THANK YOU, QUESTIONS, AND ANYTHING GOES

1) As always, THANKS FOR PLAYING ♥ It was a bit derpy and silly and really just an excuse to hang out but we had a lot of fun and hope you did too. You guys are always amazing ♥

Thank you again CROW for doing Lucia's new blonde icons! You are always awesommme.

2) Now, the purpose of the post! ANYTHING GOES. We invite questions and discussions of absolutely anything (although we reserve the right to :) over anything relevant to future games). And ANYTHING ELSE. Self-indulgences, memes, drabbles, art, facebook statuses, anythiiiing. If you want to know the usual sort of thing, our last ones were here, here, and here!

3)You can always keep threading in endgame and epilogue as long as you want; I have the posts tagged and when notifs stop rolling in I will start to shift us over to dreamwidth. As we mentioned before we will let you guys know when we do so you can all stalkerpin that journal.

THAT SAID, the current minimalist layout cuts all posts off visibly at 500 comments... you can keep threading but you can't scroll down past that. It is also the only layout that mimics the old LJ one. Our options are to switch to a layout that doesn't or ....do that temporarily and make some kind of directory in each post to all the comments, if you want to backread anything. Or just wait until we're over at DW to backread... Let us know your preferences on how to handle this stupid, stupid conundrum.

Also Zazzle and Haru stay in #deadgaysatanists all the time, so feel free to join us and just hang out for occasional "oh man this song reminds me of tristan's face" or whatever.

4) Please make sure you have this journal on stalkerpin, or, if you don't want to, give us your plurk name to put you on the demonverse clique, as we aren't really doing announcements of new games, fun things, etc, outside those two places. Thanks!

I had so much fun following this game, thank you everyone! ♥

As for the layout, this was linked (http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/25451.html) on another community I follow - maybe it'll work?

I AM THINKING OF 10 CHARACTERS TO WHOM I AM ASSIGNING NUMBERS.

Give me situations with numbers, ex, "8 takes 2 out to pick up prostitutes. How does that go for them?" etc.

I will answer tomorrow evening after we have a bunch in :3

4 and 3 go out to lunch. How does it go? What do they get? Who gets stuck with the bill?

8, 6, 1, 9 have to play a boardgame. What game and WHO WINS?

2 and 7 are baking a cake for 5, do food-poisoning and/or kitchen fires result.

Madison and Kieran go out to lunch! This is a fairly regular occurrence and they probably get fast food. Kieran pays because, uh, employed 19-year-old vs 13-year-old in high school, jeez. They talk casually about things except for Madison creeping out at some point but what can you do

Kit, Cherry Laurel, Zoey, and Elluka have to play a board game. Oh god. I'm going to say that they play Monopoly. Cherry Laurel is the boot. Kit is the banker. Zoey talks the entire time. Elluka wins, because Luka :) takes games seriously :)

Lucia and Tristan are baking a cake for David. AN ENTIRELY PLAUSIBLE SITUATION TBH. Although for god's sake don't trust Lucia with your food, she's a Bellcourt, you can definitely trust Tristan with your food because yum. Lucia probably ends up just helping out ...but pretending she does more...

Bastien has to play fuck, marry, kill, for Cherry Laurel, Elluka, and Lucia. What are his choices?

Last night when we first got this Zazzle and I discussed it and just kept making the dame!! arm cross at each other.

Assuming Bastien could not weasel out of this by sacrificing someone else in his place, fuck Lucia, marry Elluka, and kill Cherry Laurel.

Just don't call him 'grandpa' as it happens, Lucia.

SHOUNEN TOURNAMENT ARC!!!!1!!1 I randomized the numbers.

So, for some reason there is a single-elimination tournament going on, which 9 is in charge of. What kind of tournament is it and why are they doing it??

Meanwhile, the matchups are AS FOLLOWS.
4 vs. 3
1 vs. 5
7 vs. 6
2 vs. 10

How do the matches go? Who is the ULTIMATE VICTOR?

8 is elected the MC. Are they any good at it? What kind of commentary do they offer?
harukami: (iyaa Tristan so incubusy)

[personal profile] harukami 2011-12-25 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
SHOUNEN TOURNAMENT:

Organizer: Elluka
MC: Kit

Quarter-final bracket:
Madison vs Kieran
Zoey vs David
Tristan vs Cherry Laurel
Lucia vs Bastien

So Elluka somehow gets vast demonic powers, idk how, and Luka decides he needs a power boost by making everyone play a bloodsports game, as he is wont to do. So they hold a tournament for this and once more con/golem Kit into being their assistant/MC.

The quarterfinal brackets are the four rounds listed above.

In the Maddy vs Kieran match, it comes down to a physical fight, because Maddy's psychic skills are all just foresight, and Kieran has no supernatural powers. Kieran works out basically every day and keeps up on his sports when he can, and Maddy is a scrawny, terrified child who gets into the match, freaks out over a friend coming at him, and flings himself into the audience.
Victor: Kieran

In the Zoey vs David match, we see a bit less of a fuckup than the previous match! Sure, David wheels himself out there and all, and Zoey complains about having just done her nails, but the next thing you know shadows and teeth and claws and tentacles are lashing everywhere, and Zoey, being a Chevalier of Hell, is no pushover either. Unfortunately, David's still learning the ropes as some strange shadow monster, and Zoey has a lot, lot more experience in being brutal than he does, so Zoey takes him down.
Victor: Zoey

Tristan vs Cherry Laurel is just MEAN. That poor snake is down and out before it even has a chance to fight. Fighting is really not its area of specialty and Tristan is an old and experienced guy, even if Cherry is basically immune to Tristan's main area of expertise.
Victor: Tristan.

Lucia vs Bastien, which has occurred once already! Lucia has the 'living witch controlling a bunch of demons' advantage, and Bastien has the 'experienced warlock who spent hundreds of years being an undead powerful bastard' advantage. A surprisingly even match, but Bastien gets the edge by dragging Shuri off the sidelines and threatening his life, calling it "fair play (Sorry Shuri, nothing personal)".
Victor: Bastien.

Let me randomize from the victors to see who ends up in the semifinals... ok I wrote this down on pieces of paper and turned them upside down and made Zazzle draw!
Bastien vs Kieran
Zoey vs Tristan

In the Bastien vs Kieran match, poor Kieran gets his ass handed to him seven ways from sunday. Let's face it, there's no way he was getting past semifinals and the only way he was getting past quarterfinals is because he was matched up against Maddy.
Victor: Bastien

In the Zoey vs Tristan match, now HERE is something to watch! Both are Chevaliers; however, Tristan is much more physical than Zoey (both physically and in terms of being a heavy-hitter); it isn't Zoey's area of expertise, and while the battle is vicious and one heck of a crowd-pleaser, in the end it's Tristan licking blood off his knuckles.
Victor: Tristan

SO FOR THE FINALS it's Bastien vs Tristan! Fuck this is a sexy matchup. They spend a while admiring how sexy this match-up is, in fact. But incubi and succubi are actually pretty resistant to bindings and other things than other demons because they're able to create real flesh in the physical world that they can adjust under their control, etc. And Bastien is, very much, a powerful sorcerer, but one who is past his prime and in actual combat, taking on a demon like Tristan is, well...
Victor: Tristan.

SO THE ULTIMATE WINNER IS TRISTAN. Now go lick the sweat from his pecs.

Kit's commentary is terrible. I don't even. "Oh dear. That looked like it hurt quite a bit. Ah -- it seems that Miss Zoey is, ah, penetrating Master David with her fingernails -- please, assure me we have a doctor on call..."

5 & 3 are watching television. Do they agree on a show or fight over the remote, are they both courteous TV watchers or does one of them talk over everything, and what do they end up watching?
harukami: (thinking dirty thoughts)

[personal profile] harukami 2011-12-25 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
David and Kieran are watching TV! It is probably really casual TV watching; both ask if the other minds whatever they settle on, and both hurriedly skip past lifetime movies on TV. Both are likely to shut up and watch. Both like horror movies, so they settle on one, but then during a terrifying scene David creepyhorrors Kieran sneakily to make him jump.

He probably feels bad about it after.

4, 5 and 6 get dragged to a fortune teller! What does she tell them and how much do the character's think it is bullshit.

8 is having a Wedding! 2 has been chosen to be best man, how much of a terrible thing is this.

9 and 1 have decided to go on a date together, oh my~ What do they do?
harukami: (the devil's in the details)

[personal profile] harukami 2011-12-25 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
Maddy, David, and Cherry Laurel get dragged to a fortune teller! David is really uncomfortable with this, guys, he doesn't really feel like he should be listening to anyone else tell him what his fate will be. Cherry Laurel is FASCINATED! Humans! They're so bizarre! Look at what they can do! I will meet a tall dark stranger! :O . Madison corrects her on a number of key points and then tells her fortune pointedly.

Kit is having a wedding! Lucia has been chosen to be best man. Why would anyone do this, David is obviously a better choice. Okay so Lucia criticizes Bastien's taste in rings, criticizes Kit's choice in marriage partner, and tries to arrange a ghost stag party that ends up with Kit surrounded by demons staring at him hungrily. Come on, Kit, turn your back on God a little, come on....

Elluka and Zoey go on a date together! gosh and golly. Zoey takes Elluka out shopping and treats her to an outfit of her choice -- I know you feel like jeans and flannels are just more practical, honey, but it's not what you want, right? Let's get you something you really want, and then with Elluka dressed up in cute gothpunk wear and petticoats, she takes Elluka out to a nice dinner. She's chatty and friendly with both of them and in return they keep the conversation flowing, but somehow end up talking a lot about what happened with Elli's brother and how she feels about it and her own conflict over her feelings for Luka and what's she going to do about having encountered the real Luka's damned soul....

* Zoey has to fuck, marry, kill Lucia, Kieran, and Madison.

"Oh nooo do I really have to? Woooow, what will I doooo!! What to do, what to dooooo." She will fuck Kieran just to see if Tristan reacts that's so interesting isn't that interesting. Marry Madison because what an interesting little psychic boy, who will you grow up into! she wants to see. So I guess that means killing Lucia, what a terrible idea!


* David has to fuck, marry, kill, Cherry, Tristan, and Kit

Oh god no why. F...uck... Tristan... probably I mean... at least he can rely on Tristan to be pretty cool about things... marry Kit because that's basically already true and, kill Cherry because it's a leftover who David wouldn't fuck OR marry.


* Elluka has to fuck, marry, kill, Bastien, Zoey, and David.

:X. WELL THEN. None of this... actually... appeals but I guess ... ... ... m...marry David?? Fuck Zoey... because... no option is good... and kill Bastien why not. Or at least kick him in the knee.


* Lucia has to fuck, marry, kill Kieran, Tristan, and Bastien.

OH LORD well fuck Tristan (at least an incubus will be good at it right), marry Kieran (...no real reason just by default) because obviously kill Bastien duh.


* Kit has to fuck, marry, kill Madison, David, and Cherry Laurel.

This is really not as preferred! I guess fuck David (oooh mr. bellcourt ooh you look so much like Bastien did when he was young), marry Madison (one does not fuck or kill children, I mean, please), so once again Cherry Laurel must die.


* Verbally we also had this exchange: "I wish you'd given a fuck, marry kill for Tristan" "Which number's Tristan?" "7." "I'll do it verbally! 7 has to do 3, 8, and 9." SO:

Tristan has to fuck, marry, kill Kieran, Kit, and Elluka. Fuck Kieran because they are already fucking that is already a thing, marry Kit because Kit would make an excellent househusband if you need to get married anyway, and kill Elluka because although they get along quite well, all things considered, another demon will be bumped lowest on the lsit by default.

So guys, we spent a long while discussing this with the amazing [livejournal.com profile] sunnyspringhome over at the link Telly gave above, and after spending a lot of time helping us out with this comment cut-off thing, it seems the conclusion is that all custom layouts will have this problem because it's a LJ glitch :'D

So only the new default comment page will display those 'missing' comments.

How do we want to approach? Go to the new default page at least until we port over, or-?
virtuallyroyalty: (the three trials)

[personal profile] virtuallyroyalty 2011-12-25 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
N-NEW DEFAULT UNTIL WE PORT OVER, I GUESS??
troublebrewing: (where do you guys keep the kegger?)

[personal profile] troublebrewing 2011-12-25 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
Do you guys know how long the port over will take?
harukami: (BEAR IS DRIVING)

[personal profile] harukami 2011-12-25 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
We were going to wait until people stopped commenting and then start the port. There's a lot of porting going on right now so DW warns that ports may take a day or two to finish.
troublebrewing: (hold on you've gotta wait just a minute.)

[personal profile] troublebrewing 2011-12-25 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
Hmmm, if it's between games and it would only take a day or two... I wouldn't mind putting up with the new layout for that short amount of time.

[personal profile] telepathetically 2011-12-25 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
The default layout is okay with me.

[identity profile] cureworsethan.livejournal.com 2011-12-25 06:23 am (UTC)(link)
Go ahead and use the new layout, as far as I'm concerned. But. Wow, LJ, fail.
bestest: ('cause I said so.)

[personal profile] bestest 2011-12-25 06:25 am (UTC)(link)
The only deal I have is that I prefer being able to view comments individually which doesn't work on the default layout iirc??

Buuut it's not unplayable for me so I don't mind if people prefer otherwise o/
weatherfairy: (questionable clouds)

[personal profile] weatherfairy 2011-12-25 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
I can put up with the new default for a little while. It's not unplayable, just. Fail :|b

[personal profile] bellflowered 2011-12-25 06:49 am (UTC)(link)
Update: We are thinking of switchign back just quickly, then for the last two posts, making a directory of the current threads so people can read them or navigate back to browse even if they're 'hiding', then switching back over! Just for the best of both worlds.
bellflowered: (that so musically wells)

[personal profile] bellflowered 2011-12-25 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
...WE DID IT THAT TOOK TEN MINUTES. We've only donei t for endgame and epilogue as I think those are the only 500+ comment posts people are still threading in, but if you need other posts updated let mek now and I will make directories for those too. ♥
