I decided to take a break from here at the singular point in time when I would be most interested in how the story progressed... Well, no use complaining about rotten eggs (If that is how the idiom goes...) I see someone has been listening to my ramblings about thinking in character, though the metaphorical scale here is even in this regard. Also, wasn't a line in that cut from perspective "in a few days" as in not right now but not a month later? Let Oscar rest for more than a night, please. That is my understanding as well, knowing from my network of slightly related topics which somehow makes everyone thinks I understand the lore of Touhou deeply despite only knowing hearsay and using plausible conjecture to structure an argument that A is indeed A... Though even just welding the Dream World and the World of Fantasies can guarantee a substantial amount of OCs. Those two options are not strictly opposite to one another. Whether it is a good idea to use both of them at once is another question that you have to answer yourself. Me being part of said failed revival (Being the twintailed Nekomata who chose the constitutional monarchy of the Underworld, and being the last call for help before it died out) I enjoyed that fleeting time and would like to try again if we can find enough support. With that stipulation being the problem. As for my choice of extra fanfiction... The vampire one sounds intriguing. It means you have to get put in the mind of tricksters and sentences with double meanings, which I find is always a great writer exercise. (If a little draining, as I have come to know with my own side hustle of a completely original story.) Well, despite my obscure knowledge about many details of a lot of subjects, I have not a single clue as to which one I have a preference for. I believe Yumetou has more of a situation as the fairy tale "The Emperor's new Clothes" in store for us. Sure, Oscar could attempt to blend in, but he has enough knowledge about Gensokyo to know the difference between a 'Youkai' and a 'Human' while also having the knowledge of costumes to see through most of them (I think, we know jack about Oscar's past other than he's a magician). This would certainly spice things up for the first few interactions, until he wises up, that is. So we would certainly not be having 'normal human villager simulator' for at least the first day or three. As I have already stated, but in case you forgot while reading through the above wall of text, I was in one of them (Specifically the one where Oscar Diggs, the President of Otherworldly Ventures was about to be introduced) The main problem I see is that there are few consistently active members with enough of a drive to create an OC and follow through with it for an RP to work. My character had a distant relationship with mister Diggs, being the cat of one of his employees who died when he attempted to form a trade agreement with the Lunarians. (Though my impression from everything I read about that Oscar was that he was about to put on an opening ceremony for the first store in the Human Village, not a magician in the Outside World sense.) I still hate that last post I wrote in the IC, but I'm not going to go change the history of that thing now, as it has become something of a landmark in my brain of what to not do. Now then, I know my signature will say it, but this is a special moment, so... May Gensokyo bless you~2 points

No worries. I'm enjoying not having all the answers constantly. :) Writing does sometimes feel a little contrived. There's a starting goal, and an end goal, and everything in between is how you get there. If you've seen a Hollywood movie in the past ten years, you know how that feels. So I'm enjoying being thrown off now and then. And don't worry, I don't think Oscar understood that chapter either. Yes and no. He's safe from scary monsters running around in the woods for now. But he has to eat and has no real talents for anything the locals would consider useful. So he'll have to find some way to earn himself money. Additionally there will be challenges socially. Some people really won't like him, and we'll have to deal with that. There's also the exploration of the village, which may have its own secrets and dangers. Don't worry. You'll need all the tricks you can get. About a year ago I tried to start a bunch of RPs in the RP channel Eientei. It went alright at first, but we kept cycling through members, and I soon got overwhelmed by IRL. But I had various NPCs planned for the games. Oscar himself was one of them, the leader of a corporation of humans.1 point

Someone had this idea to create a Mario Kart style fangame as a Bloodborne spin-off. Random though this idea may sound, those behind it were enthusiastic enough to see it through to production, including an entire soundtrack, though it ultimately did not see release due to copyright. The soundtrack was published thereafter, and while it had merit, it did not appeal as much to me (I'm not familiar with the motifs of Bloodborne), so the matter seemed settled there. Then the team decided to rebrand their game into something more original; while it would retain its aesthetic inspiration, direct references thereto were reworked to make the project safe to release. This also resulted in the soundtrack being remastered, with the new version being significantly more fine-tuned in instrumentation and arrangement in my opinion. Evelyn Lark (a.k.a. The Noble Demon) is the composer for Nightmare Kart, and her chosen style for the project is reminiscent of other racing games, being high-energy and extremely jazzy. A slight horror element is also infused, though more strongly in some pieces then others; having seen some footage of the gameplay, I'm surprised this was the preferred accompaniment, though I'm anything but disappointed.1 point

Hello. Some sad and important news. Chinese Touhou websites are currently under DDoS attack. Chinese Touhou Wiki (THBwiki), a lot of forums, sites related to Touhou events and other big important Touhou sites and (according to some Chinese fans) some QQ and Telegram Touhou-related chats and Touhou-related servers for multiplayer games are under organised attack, which began 5 days ago and is becoming stronger day by day. Today the all services related to THBwiki which were hosted by Nyasama became down. To somehow understand the damage to Chinese Touhou fandom imagine if in 2011 Touhou wiki, MotK, gensokyo.org and most other Western Touhou sites became down at the same time. Nobody knows the goal of the attack and how long it would last. Maybe Western and Japanese Touhou sites are under looming threat. We should be prepared to that. The more people would know about this the more chances we have solve this problem. Official statement on https://bbs.nyasama.com (one of the biggest Chinese forums) (Google translated): Official statement by THBwiki (https://www.bilibili.com/read/cv36031940/ ) (Google translated): Current state of sites related to THBwiki you can see here: https://thwiki.github.io/status/ Status of Patchyvideo (VoileLabs): https://status.patchyvideo.com Info by Chinese Touhou Newspaper (10.07.2024): The large-scale attacks on Chinese Touhou Community still continuing today, and the number of the victims has increased to ten. THBWiki and Patchyvideo (THVideo) have announced suspension of external services. According to some reliable sources, yesterday from afternoon to night, the attackers used a lot of accounts to upload a large amount of politically sensitive content to THBWiki and Patchyvideo, which may be one of the factors that prompted the closure of the website. According to an announcement from Nyasama, they used attack methods including but not limited to DDoS, DoS, CC and sending illegal content to destroy Chinese Touhou websites that contain the word "Touhou Project" on the page. Secondly, the attackers may further extend to various Touhou QQ groups and BiliBili live.Please be aware. In the deteriorating situation,there are some suggestion. 1. Use Cloudflare and other security measures to protect the website. 2. Hide the visible links. 3. Close the issue tab of the Github repos. 4. Suspend the Touhou live on live platforms such as BiliBili. 5. Be alert to anonymously posted illegal information. 6. Review the add-group applicants. 7. Protect personal information. 8. Actively to use the reporting function. I hope we can help each other and overcome the difficulties time together. What can you do? Share this topic to your friend and let they know about it.
