Re: Super Dangan Ronpa 0.2 [OOC] (MURDER TIME!)
It seems perfectly reasonable to me, as I can quite honestly say I find absolutely nothing wrong with it.
I WOULD like to propose some sort of test trial, though, to see how this system actually works when put into effect. Obviously on paper it sounds brilliant, but will it actually change things? Obviously I'm optimistic, but better safe than sorry.
(It seems silly to propose a mystery that's already been solved, but maybe we can use BP's murder app? The important thing is to see how the structure flows, not to solve a brand new mystery, so... maybe that could work?)

I'd suggest talking about this after the current trial, instead of forgetting about it in favour of creating this new system.

Re: Super Dangan Ronpa 0.2 [OOC] (MURDER TIME!)
Can someone please clear up where exactly we are and what we're expected to be doing? Every time I think about posting, I can only think about how lost I am and how any post by me would be saying "Hazuki feels really lost". I'll fully admit that it's my fault that I'm having trouble keeping up due to my lack of skill regarding mysteries, but I do want to try to finish this trial. I just can't seem to find the right way to help do that.

I'm having the same issue right now, to be quite honest...

Same. While I'm keeping up with the mystery, I'm unsure whether this would be the right time to bring out the full theories (always hesitant with those) or whether there's a specific thing we should still discuss before that, or...

Re: Super Dangan Ronpa 0.2 [OOC] (MURDER TIME!)
Please let's not go on for THREE months on this trial. I'm just... I'm just honestly so sick of this trial and this current system we're using for it, because it is very blatantly not working.
Personally, I am all in favor of breaking out full theories right now. We've been going on and on for more than long enough here, and it's just become tiring and demotivating at this point. The sooner we can pull the plug on this one and move on to a system that makes far more sense and should make things go much more smoothly and quickly, the better. It's not helping that the killer has been rather apparent for a while now, too.
It's time to move on. It really is.
Yes, I know my posts have been becoming whiny, complainy, and overall negative. After how long this trial has dragged out, can you really blame me?

Re: Super Dangan Ronpa 0.2 [OOC] (MURDER TIME!)
To help catch up - I'm a little out of things today - I think the only two remaining questions to tie everything together for the murder are the following:
a) Where the bandages came from that were used on Akira. If they came from the Sick Bay, it was taken well in advance, by appearances.
b) The meaning of the door to the Sick Bay being opened three times. The current theory is that the killer went inside once to get a straitjacket to keep Akira bound during her ghastly, slow murder... and another time was Teruko peeking in, leaving a third time still a question mark.
Unless we're overlooking something, that seems to be it?
For once, speaking as someone who was a killer that was forced to confess everything because the playerbase was throwing a tantrum, I'd like to see a murder solved by the players actually figuring it out. It took a long time getting here, but I think we're almost done.
Writing murders and running them are very, very hard. Planning them, fairness checking, GMing and keeping tabs of the flow of the story, trying to account for every possible way people might think to do something... it's not easy.
We've already had it effectively blow up in our faces twice. Let's not strike out. I'd like to think we're all better than that after all the friction that's happened between both DR games following 0.1's closure.

On a, I'm not 100% sure that actually matters. As for b, someone's presented me with a theory for that that seems reasonable enough. I suppose he just needs something to springboard himself into giving said theory? Maybe someone could challenge someone or something to let help them speak? Iunno.

I legitimately have no idea what either of these two mean, or when they were brought up.spd12 wrote:a) Where the bandages came from that were used on Akira. If they came from the Sick Bay, it was taken well in advance, by appearances.

My last few posts brought those points up, for the record.
Anyway, expect me to post later today.

Re: Super Dangan Ronpa 0.2 [OOC] (MURDER TIME!)
I'd like to clarify something, as my words seem to be coming off the wrong way.
I'm not blaming anybody involved in the roleplay for my frustrations with the pace of this trial. I'm not blaming Topaz for sending in a shoddy murder app and I'm not blaming the GMs for doing a poor job of overseeing the trial. (I don't believe either of these statements are true, for the record.) I'm blaming the system we've been using for trials, and my frustration lies solely with that. It's needlessly confusing and can easily leave people behind in the dust, as evidenced by how quickly activity dropped in the trial. Was I the most active poster in the trial? Absolutely not. But look in the discussion thread. I'm clearly not the only one who had problems keeping up.
In a nutshell, was this trial exhausting and tiresome? I absolutely feel that it was, I won't lie. Am I blaming anybody for it? No, I'm not. I'm not saying anybody shouldn't have realized what the main problem was sooner and I'm not saying anybody is stupid for taking this long to figure it out. It just happens, trial and error. You figure out what works and what doesn't through experience. Am I going to let it put a damper on things going forward? No. We've identified a key issue as to exactly why things get like this, and I think that's going to help out a lot in the future, and I'm a lot more motivated to participate because of it.
Does that clear up my stance on this? I hope so.

We're on chapter 3!
I'm glad to see everyone (but one person) posted as of lately - if you're all interested in continuing, I'm game to keep going forward.
Hit me up if there's anything you want to do, or to help your story along, or whatever. All I ask in turn is that you, too, stay committed to keep telling whatever story you wanted to tell from the beginning.
