I guess so? But you're going to need to tell us much more than "interesting roleplay" :P

Do the words Dangan Ronpa mean anything to you? :P

I'm reviving an old rp from this site on a site that I originally began forum rp on.

[Cuco]

I'm down for some more Dangan Ronpa.

But why go back to this other site just to make this RP?

I should of been a bit more clear on what I meant xD

I'm recreating a roleplay that I originally started on this site on another forum that is mainly dedicated to the game Terraria. They thankfully have forum for roleplay there.

Also, theres an off chance that I may of infected some of the people I've roleplayed with with DRAitis. Puds, remember how most of the people joked around with DR:Abridged in In Despair, We Trust, right?

[Cuco]

No, I understood that much. My question was why? Do you think the Terraria forum will have more to offer? Or do you just not want to try it again on RPG?

I just feel like introducing it somewhere else... Also, I would say the terraria forums would offer as much, because usually the roleplays around there have people that range from Casual to Free so it really doesn't offer more or less (however, its more of a Terraria hub rather than role-playing hub).

Also, getting back on those forums after some time prompt me to try and restart it again there, except in seasons. But in a nutshell, the latter was right to a degree... The other forums is partially why I went missing for a few days due to me roleplay I over there. Other reason is real life.

Mmm.... I'm always keen for Rumpus.

Aslong as you don't use the same idea as last time .-.

Don't worry... Hostages come later in the roleplay :P

I may need a tiny bit of help coming up with better motives.

[Pudding]

Nooooo hostages.
Its really not creative.

You gotta be sneaky, you can use the lost memories to your advantage. Like I plan to do in mine.
Make up some conflicts. Recylce some of the DR motives ._.

[Cuco]

The original DR motives were only good in context. The writers planned for certain people to end up in specific situations and had motivations that gelled with them. Unless Savo heavily railroads people, he can't plan for one motive to lead to something specific. Without someone specific to target, the motivations will be meaningless, as they would've been in DR if there hadn't always been someone that would end up acting on them.

I say just wait for the characters to be assembled, and look for sore points in the group. People will appreciate it more when the motivations might actually mean something to them. And something more than some generic relative the player didn't even mention in their backstory, naturally XD

im so lost with the RP right now... i'll just make it Matt was working suddenly for the first 2 afternoons

[Haru Nyan]

I FUCKING HEARD THERE WAS DANGANING OF RAMPAS.
IS THERE GOING TO BE AN RP ABOUT IT? THEN FUCKING SIGN ME UP BABY

[Sen]

Dangit Ronpaul is apparently popular with the members of Persona: The True Self. As much as I love the concept of DR, I'm afraid I'm not willing to go to a different forum for it.

[Haru Nyan]

*Ahem*
Lost myself for a bit though, although I will say I am hella pumped to Dingle Rumpus...
Moving to a different forum is a bit, "Ehhh..." for me. That doesn't mean I won't join though.

I feel the same.
Regardless, I'm still making a character, whether or not I actually participate. Creating up new identities and characters is fun xD

Anyway
> Regarding the Idol club

I'm not going to reschedule the meeting, I'll just reference it. I'm planing a little motivational speech, nothing too serious. That way we won't have another Drama Club incident :p
The speech may help amp up the listeners spirits.

[SwordfishKnight]

I've never heard of Damned Rodeo. What is it?

[Pudding]

Uuuuh.

How to explain, without spoiling...

EDIT:
In a nutshell.

15 kids > Hopes Peak Academy > Pass out upon entering
Upupu bear > dispair dispair > trapped inside the school > Kill and don't get found out during the class trial > punishment for murderer > sadness > plotwist > Dangan rumpus 2

Double edit:

Its basically a game of Ace attorney except a bit more execiting.
Theres' a prestgious school dubbed "Hopes Peak Academy" it accepts only the most elite students. The Ultimates. (Or Super High School Level Talented, if you like typing that)
Example: Ultimate Programmer, Ultimate Fighter, Ultimate Pop Sensation.

It is said once you graduate, you basically have a one way ticket to success and prosperity wherever you go.
You play as a boy, Makoto Naegi. An average boy with no ultimate title. Until he gets selected in the annual school lottery for average people attendants. He is then dubbed the 'Ultimate Lucky Student'
Upon entering the halls of hopes peak, he faints. He wakes up with a group of 14 other students all ultimate titles.

They are sealed in the school as there are no exits. There is a monochrome bear named 'Monokuma'. He wants to spread dispair, he informs them that if they wish to escape, they must murder one of their classmates and undergo a class trial where they must not be caught. They will then 'graduate' from the school and be free to leave. The only issue is that if they are not found out in the CT, all the other students are executed/punished. If they are caught, the murder is the only one murdered. And thus the mutal killing life continues.

[SwordfishKnight]

Ahhh okay. Sounds rather interesting.

The hostages is going to be later for specific reasons... Mainly to frame one of my characters for murder. Theres a lot of twists I'm going to create that are caused by the unknown factors within my backstory.

In a nutshell, its like the fifth trial, except he won't participate in the sixth trial. I also might increase the student body from 16 to 20.

Theres a newbie roleplayer, and some other good roleplayers. Also, it needs to be able to target most of the student body to apply suspicion on everyone, not just one person imo. I will recycle a few used motives like the blackmail, but that will be later on. Also, might reuse Eien in that roleplay.

[Kissu]

Woo! Savo posted!

I'll wrap up the Drama Club when I get home. Too busy being vomited on in work and missing the carefree days of uni at the moment.

I'm already involved in Pudding's DR RP so I'm good for Dingoes Romping right now.

[XLegs]

Finally posted. Also, here's another awesome persona by Sho.
