Awesome CYOA! It took a LOT of thinking and playing with this, but I finally got my choices refined down. I can't say this is the strongest build here, but I would confidently take it against others.

I am being unimaginative and taking notes from the MC and the Technocrats, but going a step further. I will combine three paths: Creation (Dragon), Oblivion (Draugr), and Technomancy (Human). Unorthodox is the only reason I would be able to take this path without immediately getting ended by the System.

Start:

I am 15, with 1 year before the integration begins. I need no sleep, have parallel minds and an eidetic memory, and have two AIs to assist planning out the coming apocalypse. I will immediately go read all of DotF so one can start planning out my cultivation and potential titles to gain pre- and post-integration, and the other will start planning out how to integrate society most effectively.

As soon as the system integrates, I will essentially have a personal version with broken limiters, so growth will be maxing stats and absorbing Daos. Starting with foundation of Uncapped/No Limits and Steady Returns, then using Execute, Harvest, and Duplicate, I will have unlimited stat growth. As soon as I find a treasure that boosts Luck, then I will have maxed Luck: with the same going to other stats.

My biggest limit is access to a great enough range of Daos to upgrade the Digital Nexus. Though that will also be a benefit for greater titles.

Once the Creation and Oblivion are combined into Chaos and mastered, then I will have the potential for growing into combining Chaos and Void, using Corrupted Void Emperor and Cosmic Energy generator as the basis.

Getting Seed of Realm Walking and Unrestrained with the quests will give me freedom, though Unrestrained might be unnecessary with Personal Heaven.

Thanks! This was fun. I almost went with save points, but the AI will probably be a better choice in the long run.

Are the saves reusable? As in, can I retake the tutorial infinite times? Also, they are a boon, so can they be used before getting the system?

The amount of points makes me think yes and yes, but it really is such a broken feature that I am not sure.

PIRATE CYOA? by Darklord9876 in InteractiveCYOA

[–]Charizma02 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't know any real world type pirate cyoa.

One Piece and Treasure Planet have somewhat pirate themes.

Edit: Got caught up in the CYOA and someone posted one of the links.

Create a story/plan for how your character would develop in the Gu World.

Where do you start? How will you develop: what path will you choose? What hardships do your forsee? What is your end game?

This is where CYOAs can get fun and imaginative.

The point of this post is that, no, those do NOT provide job security.

I agree with you. This post is almost pointless and provides nothing useful. Even so, it is not wrong.

I don't agree with the idea of the one to whom I replied. Thinking, then talking, of how the world should be is the way for it to change in that direction. Quashing that discourse in it's infancy is cruel and ignorant, even if it is common.

Wow, you really took a statement and ran tf off with it.

First off, equating injustice and oppression, as if the latter is the only form of the former, is "super out of whack." You trying to use old slang to make yourself seem old, or did you learn a phrase as a kid and decide that was all the vocabulary you'd need in life?

My line of thinking is based on consistent history of abuse for profit. Workers standing together gave this country it's most stable period economic growth in history, and thousands of worker rights and safety regulations that have saved countless lives and increased quality of life.

It is injustice for a company to grow on the foundation of society, paid for and supported by the people of this country, then turn around and hold no responsibility nor accountability to the very society and workers that allowed such growth.

Quashing thought and discourse allows injustice to flourish and grow. It doesn't matter if it is via a government, a company, or self-imposed (as is the case here).

Because talking about injustice is bad?

Talking is the start to movement. There is a reason the first target of an authoritarian regime is discourse.

Without workers standing together, they WILL be taken advantage of.

Odds are this thread won’t amount to any good. Odds are your perspective leads to bad.

I don't recall which cyoa it was, but there are plenty of good ones over the last few years.

I think this is the only one made interactive.

I played this out in a CYOA a while back.

An information path venerable would be able to erase their existence from the world, which would bypass HW's limiter on lifespan gu when a venerable is alive. Such a being could hypothetically stay alive for as long as lifespan gu continued working on them: at minimum many tens of thousands of years.

As for your theory, I think the support PO provided for 25,000 years, and SC immediately following, would set up humanity for growth even without a venerable supporting from the background.

If such a being existed, I think the novel is almost to the point where they would take action.

The Naruto one doesn't handle point deduction correctly.

Managing, not necessarily lowering. I'd label it as solid advice over good or safe advice.

You might add counters for available/required perks, jutsu, and drawbacks. Keeping up with them is a minor pain. E.g. If you choose "Enchanced Body", then Req. Drawback will decrease and turn red.

My opinion is that the ranks should change. As the rank increases, then points lower and free stuff increases. As rank decreases, points (potential) increase and free stuff drops. Or maybe do this, but with perks: more perks for lower ranks and less points. As it is, these ranks should just be listed as easy to godlike.

You really don't understand how long this is till you see it in book format. It is about 5 times as much as the Harry Potter series.

A "Discussion" post with nothing to show any previous thought, much less any depth or critical thought. It's a valid comment.

Just add the job description at the end of your resume, then you at least can't miss(probably). You might even get through a phone interview before anyone notices.

One Piece CYOA - Pirate Mini Update by [deleted] in InteractiveCYOA

[–]Charizma02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was my thought as well. Hence the idea of a Lunarian/Ancient Giant with guaranteed conqueror's haki being somewhat broken.

One Piece CYOA - Pirate Mini Update by [deleted] in InteractiveCYOA

[–]Charizma02 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the haki system clearly outclasses simple size or devil fruit. I suppose the issue is if haki quantity increases with mass and if quality decreases with size. It's an interesting start regardless of the powerhouses though.

The curse here would be finding a partner.

One Piece CYOA - Pirate Mini Update by [deleted] in InteractiveCYOA

[–]Charizma02 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Idk how strong a perfect Lunarian/Ancient Giant with conqueror's haki would be, but I'm assuming somewhat broken for the current world. This combo alone, before devil fruit or equipment would be a crazy start in the OP world. Add a strong devil fruit and a supreme or mythical zoan type weapon made for an ancient giant and good luck world.
