If my posts have told you anything, I
love Osamu Sato and his works. My favorite is Eastern Mind. I've wanted to LP this game for awhile, but I decided for a fun forum game, I would let
you guys do the actions. Think Twitch Plays Pokemon, only not live.
Official TVTropes Page! [x]Current Goal: Fulfill the goal of Byou's life (currently need to get the eyeball of dreaming from the roots of the tree of life)
How does it work?For starters, we have these commands:
- Go (direction)
- Go (direction) (number 1-8) times
- Turn (left/right) (number 1-4) times
- Get/Pick up/Obtain/etc. (item)
- Talk to (character)
- Inventory/Furoshiki/Items
- Scroll Inventory/Furoshiki/Items Menu (left/right) (1-6 times)
- Use (item)
- Use (item) on (object/character/item)
- Answer "(answer)"
Whenever I do an action, I will make a post that looks something like this.
">Talk to Moku-Gyou.
Moku-Gyou talks to us. He has more words to say. We cannot go away right now. What is our next command?"
Once that's been done, you can enter commands for our next move. The top commands out of the cap that were suggested the most will be the commands we input, in order of their requests. If we have a tie, the command that was posted first is then chosen.
However,
the majority rule function does not apply to moving around. So if we are in a 3x3 area, and one says "go left once" followed by 2 "go forward twice" commands, we will go left first, and then forward, as opposed to the other way around.
If there is a situation where we can only do one thing, then I will do it automatically. Also, if the correct answer to a riddle or question is given, I will input it automatically. Much less waiting. For areas with more dense warps, I will update it in one move, rather then 3, to try and make sure we see the warps possible
very carefully.
Using the BookYes, the Tong-Nou book has enough commands to warrant it's own section.
•Open book - self explanatory
•Close book - self explanatory
•Flip page left - Can be done up to 10 times, self explanatory
•Flip page right - Can be done up to 10 times, self explanatory
•Mark current page with (red/blue/green) bookmark - Marks the page we are on with the book mark. Can only be done if it's available on the bottom.
•Go to page with (red/blue/green) bookmark - Goes to the page marked with the bookmark. Can only be done if it's being used.
•Remove (red/blue/green) bookmark - Requires majority rule vote, and also can only be done if it's being used.
Potentially FAQQ: I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON HELP
A: Me too. There is a lot of
Zen going on here, trust me. But then again, this guy made LSD: Dream Emulator. What did you expect from that guy?
Q: I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE NEED TO DO HELP
A: Use a walkthrough if you need to. A general goal can be learned by an item (the Mirror) and from the top of the post up there!
Q: So, wait, I can use a walkthrough to help me figure out how to beat the game? And watching a let's play?
A: You sure can! I implore you guys to do that, actually. Seeing as nobody here but me has beat this game, it's reasonable, too. As for the latter, only if they plan on beating the game, like
this guy.Q: Do you actually accept spam commands? Commands by people using alts to get 3+ commands and get the game to run faster?
A: I do take all commands seriously; but please don't spam commands to try and fuck everybody over. If you keep spamming shit to fuck everybody over, I can and
will ignore your commands until I see it fit to let you play fair again. However, If I catch people using alts, they
will have their commands ignored until I see it fit to let them play fair, and their alts will
also have their commands ignored. So don't do that, please.
Q: How often do you update?
A: I try my best to update it occasionally, and I want it to be updated at
least once a day. I like to let the commands accumulate before updating, if not to let there be 3 for me to put into the commands we run. But if the gap in December taught you anything, it might be longer then that. Of course, if an area is too dense, I will update faster then this.
Q: So, wait, do you post whenever you wake up + when there are 3 or more commands, or is there something else to it?
A: Nope! I will update whenever I wake up, or if I have 3 or more commands. Of course, the delay between updating and waking up might exist, but it shouldn't be too much. It should take until about 4PM, at the very worst case scenario where I forget until the end of the school day/don't get the chance until after the school day is done. Of course, there are exceptions, though...
Q: Exceptions?
A: The only two I have so far are for if I get an answer to a riddle, or when navigating an area with a lot of possible warps we might overlook by going too fast, such as Sato's head in
THE VOID!!!,
A-mong other things.
Q: I don't have my own DashNet account, but I wanna play this. How do I submit commands?
A: Sorry, but you gotta sign up here if you wish to play. I don't think the mods/admins here would mind if you signed up here just to play this. Generally speaking, we don't bite here at DNF.
Q: But, I'm your friend on other websites...
A: Again, we don't bite here at DNF. I'm sure that people here wouldn't mind you joining for playing this silly forum game.
Q: Do you manage the TVTropes page?
A: Other then other tropers who might find this scrolling through the LP/play-by-post RP lists, or other forumers, or general wiki wanderers who give polish, I am the main guy behind it.
Q: I think somebody is spamming/using alts, or I know they are.
A: Shoot me a PM, and I will gladly ignore their accounts used for this sorta thing.
Comments
Yes, the original post was too big!
It was Ridley!So, have the OTHER half of the FAQ, and then the original post.Q: Why Eastern Mind?
A: I love this game, it's criminally underrated, and it's easy enough (it's an adventure game, for crying out loud)
Q: Have you heard of Chu-Teng?
A: Yes. I have.
Q: Do you plan on doing a Dashnet Plays Chu-Teng?
A: Not until a translation comes out; as it stands, the game is in all Japanese. I'm sorry. Aside from that, there are battles in the game, and I dunno how those will turn out.
Q: I know Japanese! Can I translate the screencaps?
A: Well, you can't translate for me. What you can do is contact shutupcarlton on tumblr, and say you wanna translate the game. Please do it. I've been dying for a translation.
Q: My question's not here...
A: By all means, shoot me a PM, or a message on my other social medias! Preferably Tumblr, if you don't have an account here.

Yep, we can start now. I am aware Fraps is showing up. I will get to fixing that ASAP.

PLOTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
We can only pick up the Amulet and the Furoshiki at this point. I think it's obvious what we do.

Yeah, it was overdue. After a-- wait did that read amullet there

At this point, we can go to the boat we're sailing on by observing the sketch of Tong-Nou.

For now I will bump because I really wanna see the game beaten when a whole ton of dashnet users are all playing at the same time
Also EXTREMELY IMPORTANT RULE UPDATE
I'm not gonna make it 1 action per post because it's gonna take way too long. If there are 3 or more actions I will chose the top 3. It helps make it more TPP-like.

Happy new year, though. Major Rule Update, if we can only do one thing, I will do it for us.
And now, an actual fucking update! (Holy shit!)
>Click that picture of Tong-Nou
I CAN SAVE THE GAME!!!~
Now that I got that out of the way, we're on a boat. Take a good hard look at this motherfucking boat... Or I would, if we could look down.
Anyways, all we can really do is sail onward. So let's goooooo!~
>Sail forth. Be Toon Link from Wind Waker.
Adventure! Yeaaaah!~
After awhile, we see this floating island rise. Is this Tong-Nou? A tiny red planet?
>Just click it and check for sure.
CRACKLE! And with thunder, the island is revealed to us.
...NOPE! It's Osamu Sato's floating-in-a-void head. And it's green! Good...
>Get close so you could, like, enter a goddamn area?
Oh, hushy, just because my cursor was in the shot doesn't mean you can act all bored.
There. I moved it out on my side, so you can quit being all pouty, you little island. :P
Also, Goal Accomplished: Get to Tong-Nou!
Well, we can do a lot. Other then mess with his face, too!
We can...

...Oh, a tunnel. Nevermind.

Anyways, while we're here... We can go forward, or just turn back. What do you think we can do?

If everything goes to plan, I update this...
...So if you want this to go by faster, then there's your formula.
Also I am still counting Sparky's command, so his is not nullified.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT WHAT THE FUCK IS--
Oh. it's not... Aggressive. It's just kinda hopping there. That, my friends, is a Fang-Shing. Once we get a certain item, I will be sure to show you something pertaining to it.
We can either talk to this thing, or go forward/backward. What do we do?

...Huh. It's just some advice. Apparently this "A-mong" fellow is pretty bad, and is up to no good...
Talking to this Fang Shing seems pointless now, as it has nothing else to say.
Do we go forward, or go backward?

More fun then your body has room for.
Funny enough, my mom thought she heard something while I was working... It was Eastern Mind running. :P
Either way, if I get one more command (per the rules) I will update again... So get cracking.
