EoFF XXVII Discussion Thread - Strengthen Those Social Links

[Formalhaut]

Here, players and spectators can casually chat and react to the game.

I will ask if you're actively playing the game to not use this thread as a proxy for communication. Reactions, light discussion about game theory and 'oh snap' commentary is fine! Don't reveal your identity or anything game-breaking.

And obviously: in the discussion thread, use your own accounts. Mafia accounts are for the game thread only!

Just going to say now, I'm excited to see how this plays out.

[Freya]

I have no idea who any of these people are or what this theme is. Someone educate me. I think the dog is cute? Is the dog important in this series?

[Karifean]

I haven't played the game yet, but I recognize this theme as Persona 3.

[Formalhaut]

It's Persona 3 themed. When Qwerty was around, his role PMs actually had 'role-play' notes attached that helped people understand who they were.

I was kinda rushing the PMs to get the game started, so I had to omit them. If you're interested in who your character is and their personality, just Mognet me, and I'll provide a brief summary.

As for the overall:

Persona 3 follows a group of high school students trying to cope with, understand and accept death in a world surrounded by it, as well as find their own reasons for living. They form a group called SEES in order to investigate the Dark Hour, a mysterious time period between one day and the next that few people are aware of. During the Dark Hour, SEES explores Tartarus, a large tower containing Shadows, creatures that feed on the minds of humans. To fight the Shadows, each member of SEES is able to summon a Persona, a manifestation of their inner self.

I may google my character to role play them slightly. However that whole series is on my to play list. I'm excited to get this started!

[Slothy]

Do you even gam Freya?

[Freya]

I have never played the persona series!

[Slothy]

Then the answer is no until you do!

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

I have never played the persona series!

I thought we were friends...

[Karifean]

As a Touhou fan, hearing "Yukari" say "I'll show you my true power" is smurfing scary.

[Scruffington]

Tfw I've only played Persona 4.

[Formalhaut]

Glad people are having fun.

Oh, if you guys have any feedback about the 'Day Zero' thing I'm trying out, I'd love to hear it. Qwerty suggested it in planning and I thought it sounded like an good idea, but if you have any feedback about it, I'd be happy to listen.

That goes for the entire thing, actually. Never hosted a Mafia game before, so if there's any improvements you can see, please suggest them to me!

[Freya]

I think it's fine! Gives people time to check in and not miss anything

[Karifean]

Oh god. I'll have to prevent myself from being biased by voice act-Midorikawa has the best voice of any seiyuu of all time.

[Formalhaut]

I went to bed wondering how long it would take for one more player to check in.

Clearly, a long time.

Oh well, it gives the game suspence: I'm genuinely intrigued as to what Akihiko is thinking.
