Game of the Year: A Naruto Quest

What are you talking about? Of course the military autocratic state has a council of bloodthirsty moronic civilians that can overturn the dictators decisions on a whim and are lead by a screeching harridan whose goal in life is to get rid of her villages strongest weapon. I mean, that's just common sense. :rolleyes:

Hmm? I avoid stories with those types of councils, I prefer them to just be representatives. Though we've already established that I made a mistake.
 
Anyway, we're nigh-certainly going to come from a family that is not noteworthy, and not a ninja family. If only because the premise of GOTY stories is that NG+ content is accessed through achievements gained via action, not granted as a default state. So realistically, we're pretty much guaranteed to be a first-generation ninja if we choose to become one.

[X] New In Town. You're not from around here. Your family is a new arrival in Konoha, and it definitely shows.

I'm okay with this

This is gonna suck! No connections no foundation, nothing. Starting from scratch.

We won't even get Ninja trainers outside the Academy :(

Unless our family are ninjas. Maybe we're Uzumakis from Uzushiogakure, or some other clan from there after it was destroyed? Or maybe we're in possession of some newly discovered bloodline ability, and Leaf has brought us in for that reason. Being new to town doesn't necessarily limit us to being from a family of normals.

It has been said and explained many times now, we can't be any of those unless we got the achievement required. We're basically a nobody until we get an achievement worth something and die. We die then we start over with our achievements slowly unlocking choices.
 
No real salt its just meh starting from out of town and being a nobody whose goal is to befriend Naruto.

I don't see a single statement from the QM as to what our starting options will be with regards to "ninja parents" or "bloodlines" will be anywhere. Now, you may well be right, but literally all we know about the "New to Town" option is "You're not from around here. Your family is a new arrival in Konoha, and it definitely shows." and that's it. Literally nothing else. We do have points from a previous life. That may well give us some options to pay for. But if not, it's not the end of the world. This is just our first life, after all.

This is in the same same as this post.

Ok? That isn't a post by the QM, though. It's speculation, and possibly accurate, but it's not a certain fact.

Yeah?

The second was this: Naruto, GAME OF THE YEAR. A video game Naruto quest in the mold of the old school Game of the Year fics. Not 'The Gamer'. Never read it, not planning on it. 'Game of the Year'. Big difference. I loved those fics, and when I got the idea to do a quest based on them, it really appealed to me.

Below first post in first page, in the informational.


There, that's your QM quote.

Except that doesn't state a damn thing about our starting options. I mean, sure, you can use that to speculate that we might not have much in the way of options for our first life, and you may be right about it, but it's still speculation rather than confirmed fact.

:facepalm: Fuckit, you're too damn stubborn to see the writing on the wall. We'll see next post, and I'm betting that the multiple people who know what they're talking about are right.

I repeatedly said the speculation about it could be right. That doesn't mean it isn't speculation, as opposed to confirmed fact. My issue here is that you were and still are asserting speculation as if it were confirmed fact, and when called upon to provide actual evidence that it was fact you pulled up a non-QM quote that was speculation, and a QM quote that doesn't confirm said speculation. It's not my fault you're arguing your point poorly.

The QM quote says it's game of the year, non-QM quote explains how Game of the Year works.

PM me, we'll continue this somewhere else. This has gone on long enough.

It's a pretty big damn stretch to get from the GM post to that other post you quoted.

Not that I care that much. If you're right, then I'm even more certain 'New in Town' was the best option. If I had thought that the noble option meant Hyuga or Uchiha, I would have voted for it. Spoiled brat from a non-ninja family seems like the worst of all worlds.

I know how Game of the Year works. But Ves may have his own ideas about what options he wants to give us to start off with. He's not required to start us off as not in a ninja family, or without a bloodline, or anything of that nature. He might well do that, and I've said several times that's a possibility, but you don't know for a fact that he will, now do you?

See this? This here:

This is you asserting something as a fact, in such a way that you are stating it is truth. And yet you don't have actual confirmation of this from the QM for it. So you stating it as fact doesn't make it true. Maybe you're right, but you don't have proof of that.

And we know literally nothing about the New to Town option other than we're from out of town. All of the options may have had advantages and disadvantages attached to them. Being the Scion would have obvious upsides in terms of the wealth our family has, but might have had downsides like us being spoiled or having limited personal freedom due to family obligations or controlling parents or something. The New to Town option could well have its own advantages, and I don't think "refugee ninja family from Uzushiogakure" (even a non-clan one) or something along those lines would be beyond the pale, given the disadvantages of being an outsider.
