[[M] Mom – Host]

GAAAH! I forgot to mention one very important little detail!!

DO NOT EDIT POSTS IN THIS THREAD!! YOU WILL DIE!!!

And that was Monokuma's beary special PSA to you all!

[[M] Harry - Dad's Dad]

Hello everyone,

Just to let you know that I will be working my royal duties for the next nine hours. A royal's work is never over, even in the face of despair.

I will be back in the evening and ready to fight the despair!

[[M] Dave – Stepdad]

Oh my, hello Celeste. I thought you were French?

Can't be, she just spoke German without surrendering.

[[M] Mike - Funny Dad]

I'm the ultimate photographer *click click*.

The special rule is interesting. I wonder what kind of crazy rules Monokuma will come up with each day!

[[M] Dee]

I vonder vhat the Special Rules will do in this game. Vho has yet to post in the thread?

[[M] Joe - Army Dad]

Hello, everybody. Anyone fancy one of my protein bars? I've got some protein coffee as well, if you'd to try it. Great to drink before a tough workout!

[[M] Mom – Host]

NO ONE GETS TO EAT UNTIL SOMEONE GETS LYNCHED!!!

[[M] Joe - Army Dad]

Threaten me or my friends again, bear. See what happens.

[[M] Mom – Host]

Puhuhuhu! Someone's forgetting her place!

[[M] Joe - Army Dad]

Hey, if you think you can take me, bring it on. I don't fancy your chances with those tiny little T-Rec arms, though. Do you even lift, bear?

[[M] Harry - Dad's Dad]

I'm back from my Princessly duties. There's only so many babies to kiss in the world! I am surprised that this game is moving at a rather sedentary pace. To my knowledge, Leon Kuwata and Teruteru Hanamura have not arrived into class this morning.

Maybe these guys are sick!

[[M] Al - Biker Dad]

The absence of Leon and Teruteru is... concerning, I admit. But we shouldn't worry yet.

[[M] Harry - Dad's Dad]

It is worth keeping in the back of one's mind, but I agree. It is still the first half of the trial. Maybe they forgot to set their alarm! I mean it is so easy for me, I have my manservant Jeeves bring me a moist towelette and an ounce of caviar each morning at 6:00 sharp. Imagine not having that cool refreshing dab of water to wake you up. Or a manservant.

More concerning for me personally are the people present who are not saying very much. We need a topic to centre discussion around and observe what happens. I wonder what that topic might be...

... what are everyone's thoughts on no lynching?

[[M] Joe - Army Dad]

Meh. It might be worthwhile to no lynch first day if there are no good lynch candidates. Too early to say.

[[M] Harry - Dad's Dad]

To answer my own question (how terribly impolite of me!):

I am personally in favour of no-lynching provided that at the end of discussion this class trial, no suspects arise, though hopefully through able discussion that likelihood shouldn't arise. How I see it, there should be no hard-and-fast rule on whether no lynch is beneficial or not. It simply varies trial by trial, semester by semester.

I will say no lynching is not as beneficial here as in smaller class sizes, because one mis-execution in a small class size can drastically affect the school's survival, while in a larger class size such as in this case, an accidental mis-executions (which should be avoided, of course) is not the game-ender it might be.

Of course, what will help avoid mis-executions is by people talking about the class trial and the students within it.
