Let's go have a SWOLE SESSION with Nidai, then cool down and compare action figures and talk hamsters with Gundam.

resurgam40: Jul 22, 2007; Battler, the literal stupidest man on earth. Why are you even here, Battler, why did you come back to this place so you could fuck literally everything up?

I like this group of students a lot better than the last one. For voting, I'll say Souda because I'm worried about him, and Gundam because this?

Voted Togami and Sonia, as both of them ruled hard in that last update.

Blastinus: Feb 28, 2010; Time to try my luck

Crap.

It's really hard to choose who I want to know about more, so let's just start with the folks at the forefront of today's events: Togami and Souda. I've got a bad feeling about Togami in particular, because Monobear isn't going to just sit back and let our returning player dominate the game.

Zandar posted:

Because if all Monobear said (and backed up with selective evidence) was that he survived, the implication would be that he killed someone and got away with it. Combined with Togami assuming a leadership role and trying to gain everyone's trust in this game, it wouldn't look good for him.

It may not be the same Monobear, so there may not be any evidence to create the implication, and still, in this situation, wouldn't you rely on the survivor, regardless of the possibility of them being a sucessful murderer.

ApplesandOranges: Jun 22, 2012; Thankee kindly.

Woo, Free Time, Free Time, best time of the game times~

Going with a vote for Nidai and Sonia. Best characters, darnit. :colbert:

And going to tally votes, as usual. Here's the count so far:

Gundam Tanaka: 52
Byakuya Togami: 51
Sonia Nevermind: 33
Kozuichi Souda: 18
Nekomaru Nidai: 16
Nagito Komaeda: 15
Chiaki Nanami: 13
Peko Pekoyama: 10
Fuyuhiko Kuzuuryu: 5
Hiyoko Saionji: 5
Ibuki Mioda: 5
Akane Owari: 4
Teruteru Hanamura: 3
Mahiru Koizumi: 3

Hilariously, Tsumiki doesn't have a single vote yet.
Gundam and Togami have a commanding lead, with Sonia solidly in third place. Nidai, Souda and Komaeda will need some serious catching up to do to have any chance.

...no. No, if there was a strong possibility that Togami was a masterful con-artist who killed someone to escape the exact same situation that he was now in, I don't think I'd particularly want to take his advice.

Anyway, this is kind of irrelevant; all I wanted to say was that Togami doesn't have to die to be unable to hold the group together. If nothing else, he'll lose a lot of credibility after the first murder, and if even one person stops recognising his authority it'll breed an atmosphere of suspicion.

Falls Down Stairs: Nov 2, 2008; IT KEEPS HAPPENING

A thought inspired by the bomb/not-bomb/maybe-bomb- wasn't 21 days the amount of time that DR1 took place over? I could totally be misremembering that though...

And Togami and Nagito for free time since they're the two who make me go "what the hell is your deal" more than anyone. _{I will not be seduced into changing my mind by the siren song of HelloWinter's adorable as gently caress fanart.}

Apropos of nothing question: It's been mentioned a that Let's Plays of the first chapter and no further of DR1 were encouraged by Spike Chunsoft. Was there any similar unofficial rule/encouragement for DR2?

I'm going to go for Kuzuryuu because he seems neat and I wanna see more of him, and Nidai because MANLY SPIRIT.

BravestOfTheLamps: Oct 12, 2012; by FactsAreUseless; Lipstick Apathy

Togami, becuase Togami, and Sonia, because she suddenly broke character in an amazing manner.

I think it'd be best to refrain from declaring someone "the best character" because the title holder keeps changing with every update. :allears:

Wow, I was not expecting Gundam to have that reaction to having his hamsters called cute. :allears:

That being said, I'll just help pile onto the lead with Gundam and toss a wayward vote at Hanamura.

Technical note: the timer animates with flashes of random numbers when shown in background shots like this one. The fact that my still shots capture some of them is meaningless - the actual numbers that are supposed to be on the timer are more like the ones shown in the closeup before.

The numbers on the timer are an implied 21, and then 31:75:43. Since it's a timer that's counting down, it only makes sense for 43 to be in front of 21 to make 4321. Since we need to switch around the 43, this is a hint that we need to switch around other numbers, too. Therefore, we should switch 5 to the front of 31:75 to get 5317. And as everyone knows, the best twist is to do the exact same twist that you did before, so if we turn 5317 upside-down, we get LIES. What are the lies? Well, for one, Oren's note that the numbers don't mean anything must be a lie! :tinfoil:

orenronen posted:

He lifted his right arm and it's all wobbly! I have a nickname for him that fits perfectly -- "Mr. Porkfeet!"

Furthermore, this part stands out. "Porkfeet" is an anagram of "Pete Fork". The first result I found googling Pete Fork was the Wikipedia page for Peter Falk. Falk is not the same as Fork, so that must be a clue. Obviously this means that the islands that they're on are the Falkland Islands.
On the disambiguation page for Falkland, there's a town of Falkland in Nova Scotia. This means that the kingdom of Novoselic is actually Nova Scotia. Since Sonia was introduced at the same time as Teruteru, and Teruteru's voice actor voiced Lelouch, this world must have an alternate history from our world, especially related to Sonia, proving that Nova Scotia is Novoselic.
Speaking of voice actors, Sonia's voice actor voiced Himari in Penguindrum, so penguins must be a major clue to the truth of this world. The Falkland Islands have 5 species of penguins: king penguins, rockhopper penguins, magellanic penguins, gentoo penguins, and macaroni penguins. These penguins must represent our survivors.
-The king penguin obviously represents Sonia, who is actually the King of Canada (she's actually male, because again, the best twists are the ones you've done before).
-Ibuki is a rocker, and she probably hops, so she's the rockhopper.
-Magellan was a traveler, so the magellanic penguin must also be a traveler; guess who likes traveling alone? Mahiru.
-Gentoo is a type of OS, so the gentoo penguin represents Chihiro- I mean Chiaki. Their names both start with Chi, they both like computer stuff, and they were born on the same day (I think?) so they must be the same person.
-Finally, there's the macaroni penguin. Who does this represent? Well, just look at it, who do you think?
But enough about who survives, who's the mastermind? Well, the first Google result for Pete Fork that actually is related to someone named Pete Fork is an empty Youtube channel. The only clue here is the join date, April 17, 2012. What did Oren post that day? Update #60 of Dangan Ronpa.

This must mean that this is a LIE. You can't have LIES without multiple LIES, of course. Therefore, Yamada is alive, is the mastermind, and is hiding in the Monoball until the timer hits 0, the ball drops to celebrate the new year, and Yamada is reborn from his monococoon like a beautiful butterfly.

Rohan Kishibe: Oct 29, 2011; Frankly, I don't like you
and I never have.

Togami continues to be the best character, though Sonia may overtake him, we'll see. I can't recall how long a time period the first game took place over, but I think it was more than three weeks right?

Mods, please change Pork Lift's name to Mr Porkfeet tia.
