If you don't have an account, just leave the password field blank.
But if those choice menus led to extreme variances in the story and possibly also present a challenge to the player... then it becomes a little more tricky. Technically there is "adventure" in exploring all the possibilities.
No, it would still just be prolonged crap. Not a big gaming adventure. Clicking choice menus every now and then does not count as an adventure. Just like lengthy, unnecessary NPC dialogue doesn't count as an adventure.
Seriously, this is getting tiresome. What the hell is with people suddenly being so obsessed with D-Mods being Epics? There are certain requirements for an Epic, and if your D-Mod doesn't fill them, then. it's. not. an. Epic. FFS, the next thing you lot will be claiming is that anything bigger than ABC will be an Epic. Instead of arguing against the requirements and coming up with the stupidest D-Mod ideas ever, how about just go make an actual Epic? Or are you people too lazy to actually make one, and that's the reason you have to constantly keep coming up with excuses so your D-Mods could be counted as such? There are people currently making Epic D-Mods, and instead of arguing on this forum about rules that have been around since pretty much the start, they're using that time to go through what is necessary to make an Epic D-Mod. They're not coming up with excuses. They want to make an Epic D-Mod, so they go through what is required to make one. And I'm not saying Epics are better D-Mods. But creating them takes certain type of effort, and it'd be total garbage for someone to not put that effort in and still get their D-Mod in the same category.
You know what? I'm done. Screw this site. Nothing but a bunch of trolls, ass kissers and crybabies who want (and sadly, most often seem to get) everything for nothing. And I've grown too tired of busting my butt off for the past 5-6 years for the good of this site, and having only 1 or 2 people listen to my opinions and respect me as an equal human being. It's at a point where people are disagreeing with me simply because it's me saying it. If it was someone like Tim saying these exact same things, people'd be nothing but all happy-zappy friends and immediately agree. There was a point where I pretty much held this community on my shoulders alone, and what do I get in return? I'm basically being treated on the same level as ThePunisher. Meanwhile, someone like Tim can come along, make a D-Mod, say it's an Epic and everybody will agree. So what's the point. I can't bother anymore.
And if you're gonna call me jealous, I 100% agree. I'm damn jealous. Because I just don't get it. Yes, I've made mistakes, but I've also tried to do everything I can for this site and yet people constantly treat me as a nobody and still occasionally say stuff like "you're worse than Skorn ever was", while people who've done nothing get much more respect. As a long-time member, creator of multiple D-Mods and two Epics, I was expecting people to at least somewhat respect my opinion in this thread, yet the first response I got was "That's rubbish" and people doing exactly what I said was a bad idea.

Now THAT'S venting. As far as my opinion goes (not that you'd care), you guys can do whatever you want from this point on, even if it means destroying the legacy of all the D-Mods and their authors. It no longer concerns me.
