Mystia's is a wonderful board where highly reviewed story threads from text adventures from Rumia's are selected.Though what are the general criteria for them to be admitted?Aside from outstanding storytelling/interesting setting,characters,continuity/excellent mechanics/high views/replies must they be reported through pm or irc :ohdear: to Pesco or some such?Or are the aforementioned criteria enough and I'm just overthinking :V ?

Mystia's is basically a repository for completed games from Rumia's. If you successfully start and finish a game in Rumia's and mark it as complete in a way Pesco notices, he'll move it for you.

This just in: all of the good games and stories are the ones that actually finish.
How unintended but oddly accurate!

I don't know that I'd go that far, Drake. Mouse's Arisu Geass was pretty good, and that was never finished. I heard good things about Rou's Sango Quest, though I never read it myself. And then there was the original Z-adventure here, the Barren path, and that's not in Mystia's either.
At least I'm pretty sure that one was the original. At least it's the first noted on RPG that isn't an RP.

Completion earns entry. Good or bad is subjective and irrelevant.

Should've said "all of the games and stories that actually finish are good", which is more along what I meant.

That's because Barren Path was originally a thread started by me way back when RPG never existed; when Purvis made it into the Z-Adventure it was then moved into the Cold Storage instead.

I see,I see.Mulled about the importance of completion before posting: no spark left from or given to an author reveals a story was not that good to begin with; just like all of you made me realize this had been meant to be an objective requirement.I considered completion an unspokenly stated requirement but not explicity stated as it could cause grievance, a somewhat fair occurence in rpgs on the outside, should an author go for "parallel" storylines ( i.e. "Rumia Quest"). Many thanks for the heads-up :) .
