I think overall one of my favourite characters is Fat!Togami, but the reasons why are so wreathed in spoilers I cannot elaborate. Similar reasons for liking another character as well. And speaking of Steve: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=groaPrY41Rk

So Monokuma brought back up this time around? Interesting! Also, it seems like Usami and Monokuma knew each other before this went down, is there like a race of stuffed animal robots that have powers to control the world?

The first game had the 15/16 students thing which allowed for one to be controlling Monobear, but even from what we've seen now, it doesn't look like they'll be doing the exact same thing again. In the classroom there were 16 desks and 16 students. Now we have not one but two puppets interacting with people in front of all the students. So I'm not even going to bother trying to guess which students might possibly be controlling the puppets. I'm not even sure that's the case.ReturnOfFable posted:Huh, that's some motivation. "Kill each other or my giant robots will kill you." At least the game didn't take long to drop the tropical vacation act. I think this is more like "Don't try to kill me or my giant robots will kill you." One thing I noticed in Monobear's speech was the part where he said "No time limit". That's not important information now, though.

Two things not related to this discussion but still important to the LP (well, one of them is) : First, my Danganronpa 1 LP just went live on the LP Archive and I am very happy right now. Second, and more importantly, I need to bring up Free Time Events with you all. I'm trying to figure out the best way to handle them this time around. In the first LP, I did events as I saw fit, sometimes at random and other times because I was trying to get specific skills. My explanation for skills is still a couple updates away from this point but let's just say that I don't have to worry about doing specific Free Times for specific skills as much this time around. As such, I'm considering thread votes for at least some of the Free Time events. I know that there are a lot more people reading this LP that haven't played the game or watched it all the way through, so it makes sense to me to allow some form of thread participation and let you all see the events of the characters that interest you the most. It also helps that I don't expect to be swamped by a huge wave of tumblr votes from manic fan communities like probably happened during orenronen's LP. There are a couple potential hiccups in this plan though. One would relate to my actual process of recording and writing updates. If I allow thread voting on Free TImes, that means that I'll be unable to keep a backlog when Free Times are concerned, potentially slowing down the LP when we get to those points so that I can hold the vote, record the events using the results, and then write the updates. That said I think I have a couple options available to me here. I could either preempt the Free Time Events and hold generic votes at the start of the Chapter or a couple updates before the next set of Free Times to get a feel for who people want to see instead of waiting until the update that precedes the Free Times goes up and then holding the vote. Another option would be for me to make the decision for who to do one or two events with on my own based on either general thread discussion or leftover poll results from the previous chapter. Basically, I would choose a couple events and then you all would vote on the rest of the ones for that Chapter. Another hiccup is character availability. This game is kind in that unlike the first game, where you could sometimes do a Free Time with someone even when they're not in the mood and not get credit for it, if someone is unavailable for a Free Time you simply won't be able to find them to even initiate an event. However, for a variety of plot reasons throughout the game, characters will come and go in terms of availability. This begs the question, do I make the poll and only list the characters that will be available or do I list everyone and if someone is unavailable but was the top vote in the poll is simply to go with the second highest vote and delay the top vote until they become available once more? I'm not too keen on listing who's available if I choose to post the polls ahead of time to give myself time to write a backlog since I don't want to give away accidental spoilers regarding who is and isn't available due to some story event that happens prior to Free Time. The last issue I can think of is how many polls to post? My thought was to do one poll per Chapter and look at the highest scoring characters to determine who to visit with. The concern I have here is that if I do it this way, all I know is the top three or so characters and not if people want to do multiple events with a character in that chapter. I think orenronen's LP did one poll per Free Time and I can do that too if I don't mind running lots of polls. There's really no good way to plan this out. If I do thread polls, I'm leaning towards doing one or two events without a poll (my choice) and one single poll for the rest of the events. There's also the option of not doing thread polling at all and saving myself a small headache. If anyone has any thoughts on this matter I'd love to hear them. Do you want thread voting for Free Time Events? I'm sitting at the Chapter 1 Free Times unsure of what to do and wanting to record again soon, especially since I'm slowly running out of a backlog now.

I'm leaning towards no polls cause I don't really care what you do with free time events, so long as you get that one early one.

My suggestion would be, if you want to do thread participation, then at the start of each chapter, say how many free time events we'll get and who all is unavailable, then allow voting for who to go with for each event. So lets just say as an example... "Chapter 1: 3 Free Times, Peko won't hang out with us." followed by... "1: Fuyuhiko 2: Chiaki 3: Chiaki" as votes for Fuyuhiko, then Chiaki twice. That's just my suggestion. (though, since you mentioned being at free times.... (actual DR2 spoiler) Make sure to force one for Nagito so that his are even available at all later if you weren't already gonna. Alternatively just do Chapter 1's by your choice and then do voting for the rest. )

I'm fine with no voting. I'm bad at non binary decisions anyway. ![]()
|

I'd suggest allowing chapter by chapter as SMaster said, but just sub in the second highest vote if someone isn't available for the slot they were voted. It think as long as it's understood how you're doing it up-front it shouldn't be an issue. And maybe do a 1/3-1/2 split. So if there's 7 spots, have you pick 3 for yourself and the other 4 let the thread choose. Best of both worlds.

I don't think thread participation is necessary, tbh. I'm assuming you intend to show all the free times anyway, same as the last LP. That said, I hope you go for the one where Akane is eating the Monokuma curry. That's one of the funniest things in the game imo.

I'm totally cool with leaving Free Time choices up to you, if that's what's best for your process.

Yeah, go ahead and decide what to do on your own. It sounds much faster and simpler.

Would it be possible to just record all the free time events, and then just post the ones that the thread votes for, or would that just be too much effort? If it is, then I think you just do the free time events that you want and not worry about it.

|
I vote for no votes.
|

|
Well there seems to be a pretty clear consensus that I should just do it myself. In that case, I'll handle them on my own. That said, I'll try and gauge who the thread seems to like the most or is most interested in learning about as we go and do some character events based on that. Cool. Well this means I can start recording again.

I vote for no votes as well since there's still going to be plenty of nudge nudge wink wink from the crowd who have already played both games so just go with what you feel is the best choices, FPzero.
