229, I see what you mean now. Forgive my missing something so obvious. gene.sis we're on different pages. You're right, the threads can make plot choices like that, but that's not what I mean. I was talking more specifically about leading the story. Basically, with a normal CHYOA story, it's...

Well, you said no time limits. Both of my example games exist without time limits, and everyone ultimately investigates everything anyway. They do more heavily emphasize deductions and how conversations are handled than the actual investigations. However, that also results in a number of...

Well, probably the best example would be the Jisei series from sakevisual, in particular Kansei. By outward appearances of the house, there doesn't seem to be any suspicious objects lying around. However, investigating the boxes in the basement reveals documents pertaining to some of the...

First and foremost: Game Mode. It generates a check list for physical evidence by itself with the boolean variables, can be used to measure relationships with suspects and witnesses to impact how forthcoming they are with the numerical variables, hiding the progress variables would make it...

For clarity, it would be a good idea if the eroticism was downplayed. As mystery fiction or thriller, this would be half-decent just due to how much more growth is allowed and the greater number of options. Well, this could change once the full files are released, but that's the realm of...

I meant I'm the guy who knows torture, rape, and murder to the point I creep the fuck out of everyone who chooses to venture down that rabbit hole. Case and point: All I can picture after reading that is Charlene leading the girls to the van between images of back-alley abortions in the name...

Fully aware this is a tangent, but: N is what's called a Nasal Consonant, which means part of the sound is generated by blocking air from escaping through the mouth and instead forcing it out the nose. If you focus, even without attempting to elongate the N sound, you can feel your nose...

Funny. I was thinking the same about you. Except the hesitation only exists because there's no precedent. Once the comments begin to pile up, the precedent is set, and thus the only qualm is whether or not they believe their preference is any good. Well, if we look at it purely from the...

There's that vibe again. The one that says no one is reading posts by others. Deliver this scenario to the next step, and you're right back to my first post of the topic: Users figure out they have to comment to get what they want and this behavior becomes normal. Once it's normal, the value of...

So all that matters is getting what you want, and not the equality and fairness of the situation? No, the real questions are: How high is the demand? If implemented, will it be used regularly, or is it a simple one-off feature meant to place note chapters in a more aesthetically pleasing...

When you're going to reply to someone, it helps to read whole posts. In fact, whole sentences would be an adequate substitution. The reason for the comment is to clarify what the reader wants more of. And it will prove necessary. Let's look at two examples: Suppose someone clicks "I want more...

And I believe the reason listed was that the CHYOO-era threads made the concept impossible to retroactively apply.

So you'd rather a stock phrase with points over a customized message of no statistical value? Personally, if I were to click that button, the next thing I'm doing is comment and clarify what I like about the thread and what about it I want perpetuated. But once that's accompished, the button...

Hey, why stop there? Let's go all the way back to CHYOO! The magical original version where: Ratings were done on a scale of 1 to 5, which means Dislikes were possible. Self-rating was not allowed. Comments were visible only to the thread writer. Submitting a comment could only be done if the...

Already done. By you, Nemo of Utopia. And it was after I suggested something similar. Sort of. It wasn't a formal idea, rather something for Hypnoticus to use as justification of the request for a return to self-Liking, but the idea to reveal the identity of every Like ever in a more efficient...

Just enlighten me to one thing: what is essential about the freedom to self-Like? Now see, if Hypnoticus had simply requested this sort of action - Like what you enjoy - and removed any sort of connection to the loss of previous abilities, no one would have cared. It would have been Like...

Did you just make an assumption about me? Yes, you present it as an equal partnership while you in fact clean up on the deal. Basic misrepresentation. So rather than present the obvious solution to the first problem, you instead want to abolish any possibility of fixing it? Okay, fine. I...

I just want to remind you of something you said: But hey, in the interest of getting this method off the ground, go ahead and rate the stuff off I've got on the Kaitou1412 account. Sure, it's not my writer account, but hey, Likes on forum posts count just as much. It's not like I've ever...

The quest had already been completed. All that remained was investigating an apparent oversight that failed to retroactively apply it. Here's what you and I (and I believe everybody) can agree on: all self-Likes should be cleared if the ability is removed completely. As someone who didn't...
