#student notes;

There will be three kinds of MOTIVES for the killer/killed to choose from. A PERSONAL motive, a GROUP motive, or DESPAIR FEVER. I will now go over the general method in which to apply these motives to the game.

PERSONAL

Personal motives do not require any interference from mods or anyone else. Personal motives would be used if the two characters already have reason to kill each other without any external interference. 

Examples of this would be Sakura Oogami’s death (suicide to reconcile for her betrayal, no motive was used by monobear) or Nagito Komaeda’s death (assisted suicide to bring out the traitor, no motive used by monobear)

Island life will simply go on as usual until someone dies.

GROUP

Group motives are ones that will require mod assistance. If the killer/killed chosen would not act without external interference a group motive will be used. The killer must come up with something that would motivate their character into killing the victim (or just someone in general). 

If possible, it would be preferred that it be a simple, generalized reason (i.e: memory loss motive, money, etc.). 

If not, the mods will choose personalized motives (similar to how it was done in DR1, CH2) and give them out to the students. The chosen killer may disregard their given motive for whatever personal motive they would rather have.

If you are going to use a group motive, please message the mods saying either: “Group motive: ______” the blank being the generalized group motive, or “Group motive: personalized”. Once we receive this message, the mods will act accordingly to either show the group motive or send out the personal motives.

DESPAIR FEVER

I would like to state first and foremost that despair fever will only be used ONCE. Once it is used it can not be used again so I would prefer if it only be used in a very desperate situation. If the chosen killer would not act whether or not they are subjected to external motive under ANY circumstances we will use despair fever as the motive.

Please send a message saying: “Despair fever motive” if you decide to use it.

After receiving the message, Monobear will make an announcement saying Despair Fever has started. Students will then be welcome to message the mods if they want their muses to afflicted with despair fever. The person that is the killer does not need to message us, but may if they wish to. We will count the killer automatically once we receive the message.

The first choosing of the killer/killed will take place between 5~7 days from the announcement of the Start of the Game. At that point the chosen killer/killed will be messaged by The Chooser of their positions.

The following rules apply to the rolling:

Every rolling will be completely random

A character can not be chosen as a killer/killed if they were the killer/killed for the corresponding Chapter’s deaths in the official game

i.e: If we’re rolling for the first murder, neither Teruteru or Togami can we chosen for the roles, for the next murder neither Peko or Koizumi can be chosen, etc.

Each student will have one chance to refuse being killed OR killer, but you will only get ONE chance so try not to waste it first round.

Once the killer/killed has been selected, the two of them will decide the MOTIVE as well as the METHOD OF DEATH. Once those are established they will decide several clues to be left behind for the rest of the students; there must be at least THREE. 

There will be a person in charge of making the MONOBEAR FILE with the important info and all the information must be relayed to them.

I’d like to remind everyone that we are not real detectives or game writers, so try not to make the deaths too complicated as we will only have a day to solve each case.

After those things, The Chooser will select one person to FIND THE BODY, that person will be given the name of the killed and they will receive the information about the STATE OF THE CRIME SCENE as well as receive any CLUES that will be used in the trial.

They will then make a short rp post of their character finding the body. Please let a Moderator know (and wait for a response) before you post this, as we will likely have to make a body announcement shortly after. Once two more people respond to the initial body-finding post the BODY ANNOUNCEMENT will be made and the "INVESTIGATION” will start.

Truthfully, as all of the clues are already given to the first person, there is no need for a real “investigation” but, as I’m sure most will want to have the characters look around the scene, we will have a few hours for it before the trial begins. The finder may at this point also decide if they want to SHARE any of the clues with other students. The killer/killed may also now decide to give CLUES to a specific character if they wish to do so and inform them of it. (i.e: the ____ clue was hidden in a place where only _____ character would look, etc.).

A few hours (or next day) after a murder, the TRIAL will begin. As of now, the trials will be held on chatsy. If anyone has a better suggestion for a place, please let us know. Trials dates and times will be planned in advance in hopes that the majority of the students will be able to attend.

Trials will be held in a PART 1 and PART 2. They will be held on the same day, though ample space will be given between each in hopes that everyone will be able to participate in at least one part. Keep in mind that the killer must attend PART 2 for their execution. 

If you are the killer and, during the planning of the trial times, it seems like we are planning the second part at a time you will be unavailable, please let one of the mods know.

After a trial is completed, it will be announced as to whether or not the killer was found. If the killer is successfully identified they will be declared GUILTY and their EXCECUTION will be revealed. 

If the killer is not identified, it will be considered a GAME OVER and the events of the chapter will be reset back to the choosing of the killer/killed.
