Eversist and Wheeeeeeatthins compiled this list; feel free to PM one of them (or possibly a mod) if you would like your adventure added to this list. Stephen and Ed_knott also helped!

[Wesley Foxx]

I approve of this thread.

[Dentrala]

Awesome, keep it up. Sticky?

[Wesley Foxx]

Yes.







yes.

[Wheeeeeeatthins]

YOU CAN HELP, TOO! If your adventure or an adventure you want to be up here isn't up here, you can help by posting or PMing The Bern Donut Co or one of the people listed in the footnote of the Table of Contents!

Here's what's needed for an entry:
-- A 125x125 pixel image of said adventure that accurately represents the artists style and/or some important character or part of the plot.
-- The title, and author
-- How many pages the adventure was (without the chatter after the ending)
-- A short, one to two sentence summary of the adventure
and optional:
--If there is a mirror, a link to it
-- If it has won any MSPAFA awards, list which one it has won[/size]

Or to maximize your boondollars, follow the following template. Anything in caps and surrounded by dollar signs is something you should replace with the applicable data.

[Eversist]

Huzzah!

[Stephen]

Idea: Have the list three times (each spoilered), sorted differently.
By most recent completion date
By number of pages (at time of completion)
Alphabetically

It'd be a bit more work, but I'd be willing to help. Would I be correct in assuming the page numbers you're listing now don't count pages of comments after the end?

Ooh, and you should maybe even try a fourth list (if there's even room in the two posts) where adventures are sorted by a ranking that people vote on. Although that could get messy.

[Wheeeeeeatthins]

Idea: Have the list three times (each spoilered), sorted differently.
By most recent completion date
By number of pages (at time of completion)
Alphabetically

Keep in mind that over all else, I want to keep this table of contents streamlined and as simple (or non-confusing) as possible. I want the people to click on this topic and immediately be shown the table of contents, not having to decide which way they want it to be sorted in.

I don't think that "recent completion date" would be necessary, because the forum is basically already sorted into that: last replied to topics are typically the most recently finished ones. Though I will go through these all now and include "date of completion," because that's a good idea.

And by number of pages--I don't believe that's too big of a deal to most people that it would need a separate table of contents. Perhaps in the second post we could just list them all for reference, as in:
Here is a list of all the adventures above in order from most pages to least pages.

But I don't want things to get complicated.

It'd be a bit more work, but I'd be willing to help. Would I be correct in assuming the page numbers you're listing now don't count pages of comments after the end?

No, it's just the number of pages of the topic itself. Discussion is part of the thread, too. I am aware that this opens the page count up to being wrong over time. I am also aware that this is just a lazy way to do it. Whoops.

Ooh, and you should maybe even try a fourth list (if there's even room in the two posts) where adventures are sorted by a ranking that people vote on. Although that could get messy.

Ahhhhhh no that would turn out awfully! This is supposed to be an objective list. (Despite some of the descriptions having some sarcastic subjectivity shining through.)

I'm sending you a PM so you could collaborate on this too, if you wanted to.

EDIT: Wait, whoops I just accidentally deleted this post, thinking it was a PM! Luckily I copy+pasted it so it could be saved for generations.

Also Stephen is now part of the Dream Team! i call shaq's position.

[beans]

the description for the kool aid adventure is maybe the best thing i've ever seen

[Eversist]

I must work on this, this weekend.

[CheeseDeluxe]

Aw, my fanventure didn't make the list?





:<



I tried, at least...

[Wheeeeeeatthins]

UNDER CONSTRUCTION. UNDER CONSTRUCTION. UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

AH.

It takes time. Also Eversist, which ones are you going to be doing? I've read Prague and Uninteresting Adventure, Overtime, Another Day, Risk, Panopoly, The Labyrinth Field, Silence, Boobslave and God's Blobby Must Archipelago out of all the ones that still need to be done, so I could do any of those easily.

EDIT: 12/20 I DID THESE

[Dragon Fogel]

So, which of you is reading through Bob Must Die?

[Eversist]

*shrugs* It may be easier for you to just give me a list of ones you have not read yet.

[Wheeeeeeatthins]

All the ones I didn't just list are the ones I haven't read.

So that means the following I have not read. I don't expect you to do them all; I don't mind reading more.
Careers in Religion
CYOA 1 & 2
murder mystery manor
The Two
Ultradude W
TWIN DUEL: The Twin Towers Of Lay'Fee (oh god do we have to do all the duels)
When Worlds Collide - A Fanventure, if anything
The Tragic Tale of Thriggle
Mime's Journey
Dungeon Denizens
Entitled to Change
Create Your Character
Abdutcted (I'm not sure how to do a thumbnail for a text adventure... maybe just a quick, self-made doodle of a UFO (or whatever relates to the adventure at hand) and the word TEXT placed over it to signify that it's a textventure?)
The Family: Only Two Can Remain
The Mutewood II
Bob Must Die
CheeseDeluxeIRL
Emoticon Adventure, Part One
A Matter of Magic
Joy Ride
SLUGVENTURE YEAH
Assassin's Quest
Escape from the Labyrinth
Universal Elder
Homeless Serial Killer (text)
AdventureR(PG) Quest... Thing
Kick Something in the Nuts!
Vampires!
Lock and Key: the MSPA Way! (text)
Yet Another but In-A-Computer MSPA Forum Adventure
Desktop MSPA
DEUS
not-an-adventure adventure. (text)
Name Quest
Space Quest I
The Pointless Adventures of Nopor Puss! (text)

AND THAT IS THE LIST OF THINGS I HAVEN'T READ.

Additional Notes:
1. Crystal rave part one is in the completed subforum, but the story itself is not done so it won't be listed until completion.
2. Threads that are just transcripts of IRC chats shouldn't be included because it's more of a "you had to be there" sort of thing, where magic was in the air at the time, but reading it now, it is not; and the spirit gone, man is trash. That was snowden's secret.
3. For the Completed Something a Little Different Adventures, I don't think there should be a thumbnail, but rather a special section at the bottom of the table of contents with a link and a description since that is already an archive in itself.

So, which of you is reading through Bob Must Die?

you're meeeeean

edit dec. 20: changed because I did some of them

[The Bern Donut Co]

Everyone, check out this announcement in the second post!
It has details on how YOU can help me do my job, and help me get paid for doing nothing!
Wait, I'm not getting paid for this?

Okay, well, I'll have to get corporate to invent some new kind of congratulatory donuts, so that I can give donut coupons to those who help out the most in the war effort! I'll bleed those suckers dry for leaving me here to rot at my desk at two in the morning! Just who do they think they are?

So help me get back at the man while knocking back a few donuts for yourself!

(Thanks for the help.)

[Eversist]

Groovy.

Edit:
Out of that list, I've only read CYOA I/II. So I guess I'll start at the top and work my way down.

[Wesley Foxx]

I am not sure, I think from now on I'm only going to move duels into here if someone actually wins, and leave the abandoned ones to sink.

[Wheeeeeeatthins]

updatey like pork gravy--added somewhere between 10-20 new entrées!

special thanks to crowstone for doing his own
and to faceofdoomness for making me hafta learn how a title consisting only of an ellipse fits into alphabetical order

[Red Herring]

Careers in Religion is good you assholes

[Wheeeeeeatthins]

*this table of contents is still under construction*

I just did the ones I've read; if you want yours done, take one of the following routes

1) make the entry following the template in this post and pm it to me or Bern Donut account
2) if this is not possible, talk to eversist whose idea this was if you want it done proper
3) if you don't feel like doing that, wait until your turn comes around it because it's not like I'm getting paid to read everyone's adventures and also its not like I'd rather be doing anything else besides than this tedious volunteer bureaucracy

[Red Herring]

I actually am paying you a substantial amount. I am a taxpayer

[Wheeeeeeatthins]

Too bad I live in a commune!

go marx go

[Eversist]

Oh god I forgot about this I'm a horrible person.
