hi

>>64594
zomg teh kittens

Well, I've been visting this site for about half a year, so it's probably about time that I introduced myself to you guys.

Like Dlanor, I have played and loved Kinjo's fangames, in particular his fourth which inspired me to come to this site. I know that the way he portrayed /seacats/ is highly romanticised, but I found the picture he painted of the old site back when it was more active quite beautiful, and it's tragic that all the games there were lost.

Most of the games that exist on the new site seem to be either unfinished or unremarkable. I've still read everything on /gameboard/ despite that, though, and there are definitely a few gems in there. But to be honest, that makes me wish I could read the games from the old days even more.

Regardless, I probably won't be around /teaparty/ much, since the interest in Umineko seems to have mostly passed and the things that the community talks about these days - mainly anime and other VNs, by the looks of things - are of no interest to me. But I will stop by occasionally and comment if there happens to be a discussion about something that catches my interest.

It's a shame that I only discovered Umineko after all eight episodes were released, because I would have loved to have been part of the fanbase back when it was still active. Umineko is the most amazing story that I've ever read and it still continues to fascinate me even though it's already been a year since I discovered it. Well, I won't go on any further about this, since I'll probably go into text wall territory if I start listing all the reasons I love it, but it is definitely a very special work to me.

Oh, right, and my name originates from my extensive reading into the archives of AnimeSuki's Umineko discussion thread. I noticed that "Rikatrice" was a common fan name for Erika back when her picture was first released; considering my love for Rika, Erika and Beatrice, I thought it a suitable identity to take on here.

At any rate, due to my vast love for the ingenious ruleset that Ryukishi has created for Umineko's "gameboards", I will definitely be sticking around to try and solve any game that you guys happen to post. Just thought I should let you guys know who I am before I vanish into the sea of Fragments. Nipa-*

Yes, many of us don't deserve our Umineko names anymore.

Especially him.

Hello, and welcome.
Most of the last games have died or have become incomplete due a lack of players. I don't try too hard anymore because of my strong ability to lose. I think I have a good theory for Lion's game culprit, but it seems unlikely because it relies too much on some obscure metadata of the board and its members.
In any case enjoy your stay, and feel free to make your own game.

>>64597
Welcome!

There were no more English errors in your post than would be considered the norm for Americans on the Internet. In fact, it's probably above average.

>>64602
Well, that's only one of the problems. I have zero writing experience, actually it's not zero. I had a bad experience from that time Rosa trolled me with his proofreading with hilarious results (for everyone else).

>>64603
Hm...I have always wanted to make my own gameboard, but my problem is that I get too ambitious with my ideas. I don't think that they would work as anything less than an actual VN, and I simply don't have the time or motivation to work on one of those. Most of my free time is currently being spent on a SNES-style RPG project that I've been working on with some other people for two years, but progress is very slow on that, so I don't know when I'll have time for anything else.

Also, while I'm good at coming up with interesting scenarios and fantasy scenes, I'm terrible at actually coming up with murder scenarios that are both difficult and solvable. I really admire people who have this skill, as it's a very difficult balance to keep.

Still, if anything that's interesting and on a reasonably small scale comes to mind, I might make a simple text-based gameboard one of these days. Those 'closed room blitz' things that Kinjo, Ozaki and Rudolf used to play seemed like fun.

writing is suffering

>>64605
It's even more suffering if you need to write the whole thing in a single day to meet your three days criteria. I wanted to get it ready for Ozaki's birthday.
>>64604
And yeah, the real reason I didn't really try it is because I couldn't come with a decent trick. I wanted to do a closed room in an elevator, but Kinjo is already using something like that in his Butler game.

Going to stream Ayakashi in 2 hours
