>Formatting guide for everyone: Dice (type this in “options”): dice + [no. of dice]d[no. of sides on the dice] (optionally you can add modifiers: dice + [no. of dice]d[no. of sides on the dice]+[modifier]; for a negative modifier type: +-[modifier]
Examples: dice+1d100 = a 1d100 roll, dice+1d100+10 = a 1d100 roll with a +10 modifier.

>QM Question: Do you worry much about board preferences and tastes when coming up with or running a quest? Do you make active efforts to tailor your output to what is "popular," or do you just do your own thing?
>Player Question: What do you look for an appreciate most in a quest: quality of prose/artwork, an appealing setting or world, an interesting plothook, or is it all about the
waifus characters for you?
>General Question: Do you think /qst/ has enough activity, and has had enough good candidates, for anotehr king/queen tourney this year? Who would you nominate?
>Lurker Question: Why not at least +1 or comment on the updates so the QM knows someone is appreciating their work?</span>

Well I know Romeo Costa, Second Prince of Farea, is absolutely not going to win because he is kind of a stupid chud whose only tether to his mortal coil is his car.

>>6377336 This is a very neat concept, which I'll be checking out when I have time.
>>6377307 Cool OP image, though I will say I think it popped better in the version with the black background IMO.
>>6377266 Holy shit, we're back! I'll be getting back into this, too.
>>6377350 I think you may be overthinking it a bit, bud. You're doing an excellent job so far.

>>6377412 Thanks. Would be glad to have you! It was born from a rewatch of Wangan Midnight, the release of all the Ridge Racer OST on official music services, and finally the realization that despite letting you tune and drive Noctis’s car, FFXV does not feature street racing.

>>6377446 Should I be concerned at responses and votes becoming less frequent?
DemBones !!kuHaJ5dacSC
>>6377519 No, it's natural. People have lives outside of /qst/ and this board, as people have mentioned before in this thread, is a lot slower than /tg/ was. Just run your quest, dude
DemBones !!kuHaJ5dacSC
>>6377519 And if you're really, truly worried you can poll your players in-thread with targeted questions. Stuff like "How do you all think of the choices being presented? Is the pace okay? Any feedback on the dialogue?"
RAWA !!sBvwM/KcEXL
>>6377522 What, like a strawpoll?
DemBones !!kuHaJ5dacSC
>>6377524 No, like actually asking in the thread for feedback. QMs do it all the time
RAWA !!sBvwM/KcEXL
>>6377525 I have, like, one anon usually responds, if any.

>>6377526 How long do you leave in-between votes. Sometimes you just gotta wait for votes to trickle in, but there will be lulls, mostly because of what
>>6377521 said. It's a weekend as well, which is the slowest time of the week for /qst/, so keep that in mind.

>>6377537 >It was an hour, now I've extended it to two Brother, this board is slower than a glacier, two hours is often not enough for people to even register an update has happened. Voters might not even have time to register you're online before you spit out three or four updates.
This isn't /tg/. It's fine to wait a while, man.
RAWA !!sBvwM/KcEXL
>>6377544 Is 4+ hours for a vote normal?

>>6377553 I go for 24 hours personally. or around that.
DemBones !!kuHaJ5dacSC
Quoted By:
>>6377553 There's no 'ideal' timeframe, but consider this: players have jobs. Players have plans on the weekend (sometimes). Players are in different timezones. I can't say with absolute certainty that, like, you should give 4-5 hours between calling votes, but you also shouldn't start to sweat if it's been an hour or two and you haven't gotten a vote.
I'd recommend looking at some other quests on the catalog for reference--see how often they update and how many votes they usually proceed on. Sometimes you'll just struggle with getting more than 1-2 votes, sometimes you'll get a boatload in a short timespan. Just the nature of the beast, really.
Sloucho !9ff7WVg9ik
>>6377553 With how rocky my life has gotten lately, my updates are sometimes one or two days apart, and I still have gotten no complaints and am pulling in like 4-9 votes. Also keep in mind that because of how endemic flaking is, a large portion of anons on /qst/ won't even look at a quest in its first thread. They wait for a second or sometimes a third before going back to the archive to catch up and lock in - because they don't wanna waste their time hanging in a quest that will fizzle before 700 posts or sometimes before like... 100... So that's a factor here too.

>>6377563 Yea, exactly this. I've been busy as heck lately too and my players haven't kicked down my door yet either. Update times can change--the important part is leaving open that line of communication with your players--that'll also foster more discussion and buy-in, sometimes. As long as you're consistent then it's kinda hard to peeve off players here. That and not being a jerk.

The Caretaker Quest has been updated!
Your battle is over, and you found an unexpected way to save your girlfriend.
But now, after everything has been done, you must decide what to do with your fallen enemy, is he truly dead to begin with? He is a sneaky bastard after all, maybe he still has an ace under his sleeve?
What will you do? vote now to find out!
