[[4chan]] has these things called Quest threads. Quest Threads started on /tg/, but now Quest Threads have their own board. It's (kind of like) a game, where OP<ref>Original Poster, the person who started a thread</ref> is the [[Game Master]] and the other people on the thread try to pick what the character does. Either by picking from the options OP provided or coming up with their own. OP is then free to do whatever he likes, but hopefully goes with the answer that has the most support. There aren't inherently any real game mechanics, so it might be somewhat comparable to a [[Choose Your Own Adventure]] type of thing.
 
''[[Magical Girl Noir Quest]]'' (here after will be referred to as MGNQ) has an OP that goes by the alias "Deculture" (Occasionally "Protoculture", e.g. thread 85 . Deculture is often referred to as "Decu"). MGNQ is primarily based off [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]] and it'sits spin offs. It has it's share of [[Shout Outs-Out]]s and [[Cross OversCrossover]]s. MGNQ is one of the longest running 4chan Quests. It started in 2012 and has over 300 threads.
 
In MGNQ, for most threads, the protagonist is Homura (often referred to as Chiaki or Murderface). Some of the posts, particularly those not by Deculture, are NSFW. Deculture's posts are a rather reliable source of entertainment and the posts they are responding give context that make them easier to understand. Other posts are both less reliable and arguably less important (but might be necessary to get some of the jokes that Deculture slips in).
Line 22 ⟶ 21:
* [[Amnesiac Hero]]: Well, Amnesiac protagonist at the very least. Murderface in fact has amnesia multiple times.
* [[Annoying Laugh]]: Midori's laugh is presumably normal, usually. But one time Faust did something that Midori would have normally just found amusing and laughed. However Midori is terrified of Faust, and the laughing came out as gasping. Pinky did not enjoy that laughter.
* [[Anti-Magic]]: Culexus. They also make Magical Girls sick when they are around them. The ninth officio puts them in suits that dampens the effects, but also increases their lifespan and gives them more control over their abilities. Even so, even when they wear the suits, they still often make Magical Girls near them queasy. That said, Culexus can do magic things other than anti-magic (like predict the future). Silent Rooms to a large extent disable magic while they are on. One of them has had it's effect's potency compared to a typical Culexus, which suggests parallels in effect. However, a silent room has also been used to repress a Culexus's [[Power Incontinence]] (And it's not clear that Culexus's are particularly harmful to other culexus).
* [[Aren't You Going to Ravish Me?]]:
** NECO expected Chiaki to force her to "apologize with [her] body", and took offense when Chiaki rejected the guess.
Line 62 ⟶ 61:
* [[Do Not Call Me "Paul"]]: Chiaki Matsuda objects to being called by her past names or alternate names. The strength of her objection depends on the name she is being called and who is saying it. She ''really'' wanted to object to Hazuki calling her Nameless One, but she was too paralyzed with fear. She seems particularly opposed to "Nameless One" and "Akemi Homura". She probably hates being called that even more than being called Ol Noodles.
* [[Doomed by Canon]]: We already know some of the deaths of the Walpurgisnacht arc by the times it happens.
* [[Dude, Not Funny]]: Kyuubey sometimes makes jokes. Typically these jokes arn't funny. Towards the beginning of thread 242 he makes a joke that makes Chiaki upset.
* [[Everyone Is Gay]]: Did you expect any different from something that used PMMM as it's base source material? There is one female character who is in a relationship with a guy, and this character has, in no uncertain terms, had a ton of lesbian sex. Sayaka is implied to still have made her wish to benefit Kyosuke, but she is obviously in a relationship with Kyoko. And as for background characters, there is a yuri doujinshi that is very popular inside the company the protagonist works for. And that's not even touching how many named female characters are pining after the protagonist (who is of course also a female). Mami (a character of non-trivial prominence) was mentioned to be in a relationship in a flashback, but the gender was left unspecified, and this ''potential'' straightness has caused some bickering in the non-main posts. Guys for their part seem to be straight, but they hardly show up. Presumably averted with Heartcatch squad.
* [[WeirdnessExtra-Strength CensorMasquerade]]: Despite Magical Girls basically working for [[Private Military Contractors]] (that typically don't wage war, instead they do things like act as body guards and carry out assassinations) and having information about them on the internet, most people don't realize Magical Girls are a thing. Kyuubey used to have [[Killed to Uphold the Masquerade|witnesses assassinated]], but then he stopped doing this when he realized that he didn't need to because nobody took the witnesses seriously. Iori ''despite having Chiaki as a bodyguard'' didn't know she was actually a Magical Girl (until hostilities broke out) and thought Chiaki was just wearing a weird uniform.
* [[Fake-Out Fade-Out]]: In thread 51, Deculture, or possibly a fake, says that he/she is done for this session. Then we get more Deculture posts in the thread. Also thread 54 (Deculture’s name is spelled wrong).
* [[Faking the Dead]]: Kharn tries to fake Girl-A's death by claiming she executed her, have Malal register Girl A as dead, give her a haircut, and a new name. She then recruits this "new" Magical Girl. When Kyuubi inquires about the "new recruit" with an uncanny resemblance to Girl A, Kharn refused to explicitly say that Girl-A's death was faked, but does say:
Line 162:
** Enyo was in love with Raleigh (her commander) and said she was going to confess. That was in a flashback and (as of this writing) their current relationship status hasn't been mentioned.
* [[Wacky Cravings]]: After Kharn gets pregnant she craves weird things, like raw bear meat. Also [[Played With]]: She cites craving orange juice with coffee ''no sugar no vodka'' as strange.
* [[Weirdness Censor]]: Despite Magical Girls basically working for [[Private Military Contractors]] (that typically don't wage war, instead they do things like act as body guards and carry out assassinations) and having information about them on the internet, most people don't realize Magical Girls are a thing. Kyuubey used to have [[Killed to Uphold the Masquerade|witnesses assassinated]], but then he stopped doing this when he realized that he didn't need to because nobody took the witnesses seriously. Iori ''despite having Chiaki as a bodyguard'' didn't know she was actually a Magical Girl (until hostilities broke out) and thought Chiaki was just wearing a weird uniform.
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not for Kids?]]: Kyuubey assumed MM X MM (which has porn in it) was for children because
{{quote|Such books are only meant for the consumption of those much too young to absorb and appreciate proper literary prose, aren't they? I mean, look at them - each page is wrought with exagerrated art! Not enough words in it to form even a single paragraph - just dialogue, nothing else!}}
Line 179 ⟶ 178:
* [[The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You]]: [http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/34317475/images/1408737177200.gif]
* [[Grand Tabletop Rules List]]:
** Rule 0.: Sometimes a player is notices a bad possibility. On one hand perhaps Decu already knew and if the player announces it, perhaps the hive mind will figure out a solution or find a way to side step it. On the other hand:
{{quote|People are actually considering stuff that I myself missed!|Deculture}}
::Also a player may consider 'would Decu taking this possibility into account allow for a better story'?
Line 204 ⟶ 203:
* [[Virgin Sacrifice]]: anon 20866598 ’s post
* [[We Are Experiencing Technical Difficulties]]: As a result of Deculture's seemingly chronic weather induced internet problems, someone made this [http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/25733104/images/1372613130790.jpg]

* [[Humanity Is Infectious]]: Kyuubey is considered insane by his brothers. Decu stated that Kyuubey thinks more like a human because he is more hands on in running his officio than most his brothers [https://ask.fm/Deculture/answers/150826376884].
