    Sort of. You're not silent and you and choose name, gender, how you look etc. as well as your EoFF join date (some people might be less kind to newbies) However I did actually choose your name when I took those shots earlier and I made him dress like a pimp, so we'll chalk it up as a win.

    Why was it never finished? This sounds like the best thing I've heard today.

    I don't know! Ran out of steam. Sometimes it's hard being a one man band.

    Just remembered there's a cool little system whereby if you input the name of an existing NPC as your character name, that character then becomes another EoFFer. So say if you put Formalhaut in, Formalhaut in the game gets his name changed to Pant Leg Eater from the Bad World so you can then play as yourself without any continuity breaks. It's pretty funny if you tell Freya your name is Freya because then she says "Did I tell you my name was Freya? How silly of me, my name is Aulayna!"

    I'm guessing he didn't have the time. RPG Maker games aren't exactly quick to make

    That naming system sounds pretty well done, actually.

    What was the plot?

    We need more random ass community stuff like that. It's what makes this place so swell.

    I was debating doing some type of Lucky Egg type event again just for luls, even if it's just silly more negative things like "Your sig and avy are now a literal blob. Good job blob"

    I've never felt like anyone truly gets me until right now. I'm tearing up over here.

    I think we would all like that.


    Actually Freya I was thinking of planning and starting an EoFF 'Would I Lie to You' game sometime in March. More games!

    Oh gosh I can't possibly fit it all down. The intro though was the Eyes On's Next Cid's Knight contest, and you sign up as a contestant and you have to do the challenges and win the tournament to become a CK. Along the way you can make friends and allies with sub plots and side quests, and build up a reputation for yourself. I hate most games' morality systems so I wanted to make my own. There were six invisible values being tracked based on your answers. I think it was like

    Stupid ---- Intelligent
    Dorky ----- Suave
    Arrogant ----- Humble
    Serious ------ Joker
    Insidious ----- Untrustworthy

    So maybe someone wouldn't want to talk to you about a personal problem if you have a reputation of being a joker and not taking things seriously. And maybe NPC1 wouldn't ask you to escort their six lovely wagons of gold if you had a reputation of not being trustworthy but perhaps instead NPC2 would ask you to help them ambush them instead.

    The main plot of the minisode, if you can call it that, was the CK contest but also that spambots had broken through the spam filter and nobody knew how it had happened.

    You should totes either continue that game, or redo it again, except this time with more people to spread the wirk

    Here's an old text file I once wrote called the Del Murder Story Arc.

    The Del Murder Story Arc
    (SPOILER)
    Hypoalergenic Cactuar and his boys (Iceglow, NCG, etc.) run a casino, The Wonder Square. Based on money from his rich parents who have bought ads on EoFF. Del Murder wants a slice of the action and you're going to be his main man. Or errand boy/girl.

    Part I - Beginnings
    Maybe Del sends you to try to intimidate HC into giving him a cut of the profits. It is not likely to be successful. So instead Del wants to plan a heist. You have to put together a team of EoFFers to do the job. You will have choices - eg that Jiro is very talented at things, but he is an unstable nut whereas Laddy is really good at charming people (such as guards) but he's not much use in combat.

    At any point you can betray Del and your team, and reveal these plans to HC for a reward.

    Act II - The Heist
    The Heist mission would be open-ended I guess, with different choices on how to do things. Do you enter the casino through the helipad on the roof, or through the sewers? Do we kill the guards? In addition, your choices from earlier come into play, so Jiro may go crazy and blow the gag. If you sided with HC the mission goes ahead but you can lure your friends into a trap. Note, can. You can also triple cross HC with your newfound knowledge of the defences. The amount of money you get depends on your choices.

    If you do side with HC I guess there's a quest chain for him too.

    Act III - Winding down
    Del Murder holds all of the money and says he will distribute it when the heat is off. The Cid's Knights - of which you are a part - are investigating the heist. There is a lot of heat on everyone. You can sell Del and the gang out to the staff if you wish. Your CK standing improves and this arc ends here.

    Anyway, a couple of your team members run their mouths. One by one, as the days go by, team members are winding up dead. Is this the result of the killer from the main plot? It can't just be coincidence? The Cid's Knights investigate further. Del Murder's cool persona has seemingly broken and he is irritated, paranoid, reeling off names who he thinks could be behind this. Psychotic. It must be him! Tail him! You have a lovely sidequest adventure with me where I act like a general buffoon I guess idk. Every time a body turns up, this song is quietly playing.

    Act IV - The Payout
    You can put pressure on Del to give you your cut of the money. He will give you half if you can convince him - perhaps by threatening to tell the staff- but will pay the other half later. Jiro (or whoever) is the only other team member alive and he is paranoid of both you and Del, but if you help him escape from the closing net of the badass Cid's Knight foa who is about to capture and pummel him, you win his trust. You can alternatively sell him out to foa, of course. She hints that an admin put her onto Jiro's case.

    If you save him, you will receive a note from Jiro telling you he has found where Del has hidden the loot. Come and meet him in the VGM/TSW forum and you can split it! A cave somewhere idk. If you smurfed Jiro over and badgered Del for his share, Del will summon you to the cave to pay you the rest of your share. If you go, you will find the corpses of all your team members throughout the cave, and layla is playing full blast. And so you meet Del. Naturally he has been eliminating all of the team members subtly. He put foa onto Jiro. The Psychotic thing was a distraction while Del killed someone else. And now you are becoming a problem, trying to smurf him over and/or take the loot for yourself. You fight, and believe you me it is not a fight you are meant to win. You may be able to. It'll be damned hard, but you can.

    Act V - Outcomes
    - If you defeat Del in the cave, you report him to the staff, claim all of the casino loot for yourself and your standing will improve amongst staff.
    - If you lose, he names you the culprit for the heist and nobody will believe you otherwise. You will find yourself in the WML Banned Members Prison. Maybe an adventure will happen there, who knows. Either way, you will have to regain your honour if you want to be a CK again!
    - If you did not badger Del for your share, and smurfed Jiro over, he will meet with you in the cave, thank you for all your help and pay you double your promised share.
    - If you do not go to the trap, betrayed jiro but badgered him for your share, Del will meet with you, thank you for your work and pay you the half that he promised.
    - If you do not go to the trap, saved Jiro and did not badger Del for your share, Del thanks you for your work and pays you 75% of what he promised. Jiro is paid the rest of the money to keep his silence.
    - If you do not go to the trap, and did not betray Jiro, but badgered Del for his share, he still wants you dead. There will be an encounter with you in the street where he attacks you, although given that it is in public, you can expect help from friends.
    - If you have smurfed Del over, either by selling him out to the staff or HC, he will come after you. I assume part of the HC/Staff questline will result in a mission to eliminate Del.
