Thatā€™s why they are so obsessed with the old Danganronpa miscs
Those games are free action games but they are narrowly constrained within a ruleset
The game is imbalanced in that itā€™s nearly impossible for killers to win, but people think that they are smart cookies for figuring out how to do simple triangulation

You feel special because you have an ability set unique to you
Your own history
and you can decide what win condition you want to pursue

In reality, the Danganronpa miscs were some of the worst designed and worst implemented stuff piles in the history of the site
A truly terrible setup that was fundamentally broken
But it was hard to peel away all the lies and half-truths the concept and execution presented

This site, more than any other, falls in the face of a magician

This is why the best FoL setup is Lord of the Rings FM, a game that was just a shittily implemented stuff pile

The problems with each ā€œfixā€ to the DR killing problem:

  • Just give wacky powers - Kunaigeddon had a massive salt score
  • More reasons to lie - There is no reason to lie that can overcome the counterbalance of endangering your win condition
  • Give More Starting Items - This is the only method that works to make killing even remotely achievable but high salt score.
  • Anti-Grouping Mastermind Mechanics - This does not work. I donā€™t need to say why beyond ā€˜It requires other people to go with your plansā€™

I found this out the hard way

I have a comprehensive list of problems with Forum DR
Iā€™ve probably spent weeks of real time thinking about all this

Is death city any better

iā€™m sure thereā€™s oddly specific host ways to kill someone
but those are both uncreative and easy to figure out

Death city doesnā€™t have malleable wincons

Itā€™s more like VLDR than dangan
