[X] Skip it, tutorials are for other people.

 

Okay, I'll give this thread until later tomorrow before I close the voting on the first story post, at the least. I'd make a reply right now, but that wouldn't be right, not in my book. Besides... I need to get my sleep sometime.

 

[X] View the tutorial.

I give people shit often enough for not reading the manual, no excuse to make the same mistkae.

 

Oh, right, on a note that I forgot to mention sooner... just because there's four different slots for party members on the gDoc doesn't mean that only four people will be party members of Issei's parties regardless. Make of that what you will.

Okay, so I managed to finish transcribing the different types of character sheets Issei and whoever else will be able to use, even if they're currently blank right now. I still need to determine who is in what party and so on... or you guys can vote on that in-thread later.

...*ahem* In any case, still need to do the Gamer-style statuses, so I'll be busy doing that when I get the chance. Besides, as it stands, there's no skills that are usable by you guys in terms of The Gamer just yet. Granted, if you choose the Tutorial, you might get some decent skills... but at what cost in-story?

Also on my to-do list is make the items that are unique to this story, then I have to come up with creating unique skills eventually, plus start filling in the complete bestiary and completed quests. Of course, the last one is not applicable just yet, given the situation.

You might want to change the Choices into bracket type like this:
[] He'd view the tutorial
[] He's skip the tutorial

So people can be lazier and just type X into the bracket instead of deleting.

Ah, right, thanks for the advice, touhou ranfuku. Sadly, it's been a while since I actually did a quest where I was the Quest Master... so I'll keep that in mind starting with the next round of voting.

Speaking of voting, I didn't mean to cut the voting short by a day, but I'm going to have to call this round of voting to a close. I'll have the next post of this chapter up in due time. Therefore, viewing the tutorial wins, guys.

 

[x] Observe his backpack

 

Okay... going to give this time to possibly gain more votes. I'd say about the end of the week at most?

 

[X] Observe a tree that was a few feet from his location

The backpack seems like it could be observed anytime easy, might as well check out the object that we are unlikely to ever pay attention to again instead. That way if it secretly has some treasure or something it it we will find it now.

 

Which likely would cost more time and Issei's later for school.

I know this might sound rude but can you somehow make the update longer? Like 1000 words? There's so little action or plot advance in the update and it makes me feel like 'yeah this gonna take a long time until the characters do something's worthy to look at.'

[X] Observe his backpack

 

I'm honestly grateful you considered that consequence. However, I'll be perfectly honest in that there's something in the area, which is not in the backpack (supposing that people still wish to choose the backpack at this time). However, it does not quite mean it's treasure, since it could easily mean a tutorial enemy (or quest... the kind you'd find in a video game).

Nah, I know it's not rude, since you explained your reasoning for it. I'll do what I can to update longer, even if I can't quite guarantee it, since I have things I need to do sometimes.

 

Or we could wait and observe the backpack when Issei doesn't have any time constraints. I specifically said it could be observed any time, not we can observe it right after we observe the other thing.

 

[X] Observe his backpack

 

Okay... I have a winner so far, but I don't know whether or not the vote is closed this early (simply because I'd prefer to close the votes by a minimum of a 4 vote lead). If you guys think I should close the vote now and apply a different way of determining the result as a trial run, please tell me. Just note that I don't plan to take away votes, and that doing so would be detrimental to the system I have in mind, for your information.

...so, here's the planned method I have in mind. You guys vote on updates, I give it time to go through, I close the vote after a minimum of 24 hours, and I roll a die (with a modifier on it) to determine which result it goes to. The modifier would be based on the total number of voters since the previous update... which, in this case, is 4. The option with the most votes is given a better score to beat than the option(s) with less votes... with unvoted options having an impossible score.

Sound good?

EDIT: ...wait. How did both of them win? My math needs some work, doesn't it?

Oh well, the backpack result will have to wait a while (though it won't be forgotten).

 

No. Why should I vote if its only a dice modifier?

 

...ouch. Okay, never mind that idea, then.

...now what do I do with the content that I had written up based on the idea that I had come up with in my previous post?

 

I think it is an idea that can be good, but it would be more of a specialized voting kind of thing. For example, if we had 3 quests that Issei was going to do for sure, and the vote was for which to focus on then using votes as a dice modifier for the quests could work out well. On the other hand, if we are voting on what to do at all it kind of leaves people feeling like their vote doesn't really matter, because dice determine everything anyway.

 

Is that... so? Well, that works better than how I initially wanted to do it, thankfully.

So, just as clarification, I wrote almost 1k in words for the next update under the assumption that the tree would be the first to be Observed. Do you guys want me to...

[] Rewrite the update to be about the backpack (will take more time than option 2)
[] Stick with the tree as most of the content of the update by the end of this (is less voter compliant than option 1)
[] Write-in

 

[X] Rewrite the update to be about the backpack (will take more time than option 2)

Given that I can't see any way that the tree won I don't see why you wrote about that first. Of course you could have Issei observe both if you wanted, and just have him observe the backpack first. That way what you wrote would still be used, you would just need to reorder it is all.

[X] Rewrite the update to be about the backpack (will take more time than option 2)

 

Alright, you guys, before I fully rewrite the update, I need an opinion. When the backpack is done being observed, do you guys want to...

[] Observe the tree
[] Go straight to the school

This will determine how much time I need to post the update this time around.

*EDIT*: Scratch that. I'll rewrite the whole thing to be about the backpack only. Sorry for the inconvenience.
