(EDIT: PDF version from ToaKraka for people with bad internet.)
Which of the following would you rather have? CYOA - In general, people pick Comfort or Power. But the Motte is built different (laughs). As a fun exercise, pick your option and predict what the Motte will choose.
Wrap this part in || to spoiler, please. (And try to pick your honest choice rather than the socially desirable one if at all possible)
Myself:Power, if I don't convince myself in the moment to pick Pleasure (permanent virtuality is quite aesthetically unappealing to me, even if it feels like a "rational" choice). I would probably make a half-hearted effort of transforming the place into a mining-and-production haven, offering huge subsidies and promises of safety to foreign specialists, and spend the other half of the effort having a harem. Adventure sounds immediately unappealing. Piloting a Star Trek Enterprise with a crew of hundreds, sure. Alone? No. Good Works is too much constant effort and limits (mostly about having to move around) for too few external rewards. Comfort I'd pick if transforming myself into a stereotypical square-jawed blonde gigachad wasn't mandatory. I like my looks mostly as they are, and would prefer to remain "myself but looksmaxxed".
The Motte:Pleasure 15%, Adventure 10%, Comfort 30%, Good Works 10%, Power 35%
Also, I have to agree with those who whinged about the massive picture in the CYOA I posted earlier: this shit took a solid 2 minutes to load over VPN. I felt like I was in the internet of the 90s, and I wasn't even on the internet in the 90s.
