You manage to escape the officer's mess without anybody else trying to interrupt the Most Important Meal of the Day. There is only so much shit a man can take before his morning coffee, and when pressed to the wall, your retaliatory measures become lean, efficient, and downright cruel. God has smiled upon Yokosuka today, for nobody else had to suffer it.

You're standing outside, in the middle of a truly beautiful Japanese summer day. Light, fluffy clouds drift past lazily outside, and the heat hasn't yet become stifling.

The world is your oyster cracker - tasty, easily destroyed and all too brief an experience.

But hey, at least you still have your sense of humor!

And you know, this was the best Yokosuka will ever be. Consider how many US ships there were. It's inevitable that more of them will come back, and bring more History with the Japanese girls with them. More sibling rivalries, more 'who-sunk-who', more trauma, more... whatever the fuck is up with Essex.

One of these days we're going to go to breakfast, and the Officer's Mess will just be on fire.

Pretty much this.

"Hey, Parker, what's up?"

"I need to talk to you."

"Wish fucking granted, I'm on a secure phone."

"Asshole, I spend my fucking working days locked in in a fucking BUNKER behind a fucking STEEL DOOR with a fucking SLOT in it guarded by two ANGRY LOOKING MARINES who are picked by their ability to GLARE VERY SCARY LIKE at anyone who even approaches THE SACRED DOOR to push through a request form for perusal by THE MYSTIC SAGES OF CLASSIFIED INTEL."

The gel pack just sits there for an instant. Then it mutters a tiny "fuck you, boot" and explodes errywhere.

With a sigh, you pull your old ball-and-chain out of your pocket - your secure smartphone. It's encrypted six ways to Sunday, it costs a small fortune, and despite this it's mostly good for playing Candy Crush because the Navy classifies anything of real import high enough that you've got to see it in person, with a brooding Marine hovering over you lest you try to fold up the paper and smuggle it out. Snowden made quite the impression a few years back. There's a few boring e-mails, mostly confirmations from your staff that the Usual Things you're having them keep tabs on haven't thrown up any red flags recently - and then there's a two SMS messages.

... is it SMS? They don't really have that in Japan, they just use e-mail clients like instant messengers; every phone ships with its own. But this is an American base - does the big microwave relay tower in the middle of base even support that? The messenger app is a government-made one, encrypted, etc, so you don't really know-

- you must be getting old. You tap the damn message and just read it.

“Skipper. Urgent intel. See me at my place. --Parker.”

You blink, then scroll to the second one.

“P.S. Bring food please Jesus.”

“So, what are we doing?” Shoukaku asks.

“Apparently we're going to visit Dunkin Donuts,” you tell her. “And after that we're going to visit The Fortress of Sallow Skin.”

“The... what?” Shoukaku asks with a polite expression of bafflement.

“You'll see. But we'll need a ride, first.” You tap in the base motor pool's number, and request a ride. Taking a seat on the hard bench, Shoukaku on one side and Willie on the other, you spend a few minutes processing your e-mail in depth. There's one note from Admiral Thomas wondering if you've actually *met* your staff yet, and you wince internally - just one more thing that's fell by the wayside. There's a rather harried message from Goto, which starts with “DEATH” and “YOUR GONADS IN HELL” which you rather suspect was sent while quite drunk. It seems the aftermath of The Livestream Incident has had a significant impact on him as well - you make a note to talk to him about it.

Your ride arrives with a soft purr - a proper SUV, enclosed, with air conditioning. You rise, levering yourself up with a grunt as you lean on your cane - and pause.

Shoukaku's staring at the SUV like she's seen a ghost.

“What?” You look over and see that the SUV has no driver. “Oh, neat. They sent us one of these.”

“One of what!?” Shoukaku asks with alarm.

I'm surprised they didn't clear the whole ship before launching that thing. V2 were not entirely predictable when launched from land, let alone a carrier.
>>
You point at the little spinning doodad on the top, about the size and shape of a coke can. “Automatically guided vehicle. That's a camera that keeps track of the surroundings. Technology isn't ready for mass transit yet, and it sure as hell isn't Marine proof, but it's just the thing when someone needs a ride around base. Cuts down on staffing.” You hop in the driver's side door, and wait till Shoukaku and Willie join you. Willie opts to sit in the middle on the front seat, wedged between you and the shapely carrier-girl.

You keep to the draconian base speed limit, weaving over and around the steep hills that occupy the middle of the base till you reach the restaurant area. The McDonalds is undergoing a flurry of activity; construction proceeding at a breakneck pace. You pick out several uniforms amongst the construction crews - of all colors. Marines, Navy, and even a few Army artilleryman are working together to speed the construction crew's labors. It's... almost poetic.

McDonalds. Yeah, Navy grub is supposedly second only to ChairForce, but you still can't imagine what privations would make Marines treasure a goddamned McDonalds burger. You pop the SUV into park and pop out to visit the Dunkin Donuts at your fastest hobble.

You end up in line behind Tenryuu, who's got all of DesDiv 6 following her in a line like baby ducklings. She orders for her troupe - donuts, tea for herself, various cold drinks for her charges - and one cup of coffee. You notice Akatsuki preening a little at the mere mention of the latter, but the desk attendant gives Tenryuu a sly wink and starts to mix something that looks suspiciously like hot cocoa with just enough coffee to conceal the fact. The small girls help carry the overladen tray to a table, mindful of Tenryuu's wounds. You can tell her sister's still weighing heavily on her mind - but she seems buoyed a bit in Desdiv 6's presence.

Or maybe she's just putting on a brave front.

You step to the counter and order the biggest box of donuts you can, plus some bagels - and some hot chocolate. After hours of working on Navy coffee, sometimes something sweet is welcome.. and hot chocolate packs plenty of caffeine in its own right. You're just collecting your purchases when you realize you can't carry everything and still use your cane.

“Allow me, Yankeetoku~”

You turn to size up the speaker and find Kongou, in the flesh... in only the flesh. Almost. You do a shameless double-take, unable to help yourself - she's wearing a startlingly daring bikini, and she fills it out better than you could've imagined.

“Does it look good!?” she says with excitement.

“Your drink, miss,” the clerk at the other register says, clearly checking out her ass as best he's able. “Iced green tea, no sugar.”

The word “sugar” rings in your brain alarmingly. “Does she usually take it WITH sugar!?”

“Not anymore~” Kongou sing-songs as she picks up her drink, the drink-carrier of hot chocolates and the big box of donuts without breaking a sweat. “I'm trying to lose weight for beach season!”

You let your eyes run down her toned figure one more time. “... what weight?”

“I'm trying to lose four-fifths of a stone!”

“... a stone.”

“Stone! I weigh nine stone and I ought to be at eight and one-fifth.”

You and the clerk share an uncertain glance.

“If you say so, hon.”

“I DO, DESS!” she exclaims cheerfully as she leads you out the door. You feel Tenryuu's eyes on your back - but this isn't the time, you decide. She loads the purchases into your SUV, placing them on the floor in back - and then hops in herself.

“... I'm not getting you out of there, am I?”

Kongou turns a big, sparkly-eyed smile your way and shakes her head. “Nope!” she says cheerfully.

“Ayep,” you sigh, and sling yourself into the SUV's driver seat. You've barely pulled out onto the road again when Kongou's hugging you from behind, pressing her chest against your seat back.

“Oh Yankeetoku it worked it worked it WORKED-”

“What did, now?”

“The livestream!” she exclaims. “We got a huge bunch of letters from people who saw it, there were so many they literally buried me!”

“... literally?”

“Hate came in and dumped them on me!” Kongou recites wistfully. “And he was so excited he was shouting! I opened them and they all say me and Goto are PERFECT for each other, dess!”

“... have you told Goto yet?” Shoukaku asks from the passenger seat.

“Oh, dess, YES!”

“And....?”

“He was so overwhelmed with emotion he couldn't even TALK!” Kongou exclaims. She bounces up and down, giggling with girlish glee.

“I'll bet,” you say carefully.

The only way I can see new QMs to remotely gain an audience on the qst board is rather scummy to say the least, and that's for established QMs to promote smaller ones, but that'll just lead to a shit load of accusations of nepotism, cronyism, etc.

I mean, that's what I do. SW89 ended, I can't keep up with Merc's unnatural stamina nor his character reuse, MGNQ is basically dead.

More like "will not". Even if the mods are right with their whole "if you build it, they will come" belief and /qst/ does get enough consistent activity to justify its existence, it's never going to be as fast as /tg/.

I read three quests. This, Hyperdimension Dwarf Fortress, and Alchemical Quest.

>>
>>22871
Papercraft has a community outside of weird internet boards. Quests only really exist on a few sites, and most of those sites have no reason to leave their preferred quest places for other quests. A papercraft board will always have people who got interested in some other way showing up, but quests aren't guaranteed that. This especially hurts given that quests require having players to run.

But this is really, REALLY not the right place for this discussion. I mean, half the board's metathreads are filled with this, no reason to bring it here.

The pool of people who are willing to go looking specifically for a new quest to read is dramatically smaller than the pool of people who would be willing to read a quest if they happened to come across it in the course of their ordinary, non-quest-related browsing. And just because people come to a board for one quest doesn't mean they're necessarily going to go tooling around the catalog to see what else is on the board.

The only way this board is going to manage to have a healthy user base is if there's some untapped population of anons out there who aren't interested in /tg/ stuff but are interested in quests, to the point that they're willing to go looking for quests of their preferred kind in a not-specifically-/tg/ questing board but weren't previously willing to go to /tg/ to find quests. I wouldn't rule out the possibility, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Papercraft is a hobby done outside of 4chan, and generally solo.

Questing happens on 4chan itself, and is an inherently social pastime that fundamentally requires the active participation of anons on the board.

/po/ being small and slow does not in any way hinder your ability to do /po/ things. /qst/ being small and slow is intrinsically a barrier to doing /qst/ things.

DESU there's nothing to be done about that. Anon's gonna vote with their feet, and if everyone's hell-bent on hating it to hate it, they will. Maybe it really is a bad idea, maybe not, but it's obvious that most people aren't willing to wait and find out, they want it dead, they want it dead now, and they'll do their damndest to make it so.

That's how democracy works; anon votes with their feet, etc. Nothing I can do about it. But I at least want to say I gave /qst/ a fair shot - so if it fails, at least we can say it's because /tg/ as a whole didn't want to do it, and not because the Big Name QMs decided to kill it via boycott. If you want to look at it this way, it'll be a good argument against those who would claim the opposition is just petty people who don't represent True /tg/. I.E. the people everyone is sure is doing this in bad faith to contain EVIL QUESTS.

anyways it's a big update I've been writing hard, update soon etc.

This may be true, but conversely having a popular premise or hook won't do you jack shit if you're off on a board where nobody will see it.

It's really quite analogous to marketing a commercial product. Good marketing requires a pitch that will catch the customer's eye, AND putting that pitch out there in places where people will see it. If you have the best damn pitch in the world, but it's only published in the back of "Sales Pitch Enthusiasts Monthly", you're not going to get many people coming to check out your product.

Take that, and imagine there were fewer people on the board. It's quite easy to imagine a scenario where all but a handful people were reading it solely because they knew you. And then imagine they didn't know you at all. How many posts would you have gotten? You'd be lucky if there were 5 or 6. And that will be this board in a month's time, if it survives. Is that encouraging to the QM? Do they want to waste their time witing for only a couple people?

What about the readers? Why will they want to go to this board? How will they even know it exists? That's the real problem. Quests, as we know them, exist pretty much solely on /tg/, with only a few very more obscure places holding them. With quests off /tg/, only a handful out of the thousands of new people coming to /tg/ every day might even have HEARD of a quest once, much less want to read them. Old questers will slowly move away from here, meaning there will be fewer and fewer players every day, let alone every month. Within a year, quests which may have gotten 20 players are down to a handful, and those that got less than that die stillborn.

THAT is what will happen to this board. There is no way to garner interest in quests other than exposure, and if quests are put here there will be no exposure. Thus questing dies.

“Soooooo,” you drawl, “What's going on with Kirishima and Haruna, back there?”

“Kongousisters, dess?”

“Indeed.”

“Hmm,” Kongou muses. You watch her purse her lips as she searches the ceiling. “I dunno, dess!”

“... are you serious?” Shoukakau wonders.

“Yes!” Kongou objects. “Kirishima is always so smart and cool, but she's been glaring at people more than usual! All scary and scowly like...” she mimics the expression on the mirror, turning her hands upside-down, palms to her face to ring her eyes with thumb and forefinger to simulate Kirisihima's glasses. Somehow this doesn't help the impression much. “Super intense!”

“... and Haruna?” you ask.

“Oh, Haruna's so sweet~” Kongou says with a giggle. “She had a bad time during the war, you know? She got bullied a lot, so she looks up to strong people who can guard her tender, sweet soul. Like ME, dess!” Kongou reclines on her seat, preening to nobody. You catch Shoukaku's eyes narrowing a bit before she reaches over and adjusts the rearview mirror.

Afore long you're slowing the SUV to turn off onto the steep, narrow little track that climbs into the interior of the steep hills that dot the middle of base - the places where the Navy likes to squirrel away some of their most advanced - and secret - facilities. You park the SUV in front of the same nondescript little squirrel hole you visited last time.

The guard at the door is truly amusing to watch. As Shoukaku and Willie disembark, you see him swelling as he draws up his Authority, ready to blast apart the asshole who showed up to a clearance-only facility with a fucking army in tow. He deflates like a punctured tire when you step out, the sight of scrambled eggs presaging a lot of trouble and phone calls he doesn't need, ending in the undying enmity of a flag-ranker with a newly acquired taste for his ass.

And then Kongou gets out.

People who are ALREADY interested in quests.

On /tg/, some portion of those 80% you so offhandedly dismissed will see a quest that peaks their interest, give it a look, and then potentially start following it, and through it other quests. Thus the population of questfags grows.

On this shit board, only people who are already interested in quests will come (and few of those, given how shit the board is), meaning the questfag population stagnates and declines as people leave.

What isn't even handed about it? Did you not read the second half of the post? Dear lord, man, quit trying to avoid this point.

I think it's safe to assume that if quests are banned from /tg/, not all of the questing userbase will follow. Some will stay on /tg/, no longer reading any quests. Some may go to Anonkun. Some may even go to SB, SV, or QQ. In no

Besides, those same people are the people who make up the questing community. People who started out only interested in those things, saw a quest that caught there eye, perhaps it was relevant to their interests, and started reading it. After this, maybe they got into questing as a whole. Maybe that was the only quest they would ever read. In any case, if it's not on /tg/, this will never occur.
>>
For the first time you truly comprehend why they call it “bombshell:” because it is. Complete with secondaries as the guard staggers and does an obvious double-take. Kongou goes prancing forward to greet him, the box of donuts in one hand. The poor young man's eyes go blank as he enters a fugue state; the eyes of a thirsty, thirsty man who doubts the mirage before him even as he yearns with every fiber of his soul to reach out and taste it.

Kongou stops before him, clutching the box's handle together in both hands before her as she tilts her head and smiles up at him. “Hell~o~”

“... uh,” the guard manages.

“Here~” She reaches into the box, plucks out a bagel, levers his chin down with her knuckles and pops it in - then she runs her hands through his hair and ruffles it a bit. You can see the shiver shoot straight down his spine, bounce off his heels and race towards his scalp again - it does that a few times, like waves in a test tank.

“Is it just me or does she know exactly-”

“Yes,” Shoukaku says, halfway between wonderment and alarm. “She... does.”

The guard sees you coming, and turns blank eyes to your ID badge. He nods as you introduce yourself, nods as he opens the door for you, and keeps nodding to empty space as your small entourage files into the facility. You almost turn and crack the door again to see if he's still nodding away like a bobble-head losing steam.

There's a similar pause at the entrance to the secured section; the windowed door where credentials are checked and the Unworthy repulsed from the Inner Sanctum of Secrets. Or something. There's acronyms for this shit, very long, very fancy acronyms, but you have the Star, which you've started to think of as The Force. You don't understand half of it, you don't know how to use it yet, but it obviously has an upside and a downside, and it's really handy at getting you past scowling people who want credentials.

Kongou nearly pops right through the window when someone unlocks it to answer her summons. As the Marine guarding this door leans over a bit to check out her ass, she leans on the narrow sill with her elbow, giving the guy on duty a good look down her cleavage. “Hello, Chief Parker~”

There's several seconds of silence.

Then, a grunt.

“... he did clear you?” You hear someone marvel. “Well thank-ee you Goto, hoo-ee.” The door jerks open so fast Kongou stumbles rather ungracefully. The bleary-eyed, stubbled face of Chief Parker greets you. He squints against the harsh fluorescent glare, and beckons you in.

“C'mon.”

Shoukaku pulls Wilie away from your side gently while you and Kongou enter the inner bailey, where Parker's small team of SIGINT weenies do their best work. Parker falls into a chair and leans back, staring at the ceiling tiles blankly while he waits for you and Kongou to take your seats around the cluttered table in the middle of the crowded room.

“Where's everyone else?”

“Gettin some rack time,” Parker mutters.

“... and you're not?”

“Wouldn't help anyways,” Parker says with real misery. “Anyway... uh... Christ.” He rubs at his face miserably. Kongou pushes him the donut box and he falls upon it like a pack of stand-up comedians on Sarah Palin, not stopping till he's devoured an entire bagel and two chocolate cake donuts in about as many minutes. Looking a little more focused, he pushes the box away in embarrassment. “Sorry, I'm just...”

“Parker,” you say gently, “I did RIMPAC twice. Trust me, I've been there. Take your time.”

Parker nods absentmindedly. “It's just... we got something from Langley.”

The air conditioner clicks off just as he speaks, leaving that word hanging heavy in still air. Langley. “... something?”

He nods wearily. “We picked it up here, of course -” he points upwards, where the huge communications mast looms almost directly overhead on the tallest hill on base. “-but we only caught part of it. Navy Intel caught some on their EP-3s, our listening posts caught some more, the NRO picked up some on their bloody satellites, even...” he shakes his head violently, as if he could fling the weariness out of him. You remember that sharp, frustrated jerk of muscles yourself, usually as you teetered on the edge of dozing off in your captain's chair. “It's... okay. It was a real mess of signals; someone broadcast something across pretty much every frequency you could imagine. Every different damn wavelength you can imagine, so some stations picked up some parts and not others. Attenuation, altitude, even antenna length - Christ, some of it was actually ELF, can you believe that? They didn't tell me how they picked that up... thought they shitcanned all that stuff after MILSTARS...” he shakes his head again. “Sorry. Anyway, Langley goes and hunts all this shit down, puts together all the pieces...”

“... and?”

“Noise,” he says glumly. “Just noise. There was a lot to account for... every different source needed scrubbing and analysis based on its own criteria, and then we had to account for the lightspeed delay to the high orbit satellites - I know it sounds stupid but when you don't know what you're looking for-” he catches himself. “Anyway. They sent it to me, because-”

“-your algorithm.”

“Yes,” he says quietly. “My fucking algorithm.” He pulls a small laptop towards him, taps the volume key up a bit, and presses the “play” button on the keyboard's top row.

The sound was distorted, wobbly - you can hear the suggestion of sounds; guttural grunts, gasps - the kind of subvocalizations that you're used to from abyssals, but... lacking the gut, somehow. Lacking the undercurrent that pulls at the depths of your soul.

And then the cacophonous blast of sound that rattles the little laptop's cheap speakers, squealing and warping like mic feedback mixed with ocean background noise:

PLEAAAHS H-LP UHHHHHZZZZZ-
Kongou shivers quietly in her chair, staring at her small curled fists.

“... Jesus,” you whisper.

“That ain't the best part,” Parker says. “Langley did get a rough fix on the source, by time-of-arrival analysis. Not a very good fix, but good enough to check satellite photos from the past few days for anything interesting.” He unlocks a small briefcase and slides a glossy photo towards you. It's a very high-definition photo of what was probably a naval base - before it was leveled so thoroughly that even the piers had been smashed. It looks like a field of splinters, an oil slick spreading across the bay like an infection from huge rents in the fuel tanks on shore.

“This isn't a satellite photo,” you tell him. “Definition’s better than that, way better than even persistent stare-”

“Shhh,” Parker says with wry amusement. “Don't wanna end up hanging upside down from the Battle Room ceiling with your head stuffed in a toilet, right?”

“Heh,” you allow. “Still, the fuck am I looking at?”

“Petropavlovsk.”

You feel your stomach drop right through the floor. “Petropavlovsk?

“Petropavlovsk.”

You have a pretty good idea why Parker didn't bother with rack time, now.

>people only ever read one quest
You'd be surprised. I've probably read more quests over the years than any half of this thread combined. And even then the only quest I track these days is KCQ. I even dropped reading my other favourite For House and Dominion because that quest is extremely detail oriented and I just don't have the time anymore. People will skip over a quest for the slightest reason and it's very hard to gain traction.

Being one of the titans of this industry, having an audience AT ALL is easy to take for granted. You HAVE talent, you have the ability to write a interesting narrative, characters with motivations that drive them, a cadre of friends willing to read your stuff and give you a straight opinion, and can (usually) hold yourself to a consistent schedule. Now think about all of those other QM who don't have all of those things, or ANY of those things. Compare them to your own efforts at getting into the writing industry. How many editors even accept the kind of fiction you like to write? How many editors have given you the slightest response? That cold shoulder is what new QMs have to face on a daily basis. They will never have the chance to develop those skills if they don't have an audience willing to help them grow, and /qst/ is only going to make that situation worse.

So please don't legitimize this place any more than you already have, people will take your presence here as a sign that they were right. And before you say "who gives a shit", you should note that whoever made this place is clearly listening to them and not us.

The Shimakaze Space Program is also interesting but not something we can leverage yet- a lot of her acrobatics seemed to rely on her having a very fine control over whether she's a ship or a girl at any given moment. The other examples we've seen (Shigure, Akagi, Kaga) it takes a bit of time to transition.

We know perfectly well how people find out about quests. We outlined it for you above. Tell me, how the fuck is someone supposed to know that quests EXIST, let alone what they are or if they're interested in, if they aren't exposed to them? You have yet to answer this point. Not even in your ask. You deflect the point, like you are here, or delve into minute details that don't pertain to the point at hand. Notice how you ignore the larger posts while answering the personal attacks. And this pattern can be seen in many other occasions.

Um, if this place is where Erry and Terry likely have their base, we need to proceed with the utmost caution possible.

Russian's didn't have the funds to properly scrap their nuke boats, so they basically tied them up and let them slowly fall apart at the pier. We're talking some seriously nasty shit (look up the reactor plant on an Alfa if you want to throw up in your mouth). I have no idea how 'leaking Soviet nuke boat corpse left for dead at the pier' will relate to Abyssals, but I bet it isn't good.

Also, do we know where the mothballed Kirovs are? Because that could be really bad given that they were purpose built to kill aircraft carriers.

>But people don't use archives to find new quests
Okay that one isn't true. I found a few quests that I still read cause it was gold on suptg.

>>24233
All we need is a B-61-12 and a capable aircraft to drop it.

Because we need to nuke those cunts.

>>24087
>>24087
Wait wait wait... We have Iku. Iku has a recon floatplane.

Can we send a few lewdmarines up to scout out the place?
>>
>>24250
Oh, the Russians will hate having us come in to help even MORE.

>>24252
Fuck no. This is a Base Terror Assault Mission. With a Third Side (the Russians) shooting at everything and everybody.

>>24262
We never get lucky. Except that one time... but I'm pretty sure that was Alzis pulling one of his schemes.

I shudder to think of what he got out of it.
>>
>>24113
>Yeah when they misclick /pol/.

To be perfectly fair here it's not an argument without merit to say they won't. No, seriously. I got a degree in Journalism, remember, and one of the things we studied was page design and layout. This is an antiquated stat from the days where dead tree papers ruled, but tl;dr something like 70% of readers wouldn't bother to turn to an inside page to continue a story found on the front page, which is one reason why inverted pyramid format became so important in later years. Go compare the New York Times announcing the sinking of Lusitania to, say, World News today or something and the differences in page design will jump out at you.

So yeah, maybe the doubters are right. But unless someone wants to run a bunch of surveys and collect the data like a nerd, and somehow filter out all the asspained people who'd try to triple or quadruple vote to throw the statistics, the only real way to tell if it'll work or not is by trying the experiment. And a shitton of people are terrified of even doing that, because they're sure the board was made in bad faith and they're worried that a good faith attempt to try it out will be construed (or misrepresented) as endorsement or consent, resulting in Quests being expelled from Egypt to wander the wastes of /qst/ for forty years. As multiple people have summed up in this very thread.

>>24111
>you replied with actual arguments instead of an anime grill reaction pic YOU MUST BE SO MAAAAD

Please explain this logic to me. No, please. Do point out where I got "so mad" and succumbed to the mighty trolls, and demonstrated for all time my inability to "suck it up." Go ahead. I'll wait.

That would be too easy.
This is both a story and a game run by a DM.

Play along here. We're going in with naval combat.
>>
>>23905

That scream thing over the entire damn radio band is all kinds of worrisome. All we'd need at this point is for a shipgirl expy of Alma to show up.

Then again, considering how the USSR has treated its ships historically, it's more likely than I'd like.

You want us to go into a facility specifically designed to keep out a seaborn attack? We out to be asking the Russians for permission to go in on the landward side. Of course, if it's not the Abyssals at all but the Russian shipgirl program (I can't imagine they'd be very nice to their girls given hoe they treat their ships) then we'd just be tipping them off.

So, I guess the question is do we thinks it's the Abyssals or some fucked up Russian shipgirl program?
>>
>>24296
If only the staff posted referrer statistics for /qtg/ threads vs /tg/ threads. That'd be enough to give an idea of how people find quests.

We know that'll happen, the guy that made this has his head up his ass enough to take it purely this way and no other. If he didn't, he would have adjusted the rules to accommodate today's quests.

Though he's not anti-quest, just ancient-quest minded.

Though what'd happen if /qst/ becomes a thing isn't wandering 40 year, but a slow painful death of questing as a whole.

Exactly, it's his style to make things like this.

Which is exactly what I was thinking.
>>
>>24399

I also imagine him saying "fuck that" and helping the girls reguardless.

Because nobody wants shipgirls feeling mis-treated, as this usually ends with either dead people or ship-girls defecting.
>>
>>24287
No, this is a Russian base we
re basically hitting.

If we confined the destruction to only the station and it's immediate surroundings, then the Russians might let it slide. They'd get pissy and insist the were about to do so themselves, but no one would go to war and no nukes would go missing.

Wanting a "dungeon crawl" went out the window when RFV was potentially outed as operating from a Russian boat graveyard next to a bunch of Russian Boomers.

Great. Nuclear Shipgirl Alma confirmed. Not like I needed to sleep again.

I think he meant not responding to calm, rational arguments in favor of insulting posts. Which is a frustration thing for someone who wants to discuss things without it being a shitpost off.

When you repeatedly ignore the same sorts of long arguments, and only reply to personal attacks, it gets somewhat offputting. If you have time to respond to a personal attack you have time to respond to a point.

I know man, but still..Horrible, and even if nothing happened we have a better chance understanding the Mi-Go than him.
>>
>>24399
I've gotta ask, who is stupid enough to abuse the avatars of multi thousand ton armored war machines?

Even if there's just the one and its a destroyer or minesweeper or something, it's still gonna take a tank company to put down at a minimum if it takes issue with your treatment of it.

There's a good reason our shipgirls get what they want within reason, and its not just out of the goodness of our hearts.
>>
>>24427
Ottoman subs were shit because the guy who sold it to them intentionally made it that way
>>
>>24399
My thoughts as well. So this would be off book, which means sneaky, which means submarines. Good thing we have some of those.

My bigger concern is that regardless of whether it's the Russians or the Abyssals, what about the bases in the Baltic like Murmansk? There's a lot of dying ships there too.
>>
>>24415
The guy who made this board was dumb enough to think that only letting the OP post images was a good idea.
>>
>>24437
At the very least we can probably assume that with the whole Abyssal situation most of their fleet that was sitting around in port doing nothing is probably out at sea doing things

Here's what we need to ask ourselves- Why WOULD they click on /qst/? What would draw them to come here? There's practically no exposure to quests outside of /tg/ at the moment. Why would people go to a board that doesn't interest them? Would you go to /po/ or /n/ if you didn't already have an interest in those topics?
>>
>>24404
Yeah, instead you only replied to the ones that were mean.
You ignored actual arguments and instead took the time to reply to shitposts.

I give you the benefit of the doubt and you act like I've stabbed you in the back with a giant flaming dildo

>>24424
Not a chance. If this isn't RFV and is instead the result of Russians mistreating their ship-girls, it needs to be stopped no matter what. The Russians could be creating a threat to the whole fucking human species.
>>
>>24480
Not a great move on their part of it is. They're sitting next door to the world's largest military which, due to its shitty naval and air transport, has literally nothing to do in a sea war.

The Mi-Go are highly logical. To extremes, even. Alzis though...

If planefag wasn't responding I'd be ignoring them, but it's hard when the QM stirs the pot while the quest is still running.
>>
>>24485
Short version: they cut corners on design, construction and maintenance since pretty much the beginning of the age of sail. The conditions on their ships has been appalling since the 17th century. One of their admirals commented a few years ago he was afraid the reactors of half the nuclear surface ships would fall out through their rusty bottoms. In short: they suck.

On the staff side, they needed John Paul Jones to run their navy after the American Revolution and made him an admiral, despite the fact that he'd only commanded a privateer. Then they decided every ship got two capitains under the Soviets, one that answered to the military and the other the communist party. Chaos ensued.

Russian naval history is pretty much a steaming pile of shit, so
I can't imagine their shipgirls would be very happy to be back. Might explain Hibiki coming back as IJN.
>>
>>24551
Wasn't your greentexting, it was his when he thought you were telling him to stop being sarcastic
>>
>>24424
Also, none of the higher ups so far as I'm aware has any clue about that. From what I gather, they don't see people when they look at shipgirls and shipboys, they see ships. To be treated as such, which isn't a fun analogue when you consider some of the things we do to ships.

This is compounded by how poorly the Russian Navy has historically been treated. That image some threads back about the general fuck-ups that occurred BEFORE Tsushima are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the Russian Navy.
>>
>>24545
We're /tg/, we cannot not bitch about what we don't like.
>>
>>24242
Every quest I've read past the very first one I found through suptg. If the concept is solid and it has a few votes I'll give it a read. Hell, just followed the QM running that blade-whatever quest cause I saw it archived.

Not only have I given them longer replies than they deserved - considering I was trying to write the damn quest - this is exactly what my fucking ask.fm is for. And I've made multiple posts on there, hitting the character limit several times: http://ask.fm/planefag>>24529

>He'll ignore the point even then. He always does when he gets pressed.

One nice thing about the postIDs is, it makes it easy to see how many posts come from one, single, salty cuntwaffle. This, right here, is one reason I think ~certain people~ wanted to make this board - those people have paid a visit to KCQ threads before to delete your posts and hopefully give you a well-earned vacation before. With post IDs dragging you out into the light, I guess they hope you'll just evaporate like trolls ought.

... are you actually fucking serious?
>>
>>24087
"Capable" and "arsed to do so" are two very, very different things.

Let's put it this way: I've never heard of any non-fa/tg/uy ever hearing about this "quest thread" stuff and going over to /tg/ just to browse for quests that might strike their fancy. Pulled over to follow a particular quest, sure, but just looking for quests in general? Such a thing is unheard of.

Yeah, we don't have conclusive, hard data one way or the other. But when all the anecdotal evidence points uniformly in one direction, that does still tell you something. Frankly, I just can't say I see any rational basis for your optimism, only wishful thinking.

Those people are also the only ones who feel threatened by the formation of this board; because it would harm them judging from how they first found quests. Ergo they're the only ones with strong incentive to speak up. Dislike is a stronger emotion than like - if you like bananas, you can eat five, six, seven of them before you can't take any more.

Now, tell me - how much shit can you eat before you've had enough? Yeah. There is a confirmation bias at work, here.

Mate, I'm just salty that you can't stand and deliver ever. You just shitpost and meme your way around it. You think you're the only one pissed off?

You have never addressed the point myself and other have tried to make, despite the numerous times we've had to say it. Apparently you haven't even given them a read, as you've never answered them on your ask either. Yes, I've been on it. Yes, I've checked.

And now you're going to discount my arguments simply because I've made them, and you think that I've got a chip on my shoulder. I DO have a chip on my shoulder, but it's not this board: it's your behavior. I've argued with you several times before, and you never stand and deliver. Call it a character flaw.

Well well well. Everyone stand the fuck back, because we're gonna have us a showdown. That's right, ladies and gentlemen - KCQ is done for the night.

The M14 is bad. It in no way address the serious deficiencies in the design of the M1's operating rod and it weighs like fuck.

The A-10 is a waste of money to keep flying. It is only useful for operating in extremely permissive airspace and its role is better filled by a light turboprop COIN aircraft or converted trainer.

>The M14 is bad. It in no way address the serious deficiencies in the design of the M1's operating rod and it weighs like fuck.

I believe weight is overvalued as a metric for judging a primary weapon, especially when it is select-fire and chambered for a powerful cartridge. I disagree with your analysis of the M14s operating system as elucidated on my ask.fm.

>The A-10 is a waste of money to keep flying. It is only useful for operating in extremely permissive airspace and its role is better filled by a light turboprop COIN aircraft or converted trainer.

I agree with everything but the last part. The A-10 has reached the end of its useful service life, which is not surprising considering when it entered service. I believe the current debate is really about the role of Close Air Support, i.e. slow, low, cheap aircraft that operate very close to the targets they are attacking. Incidentally the Air Force is looking for a "true" A-10 replacement and attack choppers aren't going anywhere - and attack choppers need at least a semi-permissive environment (at *least* contested airspace and preferably air superiority) to operate in. I think I posted about this on my ask.fm too, you can see that for more details.

So the problem with this board is longevity. How long will the userbase be able to be at a level conducive to questing? In order to answer this question, we have to look at the problem with quests as a whole: Exposure.

Why does one start to read a quest? Quite simply, it's because they see something which catches their interest for some reason, and they head inside and check it out. This might be just because it has the word "Quest" in the title, but most likely not. If that were the case, the majority of the questing audience would jump into any quest they saw. Instead, it's only something relevant to their interests. When quests were on multiple boards, this was fairly easy to do. The people populating the board would see a quest about something they liked, as they wouldn't be on the board otherwise, and jumped in to check it out. If they liked it, they might check out other quests in the future. If not, they might not. Even if they did like it, they might not read any other quests. As it stands now, quests have been relegated to /tg/. That is why the vast majority of quests are /tg/ related rather than anime quests. Even so, you see anime quests every now and then, many which achieve a lot of acclaim, such as your quests or Decu's. That's because there is still a lot of people interested in anime on /tg/. This all gets thrown out the window if quests are relegated to /qst/.

You see, if quests are to be stuck here, they have no exposure whatsoever on other boards. Why would someone on /tg/ click on the link to /qst/ if they've never so much as HEARD of a quest, let alone seen one. While this is not much of a problem in the short term, it definitely becomes one as months and years past. People won't click on /qst/ "just because" in sufficient numbers to add to the userbase at a rate which exceeds those who drop out. They have no reason to. They don't even know what a quest is. Thus, /qst/, while it does have useful features, would be the inevitable death of questing as we know it.

Now before you say "muh anonkun" or "muh Touhou-project", take a moment to stop and think. Touhou-project has a larger fanbase to draw upon than just questers. Through there, people are, or were, exposed to quests. Anonkun is somewhat different, in that the vast majority of its userbase came from 4chan, because that's where they heard about it. Just take a look at the polls here - http://anonkun . com/stories/threads/how-did-you-come-here/MFgdEHgkJKkp5aPqt

So while /qst/ would not kill quests immediately, it would be the start of a slow decline which results from a lack of knowledge of quests. Because of that, they would have no reason to come here.

Okay, since I guess we're going this way I might as well join in.

The M14 is my combat primary rifle, and I love the SOB. Being able to hit something and put it down at more than 200 yards makes up for any additional weight in the gun and its ammo a worthwhile expense. The garand-style action means you can clean it and clear a jam without taking the entire thing apart. It's also tough and operates well in marginal conditions. I'm also not afraid I'm going to break it like a 16 or 4 platform which I'm terrified I'll bend something and it will either not go off or blow up in my face.

wew lad

Okay, since you already decided to go for the full shitshow let me ask you a question:
If you KNOW you're running a quest, why do you still take the time to engage with the shitposters but NOT the legitposters. And then you pull out the "I'm busy writing a quest" card, except you already invalidated that excuse because you already took the time off to shitpost.

Now, onto the subject of /qst/
The core argument here as I see it is that by moving quests off /tg/ and into a separate board it tremendously hurts discoverability.
For the established quest, where the readers can and will go looking for the quest wherever it's hosted, this means nothing.
For new quest, this is bad, because their potential readership has shrunk majorly.
For questing in general, this is a crippling blow, because there's absolutely zero incentive to visit /qst/, and quests are a niche idea at best. Moving the quests off /tg/ kills all the passerby traffic, which is vital to keep a community growing until it becomes self-sustaining (which quests aren't). Without people wandering in for other reasons and clicking on a quest out of curiosity the board will slowly die.
One can argue that big-name questers can attract viewership that will later check out other quests, but there's more than enough anecdotal evidence to point out that this is not true. I, for example, don't ever touch the /tg/ or /qst/ catalog or main page, I come in from the twitter link and close the tab once the quest's done.
It's fundamentally the same reason why street-facing stores are preferred over places deep inside from strip mall or whatever. I don't know the correct word in english.
Even if we're generous and say 10% of 1000 readers will visit the rest of the board, that's barely a fraction of the traffic needed to get keep the community going.

There's also the cost of the terrible start this board had. How many now have seen the /qst/ catalog, seen it full of shit, filed it as "not worth bothering" and will never come back?
>>
>>24820
Oh yeah, I've been gunning for you for YEARS. Nice paranoia. No, I've argued with you several times over the years, but I've never been out to get you. I generally agree with you.

Those are fair points, but I imagine you'd feel differently about what a rifle weighs if you ever had to do a loaded march with one.

>>
>>24935
>Even so, you see anime quests every now and then, many which achieve a lot of acclaim, such as your quests or Decu's.

I won't count Decu's in this conversation for two reasons. One, it's /tg/ as fuck (the endless Warhammer references, etc,) and two, as others have been saying with regards to me, a talented QM can attract an audience regardless of the subject matter. My own experience with YNQ argued the opposite of that, but Yume Nikki is also a far less popular IP than Madoka Magica. And "dark magical grill" stuff already had a strong foothold on /tg/ as you can see from the many threads on Magical Burst and such. So I don't think that's a very strong argument for the diversity of questing as it exists on /tg/.

>Now before you say "muh anonkun" or "muh Touhou-project", take a moment to stop and think. Touhou-project has a larger fanbase to draw upon than just questers.

That doesn't mean everyone interested in touhou is also interested in quests. There are people who like quests, and there are people who do not like quests - simply liking the subject matter, IMO, isn't enough. People have a lot of things competing for their time. Basically, it's an issue of content discovery - with the turnover on /tg/ you are unlikely to see the full gamut of currently running quests unless you lurk the catalog every day... and trying to trawl sup/tg/ isn't very easy; the format isn't designed for easy content discovery. On /qst/ threads will last a lot longer, meaning anyone clicking the catalog link will get an eyeful. I posit that quests will have an easier time picking up new blood from people already predisposed to reading quests than from just people vaguely interested in the subject matter. After all, "/tg/" encompasses a very broad category. As does "/a/." Slice of life moeshit is a far cry from sentai tetosterone is a far cry from generic harem anime, but that is all technically "/a/."

As for anon-kun, that is a case study in what /qst/ is trying to be - something porting over a large, pre-existing fanbase. And I think anon-kun demonstrated nicely that such a thing can work - anon-kuns problems have stemmed from poor management by the owner/operator and decisions that actively alienated his userbase. I have already discussed on my ask.fm possible solutions for the "advertising" problem; such as banning quest metathreads from /qst/ and allowing them on their topical boards (/a/, /tg/, etc.) This would keep /qst/ generals from suffering the /vg/ problem (endless circlejerk parties which tend to crop up in generals that are always, always on the board,) whilst maintaining lines of communication to our "roots" and still capturing the advantages of a devoted quest board.

Persecution melodrama is something he's very good at. Check out his ask at how he reacted to when he lost several other collaborator's to the quest. He went into this lovingly crafted spiel about how he felt BETRAYED by REAL FRIENDS. Of course, they left after he probably did multiple things to mine salt and he's self proclaimed to have done so to both his readers and fellow writers.

If Planefag actually tried interacting with people from a level other than lol i trol u, we'd still be getting story posts. Instead, he's asshurt, the thread's canceled, and he's shat in the bed his case for /qst/ lies in all at once. For a dude who is all about bantz he flies off the handle at the drop of a hat.

Akun has its own method of advertising and promoting quests, and, though them, QMs.
And, because they are persistent, you don't necessarily have to be active to bring in some readers.
There's also tags and little 'boards' where you can find specific things- yuri, smut, alien dildo beads, etc..

/qst/ has none of these things.
It's just segregating quests from other boards, where they potentially have subject matter to relate to and draw readership from.

>/qst/ has none of these things.

To this I would observe that /qst/ might well have these things if more people were interested in making /qst/ work, instead of finding reasons to shun it. And I have already made the point about metathreads on topical boards and quests on /qst/, which is as simple as a rules decision, which would be childishly easy to implement. Please respond to that argument before continuing further.
>>
>>25122
If you won't accept Decu and yours' as examples of anime-style quests that did well on /tg/, how about that harem bro quest that was up a while ago? It achieved a decent degree of acclaim without being strictly /tg/ content. And if you're searching for a reason why there aren't more /a/ style quests on /tg/, once again this goes back to exposure. Most QMs come from /tg/, and thus stick with /tg/ topics. As you just said yourself, a well written quest, regardless of subject matter, will succeed, provided it has proper exposure. Sadly, with /qst/ even having that won't be enough in several years time.

And from here on out you AGAIN ignore the entire point. People will NOT go onto /qst/ if they don't know what quests are. Why would they? People may be predisposed to like quests, but how will they find out what a quest is if they aren't exposed to it? In Touhou-Project's case, it draws upon the Touhou fanbase, and exposes them to quests, at which point they might decide they want to read quests.

And Anon-kun simply drags users from /tg/ whenever it's mentioned. It's how I got there in the first place. If people aren't learning about quests from somewhere, they'll never go to Anonkun. So Anonkun thrives off of /tg/'s success, by allowing a different creative environment. While yes, kas is a shitter and makes shitty decisions, it is still a place where smut quests are welcomed open heartedly and QMs don't have to do the difficult and draining /tg/-style running, all while providing better tools for writers, however stupid some of them may be.

That won't happen if /qst/ remains a thing. People will never see quests if they don't click on /qst/, and they won't click on /qst/ if they haven't seen a quest. It's a catch 22, which contributes to a declining userbase over time as fresh blood never arrives to replace those that leave. While the bleeding may be stymied by such measures as increased exposure within the questing community, the questing community itself will shrink.

And even allowing metathreads on the relevant boards isn't enough. If you see just a simple discussion thread about something, that probably isn't enough to make you take a look at whatever they're discussing. Besides, that'd probably be a once a week thing, as qtg proved that being up the entire time only leads to cancer, which means even less exposure for quests. I highly doubt that any amount of advertising on other boards would be able to sustain the questing community's population. Would you go to /qst/ if a banner ad told you to, or if once a week there was a thread about it? I know I wouldn't.

/qst/ cannot have discoverability tools like tagging without significant work from both code and community.
/qst/ cannot have promotion tools because threads are transient and anonimity means you can't link quests to authors.

That's the core problem here.

You, on the other hand, have still failed to meet the burden of proof - i.e. the first thing I discussed in this post. And I already replied in >>25164 to the issue of the "anecdotal evidence."

>If you KNOW you're running a quest, why do you still take the time to engage with the shitposters but NOT the legitposters.

Because the legitposters are repeating things I have already answered on my ask.fm? Multiple times? Plus, people tend to get annoyed when they are personally attacked. Are you suggesting it is my god-given duty to ignore my own feelings and labor to provide you free entertainment? Is that your argument?

>And then you pull out the "I'm busy writing a quest" card, except you already invalidated that excuse because you already took the time off to shitpost

>Last bit of bullshit from me: CMANO is garbage as a simulator because it vastly overrates hit probability (and often rate of fire/target switching) of interceptors and CIWS. No scenario truly stands.

I believe you may be working under obsolete assumptions. If you pit 1970s or 1980s tech at each other, interceptors are much, much less potent. It is no mistake that the next generation of anti-ship cruise missiles are much more sophisticated than their predecessors. This is not without historical precedent; weapons and defenses are always playing catch-up with one another. The evolution of guns vs. armor from the predread era to the post-dread era is a classic example.

>>24649
That's not how self-selection bias works. In order for the board to be a benefit to the questing community, it must at least preserve equal numbers of incoming participants. It needs to draw in quest-seekers in equal proportion to the number of lukewarm browsers who got drawn in by casual exposure. This means there needs to be a substantial untapped population of quest-seekers out there, such that the total overall populations of the two groups are about equal. Self-selection bias could skew such a population to make it look like one group is a small minority rather than about half of the total population, but that's not what we're seeing here. We're seeing no trace of the one group whatsoever.

Not to mention that now that the board is actually here, those who think it would be a boon to the questing community on 4chan have incentive to protest the calls for its removal, just as those who think it will stifle questing have incentive to protest its existence. There have been a few people doing so (most notably your esteemed self), but not one arguing by anything other than bald unsupported assertion that people get into questing by actively seeking out quests, wherever they may be. Anecdotal evidence may not be rigorous, reliable data, but it's still a damn sight better than totally unsupported assertion. Especially when the anecdotal evidence accords with basic known tendencies of human nature, while the unsupported assertion conflicts.

Is it reasonable to *hope* that there might be a huge population of quest-seekers out there, at least equal to the population of casual browsers, such that /qst/ could maintain a healthy community? Sure; the evidence isn't conclusive, so there's always room for hope. But it's not rational to hold that hope as at all likely to actually pan out.

Anon-kun, /thp/, SB, SV, all their quest communities are niche.

Metathreads wouldn't work because the fundamental element that makes or breaks the decision to stay in a quest thread is the STORY ITSELF.
Nobody will wander into /tg/, find a metathread full of shitposting and conversation about a topic he's not privy to, and have their curiosity and/or interest piqued.

>Because the legitposters are repeating things I have already answered on my ask.fm? Multiple times? Plus, people tend to get annoyed when they are personally attacked. Are you suggesting it is my god-given duty to ignore my own feelings and labor to provide you free entertainment? Is that your argument?
My argument is that you lack self-control. It's not MY demand for free entertainment. It's YOU that bring out "I'm busy writing a quest" when you want to dodge out of the conversation after you've already taken the bait. You care enough to be pissy when you can't write your quest yet can't resist wasting time and effort replying to shitposters instead of doing the thing you keep claiming you want to do. Apply some discipline.

>I gave you exactly what you wanted; I stopped the quest to give the "legitposters" my complete and undivided attention, and you're not happy? You can't have it both ways, anon!
Way to false dichotomy.
I didn't want that. I wanted you to shut up, be an adult, and continue the fucking quest. Check my post IDs if you don't believe me, I didn't started effortposting until you called a halt.

>In order for the board to be a benefit to the questing community, it must at least preserve equal numbers of incoming participants. It needs to draw in quest-seekers in equal proportion to the number of lukewarm browsers who got drawn in by casual exposure.

How do you figure? Is this because most readers only read one quest, so readership must by necessity be a zero-sum game? If someone starts reading my quest, does that necessarily mean someone else had to *lose* a reader? Have you considered how many quest readers we effectively *lose* when their "entry" quest ends or dies, and they are unable to easily discover more quests that hold their attention? Have you considered that we could work with less influx, if we reduced the outflow?

>Not to mention that now that the board is actually here, those who think it would be a boon to the questing community on 4chan have incentive to protest the calls for its removal, just as those who think it will stifle questing have incentive to protest its existence.

THIS is exactly what I was talking about when I said "confirmation bias." Perhaps I misused the term and you thought I was making a more formal argument, or something. To re-iterate my colorful analogy; dislike is a stronger emotion than like. Even if you like bananas, you have a limit on how many you can eat - five, six, maybe seven. But how much shit can you eat? Pick a food you really detest. How much of that can you eat? The point being that the people who view /qst/ as a negative are far, far, FAR more motivated to speak out than those who view it as a positive. And then there are chilling effects to consider. For instance, I support /qst/ and LOOK WHERE IT GOT ME.

>Anecdotal evidence may not be rigorous, reliable data, but it's still a damn sight better than totally unsupported assertion.

No, it's not. To be blunt, your sample sizes are not statistically significant when compared with the number of people who post in quests. Except we're not even sure how many people DO. But I'm willing to bet it's more than a dozen or so. Anecdotal evidence is the antithesis of "data." Without context, it means nothing.

>But it's not rational to hold that hope as at all likely to actually pan out.

That’s dropping from 126lb to 115lb, in American. Kongō’s not the tallest or curviest shipgirl on-base, either, so the Jiggle Physics Pacakge aside, she must be pretty damn fit, if not as ripped as some bikini-pics portray Tenryū.

People don't trust the mods. People especially don't trust the mods to show up 6 months from now and admit they're wrong, then remove a board and shove quests back onto /tg/, but 6 months is about how long we'd need to see how being relegated to a new board really affects quest growth.

That's my big fear; that two weeks from now the mods declare the experiment is "finished", the board is now permanent and every quest is sent here, with zero intention of ever revisiting that decision. I think that fear is shared with many of the people who hate and revile this board.

>Anon-kun, /thp/, SB, SV, all their quest communities are niche.

They have also existed for a long while, either segregated to their own boards on their respective forums - or segregated onto their own SITE - and they have been going pretty strong for years. Your argument is effectively that quests are too niche to live on their own board, even if it's on the same website, but you just listed several examples that HAVE survived despite that exact same segregation. That is the point I am trying to make, here.

>My argument is that you lack self-control.

I'll be blunt - I'll take your advice on self-control once you have written... let's see, what was it? AWiY, then SWQ, then Alice. I added all those up once, plus a few other short stories/side stories and it came to about 1,000 pages. Since then I've written - lemme check - 878 pages for KCQ so far, not counting my sidestories for MGNQ, the pages added to Alice story since then, and other various sundry short stuff I won't even bother to add up right now. So let's say 1,800 pages of fiction, to round it off. How many pages is the average novel? Gee, I dunno. But I'm willing to bet I've written at least a few novels worth of writing. I've been writing a LOT. For a WHILE. I've written more than most people write in their whole goddamned life.

So forgive me if I tell you that I don't really care about your opinions vis a vis self-control. When you've put in the labor I have, and whethered the shitposts for years on end, you can fucking mouth off. To say nothing of all the nights where I don't take the bait (for which I get no credit) only to have sycophant fucks like you jump on my case when my patience finally runs out.

I think comparing a board on 4chan with a board on a regular forum isn't fair. Most forum boards see a lot more crossover than the average 4chan board. This is especially true on sites like THP, MSPA, SB and SV, fanfiction sites where the step between the focus of the sites (fanfiction) and fanfiction quests is miniscule. Anonkun is the only counter-example, and it is unique in that it is heavily reliant on other quest sites (mostly 4chan) for its players. If smut were allowed on /qst/ or /tg/, I think Akun would have trouble surviving, even with its improved QM features.
>>
>>25327

>And even allowing metathreads on the relevant boards isn't enough. If you see just a simple discussion thread about something, that probably isn't enough to make you take a look at whatever they're discussing.

And just how the hell do you figure? Do you really think a single OP image and a title "STRIKE WITCHES QUEST" will be more effective than seeing people animatedly talking about this or that nifty development in the quest? If you don't know anything about the anime, you won't know what the fuck that means. If you see people talking about it, you will see them mentioning things that matter, things that define the quest - Hellcow, shenanigans, etc. More importantly you have an open forum to just straight up ask people in there what it's all about, and get a real quick read on if you'd be interested or not. Lowering barriers to entry here is crucial - even if they "see" the quest, and click on it, they're now dumped into the middle of it. If you clicked on KCQ during a battle, you'd think it was over the top grimderp action with melodramatic EMOOOOSHUNZ in the middle. Click on it during a thread about Kongou and you'd think it's a slice-of-life animu. Either way, you're not getting a fraction of the full picture, and people are highly unlikely to hunt down other threads in the archive and skim THEM too to make up their mind - they'll just reject it out of hand, right there.

This is, of course, entirely aside from the issue of your implicit assumption that it's more important to keep new readers coming in than to keep old readers finding new quests that they like. But this is what it all revolves around. We have our own board made, now. We have the attention of those who can make things happen. This is the time to be exploring our options here. For the sake of keeping this argument from becoming to spaghetti to keep track of, let's limit this conversation for the next few exchanges with the implicit assumption that we want to keep new blood flowing in. Neither of us have the data to judge how important it is, or isn't, or how improving retention can counterbalance it, but I think it's safe to say either way that bringing people IN is good no matter what. So let's focus on that, that sound good to you?

> Besides, that'd probably be a once a week thing, as qtg proved that being up the entire time only leads to cancer, which means even less exposure for quests.

That's heavily counterbalanced by the greatly increased traffic (and incidences of quest threads running) on weekends, I would argue.

Anon-kun promotes itself. Honestly it's the one I know the least about so I'll withdraw it from my points.
SB and SV has heavy cross-pollination from fanfic. SV has actual advertising, and stuff like signatures, poster fame and inter-poster communication features serve as subtler forms of advertisement.

But the core point is that it doesn't matter if a community can shamble on for years with the members it already has, it's still a failure without a regular influx of new blood to counter natural attrition.

You're treating this as an isolated incident, but the fact of the matter is you regularly take time off to shitpost right in the middle of the quest. I'm not the only one who's noted that you've been doing it more and more as time goes on. Some of the people who've pointed it out actually like you, so it's not like it's some salty anon making shit up.

I know. Touhou is actually a pretty niche fandom compared to most, in raw numbers - it sure can't compete with popular anime franchises, that's for damn sure. But most quests die without finishing, that's true on /tg/ as well. What you see on thp is a lot of small quests that have a few regular readers, and large, popular, well written ones that pull in a lot of readers, and many of those readers are one and the same. The community is small enough that you can get a feel for it after a while, and that has been my experience over there - people who read multiple quests.

>And just how the hell do you figure? Do you really think a single OP image and a title "STRIKE WITCHES QUEST" will be more effective than seeing people animatedly talking about this or that nifty development in the quest?
As a matter of fact, yes. I came into questing because MercCommand ran VMQ, because I loved Valkyria Chronicles. I would never have gone into qtg. I would probably have never looked into another quest. So I wouldn't give two shits what happened in qtg. I would never have even looked inside, precisely because a quest or quests would never have grabbed my interest. And if you've ever been inside qtg, or even whatever they call the current one, they aren't exactly shining examples of stellar reviewing organizations.

And if they DO see a quest which catches their interest, they will be more than happy to read through the archive to read it. If not, then they're probably not into the quest anyways. Once they read the quest, they might want to check out these metathreads, but not before. Once again, you have to ask yourself WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO LOOK AT IT ANYWAYS. Quite frankly, the majority of people who read quests never go into a qtg anyways. This puts aside the point that qtg is cancer, and that it only became somewhat less cancerous when it was limited to weekend threads. And remember, that's with all of the quests on the site to discuss. If you have a metathread on each board, they will have even less content to discuss, providing they're even allowed on that board in the first place. And still, even if we do the weekend only deal, is that sufficient exposure to get people into quests? Hell no.

People go into quests because a topic catches their imagination. Maybe afterwards it will be talked about and gain a certain reputation, but it still needs to draw in sufficient readers who will talk about it on other boards. In my opinion, highly unlikely. It relies on too many variables and the biggest of them all: anons not being shitters. In other words, not likely.

As for your quests' emotional whiplash, that doesn't particularly matter. I generally speaking dislike your LOLSORADUMB SOL sections, and enjoy the battles. However, having read most of SWQ I understood that you could write a compelling battle sequence, which is what kept me around.

And yes, it is of paramount importance that any quest board generates new users. If not, it would die an inevitable death years down the line. Why wouldn't it? A userbase which never expands will surely die, as the old guard slowly abandons it for other things. How can this not be true? So let's take this assumption that we want new blood flowing in.

How do we do so? Let's assume metathreads on other boards will be insufficient, or even banned, as is the more likely option. How do you propose that the readerbase is sustained?

By increasing the clicks of separation between quest and potential reader by one you've already raised the biggest possible barrier of entry.

>Do you really think a single OP image and a title "STRIKE WITCHES QUEST" will be more effective than seeing people animatedly talking about this or that nifty development in the quest?
Yes. Nobody likes to be part of the outgroup. And that's what you inherently are when you visit a metathread. You'll just ignore their jargon and move on with your life.
This is the exact same thing with 'secondaries' or those who became part of a fandom through fanfiction. It's not people talking about it on 4chan/reddit/etc that did it. It was access an interesting work that did it.

>If you don't know anything about the anime, you won't know what the fuck that means.
Good thing that one of the fundamental elements for a successful story is to be accessible even to the new reader!
A great many people have become part of a fandom through accessible fanfiction.

Like I said before, the element that makes or breaks the decision is the story itself. It should be the first thing the potential reader sees. The current setup allows for that.

>More importantly you have an open forum to just straight up ask people in there what it's all about, and get a real quick read on if you'd be interested or not. Lowering barriers to entry here is crucial - even if they "see" the quest, and click on it, they're now dumped into the middle of it.

You're talking about lowering barriers of entry and then ask the disinterested reader to take the time and effort to ASK QUESTIONS (btw it's hilarious you assume it wouldn't get a "lurk more faggot"). It doesn't matter if they don't get the full picture. You want emotional engagement. Then they can go to the archive link the sensible quester will always add to the OP and start from the beginning.

>Have you considered that we could work with less influx, if we reduced the outflow?
Well, that's exactly my point, really. Are people really going to stick around *just* to look for more quests, with absolutely nothing else on the board to hold their attention? (Especially given the inherently slower nature of the board, where there's less new stuff to see and thus less incentive to hang around and see what's there too often?) As I said earlier in the thread, have we ever heard of this sort of thing happening with /tg/ as the "foreign" questing board rather than /qst/? The only way I can see it working at all is if the "no meta/discussion threads on /qst/" rule gets a corollary of such threads being officially designated for whatever board is related to the quest -- and those threads don't simply coalesce into generals on their respective boards, which would simply iterate the same issue of "you won't see this unless you specifically go looking for quest stuff" in miniature.

Yeah, a whole community just for quests worked pretty well for THP, but THP has several things /qst/ doesn't: First, it's dedicated to a particular topic, preserving that binding factor of a common interest beyond simply the medium itself. Second, that topic happens to be one that runs heavily on fanworks, which lends itself well to a community that revolves around a particular style of fanwork. Finally, although an offshoot of 4chan inheriting many cultural aspects, it is nonetheless its own distinct site with its own distinct community, which adds a bit of "stickiness" that boards within 4chan, where users often roam about and pop in here or there as the fancy strikes them, don't have so much.

>Perhaps I misused the term
You did, and then committed confirmation bias yourself by completely glossing over my point about the sort of bias you're angling at being entirely insufficient to explain the total lack of contrary personal viewpoints vis-a-vis how people get into questing. Yes, I will concede your point that opponents of the board have *more* incentive to speak up; however, my point stands that there is still *some* incentive for proponents to speak up, and if they do in fact compose such a large proportion as they would need to be then we should still expect to see *some* sign of them, even with biasing factors skewing things otherwise.

>Anecdotal evidence is the antithesis of "data." Without context, it means nothing.
If I may be frank: Bull. Fucking. Shit. Be honest, how much of what anyone knows and believes is actually based on rigorous, statistically-validated empirical analysis? Precious little. Even within scientific fields, there's a great deal that's taken more on the reputation of the presenter or on how much sense the claim makes given established paradigms, rather than really digging into the statistical rigor behind it.

Yes, anecdotal evidence is far, far, far from conclusive. It's a very flawed measure of reality, compared to robust, statistically rigorous data sets. It's true, the plural of "anecdote" is not "data", and we do not in fact have any actual hard data on this topic. However, this does not mean that anecdotes are *nothing*. Most people handle most things in most parts of their lives based on, effectively, anecdotal evidence. It is not data, but it is still *evidence*. Even when dealing with population-based issues, where statistics are clearly the gold standard, personal anecdotes are still higher on the hierarchy of evidence than flat assertion. If you have anecdotes supporting A, and *absolutely nothing at all* supporting not-A, then it is perfectly reasonable to believe A, and not at all reasonable to believe not-A. Epistemology is more than just statistics.

>Who said I had high hopes for it? I'm arguing that we ought at least try the experiment, and observe the results. What is the harm in this?
The vehemence with which you oppose everyone who suggests the experiment may be doomed to failure certainly suggests you don't share their view. You haven't been saying "I don't think it'll work either, but let's at least give it a shot"; you've been all-in for it.

As to the harm in trying the experiment, you've already noted it yourself: The risk that this "experiment" may not truly be so neutral. And it's not like this fear is unfounded, given that the idea of a dedicated quest board has overwhelmingly been the hobby horse of the anti-quest crowd, not something questfags themselves generally wanted, and the original proposed model showed the management in charge of this was vastly out of touch with what questfags want.

You're damn right I was there. I don't hate you for having an opinion, I hate it when you hold the wrong opinion, bring up completely bullshit "evidence" to support it, and then run away instead of facing the music. You thinking the fortifications were obsolete simply because of the lack of artillery guns in them is utter fallacious, considering the amount of time it took to clear them. If the fortifications DIDN'T work, wouldn't the Allies have simply bypassed and encircled the Hurtgen as they did the Ruhr Pocket? Does the fact that it took Third Army FOUR MONTHS to clear the Metz region mean nothing to you? Yes, the Hurtgen was a bloodbath and excellent defensive positions. However, that does not mean the fortifications were useless. I honestly can't understand why you can't comprehend this. If the fortifications hadn't worked, why was the Third Army stopped for four entire months? Lack of supplies does not account for that length of time.

Once again, please read about the engagements. Maybe if you actually learn a thing or two about how difficult the fighting was you'll change your mind.

And yes, these bunkers did hold up to all sorts of hits and near misses from all sorts of artillery and airpower. And did so for four months. They had to resort to firing 155mm self-propelled guns over open sights to knock out the bunkers. Obsolete my ass.

Yes, it's far more important to widen the viewerbase. People move on, get tired, get bored, get sick, get kids, literally die. Attrition is inevitable.

>As a matter of fact, yes. I came into questing because MercCommand ran VMQ, because I loved Valkyria Chronicles. I would never have gone into qtg. I would probably have never looked into another quest. So I wouldn't give two shits what happened in qtg. I would never have even looked inside, precisely because a quest or quests would never have grabbed my interest. And if you've ever been inside qtg, or even whatever they call the current one, they aren't exactly shining examples of stellar reviewing organizations.

I'm quite familiar with /qtg/. I've had my run-ins with them before. As for your anecdotal evidence, it's just that - anecdotal. It's very nice that it worked that way for you, but you cannot expect me to take that as compelling evidence that it works that way for everyone.

>And if they DO see a quest which catches their interest, they will be more than happy to read through the archive to read it.

It must catch their interest first, anon. Something *in that thread* has to catch their attention.

>Once again, you have to ask yourself WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO LOOK AT IT ANYWAYS.

Why would anyone want to look at a quest thread, anyway? You're arguing for direct exposure to quests, to what a quest "is." I'm saying that a single discussion thread - QUEST THREADS GENERAL - can be effective in exposing a casual browser to a whole bunch of ongoing threads and stories in general. You are arguing that a single OP image and a name (something something QUEST) is more effective. You must weigh this against: 1. the limited number of quests actually up on the /tg/ catalog at any given time, 2. the fact that only a subset of them are likely to appeal to any random /tg/ browser and 3. the fact that the quest thread itself will be "in media res," not making an active effort to sell itself.

>People go into quests because a topic catches their imagination.

I contend that this is a rather bold descriptor for a picture of an animu grill with plane-legs and a three-word title, anon.

>And yes, it is of paramount importance that any quest board generates new users. If not, it would die an inevitable death years down the line. Why wouldn't it?

It's an issue of influx versus outflux. I'm arguing that we might not need a massive and never-ending flow of new potentials with low potential to pick up a quest per person, if we instead focused on a smaller pool of people with much greater potential to pick up and read a quest. You reduce the accessible pool but increase the effective readership by targeting people more likely to read quests at all; which I think is a more narrow restriction than liking content matter. People who like stories like stories; and no matter the setting or the specific conventions and tropes, all stories have to follow certain tried-and-true conventions, or invert them, but in all cases they must work WITH them. I find this to be the strongest common denominator.

Okay here is the opinion of someone who only reads quests. I do not give a fucking shit where they are run. I could not give two shits if it is here, another board, another chan, IRC, or done over carrier pigeon, and I get interested in quests by hearing people talk about them which can be done anywhere on the internet, if I hear talk of a quest, I will read it wherever it is. I found many of the quests I read by searching suptg to be honest, but where it is run, how it is run, when it is run is meaningless if the QM is provoked into stopping the quest or it gets filled with shitposting. I started doing ctrl+f and searching out QM trips so I could read only the quest because of the sheer amount of shitposting that tends to happen between the content I came here to read.

I don't blame Planefag for finally getting fed up and pandering to whatever salty neckbeard started this, hell if I was poked constantly while I was doing something I'd snap too, and you know what if the mods are taking suggestions and reading this? Add in a function to ignore a poster by ID. So that people heckling the QM or generally trying to be disruptive can be easily ignored with one click by everyone reading and the QM should they choose. If the mods add that to /qst/ then holy fuck a plus in it's favor.

>>26223

For all the fancy words pal, you are still, in essence, asking me to accept that a bunch of shrieking grognards construes a valid argument. Let me point out - AGAIN - why I do not find this slim anecdotal evidence terribly convincing on its own merits:

>As to the harm in trying the experiment, you've already noted it yourself: The risk that this "experiment" may not truly be so neutral. And it's not like this fear is unfounded, given that the idea of a dedicated quest board has overwhelmingly been the hobby horse of the anti-quest crowd

Here's my big sticking point. Most of the opponents are operating with the idea that management has made this board with malice aforethought - even though they don't have a single fucking shred of evidence to back that up, or to demonstrate that they have any real insight into what the poor bastard was thinking when he sat down to make this board. The very fact that he is "out of touch" with /tg/ board culture might also be construed to mean he doesn't really know about the anti-quest people at all, much less the pro-quest ones. This entire assumption is a huge one, and one I challenge on its very own merits. No, "ah bloo bloo once upon a time nazimod was a thing" is not a compelling argument. Nazimod's ass is gone. We rebelled as a board to evict the SOB. I doubt he could come back after a shitstorm that big.

Until someone else speaks up saying that it worked differently for them, the only rational perspective is to conclude that this is probably how it works. If you know ducks only say "quack", and everybody you know has only ever heard ducks say "quack", and you've never ever even once heard anyone claim to have heard a duck produce intelligible speech, the fact that you only have anecdotal evidence that ducks can't talk does no rational basis to believe that there's a substantial possibility ducks can talk.

I disagree completely. A single pantless anime girl isn't much to catch someone's eyes, sure.

It'd probably be good for people who are already interested in quests, but those people could just use the catalog here.

Neither has /tg/, and part of the worry is that removing quests from it would cause a smaller repeat of what Nazimod did and leave /tg/ even worse off.

Everyone, take a good look at this sentence, and realize that he is incapable of understanding what he just said, here. Nonetheless, I will explain. You, sir, believe that your opinion is implicitly correct, and that mine is implicitly wrong. The idea that you might, in fact, be in error does not occur to you, so instead of approaching me in a calmer, more reasoned fashion which might work to persuade me, you go in guns blazing telling me how fucking stupid I am. Then you proceed to get angrier and angrier when I fail to find your argument style compelling or convincing. That's the /k/ thread, as I remember it.

>>26250

They were.

>>26250
>However, that does not mean the fortifications were useless.

I never said they were. But they were a hell of a lot less useful than bunkers with tank-killing guns in them, because if they'd had those:

>>26250
>They had to resort to firing 155mm self-propelled guns over open sights to knock out the bunkers.

They NEVER would've gotten away with this. They would've lost at least a few tanks per bunker until one could get a shot into the firing slit. I've played this out in the best simulators there are - a single gun in a bunker is a force multiplier. A bunker with just machine-guns is just a roadblock that lasts only as long as it takes for a 105mm Sherman to roll up and blast it, a bit longer if you drop arty on the nearby terrain to take out any lurking AT guns.

> If the fortifications DIDN'T work, wouldn't the Allies have simply bypassed and encircled the Hurtgen as they did the Ruhr Pocket?

Gee, maybe they made a mistake!

Anecdotal evidence works in the lack of other evidence. You're basing your opinions on absolutely NOTHING, and telling me that it's worth equally much as what I and many others have experienced. In other words, absolute and complete bullshit.

>It must catch their interest first, anon. Something *in that thread* has to catch their attention.
And what catches their interest? For me, as a quest reader, it's the title, premise, and the writing ability of the author. And if something in the thread doesn't catch my interest? Then nothing said about it in some general thread I will never even look in will catch my interest. Why would I look in a metathread about something I don't care about? For some reason, you do not ask yourself this question, assuming that people will look in these threads and think "man, that sounds cool", and read them, all without actually knowing what a quest is. Why would they? You have yet to make a compelling argument for this. And yes, I will say that it works because IT WORKED FOR ME. It's like you basing your opinions on things off of CMANO.

>I contend that this is a rather bold descriptor for a picture of an animu grill with plane-legs and a three-word title, anon.
I'd respond that a book is much the same way. Besides, the name Kant-o-Celle Quest with shipgirl pictures surely brought in a number of people, did it not?

>.

For this particular situation, when you stop to argue (whether memeing or effortposting) something that has no relevance to the quest.

>Really who the hell do you think you are, to lecture me on what I should and should not be doing on the Mongolian Finger Painting board?
I can't believe I have to repeat this yet again, but it's YOU who is invested enough to be annoyed when he can't run their quest or can't finish on time, yet by all appearances can't take the measures that would aid in finishing on time.

But let's go back to what I originally asked:
>why do you still take the time to engage with the shitposters but NOT the legitposters
You say you already replied the latter in ask.fm. Alright.
So if the concerns are addressed, then why still engage with other shitposters, people who just want to get a rise out of you.
You said it's entertainment. Alright, ok.
So the message I'm getting here is that your personal entertainment at the time of posting is a higher priority to you than your personal desire to see this story to its timeful completion, right?
If you say it is so then alright, I can accept it. It's a straight answer. I wanted to know why, after all.
Now I don't need to ask again, at least not from me.

>They were.
Then why did they stop Patton's attempts for four months? You're ignoring this point again. Typical of you. Stand and deliver.

>I never said they were.
You actually did. Multiple times.

And yes, if they had the guns they would have lasted for far longer than if they didn't. But here's the thing. The fortification already lasted for four months.

And here we go, you're basing your opinions off of anecdotal evidence FROM A FUCKING VIDEO GAME. And you have the gall to say that our anecdotal evidence about questing isn't reasonable and can't be used? That's hypocrisy of the highest order.

>Gee, maybe they made a mistake!
Look, mate. Patton tried for FOUR MONTHS to break through the Metz fortifications. This is Patton, going at full blast. And he was stuck there for fucking months. If they could simply have driven through the fortifications, they would have. The fact that you think otherwise shows a complete lack of knowledge of the event.

So yeah, how's that cognitive dissonance working?

>Most of the opponents are operating with the idea that management has made this board with malice aforethought - even though they don't have a single fucking shred of evidence to back that up, or to demonstrate that they have any real insight into what the poor bastard was thinking when he sat down to make this board.

Personally I agree with you. Assuming the mod is malicious instead of ignorant is paranoid. What I don't think is paranoid is doubting that the mod will care about this board a year or two from now. Hell, he might not even be part of the mod team anymore, given how much staff turnover 4chan has. That's my biggest sticking point; what do we have to go on that the mods will reverse this decision if it turns out for the worst in the long-term, rather than looking at it for the next month or two (at most), saying "good enough" and fucking off like they've done for almost every other board of this size?

Look man, you can argue all you want that the backlash is wildly overinflated. I'll grant you that, and freely. But that does not at all explain the *total* and *absolute* absence of any evidence at all that quest readership dynamics work any way other than how those upset over the separate board describe. There is literally more evidence for alien abductions than there is for people getting into questing because they went in search of quests, because at least *some* people out there (however trustworthy or not) actually claim to have been abducted by aliens!

And it's also worth noting that the fears hold whether or not the mods are in fact malicious. All that is necessary is that they be (1) incompetent, and (2) not primarily concerned with the good of the questing community. Malice aforethought is not necessary; the known facts could just as easily be explained by incompetence, and this could prove just as bad for questing:

>Anti-questfags bitch and moan incesseantly for a dedicated quest board
>Mods, with no understanding of quests and how they fit into the broader community, see this constant whinging and decide a new board is in order
>Mods, with no understanding of quests and how they fit into the broader community, don't know what to look for to judge if this experiment is working or not
>Ignorant mods prematurely/incorrectly declare the experiment a success, make the change permanent
>Questing languishes for Moot knows how long until someone finally manages to beat it into the management's head that this was a bad idea

If there's one thing we know for sure about the management, it's that they were definitely uninformed about this idea coming in. They also didn't really bother to check that this was actually what questfags wanted. They offered a token opportunity to give feedback on the idea, but that's all it was -- a token. The decision was already made, and preparations already well underway, well before they bothered to ask the questing community for feedback, and the window they offered for that feedback before going through with the plan was quite brief. Not even 6 hours? Yeah, they were responsive to feedback on the details, but they were clearly already determined on a "solution" nobody asked for to a "problem" that didn't exist. Whether that was due to malice or simply incompetence, it doesn't bode well.

>Anecdotal evidence works in the lack of other evidence. You're basing your opinions on absolutely NOTHING, and telling me that it's worth equally much as what I and many others have experienced.

I base my opinions on trends I have personally experienced on touhou-project.com, as I have described upthread; where most people follow multiple quests on the board. touhou-project isn't as big as /tg/ by a long shot, but I did have at least fifty to sixty active posters in my story threads, and a significant portion of the board viewed me as a filthy interloper from /tg/, so I most certainly did not speak for all of them. And of course, there is anon-kun (which does benefit from more comprehensive discovery tools. I believe this constitutes rather more than "nothing." You and I have exchanged words about the validity of touhou-project as a valid model for predicting behavior on 4chan, and that's well and good, but please do not tell me I'm just making shit up out of thin air, thank you. I've mentioned those precedents in this thread - multiple times - as well as on my ask.fm.

>And what catches their interest? For me, as a quest reader, it's the title, premise, and the writing ability of the author. And if something in the thread doesn't catch my interest? Then nothing said about it in some general thread I will never even look in will catch my interest.

This is the crux of it. Actually CLICKING on the damn thread to get in there and take a look in the first place. I posit that someone going "what the hell is a quest" and clicking the quest thread general - just ONCE - will expose them to a bunch of quests being discussed, even the very *concept* of a quest, and thus pique their interest. I contend that this has a better chance of drawing their eye to something that will actually hold their interest - more than them going "What the hell is Furry Yiff Quest?" and clicking on that.

>But how do you target them? The general thread system WILL NOT bring in sufficient numbers of people in any case.

What good is it if you don't retain them, though? I know I personally clicked on the "CYOA general" because I wanted to know what the hell a "CYOA" was, because it sure wasn't a quest. General curiosity drew me in.

>And you're trying to tell me this will bring in more people than a number of actual quests on the board, which people can actually see for themselves?

Yes - because, you see, I am arguing that liking *stories* is a stronger draw than liking *this or that specific flavoring or subject matter,* which means the word "quest" and a single curious click will stand a good chance of drawing them in - because people are clearly talking about some kind of interactive story. That'll be incentive to go see if any said stories appeal to them enough to like, upon which they click the /qst/ catalog and can pick and choose based on title and picture, like you say. (cont'd)

You can't deny that for a long time, THP was bleeding itself dry specifically because we were so niche.

That's the biggest fear I have for /qst/. It's too niche a board, and so the influx of new blood will be far slower than the outflow of people bored with current quests.

Over time, it'll lead to the same sort of stagnation that THP suffered.

And like I said, I'm confident that the actual execution of a quest thread general would drive people away from it. I guess I can't disagree that it'll at least put the concept of a quest into their head, but I don't see it as a useful fresh blood tool.

And they aren't 4chan.

And you're having multiple people telling you as such, but you still cling to a perspective which simply doesn't match the reality of the situation.

And I posit that it's completely wrong. WHY would someone want to click on a /qtg/? Please, explain this. You have failed to do so. Instead, someone could click on a quest which hits their interests- "Oh, a thread by the name of mech quest? With what looks to be original art as the thread pic? I like mechs, I wonder what this thread is about. Looks like it has a story in the OP, might be neat.". Tell me, which would interest the reader more?

>What good is it if you don't retain them, though?
Not all those who read a quest will want to read more, but if they are exposed to them some might. If their only exposure is some people shitposting in /qtg/, they're not going to have any interest in it.

>Yes - because, you see...
And I'm saying that this is bullshit. How is someone to even know what a quest IS if they aren't exposed to them. A /qtg/ is in no way a reasonable or compelling introduction to questing. Instead, it locks people behind several barriers. They have to look at the /qtg/, decide they want to know what's inside, read enough of the thread to stumble upon something which MIGHT interest them, then go to a different board, search for that thread, maybe come up with nothing, and then go to the archives if they found something they liked? Yeah, of course this will work. Never mind that anons are hardly the best at selling an idea. Never mind the fact that it sounds like shitty fanfics.

Negative space wedgies. A cold. Fuel shortages. Ammo shortages. Prioritization of men and materiel to other fronts. Bad weather. The hilly terrain itself that the Line was built upon. The need to clear every field and forest for hidden AT guns, as opposed to the much more open terrain of central France that allowed much more freedom of maneuver.

Sorry, fucko, you've got to dig up some evidence of your own if you want to make it stick. It doesn't just automagically resolve to "wow, must've been the Siegfried line!"

> The fortification already lasted for four months.

Prove it.

>And here we go, you're basing your opinions off of anecdotal evidence FROM A FUCKING VIDEO GAME.

You mean simulators? What do you think the Army uses to train its troops? I play IL-2, a fighter plane game. I bought a book to get better at it. It's called Shaw's Fighter Combat. It's a textbook issued to actual fighter pilots. Required reading. I had to read up on small arms/combined arms tactics just to play that goddamned simulator without getting my ass kicked. I bet you ten bucks I know more about small arms tactics than you do. Because if you had any actual experience in the military, you'd be citing it, instead of sniveling like a little fuck.

I made a precise argument about this on /blue/ once, where I suggested that maybe, just maybe, THP's problem was being a bunch of hostile fuckbirds to every newposter. When I first came to THP I attracted a few people from /tg/ who'd stumbled across it after hearing people on /tg/ talk about it. Thus, I was accused of bringing FILTHY /TG/ 4CHAN HORDES TO THE HOLY LAND (as I described above.) I think the outright clannish hostility of THP did more to chase away newcomers than anything else.

You literally just repeated what I just said. I.E. we disagree on the validity of touhou-project as a bellweather, or the extent of the conclusions we can draw from it vis a vis /tg/. That's fair.

This, however, is an appeal to the majority. You can fuck right off with that shit.

I will assume you just missed my follow-up post here: >>26624 in which I lay that out explicitly.

>If their only exposure is some people shitposting in /qtg/

/qtg/ is a hollow shade of its former self when it comes to shitposting. Plus, in the theoretical event of a permanent /qst/ it would be understood that the thread exists for self-promotion. Hell, people already announce their threads in the general already, and link to them. Their current state is not entirely representative.

>And I'm saying that this is bullshit. How is someone to even know what a quest IS if they aren't exposed to them.

How are people supposed to understand what a quest IS just by jumping in cold? Some namefag is posting a wall of boring ass text, a bunch of people are greentexting at him - the fuck is going on here? I don't see how this is necessarily more compelling than being introduced to the idea of interactive stories by people talking about stories, developments in stories, man wasn't that shitstorm something, etc. Unless they pop in at an opportune time, there's a lot they can miss. And it's quite likely for them to take one look, see it's about android waifus fisting golems, shrug and say "not my bag" and never look back. People can form broad impressions of an entire category of media based on one example - hell, how many adults in the West see comic books as anything but kiddie shit, these days?

>Never mind the fact that it sounds like shitty fanfics.

I can't, actually. I literally can not fathom the idea that general threads could sustain the board's populations. I can't accept that as a well thought out idea, because it's blatantly untrue, especially given my experience with /qtg/ and quests as a whole.

>Would you care to elaborate on that ad homenim attack, or can we stick to our erudite diction?
You're telling me that a single shitposting-filled thread on an unrelated board, which probably is only around once a week if that, will attract anywhere near the same number of readers than multiple quests already on the board. Saying that talking about the story is anywhere remotely near as effective shows a complete lack of perspective on the matter. You're telling me that people who like stories will be more likely to stumble into these threads and become a part of the community, which goes directly against what you've said about the quests themselves being on the board. It's hypocrisy.

>plain curiosity
Not enough, especially not for something as involved as quests. You'd better be able to write one hell of an OP every time and have it free of shitposting. It's unlikely to happen. I'm sorry, planefag, but it's just plain stupid.

I figured it out. I had assumed most people did it in a similar manner, given that I'd never heard of someone finding out about quests via QTG or something, but clearly your experience is vastly different from what I had assumed to be the norm.

This, I think, is why our argument seems so stupid to you, and why your argument seems so stupid to us. Most of us got into quests because we found a quest in something we liked, not because we liked the idea of quests and then found a quest we liked. I don't know how you found out about quests, but it has to have been a very different experience. Given that both arguments are basically wild speculation backed up with anecdotal evidence, I don't think it's possible for us to reconcile our differences, so I'm going to be bowing out of this thread.

Deme, I think you're a great guy, I love your writing, and I've been reading your quests for 3 years now. I say this as a friend, or at least as a fan: you're getting way too emotional and you need log off for a while.

Come back tomorrow. The thread will still be here, or you can just make a new one. There's no point in arguing, the trolls aren't going to listen to you, you're just making yourself upset.
>>
>>25513
I think you've got this guy all wrong PF. I think he's desperately in love with you. He's not 'deliberately' annoying you. He wants your love and affection so badly he can't see his own errors in pursuing you. I kind of feel sorry for him. Poor thing. It'll be okay Anon. One day you will love again. Its time to let PlaneFag go. Move on brave Anon. Live in The Now.

Also, fun run tonight PF! Thanks!

>I can't, actually. I literally can not fathom the idea that general threads could sustain the board's populations. I can't accept that as a well thought out idea, because it's blatantly untrue,

So despite your inability to prove jack fucking shit, aside from the argument that "a few neckbeards on my side is better than your case studies based on personal experience with entire fucking sites who face the exact same issues /qst/ would," you just can't get past your opinion being so much truthier than mine. Coolio, good to know I've been wasting my fucking time.

>You're telling me that a single shitposting-filled thread on an unrelated board, which probably is only around once a week if that, will attract anywhere near the same number of readers than multiple quests already on the board.

Number of clicks? No. Number of people who actually stick around to read? Yes. Especially when you consider that QMs will use the metathreads very differently if /qst/ is a thing. And ESPECIALLY when you consider that the number of people on /tg/ who actually post in quest threads is very low compared to the overall traffic on /tg/. Of all the clicks we get, a very few actually stick around to read and vote. I don't think it's unreasonable to suggest that maybe it would be more efficient to try targeting those posters specifically, with a metathread made to catch their eye, rather than taking a shotgun approach. Which we can do, you know. It doesn't just have to be "quest thread general."

>Not enough,
>I'm sorry, planefag, but it's just plain stupid.

I'm sorry but that's just your fucking opinion, with nothing else to back it up but "well, that's how I feel." You have no numbers, you have no evidence, you have NOTHING. Which I pointed out at the beginning of this argument, with the conclusion that the only thing to do is to try the experiment. And I pointed out that the argument *against* trying the experiment is rooted in neckbeard paranoia which is itself without any real basis or justification.

So, cool. No matter what I say, you think my opinion is fucking stupid. Well, that's cool. I think you're a fucking moron who mistakes his feelings and personal observations for universal truths so divine that anyone who doesn't agree with them must be blatantly insane. That's not an argument, anon - I'm not going all ad homenim on you. That is just my OPINION.

But, I ask you now - do you have satisfaction? Have I Stood and fucking Delivered to you? Have I directly and clearly engaged every one of your points with an argument of my own, even if you felt that argument was super total bad stupid triplewrong? ARE YOU FUCKING HAPPY NOW, ASSHOLE? YES OR NO, SIMPLE FUCKING QUESTION.

>>26721
And you're telling me that's it? Patton couldn't push through because of only that? Bullshit.

And by Metz I mean the Metz region, which is insanely fortified. Surrounding Metz were a great many fortifications, some of which dated back hundreds of years, all of which becoming a part of what is considered the Siegfried Line. Here, let me get a quote to illustrate the point. This is the attempt to take Fort Driant, built in 1902. It had 12 artillery guns in bunkers, and 3 more detached.

"On Septmber 27 Third Army had made its first attempt to take Driant... From dawn to 1415 hours, the Americans hit the fort with all the high explosives in their arsenal... [they] were cconfident that nothing could have survived.... At 1415 the infantry began to move in... to their astonishment... Germans rose up from pillboxes and opened fire. Shermans came forward to blast the pillboxes, but their shells hardly chipped or scarred the thick concrete. The infantry withdrew." (Citizen Soldiers 137). They tried this again and again, with increaseing amounts of preparation and forces, until on October 13, they pulled back. The assaulting elements took nearly 50% casualties, and they STILL didn't take the fort.

So yeah, that's fortifications not working for ya. That's supply problems and bad terrain. That's terrible weather.

>You mean simulators?
I mean video games. Even the best simulator in the world, of which there aren't many which cover ground combat, and none particularly well (Combat Mission comes closest), STILL doesn't get combat right. And yet, you still refuse to see any hypocrisy in using your anecdotal evidence from fucking Combat Mission as the basis your thought. How is this not considered hypocrisy?
>>
>>26693
>Lets say this quest board had existed back then and the fuck quest QM started his first thread there.
>Do you think it would hit 2000 replies in 7 hours by the 12ish thread?

Back when it started? No. Now? Yes, I think it'd have at least some chance of managing that. The questing community is big enough now, and when a legit phenomena hits, people start linking it on IRC fast. Hell, we have entire channels devoted to quests now, on Rizon. I think it'd stand a greater chance than you think.

>>26816

Oh, I'm sorry anon, did the world not revolve around you for five fucking minutes? Wait your turn.
>>
>>26461
>And what catches their interest? For me, as a quest reader, it's the title, premise, and the writing ability of the author.
Considering only the title will actually be visible from the catalogue, and MAYBE the premise if the title and image indicate an existing franchise (but not on any deep level), I don't really see how this point actually shows direct thread exposure is better than meta thread exposure for letting people know what quests are, or otherwise bringing people in. You're still a click and some scrolling away from finding out any of the actually important shit.

Also, hell, the intro post to a meta thread could literally be an explanation of what quests are, if introducing the concept is that important to getting new blood. That's something you could do, if it matters to you.

You need to actually compare the features meta thread exposure and quest thread exposure side by side if you want to say one is better than the other. You haven't adequately done that yet, it seems.

>>26836
Strawmanning is when you take an extreme version or interpretation of something (whether a position or an example in support of a position), claim that that's what the other person is referring to, and then argue against that extreme interpretation to claim what the person said was invalid.

Your point about THP is being called a strawman because it's an example of extreme retention issues, rather than the more moderate retention issues being assumed by the people you're arguing with for the purpose of deciding if improving retention is worth the assumed exposure tradeoff. Clarifying that yes, THP had really extreme elitism driving retention problems does NOT make it apply better to the evaluation of that assumed tradeoff, so yes, it actually is a strawman argument.
>>
>>26836
Yes you're overselling it. We've all been discussing with the assumption of "standard 4chan level of welcomeness" as the baseline.
Yes, retention is important, but like I said and you ignored, not actively rejecting new members is enough for that. /qst/, from what I've seen, already is "good enough" in that sense.
Yes, /qst/ will definitely die if it becomes an actively hostile shithole. But that's obvious.

Nah. Nah, you might be misreading it a bit. Just a bit. See, I've talked before on my ask about how all writers basically hate themselves. I've talked about how I take sadistic glee in poking my "critics" until they wind themselves up into a frenzy at my refusal to acknowledge their Legitimate Criticisms, because I know for sure and for certain they're just asspained waifufags, because I already level every possible criticism at myself. People so stupid that they can aim at a target as big as a writer's self-hate and miss are fucking *special.*

But these clowns here, they're a special case, a borderline case, where they sound juuust reasonable enough to make me think they might have a point somewhere, but they're such fucking douchebags about sneering at me about it that they sure do seem like retarded fucking trolls with a slightly firmer grasp of English. Tonight, forevermore, I sort out the wheat from the chaff, the hue from the hurr.

>This, however, is an appeal to the majority. You can fuck right off with that shit.
Oh, I'm sorry. Did I hurt your feelings? We are the people who matter. And when multiple people are saying the same thing, with the same perspective, you have to wonder if that's what the quest readers, you know, the people we're talking about here, actually know what works for them?

>How are people supposed to understand what a quest IS just by jumping in cold?
It's pretty fucking simple to figure out. Or are you telling me it's hard to see that the tripfag is posting a story and anons are voting on it? And even so, if they like what the tripfag is writing, maybe they'll stay a while. I sure as hell wouldn't listen to some random anons in a single thread once a week to go to some tiny-ass board and look at these shitty things.

>/qtg/ is a hollow shade of its former self...
The point still stands. Would I really get interested in what these people are saying and have to go through this entire process myself?

And they are shitty fanfics, but have the possibility of making readers like them if they read them, whereas just saying "they're shitty fanfics" will drive readers away.

You're reasoning is completely fucking alien to me. This isn't an exchange of ideas here, this is you speaking R'lyehian at me.

The average poster doesn't give a shit about IRC hoser. Some hardcore questfags getting hype about something and splurging about it on IRC is fucking microscopic compared to having FUCK quest pseudo-stickied until bump limit, hitting 800 posts before it falls off the FRONT PAGE on fucking /a/. Not to mention all the FUCK quest hype posting going on in completely unrelated threads even on days when FUCK quest wasn't going to run. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND how you think IRC word of mouth could pull in near as many participants as that.

That's a logical fallacy, shitfordicks. You haven't established that "the majority" actually holds that opinion, and you can't short of taking a fucking poll. Like, you know, a vote of some sort. Properly vetted against samefagging, of course. "More people are yelling on my side" does not prove that "more people actually agree with me." I can offer several reasons why the silent majority would stay silent, including not wanting to get fucking set upon by screeching autistics-

>>26571

- okay, no, fuckface, I'm not going to continue a fucking argument from /k/ when we don't even have the original thread to go off of. I'm not going to sit here and take the burden of proof on me because some autistic fuckface things I ought to. How about this, you're totally right about the Siegfried line, you're utterly right, you know everything about military history. There you go, you're all fucking set.

I also got some TTRPG goons into the story as well, to the point where one guy I play Steel Ocean with made his own system for it and made his other goon friend play a game of it.

He wrote Helena like the TF2 soldier, complete with quoting Sun Tzu technically correct but not actually understanding the point. Also she just disagrees about fire and thinks it is awesome, while Pensacola is thin skinned and tries to studiously ignore the whole "I am a person wtf" thing by getting drunk whenever he has to contemplate it.

ANSWER ME. I want to hear it from you, direct. Do you acknowledge that I stood here and answered every goddamned argument of yours with one of my own, point by fucking point? Multiple times?

Coolio, good to know I've been wasting my fucking time.
Good on you, mate, assuming your experience is worth more than the many other anons who agreed with me. Get over yourself. You are out of touch, and like I said earlier, are too arrogant to listen to what other people have to say. Your opinion is automatically better than anyone else's.

>Number of people who actually stick around to read? Yes.
Bullshit. Just the lesser exposure as a whole will guarantee that number is less. The percentage MIGHT be higher, which I most sincerely doubt, but you will not have the number of people sticking around. And it's all predicated on the metathread getting their attention, which is unlikely in the first place. What about the metathread will attract them? Just simple curiosity? What will the metathread say that will hook their interest? Just how many will see the metathread and then find a quest they like? I'm sorry, but the "shotgun approach" as you call it is DIRECT EXPOSURE, also known as the most surefire way for someone to find out if they like it or not.

> And I pointed out that the argument *against* trying the experiment is rooted in neckbeard paranoia which is itself without any real basis or justification.
Bullshit. The only way this could reasonably work out in a satisfactory manner would kill questing due to a lack of fresh blood. So regardless of intent, we have to face the realities here. They made the board. If they force this, quests are done for, due to lack of new blood. Any attempts at stemming the bleeding wouldn't solve the root issue. I do not believe that your proposed policy would be able to counteract that and sustain /qst/.

And yes, you have stood and delivered.
>>
>>27090
>Just ballpark for me how many /a/ particpants you think are on irc,

You realize Rizon is a massive fucking network and it's mostly populated by fucking weebs, right? Join #SWQ, ask for the "guy who is a Rizon ircOP." He ought to be able to give you more info than I. But considering that /a/ is fucking /a/, and that Rizon is fucking Rizon - i.e. both are fucking stuffed full of weebs - I think chances are good it could percolate pretty fucking fast.

Mind you, I don't really think something like what Fuck Quest sounds like is what really represents questing's best - it doesn't sound like something that tells even a halfway decent story and revolves more around dank memeposting and shit - but hey, who am I to judge?

If you don't understand that you were being told to fuck off for trying to speak for other people, maybe you should go to bed and try again later when you're not tired as shit or something?

Nevermind that I'm pretty sure it's the people actually writing the free entertainment that matter, on the balance of things. If you're actually referring to just the people who have posted in support of your position and absolutely nobody else, I somehow doubt there's enough of that group for that assertion to be anything but laughable.

When talking about new blood, it's not about what worked for the people already here, it's about what will or will not work for the people who aren't here YET. You have data on the way things used to work but none on the way things might work in the future, and yet you're asserting that how well the old system worked is JUST AS CERTAIN as a potential new system failing, despite there being nowhere near as much evidence pinning down the latter. How exactly do you know that there aren't people who would be attracted by meta threads who WOULDN'T be attracted by direct thread exposure?

Well, here's a few data points for that: I find things mainly by recommendation. Fanfics through the favorites of authors I'm already following, discussion of fics in general, and yes, index threads on forums - or, in short, meta-threads. I found SWQ through recommendations like that, NOT through peeking inside random threads I didn't recognize at /tg/, and on balance it would have been more likely for me to have found it in the first place if there were meta threads there instead, because that's what has worked for ME. It's less time, less effort, with better and more consistent payoff.

Confirmation bias isn't just about not thinking about why you might be wrong, it's about not being acquainted with sources of information that contradict what you already believe. If anecdotes from existing 4chan questers is your main backing here, you're arguing from inside of a bubble.

I don't have stats on /a/ vs Rizon, but I AM right in three IRC channels splintered from forums.
Let's see...
One has 33 people. The other has 48, the other 58. It's 4.24am, but I know they peak at around 50, 70 and 70, respectively (lots of idlers).
Now how many members does each forum have.
Board 1: Currently 519 users online, 66 members and 453 guests. So around 10%.
Board 2: 1124 members, 1017 guests right now. ~3%
Board 3: 618 members, 394 guests. ~7%
Interestingly the channels for boards 2 and 3 (SB and SV) have lots of the same people, so this is not actually representative.
I could go to other communities and I'd probably see similar numbers. IIRC Kancolle Wiki chat has a couple dozen users at a time, tops.

But overall we can say that IRC is very very very far from being a driving force for readership and userbase activity in general.

I haven't head anyone come to your defense on the topic and multiple anons have agreed with me here. And if you want to turn this into only EVIDENCE BASED BATTLE, then you'll still fucking lose, because the only thing that can be PROVEN was the way it was on /tg/. That's it. All we have is your word versus mine and several others. Now, anons could say how they'd react to something or how they DID find questing in the first place, and you STILL wouldn't believe them, and instead believe your OWN anecdotal evidence, all the while telling anons that their evidence doesn't matter. Hypocrisy much?

>And you back this up with what credentials? Who the fuck are you to judge?
A guy who plays Combat Mission and CMANO. They're useful, but they aren't everything, like you make them out to be. And I can't stand for you using them as some sort of trump card. They aren't. They give you a bit of an idea of the way it was, but aren't close to perfect simulations by any means.

Seeing a raging asshole engage other raging assholes is always amusing.

To bad this will lost to time when this board fails due to self-fulfilling prophecies. Unless LL is a bro and transfers them to suptg

>And I'll continue to argue as if I believe I'm in a position of strength
You ever stop to think about why you attract these kinds of shitshows?

Fact of the matter is, /a/ is a relatively fast board with a lot of posters or lurkers. Having a thread on the front page non-stop until almost twice the bump limit is exposure far FAR beyond ANYTHING any amount of irc f/a/ggots could pull off, even assuming they EQUALED the unrelated hype posting in other threads.

>Mind you, I don't really think something like what Fuck Quest sounds like is what really represents questing's best - it doesn't sound like something that tells even a halfway decent story and revolves more around dank memeposting and shit - but hey, who am I to judge?
I don't think the self-depreciation stops this from being a bit of ad-hominem. "Questing's best" or not, FUCK quest was fun as fuck and crazy popular and even if ancient as fuck irc was as prolific as you think it is, if it was made today on this board instead of /a/ it would not take off near as much, it wouldn't be as fun for the participants and it wouldn't be any fun for the people that would only notice it on /a/. All so you can have your fancy [b]ullsh[i]t.

>Now, forevermore, when anyone tries to sneer at me for brushing off stupid fuckheads like this clown
I was far more exasperated that you WEREN'T brushing him off.
The only people that get mad at you for not engaging the shitposting are the shitposters themselves. The people who get mad at you for not engaging the Big Important Argument posters are themselves and some other folks who share their opinions or felt the need to share their own.
The rest of the 132 fucking IPs in this thread had no interest in either of them. Please don't forget that there's plenty of people who who aren't baying for your blood.

Funny, I thought the adage equated arguing with idiots to playing chess with pidgons would work better here. "they'll shit on the board and strut around like they've won."

>they're worried that a good faith attempt to try it out will be construed (or misrepresented) as endorsement or consent, resulting in Quests being expelled from Egypt to wander the wastes of /qst/ for forty years.
And it's a legitimate worry. Every other time a board has been closed on 4chan, reintegration into the board it was excised from in the first place (or a different board if it was a whole-cloth new board) has not occurred. The community dies.
That's why people are worried about /qst/ EVEN IF it works well for existing quests: if it is not big enough to stand on it's own as a board without being embedded in /tg/, then it dies and takes quests on 4chan with it.
And growth prospects aren't great. Unlike a general-interest board, quests are relatively unknown outside of 4chan (the handful of quest-dedicated sites sprung up FROM 4chan's quests, and receive comparatively low readership). e.g. if you have no interest in MLP because you've never heard of it, you're not going to bother visiting /pony/.
>>
>>27590
I'm honestly worried that they'll see this thread and say "Gee, look at all the traffic it got, /qst/ MUST be a rousing success."

I know I should probably have more faith in the mods but.... eh
>>
>>27613
I'm sure that the original rules that the manager came up with were when he looked at one of these threads, saw the rampant shitposting, and said "surely nobody wants this"

Thus the "only OP can post pictures" rule, poster IDs, and all that anti-shitposting guff.
>>
>>27584
I dunno, I think it was hilarious that a dude who seems to praise the concept of anonymity on an imageboard had that shit flung right back in his face. It's not a loss if the thread serves as an example for how wrong he is about the "value" of anonymity.

He even equated his posting to when he once punched a kid in grade school, and that solved eeeeeeeeeeeverything. You know, on an anonymous board where bans are frequently circumvented and nobody actually has to own up to trolling the shit out of him and will be free to do so again.
>>
>>27622
>were when he looked at one of these threads

The man had obviously never looked at a modern quest thread.
>>
>>27631
i dont come to a quest thread to fling fucking shit around though. If i wanted to decorate the walls brown i would go to /b/. Trolls trolling trolls trolling trolls is, has always been and will always be an "honored" pastime here on the chans. The fact the PF just gave in like that and ruined a thread for it, y'know one that i set aside my Saturday evening for i know it doesn't matter and no one give a fuck but fucking still make me sad and slightly angry.
>>
>>27631
To be honest, I feel that maybe these guys should take a nice lethal dose of ShutTheFuckUp-itol and leave.

Don't like /qst/? Don't like Demetrious('s?) Work?

DON'T COME HERE.

No one's forcing them to come here. No one says their puppies die if they don't watch "Wacky, better-than-the-cringe-worthy-shit-it's-based-on quest ver.3.0"

As the antiquated Verbage goes: if you've got nothing constructive to say, fellatiate yourself.
>>
>>27649
No, see, he's never READ a modern quest thread. He read the old ones, left for a while, came back and went "I wonder how quests have been doing?"
and then he saw SWQ/KCQ
>rampant shitposting
>the op doesn't draw pictures
>waifus
>waifufags
>arguments
>samefags
>writefaggotry
>cabals
>circlejerking
>tripfags

"I don't like this."

Then he made the board he thought would bring back the questing he knew and loved

YOU KNOW IT MAKES SENSE
>>
>>27684
I really wish it did inspire quests like there used to be. I really do miss those days. Sadly you cant even TRY to run something like that anymore. Because nowadays every quest requires Waifus, every quest requires writefaggots and the circlejerking that follows, every quest needs stock art. Etc, etc.
>>
>>26356
>You can go ahead and actually argue, in good faith, for why those metathreads would be insufficient.
Let's look at the metathreads on /a/ (or elsewhere) pointing interested parties towards quests on /tg/.
Oh, wait, there fucking aren't any.

Here's my arguament against "metathreads will drive posters from multiple boards to /qst/": metathreads have not driven posters from multiple boards to /tg/. Changing the prefix of the cross-board link will not have a noticeable effect on this.
>>
Wow, I've never seen anyone be this persistently and adamantly wrong before.

Talking about planefag, by the way.
>>
>>27693
it's over

you can stop now

he's already dead

wew lad

Deme/Planefag, if/when you read this: Please stop. Take a break. Stop trying to engage at every good goddamn level of discourse. Get a job, for Christ's sake.

Every fucking time I've read one of your threads, the story posts get further and further divided by shitflinging, from both Anons AND you. Stop taking the fucking bait, tally the goddamn results, and fucking do the scene.

YOU ARE NOT ALWAYS RIGHT. ANON IS NOT ALWAYS RIGHT. For someone who likes to pretend he's the top-fucking salt miner, you sure seem to be getting mined pretty heavily yourself.

Questing, and by it's very nature, creative writing, should be fun for both the writer and the reader. This shit that's been going on, you engaging the trolls/baiters/haters/what-have-yous, is not.

When I first started reading your stuff, I respected you, and your talent for writing. But as time went on, even though your writing improved, the story has been progressively watered down with effluent.

Please, stop with the 'salt-mining' and the lazy attempts of 'lol i trol u'. You'll be better off for it.

Take care, man.

People have said variations of this to him before. It never helps.

He has to see that this is a problem himself before he might consider actually taking the actions necessary.
>>
Hello, all you happy people. I'm back on. What's up
>>
>>27940


Which is a shame, as I sadly doubt he'll ever take the advice to heart.

Honestly, I probably would continue to follow his quests regardless of the board/host; but at this rate, I'm better off doing something else on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
>>
So is the thread dead, or is planetary going to post anything?
>>
>>28018
If he is, it won't be in this thread anymore.

The latter half of this thread is a profound waste of 2 MB on suptg.

Not having to experience it in real time eases the pain of falling asleep and missing a contested Essex vote and Crab antics. The cliffhanger was super cool, though.

Alright, time to actually clear up (at least partially) some of the mystery of "where do questfags come from". Don't votespam too hard now. you cunts will anyway. And since we're so late and people aren't likely to see this, please grab the link and hand it around to your friends and fellow questfags. I'm not going to post it to the /qst/ feedback thread personally, for fear of the anti-questers getting their hands on it, but any of you are free to do so yourselves.

Anyway, a good chunk of the people yelling earlier were saying that questfags literally only come from /tg/, and then ignored the people who said otherwise. Personally, I found SWQ through the fucking TvTropes fanfic recs page in 2013. And then, through Suptg, found all the other quests, THEN I started browsing /tg/. So that's just my personal story.

Nobody won here.

I did. I was much more entertained by planefag arguing with anons than the actual quest.

I'm a relative normal. I just want to see the quest move forward fluidly.

Think about all the loser anons doing the same thing

But because they arent in a position higher than you you dont care

Jesus Christ I think the only person who posted more than me was planefag himself and that's largely from the shitfest after he shut down the questing for the day
