Should we even feature comments on stories with a 2 rating? Seems rather pointless.
Also, JJJ, why would you say you were overruled by the community to not delete short one words comments, and then proceed to agree to delete short one words comments only moments later? I mean, I don't think "K" is a really valid comment, but there's certainly no reason to delete it either.
I think Briar deserves to be rewarded for taking the time to give a real review, even to a game that has a low rating.
Sorry, I'd forgotten what the argument was about. I think it was actually about unsubstantiated negative comments. 1 word comments are just fine for deletion. Comments should be featured on all stories, on low rated stories, comments focused on improving the writer should be featured.
Yeah, I think I remember a conversation like that, though I had thought it ended with we should leave most comments unless they're really really bad.
If we hate one word comments, why don't we create a minimum character amount for when they leave a comment?
One word comments like "bad" or "good", should actually stay, according to the community.
One word comments that don't even express an opinion should go, like "k" or "lol" or what have you.
My opinion was that all negative comments should require substantiation.
I still hold the opinion that unless the author wants it removed (and it's a bad comment), that comments shouldn't be touched, but I guess the feeling of the community has changed and they want to be more proactive now.
...Or they just all want points haha.
Given you're already enforcing it this way, and the majority of people seem to agree with you, a debate would be rather pointless anyway lol.
No! I'm not removing negative one word comments, which is what I would love to do. I'm removing junk comments, which the discussion wasn't about. As in, I won't delete comments unless they are flaming, or nonsense like "k". The debate was about unsubstantiated criticism like "shitty game".
I'm not trying to say we're just doing whatever you want (which is how I think I'm coming off), I'm saying a debate for my side (only deleting at the request of the author) seems to be far from what everyone else wants, and thus debating it would be pointless.
OH, sorry, I thought that you were under the impression that I was just being a cavalier and changing the rules. If I change the rules, I'll make a post and I'll probably ask for community involvement, like last time.
Nah, I just find the one-word comments annoying; personally, as an author, I wouldn't welcome them either.
But to each their own, I suppose.
Sethaniel, if you could reply to the OP, you'd make my life easier :)
I agree about the featuring though!

Good comment: http://chooseyourstory.com/story/warlords~3a-strategic-conquest
So, according to the decisions made in this thread:
http://chooseyourstory.com/forums/the-lounge/message/6835
The community strongly argued for comments like "it sucks!" to be allowed to stay. I strongly disagree, as I voiced in that thread, but the community spoke.
Absolutely agree about thewaiter's comment though.
http://chooseyourstory.com/story/veangance-quest
http://chooseyourstory.com/story/valhalla Best comment:
Eh, to be honest some of the larger negative comments are far more annoying than the one word negative comments.
I actually respect it a lot more when someone just writes something idiotic like "gay" or "kill yourself lol" rather than some long winded pretentious attempt to sound like a "clever" literary critic.
That being said, don't delete any of the comments on my stuff, it all forms a rich tapestry or something.
Really the only ones I ever call for deletion are the ones that do something like thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis and stretch out the page or when someone accidentally posts the same comment multiple times.
Yeah, I'll delete spammy comments on yours and madglees but I won't delete hateful ones.
The one word negative comments don't provide any sort of constructive criticism, but they will be left.

Though Feanor's story has already been re-published and some of these faults have likely been fixed, I feel that Briar's comment here easily fits the criteria for a featured comment and that it was helpful enough to Feanor when he was re-making his game that it should be featured regardless.

Killa, for having a clear explanation.
I'm actually not going to unpublish that first game. That was not at all a good storygame, but it's not quite bad enough to unpublish. I will say, the part where she's like 'that was the last time I ever saw Connor' was actually hysterical to me. It was so out of the blue, and it actually wasn't linear.
Crab Arena will be moved to Everything Else. I'll give you the point for suggesting it but I don't think Fantasy Adventure is the place to go.
I agree about The King's Logic Puzzle.
I'll give you the point for recommending Killa but I'm going to put a stipulation that it has to be the last 6 months.
If it makes you feel any better, you've probably still gotten more points from this thread than anyone not named Tanstaafl.

Agreed about the humor tag.
I didn't think there were any featurable comments on the interrogator.
I didn't think Awesomeness' comment was well written enough to deserve featuring
I agree about October's comment even though he expressly forbade me from featuring anything of his pre-2010.
Same reason I'm embarassed by the way I wrote when I was way younger. October is a year younger than me so he would have joined the site at the same age that I did, since he joined a year after me.
http://chooseyourstory.com/story/math-quiz (Unpublish)
Please, get rid of this damn thing, it's pure trolling. A three question so-called "quiz" which advertises itself as "very, very hard" and "for 30 year olds" when the questions are "What is 1+1", "what is 10-2" and "what is 20+20." The guy that made it proudly posted in the forums that it was "so fun" and though the comments are gone now, he actually posted "it was so hard!" in the comments. xD
Another one? Im pretty sure these guys are publishing and unpublishing their games just for points...
This was happening before. Interesting theory.
Edit: Looking at his point history, it looks like I manually unpublished his game 5 days ago and penalized him points. I don't remember this.

the fact that the government is paying for something does NOT mean that Americans are not voting for it. Everything the government makes and produces comes out of our pockets in the form of tax dollars. The solution to health care is not to force people to purchase health care. This is if to solve world hunger you made a law saying every person must by themselves food or be fined. people are not refusing to by insurance because they don't want to it's because they don't have the money.

Storygame for unpublishing:

You choose your appearance/characteristics and then it just ends there. Unfinished, and I doubt that the author (“Apparently your jealous so bye”) is going to do anything more with it.
http://chooseyourstory.com/story/trip-in-time
Nothing happens. Max of 4 pages, with them either looping eternally or resulting in endgame.
Storygame for category change:
http://chooseyourstory.com/story/the-hairy-potter
From School-Based to… Fan Fiction, I guess. Hardly has anything to do with school, it just mentions the words “school” and “class” here and there.
I only deleted one of J.V's posts. No need to write both in your message here, since only one should be deleted.
I did not delete Ogga Bogga's comment, because again, unsubstantiated negativity does not warrant deletion according to community standards which I do not agree with. Same with Kenya's comment.
Wanted to delete Fez's comment so badly but again, I don't think I can.
Agreed on the rest.

Hi Earth! So, the first and third comments aren't well written and don't contribute much, so I agree that they're bad comments, but they don't technically warrant deletion because they do comment on the storygame itself.
The second one is just flaming the author AND it has horrible punctuation, so I would normally delete it, but it's on an Endmaster storygame, which I specifically talk about in the opening post. Endmaster likes to be hated on. This comment is the right idea though, if you find others like it, on non-Endmaster (or madglee) storygames, I'll delete them.

It's hard to write good horror because it has to actually unnerve the reader. In my case, at least, this story did not succeed. It's way, way too short to build up any suspense. Descriptions are limited to three sentences a page; I have no idea what anything looks like, so why should I fear it?
The player character also reacts very strangely. Ok, I just saw a mutilated torso hanging from the ceiling. It made me feel sick. It got one sentence of description. Then I move on by choosing a hallway, as if what should be a horrifying sight was as mundane as a painting on the wall. Do I whimper? Do I scream? Do I shake in terror? Nope! I just keep walking. One sentence that simply tells me "there's something gross over there" does not scare me. At all.
My advice: flesh this out. Make it significantly longer. Describe the house a little more on every page; eerie sounds like the whistling of the wind or the creaking of hinges and floorboards, unnerving smells like old rot and the coppery tang of blood, creepy sights like old, eyeless china dolls and ragged, mildewy curtains around cracked windows. When the monster comes into play, it should be the culmination of a slow buildup.
You also never explain why any of this is happening. Why am I in the house? Where did the monster come from? A good horror plot might not tell the reader everything, but it says "there's a story here. Something terrible happened." It makes the reader want to know. Overall, don't tell us "you ought to be scared." Instead, put in the work and scare us.

The deaths were very abrupt and immersion-breaking. Instead of actually being relatively upset about dying, it's more of an "oh. Well." reaction. Also, I wasn't too keen on the short descriptions of the other people around you, the locations, and the lack of information about the actual situation made it less entertaining than it could have been. You could have something good here if you work on it.

Its short (accepting its a part one still means its short/demo). Some interesting details but too many choices are simply 'do this or intant death' and the random insults for what are not always bad choices are annoying. Insults in a joking way for REALLY dumb choices are fine dependant on the game type but insulting smart choices simply because they didnt make the choice you wanted alienates readers very quickly.
-- FeanorOnForge on 4/15/2013 10:34:59 AM with a score of 0
That was strange. I just picked up a gun, but I didn't get to use it. Anyways, insulting the reader for making a wrong decision is never a good idea, unless the game is random and the insults are funny. Other than that, not an awful lot got done in the game. I know it's only part one but didn't really feel like anything happened except the player discovered that zombies exist.
-- Briar_Rose on 3/1/2013 6:23:14 PM with a score of 0
Alrighty. Well done for a first game, but it's a little hypocritical to tell people to be gentle with you because it's your first, and then call them stupid whenever they make a wrong choice. Especially considering the choice does not always directly correlate to what happens. Watch your grammar, it was better than most but the flow of your sentences doesn't feel quite right. You say beach like fifteen times in the first paragraph :P
It was decent and you obviously put some time into it, so that's a positive. Make sure you don't ever create links like: "Run around until her head explodes". What's the point in creating a choice like that? Finally, I suggest reading: Mommy Can I Go Out and Kill Tonight as well as Ground Zero, to see how it's done.

This wasn't a bad game but there was something holding it back and that was there was barely any details. You kept saying, "And we killed zombies" but you never described how. There was no description of the gunfire or the melee combat. It was just the bare bones of what needed to be said and that was it. It just went from point A to B and that was it. Also, I felt nothing for the characters because there was no development of them. Nobody talked so I knew nothing of their personalities, hopes, fears, dreams, etc. So when one of them died I didn't care.
There were some good parts though. For the most part you had good grammar and I liked that you recorded my kills.
4/8

The truth: I did not get this game. For me, there have been way too many zombie games on this site, with them making up most of the Horror section. Only a few of these such games are actually written well.
So, that was it? No information was provided about this zombie outbreak other than that it was a zombie outbreak. Okay, so how was it started? What the heck is going on? What happens after this mission? The kills variable had, as far as I could tell, no effect on anything other than itself. This was also somewhat too easy, as I beat it on my first try.
On the good side, it employed good common sense, which is more than can be said for many of these zombie games. It isn't exactly going to be featured, although of course I would not take this off the site. I would very much like a sequel explaining this zombie outbreak. 5/8.

http://chooseyourstory.com/story/eyes-of-an-angle
This game had a really nice plot and cool drawings.
Unfortunately, those were pretty much its only appealing features.
I would suggest that the author run this whole game through some sort of spellchecker, because literally every page is riddled with misspellings and grammatical errors. (e.g. I think it's "Eyes of an Angel", not "Angle". lol.)
Secondly, several of the pages are dead ends, so this story has not been completed yet.
In addition, there are a few points at which there is no choice of what to do. This means that there are several links but they all lead to the same page. What is the point of that?
Sorry, but this game isn't really worth playing unless you are willing to sift through incomprehensible pages of text, or if you just want the free point.

This is one of the many stories on the site where there is some basic creativity, but the author is either unwilling, or unable to correct basic spelling and grammar.

Wait,
I land on a planet on a mission to discover life right? I end up finding signs of life and suddenly arm myself, then i find this village inhabited by dog-like lifeforms and i decide to kill off a grown one and take a "puppy" back to my ship for study?
This expedition seemed very badly planned and from what i could tell the scientist you were acting as did not have the right additude for a mission like this. There was also not enough information to decide on the choices and the random deaths did not improve the story.
-- Fireplay on 11/28/2012 10:55:17 PM
Well, the writing wasn't bad, but those scientists are jerks! Just go to some poor aliens planet, shoot the aliens and kidnap their children for scientific experiments. That's just mean. Also, why was the guy in hyper-sleep?
-- Briar_Rose on 11/28/2012 6:23:30 AM
Okay... let's start with the bad. The walls of text make reading pretty iritating, even if the game itself is very short one. With one and only path to succes.
There is not enough information to go on. Who I'm? Why I'm here? How the scouts who checked this planet didn't see something so obvious like the statue and village? How the sci-fi scientist team walks into area without oxygen and just drops dead? Why in the hell first reaction of a scientist (sic!) on a planet seeing footprints is 'pull out a rifle'. And from where he pulls it?
You also write in a very confusing way. I have no idea which way leads to succes and which one to random death. So yeah.
The whole idea of the 'scientists on the alien planet' could be done better than that.

You definitely put in more effort here than in the first one, and you seem to have improved quite a bit. There's definitely more room for growth, however. Perhaps work on your writing a bit more, and really crack down on those plot holes...
One particular suggestion would be to shorten or just outright remove that first paragraph where you break the fourth wall. That kind of information belongs in the adventure description, not in the adventure itself.

Better than your other game. A little more detail would have been nice but you had a plot this time, which is good. I like the action scenes and I think this game was longer than you're other one, which again is a good thing to see. Some of the problems I had with the game was that there were no pictures for the items. That would have been a nice detail to put in.
I'm going to give you the same rating for your last game but I can see improvement. Keep trying.

Kudos for working with variables and publishing a story within your first three days as a member. You seem to understand the basics of what makes a storygame good, which does show. However, the "You Died" pages appear without any explanation of why. This seems to be a result of inexperience with the system. If you revise and proofread your future stories, as well as fiddle a bit more with the system, your story-games might turn out to be pretty good! For now, however, it is only mildly enjoyable, and could use serious work.

An interesting concept, but it was fairly obvious, incredibly linear, and only 2 weapons, and only one chance to use it. Also, the members in this game have left years ago, and you could have made this game so people could actually play a UT2004 style game. Also, the map is fixed, You get no warning of enemy weapons (random choices) no indication of what you're enemies are doing, AND you can only shoot back ONCE. This just sucked...

Well, it seems like some effort has been put into the game, but a lot can be done to improve the quality of the game.
First, have more backstory. Be more in-depth with your story, explaining fully why the player is in the current situation with a backstory.
Second, make your story less linear with more branching, as that would allow players to immerse themselves in a story. What's the point of a CYOA if you can't choose an option that you really want?
Third, don't have deaths that are too sudden, like a one liner, e,g. A rock falls on you, you die. GAME OVER.
-- Xt1000305 on 3/28/2013 11:55:43 AM
It's not a bad start, but it could use some improvement. You're story is way too linear, with actually only one set of choices you choose if you don't want to die. You could also try to write some more on your pages, one paragraph of text per page doesn't necessarily make a story bad, if it's a well written story with a good plot, etc. But to be honest, your story isn't. Like I said before, not a bad story, but could use improvement.
-- Romulus on 3/10/2013 8:09:43 PM
Here it goes. I'd suggest, if you want to do a 'sequel' that you actuality start from the beginning, like this one, and fully expand it. Get someone to proof read out the spelling and punctuation errors. There's a good basis for a story here if you clean it up some. Also, I found the investigation of the room needed work. Saying almost everything was of no interest got on my nerves.

Not all that great. Pictures were average, since all it showed was the foe, while a good set of pictures would show your characters actions as well. Capital "I" should be used, and I would suggest that you dont have the title be "A New Link"
-- Aman on 1/14/2013 3:28:16 PM
Decent pics... but that was the only decent part of the story. There were several just flat-out mistakes and a few things that you could simply write better. Spoiler, the first choice will lead to victory every time!
-- ThisisBo on 7/13/2011 7:53:59 AM
The pictures are kind of cool. Everything is runon sentences. You need to go back and put punctuation in the appropriate places. Decent effort.

I left DannyJohn's comment.
I have no idea why you recommended JamesValkyrie's comment though, definitely not deleting that.
Wow, can't believe I've never seen the nigger comments, Jesus that was ridiculous. Great find.
Left the 'ok' comment.
Left the comment written in icelandic of whatever.
I don't think Sethaniel's comment quite meets featuring standards on Eyes of an Angle (sic)
I don't think Briar Rose's comments in Hercules or Manske's Island met minimum featuring standards.
Decided to unpublish If You Alone so I gave you a point for that instead.
Didn't think JMGSkills in Island Raid wrote well enough in his comment, for featuring.
I didn't think either comment on Multi Player Action was featureworthy.
I didn't think Romulus' comment was featureworthy in Revolt
I didn't think any comments in Robot Fight were feature worthy.
Thanks for recommending comments for featuring but I think you should raise your standards.
^Yep.
Also, are you talking about the comment by Tgetruegamer? Icelandic comment? I put it up there because I found out what the translation meant... >_>
And alright, I'll attempt at raising my standards for them then.

Short and little detail. Feels more like a testing story than a finished one, some more details and a few more choices and this would be greatly improved.

Pretty interesting story you've got going on here, and several of your scenes are doing pretty well. However, I would advise that you have to be a bit careful when doing Chaptered storygames, since there might be multiple outcomes on your future installments. If that is the case, pay heed to what you write; a story can branch out a lot of ways after this.
If that's too much trouble to deal with, you can make one large story instead, so you can keep track of how differently the player can digress from the other paths.
Good job. I want to see more of this.
-- Swiftstryker on 12/12/2013 9:02:53 AM
Good Job! For a First, Anyways.
I liked the idea, and where it was going. Sadly, I noticed a few things:
You seemed to switch around past and present-tense a couple times. And even when you were in the past tense mode (which is where I assume you intended to be), it felt awkward and out of place for a story. This is just a thought, but consider sticking the whole thing in present tense. Try it out. You may like it better.
The story revolves around colored blood, which seems to power you up somehow. While the idea itself was great and new, it wasn't executed all that great. Part of it was that the story just wasn't long enough, and it didn't let us do anything or try our own powers. I'd recommend stretching the story, and maybe even letting the player decide their lineage (but that can be another game :)).
Finally, there were only two options, and even then, they sent you to the same place eventually.
Other than these minor(ish) things, the story was simple with a smart idea, and I hope you make it longer or make a new one. Good job for a first!
4/8.

An extremely engaging story, alive with wonderful detail, interesting characters, and foreboding atmosphere. It feels like a mix of Changeling and Twilight Zone with a childish and petty god (or is it Azathoth even?) in need of a sound walloping. The only real drawback in it all of course, is that it is unfinished. Completed, I would likely rate it among the highest and best of the entire site.
-- BerkaZerka on 9/6/2012 9:31:26 AM
http://chooseyourstory.com/story/the-vampire-hunter
Freaking hilarious. I am in love with this story, I seriously laughed until I cried. My favorite ending is the "Oh, I'm something MUCH worse" one. Brilliant twist. Most of them that don't end in the death of the reader's character are good twists, and even the "magic dust" was a good surprise.
This may have been short and a story without a whole lot of detail, but you managed to make it SO entertaining with so few words. I didn't have to wade through a novel's worth of sentences to get a lot of enjoyment out of it, and I think that's a rare trick to pull off. Bravo. I'm gonna go check out your other stuff, if they're half as good? I'll love them, too.

I mean, it's hardly a storygame at all, it's just three pages of choices either way, and there is no story to speak of.

http://chooseyourstory.com/story/baking-a-cake
While the attempt wasn't bad, this isn't much of a game. At it's longest I could only find 4 choices before an ending. Rather than actually baking a cake, all I did was put it in the oven and either wash up or watch TV. I suggest fleshing it out some, perhaps use variables and items to let players actually bake the cake. For example, over stirring the batter could cause the cake not to rise properly, under stirring causes it to be lumpy, that could be a stirring variable. If you fleshed it out that way, it might actually qualify as an edutainment story game.

You know, I should just start looking at the games that Killer has rated and then get all his comments, haha. (All of them seem to be deletion-worthy, this is the 8th or 9th time i've seen his name, I think).
I actually berated him for that in like 2011 or 2012 or something. He got better, if I recall correctly.
Only one of Killer's comments on baseball quiz should be deleted. One word comments are apparently okay. I accidentally deleted the 2nd though :(
No idea why Julio's comment should be deleted?
(Note when I write 'double post' it just means one of them should be deleted)
Should've probably known that 'Muy bien' meant 'very good'-or something along those lines. Nevermind haha.
No worries. It's easy to remember if you just keep in mind that every comment you post is up for deletion. If it shouldn't be deleted then don't post it.

Despite how hilarious this game is, I think it should be unpublished until the author finishes it as it is obviously incomplete, loops over itself and has many dead ends.
In addition, it should have the "Humor" and "Parody" tags added (I can't think of it as an actual, serious game, haha).
Oh, and I guess there's some offensive language, but I don't particularly care about that, you could look over that as you would however.
There is no parody tag. I'm not sure if it should be unpublished to be honest... I did at the humor tag. Should it go to Fan Fiction? This game is confusing me.
I was referring to it being a parody of the zombie genre, rather than a parody of a particular show or movie.
It's hilarious, haha, the guy who wrote it just got the typical, overworked zombie story (you wake up, zombie stuff happens, survivor/military camp) and put a little humoristic spin on it (that or he's incredibly incompetent, either way, I found it to be humorous).
It should probably stay in horror, as it IS a zombie story, after all.
Just looked up the name, didn't get the reference (never saw the show)
Maybe? I'm not familiar enough to make any connections between the show and the game, that would have to be up to someone who's actually watched and played both.
While I think the character is probably based off of him, the focus of the story is zombies, so I don't think it'd fall under fan fiction.
I'd like to recommend a few comments for deletion.

Hi there.
That is really childish. It's unfortunate that my earlier years are so well documented, I really wish they weren't.
That being said, I'm wondering what your agenda is. If you're trying to embarrass me, then congratulations. I apologize for my 15-16 year-old self. That being said, I stand by what I said. Fuck anyone who tries to censor the internet.
Why did you post that in this thread?
For one thing, that post does not warrant deletion. It doesn't break any site rules. I'm not flaming a user and I'm not spamming. If childishness were an offense punishable by deletion, this site would look very different.
Secondly, this thread is not for the deletion of forum posts, let alone ones that are five years old. I can't help but feel a little insulted by the fact that you'd intentionally drudge something like that up for no apparent reason. What point are you trying to make?
3J
Dear 3J
Sorry I had no idea that that post was so old I didn't check and sorry I'm sorry for embarrassing you as I've only been here for a month or two so I haven't really crasped the rules and I'd no idea it would hurt you or anyone else also I'm autistic so I don't actual get how other people feelings so I'm dreadfully sorry if I knew this would happen I wouldn't of posted it in the first place.
Sincerely Jibble
No worries, Jibble. Thanks for the apology. Read the opening post before you reply to a structured thread, and you'll be fine.
And let me reiterate, if you find a comment on a storygame from me from that long ago that is really horrible, do post it here as I'd like to delete it.
I didn't think H-A-V-O-K's comment was worthy of featuring because it was kind of awkward to read.
I didn't think ultragunner's comment was worthy of featuring because he doesn't know about the secret of capital letters.
I think that my comment on Repression is one of the best examples of irony that I've found looking at comments so far haha. Damn, you really could have made fun of me for that one.
I so badly want to feature those comments on Love SICK, what does the community think? I'm a little worried that I'll encourage people to intentionally post comments like that one.
Nah, if you think it will cause problems then err on the side of caution. It was more for amusement anyway than a serious suggestion.
I'm not sure. I'm assuming another admin accidentally featured a 4th without realizing that 3 are already featured. I unfeatured Havacoman's.

What the fuck? I can perform worse when I'm drunk. Fucking drunk, you hear that? When I've shot 75 cl of fucking Vodka, wtf. I've read some worthless shit, but this beats it all, hands fucking down. I don't stand alone when saying this, but we never wanna see you again on this sight. It's people like who you give little teen girls bullemiah, you are such a horrible writer, I'd advice you to not even write your own get well card. Seriously my dead fucking grandma who never learned to write could do fucking better than you, this made me disgusted. It's a shame I can't rate it -666 because this is soooo freakin fuckin terrible. Da fuck, get out of this fucking websight, commit suicide, if ya did I'd throw a fucking party. This was just extremely fucking horrible, euwwwww!

It was alright... there were some parts that didn't make a lot of sense to me, such as: why would you tell the doctor your name? And why does your pain subside a mere hour after getting shot and receiving surgery without anaesthesia?

This is pretty good. We get not only a fair number of mechanical components, items, objectives, and the like, but a great sum of flavor. All the characters have back stories. They aren't flat, they have texture. I love that, and readers love that in general. The only problem is have is some logical disconnects, and maybe a bug or two. I'll send you those via PM, no need to clutter up comments with them. Good work. Clean up some of the problems, awkward link system, repeating events, item use loop, etc. and I'll gladly give you a higher score, not that the one I gave you was bad. :D

Not bad. Some spelling and grammar issues here and there, and rather short. The descriptions were generally alright, but it would be better to show us how the characters are feeling rather than simply tell us. The mother's shooting, which sets off the whole story, is never described; it'd be the perfect opportunity to get some emotion in here, but it's summed up in a sentence.
This is an above-average story, but not a stupendous one. Excellent for a first try, though.

This story definitely does not need to be split into parts. Not at all. The only choices given to me in this very, very short story is what my character says, which didn't even seem to make much of a difference anyhow. Plus, the last half of the story was just linear, which definitely wasn't enjoyable. Something I would also like to recommend is using quotation marks instead of dashes when a character is talking.
I thought this was going to be a story about how hard it is being an astronaut on the moon and getting there, having the joy of low gravity, but instead it was just three men lightly joking about going into space.
2/8
-- fergie14233 on 10/11/2012 11:17:21 AM
It's a Intresting story, since it allows multiple options, but it isn't a story game. Any choice you make will end in you winning. So there isn't really any content.
Though, it is a dedication to Neil Armstrong, so it makes sense that it isn't a an actual game.
Also, I realize you aren't the best in Englis, but when a character is talking, you should use a " since I got confused a couple of times.

Aside from the odd anti-republican humor, (while it seems to have a distinct hatred of Republicans, it cracks a joke about how we eat souls, which I'll assume it a crack at what people believe about Reoublicans, and not what you believe, which leaves me incredibley confused) the work was very good.
Found it amusing, well written, and engaging, it's probably the second best random game on the site. 6/8

We are offered a nice nostalgia trip while being given ample opportunity to laugh at the silliness of it all. This speaks to allot of people, believe it or not! Basically everyone would like to relive their life. Not everyone has an irrational hatred of their older brother to a murderous degree! But everyone has been infuriated a time or two. Besides, the absurdity is where the fun starts.

Grammar wasn't that bad as a problem, so bravo for that, but it was short, and not detailed. If you're going to write a story on a murderer/rapist, you might have to go the extra mile, not necessarily "Endmaster" gruesome, but at least verbose and interesting.
Writing a story in shouldn't take 20 minutes, unless it was made to be simple, or the author thought about the plot before hand and was amazingly skilled on the keyboard. Take your time, think about your premise, it's not like you have a time limit on this site. :)

Not as bad as I thought it would be. It was disgusting at points, had bad spelling, and didn't make a whole lot of sense (Why am I even in this place? Why are the prisoners free? Who is Bob and why is he trying to kill me?). The good part was that you had decent amount of options and I liked the items.
Could have been a lot better but could have been worse also.

http://chooseyourstory.com/story/intrepid-(demo)
Really nice game so far, but even for a demo, I do have a bit of qualms...
Combat seems very icky to me. The fight against the bandit is a little too sudden for health to matter, as even two supposedly successful actions will result in one instant death or no health loss.
If that's going to be the case for the whole story with the rest of the fights, health shouldn't really be added in the story unless it applies for continuous starvation or thirst, or injuries in a trap.
While having an inventory did help, I'm more inclined to actually clicking on and using an item than rather having the item open up a new choice. That's my personal preference, but please do make a thread in the Writing Workshop forums for more opinions.
-- Swiftstryker on 2/20/2014 7:22:07 PM with a score of 0
Not bad; pretty good actually.
I was kind of put off by the fact that I learned everything about the story from the description; it'd be super helpful if you could explain the story more in the story itself.
In the fight scenes, you should also try to give some hints as to what move you should make next, since at times I got tired of getting killed because I decided to punch instead of kick (for example).
Overall, try giving some background to the story instead of throwing the reader into the fray right at the start. But I must say that your writing style is great :)

I sort of see where the idea for this one was going, investigating an accident and getting credit, however to me it never really carried off, sinse the writing gave me no sense of urgency due to the short sentences and lack of detailed descriptions.
I also agree with some of the previous comments, that this one really could've done with a little more by way of difficult choices.
still, I give creddit to what is obviously a young author, and hope he goes on developing more stuff in the future and expanding his tallents.

Pretty good game. The game had a good use of items, you obviously know what you're doing there, and it made me think a few times. I was entertained throughout the whole thing, but the insulting humor detracted from the experience for me. All in all, I gave it a 5/8.
Also, love the Splinter Cell reference.

This is an incredibly detailed sim that takes into account variables that you hardly ever find in RPGs (like Fun, Bathroom, Energy, etc.). Definitely a game that will entertain for hours; I can only imagine how many items and variables must be involved. There are a few bugs scattered throughout the game, but the only one that I really had a big issue with was that I could not find my room key and collapsed of exhaustion as a result :/ That aside, it's a super detailed game that flows nicely and is for the most part user-friendly.

I have to agree with some of the other comments. You need details and a storyline. Where are we exactly? I thought we are on a desert island, but all of a sudden there is a castle. Maybe if you tell us what is going on, like what the war or battle is about and why people are fighting, then maybe I wouldn't be so confused. The person in the story probably has some motive for fighting- give some background and tell his story.

Well, I can see that some effort went into the making of this; I'll certainly give you that. But the entire creative purpose of this games seems to be to mock characters and programs designed for young children to begin with. Why exactly do you hate them, Deven711? This story leaves me with several questions, but I'll only ask the one that is eating at me the most: why did you create pages with links saying "Try to dodge it" and "Let it hit you"? Why on Earth would I allow a laser beam, bullet, etc. to strike me in the chest?! Also, do you truly only watch South Park for the foul language and such? That really isn't the point of watching a mature satirical cartoon, is it?
Anyway, I suppose the problem is that you and I do not share the same sense of humor, so I suppose I simply can't appreciate your comedic stories. I have given this a 5/8 for pacing and effort, though.

I'm surprised Chuck Norris even bothered to use his nose to take out those soldiers. He could have shot his fingernails out of his hands or something that took far less effort. Good work, but I think Chuck could have taken out the whole base on his own. In fact, if he was really on your team, he'd have already won before you became a criminal.
And why the hell was Kim Beasley there =P? I could understand his reason to be there, but what good would he be?
A great story, many jokes that I got that a few others wouldn't, even though there was a lot of violence. Not what I expected the storygame to be, but even better. Especially the grill guy. You should try getting the "Leaf Busters" jingle in the next one somewhere.

This wasn't bad by any means but the story was too formulaic and the dog's perspective wasn't nuanced. You could have used the dog's point of view as a real tool in the writing, but you didn't. You needed to rely more on body language and less on verbal communication. The actual writing could use some work too. Also, I don't think you used the memories angle as well as Sethaniel did and I'd rather not see this writing type become a fad.
That being said, it was better than average and a great start! I'm excited to see what you make next.
-- JJJ-thebanisher on 3/23/2014 7:41:51 PM
I don't think you did a very accurate job of depicting the inner workings of a dog's brain, and I lament the fact that you switched between 1st and 3rd person narration a couple of times; but my most significant issue is with the fact that you include human dialogue, then say that the player character doesn't understand it. That messes with immersion. That said, it was totally acceptable for a first story, by virtue of the fact that the concept was good and the writing was well enough.

You were obviously trying to make an emotionally moving story, but without getting more information about the relationship, it's very difficult to relate to the characters. Instead of statements about how close they are or how long they've known each other, try showing a few moments where their relationship developed. Perhaps as flashbacks.
You should also make it much clearer what the choices are and who is making them. Are we choosing Emma's actions?
If you include supernatural elements like changelings, it's important to explain what that means.
But not bad for a little first story.

http://chooseyourstory.com/story/battle-of-hastings
The story wasn't obviously linear which was refreshing, but the author should take more care in writing. This story's prose was nowhere close to error free and could use some proofreading attention. Moreover, the plot is not carefully attended to. In the Game Description, the author names the character John Doe, only to contradict himself on page 1 (calling the character John Williams) and then as the story progresses, we go from planning to move to a military base then to London.
Still, the author has some good ideas and should pursue more thorough story-telling.
-- JJJ-thebanisher on 3/24/2014 12:52:24 AM
Very, very little description is provided. Consider fleshing things out. What does the town look like? The road? The woods? Who are the soldiers accompanying the player character, and how do they look and act? The choices aren't too bad, but it's hard to get immersed in a story that has so little... well... story. You could quadruple the amount of text on every page without overwhelming most readers, and your tale would be better for it.
I personally would have called this "Norman Invasion" or something similar. Hastings is never even mentioned within the story, which has nothing whatsoever to do with the actual battle. The description is also misleading in another way: you state in the description that the player character's name is John Doe, then contradict that on the very first page of the story. Not a big deal, just a heads up.

Good description, although there was a severe lack of realism and there was absolutely no plot line, like, at all, I do commend you for your excellent description. Next time, try making a story that isn't so ridiculous in nature, much potential here though, you're clearly not that bad a writer.

Eh... what's the point in duct taping her mouth if you're just going to have to rip it off to cut her tongue out? Wouldn't it have made more sense to leave the duct tape on and mutilate her nose instead, thereby preserving silence while also causing her to choke on the blood that runs down her pharynx? The way you did it not only failed to maximize her suffering, but also exposed you to a greater risk of detection.

What just happened? You can't call that a story or a game. All that is is a random configuration of events with two characters (one being the main character) that you know nothing about. Where's the plot? The detail? The attention to character development? Did you just decide to write this because you were bored and figured that confusing people was a good idea to pass the time? I'm sorry, but this really needs some work.

Well, I wasn't a big fan. I don't want to sound rude, but there were some things that really bothered me in this. First of all the "You are a tomboy". Yes, in real life you can't choose your gender, so I won't really mention that, but you can choose your personality. Not many choices, except for some stuff in school. And speaking of which, how does sneaking out of a assembly get me rich? And the item "yes". What's that for? Why is it an item? If you were going to make a new one, I would probably allow it to go further than your childhood, allow more choices and personal development, and have actual items. Again, not trying to be rude. Just some constructive criticism.

A good idea for a game and it I did find it pretty fun. If expanded it would be fun perhaps to see different sides of evolution, e.g. sacrificing traits to gain others. Also, because of the evolution focus, I thought I was playing as the next generation rather than respawning the same animal, but later events suggested otherwise. Overall, however, not a bad effort :)

I made a story kinda like this for my first try. Mine was a "tree" style plot with many branches from making a descision. This could've worked out really well if you had made this into a quest like story. Like finding out about your origins or something along those lines. The thing that bothered me the most was the respawn option. Instead of doing that you could've made it to where you "lay an egg" and that egg would be your checkpoint. Beef it up and take some of my sugestions and this will be great. I love the premise, but you have to bulk it up a little. Good job :)

The story's not bad, the writing is good. However, please, PLEASE put the background information in the STORY, not the description. The game itself is a bit too linear, there's no logical solution as to which choice will keep you alive, so the reader ends up blindly picking links. Also, I believe that the "keep moving" link is broken.

This...this is just mindless violence with no reason, no purpose, no nothing! The funny thing is I see massive potential in this story, if a little background is given on the character. Why does he see himself as an angel? Why does he see everyone else as evil sinners who must be punished? What happened to make him that way? Like I said, the story has great potential, but is just too underdeveloped to be much more than untapped mana at this point.

Well, other than a few spelling mistakes, the writing wasn't too bad, the problem is that the way the game's looped mean that it doesn't really work. Basically, I went to look at food and merchandise, it said I needed to exchange my money, so I exchanged my money, went back to look at the stalls and it still said I needed to exchange money, so I went to the hotel, woke up to the next day, went to look at the shops and it said I needed to exchange money, and so on and so on. Would be nice if you could fix that loop so that I don't have to keep exchanging money all the time.

Yeah, well...I know the point of the game is that 'nothing is as it seems' and that I should expect the unexpected and stuff, but with that being said, I didn't enjoy it at all. I clicked on a link; sometimes it brought me to a room with ten doors, sometimes it didn't, and if I choose the wrong one of the ten doors I either get sent back to the first page or go back to the SAME page, and if I weren't so determined to give this game a comment I would have closed it out right then. You've gotta give the player some strong incentive to play, like jokes, maybe, or a mystery, or a confusing twisty-turny plot. Maybe even something like the Impossible Quiz. I 'unno. Just give us some meat on these game-bones.

There's definitely some whimsy here and I like that, as the fantasy genre can often take itself too seriously. But there should be more paths that don't end in death and don't end with the singular ending. You could make something pretty cool out of this actually.

Other than that, I agree about everything.

" The storyline flowed nicely and I like it how you could sometimes make big choice"
" The storygame is very non-linear, which gives more freedom to the player, but a little more linearity would perfect it" (perfect what?)

I like the fact that you are doing a different type of zombie story. I respect that. The title actually made me expect it to be like ArrowzworrA's game (kinda trollish/spammish with terrible English and no plot etc.) But I was happily surprised. After reading the story the title makes sense.
Sadly, it didn't seem finish, with one or more paths that don't have links attached to them. Also, a little bit of grammar mistakes aren't much of a problem, but a LOT of them in cluttered paragraphs make it. Annoying to read.
Still, games like this should be made more, and I'm glad you didn't make another one of those zombie survival story with nothing new to offer.

Piece of crap, to be brutal. Can't be finished.
http://chooseyourstory.com/story/can-you-beat-the-boring-game
You know it's going to be a train wreck when an attention-seeking 6 year old calls his own game boring. It leaves the scent of a blatant troll game that can be smelt for miles.
Actually, Sentinel, about that first game: I helped him fix it and taught him how to avoid that glitch in the future. It was a scripting issue. I tested it out and the game can be finished now.
I'm not going to lie and say it's not crap, because you're right, it absolutely is. There's no plot, no intro, no back-story, you're just punching and kicking an unknown, unnamed enemy for random damage and then you either win or lose. Yawn. However, he's a new member who just joined today and it was his first try making anything.
... Maybe I'm being too soft here, but talking to him proved he's not trolling. He genuinely wants to make a good game and helping the guy out by teaching him how to do things right seemed more productive.
I didn't have too much against the game aside from there wasn't much else to it and it couldn't be finished. I mean, technically, that qualifies as a test game. There was some obscure endorphin rush the same way there was an obscure endorphin rush to the first randomly walk, but I guess if that part's fixed there's no real reason to un-publish it since (I think) it doesn't break any site rules. The second one still leaves the undeniable stank of troll shit though.
A stench Sentinel...it leaves a stench. Anyway I've played and reviewed the game myself and I would agree with Kiel. I do think the game is a piece of crap spam clicking abomination of a game, but it could qualify as a test. If you want to compare this to other troll games, do you remember the "Unplayable Story"? THAT was deliberate trolling where you could not finish the game. If the author was willing to ask Kiel for help then that means that he is trying to improve. I say let it be for now.
No, no. A 'stank' is a common term used to describe a sweaty odor created during intercourse. Since that was the first thing the person presumably made on the site, it's safe to say it left a troll stank, because a troll shit may have been born... Because intercourse...
xD Ah, thank you for that mental imagry of troll sex involving feces, Sent. Now I don't have to get myself food because my appetite is, indeed, gone. Noted, though. Having the words "the boring game" anywhere in the title reeks of troll, so death to the shit spawn of troooolls....!
If you know anyone on a diet, send them my way if they ever get cravings. I'll probably think of something equally disgusting...
I mean, "The boring game" is always a red flag, but that's definitely not the only thing I'm bashing it for. On average, there's about four words on each page, and a third of the pages is you arguing with the narrator. That's NEVER a good sign. The narrator mocking you is typical, but mocking the narrator back is a literary art that pretty much no one I've seen here, not even the best of us, and not even I, (And that's really saying something, because I've spent a great deal of my life considering how best to mock things.) have ever mastered. And rightly so, that's effectively a death trap for a lot of stories. Maybe it'd be a fun little thing to add in the beginning, or perhaps after the real ending, but going off on a tangent, no matter how small, no matter if it's you speaking with him, or if you're making the character argue with the narrator, you're still encouraging the player to break character, to play as themselves rather than immerse themselves in the story. By messing with the storyteller, you mess with the story.
It's a problem that's very unique to the CYOA genre, isn't it? Outside of the Stanley parable, (and even then, you deliver your insults with subtlety and defiance rather than true verbiage,) or other things where the only other personality in the game is the person telling you the story, the narrator is absent, replaced by other, perhaps equally omnipotent, (for the game's purposes) entities that mock you instead. It's easy to mock them back, because then you expand the story, you follow the story's rules. You don't break every law available to stop the story and argue with the god that's weaving it. No writer now or since has ever been truly able to jab the second or third-person narrator himself outside of some fourth-wall breaking or another that lasts only briefly, as a gag. Video games don't have to deal with that problem, they use images to tell the story, the imagery can keep people occupied while the background voices surrounding their gameplay . Most books never bother to argue with the narrator, the narrator doesn't usually bother to argue back. Shows are the only things I've really seen that have truly explored that, but they don't do it often. In CYOAs, that's a big no-no, however. The player is a presence in the story, maybe they aren't supposed to play as any one character, but they need to be IN the story. They need a constant stream of information, they need to know what's going on. They can't take the time to bite the hand that's feeding them.
But enough of this in-depth stuff, that game doesn't deserve such sensical analysis, it's awful!
Yeah, I was oversimplifying. I'm aware the story has more reasons to be bashed for than merely the title... and I applaud you on the effort in your analysis. However, I do think that sort of thing--having an argument with the narrator--can be done well. (It's just, it's way too easy to do it very, very badly.) I actually kind of enjoy stories that break the fourth wall.
Oh, I know, but I'm being optimistic. The guy is doing decent scripting and that's a hell of a lot better than I could do after 48 hours of being here. Yeah, had to mention it. Honestly, it does not matter how good the writing is if trying to read it gives me a headache. I hate it when people neglect proper spacing.
3J already (as well as Berka) decided that since the game isn't offensive and has end links, it narrowly squeaks by being publishable.

Disappointing, you'd think with a title like that some more effort would go into making it into a half way decent "offensive" story.
Could've had a whole plot about a serial killer rounding up women, throwing them into barrels and shooting them. He would do this because naturally his mom was an abusive barrel maker that would punish him by shoving him into a barrel for an extended period of time.
Eventually though he gets bored just shooting them so he starts hammering nails and spikes into the barrels and rolling them down a hill with the women inside them.
How would that build into a CYS story? I'm assuming it would place the PC as a detective chasing a man known as "The Barrel Shooter"...actually that sounds like it would make a good story. Too bad I'm too busy with another story otherwise I may take a shot at making it. But when you misspell a word in the title of your own storygame, you know that you've gone and screwed it up.
Fool! You'd play as "The barrel shooter" and the choices would decide a) can you escape the police and b) how creative the murders are. The there'd be nightmare sequences about your abusive parents.
It would be great.
He also gets into a serial killer territory feud with the "Salad Shooter."
A deranged hobo that goes around shooting vegetarians in the face because when he was little his dad lost his job as a butcher when health nuts shut the place down for being cruel to animals.
Or if you wanted to go the extra mile, you could give the option to play as either the detective or "The Barrel Shooter". The replay value would be significantly higher.
"The Salad Shooter" actually sounds like a really expensive and spicy salad. I want one.

I made a double post by accident. No need to give me a point.

- Not only does this game have a misleading title, but it is no more than three pages. Three pages! 50% of the links in the game just lead to to a broken page.

Unsure if you're still doing this. If not, it's fine of course, but you missed a couple of these. Thanks haha.
I'd like all comments on my only published storygame that are before 2014 to be deleted, as they are referring to an old version of the story.
I unpublished it twice and revised it 2 weeks ago but the comments returned when i re-published it.
I don't want the points, I just want all the misleading comments gone
The story: http://chooseyourstory.com/story/a-blaze-of-glory~3a-chapter-one
No... they shouldn't be removed. People can see how it was before it was revised. If you put it in the description (like you have) that it was re published then I don't see why they should be removed.
"people can see how it was before" No, before it was riddled with grammar mistakes and ALL comments talk about it. A newbie who wants to read the comments before playing (I do it every time) will see " LOL GRAMMAR SUCKS" or the milder " the story was good but the grammar was horrendous" .
I don't want them to get the wrong idea of the game. I can say that all pre-2014 comments are referring to another game, because, now with all the grammar fixed, I actually filled some plot holes that appeared when I made mistakes such as writing "then" instead of "than" or similar ones. It also makes a whole lot more sense now, as I only THOUGHT I put in some parts of the story when I originally posted it, but errors when writing pages ( when I finished writing a page, it simply deletes all I just wrote and redirects me to an error page) have caused it to be really...... "why are the characters acting like that?" , and this thing is also fixed now.
Also, when I unpublished it a few weeks ago, it said all comments were going to be deleted. WHY WEREN'T THEY????
Because they don't break the rules as was said. If you published it then that means it's finished.
If you update a game then the reviews shouldn't be removed.... Think of how abused that could be.
No. Those comments don't break site rules so they won't be deleted. Moreover, published games are meant to be finished and shouldn't require revision. Revision should be done prior to publishing.
revision as in grammar revision. My grammar back when I first published it was worse than I may want to admit.
Ok? The comments are still not breaking the rules and won't be deleted and revision, including grammar revision, should be done before the game is published.
Mousepaws N post in the "Start with a Letter" Forumgame thread if you want, I don't care for the points.
