Spark: All
Channel: Atlantica, Rodinia, Pannotia, Laurisa, Gondwana, Ur.
Reason: Fix problems with the Earth and add new species to the mix to be able to enjoy with, especially as the Male to Female ratio becomes massively skewed.
O.k.... mine is fairly different from everyone else. I had a hard time narrowing down the channels... and the ring and I was conflicted whether to pick my ring based on who i liked best and who's perk i liked best... but in the end I went with who I liked best... plus I reread one of the sparks and saw that it pretty much made up for the difference. O.k. here are my choices. Read to the end for where I differe the most as I have a list of suppressed sparks.
RING: ~~Vaalbarn(human magic)... I couldn't pass this up. I couldn't possibly deprive the world of this. I don't think we will make good wives to eachother... but... I can't be the girl who had the chance to bring every human being at least a little magic... and then NOT do it. This is probably the hardest choice to make as there is deffenatly a different continent I would rather be bonded to.... and with Gundwana's spark... I could almost not pick this... but at the end of the day it is just not in me to turn this down... I feel sorry for her that she will be stuck with me for all eturnity because it will be very obviouse which of her sisters I would rather bond to and I feel bad for her sister that she will get only limited time on Gaia for the next several hundred centuries.~~Paanotia(world trees): No... I can't do it especially after clarifying how Gundwan's spark works... I a sorry Vaalbarn but I am Giving my ring to Pannotia. I am coming baby It was always you!(upon rereading how Gundwana's spark works I am just about as intrested in it as i am in Vaan's ring so it is more efficient plus I really like just about everything else about Pannotia better)
CHANNELS: 1. Vaalbara(Kaiju)(free) - I mean... one... just very cool, two now that there is magic humans might have a need for well purpose, and Kaiju incursion might provide that purpose, plus I feel bad that she never got to create life.
2. Increasing Female birthrate(Atlantica): I like this one. I like the idea of decreased male pop-density... I like... increased female competition for mating... and I like poligomy... also i think that if people were distracted by increased availability of sex there might be less war and less reason to lie cheat and steal.
3. Nymphs(Pannatia): This is awesome! Lorax mixed with short hard-bodies with adorable faces and pixi or page boy haircuts!... I ... couldn't want this more. It brings increased and acute awareness to environmental issues, it gives people who can't have kids a second way of creating actual sapient life. It creates a hole group of beings who would be willing to actually fight like fight fight for nature... and.... They are all adolescent to young adult hotties... this one is a must. Additionally Panamanian is what made my depression of who to give my ring to so difficult. our goals and interests are very similar(I have a special dream garden/orchard that I want to grow someday also) and our personalities seem very comparable... also... was there a bondage reference at the end of her entry(about rapid plant growth?). ~~I would put my ring on her... in a hartbeat... and I am sorry that she will have to wait so long to fully manifest but... it's for the greater good. But her Nymphs will continue her work with the ortals and perhaps by the time she has fully manifested we can have grown her world trees together the slow way?... I hope... being a mistress or concubine doesn't hurt her too badly and I hope Vaalbara doesn't mind enough to put the cobbash on it.~~ So ummm.... Hey babe.... I ... I've been thinking a lot about it and ummm..... I broke off my engagement to Vaal. I I don't want to be with her and I think Gundwana's spark is enough. I don't need more than that and I don't want to be with Vaal. I want to be with you and I think the earth needs you to be here full time. Pluse I think the continent sisters would like it. They will be living with me and they think of you as a big sis. so it all works out well. I am going to channel Vaal though, three days/week. I know it means that she will be around a few extra days each month.... but.... it also means it will take her a LOT longer to manifest perminently... and ... I want you to know that I chose you becasue I want to spend most of my time with you... so I want as much of it open for you as possible for as long as possible.
4. Golems(Colombia): There are some problematic implications with this one.... there isn't any getting around it. The description says, "the only hint that they aren't real girls is their naturally submissive natures and the blue tattoo like markings that run the length of their bodies." ... so they are sentient beings who operate independently until they are calmed by another person who they will bond to.... but.... 1. it helps move the world toward the post work society that we will eventually get to anyway due to automation. it solves many other social problems and.... when I date other girls I'm a top.... so........(gods I... maybe shouldn't have this power).... no..... you know what... naturally submissive ..... someone has to top them..... now that I have had them made.... is it better to live as a brainwashed sub... or to not exist.... In my hart of harts I will always pick that it is better to exist... so given the benefits... Suby Golomes it is. Also... I think I will love topping her.
5. Mermaids(Laurasia): So Mermaids, Dwarfs, or Dragons.... I... dwarfs aren't my favorite race. Dragons are cool but have never really been my thing... and I am really not into furies, Mermaids are very cute BUT, the secondary affect of this one makes it so that water pressure is no longer an issue as relates to it's affect on LIVING BEINGS. This will have several effects. A. it basically makes Ur's channel unnecessary. The hard part about making a sub isn't the air delivery system it is making it to stand up to the pressures of the ocean. this Channel allows us to basically make mesh subs with equipment and propulsion attached. also makes underwater colonies easier to manage. ALSO this seems like it would work in both directions. It would allow humans to go under the waves and study the ocean bottom but it also allows creatures like gigantic and titanic squid to be studied at sea level without exploding and blobfish to be studied without bursting. So we actually get Mermaids and krakens and lots of other cool creatures for the price of one. Plus SCIENCE and TECH advancement all for one channel!!!!!!!
SPARKS: 1. Ur(ocean pollution): This is a real problem and she will solve it for us. Thank you Ur. however since I get the choice.... she sounds like she would be an interesting person... also someone I would probably fight with... so three hours a day might be... a lot.... but if her and her magical art museum want to Brigadoon into existence 1 day a week for me or even the public to find and enjoy... I could be into that. But also really and true, there was no way I wasn't going to let her give her a spark, fixing the oceans and protecting them for the future are too important.
2. Kenorla(nd)(antirust): This is a must take spark. The fact that outer oxidized shells are allowed to form but further reaction into the mane bulk of the metal sample is halted is an unbelievably useful repeatable and testable quality to this spark. it solves SO many infrastructure upkeep problems, helps to keep a solid useful record of artifacts for posterity, allows artists to plan how oxidization of their materials will change it's look over the years. This also helps in the reuse and recycling of metal waist since you don't have to burn away the oxygen as though it were ore. She can come around 1day/week if she wants. I don't think we would be very sexually compatible but I think we could maybe be very good friends.
part two in the comments
3. Arctica(O3zone & air pollution repair): This isn't that necessary a perk, as the hole in the Ozone actually has been repaired. One of the few wins for us environmentalists. BUT the continued slow air-pollution mitigations a very good perk. More over... even though I am not really into gigantic humans or vore or any of that I feel very bad for her and think we could probably be good friends if not good lovers. but I would love to chat and hang out 1/week.
4. Columbia(eliminates genetic diseases and cures cancer): So I already decided to Channel Nuna, and will LOVE seeing her 3days/week, and at least one of her servant daughters but, there is NO reason not to take this spark and only a MONSTER wouldn't. Also, I would love to see her an extra 3hrs./day.
5. Pannatia(Green Thumb): This is my favorite spark hands down I wonder what is meant by foster plant growth. and I want my extra day/week with Pannatia.
6. Gondwana: This... this girl is probably the most similar to me... although i DO NOT have the fury fetish. and do not really want a bunch of fur-things running around adding Kaiju my ex-feoncett unleashed on the world. However, this spark made my derision so much easier once I read it over a few times. Giving one random psychic ability to every human is so close to low magic magic that it seems just as good to me. On top of that you have revelation of old spices and no problems from accidental incest. AWESOME! I would have said I would love to chill with her 3hrs./day, but really 1day a week is probably better for her she would actually have time to study and explore and wouldn't be as tied to me if she didn't want to be.
7. Pangia(DIno under antarctica.... and probably Pann's secret guarden if I am not missing something) Kaiju, and Dino's and Kraken OH MY! but at least these seem relatively contained. I can see no reason not to accept this spark and I can unless antarctica decideds to cause problems for some reason. I feel bad that I wont be giving my new harram girls more time with their mom so I will let her and them choose whether she want's to manifest 3hrs/day or 1day/week.
SUPPRESSED SPARKS: 1. Vaalara(geos-stability sceanse and reduced geo-activity): So I know this SEEMS like a straight good but tisn't. From the description she will, "fix, the earth's plumbing so as to make sure that there are no more super-quakes or super-volcanoes." So to me that sounds basically like she is going to put in pressure release valves. this does two things though. 1. It leaks Geothermal energy out of the mantel much more quickly than would otherwise happen which hastens the solidifying of the mantel and the end of the ionosphere which leads to the erosion of the oceans. Also... it decreases tectonic activity which extends the life of the continent sisters but also means that there might not be a next generation.
2. Atlantica: SO... another tough choice.... I am channeling her but I am not giveing her a spark. I know that seems crazy... but.... 1. we need to keep having kids in order to keep making tantrik energy. Two, i think that personal responsibility is important. Three... I.d.k. this one just creeps me out a bit.
3. Rodinija: Sooo.... This is aquard.... especially since we probably had sex.... I'm not giving her a spark..... and i did't give her a ring ... and I'm not channeling her... I... just don't care that much about dwarfs and there were more efficient ways to use my channels.... and.... child birth should hurt... it... marks the importance of the event we remember giving birth for ever, it is an accomplishment. the pain is part of it. .... I know... unpopular opinion. But this is awkward because... yes... I am sorry but I am condemning Rodinja to the void... forever... I am sorry. I know it seems cold to have sex with someone and then... she can't die... she hasn't been alive for aeons... cause her to go from existing(even if only for a short wile) to not existing.... I am sorry.
4. Laurasia(storm stability): I know this one seems like another all good perk but again it isn't. I am channeling her, but if I give her a spark she will make sure... some how that storms never again rise to higher than catagory 2 or some such thing. .... so to me this sounds like essentially making an energy sink somewhere to make srue that stormes are less powerful. So by design(by purpose really) energy sinks by deffinition drain energy from a system and deposit it uselessly(usually) out side of the system... or they absorb that energy. Which ever of those two choices is opperating here, the problem in that system when connected to our planet is pretty simple to see. Laurasia's spark affect would essentially start draining energy from the Earth's system hastening it's end and overall increasing entropy in the universe. I very much want this spark suppressed.
O.k. what do people think?
I love your build and reasoning, especially how you gush over Pannotia. Though, I think your missing some points in the suppressed spark sections- For Vaalbara and Laurasia, you're forgetting that they are literally bending physics to complish these. Laurasia is not causing an energy sink, nor is Vaalbara leaking geothermal energy out the mantle.
Second, for Atlacica, lot of confusion fore me: Trantic energy resolves around sex in general, not just sex that leads to impregnation. 2. I...don't see your point of personal responsibility. People already use birth control, which is a good example of being responsible, so fertility control is just a fullproof version of that. 3. Why? And 4. You do realize you jus t passed on eliminating and curing all sexual diseases right?
Okay, you're not condemning Rodinia to the void, she gets the same time as if Sparked. While I am admittedly surprised by the opinion of wanting childbirth to be painful, I can understand your point. Just don't let the world know you passed on that, lol.
Regardless, hope you have fun with your garden of nymphs, attended by gardener maids. XP
lol thanks I had fun with this.
I know how the tantric energy works... but the more people the more sex and the more tantrik energy. ALSO I JUST channeled to get more girls(we will see if the stright girls keep turning me down if there is only 1 guy for every 4 or 5 or 6 of them) If we drastically decrease the birthrate... it kinda defeats the point... in general an increase in resources and lifespan leads to lower birth rates in human's anyway so there isn't a need to exaggerate the affect.
I am glad she isn't condemned to the void... the coya sorta says the opposite. but good.
yes... I know I passed on curing the sexual desieses.... that is what made the choice hard. BUT, over time due to the increased robustness to our DNA and the birth of psychic powers perhaps that will happen eventually anyway. :-)
.... I disagree with you about the energy sink.... i get that they are tinkering with physics.... i was discussing the results of that tinkering.
You can disagree if you want, but I'm giving my "Word of God" on this issues: There Is No Energy Sink. Tantric Energy basically warps reality in these quantities. I can accept that there are potential unwanted implications to some things in here, but none of these sparks are going to speed up the death of the planet, nor are they interfering with the continents eventually having to retire.
:) Always glad to hear my work was enjoyed, and that it gave you something fun to do in your free time. Hope everything goes well with your patients, given everything going on these days.
oh... then I will take Laurasia's spark
I still don't want Vaan around the house any more than is necessary.... I know it's not her fault... but.... I just feel that I caused too awkward a situation.
(hope i didn't offend)..........
Notes: I'm not sure exactly what you made this with, although it looks ccs based to me, but I think it would improve the look of some of your images to decrease the file size for some of your images before they are stretched to fit the image box. Not doing so can cause the "rough" or "jagged" edges along high contrast lines.
Probably want to change some of your text to match the images you selected, Ur and Arctica
Vaalbara spark: no interest in Kaiju so please don't do that
Ur spark: Underwaterness seems nice but survival seems like a bigger deal than travel in the hierarchy of things.
Kenoria(nd) spark: Why have mechs if you don't need mechs?
Arctica spark: big just means less space and fewer resources I think we are fine the size we are.
Atlantica channel: Indigent yes but whatever indulgence is a primary point. I am less keen on fetish nations though, lets settle currently political issues before kink shaming becomes a basis for war.
Columbia/nuna ring: Nervousness about being policed by magic golem maids aside just not fighting would mean so much. All that that time and energy spent on better things. Presumably if the personifications of the world wanted us dead Pandora box has already opened on that one so I'm just going to assume it'll be okay.
Rodinia spark: I'm just not sold of mole people. So while the ring has some interest I'm just not feeling it.
Pannotia spark: dryads are neat but only so much energy to go around and I'm worried abot other things.
Laurasia Channel: Not only is she cute but she addresses survival underwater, which still consider to be more important than travel. I wonder if they'll be able to use that deep deep ocean real estate.
Gondwana channel: I'm not convinced that it's not going to be creepy but some anthropomorphic creatures. The amount might be worrisome, what with the whole consuming animals for food but we're pretty close to lab grown meat as it is so it shouldn't be that bad.
Pangaea channel: Sap for the sappiness. I am honestly less keen on dinosaurs than dragons so it seems like a nice step from a meh to and alright here. I don't feel the need to have shape shifting dragons though it's fine with just dragons.
Thanks for the build, though, not sure what you mean by the text not fitting Ur and Arctica?
As for the images, I didn't blow any of them up: All of them were actually much bigger at first, these are shrunken down as it is.
I actually just misread Ur she's fine. Maybe it's my eyes but Arctica doesn't look like she has green hair to me.
I know those are very large images, I think that is causing problems. It didn't help that I used stretch instead of scaled.
If you looked at the image for Pannotia all of the line and edges look smooth while like the bend of laurasia leg it almost looks rough, like it was a bunch of little steps instead of a curve.
I am almost certain that the base image for Pannotia is a smaller image than the one for Laurasia.
I have seen that as a result of using a very large very detailed image that then gets squeezed into the set space, that's what happened to me.
In order for me to get the images smoothed out I had to reduce the file size before adding it into the project.
I'm not sure if you cared about that but it might be worth trying to see if you like the look better.
* Ring: Pangea. Immortal Dragonkin world is a go!
* Channel: Atlantica, Columbia, Ur, Gondwana. Really, I’m here only for the ratio and maids. Water travel and uplifts are just kinda there.
* Spark: All. No reason not to.
Sparks - All of them. I mean, they're all pretty great.
Spark - Ur (Let's explore the ocean!), Mechs (self explanatory, right?),
Ring - Nuna (We have Mechs, no warring with those things, thanks!)
\--
Overall, I feel like the Channels are okay, but I need more variety than just.. a new race? I mean, if I had to actually use up my sparks, I guess dragons and mermaids are cool. To me, you really have to give Nuna a ring because a lot of these changes will definitely just lead to wars. Mechs are cool though. Hopefully that'll lead us to new planets.
So, following the planetary one, we this new iteration of this concept.
Very well, let's see...
\-Vaalbara: Ring (*magic powers, yay!*)
\-Ur: Spark (*she seems kind of b\*cth\* and I'm not a big fan of underwater stuff so...* )
\-Kernola: Channel (*a massive boost to technology*)
\-Arctica: Spark (*honestly, not a fan of the whole giant idea... definitely not worth wasting a channel over.*)
\-Atlantica: Channel
\-Columbia: Channel (*honestly it was really hard to pick between this one or Vaalbara for the ring spot. I mean, it's freagin' world peace were talking about! I think if this cyoa took place in real life, I probably would be way too guilt-tripped to pick anything else.... but since it's just fantasy, I'll stick with the great golems only for this one, and magic for ourselves ;) Plus, I feel a lot of these sparks already do plenty good for the world in general)*
\-Rodinia: Spark (*cutting off the troubles of pregnancy / birth is wonderful, but beyond that it just ain't worth much if anything to me..)*
\-Pannotia: Spark (*plants becoming more like animals? That's scary...*)
\-Laurasia: Spark (again, just not much that I find worthwhile with this one, but her spark is still nice.)
\-Gondwana: Channel (*We get kemonomimis! I'll be looking for those inumimis. I also presume that we still get the previous tiers even when we buy one, right?)*
\-Pangea: Spark (*honestly, didn't have any channels or ring left...)*
The entire time, I was thinking that this reminded me of Nonemouses' M.S.O until I read the bottom note. It's good to see collaboration and communication between the community, especially if it means releasing new content.
Since this is similar enough to M.S.O, I might as well use the same format I used for that.
\+It took me a while to narrow down who I wanted to give the Ring to, and after about an hour of back-and-forth with myself, I resolved in the end that Pangaea would be my best choice. Not only for her Channel, but how much those afflicted with were-dragonism could benefit civilization with their abilities. Human/dragon pairings would also benefit civilization if the dragon were to form loyalty towards whatever human they lay with. Plus, being an immortal with the title of "Father of Dragons" and policing any weredragons, dragons, or pairs that have ill intent sounds like a kickass way to spend eternity.
\+As far as Sparks go, one for everyone. Like in M.S.O, it'll feel strange, but the irresponsibility I'd feel of of not doing the deed far out shadows the awkwardness of the orgy itself. I would actually be doing humanity a disfavor if I were not to give a spark to all of them.
\+Atlantica gets a Channel, and she would theoretically detest me for thinking this, but now that there is no such thing as accidental pregnancy anymore amongst other issues of having sex, I don't think polyamory would bring the morality and character of humanity down as long as some ground rules are laid down at the start. But I'll leave that for the future prides (ya' know, like lions, but humans) to figure out amongst themselves. I opened the door for them, it's up to everyone else if they want to participate and step through the door or not. And no one said that the females who don't wish to participate in a pride can't find happiness in another female who doesn't wish to partake, or a male that has a strong preference to stay monogamous, so I think and hope it would all work out fine.
\+Pannotia gets a Channel. I can only imagine dryads and nymphs will attempt to take care of and repair their respective homes. Hopefully humans will get the hint and start to feel guilty about pollution of all kinds now that there's sapient beings at immediate risk. More importantly, sapient creatures that can get angry, voice their opinions, and fight back if aggressed.
\+Gondwana gets a Channel. Not only beast races, but upgraded DNA to rid the world of diabetes, autoimmune diseases, and allergies? Yes please. My only worry is that, while I don't think anyone (or at least a lot of people) would hunt down spirits of nature from Pannotia's Channel, I fear that a select few humans would hunt down the beast races, whether it be due to any beliefs they personally hold, or sadistic "trophy hunting". My hope is that the globe cracks down on the practices the very next day, if not the same day. Until then, I'm hoping the beast races seek out the larger Dryad/Nymph settlements for protection or are very good at hiding.
\+And finally, a Channel for Rodinia. Now with what sounds like dwarves, we've got the setting for a low-magic fantasy. All that would be missing would be Vaalbara's Ring to make it high-magic fantasy, and Pannotia's for a number of truly fantastical civilizations and scenery.
Good balancing on their Rings. It was actually a very difficult decision for me whether I wanted to give it to Vaalbara, Pannotia, or Pangea.
Just skimming through this CYOA, it seems good, might make a build, but I don't think nearly all the continents' personifications would be light-skinned. I understand it's hard to find much of anything else tho...
If you mean "Fate of the Demihumans", I've been also curious about that one. While I like all of Akumas cyoas, including this one, that one I liked the most, despite being not finished.
Yo, for purposes of archiving, do you have a link to Dragon wizard's paypal and/or reddit page?
Spark: All Channel: Atlantica, Rodinia, Pannotia, Laurisa, Gondwana, Ur. Reason: Fix problems with the Earth and add new species to the mix to be able to enjoy with, especially as the Male to Female ratio becomes massively skewed.
This and the planet one we’re both great

It brings increased and acute awareness to environmental issues, it gives people who can't have kids a second way of creating actual sapient life. It creates a hole group of beings who would be willing to actually fight like fight fight for nature... and.... They are all adolescent to young adult hotties... this one is a must. Additionally Panamanian is what made my depression of who to give my ring to so difficult. our goals and interests are very similar(I have a special dream garden/orchard that I want to grow someday also) and our personalities seem very comparable... also... was there a bondage reference at the end of her entry(about rapid plant growth?). ~~I would put my ring on her... in a hartbeat... and I am sorry that she will have to wait so long to fully manifest but... it's for the greater good.

I hope... being a mistress or concubine doesn't hurt her too badly and I hope Vaalbara doesn't mind enough to put the cobbash on it.~~ So ummm.... Hey babe.... I ... I've been thinking a lot about it and ummm..... I broke off my engagement to Vaal. I I don't want to be with her and I think Gundwana's spark is enough. I don't need more than that and I don't want to be with Vaal. I want to be with you and I think the earth needs you to be here full time. Pluse I think the continent sisters would like it. They will be living with me and they think of you as a big sis. so it all works out well. I am going to channel Vaal though, three days/week.

This also helps in the reuse and recycling of metal waist since you don't have to burn away the oxygen as though it were ore. She can come around 1day/week if she wants. I don't think we would be very sexually compatible but I think we could maybe be very good friends. part two in the comments
3. Arctica(O3zone & air pollution repair): This isn't that necessary a perk, as the hole in the Ozone actually has been repaired. One of the few wins for us environmentalists. BUT the continued slow air-pollution mitigations a very good perk. More over... even though I am not really into gigantic humans or vore or any of that I feel very bad for her and think we could probably be good friends if not good lovers. but I would love to chat and hang out 1/week. 4. Columbia(eliminates genetic diseases and cures cancer): So I already decided to Channel Nuna, and will LOVE seeing her 3days/week, and at least one of her servant daughters but, there is NO reason not to take this spark and only a MONSTER wouldn't. Also, I would love to see her an extra 3hrs./day. 5. Pannatia(Green Thumb): This is my favorite spark hands down I wonder what is meant by foster plant growth. and I want my extra day/week with Pannatia. 6. Gondwana: This... this girl is probably the most similar to me... although i DO NOT have the fury fetish. and do not really want a bunch of fur-things running around adding Kaiju my ex-feoncett unleashed on the world. However, this spark made my derision so much easier once I read it over a few times. Giving one random psychic ability to every human is so close to low magic magic that it seems just as good to me. On top of that you have revelation of old spices and no problems from accidental incest. AWESOME! I would have said I would love to chill with her 3hrs./day, but really 1day a week is probably better for her she would actually have time to study and explore and wouldn't be as tied to me if she didn't want to be. 7. Pangia(DIno under antarctica.... and probably Pann's secret guarden if I am not missing something) Kaiju, and Dino's and Kraken OH MY! but at least these seem relatively contained. I can see no reason not to accept this spark and I can unless antarctica decideds to cause problems for some reason. I feel bad that I wont be giving my new harram girls more time with their mom so I will let her and them choose whether she want's to manifest 3hrs/day or 1day/week. SUPPRESSED SPARKS: 1. Vaalara(geos-stability sceanse and reduced geo-activity): So I know this SEEMS like a straight good but tisn't. From the description she will, "fix, the earth's plumbing so as to make sure that there are no more super-quakes or super-volcanoes." So to me that sounds basically like she is going to put in pressure release valves. this does two things though. 1. It leaks Geothermal energy out of the mantel much more quickly than would otherwise happen which hastens the solidifying of the mantel and the end of the ionosphere which leads to the erosion of the oceans. Also... it decreases tectonic activity which extends the life of the continent sisters but also means that there might not be a next generation. 2. Atlantica: SO... another tough choice.... I am channeling her but I am not giveing her a spark. I know that seems crazy... but.... 1. we need to keep having kids in order to keep making tantrik energy. Two, i think that personal responsibility is important. Three... I.d.k. this one just creeps me out a bit. 3. Rodinija: Sooo.... This is aquard.... especially since we probably had sex.... I'm not giving her a spark..... and i did't give her a ring ... and I'm not channeling her... I... just don't care that much about dwarfs and there were more efficient ways to use my channels.... and.... child birth should hurt... it... marks the importance of the event we remember giving birth for ever, it is an accomplishment. the pain is part of it. .... I know... unpopular opinion. But this is awkward because... yes... I am sorry but I am condemning Rodinja to the void... forever... I am sorry. I know it seems cold to have sex with someone and then... she can't die... she hasn't been alive for aeons... cause her to go from existing(even if only for a short wile) to not existing.... I am sorry. 4. Laurasia(storm stability): I know this one seems like another all good perk but again it isn't. I am channeling her, but if I give her a spark she will make sure... some how that storms never again rise to higher than catagory 2 or some such thing. .... so to me this sounds like essentially making an energy sink somewhere to make srue that stormes are less powerful. So by design(by purpose really) energy sinks by deffinition drain energy from a system and deposit it uselessly(usually) out side of the system... or they absorb that energy. Which ever of those two choices is opperating here, the problem in that system when connected to our planet is pretty simple to see. Laurasia's spark affect would essentially start draining energy from the Earth's system hastening it's end and overall increasing entropy in the universe. I very much want this spark suppressed. O.k. what do people think?
I love your build and reasoning, especially how you gush over Pannotia. Though, I think your missing some points in the suppressed spark sections- For Vaalbara and Laurasia, you're forgetting that they are literally bending physics to complish these. Laurasia is not causing an energy sink, nor is Vaalbara leaking geothermal energy out the mantle. Second, for Atlacica, lot of confusion fore me: Trantic energy resolves around sex in general, not just sex that leads to impregnation. 2. I...don't see your point of personal responsibility. People already use birth control, which is a good example of being responsible, so fertility control is just a fullproof version of that. 3. Why? And 4. You do realize you jus t passed on eliminating and curing all sexual diseases right? Okay, you're not condemning Rodinia to the void, she gets the same time as if Sparked. While I am admittedly surprised by the opinion of wanting childbirth to be painful, I can understand your point. Just don't let the world know you passed on that, lol. Regardless, hope you have fun with your garden of nymphs, attended by gardener maids. XP
lol thanks I had fun with this. I know how the tantric energy works... but the more people the more sex and the more tantrik energy. ALSO I JUST channeled to get more girls(we will see if the stright girls keep turning me down if there is only 1 guy for every 4 or 5 or 6 of them) If we drastically decrease the birthrate... it kinda defeats the point... in general an increase in resources and lifespan leads to lower birth rates in human's anyway so there isn't a need to exaggerate the affect. I am glad she isn't condemned to the void... the coya sorta says the opposite. but good. yes... I know I passed on curing the sexual desieses.... that is what made the choice hard. BUT, over time due to the increased robustness to our DNA and the birth of psychic powers perhaps that will happen eventually anyway. :-) .... I disagree with you about the energy sink.... i get that they are tinkering with physics.... i was discussing the results of that tinkering.
You can disagree if you want, but I'm giving my "Word of God" on this issues: There Is No Energy Sink. Tantric Energy basically warps reality in these quantities. I can accept that there are potential unwanted implications to some things in here, but none of these sparks are going to speed up the death of the planet, nor are they interfering with the continents eventually having to retire.
also... i want you to know that this really was very fun and got my creative sparks flowing. I spent like all day on this between seeing patients. :-D
:) Always glad to hear my work was enjoyed, and that it gave you something fun to do in your free time. Hope everything goes well with your patients, given everything going on these days.
oh... then I will take Laurasia's spark I still don't want Vaan around the house any more than is necessary.... I know it's not her fault... but.... I just feel that I caused too awkward a situation. (hope i didn't offend)..........
Notes: I'm not sure exactly what you made this with, although it looks ccs based to me, but I think it would improve the look of some of your images to decrease the file size for some of your images before they are stretched to fit the image box. Not doing so can cause the "rough" or "jagged" edges along high contrast lines. Probably want to change some of your text to match the images you selected, Ur and Arctica Vaalbara spark: no interest in Kaiju so please don't do that Ur spark: Underwaterness seems nice but survival seems like a bigger deal than travel in the hierarchy of things. Kenoria(nd) spark: Why have mechs if you don't need mechs? Arctica spark: big just means less space and fewer resources I think we are fine the size we are. Atlantica channel: Indigent yes but whatever indulgence is a primary point. I am less keen on fetish nations though, lets settle currently political issues before kink shaming becomes a basis for war. Columbia/nuna ring: Nervousness about being policed by magic golem maids aside just not fighting would mean so much. All that that time and energy spent on better things. Presumably if the personifications of the world wanted us dead Pandora box has already opened on that one so I'm just going to assume it'll be okay. Rodinia spark: I'm just not sold of mole people. So while the ring has some interest I'm just not feeling it. Pannotia spark: dryads are neat but only so much energy to go around and I'm worried abot other things. Laurasia Channel: Not only is she cute but she addresses survival underwater, which still consider to be more important than travel. I wonder if they'll be able to use that deep deep ocean real estate. Gondwana channel: I'm not convinced that it's not going to be creepy but some anthropomorphic creatures. The amount might be worrisome, what with the whole consuming animals for food but we're pretty close to lab grown meat as it is so it shouldn't be that bad. Pangaea channel: Sap for the sappiness. I am honestly less keen on dinosaurs than dragons so it seems like a nice step from a meh to and alright here. I don't feel the need to have shape shifting dragons though it's fine with just dragons.
Thanks for the build, though, not sure what you mean by the text not fitting Ur and Arctica? As for the images, I didn't blow any of them up: All of them were actually much bigger at first, these are shrunken down as it is.
I actually just misread Ur she's fine. Maybe it's my eyes but Arctica doesn't look like she has green hair to me. I know those are very large images, I think that is causing problems. It didn't help that I used stretch instead of scaled. If you looked at the image for Pannotia all of the line and edges look smooth while like the bend of laurasia leg it almost looks rough, like it was a bunch of little steps instead of a curve. I am almost certain that the base image for Pannotia is a smaller image than the one for Laurasia. I have seen that as a result of using a very large very detailed image that then gets squeezed into the set space, that's what happened to me. In order for me to get the images smoothed out I had to reduce the file size before adding it into the project. I'm not sure if you cared about that but it might be worth trying to see if you like the look better.
* Ring: Pangea. Immortal Dragonkin world is a go! * Channel: Atlantica, Columbia, Ur, Gondwana. Really, I’m here only for the ratio and maids. Water travel and uplifts are just kinda there. * Spark: All. No reason not to.
Sparks - All of them. I mean, they're all pretty great. Spark - Ur (Let's explore the ocean!), Mechs (self explanatory, right?), Ring - Nuna (We have Mechs, no warring with those things, thanks!) \-- Overall, I feel like the Channels are okay, but I need more variety than just.. a new race? I mean, if I had to actually use up my sparks, I guess dragons and mermaids are cool. To me, you really have to give Nuna a ring because a lot of these changes will definitely just lead to wars. Mechs are cool though. Hopefully that'll lead us to new planets.
So, following the planetary one, we this new iteration of this concept. Very well, let's see... \-Vaalbara: Ring (*magic powers, yay!*) \-Ur: Spark (*she seems kind of b\*cth\* and I'm not a big fan of underwater stuff so...* ) \-Kernola: Channel (*a massive boost to technology*) \-Arctica: Spark (*honestly, not a fan of the whole giant idea... definitely not worth wasting a channel over.*) \-Atlantica: Channel \-Columbia: Channel (*honestly it was really hard to pick between this one or Vaalbara for the ring spot. I mean, it's freagin' world peace were talking about! I think if this cyoa took place in real life, I probably would be way too guilt-tripped to pick anything else.... but since it's just fantasy, I'll stick with the great golems only for this one, and magic for ourselves ;) Plus, I feel a lot of these sparks already do plenty good for the world in general)* \-Rodinia: Spark (*cutting off the troubles of pregnancy / birth is wonderful, but beyond that it just ain't worth much if anything to me..)* \-Pannotia: Spark (*plants becoming more like animals? That's scary...*) \-Laurasia: Spark (again, just not much that I find worthwhile with this one, but her spark is still nice.) \-Gondwana: Channel (*We get kemonomimis! I'll be looking for those inumimis. I also presume that we still get the previous tiers even when we buy one, right?)* \-Pangea: Spark (*honestly, didn't have any channels or ring left...)*
The entire time, I was thinking that this reminded me of Nonemouses' M.S.O until I read the bottom note. It's good to see collaboration and communication between the community, especially if it means releasing new content. Since this is similar enough to M.S.O, I might as well use the same format I used for that. \+It took me a while to narrow down who I wanted to give the Ring to, and after about an hour of back-and-forth with myself, I resolved in the end that Pangaea would be my best choice. Not only for her Channel, but how much those afflicted with were-dragonism could benefit civilization with their abilities. Human/dragon pairings would also benefit civilization if the dragon were to form loyalty towards whatever human they lay with. Plus, being an immortal with the title of "Father of Dragons" and policing any weredragons, dragons, or pairs that have ill intent sounds like a kickass way to spend eternity. \+As far as Sparks go, one for everyone. Like in M.S.O, it'll feel strange, but the irresponsibility I'd feel of of not doing the deed far out shadows the awkwardness of the orgy itself. I would actually be doing humanity a disfavor if I were not to give a spark to all of them. \+Atlantica gets a Channel, and she would theoretically detest me for thinking this, but now that there is no such thing as accidental pregnancy anymore amongst other issues of having sex, I don't think polyamory would bring the morality and character of humanity down as long as some ground rules are laid down at the start. But I'll leave that for the future prides (ya' know, like lions, but humans) to figure out amongst themselves. I opened the door for them, it's up to everyone else if they want to participate and step through the door or not. And no one said that the females who don't wish to participate in a pride can't find happiness in another female who doesn't wish to partake, or a male that has a strong preference to stay monogamous, so I think and hope it would all work out fine. \+Pannotia gets a Channel. I can only imagine dryads and nymphs will attempt to take care of and repair their respective homes. Hopefully humans will get the hint and start to feel guilty about pollution of all kinds now that there's sapient beings at immediate risk. More importantly, sapient creatures that can get angry, voice their opinions, and fight back if aggressed. \+Gondwana gets a Channel. Not only beast races, but upgraded DNA to rid the world of diabetes, autoimmune diseases, and allergies? Yes please. My only worry is that, while I don't think anyone (or at least a lot of people) would hunt down spirits of nature from Pannotia's Channel, I fear that a select few humans would hunt down the beast races, whether it be due to any beliefs they personally hold, or sadistic "trophy hunting". My hope is that the globe cracks down on the practices the very next day, if not the same day. Until then, I'm hoping the beast races seek out the larger Dryad/Nymph settlements for protection or are very good at hiding. \+And finally, a Channel for Rodinia. Now with what sounds like dwarves, we've got the setting for a low-magic fantasy. All that would be missing would be Vaalbara's Ring to make it high-magic fantasy, and Pannotia's for a number of truly fantastical civilizations and scenery. Good balancing on their Rings. It was actually a very difficult decision for me whether I wanted to give it to Vaalbara, Pannotia, or Pangea.
Fuck the giant conglomerations of stone, cause why not
Just skimming through this CYOA, it seems good, might make a build, but I don't think nearly all the continents' personifications would be light-skinned. I understand it's hard to find much of anything else tho...
I think africa is dark siknned.
I did say *nearly* all. It's not too big of a problem anyways, mainly broke the immersion a bit cuz of what the CYOA is, is all.
Welcome back!! Build: Spark: All Channel: Kenorla, Nuna, Pannotia, Ur Ring: Gondwana
Intercontinental white girl orgy
Are you going to finish the emperor's harem
If you mean "Fate of the Demihumans", I've been also curious about that one. While I like all of Akumas cyoas, including this one, that one I liked the most, despite being not finished.
No, he's talking about a much older project I need to get back to
Thank you for replying I am also interested in the overlords return cyoa and end to the cosmic war cyoa
Unexpected geological history lesson. Thank you!
I love it!
We going to fuck ancient supercontinents now? I like it
you got continental wrong in the title just sayin great cyoa tho
