Ll wants bagel on team because he loves Bagel's character Dotto the tanuki

Corvid, tipler, Hyu.
Lurker, Sarc, Bagel.

>Corvid, tipler, Sarcophagus
The dog, the fish, and the creature huddle together at one of the drawing stations.

“Alright, first things first, is the protag a boy or a girl?” tipler asks, stealing control from team leader Corvid immediately.

“Um, girl?” says Corvid.

“Boy.” insists Sarcophagus. “Easier to have a guy with lots of girls than a girl with lots of guys.”

“Well, okay, but they don’t have to have sex. There can just be tension. Also, gays.” Corvid protests.

tipler ineffectually pounds the table with his hand fin. “The people want PIV sex and we have to give the people what they want.” Tears stream down his face. “It doesn’t matter what we think is right. I will compromise ever moral I’ve ever had for maximal clout.”

Corvid sighs and helps the lads design a classic assembly of emotionally vulnerable and kinky furry waifus.

>LL, Hymitsu, Bagel

Lurking Lurker has maintained control of his team, and lays down the ground rules early.
“Nudity? Sure. Sex? No. We will titillate but not fall for the trap of graphic sexual content.”

“Fine with me.” says Hymitsu

“We can even have a female MC and mostly female ensemble.” adds Bagel eagerly. “Rotating POVs, butts, maybe one smooch a year if they’re lucky.”

The group designs a mix of humanoid and furry ladies with relatively low horny levels.

Which team wins?

Lurker's team. It's what the people truly crave. The other team doesn't realize that questden chickens out before the actual sex, like, 90% of the time.

Lurker's team wins because they get along and have a unified vision!

Corvid's team explodes

Lurker wins handily. After all, everyone knows the Questden motto: "No Way Fag"

>>1019852
Lurkers party, sorry sarc :(

The collected niche audiences vote team Cortiphagus into victory before turning on each other in a civil war.

Lurker's team, but only because tipler sabotages team Corvid by making every potential lewd scene's art into a meme.

LL's team plays hard to get and has lasting appeal, tiplers ensemble is good for a wank but then their quest will die

>LL’s team wins!

You inspect both offerings and balk at the overt sexual content of Corvid’s team. LL’s samples are sweet and simple, and you can see the lasting appeal, not to mention the better team dynamics.

Since Corvid is still immune to elimination that means you have an exciting head to head on your hands. Sarcophagus vs. tipler! Choose how they battle, preferably in a way that doesn’t involve quests at all.

>>1019866
Flintlocks at 20 paces

Rock paper tactical nuclear warhead

>>1019869
The mindgames in this one are intense, as both contestants rack their brains trying to guess whether tactical nuclear warhead just replaces scissors or beats the other two.

A classic Q-tip battle over boiling acid.

Flintlocks that shoot qtips at 20 paces over a pit of citric acid.

If Tippler loses then we get some nice tasting fish!

Combat? Boooooring. Both of them have to recite the entire plot of Ruby Quest off the top of their heads, whichever one can't remember a plot point first is the loser.

Production scrambles to put together a green screen and prop flintlock pistols for the epic duel you have devised.

Sarcophagus squints at the spray painted plastic toy. “I feel like you might as well have us play rock paper scissors.”

“But this is better content for the viewers.” you insist. “Imagine the youtube ad revenue.”

Sarcophagus and tipler ineffectually shoot each other with Q-tips and caper around the green screen. The fish is as theatrical as a bad Shakespearean actor while Sarcophagus doesn’t seem very enthusiastic.

“Ah! You have killed me.” the fish clutches his poncho and collapses to the ground after taking a shot directly to the chest.

“Are we done? Did I win yet?” Sarcophagus asks you impatiently.

“Uh…” you fumble in your pocket for a coin to flip, which the goat creature slaps out of your hand. “Yes, you won, congratulations!”

tipler doesn’t seem very disappointed in the post-fight interview.

“Yeah, I’m glad to be going home honestly, I’ll finally be able to fish again.” the strange little salmon explains. “Also this way I can keep an eye on my wife in case some OBJECTIONABLE INDIVIDUALS try to seduce her.”

The camera follows him as he takes bread from the offstage snack table and starts attracting pigeons in the parking lot, before grabbing a bird and escaping into the night.

Bagel hymitsu and lurker go to a fancy dinner to celebrate their team win. however, bagel needs a disguise so the resturant staff dont confuse him for a side dish.

Thats right ladies and gents, it's paper doll time to dress up Bagel!

>>1019889
this idea is too wholesome, but my paperdoll would be me dressing up bagel as a donut

Paper doll sounds fun. I wonder what would happen if someone draws a steve bagel? What would our judge think?

After episode 3 ends, the winning team goes to a fancy restaurant in downtown LA (In-N-Out) to celebrate their success. Since Bagel is so famous after its legal victory, the others dress it up with a little paper frosting and sprinkles to imitate a donut.

Hymitsu and Bagel’s friendship has blossomed after the fanart drawing of the previous evening, and they chatter excitedly while waiting in the 30 car line at the drive through.

Lurking Lurker stays mostly silent, occasionally checking the rearview mirror.

“Do you guys see that white van?” he finally says.

“Huh?”

“There’s a white van that’s been following us since we left the studio.” LL points across the street to where you are watching the proceedings.

It's LA, there are lots of white vans. You're just projecting, Lurker.

Shit, that's the official unbranded Quest Van. Their characters must already be here, and authors should never meet their characters. They're all going to fight about everything they put their chars through.

Fox girl Dot will pester Bagel about letting her finally find Peta, a squad of children will roll up and just start kicking Hymitsu's shins and LurkingLurker will be crushed under the weight of all their different characters.

Like a 3/10 dinner overall.

Remember A Conspiracy of Wasps? White unmarked vans are bad news. Tell the car's biggest RPG nerd to empty their d4 bag on the road behind you to blow out the van's tyres.

Uh oh, the contestants are starting to notice you. They don’t understand you have to be there if they want to be seen, because you’re the POV.

You drive around the corner before they decide to attack since you can sense the aggressive energy brewing in LL’s gigantic brain. Maybe you should paint the van a different color? White tends to stand out after a while.

You chew on the steering wheel while you collect yourself. You’d really like to capture the team bonding moment over burgers, so you park and make your way closer on foot.

After a solid hour of waiting, the group finally orders and collects the goods.

Do you:
-Follow them back to the hotel
-Call it a night

Follow them.

Sneaky sneaky

Follow them!

Follow them. But focus on Corvid and Sarcophagus since the rest of the contestants are more alert.

“The van’s back.” Hymitsu notes through a mouthful fries.

Lurking Lurker curses and flies into a paranoid rage in part due to being stuck in LA traffic. “We have a stalker! They’re probably after us because we’re extremely important celebrity quest authors.”

“Hold on.” Bagel rifles around in their pockets and produces a bag of assorted caltrops, which it flings out the window.

You slam your brakes but are too slow to avoid the massive pileup. You’re rear-ended and the street breaks into a chorus of honking and upset drivers.

You have been foiled! The contestants are becoming increasingly self-aware and you need to get your brilliant quest ideas out of them before they catch on.

Choose the contest and three frontrunners for the first task of episode 4.

After the van gets DAMAGED, the word DAMAGE repeats in your head...

You suddenly get an idea:

CLOTHING DAMAGE THEMED CONTEST!

>>1019959
Perfect.

>>1019959
Oh yeah, front runners are LurkingLurker, and Sarcophagus since they made clothing damage themed quests before. Bagel's the third since he's doing the anti clothing damage quest, clothing repair quest.

“So for clothing damage you need several things. Combat, where clothes can be damaged, a healthy suspension of disbelief for why no one’s getting injured, and finally some level of horny.” the creature explains. “The problem with all of those things is that they weaken over time. The solution? Falling into existential despair.”

I throw my vote to Sarcophagus.

>"Cute naked boy also good."
Bagel. Y'know, like, as a joke.

Bagel is having the most fun, which is how you win at pretty much anything!

Bagel.

LurkingLurker, because their quest has my OC in it!

Bagel's too wholesome, BAGEL WIN

Lurker wins, because you perk up at the idea of readers paying you to not update a quest.

Sarc

Sadly, Sarcophagus didn't really deliver on that suspension of disbelief part in the quest about the great heist on the tripod space station. (I liked all the great heist plot and different aliens, though!)

Bagel has my vote.

Corvid and Lurker
Sarc and Hymitsu

LurkingLurker and Sarcophagus vs Hymitsu and Corvid

Collab task: make the more popular TEXT ONLY quest

LurkingLurker and Sarc, Hymitsu and Corvid

Task: Run the best quest that doesn't get popular, create a true hidden gem. Which team's quest will pull ahead when the only replies they're getting are from kome?

sarc and hym
corv and lurcer

People are starting see through the "non-consensual" euphemism.
Come up with a new, better euphemism!

LurkingLurker and Sarcophagus, Hymitsu and Corvid. The task is designing a quest where the love interest betrays their lover.

Corv/hum sarc/lol

Make the best KOME quest to be judged by our guest star Kome the galactic, transdimensional being of chaos.

Also what if a certain eliminated feline was watching from the rafters longingly before being shooed off

Sarc and Lurker, Corvid and Hyumitsu. Their next task... intermissions. Pick a minor character from their existing quests and make a spinoff all about them.

You need a quest that’s going to appeal to the chaos agents of the world. You’ve noticed a reader named Come who usually makes exotic and somewhat untenable suggestions, and you task the contestants to make a serious quest that appeals to him.

The two veterans shrug and get to work designing a hybrid fantasy/sci-fi setting where the protagonist can be a dumbass without dying immediately. Since both have an abundance of characters, they populate the world with existing designs, which makes their lives much easier.

Which team wins? You’ll steal their idea for your own purposes.

Team Old wins because they're used to dealing wi- um, appeasing the chaos gods.

Team Old. Their shorter word count allows for the plot to turn on a dime.

Team old wins because Hymitsu got distracted by Edpineapple's latest BROKEN GLASS and REACTANT quests, making long thought up suggestions for each

I think team old's got the upper hand here. A protagonist's "power" seems like a prime way to cause some crazy chaos or try some interesting suggestions. My vote goes to these boomers.

>>1020039
Team Old wins. They dust off Xom to use in their quest.

...they also give a rather generous anonymous donation to Steve.

>>1020043
Team old probably for this reason, sorry team young :(

Hymitsu: wonder why your not on team old when you actually had a quest called "High Tier" under your previous alter ego BokkunThesketchguy that predates Sarcophagus' oldest quest "team Port Echo echo echo echo."

Neither of these can truly satisfy Come.

You shoo away the losers and get the lawyers in to seize control of the winner’s intellectual property.

“What are you doing?” Sarcophagus asks, bewildered.

“How do you think we make money once the show is over? Well, okay, we don’t make any money from quests but how do you think I entertain myself during off season? By using the ideas I’ve gained in this competition to make the ultimate story telling experience!”

-Go to the hotel to keep an eye on the authors
-Whatever else you usually do after work (suggest)
