CYOA (or Choose Your Own Adventure) images are basically graphics with a series of choices on them that allow for the creation of interesting scenarios or characters. They are many and varied, but I'll start us off with a fairly generic, yet solid one, Domain Master. For this CYOA, you are suddenly given a new body and a land to control as a "level boss." At least, that's the original premise. In practice you design a ruler and domain, deciding whether to favor strong offense/defense/magic, or whether to improve the conditions within your domain and use diplomacy or trade to gain advantage over rival domains. I figure I'll post this one, then after we get enough responses, post another. Feel free to respond to any in the thread at any point, though. Beware that these images are usually quite large. You may be better off right clicking and opening them in their own tab/window.
Boss is a lightning loli, but great at everything except magic. Delegates military operation to the chief general (from the Corruption perk) and instead campaigns as a recruiter/dignitary. Relies on lots of motivated and diverse support labor, especially engineers and craftsmen to maintain and expand the constructs.
Realm is great so long as you're a member, and the goal is to make everyone want to be a member.
Regarding the complications - Crusade should be really easy to quash given the offensive forces, Undead we have elite priests and several paladins, and Adaptation is really going to depend on the nature of the state the shard is found in, but probably manage it with spies. Nemesis is the biggest hurdle, but again I think the Chosen/priest combo should be sufficient to defend us (along with Protected status and the Boss/Honor Guard.

I still don't understand what this is. Based upon the description of the picture in your second post though the only choice you can make is the vest. All others result in a death as a result of others playing the game.
The concept of the thread is that you post your choices for an image or set of images and explain why you picked them.

Well that one in particular is not a game, it's like an alternate reality. So, as it says, everyone on Earth suddenly picks from the 3, and then time unpauses. There's no prize for killing everyone or anything like that, just a unique power that everyone decides between.
I'll admit that the Vests seem like the "safe" choice but you can still die from conventional means. I personally would opt for Immortality, as sorting through however many millions to billions of photos it will spawn makes my death at the hands of a Gun pretty unlikely, or at least doesn't present a credible enough threat to not go for natural immortality.

Well, if you take the gun, you're just as likely to die from the one guy you already know in real life that has the gun and doesn't like you. If you take immortality, that person still knows you. The pictures don't matter in that case.

Hmm, I guess I'm just less concerned about my acquaintances having murderous intent towards me than you are.
