IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT
Or at least, the end of Round 2. It's been a wild ride, but now that we're about two weeks out from the end of the round it's time to lay out just how endgame is going to roll.
Note: this is just about scheduling, we will not be answering any questions about plot details.
DANGAN ROLEPLAY ROUND 2 ENDGAME SCHEDULE
7/25-26: This will be the final player-plotted investigation/trial of the round.
7/27: The Monomono Machine will be cleared out and closed up for the round. Hoard up on your useless junk before endgame. Additionally, no AC post will be made for the last week of the game.
7/28: Endgame officially begins.
7/31-8/1: The Final Investigation log goes up. You will have through Friday the first to investigate, but as a reward if you manage to gather all the evidence on Thursday we will move the final trial up to Friday instead of Saturday.
8/1-2: Depending on the speed of the investigation, the Final Trial log will be posted on one of these two days. You'll know by Thursday the 31st whether it'll be Friday or Saturday.
8/5: By August 5, all of the plot threads for Dangan Roleplay will be wrapped up, and you guys will get the ending that you earn. Rather than strictly regiment everything that's happening between 8/2 and 8/5, the survivors will have objectives that need to be met. Think of it like a Kickstarter - all you need to do to win is meet the bare minimum by the deadline (don't worry, you'll know what the objectives are both ICly and OOCly). But if you meet them ahead of the deadline, and/or go above and beyond expectations, we have bonus plot "stretch goals" that we have ready to pull out so that there's no dead time.
8/6: If you pull out a good end by the deadline, then the final victory log will go up on Wednesday, August 6. This will be a log for you to wind down with and backtag at your leisure to get out all that hype that you've been bleeding for the last 9 days.
Da Rules
Because it's endgame, we're tightening down a lot on the rules and implementing a couple new things that are different from how we've run things both in this round and the last. All of the rules on the rules post still apply unless directly contradicted by this post. This means you still have to watch your conduct, play nice with each other, and stay IC.
1) The Final Investigation/Trial will require 100% participation. Additionally, we're upping the participation requirement - in order to meet the OOC requirements for completion, each character must make at least 15 comments in both the Investigation and the Trial. This means that your final requirements will be 30 comments per character. If you're going to be completely absent for any of the dates listed above, tell us now and we will work with you. We're strict, not cruel. If you don't keep us filled in on what's going on, we will consider you in breach of the 100% participation rule, and the class as a whole will be locked into a bad ending.
1-a) While the OOC requirements are mandatory in order to qualify for a good ending, meeting the OOC requirements alone is not enough to guarantee a good ending. If you meet the OOC requirements without completing the IC objectives, we will give everyone a bad ending. Likewise, 100% completion of the IC objectives is meaningless without 100% participation. Work together and give 200% to beat the twisted evil things!!
2) For both the last trial and the final investigation/graduation exam, there will be no saves, strikes, or failsafes. A bad ending is entirely possible, and if you get one, that's it, game over. You'll have plenty of time to beat the twisted evil things if you work together, so this isn't "mods vs. players," but the stakes are much higher this round than they were last round. You get out of endgame what you put into it, and we fully expect you to earn your happy ending.
Lastly, we want to say thank you all for making this round as awesome as it has been. Dangan Roleplay is only as great as its players, and we hope you've had half as much fun as we have. Stay safe, have fun, and let's make endgame the best we can make it!
