You completely misread everything I typed, but then again I should have worded some stuff better.
>PROBLEM SLEUTH
Exactly! And Jailbreak and Bard Quest! But not their established format that only became popular far later with Homestuck, which is why I said mspaS, emphasis on the "s" which in the context of the sentence meant the fan adventures based on all of Hussie's work, I even put in parenthesis. Reread what I posted.
What I said (and that you misunderstood) is not that Ruby Quest came before his works (please do tell me where I said that), I said that it and the quests that followed are NOT a derivative of Problem Sleuth like you said on your other post, and that quests aren't a derivative of MSPA or its format at all. I said:
>No, /tg/ quests were something that spawned out of normal storytelling that happened there. Those were two things in parallel because a CYOA (or input-based storytelling if we're gonna be asses about the liberal wording of it) isn't exactly an original concept and people have done it many times before
Quests and simple MSPAs are two similar types of CYOAs that developed kind of separate but later on took cues from each other due to their growing popularity. Even if Weaver knew about PS before Hussie's popularity started booming (in mid 2008 people namedropping PS was uncommon even in /co/), he was following the tradition of DM'ing in /tg/, his own worldbuilding and the "hey I'm drawing this character doing things" and drawhores that have always been a popular activity in 4chan before even Boxdog. None of the initial wave were derivatives of PS. Maaaybe /tg/chan started fishing things, but they at first moment were two separate strands.
>no one had made something like that in a webcomic
No one had ever mixed input-based storytelling with the webcomic format before in such a skilled fashion like Hussie did, which is why he became popular. That's what I meant.
Hope this clears things up.
