These are probably still a bit vague but as far as getting good suggestions goes, I think the big four are:
1: Make decisions important. The suggesters need to feel their input matters.
2: Make decisions nuanced. Try to avoid making The Obvious Correct Choice an option.
3: Make information available. One piece of advice I've always liked is most of the information you need to know should be in the last three updates.
4: Reward interpolation. This is in tension to #3, but leave chances for better options where the suggesters have remembered other bits of information or have come up with a better plan.

>>125564

To expand on that, make sure there is actually something to suggest before waiting for suggestions.
Also that there isn't just one glaringly obvious path forward, that kind of situation tends to get one reply of 'do the obvious thing' followed by silence.
Balance that with too many paths forward though, too much choice tends to be a flaw in city builder quests that can paralyze discussion.

Early on expect to get the four basic text adventure commands a lot:
Look at thing, use thing, take thing, check quest log.

Try to be wordy enough that 'look at thing' and 'quest log' are mostly taken care of by the story posts. We need context and motivation.

and finally, update despite a low response! A common mistake is to assume questors will do the writing for you. Give your characters some initiative. Whatever character is the focus at the time should essentially be a questor that always posts.

I'm glad the males in chapter 2 are resonating with people, the chapter 1 guys didn't really receive much interest.
Herocea and Rolita are real surprise hits, they were never planned but they're popularity will go a long way to seeing them serve as reoccurring characters!

What's it like all being stuck together? If it was possible to leave the dungeon without the church of purity attacking you all, would all of you take that chance?"

Remia:'we have no off time, we have no on time, we live in the dungeon, it is our only home, its master is our master.'
Mifal: 'sometimes we also feel caged, like the ones we watch, but that is not so, we are not like them, we have the power here.'
Fason: 'we bring the caged pain, it is what we enjoy, it is fun for us, does that makes us bad?, I do not think so.'
Solia: 'it is a great burden, to be five different minds, to only have one body, other get one whole life, but we have to share'
Lareta: 'we hate the surface people, as the surface people hate us, owe will be free soon, then they will all suffer, and we will be happy'

We were focusing on the wrong people. We were waifuing Ada and Hazel, ignoring the perfect husbando. His chains had ignited our passions, for we had our heart chained to him. No one could make us feel the way he made us feel. The lightness of breath, the heat of emotion, the angelic aura about him. He, and the possible interactions we may have had with him, shall be missed.

You're absolutly right but I must call a exorcist to fend off the demon inside your body before you say any cursed words like that.

Starting to get caught up on this story again. I seem to do that, fall behind then catch up with it. Anyway, I found this song a while ago after hearing it on the radio and the tone of it just screamed D3 to me. If D3 were in an anime I would want this to be the opening

Hey!

Why dont you just recycle your other characters from your not current quests? You seem to being doing your best with moot point so I feel like itd be nice to see some cameos now and then from wasps and such

I notice that the five threads of Moot Point so far seem to be lining up with the five levels described here: https://prokopetz.tumblr.com/post/180645572357/

Oh shit, you’re right! XD

It's not really a perfect one-to-one mapping, but there's definitely an overall trend along the scale being measured. For archival purposes, in the all-too-likely event Tumblr implodes:

Level 1: Porn with plot

Level 2: Porn with social commentary

Level 3: Porn with troubling philosophical implications

Level 4: Porn with maddening revelations of humanity’s place in the cosmos

Level 5: Porn with math

I think you omitted a "not" in your post after "please try." Might wanna delete and repost with that fixed while you still can.

>>126597
By 'spoil' I meant put things in spoilers. I think the context makes it clear, but it was a poor wording.

To be clear, if you want to talk spoilers, put them in spoiler brackets.

Deleting it would require me to bother a mod again, So hopefully common sense lets people understand what I meant.

I'm excited for this! I zoomed as soon as I saw "mistborn." Which era are these gonna be in?

hi slinko, i hope things are going better for you now!

An update: Work on DR8 is underway and things should be up and running soon! I got new pills thankfully, it's just taking me a bit to get back into the groove because of the giant downtime.

As I said before, I'm skipping my usual Year End Break (except for a few days around christmas) because I got a break and then some.

As much as being a mental zombie can be counted as 'a break'.

>>126758
but hey at least you got then in the end! hideously late but you finally got them! also I had sportsdrink save your ask blog content because of the great tumblr (and apparently soon the rest of internet) lewd purge as I am sure topless duban ceri and other such pics would not survive it.

Once a quest goes in the archive, you gotta use 'questarch' instead of 'quest' when creating new inter-board >> links. Like so:
>>/questarch/909228
>>/questarch/900075

Also, through mysterious board magic, already existing inter-board >> links to /quest/ posts will still link to the correct post in /questarch/ when the quest is archived. For example, the /quest/ links farther up this thread.

>>126528
Ah, I see. Thanks

Just a heads up: the next update probably won't be out until sometime Saturday or Sunday, at the earliest. I had hoped to get it done earlier, but my free time has been pretty limited lately, between school and family obligations.

>>126524
Yep, that's Sunny alright! naileD mentioned it in >>126417 as well. Channel3 is a friend of mine, so I wanted to throw a Sunny cameo in there for shits and giggles.

Sorry for the wait; things got really busy for me at school again. I'll be done for the term as soon as I finish my final this week, though, and soon after I'll finally draw the next update.

>>126759
Thanks for the info. Good luck with the final!

>>106434
I'm amused that a greedy merchant with a minor in mind control somehow ended up the "heart" of the party, but thank you.

>>106437
Nah, it's fine.

Hey this has 600 posts and a lot of stuff that isn't pertinent, and a title that isn't conducive to new readers finding it. I'm gonna make a new one, and pending the JamesLeng stamp of approval I think it'd be best to move our discussions over there.

I'm probably not permitted to make a new character and join the reboot, but I'm sure it'll still be interesting to watch everyone else's adventure. I updated the wiki page for the reboot.

I'm not the executive speaker, >>106443 but I don't think you're banned, I think JamesLeng was just feeling frustrated with the way you expressed yourself because it felt as though you were constantly unhappy; I'm sure for you it felt as though things were stacked against you and that the GM was out to get you. I think it's just a case of misunderstandings going unaired and being difficult to resolve via text on a screen because of the lack of personal interaction and difficulties conveying emotions.

Again though, outside interpretation of what happened, I can't speak for either of you. Thanks for updating the wiki- I'm gonna find a cover image and make a new discussion thread so after this whole discussion is resolved hopefully we can talk about the quest in a shiny new thread

‘Sit dead?

>>123984
Probably not. RML has been doing a lot of Trash Knight recently, as well as starting V-Town (which has been on hold for a while too). Hopefully they will get back to the snanal sometime soon but they might just be busy at the moment.

RML? RML! RMLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!
Holy shit you're back this is incredible!
Why? You where finally free.
I'm so happy :D

>>125485
On the contrary, I have wanted to resume Coxwette for a long time!

>>124152
This is pretty much right. I have been busy with other things that have made it difficult to keep the update schedule I had before.

Another more minor reason was that I was becoming stressed out with the increasing pressure and controversy surrounding Coxwette updates. This time around, I might be less strictly democratic about how I pick suggestions because I really want to conclude the quest. I hope this is not too frustrating, but the volume of votes and the degree of disagreement with each major update was becoming a serious burden.

I do not want to give the impression that I hate the quest or am tired of it. Quite the opposite! Running this has been one of the highlights of my life and I am excited to give it an end.

hello rml, i noticed you disabled your fa account from public viewing, are you doing okay?

>>126740
Where was that? I don't remember that happening.

>>126741
I think it was when we pulled the cursed sword from the Ice worm It had an enchantment and we exchange it for another enchanted sword that we currently have.

>>126744
Are you talking about the sword that a wizard discovered an enchantment on it that made whoever held it easier to be possessed? Which caused Zall to put Fen under quarantine out of concern that he might become possessed by the necromancers?

Because that didn’t seem like something that was stolen from a mythril noble’s tomb. Other than the “make you easier to be possessed” enchantment, the only significant thing about it was that it also had a lightweight enchantment.

I think that was just a normal sword that was enchanted for use by the necromancers’ undead soldiers and not something that was stolen from a mythril noble’s tomb.

>>126746
If that is the case then i don't know about recompenses from stolen tomb items.

Motivation: The murder of Hierarchy. To murder public officials in increasing higher positions, culminating with the murder of the Scarlet Empress herself.
Urge (Adorjani): To convince other to mob together in violence against figures of authority.

"Incite the Serpents Which Walk Like Men to liberate An-Teng from the Realm." (I could have sworn this was supposed to have been his urge, JL?)

Confirmed, Urge is "Incite the Serpents Which Walk Like Men to liberate An-Teng from the Realm."

The possibilities for celebratory cataclysms are as yet unsettled.

I'm going to make it compatible with boosts from e.g. Epic Zeal of (Valor), but weaken the effects a bit so each success on the roll only recovers one bashing level or downgrades a lethal level to bashing, and add a clause where if you actually spend a channel of the appropriate virtue, roll double the dice. However, using it to downgrade aggravated damage to lethal requires a repurchase at Resistance 5, Essence 4.

>>126705
oh yeah there's tons of good shit on tgchan. idk where your guy got the idea that that would be a coherent insult. anyway, thanks!

tbh i just kind of fundamentally hate tumblr and i only use it bc of how many people are like, on there and not anywhere else, and i'm probably gonna use it even less what with the nsfw purge and everything, but. knock yourself out lol http://iraprince.tumblr.com/

also like, i feel like this has to be painfully apparent from like.... everything about my work, and how i talk, and just in general everything about me, but fair warning that i am a Filthy SJW which i'm aware is not the main demographic of this site and if that annoys u then you probably aren't gonna enjoy engaging with me on social media. but now that i've given a fair warning nobody can complain about it

>>126725
Eh, the site has changed a lot since the days we were a direct offshoot of 4chan. The remnants of the good old Internet Hate Machine are basically gone, I don’t think your politics are considered especially objectionable.

>>126732
oh, i mean, it’s not like i find the site hostile or anything, or i wouldn’t still be here. i like it here. it’s more that like, people who find my stuff through twitter and tumblr already know what i’m about and have already signed up for it; people who have been here for a long time and know what i’m about and aren’t into it just avoid my stuff, which is fine; but someone who finds my stuff through a third party and then tries to go straight to my social media might find themselves unpleasantly surprised depending on where they stand bc i’m pretty abrasive about it, which again, is fine, but a heads up might spare all parties some awkwardness.
