As this is an idea relying heavily on audience participation &c., I thought it best to do a minithread to see if it was worth planning, so!
The idea is: an adventure game/choose your own adventure story, except now with 200% more comicness.
I shall draw a comic page or something of the sort to begin, and then the ToO will guide the player-character through suggesting actions. I don't think restricting them to a multiple-choice will come up very often, but preferably they wouldn't be too terribly complex (something which will probably require work on my end, too.) Presumably which action to take could be done in multiple ways:
1) voting; rather complex logistically, mostly because often people will agree with every bit of an action but some detail and feel the need to change it.
2. first one after narrator post; a bit unfair-sounding, if you ask me, but has the advantage of being easy to pick out.
iii. whichever one the narrator likes best; obviously I quite enjoy this idea, but the overall fun would probably take a hit in exchange for personal lulz.
四[4]) other ___________
If you think this would merit actual work, please vote as to what decision-making tool you would prefer, complete with explanation for number 四[4]?

Utter brilliance.
The most fair sounding one is the voting option, or perhaps just changing the method every so often?

No, you never should have.

Thanks. I was sort of wondering if it would make sense to anything but my constantly sleep-deprived brain.
Hmm. I could either rotate, then, or go with
1b) Voting in two stages: one, lasting $time (probably a day or so?), to decide what options would be used in the actual vote and then two, lasting $time (day or two, most likely), to decide which option would actually be used...?

This sounds very cool... and yeah, the voting thing, too. 
And I don't think multiple choice is too restricting.The problem is I don't have sufficient predictive/creative ability to come up with enough multiple-choice options which people would want to use...Taq wrote:And I don't think multiple choice is too restricting.
I do hope to be 'done' enough to get the thread started by the end of... I don't know, maybe next Sunday.
Most of the point of this (on my end) is, however, as an exercise to improve my art style on a continuous sort of basis. Don't really expect amazing masterpiece artwork, especially since I hope to have a new 'page' about once a week...
