Use the fear of the unknown to scare your players!

Simulate the true horror movie experience by asking your players to roll every time they claim to know something, looking at the roll, looking pensively to your notes and claiming that the dc was too high.

The Togami bloodline FUCKS

It sure fucking does huh- but honestly, I feel pretty dumb that I overlooked this aspect for so long. I did a post a long while ago (well. extremely impulsive) about how Checkers and his brother parallel to the twins of Monster as a possible experimentation, but to think there was at first, a ‘perfect human to lead the world’ thing with Byakuya beyond... just the bloodline and organisation.

He pretty much spells it outright early on in the FTE. Sounds like boasting, but considering how he had to fight a battle to come out on top, using those characteristics, it sure isn’t coming out of the ether.

jorrynoftheroundtable replied to your photoset “Notice something… a bit weird, about this ‘path to the truth’? ...”

I just want to add; it's not far-fetched to say Ouma does this to push the trial along. I believe he was suspicious of Korekiyo, and painted suspicion on himself to get a read on him (See: Korekiyo's reaction to Ouma's confession) I like the idea that it's also a power play, though. Ouma does his best work when people think he's lying, and knows how to lead Shuichi on a certain path. Needless to say, this boy is a smart one.

Of course it’s not far-fetched! This boy is capable of scripting an entire trial to account for peoples’ action and reaction, with alternate paths to boot. A stupidly impressive feat, one that sounds unrealistic, but nonetheless it’s real and we shouldn’t forget it happened, and what he’s capable of. So seeing the ins and outs like this is super cool with that hindsight knowledge, and it helps to know what we’re seeing unfold is just a small taste of that.

And yeah, the bolded point about the power play is basically what I meant by minimising his credibility to an end (not... worded very conclusively or clearly, now I look at it again, argh)- he works under the radar as a matter of course, so in order for Monokuma to not catch on to things he’s doing *ahem* Insect Meet and Greet, his gestures to others can’t be spelled out. And while this has its limits, it’s also when he can really shine as his emotional-rollercoaster best, using his knowledge of emotion like stirring up winds to change the air.

Really, Ouma is endlessly fascinating for the way he comes off like he’s ‘an annoying brat’, yet that’s the complete flip of what he actually is- the smartest and wisest one there, all with heap tonnes of passive aggression. Terrifying

So the question we have: did shuichi set up Kaede, or was he just a complete dumbass? Our dear ace defective isn't the best judge of people, especially if the plot demands it

Yeah, judge of people generally he is... not, but judge of Kaede is another matter, as differences in worldview don’t afflict him quite as much with Kaede (as with his ‘extreme opposite’, like Ouma for instance). There’s also the little matter of how he can gauge set scenarios to accuracy, which impresses Kirumi in her FTE. Plus, there’s... a ‘cute’ little moment where he says to Kaede how he ‘knows she doesn’t like to admit defeat’, as if he knows her stubbornness well. There’s also the issue of Shuichi being just as prone as Kaede to reactionary bouts of denial, which will throw spanners in the works later on...

Take a breath. Nobody's forcing you to do this. With the information you've been given, you've done admirable amounts of work. Team Danganronpa is a formidable opponent, and just happened to beat the fandom. It's not for you to fight the entire fandom's battle. If you want to keep going, you should. But there's no shame if you drop out.

They did indeed- that is certainly an adroit way of putting it. And thank you, your input has been a great help for a long time. I really appreciate that

It’s... confusing. I want to, but my impulsiveness - kind of hard-wired due to the anxiety - is screwing things up and making it way harder to do anything I want to effectively and at times even judge my feelings about things. Which in turn is stressful. Though now I’m wanting to do more things creatively without the binds, but I can’t do that without feeling like judging myself. I can get only so far, even simple creative things will get stuck in limbo for weeks or more. It’s such a mess

So according to my mind and the fandom’s overall atmosphere it feels like I have no choice but to gear up and tough it out, or find better solutions with some distance- to avoid feeding into lingering patterns out of fear or anger and what tf people expect from me before I’m allowed to say something is a real issue. I dunno. I always end up flying back in, so I need to work something out

I imagine you've already got this, but the "we're still on script" line always irks me. Oh worm you expected your players to fuck up your carefully crafted story right at the end tsumugi? I guess that's why the hope's peak flashback light was rushed huh? You had everything nailed perfectly except the parts you didn't? Worst DM ever.
