There will definitely be large group activities in the future. For the prelude I kind of wanted to let everyone do their own thing so that I could get an idea for who was going to buddy up with who, what everyone's writing strengths/weaknesses were, how the characters actually behaved, etc.

Daily life sections in the RP are mostly going to be used to let everyone know I'm working on a murderer, likely with several other players. While I would like the characters to build bonds and reveal things about themselves, I realize that such actions can feel empty when all characters do is talk about things that happened [i]before[/i] the rp started. The mastermind and their goons definitely have a few crazy things planned for everyone, some life threatening, some not. I'm also okay with the players trying to host their own events. But once Monokuma declares a motive, you can bet things will get ugly pretty quickly. I'll likely use a mix of both tactics. However, I think events like the nights of carnage will also give the RP a much needed change of pace. especially with some of the crazier things on higher floors.

Gunna take a quote directly from the OOC.

[h3][color=Magenta]Q:[/color] How hard will the cases be to solve? What happens when we fail?[/h3]
[indent][color=Magenta]A:[/color]The goal is more to tell a story than create a forum version of the Danganronpa game. What made the games so interesting was that it was both a mystery game and a mystery book. You got to solve a case, but you also got surprised by big reveals presented by other characters. the lot of you will have to solve the mysteries, but I will give you a gentle push if you get stuck. In terms of difficulty, the mysteries will be much closer to DR1 than DR2. But if there's a huge call for harder cases, I can definitely up the ante. I'm a big mystery/logic fan that has quite a bit of experience.[/indent]

Like in the games, comic, anime, etc, There isn't going to be a need to call a vote until you 100% know both who did it and how the entire murder was carried out. The secrecy is just to keep things fresh and engaging.

I love to collaborate, everything is held together, reads nice, and it's usually more consistent than a bunch of separate posts. But you need to be careful who you collab with. An unannounced vacation can set everyone back. If you do collaborate in a group larger than two, I strongly suggest setting up some ground rules in the event that someone goes radio silent.

With that all said, I'm probably going to give everyone a bit more time to look around and such, then have a mini time skip to the afternoon where everyone shares their discoveries. After that... I guess we'll see.
