I found the perfect character to be a beast companion in my CYOA, and it's from a game that's not even out yet

Now I'm in the weird position of cheering for this game to be a huge success, solely so that I can have lots of fanart of this plant wolf to use in my CYOA

Why does Hidden Text cost only 5? It's by far the most valuable option in the cyoa. Rinnegan and whatnot don't even come close.

Decided to make a secondary, less OP build that I think turned out cooler. I have access to a shitload of kekkai genkai, both through myself and my summons, plus the ability to gain more very easily (and both of these should be greatly enhanced by Blood). That's on top of my own prodigious skill in ninjutsu, and ability to gain more affinities and chakra through my ring. I should hopefully be able to greatly outscale my rival, and I have the Heart to further tilt things in my favour. Worst case scenario I summon Mahoraga and we both lose.

Hopefully this guy would hire me.

"Hey Boss, want me to pop his bones?"
D tier, Yes, 2rd gen, Human, Lucid dream, Goon
Mutations: Morbidity Limit 2
Aberant Power: "Bone Pop" Makes bones explode. 2 points.
Independent Bloodline, aberant bonus. Put that point right into Bonepop or so help me. Now it gots 3 points worth a power, magnitude 6 total.

Givin all my RP points to da boss.

Objectives: Remind everyone why Morbidity limit 2 is a tax you must pay, but only if da boss say so.

Author and thanks for playing also goes into bonepop. Magnitude 7.
Bonepop is cartoonishly gory, takes some concentration, but lets the character sense the bones around him as he developes the power.

"I once dreamed a dem world bones, theys was shakin apart. Then I woke up still shakin wif em."

"Oh, you's gots that Morbidity Limit. You's in the club, sos we can go see the boss, I spose."

Another reason I don't really like the CYOA.

"You're automatically protected from telekinetic nerve pinch death! :)"
...
"Well, except that any random telekinetic MIGHT in fact still be able to telekinetic nerve pinch kill you unless you devote a significant chunk of your resources to stopping it."

Take that stuff out, take out the ludicrous troyx-level 'named' top-tier powers, put in some world powerlevel choice so being a D-lister doesn't make you clearly a total mook in a world ruled by S and X...and it still isn't really great, but it could be decently satisfying.
>>
>>97591054
Morbidity Limit 2 costs 4. It costs 3 to increase a Paragon Aberrant's mag. Morbidity Limit 2 is a total trap.

>>97591186
Yea, most CYOAs are just min max toys, and when the there is clearly a better option it's hard to justify not taking it.

>>97591226
I was just going off of the apparent points in to magnitude out. Since 1 cost effects have magnitude 2, that's the conversion ratio I went with.

My build has 7.5 points total. 4 to Morbidity Limit and 3.5 to aberrant power. You're right, though, on the reread. So a magnitude 3.5 bonepop. Enough to kill most without ML, which is the whole point of the character.

Morbidity Limit is a system trap.

Yeah, because mind powers are nerfed for absolutely no fucking reason in multiplayer. You can gain cosmic powers to create black holes to destroy Earth and kill everyone on Earth, but you cannot mind-control other "players" in multiplayer, no, that goes too far. So fucking stupid.
>>
>>97591441
So why make a build that gets nerfed by the cyoa? I thought we were supposed to learn from the master lmao

Well yeah, that'd be boring as hell. Blowing up the earth is not a thing people are remotely likely to do. Mind control is.

reposting my build

>REASON: curse victim
traits are much harder to get than skills, so it should be a priority

>high cursed energy
>high energy output
both of these are extremely important for any sorcerer and you can't increase them in any way naturally, perfect energy control would have also been really good but its also something I can learn in due time and practice

>cursed biology
yuji was able to punch the fuck out curses before he even learnt what cursed energy is, needless to say this is a pretty good advantage

>combat prowess
no sorcerer can escape close combat, even the summoners need to step up and throw hands eventually

>reverse cursed technique T1
even if it is something one can naturally learn, this is too useful and even gojo had trouble learning it

>TECHNIQUE: poltergeist
it may not have the power ceiling of tulpa rebirther or devil arms tribunal, but just like sukuna's cleave & dismantle it is deceptively strong, extremely versatile and less likely to get fully countered by another technique due to the ability to bypass most defenses/barriers.
>>
>>97591478
>So why make a build that gets nerfed by the cyoa?
It does not get nerfed in Single Player. It is peak in Single Player. Asking that is similar to asking why people play single-player games, multiplayer is fun, and so is singleplayer. No mode is superior to the other, it's just a matter of what you feel like playing.
>I thought we were supposed to learn from the master lmao
You are, look at the amazing image build and the beutiful images, and it's flavorful and creative powers. Truly a work of art that is full of inspiration.

"Make up your own power" is itself an indication of poor CYOA design. Just begs for schoolyard-style "my power is infinity plus one" semantic shenanigans.

>So its a good build when held to absolutely no standards
Banning mind powers is not a standard. It's just as dumb as banning flying while not banning reality-warping powers. It's just dumb and super arbitrary.
>and because you slapped on a bunch of ai art next to it.
The vast majority is not AI art only a tiny fracion is AI art.

There are principles written down; they do not prevent it. See: >>97591392 "My power is that no one can hurt me and they have to do what I say."

That gets stopped by Mental Blocks and Principle 2.

You can either say your build is good or cope about how the cyoa makes your build bad, not both.

It's power creator. You could make literally any power. You picked one of like two possible powers that gets directly nerfed by the cyoa itself. You took easy mode and still only managed to be magnitude 10, then didn't even take the four point option that gives you omnipotence eventually. This is the literal worst build ever made for this cyoa, multiplayer or not.

It is good and really overpowered in Single Player, but it's arbitrarily nerfed in multiplayer.

Clearly it has not been 'stopped,' because there is the build that asserts it. Instead we can just enjoy, perhaps, semantic arguments about whether the build is 'valid' or whether it violates the rule that your whatever-you-come-up-with power can't let you win too effectively. (Oh, here's a hypothetical one person in the universe who wouldn't be stopped, guess it's valid after all!)

No, a virtually open-ended 'make it up yourself' is ridiculously unsuitable for something on such a scale as superheroes. I can appreciate some of the elements in Xenon, but the balance fails in half-a-dozen ways.

You die and get reincarnated as the character in the last CYOA build you made. How fucked are you?

>>
>>97591667
Why do you think it's overpowered in single player? The strongest supers in the setting are ranked magnitude 10-15, and even regular people are stated to have mental block 2.

It's also an X-list build in power creator. You're supposed to be way overpowered and you still somehow found a way to fuck it up.

>>97591706
Last cyoa I made a build for was this so I'm fine.

>>
>>97591704
> Clearly it has not been 'stopped,' because there is the build that asserts it.
He's already been bullied into singleplayer where no one actually has to worry about him, so I'd say it worked pretty well. Turns out most people don't actually want to break everything and just want to make cool powers.

> No, a virtually open-ended 'make it up yourself' is ridiculously unsuitable for something on such a scale as superheroes.
The sheer breath and scale of superheroes is exactly what makes DIY powers so appropriate.

It does directly in that it is still something of a social experience, else people would not post their builds. It does indirectly, and perhaps more severely, in that it moves the calculus from "which of these options do you prefer, given your resources available," to "what degree of capability can you mentally justify attributing to an investiture of X points." I definitely prefer to have a fairly clear line between legitimate and illegitimate choices in a CYOA, and design-it-yourself absolutely blows that out of the water.

'Customization' is one thing, throwing up your hands and telling the player to figure out yourself what you can have and what it should do is quite another.
>>
>>97591706

>>97583835 I'm a "cruel and evil" (the CYOA demands it) necromancer in an undescribed but probably generic fantasy world. Not a comfortable life, but fun? And it might last centuries, if things go well.

Mm, not especially true. Generally on the upper half of the scale for power at least, rarely mere shopping lists. Really, it mostly just means that I don't bother with those "pick two items as you go into a scary forest" cyoas.
>>
>>97591789
I mean you explicitly get a good reincarnation if you properly terrorised the populace, so you shouldn't really want to live too long
You should be purposefully sparing certain orphans so they might one day become heroes that can reasonably slay you
>>
>>97591795
See, that's why you need to be careful when you're making builds, you never know when the isekai fairy is going to strike.

>>97591788
If you don't trust the other player to play fair, why are you playing with him?
>>
>>97591706
it's my most returned-to build, a living god build that's pretending to be a power creator build for its initial centuries because going straight to living god would be too fast and too much

so i'm not fucked at all, in fact nobody is fucked, at the point of amaranth i'll be using master spark level anomaly to fix everything into a form that will seem perfect to everyone everywhere and everywhen simultaneously
>>
>>97591828
Nobody's 'playing with' anyone really, it's not a board game. I prefer, for my own decisions, to have a clear sense of what is legitimate and illegitimate, and I prefer for the place where builds are shared and discussed not to be even more polluted with unresolvable discussions about same thanks to an inevitably-fuzzy set of rules for 'do-it-yourself.'
>>
>>97591807
We are only told your next reincarnation is better relative to other possible next reincarnations you might get; the next reincarnation could still suck compared your necromancer life. You got to read the fine print. Unlike most possible lives, a necromancer's life can be dragged out with necromancy, I'd rather drag it out as long as I can.

if I remember correctly, even with hagomoro's chakra, madara couldn't awaken his rinnegan and had to transplant hashimara's cells into himself to awaken it.

So it is not too far off to think that the rinnegan needs someone with a strong body or vitality to awaken it.

>The One
is the only worthwhile choice here. True love is about chemistry and more importantly a mutual commitment to grow and change together through the seasons of life. All these other options are for people who don't (yet, at least) know how to love. It's incredibly cringe of me to say, but many people here could benefit from reading All About Love, or really any of bell hooks' books. If you feel like love can't be a presence in your life, you're wrong

True love is difficult to capture in language. It can arise from a partner, a parent, a friend, a stranger, or even from within oneself. It appears in countless forms and moments. You remember it from the past, anticipate it in the future, and may be living it now if you are open enough to recognize it.
It is a hope that feels ancient, yet never grows obsolete. It is the quiet certainty at the end of uncertainty. When everything superficial is removed (status, fear, pride, desire) what remains is the most essential version of you. That is where true love resides.
It is both the last warmth that endures when all else fades and the first spark that gave meaning to existence. Its pattern is familiar, almost instinctive. Even without defining it, you recognize its presence when you encounter it.

I almost never read self-help-y books - this is not that, although obviously it comes off that way. It's a very short and easy read, too. Don't let your forced cynicism get in the way of your health and happiness - reading some book I recommend is not important, but being willing to give things a chance is, and really that is a big part of love: giving the benefit of the doubt and assuming first that your loved one has legitimate reasons for their actions

I do not know, anon. They are your dollars, so I have no idea what you'd do with them.

But the most important actors of our time are national governments (of USA and China).
For scale, some 2025 national budgets:
>USA
$7.01 trillion
>China
$4 trillion
>France
$1.8 trillion
>South Korea
$509.7 billion
>Russia
$415 billion
>Iceland
$16 billion

Of course budget decisions are mostly on tracks, the national budget makers have limited discretion. You may have fewer levers to push, but you are also much more free.

Not saying I learned that from the book, or that anyone really would. All I can say is it's worth a read. I think it's a beautiful, well-balanced paean to love. Unlike a lot of feminist literature it doesn't focus on the callousness of men, but on the twisted symbiosis of masculine and feminine norms, and how each perpetuates the worst parts of the other

>>97593128
NTA but "The One" only guarantees that whoever's chosen will be very attracted to you. It does not guarantee that you will be especially (or at all) attracted to them.

If your philosophy (or that book's?) is "I could love anyone with the right perspective", then those are certainly some decisive words, but definitely not anything I could ever agree with. There are an awful lot of people in the world who I just don't like at all, who I'd rather not be around, less form any kind of companionship, and much fall in love with. The One just feels like gambling with exceptionally poor odds.

Throwing my own psych profile on the table, my choice would be The Ideal Partner. Obviously, this suggests some "personality flaws" on my part; though the fact that I've already written my ideal partner into multiple works and defined them rather clearly certainly makes it the most practical choice for me

>forget who we are
I so hate this phrase. It suggests human beings should by default have some sort of knowledge of who they are, and this can be forgotten. In reality, it's the other way round: you observe your own behaviors, perhaps write your observations down, you correlate your observations - piece by piece you build your knowledge of yourself up. You are not restoring something which you previously forgot, the process isn't very different from the process of familiarizing yourself with some external thing.

I don't think that any of the options are really right, and I don't mind if I'm not attracted to The One because I'm not relying on this CYOA to find a partner I care for. I just think that it is a decent choice, whereas the others (to varying degrees) are actually wrong
>>
>>97593186
mmm yes true
Although I will note that with large swaths of data comes a great ability for recontextualisation, and many things you think you know about yourself may infact be false

Calling other perspectives and ideas on what love could be outright wrong is certainly a bold choice.

Considering that CYOAs are, in very large part, wish fulfillment, and that this CYOA is intended to fulfill a wish for love, I would think the only wrong choice is a choice that has little or no chance fulfilling that wish

>>
>>97593186
I think to cast this phrase as something that relies on a fundamental, static self is pretty disingenuous. The self is always changing, but I don't think it's unfair to say that many (if not most) of us cloak ourselves in false indifference, courage, whatever on top of that changing core. It's just an expedient way to talk about that and encourage people to embrace their vulnerable self. I know it's become trite to talk about our "inner child", but the fact is that it exists in everyone and ignoring it does no good

Humans are pack animals and love is the emotion our genes use to make us group up
This does not remove one iota of meaning from who we are or what we do, but it does explain several things
Love can then basically be divided into love for mates, love for family and love for clanmates.
These can be partially predicted by their form
Although one must always remember the existence of evolutional inertia. Just because it might be optimal to be a certain thing today doesn't mean life will instantly adapt

True love is love without the need for reason. Love that overcomes other, lesser goals

When I say I love you, which I do sometimes say, I mean that I feel feelings I would call love if they were inspired in me by a woman or friend when I am spending time with you
I have, since some time ago, decided to speak my heart when on anonymous forums. In real life I would probably not be so "Clear"
Although it is unclear if I would love the fleshy you in real life, I can say: I love you anon. From time to time

Nice quads. This is where the diversity of love actually comes into play, contrary to what these other fuckers were saying. You don't need to live with someone to love one another! I know several couples that have been together for years and live separately, or have separate rooms. It's easy to deride as some issue with their relationship, but if it works for you it works for you. I just don't believe that it's good to cede your responsibility to another person, or to expect that from your lover

I feel that way about some of the "fated rivalries", like the one in Tankista's Blood Magic. Feels a bit too much like murder.

Or exotic hobbyist problems. Even my offline friends don't really share mine, and the relationship survives on limited exposure to what I consider fun.

To be honest, I like a good self-healing one. If it can be used to help others, so much the better.

You see, I have a close relative who really tore up their body as a weekend warrior. Seeing what that did to them, and dealing with the fallout from having to constantly accomodate them. . . Well, it made an impression.

A good movement power is always nice, as is the ability to see (and understand) magic - if it exists in the setting. And can't go wrong with decent starter funds. Don't want to try to save the world between shifts at McDonalds, right?

Well, since he's not touch-phobic, probably anyone who joined the Akatsuki (or otherwise allied with him) could. In close quarters (like caving), it can be harder NOT to touch each other.

In combat? Well, he's a veteran Uchiha with the mangekyo sharingan. Your best bet to pass the "bell test" would be through raw numbers, like insect mastery or shadow clones. Failing that, some of the less tangible attacks, like shadow or psychic, are probably the best strategy. Less movement for his superpowered eyes to see.

Going by the dictionary definition, love is a strong affection. And true is to be realized, in this case recipricated. True love is therefor when two persons are the mutal targets of each other's affection. False love would be love unrequited.
Adding any additional rules would fall under the No True Scottsman Fallacy and any additional varriance in answer is more often than not a listing of their personal requirements for affection.

Well, even throughout most of Naruto, he's just a high level Uchiha. It's only in the final arcs, when he starts splicing himself with other ninjas, that he starts hitting dark lord-tier powers.

So the key would be getting to him early, when he's just a very jumped-up version of Itachi (Sasuke's brother, who also has the mangekyo sharingan). Either with violence, or just psy-op him into going down a different path. Maduro lived through some very ugly times, and had a suspicious streak. Even the suggestion that he's being used might be enough to divert him.

This actually gives me an idea for a CYOA where you're matched with your 100% ideal perfect partner, except they're unknowingly playing a CYOA to decide THEIR perfect partner (who you will become), and you're using your points just in an attempt to slightly sway their hand toward choices you don't mind (increasing the cost of options you're extremely against, decreasing the cost of options you'd actually like to become, et cetera)

You get the girl (or guy if that's your speed) no matter what.

However, I generally don't like CYOAs that deal with love. It's a cardinal sin for a fantasy since it's not as enchanted and picturesque as the picture in my mind if I deliberately choose it.
In any case, I would probably play such a CYOA, but with the intention of simply remaining friends and ending things amicably. I sincerely hope that one day we will both find the person we love.
>>
>>97595916
lower your standards
>>
>>97595922
Then she'd be a good match for a watered down version of me.
Again, I find it more fulfilling to play matchmaker for waifus.
>>
>>97595916
>so I don't think the premise works
Yes yes I've already considered that angle, you're very clever, congratulations. The full, 1pt text premise is that they're YOUR perfect ideal, but whatever cosmic matchmaker is bringing you two together isn't perfect, and you're not exactly their ideal. Instead, due to shenanigans, you're accidentally roped into being the partner they design (unawares) in the CYOA, and the matchmaker can only give you the power to slightly shift the CYOA around.

Taking bets. Do you think we'll see a new OC by the end of the month?

>>97595983
Almost certainly. I might finish mine, even.

>>
>>97595983
Yes. I trust authors.
>>
>>97595997
You didn't influence anything. Your input is irrelevant. I was already aware of the implication that anon's 100% perfect ideal partner should, by definition, consider anon their 100% perfect ideal partner too, and that contrivances would be necessary to keep the basic premise afloat.

Of course I'm not influencing anything. Perks of being a random voice in the digital void.
It's more because you sound vaguely defensive where there is no need to be.

As do I. Sometimes it's hard to but whenever I get serious doubts, another OC drops. It's gotten to the point I've stopped doubting.

We are the /cyoag/. Hmm... how about this. If OC does not release by the start of March, I'll take a break from my WIP to make a one pager in a genre of the thread's choosing.

>>97596064
I'm just a bit flabbergasted that there are people who could read an intentionally over-the-top serious phrase like "You didn't influence anything. Your input is irrelevant." and not interpret it as anything besides dry humor.

>>97596082
NTA (how many people are talking?) but the thread is regularly raided by Matterfag and other bad faith actors. How often is that kind of phrase really just humor?
>>
My tone should be read as cool yet aristrocratic, carried by an elegant whimsy, a wit which transcends class and era.

The pauses between my words ought to suggest the tinies moment of pondering, as if I were choosing the next word as one chooses a delicacy. But the pondering is brief, as my mind is fast as lightning, and the sentence proceeds.

My periods at the ends of sentences are to be sensed as something final, the nail in the coffin, the nexus of the maelstrom of minds upturned by my arguments. After the punctuation... you should imagine there a lengthy silence. There is a gravity to the silence. The world will never be the same again. My words have changed it.

I visualize it like somebody making a finger heart, but psychically. A finger heart within their heart, you could say.

>>97596128
By default, a symbol. If I try to hear it as a noise, it's a videogamey soft ching noise.
>>
>>97596163
It's my own voice by default unless I know the voice of the person writing.

So for example, if my gf sends me a <3, I read it as less than three in her voice.

I might have autism.
>>
>>97596169
You hear narration?

It is normally, but certain phrases can have different voices, and If I've heard someone speak for too long my internal monologue sort of sounds like them

For my own thoughts, yes.

In all fairness some of the super rich are genuinely retarded outside their limited skillset of making connections, financial literacy and spotting good opportunities to stick their money in other people's businesses so it grows bigly. And yet, not all of them have been automatically purged.

I just think joining the rat race for endless growth so you can brag about putting a label on every billboard on the planet is such a fucking waste of free will compared to a 10/10 who unconditionally loves and supports you.

>But you can just BUY all the baddies you want with a trillion gorillion dollarydoos-
One, it's like eating potato chips. Yeah that 3DPD puss feels great in the moment but actually spend time around gen alpha outside of the bedroom and you'll soon regret your life decisions. Two, sex gets old real fast if there's nothing worthwhile attached to it. People don't always become degens because they're all naturally degens, they become degens because they're constantly chasing the next dopamine hit. It's addictive, like many chemicals. And three, there's a non-zero chance any girl cheap enough to buy has already been casting couch'd by Epsteins and Weinsteins long before you pick her up. That's what prostitution is, ultimately: Cucking yourself at more removes.

For a trillion dollars I'd master and promote my hobbies, live somewhere both pleasant and relatively convenient, and yeah I could probably win over a tolerable woman who keeps herself in shape and likely doesn't fuck me over until my body withers and she can get her filthy hands on my will. But that's the thing. Probably and likely. Everything is so commercialised in this flaming garbage pile of a world that if you can attach genuine loyalty to a 10/10, I'd pick that over any amount of stock options.

The correct way to play Richard Merryweather is unironically to divorce your bitch wife even if it sucks, cut off the thot and maintain a distant but civil relationship with Marceline until either the passion runs out or they settle into a bond of platonic friendship and trust instead of frivolous passion. The game is rigged against you, and the only winning move is not to play.

Either that or go full incel school shooter and kill those hoes (except Marceline)

This is perhaps unkind of me to say but the impression I get of you is that you are very focused on social status and personal indulgence, and you assume everyone else is as well? But most people are less focused on social status and personal indulgence than that. I really feel you're not appreciating the degree to which people can be different and genuinely desire different things.

I agree there's a lot of room to screw things up. Getting contacts will be very difficult at first. Still you're too pessimistic here. You like one side in Burmese civil war more? Throw money at them (again, contacts are difficult to establish, but this is not insurmountable). Throw money at people and organizations you want to have more money. There's a lot of complexity in how to handle this magical mystery money, but that doesn't need to be your problem, the organizations can figure it out by themselves.

Why are you giving your money to random jackasses in bumfuck nowhere, and telling them to go to war?
>He obediently complies
Do you mean it's difficult to make some hobo in bumfuck nowhere do something for money? Some people wouldn't take your money no matter what, others would do anything for money, but this jackass in bumfuck nowhere that you're envisioning seems like the latter type. You don't need 100,000,000 dollars for this.
>No one ever investigates this (Including the guys who keep being handed this money)
This is a matter of contacts. I already said contacts are difficult, but it's not insurmountable.
>Once it has been established that an unknown force is capable of hyperinflating the economy, no one in the government does anything about it
Adding 100,000,000 dollars to the economy, especially in such a shady way, doesn't hyperinflate the economy. It would be difficult to even observe at first.
>Scarcity based resource maintians it's value when a near infinite amount of it comes out of thin air
Again, adding 100,000,000 dollars to the economy does not cause the value of dollars to become zero.
>Who even accepts these bills?
What
>Who has an unused warehouse of prescious medical supplies?
I have no idea what you are trying to say. In the world we live in, there exist various goods which can be bought in exchange for money, like medical supplies or washing machines or ice cream.
>Who has an entire empire for sale?
It's rare for countries to exchange any territory for money. The last time was in 1963, when West Germany bought 69 km2 from Netherlands. You're thinking of this like it's a video game.
>They don't DO anything.
You repeat this like a mantra. It is clearly meaningful to you.
>Once you have finished the magic trick everyone is left with worthless paper
Again, adding 100,000,000 dollars to the economy does not cause the value of dollars to become zero.
