Forums » Newbie Central » Read Thread

hi! I've been reading about CYOA and CYS history and RPG in general for my thesis! I love forums and cool webs sites in general. I wanna ask you guys if there's any website, or online forum, or net.art piece that is kinda related, something kinda interactive, that has this narrative but no-lineal vibe...??? haha also any recs for my first read???THANK YOOOUUUUU

I would recommend CYStia.

may I ask what is CYStia?? thanks

CYStia is the greatest empire in the known world. It's the glory and splendor of the Roman Empire mixed with the ruthlessness and conquest of the Vikings. You must have seen all the newb heads on pikes on the way in, didn't you? There should be a thread that will explain more if you're interested.

i will check that thread!! thanks

Ask sent or EndMaster questions you may have, you may have to @ them like three times to get them to answer, their inbox gets full

is it ok if I tag them in this same post??

Yeah, make sure you tag both of them three times, iSentinelPenguin and EndMaster

I'm either too tired or too old right now, so I'm gong to need you to slowly repeat what you're trying to ask for here.

As far as the games on the site, checking out the games that have been featured on the main storygames page for whatever genre you're interested in is usually a good way to start.

This ain't Cys-GPT, just type "Interactive fiction websites" into Google.

Also start your reading with the Featured Story games page of the site here.

I wanted to ask real people that why I'm here, was hoping to get to know more about this world,,, this is newbie central after all

Look up King of Dragon Pass and the original Fabled Lands if you're interested in CYOA-RPG games by the way.

Your first read? Boobs!!!

Read and reviewed. What a masterpiece.

noted!!! thank you so much jjjj

Are you a beaner or from the mainland? Taco muncher.

You can't just assume everyone is from the US. Here, let me test that.

@bibibitz
How do you feel about gypsies?

He used the Js to laugh, that’s a spanish speaking thing. I’m something of a competitive racist.

jajajajaj yeah I speak Spanish, but I have never tried a taco jijijij

amazing culture! I don't know how people picture gypsies outside my county, it's controversial in here

Gypsies? What is that if you don't mind me asking...

People who go around in caravans, doing random shit for money. And stealing, of course!

Noted that common words in English elude you.

But just completely ignoring my STRONG suggestion to post less until you get around to doing something worthwhile I see.

Hmm, can't be from Spain then.

oh.... sorry I live under a rock with a 55 year old strict mom sadly... so I might ask questions that I might don't know about

Just completely ignoring my STRONG suggestion to stop using non threaded mode I see.

I'm not! I stop using no threaded mode

Why not Spain? hmmm

When writing a thesis, it's important to use primary sources and works from experts in the field. Therefore, I'll assign Eternal as required reading, it is the highest rated story on the site and non-linear (assuming you didn't actually mean lineal in the ancestry sense).

so right about primary sources!! haha linear yes, I don't speak English that well!!! thank you

This is a chill little parser game if you're still looking for games outside the site for some strange reason. Good to just wander around in for 30 minutes at a time. I believe the outdoors changes based on the real life date.

aaaa thank you!! I found this site and felt like here was my answer. But, i never wanna stop exploring the Internet looking for something beyond non linear fiction (hyperfiction) that somehow still feels a little bit stuck in linear structures... I just really like sharing and conversations.... I guess I just wander around Internet forums trying to find a topic that makes me wanna write my thesis
