One point for the winning choice. We get an extra bunch if we reach a legit ending, and not a death/dead-end.
And a crap-ton for custom choices (which is how I bumped up to 28) XD

If you mean voting inside a story, as usual yes. But if you're talking about voting for the next story... I don't see why not? Even if your choice didn't make it, I'll be fair still.
Of course, everything is still under consideration. Until then, I cannot confirm everything Feline-Grenadier says.
Mmm... I think I need to learn a bit more about the point system... anyways, seems like the final choose will be soon!
After accumulating enough points, you choose a prize. I'm working on the final prize, but not if the second place prize is needed more.
You get 1 point for voting on a choice in a story, and there's a possibility to get 2 points in bonus rounds, which are non-normal voting sessions (Make our own desicions, only 2 choices, etc.) If we finish a story well, you get points. There used to be achievements, but not anymore.
Thanks for pointing out guys, I really should write up an FAQ soon to make things easy for all of us.
Now I think I understood a bit better this.
One more day before the voting is counted, so rally up your fellow friends if you haven't! The more the merrier; we have a celebration to make!
Things got delayed a little, but nonetheless, the results are in! Obviously we have a clear winner, but if you're a lazy counter, here are the votes:
I. Another Favour 7 votes
II. Termination 4 votes
Another Favour rules out as our choice for this episode! Expect the first chapter to roll out soon within a week at the latest.
(P.S. Whether the cake is a lie, it all depends on your depth of knowledge in baking.)
I'm sad that we won't explore the monologues yet, but I'm excited to see how this anniversary-related story will go! I look forward to seeing it come up onto the forums and I'm ready to participate in it! :D
Happy to see the results ^-^
Now... To the kitchen mates, we have kakes to bake!
I'll vote for Terminator
@Snowdusk Welcome back :D
Sorry, the voting session is indeed over, and the results are out. Still, I'm glad to see you come on time!
What's biscotti gonna bake this time? Evil French pastries?
Maybe Devilites will start throwing cookies in this series.
5/25: Snowdusk, when do you think you'll be planning on getting this started up? I'm greatly looking forward to seeing how it will turn out - hope that everything is well with you!
6/5: Hm...and nothing else has been done since. I'm bumping this thread because I'm hoping that it'll get seen again and maybe jumpstarted, as well as the fact that I'm horribly committed to anything I put time into and I don't want to see this die. :)
Snow just started a new term at school and is pretty busy at the moment. He hasn't forgotten!
Gotcha - thanks for letting us all know. I had figured it'd be something like that, but I wanted to confirm since he had seemed available to work on this at the time! :)
First of all, I want to apologise (again) for being inactive (or rather abandoning the forums, you might say). I'm really sorry and I really mean it. As much as I love the SK community, I want to keep my hands busy in writing in the forums.
But then, there's the "real life" part. The part where you have to make decisions. I want to focus, and frankly speaking, the forums got in the way somehow. Besides, if I can't even properly enjoy writing a story, what's the point?
This happened before a year ago, so some of you might not be surprised if I give the same reason. But then again, I will return, just like I did.
Just in case, before I choose to leave the forums a long, long time again, I want to say thank you to everyone who stayed and waited while I left without saying a word. Especially Kanoka, who were always there no matter what, and Tevokkia, for supporting me as always. I can probably assume that lots of people have given up on this forum post due to my carelessness, but I hope that when I come back, I can see old faces again, or even better, new ones who are interested in the RP-kind of SK fiction. That would be great :)
See you again next time!
Sorry to hear that you're taking leave again for a while, but I completely understand needing to focus on real life and focusing on what's truly important. I appreciate you taking the time to notify us of how you're doing! :)
I hope that you're able to take this time to refresh and do what you need to get done, so that when you come back in the future you can create another great story as you have before! :D I'll continue to check when I have the chance, so you'll be sure to have at least one follower when the time comes. Good luck with your life stuff, and I look forward to seeing you back afterwards!
It's alright to be honest, real life always comes before gaming. And besides, even if you leave the forums for a long time- you will return back, right? I wish you for the best for you in real life! Hope to see you back here in the forums soon!
Good thing Biscotti won't get the spotlight this time...
@Kanoka
Actually, I should apologize for not notifying you guys earlier when I sense my schedule tightening up. Frankly speaking, I thought of delaying the story-writing, but not for this long. Eventually I told myself I have to deal with it, so that explains why it took me weeks to post up the note. And thanks for willing to stay till the end, though it won't be a good feeling to be all alone, haha!
@Infernus-Dragneel
Yes of course, as long as the internet lives... :P
Well, I'm sorry to say that I still intend to write on Biscotti the next time (I can't forgive myself on missing that anniversary special...). You will certainly hear more from her in the future! Though the story will not be talking about an anniversary party...
Edit: Thanks a lot Tev for posting up the note while I'm away. I almost forgot to thank you, so I'll do it now while I still remember.
Snowdusk,
It's nice having a notice from you. I can't wait for your next fanfic. :D
Sorry you have to be so busy, but hope you can have fun writing these.
Well helloooooo. :P
Incidentally, if any of you are looking for a better CYO writing tool online - Inkle Studios I ran across it since I've been wanting to give the CYO stuff a go. Interface is a ton more intuitive than any others I've seen. Including ChooseYourStory, which I noticed got a mention above.
But yeah. I don't have much game time lately - but I have creative bursts. I'm a writer by nature, so you'll be seeing me around :)
@Valerax
Thanks for the link, but I prefer if the story is not being set up so deliberately, and I want to do something different and let the readers do all the plot-driving for me. If this is requested highly, I will give a try someday :)
Now for a quick note to everyone: As you can see I'm still alive and well, watching over this post despite of my busy times. I'm going to have a long holiday after a month, so expect the first chapter being served soon, freshly baked! Thanks again for your patience.
In the meantime, here's a little thing I made up, for a special someone who had a meltdown, literally: http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/85760
I hope that although life is busy, you're doing well. I've missed checking the forums every-so-often, but I completely understand life getting crazy - high school starts back up for me next week, so I won't have nearly as much free time as I've gotten used to this summer.
I'll look forward to seeing that first chapter come out! I'm sure it'll be worth the patience, so I'm glad to wait. :) I did enjoy your rendition of "Only Want You Gone" from Portal 2 - definitely made me laugh a bit. :D Perhaps you'll do more SK-related versions of videogame songs in the future?
Greetings, knights! The once populated series of Choose Your Adventure is now ready to launch, because my hectic days are over! (for now)
But honestly, there's a lot I have to say, so I'll cut this post into digestable chunks and recap everything as quickly as I can. I don't usually summarise stuff like this, but I'll try.
a) Wait for enough people who previously voted on that story to return, but it would be time-consuming
b) Move on and carry out the story anyway, but there may not be enough people to carry out the votes for chapters.
c) Restart the previous vote OR make a new voting session with new choices. (Another Favour was meant to be done as an anniversary special, but being delayed for a few months kind of missed the meaning behind it. Nevertheless it's something to celebrate our great achievement in the community, and all the madness around Biscotti currently. By that I mean the pet alchemy machine and the Gourmet Prize Boxes.)
My main focus here is to see if we have enough people to engage into the story together. If the reception is high, I'll carry out what everyone is thinking about doing. Otherwise, it's back to the starting point for me.
Well, guess that wasn't a short recap after all. To summarise it even more: leave a note if you're an old-timer, tell us what you think about the old votes, and simply wave if you wanna join the party.
The door to adventure awaits you!
Well, I think we should start a new voting session. I wasn't too particularly fond of the community's vote last time, and the months that have passed may have changed our tastes in stories.
btw I want it to be Another Favour. Can post-caketastrophe plox?
I'm with Vinny.
I don't really want Another Favour.
Snow, do you have Another Favor planned out? Or not, or do you have a plot for them all already?
If only having a prologue and a couple of chapters count, then yes. (Of course, with some rough ideas of characters, story development, and theme taken into account, but nothing too detailed.)
Just like I've always said, I never elaborately plan out the entire plot. Everyone can twist the story into something out of the ordinary.
That's what I meant. Then voting.
I agree with Vin/Feline and Art, the mood kinda died.
I'm personally still up for Another Favor - if the consensus is to not do it, then that's fine with me, but I don't mind continuing what you already had planned. I can see the valor in voting again so that those who actually are here are able to get the story that they'd like to have, but I'm neutral. :)
I'm still here, and I don't care what you do. I vote for whatever one you feel would be best.
so do we get 1 point for voting?
