FPzero posted:The best I could think of is a separate betting pool for those people who read the first LP and haven't seen anything past what orenronen got to (which I think was Chapter 3 but I don't know if it was Daily or Deadly life). Orenronen's final update was just before the third trial started. As in, the next update would have been the first trial update.

If I remember things correctly, we were close to that point when news of the official western release came out, so we decided on that as an ending point so the thread won't stop at a completely random spot. (Thank god the news didn't come a couple of weeks later, because trials were hell to record and translate)

Alright thanks for the point of reference. Hmm... I'm not worried about a second pool being extra workload because honestly, it's not that difficult to set up a simple table like the one that's already been made. Let me think about it a little more and I'll make a decision either before or after posting the next update.

I started filling in then realised that I don't remember who everybody is and put it off until later. Will go on today.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() As I raised my head from the e-Handbook with a heavy sigh... I saw the dark courtyard of the hotel. I sat on the bench, paralyzed with thought. ![]() There was no way I could believe that this was now my reality. Even so...this was undeniably real. ![]() ![]() ![]() No matter how much I didn't want to believe it, the moment I experienced and felt it for myself... It became undeniably real. This...is a reality that could not be more different from my usual daily life. School, studying, exams, job hunting, going for walks, going to school, riding the train, lectures... That kind of daily life...is no longer mine. ![]() ![]() As I looked up, I saw stars glimmering in the night, covering the sky like a sheet. They looked as if they were about to fall into my hands like fluttering snow... For the first time since I arrived at this island, instead of the night sky I'd grown accustomed to... I saw a night sky that was far too beautiful... As I stared blankly into that night sky, I suddenly imagined those words in my mind. "The student who murders their classmate will be able to leave this island..." ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() When we were forced to hear those words, we just stood there silently. Nobody said a word, and eventually... Everyone scattered and vanished. ![]() And it led straight on to the first night. A night so beautiful it enchanted me... And yet, my heart was horribly upset. That kind of beauty was definitely...far different than my usual daily life. ![]() ![]() ![]() *Ding dong, bing bong* ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() drat...that's ominous... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() As soon as I entered the cottage, I collapsed onto the bed. ![]() As I screamed silently to myself, I buried my head in my arms. I didn't want to see anyone anymore. I just wanted to be alone forever... ![]() ![]() ![]() I have nobody I can trust... Because, even if I wanted to trust them...I don't know anything about them yet. The only person I can trust is myself... No, even I don't believe that. In truth, after I was forced to hear that dumb rule, "You can't leave unless you kill someone"... I realized there's a part of me that really wants to get off this island... ![]() And, at that moment... I let out a scream. ![]() A scream erupted from my mouth. ![]() It rushed from my mouth like water from a collapsed drat. ![]() Why...me...!? Why...do I have to go through with this...!? ![]() I began to lose my voice, and it faded entirely not long after. What followed...was silence. No, not complete silence. I heard the faint sound of crashing waves in the distance. As if the waves were murmuring into my ears, "This is no longer the world you knew..." And once again, I buried my head in my arms. Why am I here? What am I doing here? ![]() I forced my eyes shut. I wasn't tired or anything, but...I just wanted to sleep, if only for a short while. I wanted to put an end to it all. And if, by chance, I managed to wake up the next day... It would be awesome if I was back to my normal life. With these meager expectations, I fell into a light sleep... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() *Ding dong, bing bong* ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I was forced to acknowledged that yet again...which put me in a bad mood from the get-go. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This bed...is pretty comfortable... ![]() ![]() Monokuma contacts us through these monitors... I really want to break it, but who knows what would happen if I did that... ![]() ![]() ![]() This room has a lot of windows... They probably wanted it to feel tropical and open. Well, this isn't really the time to be grateful for that... ![]() ![]() What is this...? It looks like a shelf... I feel like I shouldn't put anything here... ![]() ![]() There's a room for showering beyond this point. It's pretty large and it looks easy to use, but I've never really felt comfortable showering. ![]() ![]() ![]() Wherever I go...there are surveillance cameras all over the place. It pisses me off to think I'm being watched by a lunatic... But there's nothing I can do about it... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Wh-What...!? ![]() ![]() ![]() This is where the Monokuma plushies are placed...

Alright I've made a decision. There will be a Spoiler Betting Pool for those people who followed the original LP and would like to try and guess who survives the rest of the game from Trial 3 onwards.![]() ![]() https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...TC1A/edit#gid=0 The rules and prize will be the same but when the LP is over I will draw from both pools separately. You don't have to worry that I'm going to combine them together and accidentally give someone in the Spoiler Pool an unfair advantage by virtue of them having to guess fewer characters. You'll be able to find the link to this Pool in the OP in the same section as the other one. Good luck with your predictions!

I wish there was a competition we could do for those who have played the game, but outside of trying to gauge how the thread will react to certain plot beats, I can't see anything that would actually work. Spoiler for the previous lp betting pool It looks like you are missing Usami from the list

I put many hours into Tales of Zestiria, and it's hard to not automatically associate Mahiru's voice with Lailah now. I do appreciate FPZero for including the names of the VA's for the characters, as there are some which sound familiar, but I can't be sure from where.fractalairduct posted:I realise it's probably too late to mention this, but I noticed in the last image you were headed outside from the restaurant.

Gotcha, NISA. "Alcohol" here is from a, uh, I know the term for this... I believe these are called "false friends" in languages, words that seem like they map neatly to some thing in the target language but actually don't. This is kinda obvious in retrospect but "Alcohol" here does not refer to the stuff you drink but to isopropanol a.k.a. isopropyl alcohol a.k.a. rubbing alcohol a.k.a. the extremely common disinfectant which a nurse would deal with all the time. Also, as I recall, when I got handed this it was "bathrooms and the smell of alcohol", not "bathroom smells and alcohol", which makes Mikan seem much weirder than she already does.

Well, I have some bad news. My capture card, which I use to record this LP, has died. Or at least, it's no longer functioning well enough for me to record anything for longer than about 10 seconds. This obviously leaves me with a problem, not just for this LP, but also for the other one I'm doing right now. I'm not happy with the prospect of dropping ~$150 on a new card. Putting aside the other LP, I think my best course of action would be to spend $30 and buy this game on Steam and continue from there. (Too bad i didn't take advantage of the sale on the two games recently.) The only downside is that I won't have access to my complete save files any longer. That throws a wrench in my plans for doing Free Time Roundups during the LP unless I play the whole game again offscreen and do no Free Times the whole game, leaving me with a completely blank School Mode. Whatever my choice, I need to make it soon because the next update is the last one in my backlog. I was trying to record more today when I made this fun discovery. Tomorrow's planned update might only be posted on Saturday so I can space things out a little more and establish a new workflow for recording from PC instead of console. I'm rather annoyed right now. ![]()

I may have jumped the gun. As I type this, I'm currently recording a test video on the pstv home screen, having just done an 8 minute test recording on my Wii U. I don't know what necessarily caused the card to stop working, but I looked at Hauppauge's website and found an update for the Capture software that came out a short while ago. Installing that and rebooting my system appears to have fixed my issues for now. I'm going to hesitantly say that the LP is back on. Sorry for the confusion and mixed messages. Let this be a lesson that you should regularly update the software you use for LP. I hope to get another few updates recorded either tonight or tomorrow night. I'm happy to have this fixed in time for this weekend since I have a couple days off classes for Fall Break.

Double Punctuation posted:Considering the company they eventually merged with, I'm not surprised. The chain of holdings and acquisitions between Spike, Chunsoft, Dwango, Kadokawa and the rest of the dozens of companies under that group today is complicated and almost certainly has no direct influence on the creative decisions of any one leaf company involved. In any case, DR2 was release very shortly after the Spike-Chunsoft merger and so was probably almost entirely developed while Spike was still independent. Out of the two, Spike was the one with the more risqué title library, but it was Chunsoft who brought Dwango/Kadokawa into the mix.

WELP, I may have tried to mimic the LP script, but some issues with me not wanting to rehost every dialogue avatar led me to just provide a simple script of the scene. Sonia: Do not tell me... You, too!? Hajime: Huh? Me too? What are you talking about? Sonia: Oh... Miss Mahiru has asked me to take a leadership position... Mahiru: Well, Byakuya is being too forceful about leading us. Doesn't that raise a red flag? Please, Sonia, think about it again. Don't you think you should be the leader instead? Sonia: I am certain I am ill-suited to be one. Furthermore, though Byakuya may be forceful, I believe he has the qualities to be an effective leader. Mahiru: Eh? Really? Sonia: Do you not remember what he said about being destined to stand above all others? He is truly attempting to fulfill that destiny by the strength of his own will. His impressive stature and physique is a testament to his desire to be the Ultimate Affluent Progeny, no? That...is truly grand. Hajime: I guess...that's one way of looking at it... Mahiru: When you put it like that, Sonia... it does sound convincing. Okay, I understand! I'm sorry for being so pushy, Sonia. Sonia: No, it is simply... A matter of regal discretion!

I vaguely remember you saying you weren't going to do this, but I'm incredibly glad that you are. I look forward to another LP that's going to go off the rails and somewhere into the solar system. This is getting interesting rather fast. DR2 isn't even pretending to be playing within the boundaries of reality from the onset. I actually don't know what to think about Monokuma's reappearance - Junko is obviously dead. I suspect that the method for her despair boner reaching so far past her death has something to do with the "impossible" things that keep happening. Obviously the exact details for those three things are only constrained by exactly how insane this is going to get by the end. Don't disappoint, Japan. As for the betting pool: Steve is dying, Steve better be dying first because gently caress Steve, and Steve dying first means that one of the girls has to take one for the team and get executed. Past that, I'll keep my speculation to myself until it's relevant.

Once again, I'll quote Monobear, emphasis mine:![]() Whatever that countdown is for, it is not a bomb, and probably not anything which would limit their time either. No idea what that could be, though. fractalairduct posted:I suppose I could be misremembering this, but the scene in the hotel lobby was Mahiru trying to convince Sonia to lead again. I don't remember exactly how it played out. Yeah that's basically it. You can read oren's translation of that scene here, although of course spoilers if you go too much farther past that point. *** Why is everyone calling the chef guy Steve? Is there some reference I'm missing?
