To Establish Peace - A Romance of the Three Kingdoms Quest

Reader mode
Great to see you still going strong, Gaz. A clear sign, that the Mandate of Heaven is with us.

I was reading some of my favourite chapters about a week ago and can't wait to see the new epic update from you. :)
 
Can't say too much due to NDA I signed, but a big part of the mental issues I endured in recent years is being headhunted by a certain company to write for them (allegedly at least partially due to this very thread, according to the interview), then having the project collapse due to internal issues I am not privy to and thus essentially losing what was more or less a dream job for me, and still to this day being owed several months worth of unpaid wages, not that I am bitter or anything of course towards this random unnamed company i could not possibly name

Well, that is a pretty good reason for the radio silence. On multiple levels.

Be wonderful to see you come back to this. But I'd understand if you didn't.

Either way, glad to hear from you.

Am still not "meant" to talk about this, but damn, 2021-2023 was a rollercoaster - if the final drop ended in a fucking pit of fire.

In a few years I'll legally be able to name and shame this company that may or may not be based in the United Kingdom and probably is nor possibly is not involved in videogame development, but who knows?!
 
Lol. Well QM you may wanna remain silent from here on out - regarding the company I mean - if they found you on this site, I'd be worried even this much would be legally troubling for them if they found your posts. I'm glad to hear you're doing better mentally though! Likely one of my outright favorite quests in general.

I know the feeling brother, at one time I was being scouted as a writer for Black Library. Then I became homeless. The grind never ends.

It was a quest
  • Media
    • It was a Quest
    Of the old style
    You remember how they were?
    It had stats
    And narrative
    And some meta crap
    Vague mechanics
    Spreadsheets and all
    These days genres are challenged
    But gotta recall
    Those days of
    CKII traits for characters

    This was a quest I did
    Perhaps it was kinda mid?
    Dragged a corpse out of the grave
    Just won't let it die
    No matter how I try
    Haha old song references

    Five years ago
    I wrote away
    Actually regular updates
    Now refresh SV
    Guess what you see
    An update you'll barely see
    Out of all quests
    There's plenty to know
    Wow one crossed Persona and SAO
    I crawl along
    Wannabe undead
    Imagine what could have been

    I was a quest starter
    Unreliable updater
    Wait who the fuck is he?
    Wannabe author
    No cash on patreon
    Barely worth mentioning

    There was a quest he started
    A ping that he updated
    Oh well it's just a parody
    No new chapter
    Just self indulgence
    Ha ha it's so funny?

    Sorry that you missed out
    Plenty of quests that are better
    Apologies you saw that ping
    Disrupted it could be for a better thing
    Nostalgia for the quest that could have been
    Better options now, you have seen
    Don't pity me, still have pride
    A TVTropes page I cowrite

    I once said
    I wrote a quest
    This satire is really obvious
    I would try again
    But no one would care
    Damn my lack of esteem

    I once kinda wrote a quest
    It was never the best
    But the readers I adored
    I liked comments
    And lore debates
    Was a thread I used to know
