>>147014976
>>147015215
Your board is the worst one when it comes to thread quality /vg/fags.
Even /b/ is better.
>>147014976
our best times were pre-/vg/ move though.
>>147015613
/v/ is about organized banter, they are able to do a serious roleplay while inserting some jokes here and there (that /vg/fags would call "memes") and still keep the serious tone. Most of our first trials were like this and they are still the best up to this date.
I feel like /vg/ has way too many kids with short attention span. They can't really take the game seriously, they only want the banter and the jokes.
This is not bait. I speak from experience.
>>147016014
i feel that people are trying too hard to win and trying too hard to recreate classic server moments
people really went along with everything during december/january, but now when people start disliking a case, they start whining and crying both OOC and IC. i've even seen them call the witnesses walls right in their face and start truthfagging to spite them before ragequitting.
>Watching turnabout ferris wheel
>Judge defending the defence attorney
Why do I get the feeling people wouldn't let that slide now.
>>147016532
Yeah this new mentality is awful
Greg would have never gotten away with half the shit he's done if people acted like this back then
>case has literally gone over the span of two days
>the DA is a retard who keeps missing obvious contradictions even with all the witnesses spoonfeeding him and a passive as hell truthfag prosecutor
>>147016853
if turnabout /fit/ happened today it'd be killed during building because of meme evidence, or mistrialed because witness 2 left.
the dog and *BLOCKS IT* wasn't the original direction the case would've gone in, but then lupadim powers got on the stand and nobody started complaining.
Then the first witness coming back to the stand, to say that will powers was a human who THOUGHT he was a dog? Shit like that would be met with rage now, calling it railroading.
Real fucking greg-tier cases are a lost art.
>>147017910

That does not happen. Recesses are called and emegency second witnesses are shilled for.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with replacing a dead fucking thread that nobody is gong to post in because /aog/ is lucky to get a post every five minutes and nobody is even going to bother.

Are you retarded?
The /vp/, /vg/, and /vr/ splits are what caused current /v/ to become so low quality in the first place.
Are you literally so new that you don't remember what the board was like before the community split?
The only general that was out of hand on original /v/ was pokemon, and that's only a seasonal thing that gets talked about a lot when a new game is released then dies down a few months later.

Seeing AO die this slowly is really sad
We will die to live another day.
>>147026895
I don't think we will ever die. At least not in 5 years. Not kidding, there will always be at least 10 people who will want to case. This game is way too addicting to die.
I do hope though we can sort out our opinions about how cases should be done so this can be enjoyable to everyone.
>>147027245
>5 years
AO dies TONIGHT.
>>147026895
I miss the early days when the ooc was bustling full of people reacting to the case, and how new docs would fill up in a moment, and most would eagerly contribute to casebuilding. People didn't spend time fucking with the doc layout to make their name look cool, or had bloody premade pictures to put there.
I miss all the players that left, who made every case they were in more enjoyable and didn't take things so seriously.
I miss all the cases were everything and everything happened, and people happily rolled with it.
I miss enjoying the cases as much as I used to.
>>147027414
Nope.
This is one of the most active generals by the way.
>>147017083
The DA here. I was indeed retarded, but I put some of the blame on not having any 'true' support to help catch contradictions, give a second point of view, etc. All I see is that I'm better of as a Co while on the defence.
Still doesn't excuse me missing out on contradictions left, right, and center.
>>147027458
>most would eagerly contribute to casebuilding
Sorry but that never happened. I've been here since week 1 and there's always been complaining about how most people just sit and watch the building.
>>147027601
Maybe I'm misremembering, but I know certainly that it never took as long to get a case started as it does now. I takes about 2 hours on average to get it started now.
>>147027489
>This is one of the most active generals by the way.
>>147027458
Holy shit this so much
I used to case daily and when I wasn't casing I'd drop into OOC chat because I liked talking with you hopeless fucking nerds. Shit was much better back when OOC would watch a case and people would even, holy shit, post in the thread about wild rides.
>>147027979
Same anon. My question is, if we recognize the issue, why can't we just try and case with the old Dec/Jan mentality?The answer for me is that I don't even case anymore. I never thought it'd happen but I've basically died from AOV.
>>147028472
Pretty much all the old people have left at this point, so it's hard for them to have that mentality. Still miss frogpollo. He returned only to leave shortly after.

At this point we should just allow ponies to be used in the server right? I'm not a pony fag or anything I'm just saying that since things like Persona, Shitty OC, DR and Inferno Cop go then ponies should go too ya know?

>>147028472
The mentality of December/January is that nobody quite knew how to play, so there was more experimentation and less tryharding. For example, now nobody is gonna attempt to have a case with three witnesses (and not just for lack of people) or to call up a coroner for testifying, or anything else that is out of current "meta", so to speak. The only way to maybe bring it back would be to kill the server for a month minimum and come back on /v/, but nobody is gonna kill rhinos to save them.
>>147044580
Well 3 wit trials do still happen... from time to time.
Witnesses have gotten so fucking use to our meta we have going on that cases are not "Wild" in a good way anymore. We hate having more than 2 witnesses and most of the time the fomula goes like this:
Detective: Gives facts.
Wit 1: Saw body
--Detective comes back in and presents findings--
Wit 2: Saw murderer, is real murderer.
We've gotten tired of 3rd witnesses so much that we don't even like calling the 1st witness back up most of the time.
I remember when 1st witness wasn't always the same. Remember when a witness neither saw the murder or stumbled on the body? No? Cus it never happens.
There was once a time when 1st witness testified to events surrounding the murder. Or gave testimony to explain defendant's motive in detail.
That shit won't fly anymore because everyone whines about it being a "Waste of time to bother with a witness who didn't see anything."
>There are still people that think you can't have a metagame in a lawyer simulator
>>147045445
If (You) don't actually have anything to say except "lol you guys are wrong" then at least wait until thread reaches page 10 to bump it.
>>147040883
Upper right arm (our left) is WAY too thin. His shoulder/pectoral is also extended in an odd way--try moving the shoulder joint in a bit while adding more thickness to the upper arm.
The left arm shouldn't be curving outward like that. Try following your reference a bit more carefully.
>>147028856
>>147045285
>>147044580
I'm one of those oldfags. Literally every time I try to say this, I get shat on by everyone else.
Or someone greentexts a singular statement made and says "that's not what happens" and then this apparently renders everything else posted irrelevant. Kinda like a defense going THE WITNESS IS LYING, THROW HIM OUT.
Example >>147027601
>>147015272
>>147015613
And yet /v/ considered you /vg/, think about that for a second.
>>147017910
Then go make a "/v/" case with your 30% and do what you wanted to do with your cases.
>>147027458
It's not gonna go back to that, so you might as well leave.
Unless you're gonna do a well calculated shill in /v/eekends, which I don't even recommend we have for a while, until we've cut down filesize that all the people trying to get into the game complains about
>>147027782
Cases didn't take as long to build is why, and that's because we wanted a lot less detail from a case. There's nothing wrong with more detail, just our formula is longdriven.
>>147050717
so what cases can you say you had fun in/watching recently?
So guys how do we make this game great again, since we obviously cant go back to >>147044580
>>147051090
Just kill the threads for a month and come back on /v/
We don't have to kill the servers to do that.
>all these people who want change
>but won't do anything about it
Listen, I too want cases to be like fucking Turnabout /fit/, so simply call the shit out of people who make such cases not happen
You keep saying ''people will complain'', well fuck them, tell them to fuck off and try casing the old way anyway.
Pic related pretty much sums it up, stop trying to be so fucking serious with this game.
Can we actually get rise in? Like we're obviously ok with persona and Eliza sucks for witting but I could actually have a few new ideas for a witness with her since new emotes new personality etc. but n the end it's up to the polls
>>147053839
You answered your own question, dude.
>>147054025

>>147045285
Cases are currently like this for a reason, it's what has achieved the most success after people have played so many alternatives.
Wit 3 trials don't happen as often because it is more complicated to include them, and cases are long enough as it is.
case
>>147054387
And yet, I personally hold even the worst cases from winter higher than the average case today, simply because of the formulaic nature and inability to stick to it to perfection.
>>147055307
"personally"
Do I agree with every case being the same?
Not really.
Is there a reason it is? Yes.
My thoughts on the matter:
I don't think that it is even possible to build a case like they were used to be built, because nobody remembers how to. So I attempted to lift evidence from an old case doc to retry today. Would anyone be fine with that?It wasn't that notable a case, but even if you remember it, we still don't have to follow the original one.
>>147055632
I'm not gonna speak for everyone on server, yet there are people in this very thread that share my concerns on the case strictness. And come on, just because there was a reason to pick a template means we should stick with it forever? Good enough is not the way to go.
>>147056663
Did I say we should stick with it forever?
There is nothing stopping you from doing anything on this server.
I am just stating the reasons why we're like this currently. Don't like people being formulaic? Don't be formulaic, it seems other people don't want to either, so go case with them.
To add to the current discussion, I once tried like a month ago to be a first witness who neither found the body nor saw the murder.
My testimony was all about the opportunity and means. I had two contradictions that cast doubt on the defendant having the murder weapon and being on the scene at the time of the murder.
Both were too hard for the defense to grasp, apparently.
The reason cases are formulaic is simple: Because all the players on the server are retarded (yes, this includes me.) and the witnesses want to testify.
We have retard defenses, retard prosecutions, retarded judges, and retarded witness. All of which want the trial to go well, so we stick to a formula that's proven to work most of the time and keep the flow of the case going..
The detective gives the facts because their role is giving the facts. We have detective requests because AO lacks an investigation phase. It is not the detective's fault most players are not creative in their requests (or request asspulls to prove their half baked theories correct.)
Guess what, the majority of first witnesses find the body because that's the easiest way to cast doubt or implicate a third party.
The majority of second witnesses see the murder themselves because it is the easiest way to not be a repeat of the first witness and gives the defense a chance to indict them.
>>147058262
But then what's the fun in cases if you know exactly how things are going to fucking go?!
There used to be surprise in "Who dunnit" in AO. Nowadays we all pretty much know wit 2 did it and we move on.
>>147058956
>always play wit 1 with the potential of being indicted
>never get indicted
tfw
We are casing alright, the problem is that people just want to win instead of having a good ride
All prosecutors that complain about how people give too many chances to the defense because "hurr defense must win" are proof of this, they for some reason think this is a PvP competition between defense and prosecution. Bite me in the ass if you want but if the defense winning will be more fun and make people more likely to feel like the 5 hours they invested in the case were worth it then so be it. The opposite is also true albeit rarely.
>>147058956
>>147059049
Same deal. When I wit 1 i always set up a possibility of being the true killer.
>>147058956
Well it's just like in the fucking games, innit? It's not about knowing who did it, it's about proving they did.
>>147059141
When I complain about the defense getting too many chances, I refer to the fact that they did something stupid and didn't get penalized.
The penalty bar exists for a reason, i'm saying the judge shouldn't be afraid to tell the defense to try again and give them a penalty.
>>147059141
There's a certain level of quotient required of both witness and defense, where if the defense fails to get the thumb out of their ass, or if the witness happens to be an absolute chucklefuck, the judge or prosecution shouldn't go "well that's okay let's just give you this spoon full of food"
Not saying "Prosecution should win", but if parts of the machine are broken the rest will fucking fall apart moments after.
It's a case-by-case basis, of course, but sometimes there's just no salvaging idiocy.
Whereas, if the judge or prosecution are dumbshits, the case is basically either going to go for a 'yuh uh' vs 'nuh uh', or a stupid verdict/biased/side-taking judge.
>>147058956
>It's always wit 2
But that's wrong
>>147059431
>>147059526
No, I've seen enough prosecutors walling when the defense finds an objection and literally telling the witness who is trying to explain it with new information and progress the case "SHUT THE FUCK UP WITNESS I CAN HANDLE THIS". Then they get mad when the witness speaks anyway because "defense must always win", and this happens way too often.
>>147061246
Hence "nuh uh" vs "yuh uh" scenario.
Tbh though ace attorney trials would not work in real life. Just because one of the witnesses confesses to the crime doesn't mean the defendant gets an automatic not guilty.
After seeing a lot of people not really understand the role of prosecution, I have wrote a small bit on the subject. It's still a WIP but I think it's good enough to be viewed after getting some ingame feedback.

Tell me if you agree, disagree, think something is wrong, etc.
>>147059141
>but if the defense winning will be more fun
That's a big 'if' sometimes.
>>147061517
Very rarely times though. Very, VERY rarely.
>>147061468
Don't bother, prosecutor kiddies will shit on this because they think defense attorneys are garbage and prosecutors are the ones who should always win.
I hate how people bastardized Manfred so much, they think that being a 9-year old jackass makes you Manfred.
>>147061246
You seem to be misinterpreting what "walling" is.
If the prosecution has a solid rebuttal, using evidence against the defense's contradiction/theory, then there's literally nothing wrong with that.
The witness spitting out something immediately after you take the time to rebut makes you feel like complete shit.
>>147061981
No, their rebuttal is always "BUT CAN YOU PROVE THIS" or "OKAY BUT THAT'S IRRELEVANT DON'T ANSWER WITNESS."
>>147062145
When a gregory shits out a 5 dialog long theory hinging on no evidence, they have every right to ask for proof.
>>147062361
Are you fucking serious
This is an improv, we have no idea what is going to happen when making evidence
If a Gregory """""shits out""""" a theory tat makes sense and explains everything, but it just lacks evidence, then you fucking let the witness confirm or dismiss it instead of being a whiny little faggot.
Honestly, >>147016895 was right, thanks to people like you we can't even enjoy a Greg defense attorney anymore because people can't go further than the evidence table in the document. If they (oh my god) DARE go beyond that, they get shit on.
>>147062361
>>147062587
The witness isn't allowed to asspull you fucking idiot. They're here to explain the evidence and give the details of the area/murder.
The defense makes his theory around the evidence, not the witnesses. Look at any case in the actual game.
>>147062959
>The witness isn't allowed to asspull
You literally said this
Now think about it and cry yourself to sleep on how you don't understand this game at all.
>>147063037
Look at the top of any doc. The witness isn't allowed to asspull evidence.
When are you nigs just going to accept that Phoenix Wright was not written well
>>147063227
>look it's written on the questrial template therefore it has to be true
Yeah, no. Witnesses have been able to introduce new evidence to the court it has been several months. This "witnesses can't ever DARE bring new things to the table" rule is stupid, written by people like you who are killing this game with your no fun allowed method, and thankfully not many people follow it anymore.
>play AA
>start trial with 8 evidence pieces
>witnesses introduce like 5 others and the entire way people perceive this case turns around wildly several times
.
.
.
>play AO
>start trial with 7 evidence pieces
>2 of them are discarded by salty judges/prosecutors who think they are irrelevant
>the way people perceive the case remains the exact same from beginning to end
You may deny this as much as you want but I am on the right track here, THIS is what is wrong with this game.
>>147063537
The problem is detectives presenting all the evidence at once.
There needs to be a collection of evidence that the witnesses bring to the table, but not asspulling.
Even so, witnesses barely asspulled in the actual game. Most of what they did was add evidence to clarify other evidence, or just plain clarify other evidence.
>>147063807
>witnesses barely asspulled in the actual game
They don't even asspull in AO either. But anything is asspulling in this shit.

Phoenix bases his theory on Larry's testimony in 1-4.
Rule 1: No evidence shall be shown without the approval of the Police Department.
Rule 2: Unregistered evidence presented must be relevant to the case in trial.Rule 3: Good luck convincing people your non-approved evidence isn't forged.

Note that these rules are in the games, and therefore apply to AO as well.

The reason witness 1 never gets indicted is always because Witness 2 tries as hard as possible to be indict-able as fuck.
Look, if someone sees the murder directly happen and I, as a Defense Attorney, can't disprove their ENTIRE TESTIMONY via contradictions of some kind, I am basically forced to indict them as the killer. Because that's the only way to disprove their entire testimony, by framing it all as lies fabricated by the TRUE KILLER (tm).
The simple solution to this would be for second witness to see a struggle and the killing but not identify the murderer, but it's _always_ shit like

The way I see it there’s a few glaring issues with cases going on nowadays.
>delayed as fuck gratification meaning that middle and beginning segments are snoozefests and the only really interesting part is the end’s duel between Defense and Prosecution/True Killer
>Prosecution having little to no role for 80% of the case and especially during CE’s, meaning they jump at the chance to object for “relevans” in order to actually get to do something during the case. Without this they may as well alt+tab out of the game because CE’s themselves are boring as fuck.
>Defense being wary of relevans objections stick to the (relatively boring) facts of the case during CE that are directly related to the murder. This kills any chance of actually having interesting Attorney-Witness interactions and makes the case dry as fuck.
>Witnesses, afraid of being “useless”, make their testimonies formulaic and directly related to the murder and completely devoid of character. They bring forth no new or interesting twists or information. This means that the case at the end is the same as the case at the beginning except CTRL + R “defendant” with “true culprit”. Boring testimonies make for boring CE’s which make for boring middle and beginning segments.
All these issues are mostly intertwined because this is a multiplayer game. The way to fix this, to me, seems to be doing what we did when AOV first started: having witnesses with character that bring twists to cases, hopefully resulting in a murder with unique circumstances. Yes, even if the witnesses have to asspull, within reason. This solves the issues laid out above (continued later):
>>147084245
(continued)
>beginning and middle are livened between interactions between attorneys and witnesses during CE’s, as well as fun testimonies, making them much more palatable and less of just a buildup for the end
>Prosecution can participate in the madness with bantz and actually having to adapt their case to new information, making them more active within the trial
>Defense can explore not only facts directly related to the murder but also the strange (and probably ridiculous) circumstances surrounding the murder which makes for more fun CE’s and more entertaining shit to watch
>Witnesses can have more fun with spicing up their testimonies that don’t HAVE to be either discovering the body or seeing the murder. This leads to less formulaic cases and allows them to bring their own twist to the case. Also changes the perception of the case by the end and in general makes the pre-end-case much more entertaining to watch and participate in
Consider that cases which crash nowadays are considered a “waste”. That’s because the entire beginning and middle are just seen as buildup to the finale. This would make sure people can actually have fun before then, and result in better AO experiences. Furthermore, I’d like someone to come up with one GREAT case that ended how it began. Every single really fun case has had a twist factored in, and most of them have been ridiculous. By allowing everyone a little more leeway to bantz, asspull, and make twists you can make the entire case much more fun.
>>147084245
I want people to try and make a case out of 4 pieces of evidence and 2 witnesses.
And fucking see what happens.
You guys need to learn how to improv again.
>its a steno is a faggot who quits case
>>147064207
>>147084441
I would definitely agree. The less chance a case has to be formulaic the bigger a chance it has to be fun. If you feel like making a case like that I'd be down.
>>147084441
I'd just like to point out that we do this all the time.
>>147085456

No idea what's going on, I can't get back into the game at the moment. Is the server down?

Something went wrong. Did the game froze?
>>147084474
>Needing a dedicated steno
It's not like you can't get a replacement, or can't go without it.
This server values stenos too fucking hard, it's especially sad when you idolize people because they feel like writing down basic information, or worse, write down your 'hilarious' bantz
>>147090837
>people don't remember the old days where stenos didn't exist at all
they aren't a requirement, but anytime I say skip the steno, people get upset.
>>147091325
They're useful for catching details you might have missed and referencing back.
>>147091325
Nigger, in the "old days" we had 7-line testimonies and 4 pieces of evidence. Of course stenographers were less necessary then.
>>147091668
i'm pulling up old case docs and still see 5-8 pieces of evidence.
7 line testimonies isn't something only done back then either.
Have you confessed your love to Maggey Steno yet, anon?

You sound like an unpleasant person.
>>147094824
I saw that player try to play defense two or three times and they got blown the fuck out, so now they main steno.
The answer is: pretty damn beta.
But I appreciate them.
>>147094639
Nah man, I had to do something. No murders involved.
>>147094990
Beta? What do you mean by that?
>>147097115
What did he meme by this
Sorry, brothers...
I tried to follow the advice people posted here and make it like the old times as a witness.
And as result got skipped.
It's over... You either say "I literally saw the defendant kill the victim with this murder weapon" or they will skip you for being a "waste of time"...
I'll miss you, AO. The old days when anything would happen and there was truly no meta.
And I still hope to one day simply play with all the right people who, just like me, want to have a classic AOV case.
We should schedule a meeting in-game one day...
>>147098075
>schedule an old days case
I'm completely up for this but can we even tell what exactly separates a normal case from a "classical" case as you say?
>>147098075
You cried that the courtroom wasn't sucking your dick and then left even though they were willing to let you do whatever it is you were going to do.
>>147098075
Area 4 is showing everything that is wrong with AO in a nutshell.
>8 hours already
>>147098075
The defense was shitty, though. Nobody would be against the parrot otherwise.
>>147098483
It's literally only 8 hours because the judge sucks dick at his role.
>>147098453
How so? The parrot was supposed to be something that would last 15 minutes at max, was supposed to be pretty short, I wasn't doing it to "get my dick sucked" at all. And I left because people were arguing and fighting over such a small thing that would be over quicker than their own arguing, it just wasn't worth it. I'm also pretty sure the lead defense, judge, full prosecution bench and detective were strictly against it and showed deep disgust with the idea.
>>147098559
Rude
>>147098856
Fuck that, the adachi was being nothing but rude all case in character and out of character.
Quite a cancerous personality.

Sorry you're fucking autistic and think calling people bitches unprovoked is banter
It's not even in character, faggot.
>>147099424
How isn't it in character? Adachi calls people bitches unprovoked all the time.
>>147028856I'm still here, watching and spectating and always missing casebuilding.
But i miss old case, just with fun and no salt.
No winning or Losing, just people who where autistic enought to laugh and make joke about a situation...
Witness rolling with inter-witness contradiction.
Now witness talk with each other.
So, i decided to play the Entire AA franchise again to see what is our problem...And playing SoJ and DGS while learning runemoon when i still can't write a single understandable english sentence. Fuck meAnd even then, even in AA, the case are mostly funny, stupid thing, stupid evidence, wildcard...
Thing that are less and less common.
It's either full retard case or full serious case.
No gray area.see you IG soon i guess.
>>147098075
Everyone spent 3 hours on the first witness because the judge gave the defense too much leeway. They just weren't in the room for jokes, I guess.
>frozen playing the victim again
whew
>>147098787
in the recess everyone was ok with parrot but when we wanted to start you just left you fucking selfish prick
Why is Terminal 7 spreading over everyone here? Has Science gone too far?

>>147101159
Phoenix did literally nothing all until 1st wit was over, I'm sure that's why steno fucking quit
>>147101379
Of course there was salt. I was here since /v/ days in december.
There were salt, but it wasn't like today. People mostly rolled with everything and just had fun, OOC chat was cheering and having fun as well.
Now IC/OOC chat complain about everything, recess are just a salt mine and after case is even worst
WEW.
I think that honestly the last real fun, oldstyle case I saw was Magic Rape 1. It wasn't a generic formulaic case, and every witness had some fun memorable part. Witness 1's CE became a debate on the fluid physics of semen on bear fur, leading to the loss of Gumshoe's innocence (the witness didn't leave the stand while gumshoe was pouring jizz around either) Witness 2 literally testified about how she masturbated to the scene, yet still got cross examined and the defense bluffed successfully into the third witness, where the real drama went down.
I think the solution must be that we need to have another rape case. And the victim is going to beyour favorite girl
>>147101928

>Adachi presents the map

>being mad as fug because witnesses don't give you free not guilties
i've seen the way you play, you meme the majority of the time with 10 year old tier bants in an effort to get screenshot, and then get hung up on irrelevant BS, only to get mad when the witnesses don't play along.
despite this, i'm going to be called a cuck because >m-muh frenchie can't be flawed
So I thought of a great idea to spice this game up a bit. What if every weekend we do something different with the game play of a case by adding a random scenario to it.
Examples:
RPG court: instead of using useless things like logic and contradictions, progression is done through dice rolls. Your actions have different chances depending on what class you are. Players level up as each witness is beaten.
Time trail court: Defence has 4 hours to beat a case.
Time Traval Court: All players, except the judge must play a different version of Phoenix Wright, or Miles Edgeworth. Case should fit with this.
Hard Mode: Defence and Prosecution have only two penalties each, and there is only 3 pieces of evidence.
And that's all I can think of at the top of my head.

Underrated post tee bee aytch familia
nitekrew?
>>147104210
If it's what you think of me, i have no problem with this.
At least you said it. I really never got mad at a witness, the two only time it happened was during this clockwork case when everybody didn't knew how a clockwork work ( i was genuinely mad) and the other time because it's when a witness can't roll with an unplanned testimony.
Other time it's mostly stupid bantz just to have fun, no real harm, i don't really care about screencap or other shit just want to put a good show.
And i don't care at all about Not Guilty, i never cared about the verdict at all, in fact, i'm pretty sure i have a shitload of guilty verdict but had fun with case
Newbie here, I guess Imma try this out, love the AA series. Any tips? I'm reading the new player doc while I'm downloading.
>it's a witness doesn't answer the questions case
>>147105187
You're alright Frog. Take criticism from anonymous people with a grain of salt if you are not anonymous yourself, people tend to be bitter once they see someone else getting fame when them themselves have nothing.
>>147106001
>the judge literally asks the witness to clarify something
>takes 5 minutes to get to the point
>>147105989
People will tell you to watch a case before trying
Don't do that
It is like saying "watch chess before trying", you need to try it yourself. Watching is also kinda boring.
Avoid threads. This is a general thread, and, just like any other general, it's awful. In-game is pretty comfy and fine though.
If you want to try a big role in your first time (like a witness, lead defense/lead prosecutor, co-defense/co-prosecutor or even JUDGE) don't mention you are new or else some elitists will tell you to give up your spot and take support. Game is unfortunately plagued with some of those people. If someone tries to do that, however, just press call mod and explain the situation, mods will probably (hopefully) be on your side.
Also make sure you have at least 6 hours before engaging on a case, those can be lengthy depending on how they develop. Have fun anon
>>147106354
Thanks! So an average case usually takes about a couple of hours?
>>147106505
Yes, it can take from anywhere between 3 to 6 hours, some will last over 6 hours but those are quite rare to see.
That might sound like a lot but 6 hours feel like 15 minutes in this game. If you really don't have time you can always pick detective or support, which are roles that are not needed after the first witness (meaning you are free to go after 2 hours, support is actually never needed)
>>147106505
Yeah!
there are some guide images on op's post that you can glance over to see the basics of how each role usually plays
I'm new to the game so I don't know what people mean when they're talking about "old cases." Could someone explain? It apparently means humorous randumb cases?
>>147107206
It was when people knew they were in an autistic lawyer chatroom and didn't gave a shit about losing or winning
>>147107206
Old times when this game was just for the laughs
Anything could happen, each case was a surprise
Today it is like some competitive game and it has a meta (anything that escapes the mega is flawed upon, see the Yogi some posts above who got kicked)
>>147107435
not kicked, he left when he was gonna do a testimony which a few people didn't like, we never kicked him or anything. he is just overreacting
>>147107435
>got kicked
Are you for fucking real?
As you see, newfriend, the favorite weapon of the competitivefags is pretending they are not really competitive. It's like leftists who think they are anti-fascists while they are fascists themselves.
Bite me in the ass all you want, but there's a reason why there are so many people complaining about the current state, and it's because we have way too many people doing it wrong, see:
>>147107581
>>147107662
>>147107435
>>147107724
Were you actually there when this happened? If this is the case, why did you not call a mod when the witness was alledgedly getting ''kicked''?
>>147107724
now you're just overreacting pal, calm down

Was your brain installed backwards?
>>147107956
People sort of booed the second witness away with their complaints though.
After this case, I really think that the judge is the most important role. Then come the prosecutors. Then the defense and witnesses.

Rec room is not a circle jerk because it doesn't omit people, this reunion case shit is omitting people, notably newer players.
Bringing older case styles back is perfectly fine, but just stop with trying to reunite players from December and do cases with only them, it's the definition of a circle jerk.
Oh and don't start saying the reunion case thing was made up, just last night people in rec room wanted to do one.
>>147120324
I have no clue what the fuck you're on about with recroom, I don't go there. When I said "oldfag case" I obviously fucking meant old-styled case, anon, how do you even check if someone's an oldfag? We don't have a secret fucking password.
>>147120484
When people come into rec and case areas going on about "man remember when AO wasn't shit? Let's do a reunion case", with that quote only barely paraphrased, it's kind of obvious.
