>>98247491Updating the build. Call it "Mind Puppeteer".About my hypothetical multiplayer build, I came up with a way better one, so I'd say I want my previous one to be replaced by it, but posting it would open the nasty can of worms that is optimal Non-Loopers in multiplayer. Should I post it? There's no going back if I do.>Time Loop:Original Looper>Modifiers:The First Ikosian Emperor>Origin:Age: Adult (19)Boons: Noble, Criminal, Priest (Ikosian Church), Famous, Wealthy, Mansion, List>Magnitude:5>Skills:Connected>Magical Perks:Bakora Gates, Mana Frame>Magical Abilities:Divination 3, Mind Magic 3In every loop, secretly gather mind slaves to serve as spell platforms and knowledge dispensers and snowball into controlling stronger and stronger mages.

Shame.Bad = no portrait.Give your build a portrait!For extra soul, give it a youtube link as theme!
>>98248201>For extra soul, give it a youtube link as theme!only redditalics and his ilk do that though
>>98247491Dragon loli here. Updated my build. Axed crystalized for powerhouse and got some important spells to my repertoire.>Accidental looper (27 years later) +67I don't quite like skipping some years of the loop but i was greedy and wanted the mana frame>AU?If it comes up it might be fun but i don't know enough to mess with it.>Multiplayer?I am up for it i guess.>Child +4 boonsWanted to be the little girl>Mage fashionFaintly glowing tattoo markings and yellow eyes i think would be cool>Noble>Wealthy>MansionThese three are the easy life package. I can simply relax and focus my time on learning. Very nice.>LibraryAnd this will make getting the foot on the door of magic trivial. I should get a solid well rounded foundation from this.>Magnitude 35(45) -5Once again i am greedy and i went all in on mana capacity. I am going to assume that any subtlety has gone out the window.>Fitness -2Surprisingly fit little girl>Combatant -4If push comes to shove knowing right of the window how to fight is gonna be very handy. I predict that i might ruffle some feathers.>Stable -2It's a loop to begin with that might strain my mind to begin with but a solid mind is pretty important nontheless. Specially in life or death situations.>Dexterity -2Faster casting is good. Also pairs well with Fitness.>Passion -5If i am going to dive deep into magic it is better that i actually enjoy doing so. And well be motivated in general.>Dragon shifter -7It increases my magnitude further and allows me to access dragon magic... Whatever that looks like. Ah, i also get to turn into a dragon if push comes to shove. Very very handy. Shame about the mental changes but hopefully i can try to keep it together and not be an absolute bastard? At least all this ego makes me more mentally stable than normal... On the sense of getting my mind disrupted that is. 1/2
>>98248302>Immortal -7Technically achiveable but why wait? Besides no point in becoming the little girl if you turn into a hag later.>Mana frame -12Magnitude 90 of starting mana capacity sounds nuts. Running out should barely be a problem.>Powerhouse -10With the mana i have this can simply make me freakishly strong not only that it seems trivial to convert mana to lifeforce. Also i can use it while transformed into a dragon for total overkill.>Soul shield -1It's pretty simple and i would like to keep my soul nice and safe>Farstep -1The humble blink. Perfect for moving in ways that normally wouldn't be possible.>Magic weapon -2Because i am a powerhouse and i can blink i can easily get close to my targets and wreck them. This also technically allows me to make and use larger weapons that might be more effective on draining mana and as such be used to attack spells directly. Maybe. Or maybe i don't even need to make them large as it costs me mana to lift... Or maybe i can make the largest magical weapon that i can use while shifted as a dragon. Might be beyond me even with this capacity though it is an expensive spell.>Tremorsense -2Knowing where things are is very handy in combat and technically can serve to get around illusions and the like.>Barkskin -2I am going close and personal so this is important. Wonder if when i am transformed into a dragon it can stack with its natural Magic/physical resistance. Probably not unless i research my dragon form.>Mind blank -3Probably the one and only mind spell i will bother to learn. Get out of my mind.
>>98248302>>98248308Do you have any image in mind?I think your build is cool but have no idea what it would look like
>>98248346Haven't thought much about it maybe i should
>>98247491>Non-Looper +100 / Timeless AUOrigin: Teen (12) +3 BoonsBoons: Wealthy / Library / ListMagnitude: 18The loop is useful no doubt, but 100 points in this CYOA seriously makes up for it. I kinda hate picking Timeless because it erases the MCs, but it removes a very dangerous situation that kills a bunch of people and *also* makes it much, much safer for me to be in Cyoria (meaning I can freely focus points on future growth instead of immediate survival), so it really seems like a no-brainer.And I do want to be in Cyoria. If I need to learn magic, why not just be in magic school? The boons are obvious except for list, which we'll come to. >Skills: PassionMemoryStableCombatantParanoiaFitnessShould be obvious that I'm picking options that either support my learning, or make me good in a fight. Would have loved charm or intuition, but wasn't in the budget. >Perks:Stabilization FrameImmortalSoul SightWould have loved the Bakora gates option: travelling this world in style and convenience. But wasn't in the budget. And I guess I can get it from the spiders.>Magical Disciplines:None! I will be learning from scratch. >Bloodlines:MathemagicSilent CastingElementalist (Air)PowerhouseThe common element combining these is speed if you're wondering.Silent Casting is perma buffs on cast speed, plus a ton of other benefits. Mathemagic would help master space magic and make you a ward or formula prodigy overnight. Combined you could use wards or space magic mid-combat and fight like no one else in the setting. Powerhouse buffs you in all ways and is a great panic option. Jump sprint away at 80mph if you're threatened. Air magic I chose more out of sentimentality, there are better options (force is probably the better element really, and you could still fly like Iron Man). But I've always loved the idea of air magic. With Air you could fly, or sense all movement around you using the wind. Combine with Powerhouse to run like the wind.
>>98248361>Spells: So many spells in this list are great, ranging from flat upgrades to existing spells (simulacrum), to spells that trivialize aspects of their discipline (Ransack), to spells that just don't exist or would have huge effects on the setting (Clone). It's tempting to pick even more.Goodberry - Rounded out points, but turns mages into food producers which could do fucky things to the setting. Useful for both when I go travelling... and torturing people for learning blood magic.Barkskin - Magic resistance plus toughness is great. Combo with Powerhouse for max fun!Ransack - I got the list boon for this. Mind Magic can *technically* do this, but that took years of work for Zorian. This apparently makes it simple and easy.Shapechange - Entirely self-indulgence. I will release this into the world and turn people into furries for fun and profit.Simulacrum - Flatly the best spell in the setting, but improved. You are the only person you can trust, so make a copy. Clone - Immortality as somethign to work towards.Cyoria is a relatively safe place to learn when it's not being buttfucked by every big bad in a million mile radius. So I will stay here as long as possible getting good. Once I graduate and I've learnt enough to be confident I plan to travel the world! I will first need to be a decent Mind Mage, because I am travelling to visit all the people on my boon list under the Soul & Blood magic disciplines and Ransack their brains for knowledge.
>>98248361The hatching on the branches at the top is god tier, I wonder why that style isn't done more often. It doesn't look difficult or time consuming either, esp compared to cross-hatching.
>>98248367My combat style will probably be pretty hit & run, since i'll have the physical and mental speed and reflexes to run in, cast a bunch of spells and then be over the horizon before people can say what the fuck. Powerhouse is a neat bit of 'no, people in this setting don't fight like this what the fuck' too, so depending on how things go I may be the only mage in the setting to use a fucking baseball bat in combat. At some point no doubt I'll go a little crazy, start kidnapping people and torturing them for soul and blood magic testing , in the hopes of perfecting Clone. and achieving truer immortality. I will do this in foreign poor people countries no one else cares about however, like a sane person, and commute back to civilization using space and air magic when I need a break. I'm looking forward to using Mathemagic and Alteration magic to become some sort of perfect architect when I create my Blood Ziggurat. I will also probably also get a ritual together to gain the Empath ability at some point too, just as it seems relatively attainable. Oh and I'm using Shapechange to give myself bunny ears, then I'm going to create a pocket dimension in a tophat I wear. For the visual gag. I think I will call this:>'My Overpowered Life In Another World Is Surprisingly Aimless Except For All The Ritual Murder And Brain Raping'.
>>98247491I don't care for this CYOA, but at least it's not chinese slop like that tankista one.
>>98248414
>>98248418
>>98247491If I put a geas on myself using soul & mind magic, would simulacra of me still be compelled to follow it, or does that only apply for certain special kinds of geas like the death pact or Panaxeth's Deal?
>>98248508
>>98248201dumb
>>98248460What the heck are you trying to do to yourself? A geas is soul magic, and simulacrums share yours so I'd say it'd probably stick. Simulacrums have their own minds and intelligences separate though for mind magic compulsions, and they spawn in 'fresh' so you might need to re-cast it depend on how the compulsion works.Yknow if it's something sustained that could be ended or dispelled then it probably needs recasting like any spell. If it's permanently a part of your brain it'd be copied (you probably should not make permanent alterations to your brain incidentally). Remember your simulacrums are just as you as you are, so you probably shouldn't ask them to do things you yourself wouldn't do. Especially if you grant them access to Mind Magic, because they have all your skills, know your defences and know your plans about them. Some mages flatly cannot use them because they don't have personalities capable of handling being a temporary clone. Thats why the simulacrum spell for purchase is so good, but even then I'd not want to risk it by purposefully fucking over my simulacrum. Also remember geas and compulsions are relatively rare in the modern day because, shockingly, you can just go to the mage's guild and pay to have them removed.
>>98248524Better DUMB than UGLY.
>>98248201>Bad = no portrait.Yes>Give your build a portrait!Why stop there? You should make an image build for maximum soul!>For extra soul, give it a youtube link as theme!Great idea!
>>98247491Apparently there's a range limit on how far you can travel in the loop? How big is it?
>>98248612Um, Sort of? The time loop covers the solar system, your actual range limit is more just 'how far could you reasonably travel in a only a month?'Trains are the hot new thing in this time period and boats or the very rare airship risk being attacked by various flavours of magical monster bullshit so long distance travel is a bit iffy.
>>98248529Thanks for the answer!>What the heck are you trying to do to yourself?Create a geas against heinous acts (like torture, mental domination, or murder) that also mandates that I continuously improve it, so even after several decades of isolation my simulacra and I can't betray my principles.
>>98248625It says in the wiki:>Time loopers additionally are restricted to what's gathered to be the surrounding regions, and cities beyond the distance of Korsa are estimated as the limit where they'll start to lose connection. Is this just bullshit? There's no source either
Can you guys just fuck off to mcyoag?
>>98248625The angels put the entire solar system into a time loop just so one guy can try to stop a cult from freeing an eldritch deity they could instantly nuke anyway?

>>98248629Yeah I have no idea what the fuck that's about. That's absolutely nonsense. The MCs go to different continents at multiple points using teleportaton and stolen airships. Korsa is just a short train ride away from where a lot of the plot happens. The MC passes through it a few times to sell shit, but it's not that important. Because of the mechanics of how the time loop work it doesn't even make sense for like two different reasons. The *only* sign that the time loop exists is that people inside it suddenly cannot summon angels or demons, because the time loop is a separate pocket dimension cut off from the material plane.Here's the map. They start in the top continent Altazia and visit the Jungles of Koth at the bottom a few times.>>98248627Anon, just take Stable. It's two points and won't involve completely fucking yourself over. There's no geas you can put on yourself that you yourself can't work around or undo.

>>98247491Would going Accidental Looper with maxed settings set to right after Zorian escapes the loop and taking Panaxeth's Deal to escape yourself, and then proceeding to do nothing count as freeing him since he lives on inside the Grey Hunter in the end of the canon?

This time I decided to ditch Alchemy since it's too time intensive to fit into my schedule and still be worth it; to have to go out, get the resources, then go all the way to an alchemy lab and actually do the alchemy for however long it takes, all for a potion that'll get reset when time loops, just isn't worth 19 points. I'll definitely try to pick it up once the loop is over however. Now I have a bunch of skills to help me with actually finding valuable magical creatures/divine artefacts, and immortality secured for when the loop ends. also have an image and a theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFcxnQ0nsts
>>98248798Thanks for reminding me Zorian was dragged into the loop because this dumbass chose to brag to a Lich about being in a time loop, while under a soul contract thet would kill him if he let anyone know there was a time loop
I hope gil is happy with rin tosaka wherever he is
>>98248842That only applies at the end of the loop and Zack at that point was already mindfucked by Redrobe.
>>98248826Did any of the builds picked it?
>>98248848forgot your pic, chief
eh? wtf?
>>98248871Reduce the ass size.
>>98248871Compress her into a doll
>>98248874How dare you, my wife Ranni is completely flat as it should be
>>98248883Might as well have sex with a cardboard.
>>98248828Kind of an odd build? You've only got five years in the loop and you lack any dimension abilities to escape it. You'll spend a lot of those years working on a plan to leave (or die) and at that point why not just be free of the loop altogether and use the other five points on something else?A huge benefit of the loop is that you can freely research and practice magic like Mind, Soul or Blood magic which normally involves a lot of body counts and attention. But you already have two of three maxed, what are you actually using it for you can't get outside it?I'd call it a pretty sweet build otherwise: I considered being old myself for instant clone and just using the transform spell to youth myself. Instant rank 3 in blood/soul for clone is pretty tempting. Once you have secured immortality you can really live your life pretty carefree.Other than the loop I'd point to two potential issues. First you need a secure place to actually put your extremely attention grabbing highly illegal clone coffin, with top level wards against spying and intruders and shit. I myself probably would have dropped the Criminal boon and taken the mansion boon instead since it comes with all that. And the main benefit of the criminal boon is getting secret text books into things you're already a master of. Second you're not actually ageless. You need to die every so often to reset your age from your clone. Either you're doing that regularly and often missing weeks of your life, or you're not and if some random adventurers happens to locate it and destroy it you've lost years of your life. Oh, and Ghost Eyes includes Soul Eyes free, just in case you counted that point.
>>98248883rotten moldy ropeussy.....
>>98248901> leave (or die) That's a thing?
>>98248912Iirc the loop works in that it creates an alternate dimension, the entire loops happen in a fraction of a second of the original world. It basically scans the original world at that point in time, then makes a perfect copy that runs for 1 month. The you inside the loop is a replica that is different from the you in the original world, so if you(the replica) don't leave the loop you will essentially die once the loop ends. Your original self theoretically will still be alive in the original world(unless the accident loop here just inserts you without an equivalent), but it wouldn't be the "same" person as the one in the replica. The implication of this is that everyone in the loop essentially gets created and destroyed over and over again except for the loopers, knowledge of which could cause non-loopers existential dread iirc.
>>98248817>>98248848>Rapeman, Voidsoul, Disintrested Cultist, Evan & Eva Williams, Chill Dragon, Silent Menace, Potential Man, Falkrinean Alchemist>Sex predators and NEETsnone of these fuckers qualify
>>98248912....Oh dear.Without wishing to spoil too much yeah. The loop is a pocket dimension made to train up one person (the original looper). It's the hyperbolic time chamber from DBZ for one. Multiple people are not meant to be inside, that's essentially an in-universe glitch. Once the program ends anyone who isn't the original looper gets deleted unless they can figure out a way to leave.In story that broadly involved being very, very, very good at dimension magic - the hardest magic - and an odd subset of soul magic and sacrificing a priceless lost ancient divine treasure pocket dimension. It also involves pissing off Panaxeth who will likely try to force you to make a deal with him, or attempt to fuck over your escape attempt if you refuse him. Oh and also the admin of the loop will try to murder you. Have fun with him.With five years if you were dedicated and knew the plot then *maybe* you could manage, but I wouldn't try.Incidentally this shit is free: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/21220/mother-of-learning
>>98248928>>98248937godammit, well I'll have to wait till next thread to fix this. I'll probably just retake Alchemy and spend the last 5 points on clone.
>>98248941Fair.It's kind of important information to have the CYOA probably should have included. But at the same time it's a pretty fucking massive spoiler for MoL's plot as 'how the fuck does the loop even work?' is understandably a major part of the whole story.
>>98247899Can you get agelessness without selling your soul ? The best I can think of is getting the saplings of the two trees and drinking from the well of light.Someone who know the lore got a better idea ?
>>98248937>I have a starting magnitude of 35I am gonna have to somehow rip a massive hole into the loop world don't i?
>>98248928>>98248937Nta, I should probably remake my build as a non-looper, 5.5 years of loop is nice but I can get most if not everything I want by just taking thing slow outside the loop.
>>98249044In retrospect it would have been good if anons were asked to say if they've read MoL or not as part of their build. The differences would be entertaining.
>>98247491I wish there were more points or that the bloodlines were cut in price.
>>98249139Dragon loli here. I didn't but that feels obvious as hell.
>>98249139I have read some a while ago, stop shortly after the mc start traveling instead of going to school if I remember.I could have guess that the loop is inside a pocket dimension but that doesn't help much when powerful entities (the angels and Panaxeth) will apparently get in your way if you're trying to leave.
>>98249200>will apparently get in your way if you're trying to leave>the angels They aren't even in the loop. They will be fine with you as long as Panaxeth isn't free.
>>98249200Panaxeth can't do *much* relative to his real power (he's basically a god but he is imprisoned), but he can stick his oar in while you're trying to escape and complicate things because he's between the pocket dimension and actual reality. It's something you'd want teams of battlemages to fend off while you work.The admin (Guardian of the Threshold) similarly is 'solo dozens of battlemages' levels of power rather than 'walking god'. Both of them will show up at the same time.Angels are strictly an outside the loop thing and whether or not they hunt you down and smite you depends on if Panaxeth is freed for real. Theyre surprisingly reasonable: as long as Panaxeth fails they're happy and will probably even offer you support. However if Panaxeth is unleashed all the restrictions and laws they have are put on hold so they can descend to earth in full burning glory and put down Panaxeth with their full power (and even *they* really don't want that) and in that situation they will also hunt down any anomalies. Like people who showed up in their special training chamber, or people who helped Panaxeth escape. Given angels have Divine Magic - which is explicitly so far beyond normal magic it's not even funny - anyone who takes Panaxeth's deal is a sucker.
>>98249278>Given angels have Divine Magic - which is explicitly so far beyond normal magic it's not even funny I knew ghost eyes was the way to go
>>98248844Gil would rape Rin. Turn her into his guro churro.
>>98248534I have a hairless cat. He is very dumb but very cute. He thinks he’s a big tough man. He is not. He runs away when he feels a gust of wind tickle his balls. He growls when he sees brown people (he might be racist). He hates babies too since I think he thinks they are trying to replace him. He especially hates brown babies. I will post a picture of him if you want.

I like WodanHe makes you all squirm like funny little worms “Noooo stahhhhp”
>>98249357>Non-Looper>not Timeless>I don't feel like trying to escape the pocket dimension.
>>98249278>>98249341Angels technically can't really use it, but they have artifacts. And because even Abyss of Time Zorian can't really use it after all the centuries, this research direction is a dead end. Maybe ever, but for duration of the loop for sure.
Does anyone else think that simulacrum is basically useless if you have mirror image so long as you dont need them to have magic access
>>98249360>I like WodanWell why don't you marry him then?
>>98249385Simulacrum are actual people
>>98249387Because I am loyal to Gil.
>>98249385Are you fucking serious? Magic access is the whole point.
>>98249383I'm not sure about angels, i assumed they could use it but don't because they normally don't do anything because of their various restrictions. They give Zach the mana frame blessing with (I assume) divine soul magic for example so they clearly can do shit.Canonically Quatach Ichl studied the blessing he himself had received from the gods and used it's knowledge to make his gate artifacts. So it definitely *is* possible to get something out of studying divine shit.I'd say it's very unlikely you'll get anywhere far with it for decades or hundreds of years of course.
Oh god no it's happening again??? We have a new general for this exact thing, pease don't ruin my cyoag again
>>98249400>Oh god no it's happening again???cyoa discussion?
>>98249400I've never said shit about any of the CYOA that got popular that I hated. Outer Reincarnation and that tok dragon shit and everything Italics has ever made. Even if I didnt like it, it was discussion and this thread is where that belongs. I'm allowed to sperg when by chance a CYOA I like comes along.
>>98249403>>98249411You literally have a dedicated general for this, you niggers are utterly uncivilized, always want to force yourself on others never willing to take accountability and do the right thing by fucking off
>>98249375Fuck, I didn't read the Non-Looper option or AU options, I had assumed you start outside the loop.
>>98249439And you have a perfectly fine discord to masturbate washed up authors in yet the thread is littered with it.
>>98249443Me the discorder? You're retarded if I didn't give a shit about cyoag I wouldn't want you back to your containment thread where the rest of your actual discord friends should be
You all smell bad
I am Korean I don’t have any body odor.
I am white my armpits smell like literal acid after just one hour in the sun.
>>98249441You'd be both. The loop is just a one month snapshot of the whole planet. You'd be outside the loop, while a version of you was present inside it as well like everyone else on the planet....Which actually would fucking suck for that version if they know enough about MoL to recognize and test the loop, because they'd know they only have a month to live.Timeless is probably a good idea anyway though. The only benefit to keeping the loop if you didn't use it is if you want the main characters to have benefitted from it. Otherwise Timeless removes a lot of death and destruction.>>98249439I assume you're talking about the multiplayer general? I didn't make a multiplayer build. I'm fine here.
Maybe I should scrap the remake, why even make non-looper an option, so you can make yourself an Accidental Looper with Soul 3 in the very first loop while getting 100 points ?
>>98249457Do asians really think shit like this?
>>98249472It’s scientifically proven anon. — Nearly 95% of Koreans lack the functional ABCC11 gene, which is responsible for producing underarm odor. Instead of the pungent-causing wet sweat, this genetic variant produces a "dry" sweat that lacks the compounds skin bacteria need to create a noticeable smell. Because of this genetic mutation, underarm body odor and the subsequent need for deodorant are incredibly rare in Korea.
>>98249469>you can make yourself an Accidental Looper with Soul 3 in the very first loop>yourselfThat's where you are wrong, buddy.
>>98249395Make mirror images and have them inscribe spell formulae for you or read at the library for you or brew potions for you or just do whatever that feasibly you dont need mana for right that secondIf simulacrums had their own mana pool id understand but they dont so the only time youd need them is to use magic in more than one place or to have them cast long spells for you while you hold off enemies or viceverse and even then youll be going through mana stupid quick
>>98249472Japanese people pinch their noses when white people walk by.
I guess its true, If you're not making a multiplayer cyoa you're not making a successful cyoa
>>98249465>You'd be both.Right, the "you are not part of te loop, you will exist within the loop" confused me for a moment, so my assumption that you are the one that exist outside is correct.Now I'm wondering if the "inserted memories" of the one in the loop are the memories of the character or a copy of (You).
>>98249495Ultimate God was successful enough without multiplayer.
>>98249486Okay just checked again and they dont have a physical form which is dumb but eh, still, easy fix, golems commanded by the mirror image among other ideas
>>98249499It's success was entirely on the back that it was a remake
>>98249497>Now I'm wondering if the "inserted memories" of the one in the loop are the memories of the character or a copy of (You).That's... a very good question. Normally I'd say it's you instead of the person you bodyjacked, but how we're even getting into this reality or what our backstory is doesn't make a lot of sense for MoL and the CYOA completely passes it over. It'd be fucking weird if there's a difference from the perspective of the loopers. I wish the CYOA gave more options for your background and start to begin with honestly. Give me the classic 'reincarnated from birth and be a super intelligent baby' option already!
>>98249497>>98249518>>98249465>"you are not part of the loop. You will exist with all of your inserted memories within the loop but will not retain your memories from month to month.">"depending on your actions during the events of the time loop, the end results may be drastically different that they are in canon"the way I understand the text, this means that (YOU) start inside the loop and not outside of it.There might be a (you) outside the loop but it wouldn't be (YOU) and I doubt they actually exist.
>>98249558Well fuck me, glad I picked Timeless!!I read it as these two parts are in opposition, not together:>you are not part of the loop.I.e. the loop is it's own pocket dimension which is constantly being reset, not an actual time travel incident, and you are not there. >You will exist with all of your inserted memories within the loop but will not retain your memories from month to month."But a version of you will be, which makes sense because it's meant to be a perfect copy of the world.But on re-reading it... yeah, I think you might be right? If so that's honestly something i'd want to check with the author or outright Sartre out because it means the only options for 100 pointers are either to take Panaxeth's deal (and die) or choose Timeless, which is a magical fix everything button super easy mode. And it doesn't make any sense that your options are 'take a pact with the literal devil for your immortal soul and almost certainly be burned by angels, or don't do that, and turn off all the threats, and skip happily into the sunset at no cost'.
>>98249518>>98249558>>98249614Non-loopers are inserted into the world a split second before the loop takes it's snapshot. That means that the *real* you is outside of the loop, and a copy of you with your inserted memories is created and destroyed in every loop.
>>98248901Warrior King. All men want to be like him.
>>98249634Author-kun? Is that you? I guess it does say you are aware of the loop before it started and so you don't get mess with the divine contract, so you must have been in reality before the loop started.
>>98249655Warrior King is following in his footsteps.Childhood Friend is being your own warrior king.
>>98249680Nothing prevents you from doing both.
>>98249688That's not how you play the game.

>>98249804Thinking about making a build, I rather not have either touch my soul so no ageless races or strong Song. Could get a maiar custom companion if I take 10 points worth of races but that's a lot of points I could take a Tier 3 enhancements or a divine item with.Also I have no idea what drinking the well do, but it's probably good for the drinker and the only idea I have for life extension that isn't getting a valar to help you.
d-deh… d-danmachee…
>>98249634My non-looper build was really rushed, should redo it but weak enough that the copy got no chance of making themself an accidental looper and leave the simulation.
>>98250157What's so bad about you leaving?
RATS ARE NOT WELCOME IN PARADISE
>>98250157you do know the easiest option for yourself not to leave the loop is just... decide not to do it yourself. The copy is literally you so if you don't chase to get out of the loop nor will your clone and unless you have a way to detect if the spirit world is connected or disconnected you can't even know if your in a loop or not.
>>98250167If your loop-clone can't leave in his own body, he still may leave spiritually. And (You)r body is the best to occupy.

But I am loyal to my Wife and always deal honestly, so I give up nothing.Green: Self-Reliance.Enemy: PollutersI already like hunting and cooking my own food in real life, and with the miracle, I can spread the bounty of the land with my people.

I shall not pursue the bloody victory, as true victory comes when your victory is inevitable, not when you force yourself into a compromised position. At a small scale, outsiders may only stay if they put down roots and become part of the people through marriage and children. Otherwise, leave or be liquidated.Blue: Contract and ImpartialityEnemies: Monopolists and FraudstersGood economics come from an impartial state that enforces contracts. The people's own enterprise will create prosperity from there. I would pursue these foes even without encouragement.Grey: Final Peace, JudgementEnemies: Witches and UndeadThose who deal with Satan must be punished, and the undead given their proper rest. Law that is firmly delivered and swiftly coming deters further crime.To my people, I shall be a kind knight, striving for peace in all things, but readied for war. The villains of my land will know me as a scourge, with public executions on display whenever a ne'er-do-well reveals themselves.Very cool CYOA. Thank you.

>>98250455You do yourself the honor, with such well selected images and interesting world you've built.
>>98250319the copy is going to have a lifespan of one month, unless some looper gives it a temporary marker then 6 months. Because there is no way they are becoming a full on looper statistically speaking they are more likely to just perma kill themselves if they try.They are not gonna escape alone in a months time, but if they have help from other people well then its going to be a problem no matter what.I am not really sure why you would be so obsessed with getting out of the timeloop anyways. How much can you diverge in the span of one month? Personally I don't mind while at least one copy of me exists out there its going to be fine, might as well enjoy the one month to the fullest, not worth stressing about something you can't change.

>>98250511Ser Soulas' Knightly review:The Knight of Fair Dealings does his land well for the public service front, though I dost fear that he has little in ways of protection for his lands. An economic victory is little victory at all if a red eyed knight sets it all ablaze.8/10 Chivalry Points.
Ser Soulas' Knightly review:>>98250516The Knight of Dark Judgement is well and true for fighting the good fight against the lord of our enemies - Satan. He also ensures his lands are free of the taint of evil, though I fear his totalized focus will leave his lands less productive than they could be.7/10 Retributions>>98250542Now this knight is truly an example to be looked upon!

>>98250511>>98250516Well met, sirs. We may rest easy knowing the weak are looked after and a vigilant watch is kept.>>98250542Sir Hippocrates the gentle is astute in his assessment. The cyoa was inspired by the design challenge of making a vow feel less like a drawback taken in exchange for power, and more like a power in it's own right. A direct response to discourse on radient.
>>98250556A fair review. I would not be particularly suited as a borderlord, although I do intend for the soldiers I have to be vigilant and well trained
>>98250568Thank you for your kind review Ser Soulas, peace and just be upon thee.>>98250596I liked it, it's short but direct in its intention.
>>98250596>The cyoa was inspired by the design challenge of making a vow feel less like a drawback taken in exchange for power, and more like a power in it's own right. Sadly there are those that see any limit to their will as an intolerable imposition. Not all realize that proper action is a reward in its own right, and it is only by example that any can discover this beautiful truth. Fortunately we have a Perfect example in the form of Christ Jesus, our Lord. (Or whatever expy we have in this world.)>>98250601True, a well trained and well armed force can stand true for some time against the foes we shall undoubtably face. I must wonder, with how few direct combat powers there are, is the death rate for our kind mostly due to the Monsters we must vanquish?
I love Gil so much
>>98250596>less like a drawback taken in exchange for power, and more like a power in it's own rightYeah drawbacks that are trade-offs rather than just flaws generally make them more interesting IMO.
>>98250629maybe don't make it an imposition on will and make it feel like a reward instead, in the sense of doing evil feels disgusting and doing good feels amazing, you aren't forced into anything but it still works
>>98250596I would say the issue with radiant was more in how the deal was presented, but in this cyoa the deal is as it should be: Vows are taken willingly and intentionally by those who believe in their principles
>>98250734>Pavlovian conditioning for goodness

An alien worm drills into your belly button and up your spine and into your brain and then has you hallucinate a false reality where you actually have a hot and loving anime themed girlfriend - but it’s actually the seductive worm - which in reality is controlling your bloated rotting (your hallucinations progress 1/100th as slow as real life don’t worry) body and making it do awful things like feral zombie murder and vomiting up more worms to infect people withWould you accept the worm?
>>98250821No?What?
>>98250831I guess you never wanted a loving anime themed girlfriend then
>>98250814interesting, very dnd-coded.>>98250746Powerlevel is a lot lower though. Not much opportunity for power-scaling who-beats-who scenarios with Entropist and the like.

>>98250847Depend if you have Soul Sight or Ghost Eyes, and how common soul ward are at that level even if the Master speciality isn't Warding or Soul, you probably want a rank or two of Negation anyway.
>>98248751We will post Outer Reincarnation every thread until you like it.
Is there any CYOA that comes to mind when you hear "sucks as a CYOA and ought to just be made into a short novella with how well written the lore and "plot" is"?
>>98247491Can you insert the Silent Casting mental language into others' minds to make them silent cast?
>>98250847Effectively impossible, most mages at that level would kill themselves before you could finish the spell, if they couldn't counterspell it
>>98250905not the author, but from the description bloodlines are more soulstuff than pure knowledge, so rather than inserting the information into others you would have to mess with their soul to maybe mimic it
>>98250917Even with the 'no incantations or gestures' boost?
>>98250904Magi Case?
>>98250922Hmm, that would be too slow to seize the initiative. I guess back to having slaves transform into something akin to picrel for casting speed.
>>98250936isn't that one wip?
>>98250928I don't know if there's any way to stealthily place binds on a persons soul, and given that everyone with any level of skill has several wards on themselves at all times you would have to noticably dispell them
>>98250961Yes, it was never finished. But at least we got the alpha version.
I like this one
>>98250936I just downloaded it so I could post it but its fucking 30 pages and 90% isnt even choices. Yeah I aint gonna post it afterall, have some hati instead

>>98250048I'll be done with mine tomorrowWhen's the deadline again?
>>98250904I see a CYOA as something that helps me make interesting choices to tell a story.So with that in mind. Perpetuance Pod Protocol. Completely awful as a CYOA. Ultimately almost every build was damn near the same. Everyone picked the scenario where you get to be a god, because obviously, and there were so few points and the cost of actual godly powers that you would have to be a jellybrain to pass up meant no one had any points for anything else. The most common thing people chose was Godly Psychic power and to be a posthuman nanoswarm. That was 90% of builds. But despite being a terrible CYOA in that it didn't really have interesting choices as much as *obvious* choices, it was still fucking awesome and everyone fucking loved it. I used to spend a lot of time thinking about that CYOA and how I'd handle my godly duties.
>>98247491Silent Casting giving a third way to fullfil the components of structured magic is nice, but what is stopping anyone from invoking the spell elements for a structured spell in their head in the first place?

>>98251126>Perpetuance Pod Protocol. Completely awful as a CYOA. Ultimately almost every build was damn near the same. Everyone picked the scenario where you get to be a god, because obviously, and there were so few points and the cost of actual godly powers that you would have to be a jellybrain to pass up meant no one had any points for anything else. >The most common thing people chose was Godly Psychic power and to be a posthuman nanoswarm. That was 90% of builds.Sounds like everyone was boring. Why even bother to make a build then?
>>98251148Wodan is Tok's split personality, that's why Wodan hates Tok, he's tired of being kept away in a mind prison for all his life. It's also why Wodan is so immature, he never had the chance to interact with people as his own person.
>>98251126I still like the space scenario more
>>98251122Forgot to post the theme song for my buildhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCXm517py1s
>>98251126Same. There's a magic to it that most mechanically superior cyoas lack.

>>98251128That magic just doesn't work like that in setting. You *can* actually perform what's called unstructured magic, where you push the mana around with will alone, and *technically* any spell can be cast with unstructured magic and doing so makes for a more flexible spell. But realistically that is so difficult it could make learning a single spell take decades, so unstructured magic is usually performed as a training exercise to get good enough at shaping mana that you can use structured magic. Structured magic uses gestures and language to help create a spell boundary they have memorized, which is like a shape for the mana to be in to perform the spell made out of pre-made magic elements like Arcane Lego or programming. As you practice a spell more and more, you get better at instinctively performing it to the point where less and less effort is needed. But you will always need at least a *gesture* to perform a structured spell. In-universe mages that have abilities that let them perform unstructured magic in a useful mana have big advantages over people who use spells. The elemental bloodline for example would be this, you'd be basically be a firebender who doesn't even need to move, while other mages would be shooting fire using chanting/gestures. Empathy is another, it lets you easily do Mind Magic without needing discrete spells.
>>98251208You're one too so stop kidding yourself. Power, waifus, immortality, pleasure and looking superior is all you want.

>>98250366 The tyrant in ragsYellow:Mercy, PurityThievesPurificationGreen:Wandering, Self-ReliancePoachers, PollutersLight thread, Green thumbOrange:Bravery, Domination, Readiness Rivals, OutsidersRelentlessness, ControlPurple:PovertyFraudstersGold NoseThe ever expanding horde. Mercy and Bravery are an extremely powerful combo if Bravery forces me to act means that victory is a possibility which triggers Mercy and enemies are quick to surrender because their victory is not guaranteed. If bravery doesn’t trigger might as well flee as there will be no victory.Then to actually win the battles mass peasant levies will be used, combined with control and relentless these are pretty much infinite morale soldiers which will fight to the death without losing combat effectiveness. To support these armies logistically self-reliance, gold nose and green thumb will be used for supplies and purification to prevent it from spoiling. Light thread and wandering will be used to easily transport the massive army over vast distances. Essentially its just gathering a large enough horde to trigger mercy minimizing casualties and then absorbing the losing side to into the horde to continue the conquest, snowballing in power as long as the offensive is carefully maneuvered. Purity and Readiness pretty much prevent assassination so the only way to be beaten is to face a far superior coalition, but such a thing can be detected in advance by the power of gold nose, as any war effort of that size would have a significant flow of value through human institutions. Its essentially a forest blitzkrieg into the enemies weak spot taking control of the enemies peasantry trough domination and control and then using them as a meat to prop up mercy win con.
>>98251173I'd say only if you're getting 20-30 years to practice, minimum, and have actually read the fucking story.If you've not read MoL and want all the time in the world to practice magic, just take the 6 point option for the Black Room. It turns a day into a month of training. 12 days = a year of training. Way better and no downsides.Except remember to pack food and water, or maybe just learn the goodberry spell. You can't open it early and apparently in-universe a logistics fuckup meant one of the black rooms had a supply problem and all the top mages they had working in them fucking starved to death. Given they're usually used for absolute top secret high-level government supersoldier programs and those mages would have been the top people in their field, i assume it was pretty embarrassing for someone.
>>98251205Your gonna have to wait a long time for that to happen.>>98248511>Didnt take the "Time to ponder"-"Dowing Kingdom" Combination Terrible build, will get killed and raped by Bastif in seconds
>>98251263>Your gonna have to wait a long time for that to happen.So sometime tomorrow? gotcha
>>98251263
>>98251260I would personally assume the supply problem was: All of the food stored in the blackroom spoiled during the last activation and workers forgot that it had seen more time
>>98251260Can you use the Black Room more than one day a month?
>>98251281I assume it depends on the room and how it's designed, and you can certainly use more then one blackroom
>>98251281IIRC the protagonists did it for training arc.
>>98251280I think it was actually weavils getting into the food and no one checking it, just not 100% sure, but apparently all sorts of shit happens with them. One they opened and all the mages had just gone cabin fevery and murdered one another because it's packing as many people as possible into a small box for a month.>>98251281I totally didn't notice that that options specifies 'once a month', which isn't as ideal. That might be the trade off for not having to pile it with the usual amount of crystalized mana which isn't mentioned (they're usually expensive to run). An extra month a... month still isn't bad, it's double the practice, but not quite as good. You could maybe find other black rooms, but they're government projects and the mage government is actually pretty fucking scary, so do not recommend poking the hornets nest outside the loop.
>>98247491Do we need Duo Loop to have more than one Original Looper per multiplayer?
>>98251462No, But you do if you want zach to remain in multiplayer
>>98251281The black room can be used once a loop to stretch a day into a month.>>98251462No, you can have however many original looper players.
>>98251320If a loop end early you can reuse the blackroom, so it's at least an extra month every month, if you can kill the main looper asap after using the blackroom you can spam it.
>>982515235?
>>98251528What?Huh?Once the original looper dies the entire loop turns off and resetsAnd you can use as many blackrooms as you find, it's just a matter of pushing the machinery to it's limit
I'm so tired of MP discussion
>>98251528ughh... not really worth it you will be burning trough the available loops, it doesn't matter how long a loop is, it will still cost the same amount as the reset is the thing that consumes the energy/
>>98251540When A loop end early not THE loop.
>>98251585Your grammar is quite poor and I have no idea what you meanThere is no temporal benefit to killing the loop controller before the end of the loop. It gets you less time
>>98251226>Structured magic uses gestures and language to help create a spell boundary they have memorizedAnd what is stopping anyone from having the help be happening in their head, beyond the labor of assotiating a new trigger for each spell boundary ?If I had to guess it's because it's not pratical to learn without knowning some mind magic first.
>>98251594>There is no temporal benefit to killing the loop controller before the end of the loop. It gets you less timeI did not knew that until >>98251582.

This time I'm basically just going back to the build I made the very first time, focusing on Blood and Soul Magic to try to advance my skills as much as possible before the loop ends and I actually have to worry about consequences. Before that though I’m going to git gud at Dimensionalism so I can guarantee escape from the loop. Hopefully if Zorain managed to do it in 10 years starting from nearly nothing then I, with my vastly better starting point, should be able to pull it off with time to spare. Alternatively I can ask to hitch a ride when one of the other anons finds a way out.Also have a new image, name and song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQnAhjEShxw

I think browsing the Fire Emblem wiki's list of characters pages is the only way I'm capable of finding new names for CYOA companions anymore.
>>98252198For pseudo-European fantasy names, I warmly recommend browsing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Germanic_people_by_centuryeg:Category:Germanic_people_by_century▼Category:7th-century_Germanic_people▼Category:7th-century_Frankish_people▼Category:7th-century_Frankish_women▼Category:7th-century_Frankish_nuns▼Angadrisma
>>98252239These kind of lean a little bit too far into the medieval aesthetic. I'm aiming for "cool, unusual, but plausibly modern" names. Names where you'd go "huh, okay, interesting" if somebody today introduced themselves with them today, but which wouldn't seem TOO much out of place. Stuff like Klaus, Callum, Byron, maybe Roland at the far end.
