And even if the knife was at the edge of the table, Nagito would still need to get down on one knee at the very least so that he could even see the glow-in-the-dark paint. Trying to reach for a knife blindly would be kind of dumb.

FPzero posted:Mahiru is quickly becoming a favorite of mine and I'm definitely pegging her to be the sidekick character as we go further into the game. She's smart, rational, and mostly calm, though she does seem to get a bit wound up when it comes to male/female roles. I dunno about that, now that there's an agreement mechanic in trials we may not need a sidekick. Other people can take turns at having good insights now.

I was rereading the party scene to get a grasp on what everyone was doing and what pre-party stuff the player had knowledge of... this kind of stuck out to me since the skewer has to be the weapon and Hanamura had to be the one who hid it...quote:
DUN DUN DUN. Wouldn't he have served this with the initial foodstuffs? It looks cooked. I call "hidden in plain sight". Also, Hanamura just seems so suspicious after the gang smells blood in the party room quote:
The more we know about the circumstances, the more suspicious Hanamura's nervousness seems...

Falls Down Stairs posted:No it doesn't. It still leaves up to chance the whole idea that anyone would notice the knife at all and decide to care about it more than getting the lights back on. Meanwhile, the person who planted the knife probably planted it close to the centre of the table because if it were near the side, say using the corner of the table as the landmark, someone might have found it by just leaning on the table or something. I was referring to the chance that someone would actually crawl under the table to investigate if the glow was seen because the knife was far enough under that you'd have to crawl under there to actually get at it. If you're looking to retrieve quickly and use the glow so you yourself notice it (mostly for making sure you don't have to feel around for the knife for a long time), you'd want to tape it close enough to the edge for a quick grab, but deep enough in that it wouldn't be noticed by accident while the lights were still on. quote:Another problem with the knife being a lure is that if that's the case, the only person who noticed it was standing way the gently caress on the opposite side of the room and needed night-vision goggles to get from one end of the room to the other. Togami would be the least likely person to get killed in that case. This isn't to say that I fully discredit the idea of Nagito having his own plan; it just seems the less likely of the two possibilities to me. The only thing that's keeping me from fully discrediting the idea is Nagito's sporadic helpfulness. I can see it as either trying to hide his failed murder attempt, or Nagito's keeping his cards close, trying to leave Hanamura enough rope to hang himself.

The biggest thing to me that actually speaks to Hanamura's guilt is that Mikan's embarrassing pose is an evidence bullet. The fact that HE HAS NOT MADE A COMMENT ABOUT IT is really telling, and suggests that that evidence bullet is actually going to be one of the nails in his coffin. I can see it being used to demonstrate that Hanamura probably wasn't in the dining room, because if he were, he would have said something about Mikan's accident. Especially considering how Saonji was mocking Mikan for it, if Hanamura had witnessed it, that would have been his cue to say something. Because if there's one thing reliable about Hanamura, it's what a goddamn perv he is. It would be pretty rich if that characteristic ends up being his undoing.

Yeah, I agree with this and that it would be absolutely fan-fuckin-tastic if the final piece of evidence that breaks the case is the case of the dog that didn't bark: The time when the colossal pervert said nothing. I think that's one of the reasons why Hanamura being a pervert has been noted a couple of times in the trial (one by him himself).

Enough retread theories! VoidBurger and I collaborated on a screenshot Retsupurae. Let's Play the fan roleplay game: Super Dangan Ronpa: Dead End!  SUPER DANGAN RONPA: DEAD END is an unofficial Dangan Ronpa Roleplay. We are currently in application stage, so if you’re interested in being a part of this group, read on. If you’re planning on applying and have no idea what Dangan Ronpa is, it’s highly recommended to read the Lets Play. To put it shortly, a bunch of Super High School Level talents are trapped in a school, and must murder each other for a possibility of escaping. This tumblr roleplay will work much like the game itself- characters will regularly die, and after a death there will be a trial where the characters must attempt to figure out who the killer is. Any important updates will be posted in “Lets Play” style, and any character interactions or artworks that are plot relevant will be reblogged to this blog. There will be a specific tag if you want to read the plot from beginning to end, a tag if you just want to look at fan art, and a tag for other things. If you’re interested in applying, click on the How to Apply page to see the terms and conditions of applying and to view instructions on how to apply. Note that both artistic and literary skills are needed to join. There are currently 6 spots left open, the deadline will be sometime in the next two weeks. If you have anything relevant to the group to post or want me to see something, use the #Super Dangan Ronpa Dead End or #SDRDE tag. We look forward to having you.  Upupupupupu… howtoapply SUPER DANGAN RONPA: DEAD END IS NO LONGER ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS! Before considering joining this roleplay group, you must agree to the following conditions: 1. Your character can, and will most likely, die. You must be aware of this and give us permission to kill your character within the Super Dangan Ronpa: Dead End universe. You are free to use the character outside of the group. 2. You must let me, dragonsroar, the group owner, assign actions to your character and even take control of your character often during plot scenarios. 3. You are essentially applying for your character to be in a “Let’s Play” style story with roleplay on the side. So very often your character will be used in plot posts without me asking for permission each and every time. This is so the story is not spoiled to you or anyone else. You will have free reign over your character’s actions outside of dictated plot aspects. You may even choose to initiate an action I would normally dictate (A killing, accusing someone of being a murderer, ect) 4. You must let me draw the character as often as I like for short movies/plot posts. Most likely I will draw a portrait of every character to use in dialogue to keep the style consistent. 5. At times, I will need to use “godmode” and control your character, or tell your character what they can and cannot do. … And, that’s about it. If you agree to the following, read on. By applying, you give me permission to do all of the above. Requirements for Prospective Applicants: This Tumblr roleplay group requires INTERMEDIATE TO ADVANCED artistic skill and literacy. Before applying, check out the galleries of some of our already accepted members and compare your artwork to theirs. If you believe you match the artwork standards, you are clear on the artistic part. For the literacy aspect, it is recommended you attach a work of writing. This can be a story, a rant post, or just something you wrote with a lot of text where you tried to keep the quality good. Though, it’s completely optional. Regardless of whether you attach that or not, we’ll be rifling through your blog to make sure you match the standards (and that you’re not an rear end in a top hat)- That being said, if you submit from a sideblog or something with no posts on it you will be automatically disqualified! Also, when filling out desired character gender, please remember that we want an equal girl/boy rate. So when we start, we will have 8 girls and 8 boys. If you understand all of the above, you are free to proceed onto the application page (submissions) and fill out the following form: Desired Name: Have you read Dangan Ronpa/SDR2?: Artwork Examples: Literary Examples (optional): Have you read Dangan Ronpa: no, what’s that lol??? Artwork examples: :3--< <--it’s a catgirl Literary examples: bookes, novels, scribbles on the sidewalk, manga, Nanowrimos.... Desired Super High School Level Talent: Desired Character Gender: We have no deadline, we accept on a standard meeting rate. If someone applies that we believe would be a great addition to the group, we will accept them as soon as possible. If we reject you, don’t be sad! Remember, there are only 16 spots, so it’s gonna be tight. There’s tons of other groups you could possibly join, go rifle around deviantArt groups and you’re sure to find one you’ll fit in to. I got accepted! What do I do? Congratulations! Good to have you on board. Your first duty is to create a blog for your character. Please name the blog your characters first and last name (ex: narutouzumaki) , and if it’s taken, add a dash somewhere. It’s just far too confusing with a bunch of interest-related names, so we’re keeping it simple. Next, you need to fill out the character form:  It’s preferred you only put the bust on the ID card. You will need to provide me with a CLEAN fullbody piece of your character along with the ID card (they may be the same illustration)  The fullbody should be complete (shading and everything) and a relatively large size. I may be using these at different points in time throughout the story. (Probably not for panels though, I’m just going to draw every character their own talksprite so the style is consistent for plot and story progression posts.) Please send these in a link in the same submission as your character’s ID card. Also please include- Desired Motif: (What does your character represent? Hearts? Keys? Scissors, like Fukawa? Just pick a symbol or idea.) Brief backstory: Personality: Largest desire: Most prized possession: Biggest secret: Reason for pursuing Super High School Level Talent: Likes: Dislikes: The above will NOT BE DISTRIBUTED. They are simply to decide plot aspects, if your character should be involved in a twist, special event, ect. You can change the above at any time, just resubmit the form with the edited items. So don’t be stressed about getting it perfect the first time, as long as you give me a general idea we’ll be fine. After you finish, upload it to tumblr on your character’s blog, and tag it #Super Dangan Ronpa Dead End. I’ll probably see it in the tag (if the tag lags, just put a thing in the ask box that says “I finished the app!”) and I’ll look at it. If there’s anything that needs to be fixed, I’ll tell you and you can submit it to the group. Just wait patiently for the other applicants to finish. We’ll be seeing you there! CHAPTER 1: BETTER OFF DEAD  ….  How did this happen? Am I dreaming? …. Is it time for breakfast? Oh, wait. I think…  Hopes Peak Academy. A school of prestige that recruits talented students from around the world, with a promise of success later in their life. Deemed “The Academy of Hope” by many, its education is seen as the pinnacle of quality…. Though it leads me to wonder, does the school determine the student’s success or do the students just happen to get good places in life because they’re the most talented teenagers in the world? Oh, I’m getting off topic. Anyway, there are two requirements to getting accepted to this school. One must be a high school student, and one must be top in their respective field. They’re unique because you can’t apply to the academy. They personally track down the most talented students and send them invitations to enroll. But then, that begs the question.  Why the gently caress was I accepted? Okay, sorry. You don’t even know me yet. My name is Shitai Sinclaire. Yeah, my name is a bit odd- Please don’t call me corpse*, that’s rude. *Shitai can mean corpse in Japanese. I’m just a normal high school student. I’m not Super High School Level anything, in my opinion. I’m not athletic, I can’t draw, I can’t write (emphasis: slowbeef's) I’m not double jointed, I can’t touch my nose with my tongue, I just can’t do anything extraordinary. I guess if you were to give me a Super High School Level talent, I’d be a Super High School Level Spoon Balancer because I can balance three spoons on my face for like 12 seconds. Hey, don’t laugh. I bet you can’t. So, that’s why when I got an “Acceptance Letter” to Hope’s Peak Academy, I left it on the kitchen table for a couple days.  Really though, can you blame me? I thought someone had pulled a prank on me. Stick a fake acceptance letter in my mailbox, and when I get excited and open it, it’s some crudely drawn image of an explicit body part. I wasn’t going to let that happen. So, to spite them, I let it sit there until the week before school. Just for kicks, I opened the letter to see what was inside. I expected a couple bad drawings, maybe some bugs or something, but instead what was inside was what I least expected. An actual acceptance letter. I got accepted for being “the person possessing Super High-School Level Hope.” Hope? Is that even a talent? The only thing I’m exceptional at hoping for is my next meal. I’ve never been another person, so I don’t know how other people go about hoping… Regardless, here I am now.  I stood outside Hope’s Peak Academy, counting my breaths. Inside were so many talents… People whose trash was worth more than my entire existence. And I was going to join them. I shook my head, closed my eyes, and walked into the school…  Maybe it was a bad idea to close my eyes. That's all for the Intros and part 1, but here were our rejected IDs (credit and props to VB):

Man, I have to agree with everyone else in really digging the new trial mechanics. Being able to agree with people is in retrospect a really obvious way to make people other than the player character have competent points to make. I can already foresee having trial segments with both red and blue text that we need to puzzle out whether to agree or disagree with someone, making for more complex gameplay. The game's writing and thought processes all make sense and flow logically, with pretty much every argument that our classmates are putting forth being things that we in the thread already discussed at length. I agree (or should I say concur?) that a time where the protagonist is actually legitimately wrong would be interesting to watch. It happened a few times in the Phoenix Wright games, where Phoenix would just throw out really dumb points when he's floundering for an argument to stand on, and when he got mercilessly shot down it was always fun to watch. Hinata doesn't seem the type to throw out really dumb points, but I can see the game mimicking another technique the Phoenix Wright games did, where the protagonist puts forth intentionally wrong arguments or accuses someone he knows is innocent just to buy time or change the subject. I can see Hinata trying something like this, only to get shot down by one of the more competent classmates. It would actually be kind of what Naegi did to Kirigiri in the fake ending in DR1, pointing out the truth but unintentionally screwing her over in the process. As for the way the mystery is going, I'm still on board with Hanamura being the culprit. Souda being super set on Peko being the culprit is still suspicious, but he might just end up being the Hagakure/Aoi of this game with passionately making accusations without really much to back them up. Like the thread is saying, it probably went Nagito setting up the knife, then Hanamura under the floor for the kill. My main concern is that I just can't get behind Nagito being an attempted murderer. Not based on any evidence, really, he just isn't giving me the vibe of someone who was so desperate to get off the island that he would plan a murder. A while ago I brought up that maybe he and Togami were originally working together to fake Togami's death, which would explain the setup without Nagito actually planning to kill, but really however I try to think it out the whole thing just seems monumentally stupid. What seems more likely is that Nagito may be a mole or a traitor or something; maybe he's in the same situation Sakura was in DR1 where he's being threatened into messing with things to sow maximum despair. Whatever it is, I feel strongly that there is more to Nagito's actions than simply wanting to kill and get off the island. FInally just want to say that the translation is as always really good. Oren and Fedule are both doing great at giving characters voices with subtly good writing. In Japanese it's easy to just take grammatical shortcuts to give a sense of a character's voice, like for example having Hinata seem more forceful than Naegi was. Having Hinata use 'ore' instead of 'boku' as his first person pronoun, or take Naegi's classic rebuttal (sore wa chigau) and roughen it up (sore wa chigauzou) are quick and simple ways to get the point across that they have different personalities. There's no real way to convey this change in English, but you guys do a drat good job of it with just solid writing all around. Not to say that the original writing is bad or lazy, of course, but you guys really knock it out of the park.

There's already a few updates for that roleplay by the way! I would personally prefer it if people didn't post spoilers, because the awful, awful character designs are goddamn hilarious and the episodes are boring without those reveals. Also, we don't want anyone to give these roleplayers a tough time, so don't bother them! Let them roleplay in their natural environment.

Wow. Um. That was so bland, reaching and unfunny, I'm not exactly sure what's going on here. You say you don't want people going after the roleplayers, but then why present their product to us as something to be ridiculed? As far as I can tell, this seems like some nerds from one kind of complicated hobby (let's play) deciding to find another complicated nerd hobby to pick on (tumblr roleplay). It's one thing to retsupurae a let's play that cannot provide good quality of recording, commentary, editing or anything else. Those are things you know about and have authority to speak on; that's what makes it entertaining. It's another to find something you know nothing about what constitutes quality in those circles and... well, make fun of every aspect. Guess I'm just letting my opinion be known that this is nearly painful to look at for how gratuitous and shame-y I find it. If you wanted to make fun of people making up their own SHSLs, I would have found it more effective to post some pictures of designs and then just disclaimer that they look silly, nothing against the artists who drew them.

Yeah, I thought that was dreadfully unfunny, and pretty much nothing more than mean-spirited shaming. If you want to point out how bad an RP is, point out what is bad about the RP, and joke about that; don't write up an intentionally bad parody with a major undertone of "People who RP sure are freaks, aren't they?". I'd be pretty uncomfortable with this sort of thing in any other thread, and am even more uncomfortable that it's coming from a mod.

I actually sort of liked reading the 'roleplay' on the basis of the art.

I've glanced through it and unless I'm mistaken, they've done all/most of the introductions, like meeting the characters.

Yeah, I try to be self-aware when doing stuff like this, which is why this comment:slowbeef posted:

fool_of_sound posted:Yeah, I thought that was dreadfully unfunny, and pretty much nothing more than mean-spirited shaming. If you want to point out how bad an RP is, point out what is bad about the RP, and joke about that; don't write up an intentionally bad parody with a major undertone of "People who RP sure are freaks, aren't they?". I'd be pretty uncomfortable with this sort of thing in any other thread, and am even more uncomfortable that it's coming from a mod. Personally, I'm looking forward to it. Roleplaying is some seriously weird poo poo, even by the standards of whatever hobbies have threads in these very forums.

Making fun of what amounts to bad fanfiction is open game, really. Just because more than one person is making it doesn't really distinguish it from any other artistic endeavor that ends up being hilariously awful. I fully expect the writing and character-interaction to be hackneyed and trying too hard to capture the style that remains outside their ken. The artist isn't bad when it comes to technical ability, but their taste level is questionable. That's really the tragedy here.

HangedManArcana posted:I actually sort of liked reading the 'roleplay' on the basis of the art. That is, until I learned that the mod is controlling almost everything. gently caress that poo poo, they deserve this now, and it shall be glorious. The biggest issue I saw originally, after it was brought to my attention, was the stupid "Intermediate to Advanced" Art skills. Yeah, that's part of the reason why I'm not getting mad over it -- if it were a whole bunch of tumblr dudes coming together and working things out plot-wise then I'd be a little 'ehh' but here? If you want to control a bunch of new anime teens to your own specifications, just write a self-insert fanfiction or something. The art is okay, at least. I can't really bag on them for that, considering my own artistic skills are paltry at best.

I think the whole thing is... just... precious. Yeah. That's the word I'm going with. I mean, sure, the whole thing is ridiculous, but it's just... these people are so sure of themselves that one can't help but feel a bit mean when mocking them. Then one actually reads through the stuff they're making and one is suddenly just fine with it again.

My only suggestion for the RP is maybe resize both of your commentator avatars to about half size or see if there's a better way to distinguish your text from the roleplay's text. They're pretty large as they are and I found myself missing some of the roleplay's lines in between them as I read. Otherwise, I'm ready to see where this rabbit hole leads.
