>>94125465Lobotomize Kleidi
Gateway has run its course. Get new attentionwhore material like other authors, aro.
>>94125088Remember when this CYOA mindbroke /cyoag/? Good times.
>>94125566No, i am relatively new, what happened?
>>94125580Nothing. This is the equivalent of saying magi case, entropist, or demigod mindbroke /cyoag/. Just some anons that keep the shitposting alive.
>>94125586Newfag.>>94125580Made by AHS, came out during the Skub War, caused a lot of lolifaggot seethe since they saw it as an affront to the original Witch cyoa. Many threads drowned in shitposting and arguments, it was a glorious time.
>>94125598Fuck that wasn't the image I wanted
>>94125598What's your WIP about?
>>94125598>Image of words you can just copy pastelmao, double retard.
Is it bad that I've been here for more than a decade and don't remember the skub war? I remember complaints about PWR but not all the shitposting.
Now I feel like I shouldn't make any CYOAs ever again, considering the one I made a few years ago was so shit.
>>94125711your either lying or have taken significantly long brakes
>>94125733Well I'm not lying and I don't take very long breaks either. I make CYOAs. Maybe, I just didn't notice it because I didn't care for the drama.
>>94125598Absolutely stupid no one gave a fuck about Wizard the one that made people mad was AHS being retarded about his planeswalker one.
Seasonally appropriate pic.
>>94125785now posf witch awakening
>>94125771I just don't know how that's possible, It was thread after thread after thread after thread for a year until our threads balkanized.>>94125782verifiably false
>>94125711No, thread drama is easy to ignore if you just read CYOAs and mentally skip over posts that aren't related to them. At worst, your visits here will be more sparse for a while.
>>94125812
>>94125586Entropist has had two imitators and now Aro and another are trying to link it to their works. It won
>>94125820
>>94125799I was there the planeswalker one was the one that started the shitstorm.I think only Tok cared about Wizard.
>>94125586Three anons to be precise.
>>94125824
>>94125827look, I'm not going to give you a link, but you can go back and read the original thread when it was posted.

>>94126249>>94126250Heaven's Light+ specifically calls the second form intangible.
>>94126281I'll concede the point. I don't read redditsloppa.
>>94126281What about your cloths and other items?
>>94126217Kamikaze retards suicide by stupid has no bearing on the actual cyoa.
>>94126350Holy handwaving, I guess.
>>94126197Scale of Serpents lets you know how reality works, that's something.
Endlings are kind of cool but i'm a bit uncomfortable letting venom symbiotes into my ranks, especially having one on me. As a small example, the idea of fucking with one of those on me makes me uncomfortable.
>>94126385it's almost sartring
>>94126429It's like another Kleidi.
>>94126429Entropy seems to imply that the symbiote has taken control of the demigod host so your fear is not entirely unfounded.
>>94126470They bonded fully into one being with no difference between the two.>>94125919I'll keep her lmao don't worry. I'll probably make a whole section for Pinnacles and Cosmic Entities, and add legion into that.
Italics promised us a Golden Age.But now look at us. It is a Black Age.
>>94126197You're never coming anywhere near the sheer overwhelming might of divinechads
>>94126495Do you mean Dark Age?
>>94126501>only 50x peak human>vs being able to replicate tech and turn yourself into a cyborgPretty sure they could exceed anything divine gets.
>>94126503Dark Ages have hope at the end for a return to the light. Black is what happen Gold is tainted and left to fester.
>>94126493>both died
>>94126509>techbaby can't read or do basic math
>>94126518>can't read>divine shard with samsara boost cap at 50xYou need thread of mind chief.
>>94126493Will you make factions of the various groups like ultima, cosmic entities etc with their own agendas like that anon suggested?Will Persea be in the update?
>>94126493>bipolar sea monstergirl wife is safePhew...
>>94126528Per month. Its once sentence separated by a comma
>>94126493>>94126550>Will Persea be in the update?People have been asking this type of question so much. Say all the ones you're including already.
>>94126556>caps at 50x
>>94126563Per month
>>94126572>eslIt now makes sense, both powers clearly say max is 25 total if you put in the work, boosted to max 50x with samsara. It just takes months of effort to hit that cap.Why is it always the retards that cant read accusing others?
>>94126528The Fists of Ymir boost your strength to 100x, and they stack with any form you take. So for example, if you become a gorilla, you can lift and swing around the statue of liberty with the fists of ymir and the shard of divinity, and it scales even more if you take bigger forms.>>94126562>>94126550Yes of course lmao.
>>94126572I want to say he is right, but the Hands Of Ymir mention the max cap is 50x. It might just be weird wording though, it is probably better if you improve slowly over a number of years.
>>94126587>it might just be weird wordingEsl
>>94126589Who, aro?
SoD is good for charisma and leadership buffs and effectively stacks with everything. It's not super amazing by itself.
>>94126592You. There is no ambiguity in either shard or samsara.
>>94126583List all the demigod and gateway companions you're including for the ultimate god update.
>>94125402Higher-Plane Waifu best Waifu
>>94126594True, mental buffs like mind and thread do this better atguably though. The question is which one nets more mental acuity, shard + mind/thread, or mind + thread?
>>94126578Anon I could take this shit to court and win. Your seethe is irrelevant. >>94126587Aro's fault for not knowing how to use commas then, if that was her intention.
>>94126602Anglerfishbros...
>>94126263dragonfall
>>94126610>Anon I could take this shit to court and win.No you couldnt, esl. I accept your concession, next time read what you're arguing.
>>94126609I don't think they directly do anything for charisma and leadership at all.
>>94126263Still the best>short and to the point>get a lot of power BUT>can't max out everything, need to make choicesEverything I like about CYOAs
>>94126627Do you really think with hyperintelligence you cant improve charisma and leadership?
>>94126632Duh. Otherwise Anon would be the ruler of everything (as he should be).
>>94126627What do you define as 'charisma and lesdership' and how would that not be affected by intellect boosts?
>>94126639Anon is uncharismatic AND a retard.
>>94126632Are savants good at charisma and leadership?
>>94126646>>94126501
>>94126646Yet Anon is hyperintelligent.
>>94126651
>>94126651Do savants have supercomputer minds that are eidetic, can process millions of variables at once, and have all-around massively boosted intellect?Charisma is just knowledge of how to manipulate others behavior.
So we coming out now to defend the rest of the useless choices? Is this the new tactic to make it seem like the cyoa is well made?
>>94126681It was just one anon that misread shard. Even still, thread, mind, and shard are the best echoes. Ash, soul feather and horn at least give you cool magic and shit but arent worth it otherwise, and scale and heart are just worse versions of everything else. At least scale turns you into a dragon, but heart really has nothing going for it.
>>94126700Heart makes you more immortal than any of the others, as well as being one of the more versatile and flexible echoes.
>>94126710>Heart makes you more immortal than any of the otherswot
>>94126710Same level of headcanon as using magic to learn the I win spell.
>>94126672>>94126674I'm just disillusioned with pure INT maxxed characters in fiction.Keep your delusions if you want.
>>94126714It gives you unlimited regeneration and the ability to survive pretty much anything, especially with the upgrade.
>>94126710>heart makes you more immortalIt doesn't provide any resistances or anything aside from regeneration, which doesnt protect from total body destruction anyways since you cant regen your brain (genetic legacy helps this somewhat, but not enough). And it provides nothing for flexibility or versatility. You can... grow tentacles or turn into a dog... wow... meanwhile mindthreadchads are busybuilding dyson sphere superlasers and even the other middleground powers are disintegrating continents.
>>94126700>At least scale turns you into a dragonThis is completely worth everything.
>>94126736Its ironic that the best usage for genetic legscy i've seen was emperorfag using it to make bioandroid slaves.
>>94126728Nice gun bro. Beats fantasyfags any day of the week~
Just watched that Longlegs movie with Nicholas Cage, and it reminded me of the Black Magic cyoa for some reason.
>>94126762The fuck else are you gonna use it for?
>>94125145I laughed, thanks.>>94126762Probably the biggest boost to Heart is copying Endling genetics if you ally with them, but that was definitely a great idea.
>>94126818You just described toks fetish.
>>94126829You have me at a loss here, anon.
>>94126844>using heart to turn into a symbiote and be a skinsuit for your husband
>>94126852Not what I meant at all kek
>>94126852This is the worse thing I ever read in like a week.
>>94126852Holy fuck my eyes.
>>94125378>Guys I'm looking for an old Steven universe CYOA.>I think it had two parts about building your personal pearl and then choosing how it looks?Gem Doll, by GemAnon?
>>94126985
First six aspects are re-written, how do they look anons?
>>94126993
>>94126999
>>94127003
>>94126996>bite down hard enough to shatter diamondYou forgot the scale of the cyoa.
>>94127018
>>94127020It's a metaphor not a feat of power lmao.
>>94126892>>94126901>>94126908
>>94127027The metaphor doesn't fit.
>>94127026
>>94126996Did you really, unironically have to use "quadrillions" to describe a countless number of objects? Work on your writing.
>>94127037What's wrong with that?
>>94127036
>>94126996>though everything is fleeting and nothing will last forever>your own fate far in the distant futureGrrrrrrr
>>94127038>What's wrong with that?Sigh . . .not that anon, but quadrillion is a real number. One quadrillion is equivalent to 1 thousand trillions, and thus is very much countable. Good luck with the cyoa.
>>94127042
>>94127038Use "myriad" next time you need to describe something countless.
>>94127049>>94127062Fair nuff.
>>94127057
>>94126996Bitch, why did you reduce the font? Change it back.
>>94127020Ultima all have exceptionally weak bite force, only the destruction aspect lets you escape this curse.
>>94126996Question on the setting metaphysics - aren't Creation and Destruction both aspects of Change?
>>94127091A rite which changes is necessarily a rite which destroys, while something does not need to be destroyed for something to be created.
>>94127091If I had to come up with an antithesis to Change, Stasis (or perhaps Order, if you define Change as Chaos) seems like the most logical fit.Unless there's an in-setting reason, of course.
>>94127102>something does not need to be destroyed for something to be created
>>94127107>This guy can't create matter and energy from nothing.ngmi.
>>94126762Bioandroid women are peak, genetic legacy gives you absolutely nuts potential.
>>94127109>This guy is dying from old agengmi
>>94126996I am taking life to fucking avoid the fleeting-ness not accept it.
>>94127131You will never escape samsara.
>>94125580>No, i am relatively new, what happened?The very, very short answer is that some of the shitposters didn't like the author's first big cyoa (Planeswalker Rising), or the attention it was getting. Supporters and detractors pretty much took over the thread for the second half of 2020 (and first quarter of 2021), the author told us all to go to hell (and left 4chan), and the drama ended when the mods handed down week-long bans to everyone who even touched the argument.Various topics in the argument included the lack of a be-the-girl option, whether the moral code of the Scholars (a guild of planeswalkers) made sense, and whether lolicons were closet pedophiles.
>>94127140>I want to take a giant shit on the concept of life>This means i will take Life and embody its ideals.
>>94127151As an ultima of life, life is whatever I want it to be. Fuck yea im using it to pursue my own selfish ends. Maybe in a few trillion years i'll get bored.
Cyoa to simulate being in lotm?
>>94127165>Bored after a few trillion years>Ultima live for decillions of years at the youngest and infinite at the oldest.
>>94127167
>>94127151>being an ultima of life means you have to only make shitty life that's not immortal>being an ultima of death means you have to obliterate people instead of prolonging existence eternally
>>94127169Yea, maybe then i'll decide to make some shitty life like you want.
>>94127178>>94127189Immortality is a lie.
>>94127200No, its fully within my grasp.
>>94127200True. Both the ultima of death and of life end up either dead or in the retirement home too with the rest of the old ones.
>>94127210>>94127218Immortality in every setting is a lie to bring in brainlets who can't conceive of heat death, big crunches, eldritch gods, or infinity.
>>94127225>retard has no idea what he's talking about, tries to sound smart anywaysMany such cases lately.
>>94125202I think I'm a bit too dim for the magic in this CYOA. What ways are there to avoid dying of old age here? Rejuvenation explicitly only delays the inevitable and you'll still keel over at some point.The only sure way I see is Reincarnation Machine. If you are res a soon as possible you shouldn't have to worry about memory loss, and with Mnemosurface that's not an issue either. But surely there has to be more/better ways than just that?There's also bargaining with demons, I guess. But relying on them to not to screw you over at some point doesn't sound like a good strategy to me.
>>94127231Like you.
>>94127237I accept your concession.
>>94126996The 'pave way for the new' thing doesn't seem like it should be there if Destruction opposes Creation.
>>94127218I like this. Funny image. The options are>You die>You die and go to heaven>You go to the retirement home
>>94125465Can you add telekinetic strength to your own?
>>94127326Yes.
>>94127130Monsterfag is the hero we deserve.
Which of you would choose to shatter instead of going to the retirement home or going to heaven?
>>94126996Oh no no no. Please, ARO-SAMA! I am sorry. I promise I will give you all the builds for all your cyoas. I will give amazing feedback too! Just please... MERCY. Don't send me there.>>94127353Maybe me if aro does not save me.
>>94127353There's also authorhood, which expands your powers but increases your responsibilities. You have to make a cyoa though.
>>94126996Why don't the First let the Last get out of the Void?
>>94127370Author just makes you into an even bigger jobber. Just look at you, tok, and italics. Tok lost his martial arts career. You lost to a hurricane. Italics was ran over by a car.
>>94127379Same reason why a lot of countries don't want immigrants anymore, but imagine if those immigrants literally rewrote reality to change your country to be more like their own, just by being there. That's what the Last do, they fuck reality up just by being there, ESPECIALLY if they're Dreaming.
>>94127370>Become le author inside a cyoa!Metashit is boring and a weak attempt at appearing to have depth. Kind of like sarcasm being lowest form of wit.
>>94127353Heaven sounds like the cop out option, you are too afraid so you hide away in the dream, falling is similar.Scattering contributes the most to reality, you lived a good life. Time to return the favour and give other people the same opportunity. But i dont remember the reason for there being less ultima around so somethng is not working.
>>94127392Why don't the First try to find a way to destroy "the desire the restart the Cycle"? No First would want to become a Last then.
>>94127414Probably most ultima just end up in the retirement home instead of scattering.
>>94127414>Scattering contributes the most to reality, you lived a good life. Time to return the favour and give other people the same opportunity.Why are you here, anon? Why don't you go work your ass off 24/7 for the "greater good"?
>>94127414>But i dont remember the reason for there being less ultima around so somethng is not working.Wasn't it just because most old Ultima(can't remember the name rn) chose to fall or sleep instead of scattering?
>>94127417The Lord is why. The First are still scared of shaking things up too much because they worry that they'll go batshit and start killing everything.>>94127432Yep, also the fact that without Scattering, it takes a long fucking time for new generations to arise naturally.

>>94127428Of course not, anon. He is just saying it because is le good thing to say. He would not actually do it.
>>94127450>He's just saying it for good boy moral points on 4chan of all placesAre you high?
>>94127460Yes, that is what redditors do.
>>94127428>Calling our capitalist society the greater goodFucking depressing, ultima can do whatever the fuck they want longer than i can be alive. After doing all kinds of shit, i´m fine with calling it quits.Ofc if aro removes the old age thing, i won´t complain.
>>94127460are you new?
>>94127432Clearly, the solution is to go scatter the sleeping Ultima and preemptively scatter any Ultima that want to fall.>>94127437>The Lord is why.What does that have to do with not falling?>The First are still scared of shaking things up too muchIf anything, falling is what shakes things up, like in the Kosmachy.>they worry that they'll go batshit and start killing everythingWhy? They can just kill the insane ones they experiment on. It's not life they would get a power boost from not having "the desire the restart the Cycle".
>>94127232Rejuvenation + Panacea (+ Save State?)Rejuvenation + Death Wish?Ego Transfer (+ Homunculus)Change?False ImmortalityMetaknowledge Engine? (purely scientific biological immortality?)Deals with Devils or Judge
Aro make more of our family members selfless enough to scatter once they get too old so I don't have to.
>>94127473I don't think anyone would complain if she did removed it. That being said. Why not the dreaming anon?
>>94127490>>94127473Yeah, i'll probably give in and at least remove the 'monads HAVE to scatter' thing, while also boosting the age limit to become a monad.
>>94127490Nta, but you holp no actual power if you sleep. Your only function is basically to be a pay phone.
>>94127497Aro, I have a question. Are you going to include more quests/events at the end?
>>94127510Probably, and i'll probably add in the multiverse creation section again.
>>94127515>Monads don't have to scatter>Gateway companions>Multiverse creation section
>>94126996What happens if I destroy the Ashen? Can the Ashen be destroyed? I want to get rid of future troubles, nip the problem in the bud.
>>94127504Yeah, that is kind of shit. You get to watch which sounds kinda cucked too. The omniversal cuck chair. Is like being dead with extra responsibilities.
>>94127497>i'll probably give in and at least remove the 'monads HAVE to scatter' thing, while also boosting the age limit to become a monad.What's the new reason for there being so many lost then?
>>94127232My favorite is method is crafting homunculi (preferably after workshopping their Traits using Bloodline Tomb) and Reincarnation Machine into them - their lack of a Soul should reduce or completely remove the living target issue that Reincarnation Machine has, and you can use Mnemosurface to restore any memories you may lose.If you can make a Hommunculi that's fertile, you can even start a farm of them and use it to fuel all your non-void spells easily.Plus with the amount of shit you can use Alteration for, you might be able to use Bloodline Entomb, Change, and Parasitic Engineering to massively extend each Homunculi's shelf life and limit the number of times you need to Reincarnation Machine into them.
>>94127550But you also get to spend eternity in mama Skai's giant cloud bosom as she creates a paradise for you.>>94127532I have no idea if they can be destroyed, they are kind of an inevitability and their combined strength can match any ultima.>>94127560Fatigue, and it probably goes against a Monad's instincts to neither fall, sleep, or scatter, and it will take real willpower to stay together and keep going in spite of that.
is aro considered one of the "cute" authors
>>94127490It´s the principle, like i said, the other options feel like people afraid of dying. My death is the quickest way for the verse to heal and is a natural thing in aroverse anyway. And as i also said, gods live a long time.>>94127497Fatigue, and it probably goes against a Monad's instincts to neither fall, sleep, or scatter, and it will take real willpower to stay together and keep going in spite of that.Based on what i said above i´m probably fucked, but whatever.
>>94127593No. There is not a single author that is cute
>>94127167>>94127581>Fatigue, and it probably goes against a Monad's instincts to neither fall, sleep, or scatter, and it will take real willpower to stay together and keep going in spite of that.Ultimate God. Pretend this is losing control.
>>94127611>There is not a single author that is cuteUhhh... Retard-alert... Beri? Gil?
>>94127581>their combined strength can match any ultima.but can their combined strength match a pantheon?
>>94127581Maybe this is the chance to change the lore. Maybe all the lost are just Monads that sought to gain an even greater understanding/power and that transformed them into the lost or some other crazy shit. Ask PCA for some lore, idk. Go crazy with it.
>>94127611I am, I can dance over all of your body with my cute flesh~
>>94127635Entropistanon...
>>94127611>beri>bliss>tok>gil>celt>sda>pcaall are cute
>>94127621>as you get older/stronger, the desire to restart the Cycle/inclination to lose control becomes stronger tooI can see it.
>>94127564Ah. the classic "grow your own super bodies" method. Good stuff.
>>94127613>>94127658Woops, wrong reply.
>>94127658I can't. This only make sense for a human who gets tired of living his shitty life after a while.
>>94127670You were human though.
>monads don't HAVE to scatter>goes against a Monad's instincts to neither fall, sleep, or scatter, and it will take real willpower to stay together and keep going in spite of thatSo basically, it is just torture for the rest of eternity as you fight every day with your willpower the need to scatter. Honestly, this does not sound much better or like a solution.
>>94127650he wishes
>>94127710You're fucking over your species and stunting the growth of the omniverse for your own personal selfish desires. It sounds like a fair trade.
>>94127737>>94127428
>>94127710So aro really just said>You don't have to kill yourselfReally?>Yes, you will just live the rest of your life holding the intrinsic need to kill yourself. But hey! You are not forced to do it!Amazing.
>>94127716Back to the soul mines, slave.
>>94127737>t. someone who is fucking over humanity right now by being a mindless consumer like everyone else
>>94127754Retarded comparison, scattering is something you can do instantly, while fighting against the system of capitalism is something that no one can do alone regardless of power.
>>94127386>tok>martial arts career
>>94127742She wants you to come back to her, anon. Why are you denying your creator? She will make you happy.
>>94127737Except, you braindead moron, that falling accomplishes the same thing.
Why does aro wants us to kill ourselves so badly? Why did she made an entire cyoa where the lesson is to kill yourself?
>>94127788>Please die and go to heaven to be with Jesus!Christianity level retardation.
>>94127806Why does gil not want players to have fun? Or have sex? Why do authors do anything at all?
>>94126263I always liked this one
>>94127788>my creatorShe didn't create shit. If anyone's the creator, its me.
>>94127830>Or have sex?What?
>>94127838
I think i'm gonna add that gods who Sleep can eventually be reborn by Skai into future generations, i think that's a good balance with falling, scattering, and forcing yourself to stay alive.
>>94127844
>>94127845Very good, but you are not me.
>>94127847
>>94127838That one is probably the best vampire cyoa there is. Despite being in a kind of unfinished state, and the author vanishing.
>>94127855
>>94127858
>>94127849Very me, but you are not good.
>>94127862
>>94127867
>>94127873
>>94127842He loves cucking anons, the sick fuck
>>94127880
>>94127845But that fucks with the lore dont it? Now falling is worthess. And it kind of kills the whole scattering concept.Just remove the impulse to kill yourself instead if you wish to go down this path.
>>94127788
>>94127885
>>94127856That was tok's second author account.
>>94127892
>>94127881isn't that the other guy?
>>94127888Maybe we can get a lore rework. I think the cyoa needs it anyways.
>>94127897
>>94127914
>>94127904>>94127888I could change it so those who Fall do so to escape the cycle, to embrace the Void, to reach beyond their ken and try to attain some unique greatness, like what this guy said >>94127628
>>94127531Oh i forgot to mention; Corruption and eldritch/fallen powers will be back.
>>94127923The Fallen want to >>94127890.
>>94127923I like this one. It also opens it as an alternative that a player might want to actively pursue not just to avoid death, but because they want to be more. Anyways, I am up for anything that gives more options in a cyoa.
The the lack of dwarf cyoa’s is disturbing
>>94127890aieeeeeeeee get your hand off my mother
>>94127928Will you expand on them now that you are making falling something that seems to be related to reaching a unique greatness?
>>94127923Does this mean that ultima civilization is still a thing? Since not that many would intentionally fall nor permanently remain dead and instead reincarnate?
>>94127942What the fuck is homestuck and why can I not understand what I look up? Is it kids larping???
>>94127957nta, but I can see many willingly falling just to be even more than they already are. Just look at cyoag. Everyone is obsessed with power.
>>94127960Its an internet-style creation myth webcomic, where a video game manifests in reality with the sole purpose of destroying the universe and creating a new one with the players as its gods.
>>94127900no
>>94127965How much of that is because we're mostly powerless NEETs, wagies, and asylum escapees IRL? I bet 90% of us would mellow out after a thousand years of exploding planets and crushing deific pussy.
Choose three knights to defend you, the rest of the knights will try to kill you.
>>94127975You are probably right. This whole wagie shit has me wanting to scatter IRL.
>>94127989Gave me a chuckle.
>>94127989>>94128004>anon scatters and his particles spread to the farthest corners of the earth>they reincarnate into a dozen more wagies
>>94127965Yes. Power. I want POWER. POWER. POWER. POWER.>>94127975>mellow outNever considered it and never will.
>>94128014Bejita...
>>94128014>JobjitaI can't believe anon is going to sacrifice himself to save us from the LordI always thought he was just a selfish power-hungry bastard, I never knew he had the heart of a hero inside him.
>>94128046>the LordEvery time I see that, I go "what Lord?" for a split second. I will split aro's head if she doesn't give him an actual title in the update.
Is aro still here to ask her a question? Or did she went to sleep?
>>94128099Still here, what's up.
>>94128104Give "the Lord" a fucking discernable title. N T A
>>94128104So, I want to know. I remember the topic of the player not being special among other ultimas was brought up in another thread. You mentioned the possibility in the new update to gain more ultimate powers. So I had two questions for this. The first is if this is going to be something truly unique for the player or are other ultimas also able to do this. The second is if you are going to buff the lord. I personally think you should buff him to have all aspects if the answer to question one is yes. It also makes more sense that he went insane and that it took a lot of effort to take him out.
Hmm... what if the cannibal lord had his own tenth title, which was previously held by however many Ultimas, but after his upstart Skai discontinued it and the then-current holders switched out of the heinous association?
>>94128135>I personally think you should buff him to have all aspectsNo. Aro, do not listen to him.
I don't want to just be a creator god, I want to be a conquerer god.
>>94128154Don't you want an epic final battle against him?
>>94128135Still not sure about either, but i'm leaning towards having it apply to all ultima.>>94128145>>94128130his title was Lord lmao, i can specify him as the Lord of Time though.
I don't want to just be a conqueror god, I want to conquer my way to be a god
>>94128158All aspects is too op. Aro was saying you get 1 more. It wouldn't be an epic final battle, it would be Caliborn squishing bugs.
You know, Ultimas of Time in a twin pantheon with a Space counterpart have the opportunity to do something really funny
>>94128168>his title was Lord lmaoPic fucking related.>i can specify him as the Lord of Time thoughDO IT.
>>94128168>Still not sure about either, but i'm leaning towards having it apply to all ultima.I see. My opinion on this would be to just leave it how it currently is if that is the case. Because I think this only makes the lord less impressive, while at the same time, keeping the player as average. So there really is no benefit in either direction.
>>94128168Make it so that all ultimas can get 2 with no risk. Any more and they would have to worry about compatibility, acquisition order, and other stuff or else risk insanity. Caliborn eats like 5 extra without caring and goes giga insane.
>>94128228>>94128168That just ruins the aspect lore if everyone can do it. It at least made a little more sense if it was like 1 or 3 ultimas that were like that.
>>94128244How does only a few ultimas being super duper speshul make more sense?
>>94125812Pharon my beloved.
>>94128252I mean. We already have one in the lore though I guess he went insane.
>>94128260He's not special. He just got a second aspect and went insane. Any ultimata can do that.
>>94128168What is the deal with ski? Why cant she just sit on the Lord until he dies? She is a true god (immortal). Does she just not care?
>>94128252Because there can always be exceptions to everything. It is more believable that a strange situation happened that leads to an ultima being formed with aspects, than every ultima having multiple when the lore was setup as everyone just having one.
>>94127894not a chanceTok has his foul corruption woven into to every cyoa of hisyou can smell it with one look
>>94128281She gave the ultima a mcguffin that allowed them to imprison the Lord forever, since he's also true immortal.
>>94128281>Does she just not care?Of course not. Why else would the Last exist?
>>94128320When is she giving me something too?
Ok so I like giving my CYOAs some personal touches.Has anyone ever made multiple versions of the same CYOA but making different assumptions about the background of the player?For example 2 different intro pages that details how you end up in the situation at the start of the game.For example one for a native trained all your life to fill that role vs a self insert one where you end up there by luck and some serious potential you are yet to exploit?
>>94128354There's a whole quest about that, anon. Find her first.
>>94128168Stop inorganically saying "lmao" in every single one of your posts, stupid bitch. Even when you're samefagging and trying to pretend it's someone else, it's an easy tell every time.
>>94128320Everything came from her, the Lord has only 2 aspects. Surely she can put an end to the problem.>>94128334Not for long, new meta incoming.
>>94126700>>94126736>you can turn into a dog wowIt's been mentioned before but she thinks this is a good ability for some reason and refuses to buff Heart
>>94128168Nah I wanna be speshul.
>>94128393Calm down.
>>94128407Your father should've left you even earlier.
>>94128390Nah, this sexist shit where male ultimas have to find the creator has been going on for a gorillion years. Time to make a change. She has to find me!
>>94128402Ivory has a conceptual weakness against dogs so it's the secret meta strat
>>94128390How good looking is ski? Can she have kids?
>>94128402Meh, i've kinda just accepted mindthread as the only way to play. You can do everything anyways through tech, i mean fuck the cylinder is considered 'fairly low-tech' so megastructures are fully within your grasp, really the limit for what you can build or do is only limited by how much creativity you have and how fast you can get it built.
>>94128438>Can she have kids>The last version was literally 'Children of Ski'>You play as one of her children
>>94128429White woman moment...
>>94128168I also wanna be speshul, aro please.
>>94128438
>>94128449Her internal name is Knockers, the White Woman, so it fits.>>94128458Well...
>>94127091>Security>Service>Coasts>Bathhouse>Waterway>Hospital>Defences>Faithful Housemaid>Vigilant Guard>Sociable Greeter>Vigilant Bookkeeper>Varangian Soldiers>Labour Guilds>Mercenary Company>Friendly Competition>Embrace
>>94128411Your mother should have tried harder to abort you.
>>94128440You're not wrong, it's just disappointing that you're right.
>>94128463Aro can ski take on a humanoid form and have kids!
>>94128440>i've kinda just accepted mindthread as the only way to playIntelligence >>> strength because you're weak has been the conclusion since the start.If anything, the addition of thread only served to stifle the little creative freedom left. At least when there was only mind, people could take any other echo they wanted.
>>94128537Its okay. It is to bait all the people from the hugbox into picking the bad options.
>>94128440tech is the best option because it's the only option with an inherent "growth" system that lets you grow out of being weak.
>>94128562False flagging? There's no way anyone is this retarded.
>>94128582I'm sleep deprived right now, there's no limit to how retarded I can be.
>>94128590Remember your promise. Then go to sleep.
What happens when you have kids in Ultimate God? Do they become OP demigods that buck break standard pleb gods?This anons post made me think of it >>94128533
>>94128614Depends on who you fuck.
>>94128550You can get other Echoes in play. You should choose them with this in mind.
>>94128514WTF, WHY IS THERE SECRETLY A NEW THREAD?!?!?!
>>94128622That changes nothing. Mindthread is still the best by far.
>>94128623To post all the slop at the start
>>94128562You're correct, the other anon is retarded.
>>94128622If anything that just makes it worse. That makes your choices irrelevant and the only thing that matters is picking whichever echoes lets you steal the others faster and easier, which once again, is mindthread.
>>94128622this is a lie, btw. There is nothing that suggests you can get other echoes.
>>94128677That bitch ivory did it. Then again, she is the author's pet.
>>94128689She sacrificed her soul and her sanity to make a pact with an Ancient One, and she explicitly steals Flames, not Echoes.
>>94128689She stole sparks to increase her power, not echoes to get different traits.
>>94128706>>94128702Did aro not said she has all of them anyways?
>>94128689Here's one thing you'll always have over her, your nexus build is canonically the backstory for your UG build so she's fated to lose your weakest jobber build.
>>94128751we're pretending the other origins don't exist so don't talk about them
>>94128677Keymasters like the player are artificial creations. Read Legacy of Janus. Your powers aren't something sacred and untouchable.
The reason mindthread are so good is because they are some of the only echoes that boost non-magical traits. Intelligence and the ability to store blueprints has no bearing on your actual ability, Technology acts a crutch since you can make handheld gigasuperlasers or bioandroid super soldiers, and even magitech is fully within your grasp to emulate, as an example I keep seeing, you could absolutely make a unflinchingly loyal bioandroid like android 21 who eats magic and absorbs abilities to grow permanently in power or some shit to fight your battles for you. Other echoes like feather, shroud, horn, ash and stuff that grant magical abilities have a cap on what they can feasibly do and do not grant the same kind of utility or potential wide range of abilities. This makes hyper-specific abilities like heart and scale completely worthless, since they don't even have the magic part and only affect you physically in a cyoa where physical traits and even the magical abilities are only slightly above average at best. and far below at worst.
>>94128799>anon begins to realize why technology is actually busted as fucktechchads, another has seen the light
