In other KY routes our sidekick wasn't even EVER in danger (well, not really, once we got a mass murder bad end).


This time we lost Lilly without even being able to avoid it?
And if I remember correctly when you talk about poison we had to be full dere to do it once, so why the hell our opponent can ALWAYS be stronger than us in fights with more yan, being able to do full dere actions, able to ambush us... dunno how many times (and we should have an ability to lower ambush chances)?

I don't even like so much Lilly... but I'm really disappointed, sorry but I think I'm out, at least tonight if not ever.
Good luck guys & have fun

You need to gather as much evidence as you can before it gets contaminated. Your mind whirs.
Ok.
If Lilly was poisoned… you don’t see any food nearby or any crumbs on her lips. Therefore unless she decided to spend her last moment of life dabbing her lips with a napkin, it must have been through the tea.
But… Lilly prepares the tea herself. How… could that have been poisoned without her knowledge?

I'd be surprised if Lilly doesn't keep careful track of her teabags; probably brings them in herself and doesn't leave them in the tea room, perhaps. If that isn't the case I'd take the first option, but we (as Hanako) are aware that Lilly brings them into the tea room each day, the second option seems more likely.

I have my own thoughts on the concerns brought up by the other anon, but I'll save them for when Akira asks for further feedback, which I assume will be at the usual "Post-route end" thread he's done before when we talk about the route that was completed and discuss the next one.

Could just be a slow today where people are busy with other things, I suppose. I'm distraught about Lilly of course, and I understand some of the frustrations people have talked about - rather than ragequitting, though, I'd rather see this to the end and then discuss it afterwards. We've gone this far, might as well see if we can still win. Plus, we've apparently swung back to full Yan, which could be fun.

You’re not sure how that would work… but they’re they only piece of material evidence you have.
Pulse pounding, you grab a plastic bag and locate the tea bag – scooping it up, you realize it hasn’t lost all its warmth...
Lilly may have still been alive as recently as ten minutes ago.
You bite your lip.
You’ve tarried too long. Time to escape. Even if you have an alibi, you’d rather have it that no one puts motive on you when the other bodies start showing up.
Time to escape…. But how?
The hallway ‘was’ empty when you entered… but that could easily change. You could go through the window, but in the off chance that anyone does catch you, that’s almost an automatic admission of guilt.

Going through the window is waaaaaay to suspicious. If someone catches us, we're screwed. If this really is a trap by the deaf bitch, there's no way she wouldn't anticipate us going through the window.


Lilly is still our best friend, and getting caught in the hallway is less bad than getting caught sneaking out of the window. If someone is waiting in the hallway, we can still start screaming.

‘The hallway is too visible, Hanako.’ Your inner voice tells you.
You put your hand on the windowsill and slide it open.
Wait… just… ‘slide’ it?
It’s supposed to be locked. Why…
?!
Much as you would ‘badly’ like to stick around, the sound of voices through the wall compels you to make a hasty exit.
You fall a two stories and smack to the ground, but somehow you position yourself in a way so as to avoid any real damage. Between the packed ground and concrete wall… you really could have hurt yourself.
You’re out of there like a bat out of hell. As far as you can tell, no one saw you… Your gambit paid off. Now your next stop is…
Actually, there are a few place you could go…
If you’re worried about yourself, you could go back to the classroom. The time interval in which you investigated Lilly’s murder scene was short enough to be overlooked. Miki and Suzu, the school’s amateur detective duo, would jump at the chance of helping you solve this mystery. You could inform Akira, obviously… However… Akira isn’t the most stable person… if she finds out Lilly got killed while doing a favor for you… well… that could get… ‘very’ ugly.
You decide to head to…

Under different circumstances, I would have stayed away from this option. She's a wildcard, and we know how dangerous she can be. HOWEVER - Akira Trip mentioned that when we're at max Yan, we can understand Akira's speech in a way we otherwise couldn't. We're in a position to finally communicate with her on a level previously impossible. We're just as Yan as she is now, and that may give us the edge we need to convince her to help us.

Telling her the truth increases the chances of her murdering us right now before she moves on to kill Shizune. Not telling her the key detail would probably work for now, but if she discovers the truth later, it's over for us. Lying altogether would mean not telling Akira why Shizune is almost certainly to blame, though Shizune is the most likely culprit anyway.

Alright, thinking on it more, I've got a gut feeling that telling her the full truth is a bad idea. Akira would potentially be sympathetic about the truth if she *had* any sympathy left, but that's almost certainly one of the emotions she lost a long time ago.

Oh dear this one's tough.

Lilly wouldn't asociate with Deafy unless she had to, so if we lie and Kira learns that they were seen together.. she'll eventually find out.


But if Akira wants to be a hero, maybe we should let her play the part. Or maybe she resents us, and so telling her would be dumb.

Then again, Lilly is pretty much the only thing she gives a shit about... so either we're gonna become her new thing or she's gonna kill us too.

You head over to the girl’s dorms – which are predictably abuzz with grief over the loss of their idol.
Lilly’s body is carried out on a golden sarcophagus drawn by chocobos. Behind them professional mourners are shrieking and tearing their hair out. You find Miki setting off a 21-gun salute as they slide her body into a burning Viking longboat. The girls then begin conducting mass animal sacrifices. War captives sacrifices and gladiator fights are gonna be later in the evening.
“Heya there, Hanners.” Miki greets you a bit dejectedly.
Yeesh, when even Miki is depressed, you know shit’s gotten real.
“… Get Suzu.” Your eyes alight with fire. We have business to discuss.”
A time later, you, Miki, and Suzu have all convened in Suzu’s room and you’ve finished telling them your story.
“So… in other words…” Suzu rocks her head. “You’ve almost at the victory point, but you’ve gotten everyone you cared about either ostracized or killed. Yeesh. That makes you only a slightly less shitty VN protagonist than Kayto Shields.”
“I’m gonna get revenge. That counts for something… right?”
“HELLS TO THE YEAH!!!” Miki hops up and slams her nail bat into the wall. “LET’S DO THIS~! I AM AWAITED IN VALHALLA!”

I don't think we can turn the pink-haired proxy with so much Yan. We'd probably just open her throat in a fit of madness. It's probaby more of a dere thing.

A stroke of genius hits you. “Maybe… we could try to disband the Student Council?”
Both Miki and Suzu perk up. You feel a sinister kind of grin crawling across your face. “Shizune has access to parts of the building others don’t. She can move around much more easily than others. She has more resources… More intel… but all of that, all of it, is dependant on her position of the student council head!”
“We take away her title, she loses her hidy-holes.” Miki grins.
“And it might rattle her into being more careless than usual.” Suzu agrees. Then she yawns loudly. “Um… but how are we going to do that? You’re not the first person to try and have the council disbanded.”
Miki sticks her tongue out at Suzu.

Anyone whose tried to disband the council before would have already made use of technical violations and Shizune is more than wealthy enough to self fund her operations.

A technicality won't work, that's kinda the stuff that Shizune is really good at.

Tacking a crack at their funding could be interesting, but I'm pretty sure the StuCo barely gets anything in the first place...

Shizune won't make this easy, better we prepare well.


Have we actually ever tried taking a direct approach against Shizune?

Bloodlust aside, this is a Schnizel vs Lelouch kind of deal. We need to find some way to play against her expectations and have her hold the bloody knife.

Fighting Shizune head-on was how we got our first bad end in this route.

Sorry but this post sounds sounds bullshit to me.
I only dreamt your rule posts "being dere will allow you to manipulate people. And may also lead to favorable choices too"?

'Cause we took a ton of shit, and now we became an Omega-class X-Man taking awful choices.
At least if you told us from the beginning one day you'd changed the quest in a jackass-logic quest, we could have decided to play immediately as dorks.

Hey Akira, just getting in. Well then, wish we hadn't told in game Akira the whole truth, as she would have been a great ally to have cooperating with us. This will probably be the most "unsuccessful" route when we do succeed so far, but then again Hanako is probably the hardest.

>>47846139

Our dere actions at the beginning weren't a waste. We still have two allies and we still have the weapon Akira gave us for our birthday.

As for jackass-logic, the rule-of-cool route has been rather relaxed in this route compared to the others. The bullshit level for this route is way below average Akira levels.

“I… I don’t know yet.” You discard conventional openings. Shizune will almost definitely be covered on that front. “Do… you think you could go digging, Suzu?”
She nods and smacks her fist into her open palm.
Then she immediately falls onto Miki’s lap, sound asleep.
Miki shrugs. “Anyways, looks like us three are gonna be bunkin together from now on… Might wanna get some bottled water, too.”
You nod. As of right now… you think you’ll go visit Hisao before the funeral games start.
Right now the girls are sacrificing war captives taken during your last baseball match with the Little Busters. Fun as that seems, you have bigger problems.
“Hey Hanako.” You find Hisao sitting on a bench looking morose. You flop down next to him and wait for him to talk. He looks out over the funeral pyre. “You all… really have your coping strategies, don’t you?”
“For what?”
“Death.”

He looks at you as if you’d just asked permission to eat his shoe.
“Uh… Hanako… are you… ok?”
You regain yourself in an instant and look away awkwardly. “I’m sorry… just… Lilly…”
He makes a movement as if to put his arm around you but then stops halfway. “Y-yeah… I know you were close.”
You feel something snapping inside your mind. ‘Not as close as to you, Hisao, my darling, my love. One Lilly? Two? A thousand? Who cares? You’ll love meeeeeee...’
Still facing away, you smile broadly as you stare at the flames.
The rest of your night is spent in silence, with neither you nor Hisao saying anything.

To you, however…. Today feels momentous. You slide your knife into its hidden sheath in your boot and head down to the kitchen-

Then Suzu bursts through the front door, panting and sweating beads. “Hanako. I know.” She runs (in actuality more like a slow trot) up to you and grins. “I know how you can disband the council.”
You return the smile, hair hiding half of your face.
This is gonna be a good day.

WARNING: WALLPOST INCOMING

Now we finished and we can elaborate the facts, so here's my 2 cents about tonight.
I have to confess I almost was a spectator, I voted only twice.

After a slow start, I appreciated this KY route's plot. Also (maybe mostly) some crazy bad ends we got, like last week's one. I've always only been perplexed about the yan/dere meter.

But... sorry to say this Akira, Lilly's death, without having any chance to avoid it for us, is the jump of the shark.
I found it an imposed try to overload unnecessary, as it was a punishment for us, drama on the route.
And I bet a lot of people who ragequitted the thread after its beginning, has similar thoughts.

And today's thread, after the initial ragequit... only went worse. By far the worst one I ever played (started with Rin route).
Seeing this outside your point of view, who was astonished by first post (and maybe also full of expectation after last week hiatus), probably saw the entire thread as you wanted a trolling session to get a revenge on ragequitters. At least, that's what I saw as the story progressed.
The thread was obviously played, at least the first hour, only by samefags just to keep it alive, no discussion at all, people acted almost randomly at full yan and they got no bad consequences(telling akira we were the cause for Lilly's murder and having no reaction, I still kek hard), after weeks trying to understand how the yan/dere meter will work and trying to be full dere, having a lot of bad things happening to us without having the chance to avoid them... It felt like you were mocking us. Hardly.
I don't even wanna talk about Hanako gained the ability of taking any kind of direction we wanted after being full Yan, we took choices that before today should have led us to a lot of bad ends. But today... no, characters started to act crazy just because. And obviously, no one NEVER stopped us, when some threads we couldn't do anything 'cause every post someone step in our way.

cont.

>>47846872
cont.

I still wanna believe tonight session was a (bad) joke and we'll restart next week, but I know it won't happen.


You may say "that's my quest, I decided Lilly had to die and as the QuestMaster I decide it all, and you have to accept it" and continue on the way you chosen, and obviously it's your right to do this. As you hinted with
>>47846184
calling us unsuccessful people for criticize you. (as someone has to told us we're a bunch of losers. We already know it).
But meme pics asides sometimes to admit or even to consider having made a mistake is a sign of strength, not a sign of weakness.


For what KY meant to me I still wish you guys good luck for next sessions, seeing how tonight we hit the lowest number of posts and posters (and also almost no discussion, leaving angry people aside 'cause I doubt they will come back) I fear you really need it. Probably I'll be here again before the end of the route, but tonight was a stroke to my heart (ah! ah!)

May I ask you, Akira, an answer about this? If you wanna, obviously.

W-what a delusion. 'Til 2 weeks ago it was my favourite one, after today I'm almost glad this mockery will end.

>>47846839
Thanks for the game, Akira.

I hope this cliffhanger is better than the last one.

If it had been up to me, I would have revealed Lilly being dead last session, not leave it for two weeks just for us to be let down after all that tension.

I'm kind of calling into doubt how effective the Yan/Dere meter is. It seems we've hit so many road blocks trying to be Dere when going Yan would have been the easiest way to play. I don't get the feelings that the two sides are that balanced. I would have to see what kind of negative effect YAN choices inflict on us.

For spending the entire route up to this point as Dere, we lost two allies in one post. It's kind of a let down and I think it will discourage further Dere play from now on since people will feel it isn't worth the investment. In previous games, killing was not always the best way to go, but it seems to be the encouraged path now.

And now the route is more about getting revenge for Lilly than claiming Hisao for our own.

>>47846931

If we really were going to finish early... let's say before end of June, can we replay last week or this week session please?
Tonight I played and voted completely discouraged by how the things were developing. And it seems I wasn't the only one. If we are near the finish line couldn't be at least an idea to listen to the audience? You told on

>>47847003
I was going to save my feedback for later, but I suppose I might as well mention it now: I have to agree with Fluff on this. I was excited to try Full Dere, but the problem we ran into was that it felt like all of our Dere choices were more passive and involved building up ally relationships or hanging out with Hisao. I don't remember any of them being especially pro-active or allowing us to make a significant move against our enemies. Perhaps we simply played wrong, and if that's the case, so be it. It just felt difficult to make any progress before without making Yan choices. Granted, Akira Trip did mention playing a balance of Yan and Dere was also viable, but Full Dere was supposed to be as well.

I'm not so upset that I'm going to stop participating - Katawa Yandere is still a unique and enjoyable experience I can't really get anywhere else - but while I'm fine with going all-in on the Yan path we've got for the rest of the Hanako route, I'd prefer that Dere have clearer proactive choices on our next go around.

With all that said, I'm still looking forward to seeing how this ends. We can save the more in-depth discussion of how the quest mechanics worked for when it's over.

/tg/ has proven, times and times again, that we as a collective hivemind are physically incapable of consistent diplomatic approach. Not just here, I've seen that in other quests as well. I'm not if it's out social ineptness or couple trolls swaying the vote in the wrong direction at the wrong moment, but we will always go full retarded sooner rather than later.

>>47847167
Were the votes mostly going in favor of the choices you liked? At the beginning we didn't really have lots of discussions about strategy and stuff, so we didn't really have a coherent strategy.

>>47847301
So essentially, playing full YAN is the only logical choice.

>tripfag doesn't realize that it's impossible to "samefag" a lack of posts

>>47847365
I think we might be able to pull the "balanced" approach, if we really try, but full dere requires finesse we're collectively not capable of.

>>47847301
>>47847307
I'm talking less about the choices we made and more about the choices available to us. While we were going down the Dere path that we had collectively decide upon (especially after that crucial "I want to be more like Lilly" choice that we had to get a revote on), we usually had sets of options that included both Yan and Dere choices, and the Dere choices were typically "spend time with friends/allies" or "spend time with Hisao." My memory could be fuzzy, don't get me wrong, but I remember the Dere choices rarely allowing us to take any action against or towards Rin, Emi, Shizune, or Misha. Felt like we were slowly building up relationships without having the chance to actually utilize them unless one of our enemies made the first move. It was reactionary, y'know?

But, again, I might be wrong on this, and we can discuss this in more detail in the Q&A once the route is over. For now, we may as well focus on what we've got. Do I have criticisms? Sure, but that doesn't mean we can't still have fun. At the end of the day, it's just a quest game played by a bunch of anonymous nerds on 4chan; I don't think we need to take it any more seriously than that.

>>47847398
Isn't that what we were doing now, by accident?
Right now we are technically yan but we have two allies and one weapon that we got by playing dere.

>>47847398
Especially with a writer that always goes behind our backs and tries to lie about the state of the game.
Not even in character either, just trying to be antagonistic and berate the players.

KY is an fun distraction but it's just not good enough to take seriously.

Something I think I can address, however, (if for no other reason that literally said it before) is that -dere characters aren't combat specialists. Lilly, for example, automatically loses any actual 'fight' she gets into unsupported. Those Tip sections weren't just fluff-text you know...

Poisoning rivals, talking them down, or pushing them to suicide is how a -dere character is meant to be played. I even gave you good old Kohaku-san as a character reference. So... for the people saying they 'tried to play -dere'... you guys never even ATTEMPTED a social boss fight anywhere in this route. And all after poor little me when through all the trouble to write a separate combat system just for social duels. :(

I don't remember being given the chance to. We were always either spending time with allies or defending against attacks from enemies. Did we have any opportunity to talk to rivals and enemies? Rin and Emi always ambushed us and we never had a chance to talk to Shizune when we weren't vying for Hisao's attention.

Frankly, I was caught off guard by Lilly dying. I was sure she could handle herself after getting through the riot safe and sound. If Lilly was full Dere, I would have thought she would have the advantage in a verbal duel, which is what I think we were going for when she distracted Shizune.

>>47847605

Hm. Seems like the problem perhaps resulted from Dere choices leading towards social duels being too vague, our own misunderstandings and incorrect assumptions as players, or just plain old inconsistency in our group choices; probably the third possibility, as the other anon pointed out. Hard to say exactly. To be honest, if you noticed we collectively voted to go Dere but weren't really picking choices that would lead to social battles, I think it would have been fine to toss one at us directly just so we're fully aware the mechanic exists and we get comfortable with the idea that seeking out more of them is how we progress as a Dere. Kinda like forcing a player in a video game to learn a mechanic during a tutorial section, y'know? I understand if you have a design philosophy as the quest master that goes against this, though.

>>47847672
Maybe a little more transparency?

Let us know what our affection is with out allies and mark major choices As YAN or DERE so we know what we are getting into?

it's much easier to mock a retarded DM who keeps leaving himself open compared to coordinating a battle plan

>>47847756
Especially one who actually gets this defensive with the poorly compressed jpg image responses and who knows he fucked up but won't admit it.

I think our last chance for a social boss fight was when we confronted Emi and Rin.

If Akira hadn't been with us, we would have had no choice but to parlay. As it was, we did have a choice and we chose to kick ass.

>>47847731
You may want to take another look at it. It might save us a lot of confusion and make Dere a more lucrative choice if we see the results and benefits of taking that path.

Everything did seem to go downhill after that fight.

Ah, true. I think that must have been the turning point. We were *that* close to finally getting a social battle, but the thread voted to go the Yan option even though we had worked so hard to be Dere. I still can't recall any proactive Dere choices prior to that encounter, but that was definitely the moment where things fell apart.

>>47847731
>>47847856
Nah, I see what Akira Trip means. After we voted to go full Dere, if we had been given three options marked Yan, Neutral, and Dere, we just would have taken the Dere option basically every time. It would have had an effect on player psychology that I think would have been negative in the long run; the only way that would work out well is if we had *multiple* marked Dere choices and maybe one Yan choice. That way we could still swing back down the YanDere meter at any time, but we could have debated on exactly *how* to proceed as a Dere. If Akira Trip could provide multiple marked choices of the same type fairly often, though, it could work; it just might require more work on his part, and I'm not sure how strenuous that would be.

Like when we were full Dere, we found Misha alone, and we had 2 choices like
[] Kill Misha.
[] Escape

The fuck, Derest choices ever!

One who posts irrelevant comics (I know they're not really comics) that look like they came straight from zenpencils and tries to deflect all criticism of his attitude towards the game and players as "u mad".
Hanako's route got dropped earlier and now it's getting shat on by a DM being a child who thinks that the goal of the quest is to be as passive-aggressive as possible after an episode is over.
She will forever be the girl who got the short end of the stick.

>>47848028
Actually no, as passive-aggressive as possible during the quest too, not just after each episode.
I beg that /tg/ excuse me for forgetting about stuff like >>47846184 technically being earlier on, it's just he didn't really start deflecting hard until later.

At the end of the day, all this spazzing is happened because a vote got Lilly killed. I was on the fence about whether to overturn it through an executive decision but I decided y'all were adults. It seems I wasn't 'completely' right... though to your credit, most of you did stick through it.

And let me take this opportunity to thank you all you kept playing and didn't start screeching and hurling your shit everywhere. You guys rock. Ignore the monkeys. They'll get tired eventually.

Thanks, Akira.
I'm still pissed Lilly is dead, but I hope after the route ends I'll be able to figure out in the QnA how we screwed up and what we did to make it happen.

For now I will satisfy myself with taking my anger out on Shizune. Please make her end as brutal as it deserves to be.

>>47848120
It's true, KY won't last forever, eventually you'll get tired of throwing shit on the participants since you had a bad day and made some fuck-ups ^.^;;;

True.
But there's a difference between playing Final Fantasy 7 and see Aerith's death, and playing a FF7 version in which Aerith dies offscreen, the game ask you if you wanna quit, you answer no and the game continues with you being overpowered to kill instantly Sephiroth.

Sorry, but I prefer you listened to the players.
As you said we have a session or two, can't we erase this one? It was close a disaster.

>>47848120

This post confused me a little.
Lilly didn't even was (at least not for sure) dead last time we played, and discovering it was the first surprise of the day.
Why you tell you was thinking about overturning? It was your call to start this way.

And about tonight session we had more than one problem:
- Lilly's death (maybe it was unbearable for someone, but not for everyone)
- How Lilly died. During last session, but we didn't knew it (for sure) 'til today, and she died when we didn't have the chance to help her.
- The Yan/Dere meter. A long-term issue, but today it exploded. We are talking now about how probably during the whole quest try to keep full Dere wasn't the most profitable choice, and we always were trying to play full dere or balanced without really gaining advantageous choices. But today going full Yan gave us what we were searching for months (like manipulating the StuCo) plus immunity by events that made us die in the past, so some players felt cheated by being told playing Yan was a choice exactly like balanced or Dere.
That's a trust issue... a thing that can happen on a rpg, but a thing that has to be solved, not ignored.
Can't you at least try to make a poll to know if today's session has to be re-done? Or about how to solve the Yan-Dere issues? You said in the end of the day we have almost finished Hanako quest, I doubt replaying a session would be a greater trouble than continue ignoring today's problems.


Trust me, not only the ones who cringed a lot today 'cause waifu death had a bad session of play. Look at how partecipation and discussion were almost null during the session. I'm talking about the global perspective of the route.

>Lilly didn't even was (at least not for sure) dead last time we played
She was dead at the end of the previous thread, genius.

Thanks for the thread as always, Akira.

It seems we all lost our temper yesterday.
Players have been immediately too aggressive and provoking during the session, and it got worse in the end and after it (not only the insulting one), and Akira should have called a day instead of threatening a poll to forfeit the route to force players to continue in a story that was disappointing them.


Shit happens when you party naked, not such a problem, but it's not too late for both parts to take a step back and reach an agreement.
I agree with anons saying it's probably better to cancel this session and doing it again, it's really a shame seeing another time the Hanako curse hitting someone around beginning of the act 4 and leading to a hurried ending.

>>47851844
I think the reason for the week delay was probably OP getting kicked in the head by a giraffe, he started referencing things that don't exist as evidence of him doing a good job.
Succumbing to hubris is one thing, but he actually tried to make examples of things that aren't real (they don't exist) when trying to diminish the dissatisfaction people were feeling with this session/the connection to last session. He tried to cry samefag and listed traits that aren't in any of the posts in this thread, and then pointed to a poll that's also not in this thread.

I think that unless he can explain this, KY needs to take another break for a few months while he gets fixed up. Not just stopping the Hanako route, what I mean is stopping entirely and putting it on hiatus, to be resumed or rebooted when he's better. What I'm seeing is some problems that will last longer than just this session.

>>47852042

I agree with you about having a nightmarish session, and abput Akira refusing to see how many people were unsatisfied.


But please, stop bullshit like
> he need to be fixed
you already told us a lot of times, it's poor insulting and we could never try to seriously talk starting with this behaviour.

For Akira: please, really, please. Come back on this thread to discuss at least the chance to make a poll about keeping or erasing yesterday's session.
As
>>47851844
said, we all lost our temper yesterday, shit happens, but it would be fair to confront us now, being more calm.

>>47847496
> you guys never even ATTEMPTED a social boss fight

> Poisoning rivals, talking them down, or pushing them
> to suicide is how a -dere character is meant to be played

Sorry Akira but... when we even had a chance to do it?
I count 0 of them during all the route.
While when we tried to pursue any kind of target, mainly having time with Hisao after ShizunexHisao Bad End, we had 2 entire sessions with EVERYONE in Yamaku crossing our steps to avoid we were with him. And a lot of choices without a chance to go away with Hisao, but things like "Do you wanna stay with Miki only or pick on the bandwagon also Suzu?"

I'm really sorry to say that, but the aftermath of this session was really disappointing.
Someone already had doubts about the Yan/Dere meter, and you told us more than once being full Dere will unlock us choices like poisoning opponents. It's a shame we never saw that choice, but our best friend WAS poisoned by someone who was full YAN and full DERE I suppose, 'cause she is stronger than us in fights, she poisons people, she manipulates people and has entire threads with Hisao while we have to avoid disasters, and so on.

Maybe if no one of us understood how things worked, and we never had benefits by our choices for 14 session, there were also faults in explanations, it's not only a "you guys never tried".

>>47848120
> because a vote got Lilly killed

Please, at least for once, answer here, not waiting then end of the route.
How could we had avoided this? I don't remember any choice, last week, that may lead to saving Lilly.

And for a such big impact on the game (losing Lilly, our alliance with Akira we worked on for 14 episodes) it should have been more clear.
Or at least, don't tell us "I thought about revoking it, but I didn't do it for the lulz"

Hi all folks, it's
>>47843214 here.
Yes, yesterday I ragequitted.
Seeing how thread went, maybe I made the right choice for me.
I know Akira's policy is to disconnect from Katawa Yandere between one session and another... but I really wish he could be here now.

Akira, sorry to say it, but you heavily deluded me.
This thread and your posts after it, put a big stain on the past sessions 'til now.
You killed Lilly OFFSCREEN (and got us cliffhanged for 2 weeks for a thing that already happened). Our best friend, our only resource before we found Hisao.
I cringed hard, I admit it, but I surely wasn't the only one disappointed.
You had 6 votes for the first choice.
6 votes for the second choice. And after 1 vote in 10 minutes, you said you were ready to abort the whole route.
8 votes on 3rd choice.
8 votes on 4th choice.
9 votes on 5th choice.
At this point we took 2 choices that would have costed us an horrible BAD END in other sessions, and we burned almost EVERYTHING we did in the whole route. Akira, Lilly... we had only 2 side characters, Suzu and Miki.
Thread was a little revived, for the next choices we had about 10 voters each.
And we embraced the Yan. Learning it was useful to plan to do also what we NEVER found, planning against our opponents, for the whole session.

Then (after the shortest ever in-game thread) started the afterthread. In which we learned than

>>47847496
It's our fault we never attempted social fights. 'Cause they never existed, at least in the choices we had.

>>47847672
> I want y'all to succeed
And it's clearly not what happened. We rushed around for entire threads with our opponents overpowered, being able to outyan us, outdere us, doing all the awesome things we never had the chance to choose. It wasn't a bad thing, as I said once in the end of a previous thread Shizune was a great opponent. But letting her killing Lilly without being able to oppose ourselves, also with a BAD END result, means ruining the whole plot.

The worst lie of them all.
You constantly give us false tips (like the chance to poison our opponents. That obviously we never saw because we never tried a non-existant verbal boss fight, and instead we took one against our closest ally).
Before the fight with Rin and Emi, you also remake the vote.
And from tonight to the end of the route, you'll push us to pick Yan choice. Obviously, with full Yan we'll be able to play Yan choices, Dere choices, and balanced choices. When we were balanced or full dere, we could only fool around to do nothing.
Well, not really nothing. We could build an alliance we saw shattered basically partly OFFSCREEN, partly after you blackmailed us with the "no more Hanako route if you won't play tonight".


>>47848120

This is a thing you told us to play the brilliant one, or to mock us, dunno really.
Seeing how thread was almost dead for the first half, and how many people had something to criticize during and after, maybe this was the right choice.
As you said
>>47846931
We're on closing time (obviously you told it after the thread, and after threathen to stop all the route), it's not too late to re-think on how reset this awful session.

Last but not least:
>>47847605
> you seem to be taking this unbelievably seriously. ^.^;;;

Not him, but speaking for myself... yes.
I cared a lot about this KY. I suppose I'm not the only one, and I also suppose I won't be the only one who'll go away (we already saw this a little during this thread votations).
Sorry if in one single thread, I learned
- We were fooled by you about the gamestyle. More than once. Or the only way to play with ease was being yan (and you lied us), or you wanna close in a hurry the route (you mocked us "I could have revived Lilly but no", you threatened to stop the route, you launched the bait about being at the end).
- We got your blame for criticize (and you're right about insult-kun), for not having picked what you couldn't have seen, for seeing hallucinations about people who's abandoning the thread. Well, surely during the thread there were hostile players, but you never made an autocritic. Things that "successful people", as you labeled yourself, usually do.
- We had lost our time for entire hours, and days waiting for a KY then delayed, for... finishing with the plot you planned and we couldn't escape.
With us forced to see Lilly's death, Akira's gone away, and a lot of subplots like the teaset... well, placed under our nose only to see them vanish in the rain.
I suppose the end will be something like alternate Neutral End from Rin's previous route.
Such a shame it didn't happened on Lilly's or Rin's route. It's always Hanako to suffer bittersweet ends, or rushed closing stories. Really unlucky lady.

I cried when before I read the thread. And they were rage, frustration tears. Not the ones you would cause, I hope. (as I said, Lilly's death were unbearable. Only anticlimatic as fuck and forced to "guide" us where you want).
Probably you won't read my outburst, or you'll do it in a far future thinking: "what a emotional faggot, lucky me to avoid he continue to play".
Probably you'll be right.

cont.

cont.

But that's what we, little emotional faggots unsuccessful people do.
We rely on other people. We have feelings, dreams, enthusiastic reaction and affection on what other people do for/with us.

And when we discover, for the n-th time, we were only pawns, our dreams & expectations are shattered because... well, we didn't even have the right to know it (unless we'll wait an undefinite amount of time hoping to don't miss the Q&A session), we go broken.


So Akira, I know there a low probability you read this, or maybe even you care about my request.

But I beg you, for once, to rethink what you did last session.
I hope it's not a matter of time (we lost some weeks here and there), please consider our requests.

Otherwise you'll arrive where you wanted to. You'll receive praise by whom appreciated your choices, you'll be able to start another route or maybe you'll quit writing for us, so yandere about Katawa Yandere... but you'll lose a supporter (I suppose more than one, but let's say only me). Not sure about this will impact you, maybe zero, but it wouldn't be the same for me.

THE END.

Now people if you wanna, you can start jocking on the little pussy who cried salty tears only fearing KY going to a bitter end.

Akira, you fraud.

I don't think Akira gives a shit about the quest's quality, and just wants to be wacky and randumb

>>47858694

Once it wasn't this way. Or at least, there were no deceit.
But for no reason we are worth to know, he decided this quest has to finish quickly, and to finish badly, throwing away all the good job he did 'til last threads.
On the Steam group he announced he'll publish a rule guide.
Really useful now after the mess in this thread, and 1-2 sessions from the end.


About the reason he decided to suddenly close all... I start thinking he hates Hanako as Suriko did.
Think about it:
- in Lilly's route we never knew what Hanako did in the epilogue, as she didn't even existed.
- In Rin's route Hanako was the only major character to die.
- In Hanako's route first try, he clearly bored himself and he disappeared before finishing.
- In this try after a good beginning (story and pace), he started jumping some weeks, probably 'cause of boredom, and analyzing last 2-3 threads he costantly manipulated us to let happen everything went wrong to led us to yesterday thread, and throwing us Juggernaut-Yandere-Hanako to gain some fondness to finish as soon as he can the route.

>>47858694
Thats because Akira is very clearly Suriko
