Same.

Another question do we control individual members of the group or are we picking stuff for the group to do?

The multiplechoice is based on the eldest sibling's perspective, and this game's protagonist.

Wouldn't that make this a suggestion game, rather than a minimalist game?

What makes those mutually exclusive?
(Also, the way SG is used here usually includes custom answers, so this is more old school CYOA.)

(So far.)

Suggestion games are usually one character games with multiple predefined actions or custom actions, and all the minimalist games I've played have been multiplayer games with a vague plot given as a starting point then you can do whatever and be whatever from there.

Also I've always noticed that it depended on who the GM was as to weather ridged ABC answers were being used in the SG, but most are custom answer only SG games.

((The title is literally a homage to SPAMKINGDOM's original name, Rapid-fire Minimalistic Dynasty Game. I didn't know that, thanks for teaching me. Let us continue this chat in PM if necessary. As far as my usage of terms, I will probably look at breaking down the etymology of the categories more than the common usage, moreso versus other GMs. Other than which option to choose, there are zero suggestions in a CYOA. I don't know what this game will be though, other than a discussion thread lol.))

Didn't know that about the first SPAMKINGDOM don't think I was here for that, no need for PMs I was just getting clarification on a few things no need to delay the game any further.

You go to work at the city factory, assembling parts for various machines you never see the complete form of. After a grueling first month, you get your first pay, which is quickly spent on on rent. There's nothing left for food.

Caden, the youngest sibling, says he is going to join you at the factory. He's deeply offended when you explain he is too small to work on the assembly line.

Somehow, you need to make more money for food.

A) Steal Food
B) Allow Caden to work at the factory
C) Move out of the house onto the street/into an orphanage

Things go badly at the factory as your hand gets caught...you lose your pointer and middle finger on your right hand. It may be time to consider leaving the factory.

Before you can think about that, your family needs food. You spot an apple vendor leaving to relieve himself, and hurriedly gather apples into a side satchel. A completely clean heist. Your sister and brothers are beaming when you drop them on the table, and mash away with happy little cheeks.

Chloe takes care of your hand each night. She begs you to leave the factory. Surely the orphanage can't be this bad...you're too young for this. You remind her you are almost 10.

Caden: 7y 2m
Chloe: 8y 8m
Kyle: 8y 8m
Logan: 9y 11m

A) Continue to work at the factory
B) Move into the orphanage
C) Join a pickpocket gang
D) Ask for a promotion at work
