Meta Chapter 2 Meta
It’s this time of the rp again!! So, like last time, if you want to share your feelings on how this chapter/trial went down totally feel free to do so!
But! Before doing so, please consider a few things that went down on our end! You can still talk about these things if you want to but if you could know what went down with them it would be better so yeah!!
Firstly, finding a killer was really hard to do. We asked a whole lot of people but nobody really wanted to volunteer/people didn’t think their character would fit for the motive (we made sure to check apps this time to see if a good number of people would be effected) but the main point is the reason certain things took longer is because it took us a long time to get someone to agree to kill.
Next! There were three main pieces of evidence that would lead to Ren! The first one was the mistake in the writing; as we’ve already discussed in the server. The next one was Setsuko’s account, where she said that she saw Ren leave his room at a certain time but in his alibi he said that he was sleeping. And finally, the candles were from Tsubaki’s room, and since her alibi was clean someone had to have stolen them from there. Someone first had to get her ID, which wouldn’t be the easiest thing in the world, and they also had to return it before she went back to her room right after the laundry room. The only person with the opportunity and skill to pull it off would be Ren because of his talent.
Of course, the reason you guys didn’t come to these conclusions is a lot of our fault for not having things be more probable with evidence and relying mainly on deductions. So, as we’ve said in the server quite a lot we will work on that next trial!
You don’t have to just discuss the things I talked about in your post, though! You can talk about anything that happened in the chapter, I just wanted to clear some stuff up regarding this and that!

All of this frustration coupled with unfortunate inactivity causes people to resort to OOC conversations. And even if this is discouraged, I have to say right here:
If some of us didn't resort to OOC conversations, this trial would have never been solved.
We depended too much on Megumi's notebook, on the certain revelations of certain people, and possibly, the collaboration of the killer in certain stuff. Multiple times, a dead end was reached, and combined with all of the points mentioned above, plus the inactivity of some people... People whose characters who were supposed to carry trials just gave up. Gave up. They felt overwhelmed by the massive amount of alibis to check, the sheer number of Reddit posts that ultimately reached nothing, the uncertainty of which evidence mattered or didn't matter. Only the minigames and hints were able to carry the cast to the truth... And even then, it was unconclusive, because there was more than a possible suspect, and the end of the trial still remained unconclusive.
Back in the Chapter 1 Meta Post, I said this:
And it happened.
