Retsupurae isn't always just "man this guy's method of recording is awful!" Take the dude who inserted himself into Pokemon and Fire Emblem, or even wayyyyyy back to that one dude who recorded himself walking around outside swinging his sword looking like an idiot. Even those videos like the fat dude eating 20(?) mini hamburgers on video. It's okay to laugh at insanely weird people on the internet sometimes.

My only suggestion for the RP is maybe resize both of your commentator avatars to about half size or see if there's a better way to distinguish your text from the roleplay's text. They're pretty large as they are and I found myself missing some of the roleplay's lines in between them as I read.

Otherwise, I'm ready to see where this rabbit hole leads.

I agree. :shobon: It'll be easier to read with the avatars a little smaller.

As opposed to the reasonable, down-to-earth names we've seen so far in Dangan Ronpa.
Well, I think you should think about that name. Shitai Sinclaire. The first name is Japanese, but the last name obviously isn't. I think that alone makes it sound a little...pretentious? I don't know if that's the right word or not, it's the only one that comes to mind. Sinclaire is a very English name, meanwhile they specifically picked Shitai for the meaning of the word corpse. What is the purpose of this? In the game we have Sonia Nevermind. Her name points out to the reader right away that she's a foreigner because her name is distinctly Western. Mixing a Japanese first name and an English last name just looks odd if there is no reason for it other than "well it sounds cool!".

That was interesting, but can you post that in the DR1 thread instead? Or create a new thread?

Frankly it's like posting bad fan art and making fun of it. Even if you are witty with your comments, you did still post bad fan art. Actually, that not even a metaphor, since it is bad fan art. And bad fan fiction.

While a thread on mocking this fan-fiction would be entertaining, it sort of detracts from the DR2 thread.

On another note, I finally realized what the bloody tarp in the storage room was for. The killer covered himself with it when he stabbed someone under the floorboards so he wouldn't get bloody.
Another point for the floorboard theory and the cook, since he had access to both.

You don't need context to know when poo poo is poo poo, dude. I don't need to know the ins and outs of roleplay to know that, so far, Corspe Sinclair is a cringeworthy as gently caress character.

Also, that godmode bs makes the roleplay pointless since you're basically just giving your barbies to a kid you kinda know on the playground and watching them play with them while they tell you you're totally having fun right now, don't question any of this, hey you know what I'm gonna throw your barbie into the sandbox now, bye loser.

Man, you can make fun of whatever you want but it'd help if you actually showed the mockable parts first instead of posting waaaaaaaay too many words of setup first. Nothing really stood out in that post to me that was that much worse than what goon roleplayers post in the Trad Games forum.

Mocking terrible or creepy roleplaying is totally cool but if your main material is 'haha look at those nerds roleplaying' you're kinda just coming off like you found out about the internet last week.

I wouldn't be surprised if the writer of the Dead End fanfiction (because that's really what it is, isn't it? It's like the "Choose Your Own Goosebumps" series, but for fanfiction) is a member of the forum and posts on this thread. I'm half waiting for another "I used to like you slowbeef!" post.

I don't get the issue. It's now like people don't already make fun of fanfiction. Hell, there was an example of someone who pretty much wrote their own fanfiction in this very thread. If roleplay is equal to fanfiction, then roleplay should also be okay to be made fun of. There's already some terrible things in there.

And as for the Monobear thing. Hold on a minute. Why is she being knocked out in the school (and yeah, by a knife too)? I thought the whole point of those scenes were that was the point where their memories were deleted. Monobear shouldn't be there, right? Why is Monobear freely running around the school while it's open? I thought the prerequisite was that you've read both threads? Well, it'll be interesting to see just how low this goes.

e: I agree that it should probably be its own thread though. It'll be hard to follow, and readers that catch up later into the thread will find themselves puzzled by being in the middle of it. Alternatively, oren could possibly add it in the OP to make it another little side thing for the thread. That would probably resolve some issues with it.

This is basically it. I don't care about the sanctity of people pretending to be people on the internet but there's just so much poo poo to read and 90% of it isn't funny. And if the 10% that is bad enough to make fun of requires reading the other 90% for context, I'm not going to bother. I skimmed it, and it didn't look like it was bad enough for there to be enough jokes to make it worth reading.

I'm not trying to call you out. Look, really, I just want to explain that I think it's weird to say this RolePlay thing is beyond reproach or making fun of it is "mean-spirited". You make fun of Ctrl-Alt-Del in one forum, you make fun of people who act terribly politically in D&D, and I just think a fan-made Dangan Ronpa game is gonna go the same way. Truth? I was gonna sneak a joke at Fedule's expense in there.

If this is just a fun thing between friends, fine, but when you put it on the Internet, you're putting yourself out there to be made fun of. Same as orenronen when he decided to translate a video game for us. Same as anyone who does a thread here. Same as anyone who makes a YouTube video. Same as me. Sometimes, it ends up "shitai" and it deserves to be mocked.

(lol) She's best friends with Celes (they dress in lolita together, tee hee) and Leon falls in love with her (and then sayaka get jealous that hor!!!!). She eventually becomes SHSL Hope at the end of the game instead of Naegi and saves Kirigiri from Monobear. She's also part angel and has one white wing and one black wing.

Here's to those RP guys. I found a few of the designs really likable (actor, grafitti, musician).

On the same note, some of them are real cringe like the occultist and conspiracy theory guy. It also doesn't make any sense that a professional spy would act that way, and the MC's expressions are weird, and they go to far with the "eccentric" thing.

If they can produce something entertaining, then good on 'em.

I think my brain may have just conked out in the middle of parsing that because at some point during I came to the conclusion Slowbeef was organizing some kind of Dangan Ronpa RP.

I'm still not sure how that happened. :v:

No matter who's actually organising it though it sounds like a terrible idea.

Edit: Given that most of the people on Tumblr who like Dangan Ronpa are probably following this thread, what are the odds of most of them seeing Slowbeef's response?

You totally should've. I mean, think about it. What's the most common complaint about me in this thread? It's my continuing failure to realize that I frequently get so determined to add something tangible to some update or other that's directly attributable to me that I forget to think about the value of the thing I add, resulting in said things sometimes ending up jarring and seeming weird and just being distractingly there and weirding people out when they're just trying to think about a game they like. Which is exactly what these people are doing! It's all about a failure of self-awareness.

I mean, hell, the only difference between me and them is that my fuckups result in one or two badly placed commentary lines, while theirs result in... well, all this.

But "people" aren't "filling it" with RPs of bad fanfiction. There's a limit to how many available posts there are to riff on, and it's just slowbeef and VoidBurger that are doing it.
