Idea Pitches

Julian — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 06:04:19 GMT

Julian:

This is a page full of IDEAS for choose your own adventures that haven't been authored yet. Sometimes, you have a great idea, but you just can't finish its story, right? Post the idea or unfinished piece here and have it changed.

julian: i got this cool idea where you wake up on a space station with no memory and there doesnt seem to be any people around. The whole place is falling apart, and walls are collapsing and whatever. The ship was actually the last humans from earth, but we had to evacuate earth for some reason, but on the ship somehting went wrong and a bunch of people died. i dunno, just the beginning of an idea, but please give me some ideas if possible.

i also got this other idea, where instead of every option leading to entirely new stories and everything, you start off with a map of the area your going to choose your own adventureize and make every point where you can stand a new page. sort of like a point and click game, only with choose your own adventure. i left a more in depth explination in the discussion part, so look at that to. Also, if certain things in the game are kept track of by the player, on a peice of paper or something. For example, in the story "a knights tale" you could cut down the amount of work significantly by having player's stats kept on paper instead of each class leading to a new page, meaning you could expand much easier and faster.

Kawi: I've been thinking about making a story where you are an international mercenary and you get to choose an organisation to work for. I went as far to make a setting for this story.

This is it so far...

----

This story is set in the dystopian future of 2050. You are a mercenary, Jack Templar. You work for whoever pays the highest price. In such an unstable world, you are never short of work.

Here is a brief summary of Jack Templar world

North America- The former superpower was plunged into a second civil war during the 2030â��s. The North and the South are once again at each others throat. Neither side can gain superiority over the other.

Western Europe- Its people have the best standards of living. However, puppet democracies are really controlled by powerful aristocratic families and everyone is under 24 hour surveillance for their â��protectionâ��. Think George Orwellâ��s 1984

Eastern Europe- Individual warlords control the rural areas, and the conflict between them creates many atrocities. Meanwhile, its larger cities have become the red light district of the world as a result of the thriving sex slave trade.

Africa- Any hopes for harmony in Africa are all but destroyed. Old tribal tensions and civil unrest has plunged the continent into unimaginable bloodshed. As a result, most of the worldâ��s military contactors use it as a base of operations.

China and Japan- An uneasy truce exists between the worlds leading military and technological super powers. Their mutually beneficial arrangement makes them a force to be reckoned with. They are suspicious of all foreigners.

[[Jim's Barbeque]]- Prophets of the onset of the most delicious food this universe has ever seen, and fanatics in the ways of beef-fu. The leader is a figure cloaked in the shadowy fumes of teriyaki sauce, and noone has ever seen this wonderous man (or woman????).

South America- Most of the continent is controlled by a dictator. To the people, he is a benevolent revolutionary. Under the surface, he runs the biggest drug operation in the entire world. Resistance forces occupy most of the Amazon.

Russia- The old soviet power has long since shut its door on the rest of the world. Few know what goes on inside the country.

Middle East- Groups of all descriptions squabble over the last oil reserves. The longest wall ever built surrounds the state of Israel. Meanwhile, Palestinians have united and started an organised front against their old enemies.

Australia- An unknown epidemic swept the continent clean of any human habitation. There are many rumours that mutants occupy certain parts of the mainland.

----

Sorry. My imagination went a bit crazy.Any thoughts or feedback would be greatly appriciated.

---You've created a world. Not much else. There's no real plot to your idea, or supporting cast, or anything. These things could be forgivable, but your world isn't even that interesting. It's a world spawned by a few exaggerated cliches. North and south start fighting? Over what? Slaves? Japan and China enemies? Whoa how novel. Africa enveloped in civil war? But Europe is controlled by government? Incredible. It'd be more novel to make Africa the strongest united nation in the world, plunge Europe and America into poverty and civil war, then have China and Japan on the move to take over these disputed territories.

And Jack Templar? Might as well call him Buff McWarriorpants. Give him an ordinary name. In order to draw reader immersion and interest, in-fact, it would be best if you made this Jack some deadbeat nobody. One day he's enjoying his life somewhere in the word when it's suddenly usurped from him. He has to learn to survive in a hostile changing world. There, that's a basic idea for a story, one which is well suited for CHOYA. Thanks for enduring my critical comments.--[[User:Anubite|Anubite]] 11:29, 28 November 2008 (PST)

Jeffthedork: I've been thinking about a story were: 3 teens are dared to spend the night in a haunted house and they get attacked by gousts and they find secret rooms and stuff like that.

---Good idea. What name and what rating?

---Jeffthdork: Rating = R. Name = Fright.

Jeffthedork: I've go another idea: A haunted prison kills it's convicts and it's guards. You would be a guard and have to try to live. The prison would be able to turn on machines by its self and make unreal stuff happen like the back wall of a cell push the inmate in the cell against the cell door, slicing him into many pieces.

NovelOfDoom: Is this page public?I hope so,cause I'm not sure xD.I had an idea for a story that I couldn't finish.Your a average guy who has a wife and 2 kids.Then all of a sudden this dude calls,saying he has a expert sniper who has a lock on your family,and you gotta go through a bunch of obstacles(involving fighting numerous enimies) assigned by the guy,or else he'll order the sniper to take out your kids and wife.Sorry that was so long :P

Yes, this page is public. And that's not too long for an idea pitch. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 16:17, 24 August 2008 (PDT)

Jack Frost: That is a really good story idea. (how come I never think of these great story ideas?) Would you mind if I write that story? It sounds excellent. Its just the thing I need.

TheEverLastingTale:Are you talking to me?LOL I'm NovelOfDoom,but sadly,I completely forgot my password,so I ended up making another account,LOL.Jack Frost,I likey that name :D.If you were talking about me,I would be honored if you write that story :D(I'm just guessing that you've been on this site for a long while,LMAO.)

monkey76: how about a story where the laws of physics (or reason) don't apply, so the most sensable choice might not work eg: if you ask boss for a raise he explodes and if you kick him he'll give you the ocarina of time.
or is that a bad idea?

Jack Frost: If somebody ever writes that, I hope they put it in the "Nobody Should Read These" section. But, that does sound like it would be a good story. That also seems like a great idea for a story.

Trar: I need help writing my story, [[Would_You%2C_Could_You%2C_Fuck_A_Goat%3F!|Would You, Could You, Fuck A Goat?!]]. Every page has to have an option at the bottom of it leading to[[Die]], ALWAYS, no matter what. Also, the player will NEVER actually fuck a goat. That would be bad.

TheNeverEndingTale:This is getting annoying ><.I keep forgetting my password,so I ended up making yet ANOTHER account(I'm NovelOfDoom and TheEverLastingTale.) I have another idea.You live in (whatever country you want) where the President is reall corrupt,so you take it upon yourself to take him out.

TGLS:You are Joe Jones an unimportant Sales Representative on a Dystopian Earth in 2230 but times are changing.
The Nations are as follows:

â�¢ Allied States of America: The remaining states have allied each other together in order to weather the attacks of revolutionaries.
â�¢ Confederate States of America: After the economic collapse of 2184 in order maintain the industrial base of the former confederate states they readopted slavery and war was declared by the Allied States of America.
â�¢ Microsoft Computer Corporation: One of the only Non-Asian Corporations left Microsoft Computer Corporation declared Sovereignty in 2185 and negotiated a treaty with the Confederate States of America.
â�¢ The Obsessive Cult: The Obsessive Cult declared Sovereignty in 2084 at the same time as the 2834 nuclear reactor incident, and has put a xenophobic position of all the citizens.
â�¢ The European Union: The European Union has been put in instability because of pressure of the Soviet Union & the Ottoman Empire.
â�¢ The Soviet Union: Russia reinstated communism on the factors of the economic collapse, communist partyâ��s pressure, newly assimilated china, and the American Civil War.
â�¢ The Ottoman Empire: The Ottoman Empire was formed when the Turkish Ousted the American garrisons from major middle east oil resources in 2175 and later joined an alliance with the Soviet Union
â�¢ Africa: Africa was leading the world in stability, technology, and economy but after the 2834 nuclear reactor incident it was completely crippled though there may be some survivors.
â�¢ Others: Japan, South America, Australia

Early Plot Threads
Early Plot Threads could be:
â�¢ Trying to move up in your career
â�¢ Further Education
â�¢ Emigration
And later plot lines would be developed over time.

*''Redage1'': Hey all! Just wanted to say, The Life of a School Kid is online! It's public, but if you write a really dumb choice, I'll delete it. Also, if you write a section, please include (This section write by ---)And don't delete anyone else's work! thanks! http://editthis.info/Choose_Your_Own_Adventure/The_Life_of_a_School_Kid (Link to the story)

Reecer6: I have an idea. You are a kid named David who wakes up in a haunted mansion and must get out. it'll be slightly RPGish, as you'll gain Health, XP, ect. while facing creatures from spiders to Ginormous Screamer faces. He'll also have a fear meter. You'll want to keep it low to beat enemies easier, but keep it high to destroy cracked walls ect. There'll be 2 passages in most every room.

[[Category: System Pages]]

Reporko: i have two ideas....
one is where you are kicked out of your home by your girlfriend and are really depressed. you walk into an alley and discover you have secret powers.

The other one is where its like in post future like 2011 or 2015 or something and like the world is collapsing and people are surviving when the apocalypse and after. Tell me what you think.

:A little cliche, but maybe because you're just brushing the top of some even better ideas. Dig deeper! :) -[[User:NightChime|NightChime]] 14:38, 19 October 2009 (PDT)
==Olympian Quest==
Does anyone agree to this: This is about a quest that takes you to Mount Olympus and find a stolen trident that the greek god, Hades hid.--[[User:Greenlande23|Greenlande23]] 15:24, 4 June 2009 (PDT)

I see no reason to object to someone writing such a story. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 16:01, 4 June 2009 (PDT)

Seems like a good idea, in fact i think you should let it fly! --[[User:Megadeth1|Megadeth1]] 17:34 23 june 2009 (PDT)

==Fixing the red ring of death==
I had an idea to make a funny adventure of your x-box 360 geting the red ring of death, and you try to fix it. I just need to see if people think its a good idea.

Ring of Death eh? The old Ring of Death... well, I guess it wouldn't be really funny if you make it like, 'you restart your Xbox360. YOU WIN!' That would be lame. To me, a good story based on real life always has a kick-butt fighting scene, a huge plot twist, an evil wizard, Russia and it's 11 time zones, Shaka Zulu, and a Jamaican guy. So, if you include all of those, then yes, it would be an EPIC story, like mines. Play it here--> [[An Epic Adventure]] --[[Forsak3n1]] 16:33 August 6, 2009

==Castle II==
This is a scenario that I have done verbally, and want to put on here. It is a puzzle/rpg/type thing, with a plot and many different options. You explore a castle, trying to find the person who cursed your hometown. You encounter many dangers, monsters, conflicts, and other action-like things. Is this a good idea?
~[[User:Ebony949|Ebony949]] 14:32, 2 August 2009

It sounds like something with potential. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 08:11, 2 August 2009 (PDT)

==Badassery==
I'm new, so sorry if I edited this wrong. I'm just copying how other people are editing this. Basically my idea for the story is you start off normally. You're a man, kids, wife etc etc. Then out of NOWHERE, some guy tries to kill you! So you head off on a quest to try and find out who and why they tried to kill you. For fun, I will also put in some hidden random stuff in the story. Slipping in a internet meme, or a video game quote. The unique parts of the story(hence the title) will be the BADASS moments. Where the character will start off a combo(for lack of a better word), and you choose how to continue it. Some will advance the combo, and some will leave you flat on your face. I will try my hardest to put as much pages and effort into this story before summer vacation ends. Good idea?

==Comics Unrated==
Much like the Star Wars and Star Trek, adventures, you choose characters and have sex, fight, kill, curse, etc. Basically way to express the comic heroes as if they were more like people and not heroes. There would be a set story for each hero. I even thought at the beginning you must choose DC or Marvel, and then it starts. I think a lot of people would like this.

~[[User:Carmenlover|Carmenlover]] 3:17 AM, August 15, 2009 (PST)

==Battle royal xtreme==
I'm also new so sorry if i edited wrong.
My idea is that there is a big battle royal, but instead of weapons, there are powers like wind, water, fire, earth and lightning. If someone dies they are respawened into a waiting room until the fight is over, but you lose and the story ends.
You can chose your power at the start. So please if someone could make this as i'd probably suck, CHEERS!

:If you get game over, why can't you just be dead then? Makes it a little more important that you win. If the point of it is so you're fighting the same people over and over, that might get a little boring. Maybe the people running the royale have a ton of extra people locked up as backup, and just replace the dead ones so the fight goes on after every round. You could slip in some character development, maybe it's like a tournament, so there can be other people fighting that you meet that you don't immediately have to kill. Or maybe it's not a tournament at all, just entertainment for a twisted society. Gladiator, but with magic instead of swords. -[[User:NightChime|NightChime]] 14:38, 19 October 2009 (PDT)

==Digimon Adventure?==
Honestly, I've seen a few Pokemon related adventures but none of them, ironically, are 'Digimon'-related adventures when there's a big freaking series called "Digimon Adventure". lmao Sorry, I just have to point that out. And, I pointed that out because I have an idea for one. It has quite a long plot, so I am just going to try and summarize it down here.

Similar to DC Comics' Earth Prime, this is what our Earth is like in my story, with the Digital Worlds you see in the anime being real planetary systems in parallel dimensions. The origins of those systems are naturally related to computers (again), with the creator of the first ever Digital World, called "D-World Neo", being specifically the ABC (Atanasoff-Berry Computer) and its shaper (having to build upon the foundations created by the ABC) being the ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer). That first D-World is the one you see in the Digimon X-Evolution movie. Four other 'D-Worlds' were both created ''and'' shaped by more advanced Personal Computers. They were then called Alpha (Tamers' Digital World), Beta (Frontier), Gamma (Adventure), and Delta (Savers). Now here comes the plot. (There's a plot?!) Yes, even among all these documentary-style aspects, there ''is'' a plot.

Some of you might know about Millenniummon from the video game called ''Brave Tamer''. He... or I guess it's 'it' (since there are no genders among Digimon) controls time and space. He then turned into an alternate 'Ultimate Form' (do know that I'm using original Japanese-translated terms here instead of the dub terms) of his called Zeed Millenniummon. He was stopped by a kid named Akiyama Ryo, fused into one with a Digimon called Monodramon and turned into a single Digi Egg. Now, having done that, Zeed's data naturally is inside Monodramon, and though that allows him to evolve into his 'Complete Form' called Cyberdramon, that data also makes him very violent.

After some years of control, Cyberdramon finally caves in to the influence and there's nothing that its partner, Ryo, can do about it. Cyberdramon runs away, seeking to return to his 'Deus Ex' Zeed Millenniummon body, seek revenge upon Ryo and, of course, bring chaos to the Worlds. But, to do that, it needs an energy source to evolve into the 'Ultimate Form', and a deceitful Demon Lord Digimon claims that it just happens to have that energy. Barbamon offers Zeed a deal that Zeed will have to serve Barbamon for an eternity should Barbamon successfully return Zeed to its true form. An eternity is nothing to someone who controls time, so Zeed agrees. Boom. Zeed evolves from Cyberdramon to Zeed again, but Barbamon backstabs him by bounding Zeed as its very own mind-slave.

To restrain Zeed's omnipotent powers, it has these fractal-code chains wrapped around its body, of which the lower-half is trapped in a crystal. To remove both of these, Barbamon needs Zeed to absorb the souls of 'pure children' and their 'pure Digimon' partners. So, it summons you and a few other kids to Digital World Gamma (which was depicted in ''Digimon Adventure'' in our world) and it begins your 'training' into pure souls. Sounds cheesy, but there is a whole lot more to it after Zeed's chains are removed.

What do you think?

==Friday Night==

This story is about you and a group of friends deciding that Fridays are now the day that you all smoke pot and just see what happens.

The first Friday of this new tradition and:

1.Tugboat (Greg Tubot) is caught by the police driving without a license. You and your friends are desperately trying to hide your pot while the police are getting the tow truck to tow Tugboat's car. In a last attempt, you all run to the car and take back roads which can either save you or kill you in the end.

2. After being late, you realize that your friends started smoking without you. While inside, you begin to watch movies and listen to music. After a few hours, you hear moans outside. Thinking it's Randy (whom disappeared for the last 2 hours) you laugh it off and pretend to be scared. Once Zack decides to look outside he shouts "look at these fucks trying to scare us", as he points and laughs at the zombies heading your way. You, not even getting your first inhale of smoke yet, realize that it isn't a prank by Randy and in fact, it is the Zombie Apocalypse. After a brief flashback, you remember that you and your friends have read the "Zombie Survival Guide". Once you remember this, you thank god you were in Ed's house for he has gotten prepared for this. (most up to this point is one set of possible events and it will be continued).

3. You try to break a record and smoke your own weight in Marijuana. After you and your friends pool money for that massive amount of pot, you begin to smoke it. After a hour, you pass out and can vaguely remember what happened. All you see is a blonde nurse and a redhead doctor. The blonde has a decent size of tits where the redhead has a pair of huge tits. (from here on out you fuck your way out of the hospital).

==MacGyver==
You are faced with all sorts of traps, hazards, all sorts of dangerous situations, but since you are MacGyver, you can handle pretty much anything. Could have branches for both the silly, building a bomb out of pocket lint and his own eyelashes MacGyver, and the serious, real human being who's just highly trained, intelligent, and resourceful MacGyver. There could be a plot involving terrorists or some other disgustingly American story that needs a capable hero, to honor the original series. Would work well in super-short, individual situations you need to get out of, short stories, like the length of an episode, all the way up to an epic novel length story with plots, conspiracies, and probably Russians. And of course being a CYOA, you chould... choose which you want at the start. -[[User:NightChime|NightChime]] 14:52, 19 October 2009 (PDT)

==UberMasochist==
You are a masochist in the extreme. Not only do you take great pleasure in pain, but even ''more'' pleasure in screwing up your own life as badly as possible. But you're not stupid; if you commit suicide, then you wouldn't be alive to experience your torment, and that's no fun. Basically, you start off "in shoes," that, if worn by any remotely normal person, would warrant them exceeding amounts of happiness (and thus you sadness). And the entire world seems to be conspiring to keep it that way. What would be a "happy ending" in other CYOAs is this CYOA's Dead End. While not intended to use the primary meaning of the word masochist, and thus not necessarily be an Adult story, that certainly doesn't mean it can't be one. -[[User:NightChime|NightChime]] 01:16, 20 October 2009 (PDT)

-It sounds like one of those ideas that has some extremely depressing deeper meaning in it. I have an idea, by the way. Maybe you should have an organ/body part counter, and less body parts=less fun (after all, the pain of having a limb ripped off only happens once). --[[User:Holygiant|Holygiant]] 18:48, 7 November 2009 (PST)

==Under==
In 'Under', you would take the roll of an unknown (as of now) character who had happily applied to volunteer in the Mordris City Sewer Network. Unfortuantely, you become a straggler from your group and desperately try to make your way out of the sewers, but you uncover much more than just smelly water. You find that there's an entire demonic, zombie-reviving cult living in the urban underground. What were they called? The Mortificatiors. Your character's main weapon would be his rusty machete which he conveniently found from a dead Mortificator. You and the Mortificators, of course, aren't the only ones who live in the sewers. I won't spoil any more on this idea pitch... consider it :)

--[[User:Holygiant|Holygiant]] 18:48, 7 November 2009 (PST)

I'm gonna make me some rat pie! Lol, your idea is funny, but kind of weird...

==[[Pit of Abandoned Stories]]==
Stories of less than ten pages that haven't been worked on by anyone in some time will be dropped into the Pit. Feel free to retrieve stories from the Pit and put them back here on the Main Page if you get inspired and add to one.

==Creating a Story==
If you have an idea for a story, you might like to try [[Idea Pitches|pitching your idea to other users]] and seeing how interested people might be in playing your story, what you could do to make playing your story fun, and who might be interested in collaborating with you to write it. Once you have done that, you can create it by entering your desired name for the Story into the search box and clicking '''Go'''. If the name has not already been taken, click this exact title to start the story. There are three general types of story. The first is the branching-plot story (an example of this is the Choose Your Own Adventure series of gamebooks), which require the reader to make choices but are otherwise like a regular novel. The second type is the role-playing game adventure, which combines the branching-plot novel with simple role-playing rules such as attack points and monster battles. The third type is the trivia quiz, where the player must answer questions as if they were on a game show.

==Instructions==
===Starting Template===
'''Copy and paste this for new pages:'''
<pre><nowiki>
Page text here

Do you:
*[[Adventure/Option 1]]
*[[Adventure/Option 2]]
*[[Adventure/Option 3]]
{{Status|Equipment=''Equipment''|Health=#|MP=#|Level=#}}
[[Category: name of story you're working on]]
</nowiki>
</pre>

The next to the last line here is the ''status indicator''. The status indicator shown here is the ''basic'' status indicator. Different stories use different status indicators, and some use none at all. Look at the edit screen for the page you're starting from and copy that status indicator to the new page you're adding. Modify as necessary.

Every page should have the category at the bottom. This keeps track of all the pages in the story. You can copy the category line from the previous page to the one you're working on.

For additional help in wiki syntax, click [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing here]

===To edit a page===
Just click the edit tab on the top of the page

===To add an option===
<nowiki>[[Adventure name/New option name]]</nowiki>

Options that appear red on the page have no content. Click the link, paste in the above template, and then add your own content.

To avoid accidentally crossing with other users' stories, it may be best to create pages with more than just an option name, like [[Unicorns]] or [[Open your eyes]]. Instead, when you create a new page, call it [[You have to slay The Dragon/_Page 1]] or [[YOUR CRAZY/Give up]]. You can have the link name be whatever you want though, like this:
<nowiki>[[You have to slay The Dragon|Enter The Dragon's Lair]]</nowiki> will appear as [[You have to slay The Dragon|Enter The Dragon's Lair]] on the page.

This is for fun!

===Tips===
*Don't give too many options when starting a new story and leave half of them redlinked. Focus on a small number of story threads at first.
*Outline a general plan for what the intention of your story is when you start it: What genre and themes it belongs to.
*As alternative to plain formatting for your story, you may try using ''Italics'' to write the Narration, regular Font for character Dialogue and '''Bold''' for Character/Item/Location names or important developments. Example: ''As you walked through the'' '''Forest''', ''you heard a young girl calling out for you.'' "Jack! Wait for me! I have a gift for you!" ''Kate runs up to you and gives you the'' '''MacGuffin'''. Whatever style you choose, try to keep it consistent throughout the story.
*If you are having difficulty spacing out paragraphs, you can use <nowiki> </nowiki>. Example:
*<nowiki>This is an example of how to break up paragraphs on a page. This is the same example.</nowiki> will show as:
This is an example of how to break up paragraphs on a page. This is the same example.
*Don't inject crude humor into a story that's intended to be played straight.
*Please categorize the pages in your story. For example, if your story is called "The Story", then please add <nowiki>[[Category:The Story]]</nowiki> to each new page you create for your story.

==Rules==
People have a tendency to create branches where the character dies. To prevent the story from being just a tree with all dead ends:
*For each page where you kill the player's character, you must create at least 2 pages (with content) where s/he can go on.
*Please stick to the theme and setting of the story, and discuss ideas for major changes on the discussion pages. Although creativity is encouraged, radical plot changes and inconsistencies will ruin the flow.
*If something is off topic, remove it.
*Try to capitalize and spell your words correctly.
*'''ADD OPTIONS AND NOT JUST TEXT!''' Complete pages include options so the story can continue (unless the page is an ending). Incomplete pages will be edited or deleted.

==To Do List==
*Go through and fix or remove status indicators from pages.
**Some are not needed in stories and were copied and pasted from the template.
**Some are missing the level and MP from the line of code.
*Remove off-topic pages.
*Correct capitalization and spelling mistakes.
*Add a basic, or main, timeline of background events during the period that the character is making choices in - those events are usually out of the character's control. This will help add consistency.
*Pages with major spelling, grammar or other problems, but not problems that render the page spam and a candidate for deletion, should be categorized in the Pages Requiring Attention Category to get other editors to help fix it up. If a page is not yet complete, add it to Category:Pages Under Construction so people know the editor is still working on it and it does not need to have someone improve it.
*Story Endings should be categorized with Category:Endings.

== Poor Taste Stories ==

'''FOR 21+''' No limits to content. Don't blame us.

Idea Pitches

Julian — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 05:56:56 GMT

Julian:

This is a page full of IDEAS for choose your own adventures that haven't been authored yet. Sometimes, you have a great idea, but you just can't finish its story, right? Post the idea or unfinished piece here and have it changed.

julian: i got this cool idea where you wake up on a space station with no memory and there doesnt seem to be any people around. The whole place is falling apart, and walls are collapsing and whatever. The ship was actually the last humans from earth, but we had to evacuate earth for some reason, but on the ship somehting went wrong and a bunch of people died. i dunno, just the beginning of an idea, but please give me some ideas if possible
----

Kawi: I've been thinking about making a story where you are an international mercenary and you get to choose an organisation to work for. I went as far to make a setting for this story.

This is it so far...

----

This story is set in the dystopian future of 2050. You are a mercenary, Jack Templar. You work for whoever pays the highest price. In such an unstable world, you are never short of work.

Here is a brief summary of Jack Templar world

North America- The former superpower was plunged into a second civil war during the 2030â��s. The North and the South are once again at each others throat. Neither side can gain superiority over the other.

Western Europe- Its people have the best standards of living. However, puppet democracies are really controlled by powerful aristocratic families and everyone is under 24 hour surveillance for their â��protectionâ��. Think George Orwellâ��s 1984

Eastern Europe- Individual warlords control the rural areas, and the conflict between them creates many atrocities. Meanwhile, its larger cities have become the red light district of the world as a result of the thriving sex slave trade.

Africa- Any hopes for harmony in Africa are all but destroyed. Old tribal tensions and civil unrest has plunged the continent into unimaginable bloodshed. As a result, most of the worldâ��s military contactors use it as a base of operations.

China and Japan- An uneasy truce exists between the worlds leading military and technological super powers. Their mutually beneficial arrangement makes them a force to be reckoned with. They are suspicious of all foreigners.

[[Jim's Barbeque]]- Prophets of the onset of the most delicious food this universe has ever seen, and fanatics in the ways of beef-fu. The leader is a figure cloaked in the shadowy fumes of teriyaki sauce, and noone has ever seen this wonderous man (or woman????).

South America- Most of the continent is controlled by a dictator. To the people, he is a benevolent revolutionary. Under the surface, he runs the biggest drug operation in the entire world. Resistance forces occupy most of the Amazon.

Russia- The old soviet power has long since shut its door on the rest of the world. Few know what goes on inside the country.

Middle East- Groups of all descriptions squabble over the last oil reserves. The longest wall ever built surrounds the state of Israel. Meanwhile, Palestinians have united and started an organised front against their old enemies.

Australia- An unknown epidemic swept the continent clean of any human habitation. There are many rumours that mutants occupy certain parts of the mainland.

----

Sorry. My imagination went a bit crazy.Any thoughts or feedback would be greatly appriciated.

---You've created a world. Not much else. There's no real plot to your idea, or supporting cast, or anything. These things could be forgivable, but your world isn't even that interesting. It's a world spawned by a few exaggerated cliches. North and south start fighting? Over what? Slaves? Japan and China enemies? Whoa how novel. Africa enveloped in civil war? But Europe is controlled by government? Incredible. It'd be more novel to make Africa the strongest united nation in the world, plunge Europe and America into poverty and civil war, then have China and Japan on the move to take over these disputed territories.

And Jack Templar? Might as well call him Buff McWarriorpants. Give him an ordinary name. In order to draw reader immersion and interest, in-fact, it would be best if you made this Jack some deadbeat nobody. One day he's enjoying his life somewhere in the word when it's suddenly usurped from him. He has to learn to survive in a hostile changing world. There, that's a basic idea for a story, one which is well suited for CHOYA. Thanks for enduring my critical comments.--[[User:Anubite|Anubite]] 11:29, 28 November 2008 (PST)

Jeffthedork: I've been thinking about a story were: 3 teens are dared to spend the night in a haunted house and they get attacked by gousts and they find secret rooms and stuff like that.

---Good idea. What name and what rating?

---Jeffthdork: Rating = R. Name = Fright.

Jeffthedork: I've go another idea: A haunted prison kills it's convicts and it's guards. You would be a guard and have to try to live. The prison would be able to turn on machines by its self and make unreal stuff happen like the back wall of a cell push the inmate in the cell against the cell door, slicing him into many pieces.

NovelOfDoom: Is this page public?I hope so,cause I'm not sure xD.I had an idea for a story that I couldn't finish.Your a average guy who has a wife and 2 kids.Then all of a sudden this dude calls,saying he has a expert sniper who has a lock on your family,and you gotta go through a bunch of obstacles(involving fighting numerous enimies) assigned by the guy,or else he'll order the sniper to take out your kids and wife.Sorry that was so long :P

Yes, this page is public. And that's not too long for an idea pitch. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 16:17, 24 August 2008 (PDT)

Jack Frost: That is a really good story idea. (how come I never think of these great story ideas?) Would you mind if I write that story? It sounds excellent. Its just the thing I need.

TheEverLastingTale:Are you talking to me?LOL I'm NovelOfDoom,but sadly,I completely forgot my password,so I ended up making another account,LOL.Jack Frost,I likey that name :D.If you were talking about me,I would be honored if you write that story :D(I'm just guessing that you've been on this site for a long while,LMAO.)

monkey76: how about a story where the laws of physics (or reason) don't apply, so the most sensable choice might not work eg: if you ask boss for a raise he explodes and if you kick him he'll give you the ocarina of time.
or is that a bad idea?

Jack Frost: If somebody ever writes that, I hope they put it in the "Nobody Should Read These" section. But, that does sound like it would be a good story. That also seems like a great idea for a story.

Trar: I need help writing my story, [[Would_You%2C_Could_You%2C_Fuck_A_Goat%3F!|Would You, Could You, Fuck A Goat?!]]. Every page has to have an option at the bottom of it leading to[[Die]], ALWAYS, no matter what. Also, the player will NEVER actually fuck a goat. That would be bad.

TheNeverEndingTale:This is getting annoying ><.I keep forgetting my password,so I ended up making yet ANOTHER account(I'm NovelOfDoom and TheEverLastingTale.) I have another idea.You live in (whatever country you want) where the President is reall corrupt,so you take it upon yourself to take him out.

TGLS:You are Joe Jones an unimportant Sales Representative on a Dystopian Earth in 2230 but times are changing.
The Nations are as follows:

â�¢ Allied States of America: The remaining states have allied each other together in order to weather the attacks of revolutionaries.
â�¢ Confederate States of America: After the economic collapse of 2184 in order maintain the industrial base of the former confederate states they readopted slavery and war was declared by the Allied States of America.
â�¢ Microsoft Computer Corporation: One of the only Non-Asian Corporations left Microsoft Computer Corporation declared Sovereignty in 2185 and negotiated a treaty with the Confederate States of America.

*''Redage1'': Hey all! Just wanted to say, The Life of a School Kid is online! It's public, but if you write a really dumb choice, I'll delete it. Also, if you write a section, please include (This section write by ---)And don't delete anyone else's work! thanks! http://editthis.info/Choose_Your_Own_Adventure/The_Life_of_a_School_Kid (Link to the story)

Reecer6: I have an idea. You are a kid named David who wakes up in a haunted mansion and must get out. it'll be slightly RPGish, as you'll gain Health, XP, ect. while facing creatures from spiders to Ginormous Screamer faces. He'll also have a fear meter. You'll want to keep it low to beat enemies easier, but keep it high to destroy cracked walls ect. There'll be 2 passages in most every room.

[[Category: System Pages]]

Reporko: i have two ideas....
one is where you are kicked out of your home by your girlfriend and are really depressed. you walk into an alley and discover you have secret powers.

The other one is where its like in post future like 2011 or 2015 or something and like the world is collapsing and people are surviving when the apocalypse and after. Tell me what you think.

:A little cliche, but maybe because you're just brushing the top of some even better ideas. Dig deeper! :) -[[User:NightChime|NightChime]] 14:38, 19 October 2009 (PDT)
==Olympian Quest==
Does anyone agree to this: This is about a quest that takes you to Mount Olympus and find a stolen trident that the greek god, Hades hid.--[[User:Greenlande23|Greenlande23]] 15:24, 4 June 2009 (PDT)

I see no reason to object to someone writing such a story. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 16:01, 4 June 2009 (PDT)

Seems like a good idea, in fact i think you should let it fly! --[[User:Megadeth1|Megadeth1]] 17:34 23 june 2009 (PDT)

==Fixing the red ring of death==
I had an idea to make a funny adventure of your x-box 360 geting the red ring of death, and you try to fix it. I just need to see if people think its a good idea.

Ring of Death eh? The old Ring of Death... well, I guess it wouldn't be really funny if you make it like, 'you restart your Xbox360. YOU WIN!' That would be lame. To me, a good story based on real life always has a kick-butt fighting scene, a huge plot twist, an evil wizard, Russia and it's 11 time zones, Shaka Zulu, and a Jamaican guy. So, if you include all of those, then yes, it would be an EPIC story, like mines. Play it here--> [[An Epic Adventure]] --[[Forsak3n1]] 16:33 August 6, 2009

==Castle II==
This is a scenario that I have done verbally, and want to put on here. It is a puzzle/rpg/type thing, with a plot and many different options. You explore a castle, trying to find the person who cursed your hometown. You encounter many dangers, monsters, conflicts, and other action-like things. Is this a good idea?
~[[User:Ebony949|Ebony949]] 14:32, 2 August 2009

It sounds like something with potential. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 08:11, 2 August 2009 (PDT)

==Badassery==
I'm new, so sorry if I edited this wrong. I'm just copying how other people are editing this. Basically my idea for the story is you start off normally. You're a man, kids, wife etc etc. Then out of NOWHERE, some guy tries to kill you! So you head off on a quest to try and find out who and why they tried to kill you. For fun, I will also put in some hidden random stuff in the story. Slipping in a internet meme, or a video game quote. The unique parts of the story(hence the title) will be the BADASS moments. Where the character will start off a combo(for lack of a better word), and you choose how to continue it. Some will advance the combo, and some will leave you flat on your face. I will try my hardest to put as much pages and effort into this story before summer vacation ends. Good idea?

==Comics Unrated==
Much like the Star Wars and Star Trek, adventures, you choose characters and have sex, fight, kill, curse, etc. Basically way to express the comic heroes as if they were more like people and not heroes. There would be a set story for each hero. I even thought at the beginning you must choose DC or Marvel, and then it starts. I think a lot of people would like this.

~[[User:Carmenlover|Carmenlover]] 3:17 AM, August 15, 2009 (PST)

==Battle royal xtreme==
I'm also new so sorry if i edited wrong.
My idea is that there is a big battle royal, but instead of weapons, there are powers like wind, water, fire, earth and lightning. If someone dies they are respawened into a waiting room until the fight is over, but you lose and the story ends.
You can chose your power at the start. So please if someone could make this as i'd probably suck, CHEERS!

:If you get game over, why can't you just be dead then? Makes it a little more important that you win. If the point of it is so you're fighting the same people over and over, that might get a little boring. Maybe the people running the royale have a ton of extra people locked up as backup, and just replace the dead ones so the fight goes on after every round. You could slip in some character development, maybe it's like a tournament, so there can be other people fighting that you meet that you don't immediately have to kill. Or maybe it's not a tournament at all, just entertainment for a twisted society. Gladiator, but with magic instead of swords. -[[User:NightChime|NightChime]] 14:38, 19 October 2009 (PDT)

==Digimon Adventure?==
Honestly, I've seen a few Pokemon related adventures but none of them, ironically, are 'Digimon'-related adventures when there's a big freaking series called "Digimon Adventure". lmao Sorry, I just have to point that out. And, I pointed that out because I have an idea for one. It has quite a long plot, so I am just going to try and summarize it down here.

Similar to DC Comics' Earth Prime, this is what our Earth is like in my story, with the Digital Worlds you see in the anime being real planetary systems in parallel dimensions. The origins of those systems are naturally related to computers (again), with the creator of the first ever Digital World, called "D-World Neo", being specifically the ABC (Atanasoff-Berry Computer) and its shaper (having to build upon the foundations created by the ABC) being the ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer). That first D-World is the one you see in the Digimon X-Evolution movie. Four other 'D-Worlds' were both created ''and'' shaped by more advanced Personal Computers. They were then called Alpha (Tamers' Digital World), Beta (Frontier), Gamma (Adventure), and Delta (Savers). Now here comes the plot. (There's a plot?!) Yes, even among all these documentary-style aspects, there ''is'' a plot.

Some of you might know about Millenniummon from the video game called ''Brave Tamer''. He... or I guess it's 'it' (since there are no genders among Digimon) controls time and space. He then turned into an alternate 'Ultimate Form' (do know that I'm using original Japanese-translated terms here instead of the dub terms) of his called Zeed Millenniummon. He was stopped by a kid named Akiyama Ryo, fused into one with a Digimon called Monodramon and turned into a single Digi Egg. Now, having done that, Zeed's data naturally is inside Monodramon, and though that allows him to evolve into his 'Complete Form' called Cyberdramon, that data also makes him very violent.

After some years of control, Cyberdramon finally caves in to the influence and there's nothing that its partner, Ryo, can do about it. Cyberdramon runs away, seeking to return to his 'Deus Ex' Zeed Millenniummon body, seek revenge upon Ryo and, of course, bring chaos to the Worlds. But, to do that, it needs an energy source to evolve into the 'Ultimate Form', and a deceitful Demon Lord Digimon claims that it just happens to have that energy. Barbamon offers Zeed a deal that Zeed will have to serve Barbamon for an eternity should Barbamon successfully return Zeed to its true form. An eternity is nothing to someone who controls time, so Zeed agrees. Boom. Zeed evolves from Cyberdramon to Zeed again, but Barbamon backstabs him by bounding Zeed as its very own mind-slave.

To restrain Zeed's omnipotent powers, it has these fractal-code chains wrapped around its body, of which the lower-half is trapped in a crystal. To remove both of these, Barbamon needs Zeed to absorb the souls of 'pure children' and their 'pure Digimon' partners. So, it summons you and a few other kids to Digital World Gamma (which was depicted in ''Digimon Adventure'' in our world) and it begins your 'training' into pure souls. Sounds cheesy, but there is a whole lot more to it after Zeed's chains are removed.

What do you think?

==Friday Night==

This story is about you and a group of friends deciding that Fridays are now the day that you all smoke pot and just see what happens.

The first Friday of this new tradition and:

1.Tugboat (Greg Tubot) is caught by the police driving without a license. You and your friends are desperately trying to hide your pot while the police are getting the tow truck to tow Tugboat's car. In a last attempt, you all run to the car and take back roads which can either save you or kill you in the end.

2. After being late, you realize that your friends started smoking without you. While inside, you begin to watch movies and listen to music. After a few hours, you hear moans outside. Thinking it's Randy (whom disappeared for the last 2 hours) you laugh it off and pretend to be scared. Once Zack decides to look outside he shouts "look at these fucks trying to scare us", as he points and laughs at the zombies heading your way. You, not even getting your first inhale of smoke yet, realize that it isn't a prank by Randy and in fact, it is the Zombie Apocalypse. After a brief flashback, you remember that you and your friends have read the "Zombie Survival Guide". Once you remember this, you thank god you were in Ed's house for he has gotten prepared for this. (most up to this point is one set of possible events and it will be continued).

3. You try to break a record and smoke your own weight in Marijuana. After you and your friends pool money for that massive amount of pot, you begin to smoke it. After a hour, you pass out and can vaguely remember what happened. All you see is a blonde nurse and a redhead doctor. The blonde has a decent size of tits where the redhead has a pair of huge tits. (from here on out you fuck your way out of the hospital).

==MacGyver==
You are faced with all sorts of traps, hazards, all sorts of dangerous situations, but since you are MacGyver, you can handle pretty much anything. Could have branches for both the silly, building a bomb out of pocket lint and his own eyelashes MacGyver, and the serious, real human being who's just highly trained, intelligent, and resourceful MacGyver. There could be a plot involving terrorists or some other disgustingly American story that needs a capable hero, to honor the original series. Would work well in super-short, individual situations you need to get out of, short stories, like the length of an episode, all the way up to an epic novel length story with plots, conspiracies, and probably Russians. And of course being a CYOA, you chould... choose which you want at the start. -[[User:NightChime|NightChime]] 14:52, 19 October 2009 (PDT)

==UberMasochist==
You are a masochist in the extreme. Not only do you take great pleasure in pain, but even ''more'' pleasure in screwing up your own life as badly as possible. But you're not stupid; if you commit suicide, then you wouldn't be alive to experience your torment, and that's no fun. Basically, you start off "in shoes," that, if worn by any remotely normal person, would warrant them exceeding amounts of happiness (and thus you sadness). And the entire world seems to be conspiring to keep it that way. What would be a "happy ending" in other CYOAs is this CYOA's Dead End. While not intended to use the primary meaning of the word masochist, and thus not necessarily be an Adult story, that certainly doesn't mean it can't be one. -[[User:NightChime|NightChime]] 01:16, 20 October 2009 (PDT)

-It sounds like one of those ideas that has some extremely depressing deeper meaning in it. I have an idea, by the way. Maybe you should have an organ/body part counter, and less body parts=less fun (after all, the pain of having a limb ripped off only happens once). --[[User:Holygiant|Holygiant]] 18:48, 7 November 2009 (PST)

==Under==
In 'Under', you would take the roll of an unknown (as of now) character who had happily applied to volunteer in the Mordris City Sewer Network. Unfortuantely, you become a straggler from your group and desperately try to make your way out of the sewers, but you uncover much more than just smelly water. You find that there's an entire demonic, zombie-reviving cult living in the urban underground. What were they called? The Mortificatiors. Your character's main weapon would be his rusty machete which he conveniently found from a dead Mortificator. You and the Mortificators, of course, aren't the only ones who live in the sewers. I won't spoil any more on this idea pitch... consider it :)

--[[User:Holygiant|Holygiant]] 18:48, 7 November 2009 (PST)

I'm gonna make me some rat pie! Lol, your idea is funny, but kind of weird...

==[[Pit of Abandoned Stories]]==
Stories of less than ten pages that haven't been worked on by anyone in some time will be dropped into the Pit. Feel free to retrieve stories from the Pit and put them back here on the Main Page if you get inspired and add to one.

==Creating a Story==
If you have an idea for a story, you might like to try [[Idea Pitches|pitching your idea to other users]] and seeing how interested people might be in playing your story, what you could do to make playing your story fun, and who might be interested in collaborating with you to write it. Once you have done that, you can create it by entering your desired name for the Story into the search box and clicking '''Go'''. If the name has not already been taken, click this exact title to start the story. There are three general types of story. The first is the branching-plot story (an example of this is the Choose Your Own Adventure series of gamebooks), which require the reader to make choices but are otherwise like a regular novel. The second type is the role-playing game adventure, which combines the branching-plot novel with simple role-playing rules such as attack points and monster battles. The third type is the trivia quiz, where the player must answer questions as if they were on a game show.

==Instructions==
===Starting Template===
'''Copy and paste this for new pages:'''
<pre><nowiki>
Page text here

Do you:
*[[Adventure/Option 1]]
*[[Adventure/Option 2]]
*[[Adventure/Option 3]]
{{Status|Equipment=''Equipment''|Health=#|MP=#|Level=#}}
[[Category: name of story you're working on]]
</nowiki>
</pre>

The next to the last line here is the ''status indicator''. The status indicator shown here is the ''basic'' status indicator. Different stories use different status indicators, and some use none at all. Look at the edit screen for the page you're starting from and copy that status indicator to the new page you're adding. Modify as necessary.

Every page should have the category at the bottom. This keeps track of all the pages in the story. You can copy the category line from the previous page to the one you're working on.

For additional help in wiki syntax, click [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing here]

===To edit a page===
Just click the edit tab on the top of the page

===To add an option===
<nowiki>[[Adventure name/New option name]]</nowiki>

Options that appear red on the page have no content. Click the link, paste in the above template, and then add your own content.

To avoid accidentally crossing with other users' stories, it may be best to create pages with more than just an option name, like [[Unicorns]] or [[Open your eyes]]. Instead, when you create a new page, call it [[You have to slay The Dragon/_Page 1]] or [[YOUR CRAZY/Give up]]. You can have the link name be whatever you want though, like this:
<nowiki>[[You have to slay The Dragon|Enter The Dragon's Lair]]</nowiki> will appear as [[You have to slay The Dragon|Enter The Dragon's Lair]] on the page.

This is for fun!

===Tips===
*Don't give too many options when starting a new story and leave half of them redlinked. Focus on a small number of story threads at first.
*Outline a general plan for what the intention of your story is when you start it: What genre and themes it belongs to.
*As alternative to plain formatting for your story, you may try using ''Italics'' to write the Narration, regular Font for character Dialogue and '''Bold''' for Character/Item/Location names or important developments. Example: ''As you walked through the'' '''Forest''', ''you heard a young girl calling out for you.'' "Jack! Wait for me! I have a gift for you!" ''Kate runs up to you and gives you the'' '''MacGuffin'''. Whatever style you choose, try to keep it consistent throughout the story.
*If you are having difficulty spacing out paragraphs, you can use <nowiki> </nowiki>. Example:
*<nowiki>This is an example of how to break up paragraphs on a page. This is the same example.</nowiki> will show as:
This is an example of how to break up paragraphs on a page. This is the same example.
*Don't inject crude humor into a story that's intended to be played straight.
*Please categorize the pages in your story. For example, if your story is called "The Story", then please add <nowiki>[[Category:The Story]]</nowiki> to each new page you create for your story.

==Rules==
People have a tendency to create branches where the character dies. To prevent the story from being just a tree with all dead ends:
*For each page where you kill the player's character, you must create at least 2 pages (with content) where s/he can go on.
*Please stick to the theme and setting of the story, and discuss ideas for major changes on the discussion pages. Although creativity is encouraged, radical plot changes and inconsistencies will ruin the flow.
*If something is off topic, remove it.
*Try to capitalize and spell your words correctly.
*'''ADD OPTIONS AND NOT JUST TEXT!''' Complete pages include options so the story can continue (unless the page is an ending). Incomplete pages will be edited or deleted.

==To Do List==
*Go through and fix or remove status indicators from pages.
**Some are not needed in stories and were copied and pasted from the template.
**Some are missing the level and MP from the line of code.
*Remove off-topic pages.
*Correct capitalization and spelling mistakes.
*Add a basic, or main, timeline of background events during the period that the character is making choices in - those events are usually out of the character's control. This will help add consistency.
*Pages with major spelling, grammar or other problems, but not problems that render the page spam and a candidate for deletion, should be categorized in the Pages Requiring Attention Category to get other editors to help fix it up. If a page is not yet complete, add it to Category:Pages Under Construction so people know the editor is still working on it and it does not need to have someone improve it.
*Story Endings should be categorized with Category:Endings.

==Story Discussions==
Can everybody pleasy edit the story, High School please I really want it to go far, so put anything into it
if you want. -Gr1mm 07:18, 9 August 2009 (EDT)

This is a great idea, but the problem is that the story lacks focus. Everyone is just adding to it in crazy directions with some adult content thrown in. Although I guess its funny, it will never be a story. I suggest that the authors try their best to constrain it to the world of the story, and not have things like out of place items like possibly cell phones or celebrities, etc. (I am talking here about the non-adult stories.)
::I completely agree, but keep in mind that if you see something that doesn't belong, feel free to cut it out. Also all it takes is one person with the urge to create a focused storyline. Right now everyone is just putting in little peices just for the heck of it.
::::I agree that story focus will be a problem with the current system (I also agree that this is a great idea). How about writing a short blurb on the beginning page when starting a new story? It could work as a setting definition for that story, and as a reference when editors weigh whether new additions to that story are appropriate or not. It would also work as a traditional book blurb, making it easier for readers to choose stories to their liking. [[User:E.p.|E.p.]] 11:15, 12 December 2006 (EST)

Whoever put in that story about red october, it was really good! -RobKohr 08:00, 10 August 2006 (EDT)

*Tip: [http://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=powerbar&spell=1 search for small images] and add the links to them to equipment. This way you can use images in the equipment list. Try to use the direct image url and not the google cached copy since that changes frequently.

** Removing the "Random page" link might be a good idea for this project, especially when children are visiting the site, may curiously or accidentally stumble onto a scene from an 18+ story or something. [[User:Leileilol|Leileilol]] 20:39, 28 November 2006 (EST)
**Done, good thinking! :)

* Anyone played Fantasy Quest? Are the Diablo sprites infringing any copywrite? [[User:FQ|FQ]] 16:57, 8 January 2007 (EST)

*How to we block destructive morons like [[C.Mitch]] and [[Gaius Flaminus the Censor]] who want to trash the site? [[User:Platypus]]
*I posted Gaius' rant over at the parent page, eddithis.info. Maybe someone there can do something about him. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 16:44, 23 February 2007 (EST)
*Good idea Platypus! [[User:Fruitbat|Fruitbat]]

*I wasn't here when Gaius Flaminus struck, but I went onto the recent changes page and I agree he sounds like a @#%$&. Post on my talk page if you agree. [[User:Fruitbat|Fruitbat]]

*Has anyone tried [[Crusader (an action-adventure fantasy)|Crusader]] or [[Paladin (Crusader 2)|Paladin]]? They're not as boring as they may sound! [[User:Fruitbat|Fruitbat]]
**Yeah, I have. Crusader started fine but then got too wierd and mixed-up after a while. Paladin is newer, so it's still coming together. I added about 8 pages to Paladin the other day...[[User:Ashogo|Ashogo]]

*I sort of stopped making then since I though they had enough (though I might start again after a while) and I've been looking on recent changes. Many different users are adding new things. They can be weird, but they aren't misspelled or way off topic, so I let them stay. [[User:Fruitbat|Fruitbat]]
**Oh yeah, they aren't really poorly written or anything, they just don't fit together. (like one second you're fighting off monsters in your castle and suddenly you're in a forest and the castle is never mentioned again)I kinda figured that you didn't write most of the more recent stuff. It's not really bad or anything.[[User:Ashogo|Ashogo]]

*What in the #^%* is going on!? I keep pressing "remember me" on the log in page and it keeps saying I'm not logged in! I don't know what's going on! [[User:Fruitbat|Fruitbat]]17:05, 11 Feb. 2007 (EST).
**How odd. It's working fine for me. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 16:41, 23 February 2007 (EST)

*Arg!!! I'm choking on a carrot! [[User:Fruitbat|Fruitbat]]

==makeing a link==
im new how would i make a link to another page like the ones that have allready been done, and ones that are yet to be made?

==Deleting an account==
*I haven't used this in awhile and I wish to delete my account. How do I do this? [[User:Flowerzomay|Flowerzomay]]

==Print a text with pagination for the story?==
I'm a teacher, I'd like to print some of these for my students. Anyone figured out how to print the stories with pagination for going to the next decision?--[[User:Pleabargain|Pleabargain]] 21:03, 24 May 2009 (PDT)

You could try printing the pages and then putting them in alphabetical order by title. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 11:07, 25 May 2009 (PDT)

==Kids only website with same idea?==
This site is a great idea but totally not going to fly with any school because of its content. Anyone know of a 'kiddy only' site that does the same thing as this one? Thanks.--[[User:Pleabargain|Pleabargain]] 21:03, 24 May 2009 (PDT)

Unfortunately, I think you'll find a lot more adult-only sites out there than kid-friendly sites. We did take the Random Page button off the Main Page precisely because it might land kids in the adult section, but I agree that no school would accept students visiting a site with this much adult content on it. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 11:10, 25 May 2009 (PDT)

==Zoo Template==
*How do you add animal sketches to the zoo templet? I tried to add one and it didn't work. [[User:Fruitbat|Fruitbat]]

*If you mean adding animals to the directory, first, I upload the animal pic I want using the 'Upload File' button. Then I right click on the uploaded file and choose 'properties' from the menu to see how the pic is named here on the site. Then I add a line like this to the ZooTemplate:
<nowiki>|[[Hyenas.]] http://www.editthis.info/images/choose_your_own_adventure/a/a9/Striped-hyena_1_sm.gif</nowiki>

I seperate rows of animals by using |- at the start of a new row.
Incidentally, I acquired those sketches from http://etc.usf.edu/clipart/mySearch.php --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 00:04, 3 March 2007 (EST)

If you mean adding the sketch to new pages, the template looks like this on a new page:
<nowiki>{{ZooExhibitTemplate|Animal=The Platypus|animalpic=http://www.editthis.info/images/choose_your_own_adventure/3/38/Platypus_7408_sm.gif}}
</nowiki>
Animal= the name of the animal, animalpic= the address of the picture --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 00:24, 3 March 2007 (EST)

==1st Person Stories==
*Do stories have to be set in the second-person perspective? Because I have a story set in first-person that I think might be nice here, but it would be a pain to change everything to second-person. I don't see any rules about it so I'm guessing it's ok...?[[User:Ashogo|Ashogo]]

*Go ahead. When it comes to writing, don't be afraid to experiment. There's nothing wrong with doing something a little different. Also, Jo-Ann the Librarian is in semi-3rd person. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 00:04, 3 March 2007 (EST)
**Got it. Thanks.[[User:Ashogo|Ashogo]]
* Yeah my story Zombie OverLord is written in first person and I think its great but thats just because I am the writer... lol. [[User:Merlin_a4|Merlin_a4]]

==Formatting Text==
*How do you add words in bold writing after you make a new page or edit a page? [[User:Fruitbat|Fruitbat]]
*By putting threee quote marks around the text (<nowiki>'''bold'''</nowiki>='''bold'''). Two quotes makes ''italics''. Or use the little string of buttons on the top of the edit window. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 11:25, 25 February 2007 (EST)

* Thanks for the info, but I was really meaning like this: (blocked "User:66.168.100.13" with an expiry time of infinite: vandal) which appeared on "recent changes" page after [[User:RobKohr|RobKhor]] blocked User 66.168 etc.

*Oh, that. Write something in the summary box at the bottom of the edit screen and it will appear on the "recent changes" page.--[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 07:38, 27 February 2007 (EST)

*Is there any way to format text so that certain lines are out in the middle (indented) like this:
E x a m p l e
But without having that blue box around it?

I don't think so.
You just have to start pages at the beginning of the page I guess.[[User:Fruitbat|Fruitbat]]

*Hm....That kind of sucks. Oh well, thanks.[[User:Ashogo|Ashogo]]
*I've been puzzling over this for days... and the answer is right above us! Colons!
Typing this:

<nowiki>
::Indent</nowiki>

<nowiki>::::Further indent.</nowiki>

Produces this:
::Indent.
::::Further indent. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 00:09, 3 March 2007 (EST)
*so it IS possible. Sweet, I thought there must be a way to do it
::::::Thanks.[[User:Ashogo|Ashogo]]

== Princess Carkegee ==
*I'm confused about the Kid's adventure, Princess Carkegee. It seems to be about religion, in which not many people would take interest. The plot is mixed up and confusing, and it seems to be focusing on more then one religion at once. The title does not mix into the adventure. The adventure, I think, needs to be changed. [[User:Fruitbat]]
**I'm glad I'm not the only one who couldn't make heads or tails out of that story. I'm not sure if it's meant to be Buddhist, Christian or what. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 09:03, 14 February 2007 (EST)
* Right now, I think I'm going to try to "re-vamp" Carkegee a little...
[[User:Fruitbat|Fruitbat]].
*I have now added a Princess Carkegee status bar to the adventure. [[User:Fruitbat|Fruitbat]]
*What the...wow, you're right. What is going ON in that story? I really don't get it. [[User:Ashogo|Ashogo]]
*I did a google search for "princess carkegee". There's more confusing buddhist/christian/hallucination stuff about her floating around out there, but nothing that makes any kind of sense.--[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 00:04, 3 March 2007 (EST)

== Best wiki ever ==

*I admit obviously that I've only flicked through the non-adult sections and have paid the most attention to the Sex Romp story, but still, this is an excellent use of the wiki technology.

*I'm glad someone likes the site, since every day lately another jerk attacks and I waste a lot of time repairing things. [[User:Platypus|Platypus]]

*Why is it that "Smutty Sex Romp" can have the word "sex" when the word "sex" is forbidden?
Oh - wait...I understand now...

*Dang! I accidentally messed up the regular status indicator! [[User:Fruitbat|Fruitbat]]
*No biggie. Click on 'history' and go back to the revision before you messed it up.--[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 15:46, 5 February 2007 (EST)

*Daang...who did the "World's End" Story? It's incredibly good, now we just need it to be expanded.[[User:Ashogo|Ashogo]]
*Well, it was started by 128.138.31.70... It looks like it attract writers who don't make names for themselves. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 01:13, 3 March 2007 (EST)

*Hey, just found this site, and yes, this is amazing. Very happy to be here and can't wait to start on my own story! --[[User:Olboyfloats|Olboyfloats]]

*Repeat of the World's End comment. I'd love to know what happened! (Also, excellent site. Now I've got even more stuff to play with while ignoring homework!) --[[User:Cyclone|Cyclone]]

== Page counts ==

*The page counts seem wildly off.

*And how do you figure that? Many stories here have their own status bar. By going to the Special Page 'Most Linked To Pages', you can see precisely how many pages link to a status bar. So the pages counts aren't guesses. They're computed by the site itself. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 10:22, 9 February 2007 (EST)

== Categories ==

Categories need to be created for each individual story. Makes it easier to group them and keep track of your pages. Also, I've created [[:Category:Templates]] for all "Status" templates - [[User:Kwenn|Kwenn]] 12:45, 9 February 2007 (EST)

It isn't necessary to categorize every page in a story. Having a status bar unique to that story serves pretty much the same function. But a category for templates is a good idea. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 13:10, 9 February 2007 (EST)

Not every story needs a status bar, and then categories become useful. On another CYOA story wiki I use, categories are used to track stories, original authors of each thread, and such things as unfinished threads. Seems to work nicely. Makes it easy to see other things an author has written, what threads need work, etc. --[[User:Torg|Torg]] 19:54, 2 October 2009 (PDT)

The usefulness of categories has become more obvious as the site has grown. It's very helpful to be able to instantly identify what story any given page belongs to. I've been making certain that every page has a category. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 21:22, 2 October 2009 (PDT)

I'd like to know more about the "Unfinished thread" and such categories. Do we currently use them here? And how do they help track authors? --[[User:Rawar|Rawar]] 23:17, 5 October 2009 (PDT)

I use the 'user contributions' function to check what a given author has written. Putting a category of 'unfinished thread' on an incomplete page could be useful for tracking pages in need of completion. But no one has been doing so here. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 08:00, 6 October 2009 (PDT)

On my own editthis.info Wiki that I use for writing CYOA stories for another site (I was using my own PHPWiki on my own domain, but it was really slow) I add 'Category: Unfinished' to any page that I haven't finished yet. Some of those pages are from other authors (I copied their page from the other site to give my page context), so I add 'Category: author's name', since they didn't write it in the Wiki, but it's their words. --[[User:Torg|Torg]] 08:46, 7 October 2009 (PDT)

*Something starnge just happened to me! I got sysop rights today and now the entire site looks different! I can't find edit buttons in certain places! I woundered if Platypus or anyone else with sysop rights sees the same thing, and also if they know how to get back to the old page or if it's just an effect of the sysop. [[User:Fruitbat|Fruitbat]]

*[[User:RobKohr|RobKohr]] has promoted us, Fruitbat. Now we can block vandals or protect pages, as necessary. I haven't noticed any missing edit buttons... yet.--[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 11:25, 25 February 2007 (EST)

* I understand about the promotion. However, the page is now back to normal. I don't know what happened to the page. All of the edit buttons seemed to dissappear, but they are all back now. [[User:Fruitbat|Fruitbat]]

*What does "protect" do?
**'protect' prevents anyone from editting a page. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 08:45, 28 February 2007 (EST)

*I wounder what the highest rank we can get is?

*It appears someone may have beed sort of "vandalizing". on the special page "user list", there are about 20 user names with multiple exlamation points, sort of like C. Mitch's ones. Should I block them? [[User:Fruitbat|Fruitbat]]
**I noticed those. I'm not sure if they mean anything or not. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 00:04, 3 March 2007 (EST)
*I went ahead and blocked them. It took a while! [[User:Fruitbat|Fruitbat]]

*When I edit [[Boromir's Quest (an LOTR adventure)|Boromir's Quest]], I copy the Status Bar and Category indicator from the previous page. Now two of the pages are listed at the top of the category page and not under their appropirate letter. Can someone explain this to me? [[User:Fruitbat|Fruitbat]]
:*On the first page, the category bar reads <nowiki>[[Category:Boromir's Quest| ]]. The blank space after the | floats the page to the top of the index. If it read [[Category: Boromir's Quest|Z]], it would alphabetize the page under Z, no matter what the actual page title is. For most pages, it should simply be [[Category: Boromir's Quest]]. With no |, it alphabetizes by itself. </nowiki>--[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 17:02, 15 April 2007 (EDT)

== Category experiment. ==

I know we've discussed categories before, and that some people have decided that it's unnecessary to put every page of a story in a category. I disagree, personally, I think that the current method is too unorganized, and when I see a page in recent changes, I can't tell what story it belongs to. So as a compromise, I'm going to start assigning categories to one story ([[Dead Kid]]) as a trial. If it works out well, we move on the next story. If it doesn't work out, well, it doesn't work out. (IMO, this plan makes at least as much sense as starting all of the Victim pages with "Victim:"). — [[User:LastUserNameEver|LastUserNameEver]] 11:55, 15 March 2007 (EST)

I disagree. Although I do find it hard to tell what story certain pages go into (especially if no status bar was placed on the page), I don't think that categorys are needed for each story and individual page. Although I don't really mind experimenting, I just don't want you to kill yourself caregorizing every page on the site. [[User:Fruitbat|Fruitbat]]

I think having unique status bars for each story works just as well, but I have nothing against experimenting. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 13:10, 15 March 2007 (EST)

What is going on!? Categories are being placed for each and every story, even for the crumbling Island of Utobi! I don't know why everyone wants to categorize every page! Isn't ten categories enough? [[User:Fruitbat|Fruitbat]]

== fake link spamming ==

I have recieved the follwing message whan trying to edit main page:
"You have been identified as a link spammer by the use of the word sex.

If you are the admin of this wiki, you can go to the control panel for instructions on how to add this to the white list."
the word sex was not even written by me (in fcat I was just changing a 0 into a 5), but part of category descriptions, and if I were to try and delete all instnces of it, that would render one story unreadable. so... um... help?

[[User:A1s|A1s]] 17:58, 26 March 2007 (EST)

I used to get a similiar message if I tried to eidt the entire Main Page instead of just a section. It might let me do it now since I got promoted to sysop. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 18:03, 26 March 2007 (EST)

Oh yeah, that happened to me to. It ticked me off. However, I don't get it anymore (however, I don't think it's sysop, since it stopped before I was premoted). [[User:Fruitbat|Fruitbat]]

That just happened to me! After I lost all my writing work trying to save only to have it deleted when that message came up, I went to the Nonspam page, and it was blank! I don't know why it turned blank, but it ticked me off (I restored it back to normal). [[User:Fruitbat|Fruitbat]] 22:25, 06 April 2007 (EST)

== Secret Island of Utobi ==

*I want to know why the people in Secret Island of Utobi do their little 'ritual' of save-edit-save-edit.
*I'd like to know that, too, but they don't seem to be very communicative. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 18:32, 6 April 2007 (EDT)

And now, that story is becoming weird. I mean, first you're stranded on a desert island, and the next (if you choose the right path, of course)you come to a telephone booth where someone dropped their wallet. It would be best if the authors kept to the world of the story and didn't go overboard (this is also refering to a user who added pages like 'watch some TV' or 'go to the arcade' in [[Visiting the Zoo]]. [[User:Fruitbat|Fruitbat]]

Since I don't know the secret of the secret island, I couldn't say if finding a phone booth or a wallet is that strange... but [[Visiting the Zoo]] should certainly remain a story about visiting the zoo, and not wander off topic to visit anyplace other than the zoo. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 14:24, 17 April 2007 (EDT)

The users who are editing the Secret Island are getting on my last nerve! They never seem to read their mail. I even posted a notice telling them to read their mail on a page they were editing, and they ignore it! I've given 68.216.187.39 user his last warning...[[User:Fruitbat|Fruitbat]]

If any of you can't stand Utobi, go to Wikipedia and add a list of critisms about the story.

Huh? We aren't objecting to the story. We are asking you, repeatedly, to please stop filling up the Recent Changes page by doing you edit-save-edit-save-edit routine. Use the Preview button and consider what you want the page to contain before saving it. Or better still, create an identity for yourself.

== A Trump Idea ==

Well I'm bored nowadays and I was wondering if I could make a trump game choose stat thing. I'm gonna make it small with 10 cards and each card only having 4 stats but I thought it would be kinda cool. If I do bother it would probably be Final Fantasy games from 1 - 10 including no FF and year and characters and something else. What do you guys think about this idea?

==SSR page-jump==
Since ssr (Smutty Sex Romp) is such a HUGE story, I think it might be cool to have a section on it's main page where you can select certain areas in the "story" to go to. There are certain areas that are near impossible to go to once you have to start over, so this could be an optional thing for people who want to find somewhere quickly or start from a certain place. --[[User:Kazemawari]]

There are several options for finding specific areas. On the status bar, there's a spot for Location. Click on the location and you'll go to a brief description of it. From this description page, click on the category, which is Smutty Sex Romp Locations. This will take you to the index of all locations in the story. Click on any of them to get the description, and from that page, click on the left where it says 'what links here'. That will give you a list of pages in that location.

This is why it's important to include the status bar on any page you create. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 20:55, 16 September 2007 (EDT)

I think it's a good idea with some games like world's end though, where there are no list of locations. I added one. Good idea. --[[User:Ashogo|Ashogo]]

==Since I'm Still Working on Ideas, Still Incredibly New on Programming, . . .==

And I can't be here 24/7, what state should I leave unfinished pages in? I tried reading the rules, but now I can't find them anymore. I'd ''really'' like to not get banned. And for for those unfinished stories I add to (that aren't mine), is there a safe "time limit" I ought to adhere to? For instance, if authors come back from vacation/work/life/whatever and have been absent for three months, find I've added to their story in a way they don't like, I'll back off from their story (they have every right to take their stories wherever they see fit, within the rules, anyway). But should I stay away from any in particular?

I guess the safest bet would be just to start my own stories up, which I plan to do . . .

Don't worry too much. I'm the only active member with the power to ban people, and I only ban people for vandalism. I do appreciate it if you finish an individual page once you've started it. That is, it should include options so other writers can carry the story onward if you don't (unless the page is an ending), and should include the status bar/category from the previous page, as appropriate. You can always edit the page's contents later if you feel it needs more work.

The only story I would advise against adding to at this time is Paladin, since it has a rather complex structure and [[User: I Lion Heart I]] has been putting a lot into it recently. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 18:51, 26 March 2008 (EST)

Wow Paladin 2 is big.

== Can't create an adventure ==

For some reason when I try to create an adventure via the create a wiki link, I can't seem to do it. It always tells me there is no wiki by that name and asks me to create one. But when I do, the same thing happens. Any help with this?

You don't click the creat a wiki link to creat your adventure, you click to edit the section you wish, like kids stories, normal stories and that kind of stuff. Then once you edit it you can copy a story link there, and paste it were it goes. Then you change the name of that to your story. After that you click on hit to edit it.

== Deleteting some adventures. ==

There is alot of adventures which contains only like one or two pages or is simply work in progress, i think that we should consider deleting some of them to make it easier for all of us too find the adventure we are looking for. That is at least what i think.

--[[User:FreddeX|FreddeX]] 11:43, 25 October 2008 (PDT)

I've considered doing that, but every now and then someone comes along and takes a story that's been sitting around going nowhere and turns it into something. That [[Harry Potter]] adventurer, for example, had only a few pages for the longest time and then people began adding to it. [[Rampage]] had about five barely readable pages until I re-wrote it in proper English and since then many others have added to it.

On the other hand, some of those one- or two-page stories are truly awful and it's hard to imagine anyone ever adding to them. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 12:43, 25 October 2008 (PDT)

How about we implant a new rule,
If a story does not have X amount of pages, it be marked as Under Construction? [[User:Mask man|Mask man]] 19:50, 27 October 2008 (PDT)

ya sounds good but even if some arnt being worked on we should still keep a few of the good ideas. For example i have strarted working on Zombie blood last week when it only hade 1 page on it.[[User:Power8|Power8]]

I think what I'll do is create a Pit of Abandoned Stories page. Any story of less than ten pages which hasn't been touched in over a month gets dropped off the Main Page and into the Pit. Anyone who gets inspired by an abandoned story may freely remove it from the Pit and add to it. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 10:50, 28 October 2008 (PDT)

== Maybe an Idea? ==

I've been wanting to make a more formal one like these for a while, I've made http://writtenadventures.com in attempt to do so, but you can't add to someone else's adventures. I'm not sure if people more like to add to others' stories, or write their own from start to finish.

'''Note:''' If this is considered spam in anyway please delete it immediately, I don't mean it to be at all, just Wiki seems to be a little complicated.

From what I've seen, some people here hate having their stories touched by other people, and some people love to add to stories in progress or start stories that they hope others will add to. We get all types here. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 16:18, 27 November 2008 (PST)

From the first post of this discussion: ''"This is a great idea, but the problem is that the story lacks focus. Everyone is just adding to it in crazy directions with some adult content thrown in. Although I guess its funny, it will never be a story."''

That's the reason I made it non-editable by everyone, but yeah, I see how some like to see what others would add to their story, I would in some cases. I was thinking about have 1 master adventure editable by everyone, make one long one and not as many short ones, but I'm not sure that's the best idea because some people have different tastes & styles.

== Sort Order ==

Perhaps we should sort stories by number of pages rather than alphabetical. It will make it easier for new users to find good stories.

But it would make it impossible for new users to find their own newer stories. And the alphabet never changes, while the number of pages in stories does. The list would keep getting re-ordered and dis-ordered. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 14:33, 17 February 2009 (PST)

I think an editor's selection might accomplish the same end. Have a section that links to only the "best" stories. Or to the finished ones. I think that'd be a great idea. You could even have a page that you link to from the main page that accomplishes the same thing. --[[User:Rawar|Rawar]] 12:11, 24 March 2009 (PDT)

==Relocation==
Have you ever considered moving the wiki? EditThis.info is riddled with problems. Since I organised to move one of my wikis to Wikia (and later moved my other one) everything has been fine. Here, everytime I try to open a page, it takes <s>double, possibly triple as long as</s> '''much''' longer than it does everywhere else.

I say Wikia, it's the only good wiki host I know of. Far more reliable, and reacts quicker to problems you may have. There's always WikiaStaff to help. More possible things on Wikia's MediaWiki than here too.

Or is this wiki owned by RobKohr and therefore moving it from EditThis.info isn't an option? [[User:I Lion Heart I|I Lion Heart I]] 08:15, 8 April 2009 (PDT)

RobKohr is the admin for this wiki. I'm only a sysop, and I have that status because RobKohr granted it to me. So I don't think that moving is really an option. EditThis isn't always as reliable as I'd like, but I don't think it's that bad, either.

I do wish we could choose to turn that annoying captcha on or off, though. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 10:16, 8 April 2009 (PDT)

::Captcha is the only thing that has proven effective against link spammers, and so there isn't really any other choice, especially since this wiki is so popular. If it was turned off a link spammer would create an account, and an automatic process would be used to fill the wiki with spam. There are many alternative ways that I could attempt to fight them, but after going through that for a few months, I am not eager to do it again. Hopefully the speed is a little better now. It takes 4 seconds to load a page when logged in (logged in users don't get the advantage of the cache since your logged in details need to show in the top right).--[[User:RobKohr|RobKohr]] 11:31, 9 June 2009 (PDT)

:::Extra note - while wikia is faster, it is also dependent on outside funding to stay afloat. Editthis.info has remained slightly cash positive since it's creation and is likely to be around for a much longer time that wikia. ( http://valleywag.gawker.com/5065979/wikia-lays-off-30-percent-of-staff ). Plus their TOS state that obscene content is not allowed on their site, and CYOA has plenty of obscene content. This doesn't go against EDI's TOS. --[[User:RobKohr|RobKohr]] 13:51, 9 June 2009 (PDT)

Link spammers were indeed a problem, but that problem ceased completely once I stopped allowing anonymous users to post. The captcha frequently bombs out, preventing new edits on pages with external links on them. Its existence has become far more annoying than the link spammers. I could revert their pathetic edits and block their IP addresses, but when the captcha bombs repeatedly, there's no way to fight it.--[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 12:12, 9 June 2009 (PDT)
::I will try to implement a more stable version of captcha. Though link spam has not hit CYOA heavily, it has hit other wikis and every page ends up with the spam. This would be unrecoverable on a wiki as large as CYOA (at least not without reverting the whole database).

Seriously though, I hope nobody minds that I added a Featured story of the week and Quote of the day section to the Main Page, renamed the age groupings, created some new Categories and basically just did a whole lot of crazy stuff.--[[User:Occono|Occono]] 12:24, 28 May 2009 (PDT)

Adding some new categories does help a bit, since the list of stories is ever-growing. And if you really want to to a quote of the week, feel free. But your Featured Story blurb is inaccurate. At 375+ pages, Crusader is longer than average, but not nearly as long as [[Smutty Sex Romp]] (almost 8500 pages!) or even [[The many rooms]] (1300+ pages) --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 14:26, 28 May 2009 (PDT)

Ah OK. Thanks for the input.--[[User:Occono|Occono]] 14:38, 28 May 2009 (PDT)

I like the new look! I think it's a bit more friendly. The featured story part will be neat. It'll make it easier to find the good ones. :-)--[[User:Rawar|Rawar]] 10:59, 31 May 2009 (PDT)

Thanks! :) I sort of forgot about this place for a long while, got distracted by important real-life stuff, but I'm back now and I'll try and set up a nominations system for the Featured Story like I intended to.--[[User:Occono|Occono]] 12:06, 29 June 2009 (PDT)

I'd like to that you for using a line from my story "[[Another Pointless Story]]" as the Featured Quote. --[[User:jeffthedork|jeffthedork]] 21:29, 24 August 2009 (PDT)

You're welcome! :)--[[User:Occono|Occono]] 12:43, 13 September 2009 (PDT)

== Category by Ratings ==
rather than having all the stories listed directly on the main page, wouldn't it be easier to move the stories to separate pages listed by their ratings? For instance having a page that leads to the all ages stories, another page that leads to the adult stuff, etc etc. It would make the main page itself a lot easier and also help keep kids from stumbling across story titles that aren't exactly kid friendly.
[[User:Oddball|Oddball]] 13:50, 31 August 2009 (PDT)

It's an idea I've considered, but so many people seem to find adding a new story difficult as is. I'm afraid of complicating matters any further. Any other opinions? --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 14:11, 31 August 2009 (PDT)

Personally, I don't see how it would be any harder. All it would mean was that you'd be adding a story to one page instead of the other.
[[User:Oddball|Oddball]] 14:48, 31 August 2009 (PDT)

Have you seen how many ways people have managed to goof it up as it is? --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 17:34, 31 August 2009 (PDT)

== Nominations ==

I have nominated Harry Potter as featured story, since nearly a month has passed since Evolution was nominated. I also added a past nominations page to track which stories have been nominated. I *think* Red October came before Evolution, so I added it to that page. On the past nominations page, I also added a line to suggest that at least a week go by before a new story is nominated. Given that nominations have been infrequent so far, I don't think it'll be an issue, but hey. If someone decides to set up a more formal system (or tweak what I've implemented), that's okay with me, but I figured that we should have something a bit more organized for now. --[[User:Rawar|Rawar]] 14:48, 8 October 2009 (PDT)

== Tips for better writing ==

*When it comes to the order of choices, it only makes sense that more immediate, instinctual, reaction kinds of choices go toward the top, passive, fleeing choices go at the bottom, and anything else (ie: choices with more thought behind them) ordered into something of a spectrum between (quick, aggressive near the top, to slow, submissive near the bottom). [[User:NightChime|NightChime]] 01:05, 19 October 2009 (PDT)

*Irony RARELY needs to be pointed out. If it's really ironic, the reader can figure that out, and they get to feel good about themselves if you don't blatantly tell them to recognize the situation as ironic. IE: Ironically, I'm not following my advice! This mindset of trusting the reader to use his/her brain is often a good idea in a broader sense when writing. For example, instead of saying "With autumn on the leave, winter was coming" (known author Terry Goodkind wrote that almost word for word in one of his books), which in itself is just stupidly redundant, you can say something like "The trees have shed most of their orange leaves." -[[User:NightChime|NightChime]] 13:51, 19 October 2009 (PDT)

== "New stories" section ==

Just an idea, but maybe there should be a section on the main page for "new stories", for people who like to help new starts get off the ground. Or "new members." It could replace or be in addition to its age group listing. "New stories" could have requirements, like under 30 pages, and started less than two months ago, and "New members" likewise. Though, basing eligibility on amount of content, and "kicking out" for having too much seems a little counterproductive; someone might hold back for a while just so they get more attention as a "new member?" However, time constraints alone wouldn't have that affect, and that way less-prolific writers don't have this almost "noob" label hovering over their head just because they don't log in as often. Any thoughts? -[[User:NightChime|NightChime]] 14:17, 19 October 2009 (PDT)

It's an idea worth considering, but moving things out of the 'new' category will end up being yet another job for me, the one lonely sysop. As it is, I've had to give up on some of the writers who refuse to even try using anything resembling English grammar and I spend too much time adding categories and undoing story crosses for those who can't be bothered. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 15:42, 19 October 2009 (PDT)

After I "settle in", if I hit a "plateau" of activity, then I'd be willing to take the responsibility. When an author puts their story up, if they include the starting date it would be a lot easier to determine the expiration date. Of course, they would be in chronological order, so nobody could really be up for "too long," and there'd be no easy way to "trick the system." Not trying to change your mind, just brainstorming a little more. -[[User:NightChime|NightChime]] 03:51, 20 October 2009 (PDT)

Could be interesting. There are a lot of "new stories", though. I'm afraid that half of the stories here might fall into the under 30 pages criterium. Dating the creation of a story might be a good idea, though. Then we'd know when to throw them into the "Pit of abandoned stories".

How would a new member's section be useful? Few of the members really contribute to discussions or seem to want to do more than edit their stories. I think more cross-person interaction would be a good thing, though. I've never felt like a noob here, just like no one wants to talk to me. ;-)

Slightly off topic.--- Platypus: regarding the category adding, it might be worthwhile to put a link to a tutorial on wiki syntax on the main page or something. When I started, I pretty much just copied the main page template and hoped for the best. I know what I'm doing better now, but it might be helpful for people who're just starting. --[[User:Rawar|Rawar]] 10:36, 21 October 2009 (PDT)

There's some information under the 'Help' section, but maybe someone should add more. And make it more obvious that the link is there. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 10:44, 21 October 2009 (PDT)

*Alrighty. I can take that on. --[[User:Rawar|Rawar]] 10:51, 21 October 2009 (PDT)

== Off-site CYOA ==

MS Paint Adventures - [http://www.mspaintadventures.com]

Various humorous antics presented in a style something of a mix of CYOA and text-based computer adventures. While there aren't actually multiple choices for where the adventure leads (with a few exceptions), visitors can leave suggestions for what the next action should be, and the result is often hilarity. -[[User:NightChime|NightChime]] 16:31, 19 October 2009 (PDT)

== Just wondering ==

Hey, I was just wondering. Are there any contests on this website that host the best CYOA's? If so, I'd like to enter my [[13 years]] story in a contest to do with best storytelling. Is that possible?--[[User:Blablob|Blablob]] 05:10, 23 October 2009 (PDT)

There are no contests on this website. If there were, grammar and punctuation would count as storytelling elements. 13 years is certainly an improvement over Icarly in that respect, but it could still use some editting, especially with punctuating the dialogue properly and remembering that an elipsis is three periods, not however many you feel like typing. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 07:08, 23 October 2009 (PDT)

== Updated the pit ==

I went through the stories under ten pages and moved ones that haven't been edited since June 09 (for the shorter ones) or February 09 (for the slightly longer ones) to the Pit of Abandoned Stories. I was a bit zealous and moved a couple 14 page stories into the pit. I know that's not standard, but they hadn't been touched for about a year, and the story hadn't really moved in the pages that do exist. I tried to make absolutely sure that the stories I moved hadn't been updated in some time, but if I made an error and moved a story you wanted to work on, just move it back. I also updated page counts for the stories I checked. --[[User:Rawar|Rawar]] 14:11, 28 October 2009 (PDT)

== Site's acting wierd ==
The last two or three days I've tried accessing this site I've occasionally gotten MySql errors relating to login. Only the error message shows up, and I can't view the main page or any other pages. When I actually do get on, pages load unusually slowly. Is there some maintenance going on or something? Is anyone else getting these errors, or is the problem on my end?

Also, I'm getting a warning message relating to the length of this discussion page. Perhaps it would be prudent to archive some of the old topics. --[[User:Rawar|Rawar]] 13:44, 17 November 2009 (PST)

== some old ideas ==

i used to be really into making choose your own adventures, and have some ideas others might want to use or w/e. If you have an idea of a map u wanna make, make each room or place you can stand a new page, then link them together, so the player can explore freely without each option simply branching off to two others until the player wins or loses. This system i found leads to more in depth player options.
Also with the system above, you can have a full day and night cycle, where you split the day into a few segments (eg. morning, evening, night) then rewrite the entire world for each segment, then whenever you have the option to wait or sleep or whatever, the time of day changes one over, into the same spot your standing at. This way you can have a village or whatever, but have people sleeping and shopping at different times, giving the world a little more life.
