Hey friends! So we're going to be doing a quest thread. We're gonna start a little MYSTERIOUS while I construct some background things. And by mysterious I mean we're going to start with a character generation. The actual appearance of the character doesn't matter TOO MUCH to the plot (although characters might have different dialogue or reactions based on them. EG: Nobody's going to comment on your animal ears if you don't have any.)
For certain options, we're going to use the Emoji Reactions as we have here. For others, we'll use the #quest-suggestions channel to bark out recommendations for what our character does.
Finally, there's this channel, which'll be used for discussions and arguments, debates, and idea exchanges.
Oh and you're totally allowed to vote for multiple things whenever we use the emoji votes.(edited)
Pinned a message.

It would seem that there's something of a consensus on this one.
AsameNightbreak02-Dec-18 03:16 PM
haha
DerpyDoo02-Dec-18 03:16 PM
tfw i didnt realize gender even, thought it was just hairstyle but same applies
AsameNightbreak02-Dec-18 03:30 PM
haha
thats part of the newrem setting
"Gender" is stuff like
Tomboy
vs. Lady
vs. Lass
vs. Girl
they all describe things in slightly different ways
Warren02-Dec-18 05:11 PM
Also, the image may say that we're choosing a gender, but the filename says we're choosing hair.
Remi_Erin_Autor02-Dec-18 05:11 PM

Remi_Erin_Autor02-Dec-18 08:26 PM
Alright. Looks like Number 2 is pretty much picked.
DerpyDoo03-Dec-18 11:09 AM
The hair is purty
Warren04-Dec-18 10:25 AM
So right now, we have a confident, decisive character... who doesn't play social games despite not being shy and doesn't respond particularly well or poorly to the secual attraction of others, both of which may well come from the fact that they're kind of spacey.
I DIDN'T MAKE THIS! This clip is from AMV Hell 3: The Motion Picture. It was done by RollTheStampede of ShiningFingerStudios ^_^ I love it because it's the p...
Yeah. Yukari's a strong contender for worst character.
Remi_Erin_Autor04-Dec-18 10:32 AM
She's like Miss Worby.
Warren04-Dec-18 10:32 AM
Except without /qa/ making Worby insane and amazing.
Also, I'm a little miffed I can't find a standalone clip of the part where she's hunting eye bubbles in class.
Remi_Erin_Autor04-Dec-18 11:11 PM
Alright. So! #quest-suggestions is where you go if you want to suggest something for our hero, Liza, to do. You can also put emoji reactions on posts if you agree with them or disagree with them, etc. At the moment we're just on a train car alone with not a lot to do (RAILROADING).
As for if you have any questions or DISCUSSION, that should of course be done here. I'm separating these two out because I think some organization will help out a lot in the long run. Everything's starting really simple right now, but I plan on getting pretty complex!
Good questions to ask are things like "Do we have any inventory?" or things like that.
whereas SUGGESTIONS are things like, "Let's root through our purse/backpack and look at all our stuff."
DerpyDoo05-Dec-18 12:02 AM
Too talky I think. I will move it about.
Remi_Erin_Autor05-Dec-18 04:53 AM
Yeah so what you and warren are doing in quest suggestions is absolutely "Discussion".
Remi_Erin_Autor05-Dec-18 05:23 AM
But that's okay since I didn't really explain it in that channel.
Warren05-Dec-18 07:57 AM
Apologies. I was trying to advance the suggestion of getting sidetracked by actually getting a little sidetracked. Pack my suggestion in a meta-suggestion.
Figured this room was for questions and more idle chat and the other room would be fine for chat specifically geared towards advocating a course.
We place a lot of value on productivity, and being distracted can lower your performance on specific tasks. But it turns out that getting distracted once in ...
We're not unfocused or spacey; we're creative and mentally flexible!
Warren12-Dec-18 08:14 PM
Remi, I think we may need a once-per-update @Quest-Lovers or whatever it would be if you enabled tagging the role.
Remi_Erin_Autor12-Dec-18 08:19 PM
that sounds like a great idea. I'll do that so you don't have to keep checking.
Warren12-Dec-18 08:23 PM
I mostly think it'd be a good way to prompt and/or remind people who might not check on their own.
Not super relevant at this juncture, but it's a video I wanted to post a while back, but couldn't find.
Remi_Erin_Autor14-Dec-18 10:02 PM

Warren15-Dec-18 05:42 PM
Weh
Remi_Erin_Autor16-Dec-18 07:48 PM
@Quest Lover Update! Warren suggested I post a notification whenever I update like this, but if it's more annoying than anything lemme know and I won't do that.
Alternatively, I could make a role called QuestNotify and like, notify THAT role.
forrestpyre16-Dec-18 07:48 PM
I don’t mind it
Warren16-Dec-18 07:48 PM
If it bothers people, that would be a good call. But yeah, I definitely don't mind.
AsameNightbreak16-Dec-18 07:49 PM
can't you set it specifically do you get a notification for quest-updates
in the server's notification settings
Remi_Erin_Autor16-Dec-18 07:50 PM
Oh, you sure can.
but not with like a
Warren16-Dec-18 07:51 PM
You can. But that requires that everybody do a thing and many people don't.
AsameNightbreak16-Dec-18 07:51 PM
someone post a test in general I wanna see something
and sure thats true
Warren16-Dec-18 07:51 PM
Lots of rooms in lots of servers I've noticed people often need a tag before they respond even when they're ostensibly quite interested.
AsameNightbreak16-Dec-18 07:52 PM
yeah you right no message sticker
yeah without the message sticker
a ping is appreciated
Remi_Erin_Autor16-Dec-18 07:52 PM
Yeah so if people with the questlover tag don't want the notifications then I can make a notification tag.
i used harpsichords over traditional pianos because it helps with the mood of the song also there better the internal file name for this was suplexion.mp4
Warren03-May-19 09:30 PM
I'm never going to give this quest up.
I'm never going to let this quest down.
I'm never going to run around
and desert this quest.
Remi_Erin_Autor03-May-19 09:31 PM
Alright you know what I'm gonna update tomorrow.
You did it.
You badgered me enough.
;3
Warren03-May-19 09:31 PM
Thank you, Remi!
DerpyDoo03-May-19 09:47 PM
Badger?
Warren04-May-19 12:29 AM
I just realized that when I started with Never Gonna Give You Up
Remi basically answered
"You know the game and we're
gonna play it."
(Please don't call the game off over that joke.)
(If you did, it would mean I made the quest cry and said goodbye. )(edited)
Skye04-May-19 04:46 AM
this chat is amazing
DerpyDoo04-May-19 09:57 AM
Warren just wanted to tell you how they feel and make you understand

DerpyDoo04-May-19 04:22 PM
Oh dear God that is terrified
Warren04-May-19 04:26 PM
Okay! We found literally anyone! Step one of the plan is complete!
Was there a step two? I feel like there should have been a step two.
Warren04-May-19 06:56 PM
Please note that the questions in the suggestion room are not for discussion. They are a proposed line of thought.
I mean, I guess we could discuss them, but I mean that's why I put them there instead of here.
Remi_Erin_Autor04-May-19 06:57 PM
haha thank you Warren.
Haha I showed an IRL friend
and he thought the guy was a Ghost Buster.
Warren04-May-19 07:00 PM
To be fair, ghost busters look like janitors.(edited)
Warren30-Jul-19 03:42 PM
I was going to post a picture of the X-Files "I want to believe" poster with something ghostbusters in place of the UFO
but google image search failed me
so now all you get is this text.

It occurs to me that this Quest may have ended with the world it occupied.
