Let's Play TMGS 3rd Story: Poke ALL the boys!

So now that I can finally create new threads, let's get this started!

Notes:
- Obviously, I'll be translating as I go along. I tend to suffer from something known as overly literal translation at times, so please bear with me if that happens.
- I've seen Tewi's LP, but haven't actually read through it, so my translation is likely going to be wildly different from hers.
- This is my first LP, so I really have no idea what I'm doing most of the time.

Now, the love interests:


Sakurai Ruka
His bright and mischevious personality makes him popular with girls. He left home and is now living together with his older brother, Kouichi. Although he always acts lighthearted, he will occasionally show a lonely expression. His favorite item is hotcakes.



Sakurai Kouichi
Ruka's older brother. Has a nihilistic, blunt personality. People are scared of him because he often gets into fights, but he actually has a strong sense of morals and a kinder side. He likes vintage things too. His favorite item is bikes.



Konno Tamao
Your senior by 1 year, and the president of Habataki High's student Council. With his warm, refreshing personality and his knowing image, he is rather popular. The students trust him to take care of them well. He has a sister who graduated from Habataki High.
(remember Tamami from TMGS 1? （＾ω＾）)



Shitara Seiji
Your senior by one year. He comes from an upper class family, and is rather rich. He is usually quite gentlemanly, but will occasionally show a more crudely speaking side. He has an air of excellence, and is good at piano.



Niina Junpei
Your junior by 1 year. He likes trendy things. His bright personality often sets the mood, so he has plenty of friends. He is a big fan of a certain model who came from Habataki City.
(Again, remember Hazuki from TMGS 1? （＾ω＾）)



Fujiyama Arashi
A traditional Japanese who has a manly air of reliability. He mainly comes into contact with other people at sports meets and the like. He likes judo, and is rather strong. He is the type who can always break things down into their main points, but he can be airheaded about some things too...?

I refuse to play any of the secret character's routes, mostly because they are boring and don't make for a very good LP. Except maybe Taira, but I'm playing on a clean save here so he'll have to wait. tl;dr - no secret characters.

Anyway, voting time! Just answer these questions:
1) Which of the above boys should I go after? (I really don't want to do the Tamao/Seiji 3P since Tewi's doing it though)
2) 3P, PvP, or solo?
3) Should I attempt to show off all the ADV events as well?

ADV Table of Contents
Ruka
Hide and Seek ~ Sakura Garden ~ Her

1) KOUICHI.

or Junpei. I really want to see Kouchi, though. :<

2) I'm okay with solo or 3P, but very much against PvP.

3) Very much yes, if you don't mind doing it!

1) Niina Junpei
2) Solo, but I'm cool with 3P too; like Joie de Combat, my only real preference with this is no PVP.
3) Sure (:

1.) Junpei
2.) 3P preference, solo okay, big fat no on PvP
3.) Sure

Just a question, is this the PSP version? If so, I vote Devil personality!

1) Junpei
2) Solo
3) Yes!

1) Kouichi!
2) Solo
3) Ok!

1) Junpei <3333333
2) solo
3) sure~

1) Junpei. First TM shota character that doesn't make me cringe!
2) Solo, but I'm not against 3p either. I've heard Junpei and Arashi's isn't as awkwardicious as Seiji and Tamao's.
3) Do you really need to ask? ;) Of course, if it isn't too much trouble.

1) Konno Tamao
2) Solo or 3P
3) Yes

1) Junpei <3 adorable baby
2) 3P, cause Arashi's cute too~
3) If you don't mind, go for it! :D

Yay, someone else is LP'ing TGMS3! I sort of dropped it since I was too busy with other things, so am excited for another route!

1) I'd go for Arashi, because I'm not sure why everyone likes him so much and thus I'm probably not going to play his route.

2) I like 3P (I don't mind Junpei - he seems like a fun guy)

3) Yes please!

1)Kouichi or Junpei
2)Solo (becasue somehow I feel very guilty with the other 2 modes)
3)please do!

Thanks fo LP'ing this!

1: Kouichi
2: Solo
3: Sure!

I'm excited to see how this turns out :).

1. Junpei
2. 3P, but solo is cool too!
3. Yes please :)

Oops, forgot to ask the 4th question: Name the protagonist!

Or I could just go with my original plan of naming her Oogami Sakura, because the mental image is simply hilarious.

...Oogami Sakura, you say?

I'm suddenly both howling with laughter and really looking forward to this LP. SakuraxJunpei OTP forever.

I was initially going to vote for Victor Hugo, but on second thought, Sakura X Junpei is hilarious.

1) Ruka / Junpei
2) solo
3) yes

Name: Oogami Sakura is fine :D

FUCK YEAH I STILL GET DIBS ON SECRET CHARACTERS AND PVP MODE AW YEAH!

I-I mean.

1) JUNPEI
2) Solo
3) Yes.

Also, let's go with Sakura!

1) NIIIIIIINAAAAAA
2) Solo
3) Yes

1) Niina
2)..Not quite sure what this means.
3)Yes,please.

Read the opening post on the TMGS3 thread Tewi made, it explains it in great detail!

Solo: focusing exclusively on one guy. 3P: dating two guys who are friends with each other (in set pairs: Junpei's opposite number is Arashi). PvP: "pride versus pride," dating two guys and turning their friendship into a rivalry over the protagonist's affection.

Or as I like to call it, Painful, Very Painful.

Hence why I'll be LPing that one day!

1. No preference, throw it to whoever is winning.
2. Solo
3. Yes

Sakura is fine with me.

I have to applaud you on your level of masochism. I can only hope to reach your level some day. That being said, I will follow that thread with a bottle of wine next to me.

Hey, if I'm planning on playing the Yandere Heaven Game, PvP is going to be a cakewalk.

Why would you do that to yourself I'm looking forward to this <3

Sakurai Kouichi......
I really don't care about the other things...
I'm new! Love your LPs everybody!

First. Crowned. M. That is all. And glad to hear it. <3 First order of business: Romancing the Nurse. Who has long hair and glasses. Yep.

Welcome, Blue Licious! Glad to see you chose one of the saner threads to join our ranks. We hope you'll ease yourself within our ranks through fluff and cheer instead of the mind boggling and scarring content of some of the other things lurking within our forum. I'm sorry if I chased you off, we're all friendly and nice people! Really!

Ruka / Kouichii (hotcakes and bikes)
3P
Okay

Welcome Blue Licious

(see? sane!)

That sounds like the safest choice, no way it could end badly.

Hahahaha, yeah...I'm new in the forum...but I know you all soo well... because I've stalked you.......Oh jeez, so many alerts! *-*

1) Kouichi
2) Solo
3) Sure, why not.

Finally a TM thread that's not in the double digits when I find it.

Current votes:

Junpei: 13
Kouichi: 7
Ruka: 2
Tamao: 1
Arashi: 1
Seiji: 0 (｡･ﾟ･(ﾉД`)ヾ(ﾟДﾟ ) there there)

Solo it is then. Much easier for me to play too, haha.

Random fact of the day: Oogami isn't one of the surnames the game can pronounce, so I get to hear the boys call her Kami-san all the time instead.（＾ω＾）

1. Konno Tamao my baby why is he not popular /sobs
2. Solo, is it then?
3. Yes, please :3

Are you playing the PSP version or the DS version? Just asking :D in case I missed something like always

Probably because the other LP is doing his and Seiji's 3P route. I assume that's why Seiji's votes are so low as well.

Seeing as Seiji had an overwhelming amount of votes in the other thread, most likely.

And no one's voting for Ruka because, well, look at him. The boy has a bad case of Crazy Eyes.

Seriously, in almost all the CGs I've seen of him, he looks unhinged.

Why, hello there.
