This is a sort of CYOA "mystery" gameboard. The goal is not to solve the "mystery" but to unveil clues so as to make it a mystery, and to uncover the story, the setting, etc. The Rules: The story will be posted a few paragraphs at a time. Nothing is planned at current; you will choose setting and characters. After the setting and characters are chosen, you will obtain 25 Minor Mind Control devices and 10 Total Mind Control devices. At key plot points, you will be given the choice to use one of these Mind Control devices to control the character specified at the key plot point (called an Intersection). A Minor device may control a character's upper thoughts and the character's body functions normally. It only controls the character for two minutes. A Total device controls everything about the character, even violating his/her basic principles, and functions for five minutes. It is up to the collective to decide what to do with these devices. First, we choose the Basic Setting. There are four choices for the Basic Setting time and four for the Basic Setting place. Time: -1993 -2011 (Modern Day) -2012 -2112 Place: -Undiscovered new island along Hawaiian hotspot chain -Unnamed minor forest in Great Basin -Big Ben -Hangzhou
I'm not to sure on this but I guess I'll vote for the setting at least. -2011 in Hangzhou
How about near future 2012 in Hangzhou (I'm interested in what changes you might make to such a major place in communist China).
Deadline for Basic Setting votes is 6:30 PM PST.
1993 Big Ben
2012 Big Ben
2112 undiscovered new island along the Hawaiian hotspot chain.
2012 big ben just to break the 5 way tie
Big Ben; 2012
Just so you guys knows, 2012 Big Ben was already winning.
omg why you guys all pick big ben!? That's hardly any room at all to have an adventure!
2012 Mexico city
The Basic Setting is Big Ben 2012. Now it is time to decide the qualities of the three Potential Detectives. Potential Detective One: Gender -Male -Female Personality Trait One -Kind -Harsh -Eager Personality Trait Two -Calm -Ecstatic -Tryhard Striking Feature -Pink hair -Makes stupid predictions about future -Unable to control toes Potential Detective Two: Gender -Male -Female Personality Trait One -Earnest -Liar -Glutton Personality Trait Two -Youthful -Passionate -Angry Striking Feature -Purple skin -Bespectacled -Wears sunglasses indoors Potential Detective Three: Gender -Male -Female -Androgynous Personality Trait One -Strange -Talkative -Understanding Personality Trait Two -Loving -Benevolent -Asshole Striking Feature (Androgynous has built in Striking Feature [Gonadal dysgenesis]) -Unibrow -Tree climber -Peeper
From now on, to avoid the thread getting too long, you should elect a spokesperson and discuss the proper action amongst yourselves, probably in streamchat.
Male, eager, ecstatic, makes predictions about future. Female, liar, passionate, bespectacled. Female, talkative, loving, peeper.
The Potential Detective trio is now set in stone. I will design profiles for eighteen candidates for supporting characters, out of which seven will be chosen. I will have them out by Saturday. Keep reminding me about it if you want to see this gameboard come to fruition!
I guess I'll post the designs as I finish them. The Potential Detective designs will not be revealed until the game starts. Yes, the characters are all self-inserts in one way or another. They're mostly based off parts of people I know and parts of me, though I did throw a few animu cliches in thr.
The art gets progressively worse as I keep drawing.
The amount of character options has been projected to be reduced to 11. I can't handle any more than that.
Depending on your choices, the story may turn out to be a Mystery, Fantasy, or Romance. Choices include choices made during the actual game and choices made now. >what a non-mystery on /gameboard/ sacrilege You can't blame me. It's made by your choices, and I'm giving it a 40% chance to be Mystery; 30% chance for the other (I'm going to be rolling dice to see if choosing choices oriented towards a certain genre increases the genre points; the die-roll for the Mystery genre is easier.)
>trying to represent every minority ever
