you. Start breaking it until an opening appears.

You just gotta believe!

>>336563
>it would be impossible to do without forcing Lonely World to write the story through hoops.

Not at all, actually. It's a sci-fi setting, it's extremely easy to have a character survive something just so long as they're not completely blown to smithereens or their head is blown apart. Really, a character can even be straight up killed and then brought back all cyborg'd out or just with their missing parts regrown in a tube, pretty much the only exception is if their brain is completely destroyed and even that didn't stop a certain Tozol from making a full recovery, though admittedly sans memories.

She's a star gladiator and a popular local hero, it's not much of a stretch at all that, say, a shady benefactor wanting her skills for his own use would pay to have her brought back, Mass Effect 2 style, or even the military for special operations, or even more simply the tournament folks if fan demand is strong enough, though that's less likely. Still, I think it'd be pretty cool to see her show up in Crash back from the dead.

>>336569
Oh, and as an added note, LW still determines where every shot goes and where every hit lands, as well as everything that happens at the end of the match (security swarms in, weapons are locked down, situation is covered up as soon as possible, etc) so it's double super easy to have the coon survive but critically injured if not straight up killed and brought back from the dead.

a lot of the combat stuff is stat based, and dice are used for a great majority of battles, but it's generally very loose,

but ultimately, anything can happen in a quest, if you feel frustrated by the situation try thinking out side the box! this isn't a video game, we aren't limited by the programming!

>>336569
Argh.

Just.

Stop.

Please.

Honestly, you're worse than Star Trek writers. In fact, there's a point---let's see if we can't make a bridge collapse out from under her. :V

>>336572
Well, no, doing anything but use lethal force here is kinda silly. The humans have no reason not to and even if presented with a situation where they could take her hostage they probably won't, with /quest/ suggesting the much safer option of just killing her rather than allow her to kill another pinkskin through some manner of getting out of a hold and grabbing that axe or something, not to mention there's a sizable group that just wants her dead in the first place.

>>336573

So every sci-fi story that's revived a dead or near dead character through cybernetics or other medical treatment is terrible? Because I hate to break it to you, but most sci-fi franchises have done this at some point or another, if not multiple times (I'm looking at you, Star Wars).

I'm guessing Zane decided to take it up a notch or got recently very lucky with the dice rolls since she's got Sam down to 0 health in a single attack move, and he's only alive like how L4D teammates survive on pain killed with transparent health. He's probably going to bleed to death now.

Did he get hit in an artery or something? Scott took a hell of a lot of shots before having to resort to painkiller/transparent health (granted he had a lot of girth but I'm also guessing nothing vital was hit)

>>336577
>most pop sci-fi is terrible
Pretty much! Undermines any narrative impact if death has no real consequences.

Scott was disgustingly tough, he was like a walking tank

Zane was prepared, affectively using the shotgun as bate

Look at how many questions and fanart pics she's gotten. She's more popular than anyone but Oken. LW would be crazy to kill her off permanently.

oh BTW expect death to be permanent, as a rule I prefer to make it easier to save people than bring them back from the dead

though sometimes it unclear if they ever really died . . .

That doesn't mean she can't die. Look at Kamina. Being popular doesn't make you immortal.

She's not immortal but a lot more people want her to live for a variety of reasons. We are making this choice.

Oh, and that >>/quest/257362 is just metagaming.

>>336742
"Eye for an eye" is not how civilized people react. Fight all-out when you're fighting, but the situation changed when she fell unconcious.

Also, beating about Zane and wearing her scalp like a hat means not being able to pay any attention to Midori's injuries.

>>336744
Oh, yeah, that pissed me off. Seriously, people, what the fuck.

>>336747
And then everyone involved died horribly painful deaths anyway.

True heroes don't kill unless it is absolutely necessary. Here, it was not necessary.

>>336762
People who aren't complete sociopaths don't kill unless it's necessary, and even the fuzzy use of "necessary" that encompasses war is still pretty disapproving when it comes to killing people who are no longer capable of defending themselves or taking hostile action. Hors de Combat. Look it up.

>>336765
On top of that, Superman never kills because it's never necessary for him. Batman never does it because he has a responsibility of being a goddamn symbol for his shitty city.

They really aren't heroes anyway. Closest may be Batman since he isn't a significant threat to the world as a whole thanks to his normalcy. If he was actually a hero he would have put down Joker a long ass time ago because there's no shame in killing that insane fuck who never learns and just puts more and more people in danger the more he stays alive.

What's your plan? A chapter of CrashQuest? Another similarly unrelated one-shot? Something else?

I don't really see the "everyone is good thing"

If people bombarded me every day for more of any of my quests you can be damn sure I would update more often. But then, I don't think people will bug LW any more than what they do for Crash already.

here are some references to clear up some confusion

Fig.A: Astranians as a race suffer from a severe inferiority complex do almost entirely to their small frail bodies. as a result almost all Astranian clothing and armour is designed to make the wearer appear as big and bulky as is practical. big hair and fluffed tails are also employed often for the same effect

Fig.B: Astranians have very flexible shoulders this sometimes effects the appearance of their necks

Fig.C: Oken has hairless, leathery, two fingered hands, as do all other Dorau, though most other Astranians have three fingers.
Almost All Astranians have black or dark grey skin, though this is often hard to tell through their thick fur
(If you think different hands look better on Oken, feel free to draw her that way, this is just for clarity)

>>337108
Best end.

>>337100
Ohhh this is very nice, so they are all essentially sub-species of the same core species? Cross-breeding possible?

>>337127
that is correct, technically Astranians are all the same species, despite their appearances

Crossbreeding is possible, however these children usually suffer from a great number of genetic defects and health issues, they rarely survive more then a couple years

the Alliance generally discourages crossbreeding for this reasons

so it's a species that is on the cusp of separation, they are similar enough that the DNA bits still fit together but shoddily.

Ouch, this means they've either been gene-splicing for generations, or... Their interstellar empire is "Fucking Ancient." Which given their tech and traditions I'm leaning towards the latter.

Speaking of time, what is their average lifespan?

>>337131
that pretty much sums it up

using human time (the Astranian standard year is about 10% shorter)

Astranians reach sexual maturity between the ages of 12-15 and on average live to the age of 160, if death by extreme physical trauma is factored in the average age of death is 70

ah, so they were starting to become the Eldar. everyone lives so fucking long that only fighting and killing helps the boredom.

>>337108
Awesome.

>>337135

meaning an eventual furry god of hedonism

geez, having enrad die like that, with no way to save him... it reminds me of that one chapter of bubble bucket that made everyone angry.

>>337162
not really. this was a NOBLE SACRIFICE of badass and awesome. that was a 'whoops i rolled a 1 so she slips and falls to her doom'

Enrads death was a result of a number of poor decisions earlier on

>>337161
You don't need the Internet to predict that one; ancient mythology will do.

>>337135
>>337161

Not quite, Astranians live in near constant shame of their own physical inadequacies

as such rarely feel comfortable or safe enough around even each other to publicly engage their hedonistic pleasures

their long lives are usually spent in toiling years perfecting skills that make up for their many weaknesses

>>337173
Hmmm for them to have been aware of these inadequacies means that there must have been constantly other, larger, more physically fit species around to compare with. Possible even back on the homeworld (like the cutebolds in CBSF, who once they invented mecha went on a genocide spree to make sure 'all the monsters can never hurt us again".)

In that light it's likely the many worlds of their empire were "previously inhabited."

>their long lives are usually spent in toiling years perfecting skills that make up for their many weaknesses
(well fuck, that just makes them Craftworlders as opposed to pre-fall Eldar.)

>>337173
Does this mindset predate their contact with humanity? It seems like if they didn't have something to compare themselves to before they wouldn't call themselves "weak" because, well, there wouldn't be a frame of reference. Or... is there something else that caused this?

this began when they discovered interstellar travel, the Astranians have encountered dozens of different Alien societies, every single race they have ever encountered has been taller and bigger than they are

They seem rather strong for their size, though.

>>337177
Oken is rather strong and healthy, but she is more the exception then the rule,

But yes Astranians are stronger then a human child the same size, but compared to other bigger creatures they don't even begin to measure up

I try to stay consistent to this, but often cartoon physics make them appear a lot stronger than they should be . . . maybe they're on combat drugs . . .

Assuming even halfway similar biology, small things are always "strong for their size." Strength increases linearly while mass increases cubically with size. They are still objectively weak though. And objectively adorable.

160 years is not really making them magical furry space elves. That's human lifespan in the absence of disease and with minor gene therapy. If you insist on comparing them to 40K, space marines live longer. >_<

Not that you should compare anything to 40k and expect a reasonable comparison.

>>337180
With "Minor Gene Therapy" he said. It's plausible enough for space fantasy.

>>337178
This is something we talked about back in the day when we first started talking about sergals - muscle density. Chimps are stronger than humans due to having denser muscles, it could be entirely possible that Astranians are just as "strong" as humans, but due to a human's greater size and mass the humans can perform much better physical feats (lifting objects, running with a bigger stride, etc) than astranians. It could also be possible that they wear powered armor, or like you said have stimulants that they inject or are automatically injected into their systems during battle.

If they had powered armor they could wear heavier armor as a result and treat it as if it were nothing, thereby helping out with the whole "much bigger than you" thing vs humans and not let themselves be picked up and thrown around as easily.

Power Armor and combat drugs both have serious drawbacks. There's nothing inherently unrealistic about eschewing them.

Besides. Physical armor isn't how Astranians protect themselves. They use shield generators which, as we've seen, renders them incredibly durable against human smallarms. It's unlikely that using powered armor would allow them to withstand human anti-vehicle weapons, which is what you need to hurt one anyway.

>>337195
Hrm, true.

so why is hoft so big?

Hoft is wearing bulky body armour and shiled generators, it makes him look a lot bigger than actually he is

though he does work out a bit

in response to comment from the quest
>THAT'S NOT HOW COLDS WORK

Fuze is well aware of that,

he's probably just being depressing
or refering to somethings else

if you have an objection of this sort, please post it in this thread, so as not to distract from the quest

>>337209

Thank you. May I refer the rest of the posters to the prior pic of Granny Fuze? ( >>336117 )

I want to see a picture of Hoft sans power armor

the interplanetary flag for the "Solar Militia"

also a vote

in my next quest, who should the protagonists be, the Astranians , or the Solars?

>>337459
Astranians.

>>337459
Solars.

Solars.

Solars

Solars.

>>337459
Solars!

Astranians. I'm a rebel.

Depends on the context of the quest. But in general I find little furry people more amusing to deal with, so put me down for them.

Astranians.

Solars. If there's a war with humanity involved, chances are I'll side with them no matter how cute the opposing side is.

Also, >>/quest/259943 has weird size ratios and height proportions. Here >>/quest/247493 Hoft should be at Enrad's shoulder level, and should be higher than Oken.

Was it a mistake on the author's part, is their current tiny size canon, or is that pirate just super-tall? We may never know.

Astranians. If there's a war between Humanity and Xenos, I'll always side with the Xenos.

Except in the case of Avatar.

But this is different.

>>337473
the pirate dude is really tall (notice the door)

Oken is average height for an Astranian, she is 3' 9" or 113 cm

their small but not THAT tiny

Astranians!

Solars!

Astranians.

Solars.

I'm curious to see this conflict from their point of view.

Furr-I mean Astranians.

Solar

Hey, LW? Love your stuff but we really need to start having information before it's not useful anymore, or at least not as useful.

Like the raytech guns being submerged in water. Nobody knew they'd stop working when wet, and if the characters knew that but the players did not, they should have commented on it before jumping in or automatically held the guns up to keep them dry.

This lucky earring ability would have been great to have a while ago when they had just started entering the pirate town, before they had given away their weapons.

Both of those things being seemingly added in with no prior knowledge of them makes them seem forced for whatever reason. There's no rulebook for your setting, we're learning things as we go, and our lack of knowledge about something the characters know about shouldn't punish them when there's no way for us to know about them.

>>337499
I'm not trying to punish you guys, I have the setting in my mind, there's a ton of stuff you don't know, if Oken should know something I'll have her mention it, and there for give you fair warning

Oken didn't know about the water thing, or didn't remember, as a StarPilot it doesn't come up much. as far as the earing, Oken doesn't know about that either

I chose to inform the questers about the earing now, because now might be a really good time to use it

think of the [LuckyEaring] as a character, it works when it chooses too, and right now you just gained control of this character

>>337459
Lets get some Solar action in here.

gonna say Astranians ... they just seem a bit more amusing. I'm also curious about this ridiculous Alliance thing.

Oh, and who knows, mebeh we can meet Tiny Deer's brother (if you know what I mean).

>>337501
I'm so far okay with this.

Astranians

Solars

HFY, solars

Solars

Astranians.

Fun Fact:

10% of the last 50 posts are from IDs with no other posts.

Guilders.
:V

Solars

>>337537

oh yeah, Solars btw.

>>337537
Alot of us have dynamic IPs.

>>337537
My IP reset after the thanksgiving break since my computer was shut down the whole time.

I have a laptop and go to college. this is a common thing.

it also means I can get banned from 4chan as much as I want.

>>337537
I go back and forth between two ISPs, both of which give dynamic IPs.

>>337385
btw I totally answered your request

>>337537
Sad Fact:

People with no understanding about how IPs and ISPs work being mods and messing around with information they can't comprehend.

>>/quest/260627
Embarrassed Fuze is hilarious.

>>337561
Yes you did. And very well done, sir. I love the update in general, and will choose to mention the fact that the men seem to have skimpier lower underwear than the ladies. Perhaps an Astranian custom?

>>337562

And it is certainly convenient that these dynamic IPs only seem to pop up long enough to get in a single post (and no more, ever) in long-running polls, isn't it!

I'm going to need a tiny deer to fill the void in my heart that tiny deer will leave, so I'm going to say Astranians.

Maybe next time we'll have a young boy named Bambi.

>>337565
heh yeah, I'm sure he does't find this very funny though

>>337569
thanks, I'm glad you like it,
to answer your question, it's probably to balance out the women's skimpier tops

>>337570
don't worry about it,
I'm planning to do both an Astranian quest and Solar quest, the vote is more to decide which to do first

>>337572

Oh, I'm not trying to say that NOPE VOTING IS UNACCEPTABLE BECAUSE PEOPLE VOTE STUFF (they do, btw. No matter how much people might cry about it, I happen to know for a fact that people votestuff here). I was just pointing it out because it is amusing to me how much more frequently dynamic IPs come into play at vote time.

Besides, the 1-post votes have a slim chance of being legitimate and are balanced between the two options anyway =V

>Males get regular shirts going down to waist
>Females get shirts covering barely more than a swimsuit
I think I might have an idea who designed outfits for the Astranian military :3c

>>337561
Wow, didn't expect Hoft to be that smaller without the power armor. I thought he'd be all beef'n'muscle.

Also, guys, thanks for not wasting the earring. We should only resort to it when tthere's imminent death in, like, next update.

>I think I might have an idea who designed outfits for the Astranian military :3c

. . . I don't get it, is that a thing from FMA?

>Wow, didn't expect Hoft to be that smaller without the power armor. I thought he'd be all beef'n'muscle.

actually he is in pretty good shape, if you compare him to Fuze, Astranians don't really get that big
