Can I get a clarification on how Improved Pack Mentality works? It looks like it's Pack Mentality but it applies the buff to the entire group instead of just the unit with the trait. Does it have a penalty when the unit is alone, like the lesser trait? I'd guess it doesn't give penalties to allies when they're not nearby.

Yeah, I need to reword it.

"This troop and all adjacent allies gain a bonus to Calm and Aim as long as they are adjacent."

No penalties unless they'd have both traits.

That sounds really good! Though I suppose in most missions we're spreading out to use cover.

I don't see any species that have both.

Do people still check here? Wondering if I should make an announcements twitter or something.

Anyway. You probably noticed DR halted. That's cause I've been dealing with a pretty disruptive health issue that still isn't all the way better.

But it's a lot of the way better, so I'll be restarting the quest probably in early JANUARY... assuming I don't get worse like I did the last time I said I'd try to start back up.

I lost most of 2020 because... 2020, and I lost like 4 months of 2021 due to health

maybe 2022 will go better???

Sorry you haven't been feeling well. Glad you're feeling better and hope this upcoming year is better.

This wasn’t fruit punch. It tasted like sour watered down lemonade, without even a hint of sweetness to wash it down. You wanted to spit it out, but felt compelled to chug the remainder of the beverage.

As you swallow the last drops of liquid, your eyes start to itch. You put the flask down and start to rub them, but when they open again...

It was... Bright. Almost too bright, your eyes shut again instinctively. You force them open, looking forward again. It’s still too much, but you’re able to just barely squint and try to see. After a few seconds, your nearly closed eyes open wide, taking it all in.

For the first time in your life you understood that you'd been living in the dark. The greyscale life that you once saw color in, filled with hues you’d never before seen. The black and white which gave way to reds, blues, yellows, and so much more.

Roger: "It's... Is this real?"
Franklin: "...?"

You turn to Franklin, staring at him. His shirt was... green. You knew that, but only now could you really see it.

You laugh, it was all so clear. How had you not seen it before? You had known that these walls were red, but only now did you understand what that meant. The dull rusted metal, a color that spoke to you of the passage of time. It was incredible. You wonder if this feeling is anything like when a child first gets glasses.

...Your body felt... heavy...

Roger: "No -N-No! I don't want to go! I can see! I can finally see! I don't wanna- I don't wanna!"

You cry a hopeless rebuke, as your consciousness begins to stir. The ties that held you frayed, before severing entirely.

The last sight to cross your eyes was Franklin's panicked expression. And then...

...

You were lying in bed. Looking through your regular eyes, upon a regular world. The revelation brought upon by the drink is a distant memory. It was fresh enough to make tears well up in your eyes, but impossible to comprehend as you did in the dream.

You saw color... What did that even mean? You always saw color, were you just not seeing it in the dream? And then like, you saw them again...? It was too confusing.

Quietly, so as not to wake your parents, you crawl out of bed and grab the sketchbook out of your bag. Flipping it open to an empty page, you begin to draw. The memories were already starting to leave you, becoming fuzzy and indistinct, but too many cool things happened in that dream to not draw something. Even just one, just a single good memory.

There was really only one option. Out of all the weird aliens you spent time with, you had the best time with Dotti, even if she did leave you a mess when she departed. Your hand begins moving automatically.

Minutes pass as you toil, finding yourself deep in the zone. The lines seem to come naturally, as you're able to keep every detail about her in mind despite not having her present as reference. Eventually, the finished work stares back at you, a warm feeling filling your chest as you look at it.

You'd never forget completely. Even if you couldn't remember every encounter, or the colors, or if the conversations you had vanished from your head, you would still have this. A memento of a good dream. That's the power of art.

...You were getting too sappy over things that didn't really happen. And was it really this late? Okay, time for artists to go to sleep.

After all, tomorrow was Game Night! You'd have to be rested and ready for all the fun you'd have with your friends.

You can just tell it's going to be a Wonderful day.

And with that, Roger and Franklin are no longer present in the space station to interact with.

Happy Halloween everyone!

Sorry to hear you've been going through a rough patch lately and hope it get's better soon. Just remember though that you should worry about yourself first and if life is kicking you in the groin don't feel bad for taking time to try and let things sort themselves out. While I wouldn't mind seeing this quest come back the idea of a quest is to be fun, for both YOU and the reader. So don't feel the need to force yourself to do something if you're not enjoying it.

Again though, glad to hear that you're alright even if things haven't been going to smoothly and hope that it clears up soon. The 3D looks great.

Well, even if it didn't solve the problems you hoped it would, the work you did in 3D looks amazing. I hope what life throws at you sorts out, and remember interest in ROCK is not dead.

well i gave my blessing if someone beat my WPM on that typing test thing and nobody did

so for now no successor has revealed themself

So sense the torch that is the quest...who will take it up? The torch is still hot, so it wouldn't be easy at all to do. Maybe one would need to make a few small torches to start out with, so one could warm up the to the heat before trying to bear it. Or maybe one should instead start their own fire with torches own flame? So that they can make their own torch that can burn bright, if not brighter then the original? All I know for sure is, if we let this fire sit for long enough, it will go out...

This is a very interesting question. I'm not the author but I can't help thinking about it.

Given what has been said of the spell I think construct Lily's fighting skill would be based on Fen's but filtered by his perception of the late lord Rasyan, Fen's only example of a noble fighting (which would shape his expectation of how a noble fights).
Since Fen has seen Rasyan fight for a couple minutes at best, she wouldn't actually fight like him, but it's possible to Fen's eyes it would be undistinguishable.

Should we discuss our attack plan for the meat demon because that's kind of important.
One very important thing I wish to note is that we should not focus on physically attacking it at all. It's kind of an embodiment of the hunt and rage so I feel a physical fight would be in it's favor.
Maybe we can do something to attack it from a distance or perhaps use evoke on it in some way, either way we really need to prepare ourselves.

I want to make sure what's going on here is understood. All the externally-verifiable events depicted in the first thread happened as you saw. The actions Mike took actually happened. All the non-verifiable stuff like internal dialogue did not necessarily actually happen as depicted. That's just Ira's brain subconsciously building a retroactive narrative around the idea that you are the same voices Mike was hearing.

For example, here Mike and Ira have a conversation about how altered states of mind, like dreams, can sometimes pull out memories you had forgotten:
>>/questarch/881877
He tells her about the interrogation dream, but not the hurricane one. Later, when he springs the information about the hurricane that wiped out North Sentinel Island, he doesn't bring up the hurricane dreams at all.
>>/questarch/1008931
That's because the Hurricane dreams didn't necessarily actually happen. They're just Ira trying to subconsciously justify why he didn't bring it up until later by tying it in to their earlier dream conversation.

The things you did in the first thread did matter, because they led Mike to take the actions he took. It's just that, in the context of the narrative, they're not things you guys specifically did. Mike was hallucinating, and the voices he heard did not necessarily say exactly the things you said. But, whatever was going on in his head was similar enough to produce an outcome that looked the same from the outside. If you had suggested other things, Ira would currently be unconsciously justifying a different set of actions with a dif

FWIW, that was me. :D

By the same token, I might be "vetean" but I'm also EXTREMELY out of the game. (Even though I technically finished a quest a week ago :V )

I wouldn't trust myself as a source very far beyond what I wrote in the essay. One thing that pushed me to write that essay was a desire to write down what I knew before I forgot it. I haven't really been keeping up with questing since 2014.

>>128777
I'm not sure if MSPFA died when I made the original chart, but it should definitely reflect it now.

Actually, remind me, what year did it die?


By the way, something that was mentioned in the replies to that essay was how Spacebattles had text-based proto-quests which actually predated Problem Sleuth, though they really failed to gain any traction. However, it might be worth mentioning since SB later turned into a huge text-questing site via cross-pollination from /tg/.
(Its "Roleplaying, Quests, & Story Debates" subforum has 8 million posts(!) However, only a portion of those are actual quests, because the forum owners hate quests and won't give them a subforum for some reason.

Seriously, it's nuts how big the community exploded despite actively hostile administration that keeps shoving it in corners.)

>>129003
SB administration just seems hostile in general. I guess they're used to it.

>>129003
The MSPA forum, which contained the Forum Adventure board, went down at the end of March 2016. However, the MSPFA site which was a seperate place that had the purpose of mirroring forum adventures, saw a huge increase in adventures being started there, even though there wasnt a way to send commands there. What started happening a lot was people hosted adventures there and used a discord server or the tumblr ask function or something else to get commands (theres a comment feature thats been added since then though). The Omegaupdate forum was also made as a stand-in when the MSPA forum died and it has a Forum Adventure board, but it sees way less use than MSPFA.
So basically, MSPA-inspired quests didn't exactly die when the MSPA forum closed, they just went through a big change. A lot of the older users went to Eagle Time or never returned afterwards, and I would consider Eagle Time distinct from MSPA stuff at this point.

Thanks for your research effort ten11, this was very informative.
