/cyoag/ - CYOA General

OC???

I never post actual builds for CYOAs because who would want to read them, but I make them for most of the ones that are posted.

I never believed in the whole "nosebleed because of arousal" thing until I met a guy in uni who literally had regular nose bleeding like that and had to go to the bathroom in the middle of a lecture because he was staring at a cute girl who sat in front of him. The more you know.

If you're that kind of person, would you not start carrying around handkerchiefs so you wouldn't have to keep leaving lectures?

People are dumb, user.

>giving a fuck about people that may not exist
Kek^2

I thought I understood that, and yet I keep seeing new lows.

That's a rather fabulous unicorn.

He actually did carry a lot of handkerchiefs with him. He got out because he had a nose spray of some sort for those cases.

I mean, you can just use a nose spray anywhere, but that's much more understandable, at least.

Gamer-bro. No question.

Source on the Mousling please?

No events?
Also have this extra one I wrote for Cute but replaced.

First Date of course! Was tempted with Long Night, I'm a sucker for challenging games and often reminisce about past gaming experiences pertaining to that.

Trap- study session. Grades are important after all

>First date
Excellent choice!
Don't make him too anxious okay? He's trying his very best to romance you.

I wasn't really interested in any of them and was going to choose "inexperienced" mostly for the sweet apartment, but Book Club definitely makes me want to choose "Cute".

Where are events for Discreet?

I'll just take the way back, thanks. Grom would also be another contender. Bros before hos.

It's actually a simple thing, arousal raises blood pressure and some people have weak blood vessels in the nose leading them to easily getting bloody noses, with blood pressure being a main cause. Though there are actually various facial expressions and other actions that can redirect more blood to the nose as well, making the chance worse.

Personally I'm just curious why the hell japan latched onto it so hard.

>I wasn't really interested in any of them
How come? Bad writing or something else?
If you like it how come you don't want to tell us who you'd pick? I won't bite!

Asians tend to have more blood vessels in the face then Caucasians (or other ethnicities), making both the full-face "anime blush" more common among them.

that's because he has cancer, not because of arousal

I'm only like a 1 or a 2 on the Kinsey scale. If I'm gonna do something exclusively homosexual, I need a good reason, is all. "Cute" and "Trap" are both attractive enough physically, but neither of them particularly had personalities/events that interested me. Adding "Book Club" to cute adds another facet to his personality such that I might actually consider a relationship with him. Your writing is fine (barring a few typos), it's just not entirely my cup of tea. I have very specific tastes when it comes to that, is all.

After WWII, the Americans imposed a set of laws on Japan to direct its growth, which included a censorship law. The actual historical pros and cons of the American cultural hegemony are way beyond a wish-fulfillment thread on a 2chan knockoff, but the point is that Japanese authors had to come up with creative ways to circumvent the ban, hence things like nosebleeds and tentacle porn.

That would be pointless, there is no single option to a Fujoshi. We devour them all.

I couldn't come up with anything for him and it's not like anybody picked him.
Thank you.

>the Americans imposed a set of laws on Japan to direct its growth, which included a censorship law.
That's not what happened, a law that already existed was reinterpreted, in part due to an american influence that it should not apply to people criticizing the government, which it previously was primarily interpreted as applying to. The law itself is really vague and largely just refers to banning obscenity or immoral speech and art.

Tentacle porn was a thing way before WWII.

Don't respond to her. Please...

One day SDA will assfuck her straight.

Who the fuck is SDA? I mean, I've seen them around, but I need some backstory.

Gotta go fast

Made "Stardust" and other CYOAs with varying degree of popularity.

Necromancer update when?

Okay, Stardust is pretty cool.

But how does that give them the resume to buttfuck someone straight?

Conduit update when?

That doesn't, their open and declared anal fetish does.

Everyone hates Angel, and around half of the people on this thread hates SDA so they wish they would fuck eachother and stop shitposting constantly. The other half worships SDA and thinks he is so mighty his cock can turn lesbians straight.

Aaaah, that's the kind of background I was looking for.

But there really are.....

Why not? I didn't do anything wrong!

Why people keep saying that!? Please stop. Mega gross!

Because you deserve it, bitch.

I did literally nothing wrong. And it's incredibly fucked up to call random people bitches and say they deserve to be raped and crap. I'm just here for dank cyoas. So you can stop with the bully shitposting now.

Sounds about right.

I don't call random people bitches and tell they deserve to be raped. I call that you, because you totaly deserve.

Also, I remember the last time you posted that pic. Proud of that one?

I call samefag on this thread.

>Also, I remember the last time you posted that pic. Proud of that one?
Context?

Can you both shut up? please?

She got annoyed with all the rape stuff and went on a rant about male genocide.

I never did anything wrong and I never hurt anyone! Why would you say something horrible like I should be raped? You need help!!!!!

Second.

Just hide their posts, user.

It's not like anything else is happening in the thread. I'd rather watch back-and-forth, no matter how autistic it is, than have nothing happen.

You will need much more help than that when SDA gets to your chocolate starfish.

POst cyoas then

Are you okay with forced drawbacks, or do you prefer your builds to be completely optimal? If you hate forced drawbacks, how would you balance your build without them?

What do you mean "forced drawbacks"? Also, balance is an abstract that means different things to different people. Some people will actively take every single drawback available just to imagine how they'll beat it with all their powers. Other people will feel like they lose if the CYOA doesn't just tell them they win.

I'm fine with forced drawbacks. Makes the end result more rounded.

... that makes no fucking sense. She goes on and on about her massive rape fetish and her recent builds all revolve around it (and getting bred by a dick but she claims that's not true).

I like having drawbacks. I prefer non-forced, but depending on how severe they are, I enjoy playing CYOAs with them.

I generally don't like forced anything, especially if it involves random rolls, but I do tend to take drawbacks when they are presented as an optional choice so that I can make my little scenario more interesting.

I enjoy both breaking the balance and making thematic builds (if the CYOA is complex enough). I don't mind forced drawbacks as long as the entire CYOA is not filled with "you lose no matter what" nonsense like the one made by that guy, what's his name; he made a lot of CYOAs about weird runes.

>Are you okay with forced drawbacks
No. Having drawbacks as an option is fine, but forcing them on you is not.
>If you hate forced drawbacks, how would you balance your build without them?
What exactly do you mean by "balance"?

Really, it depends on the context. Drawbacks tend to get in the way of power fantasies or comfy CYOAs, but fit right in with horror or grittier stories.

Liminal Phrenic aka. "even if you chose nothing you still get assraped"

>What do you mean "forced drawbacks"?
Let's say you can be rich, but you MUST take a 30% income tax on anything gained from the CYOA. Stuff like that.

>What exactly do you mean by "balance"?
Imagine a Superhero CYOA. In that context; almost everyone would rather have Superman's powers than Batman's powers. If you wanted to make it a real choice, you would need to "balancr" both options. Maybe by enforcing Superman's inherent weakness to Kryptonite, for example. So a Superhero CYOA might force you to pick a Kryptonite equivalent for major superpowers.

Yes, that's the one!

What's even his problem? Can't he just make fun CYOAs that don't involve dying or sacrificing your soul or something like that. It's like he had a hard life and tries to force his suffering on others.

>point about balance

See, that's not forced. That's still a choice. I can choose to be Batman and not have any drawbacks, or I can choose to be Superman, but to afford that, I'd have to take drawbacks.

This. Also, drawbacks are fine if you get something in return, even if you're forced to take at least one drawback. Sections like "pick a drawback because fuck you" are just wasting space.

>It's like he had a hard life and tries to force his suffering on others.
Probably

In that case, I would much prefer elective drawbacks that then allow me to take stronger powers rather than stronger powers having inherent drawbacks. Partly because I'd probably prefer certain drawbacks with certain powers for flavor/min-maxing reasons, and also because psychologically it feels better. I'm choosing to do something, rather than being forced to do something. Even if at the end of the day they still have pretty much the same effect.

So instead of

>You can take Batman's powers or Superman's powers but you're weak to kryptonite.

I'd prefer it as

>You have one point. Batman powers cost one point. Superman powers cost two points. Get an extra point for taking weakness to kryptonite.

Does that make sense?

This is a more eloquent phrasing of what I was trying to say.

Yeah, I think I see the difference in presensation, though it would be pretty hard to actually implement throughout.

Basically instead of starting off with lots of points but some options have drawbacks associated with them, give less points so you need to take the drawbacks to get what you want. Same result but it gives the player an illusion of being on top.

If you don't take Tabitha, you're pretty much admitting to being gay.

Excuse me, the one where she's vegan is too cruel even for a joke.

Wait what, I didn't even read the CYOA. Isn't she just a hippy giant monster?

...

>But why does this assume the player is a guy?
I always just assume my flatness and shabby clothes get me mistaken for one. It entertains me.

Reverse traps are nice.

It's an ancient joke from /cyoag/. Back when Harem user first made this, someone commented that Tabitha would've been perfect if only she wasn't explicitly said to be vegan. In a rare show of compassion, Harem user consented and made this alternative version where it's only slightly implied by her general hippiness but not spelled out, so everyone can imagine she eats whatever they like.

...

I've made a build for every cyoa I've saved, but I never posted one in a thread.

I like to use them as writing fodder, to sort of warm-up the mind, you know? Which reminds me--thanks for existing, cyoag & authors.

>thanks authors with empty words instead of builds that prove he actually read it
