Serial Killer Round 59: Wake Up Machine (Game over)

[Aerosteam]

@usernalbourne: I made it perfectly clear this raundo had a game show/Dangan Ronpa/Persona 4/Death Note/Apollo Zeta theme.

... I think.

@Cop: Some of us don't wanna write death posts wanna die!

 

[NeoAC]

@Sky Dreamer: SOME OF US DIDN'T GET THAT OPTION!

 

[Terratina.]

@Aerosteam: I abstain from the death award vote. Apparently I can't PM people from uni because of the proxy.

 

[SirDerpy]

@Aerostreamer: The finale episode is coming up. I do believe that viewership rates are through the roof. Oh, what a beautiful, fantastic show this made. I can almost taste those delicious ratings they're going to be heaping on us.

Spoiler: Introduction

At the end of every round, awards will be given to those who have created entertaining/memorable death posts, chosen by the players!

All players PM the GM their choice of 3 of their favourite deaths featured in the round, in no particular order. The 3 deaths with the most votes will get an award. After that, the GM will choose their favourite death and that will get the "Game Master's Pick" award.

-You cannot vote for your own death
-Only a revived player's first death is counted
-Dead or alive, all players can vote
-If more than 3 deaths having the most votes, the current GM must find a way to reduce it
-The GM's Pick can be applied to a death that already has an award

[HEADING=1]To every player in round 59, please send your votes now![/HEADING]​

@Terrifytina.: Can you send it from a device you own? There's plenty of time left.

If that's unpossible you can just tell me here, one public vote won't make too much harm.

Oh, good. I'm not the only one that had no idea what the theme was... I don't know what Dangan Ronpa means...

 

[Terratina.]

@Aerosteam: I tried to PM ya from my laptop and it failed. Too late to be in the uni library. I'll try doing it from my mobile tomorrow when it's charged back up though. >.>

 

[deserteagleeye]

Oh, good. I'm not the only one that had no idea what the theme was... I don't know what Dangan Ronpa means...

I think it quite literally means "Shooty Refutey."

Helpful. I guess it doesn't matter what the theme was in the end. It was still a very intriguing round. Hopefully the next round is this exciting.

 

[deserteagleeye]

Everyone sure is acting like it's already over...

 

[Aerosteam]

@antarcticeagleeye: I know. Voting is still going on (for the execution and awards) and there's still the interview lounge to be had.

The game will officially end when I say. It might even end after the next round begins, depending on how Skatologist feels like.

 

[kingofkumquats]

Oh, yeah. There was talk of an interview thing... Still, the real action and mystery of the round is over.

@Everyone: Now, I know you all want to vote for me, but I think you're overlooking something. Obviously, we should all be voting for Aerosteam. I'm but a mere pawn of his, forced to murder my dear friends. I say we execute the real killer! #killaerosteam #getthebastard #voteforjustice

@DespotSeagullDie: It doesn't hurt to write an epilogue before finishing the story mode, after all.

Also, looks like I'm gonna be reaping the rewards of the serial positioning effect. Kikiki...

 

[Aerosteam]

@Weremel Frappe: Neuromancer suggested at first to have only 1 award given out, then I suggested 3 along with a GM's Pick, we both agreed that would be better.

@Selfiegore: Yup, I even had a super special GM death planned out if I were to die.

And guess what?

You totally could have killed me.

 

[Neuromancer]

@Aerosteam: How did you come with this brilliant idea of giving out awards to people who've made great death posts?
I know Neuromancer had something to do with it, but how did the chat go?

So, I've been thinking, one of the problems in the previous rounds was the lack of actual death posts, right?

What if we had a feature called Death Spotlight? After a round's end, the people PM that round's GM the name of the person that had, in their opinion, the best death of the round. After the voting's done, the previous GM sends the death post to the next round's GM, who puts it on the OP.

Maybe that would help motivate people to work on their death posts. I recall Link's main problem was writing a nice death post only for it to be ignored. This could hopefully help counteract that aswell.

That is a good idea, but I think having a top 3 and "GM's pick" would be nicer, no?

That's pretty much how it went.

It doesn't hurt to write an epilogue before finishing the story mode, after all.

Aye, once Kira dies the story will conclude along with a bunch of stuff I want to show.

@Caramel Frappe: Turn your willpower into magic and revive yourself. Then vote Aerosteam! *pins button that says "Vote Aerosteam" on corpse*

@Aerosteam: Damnit! You guys now know you can't kill me now. Aerosteam has gotta go down! We gotta see that!
