That's what Japanese students call their teacher, so it is technically normal. This takes place in a fictional town, if I remember correctly, just outside of Kyoto. If I really remembered that correctly, my mind is weird because that is one hell of a random detail to remember.
I see, I thought it might have been the site, it has screwed up comments in the past.
Yes, every girl has been reset so far, but there's a key factor there, every girl has been alive at the moment of the reset. The question boils down to what happens if they were able to die before that reset happens. The only two that even got close are Makoto and Wakana, both of which didn't end up dead and one specifically because she was still in the process of going through what would have killed her when the reset hit. The other, of course, was because another character got to her in time. It does bring an end in a metaphorical sense, it may just be what I've come to know as an ending clashing with that metaphorical sense. What I've come to know as being an ending specifically means gameplay stops whether you get shot back to the menu or are given a loading screen to load a previous point from.
Old Sensei may have had other students leave his class prior to the game, whether by school transfer, class transfer, or even something worse. I'm not entirely sure what the cause of the less than full class is. This does seem to support that students who die disappear and the fact that these empty desks are never mentioned does seem to support that they are forgotten in the next cycle, but that's only IF the resets have been happening since before the game. I may just not be remembering right, but I don't remember a reset before the first one in the game being mentioned.
Oh yeah, I am aware of Ayane not being a yandere. She had me fooled for a while, but it started to die down after the first beach event. I honestly didn't get the self harm sense from Noriko, I still think of her as a potential threat, but again, she seems to be dying down on that. I still don't trust her not to harm a girl she catches with player Sensei, though. Ami, oh boy, I could definitely see her killing, maybe in a brutal and graphic manner, but actually having them for dinner is a bit much. Even the queen of yanderes, Yuno Gasai, wouldn't do that, we'd just never find the victim wit her.
If it is intellectual theft, then it is still theft, so I don't see how it makes arguing against it easier.
You'd be slightly off on the theft thing in the next line, but you aren't completely off. It does hurt the store owner, but that owner has a financial agreement with the creator where the creator gets a cut of the profit from the store's sales of their product, so any loss of profit from that product, such as a successful theft of the product, would result in both being financially harmed through that agreement. The store cannot provide a portion of a profit it never received.
Totally agreed on the middleman part, it does not allow for the creator to gain from the copy being pirated.
Not exactly on the comparison part, pirates and thieves are both taking a copy of the game without the result of profit coming to the creator. As for the magic gun thing, no, copying anything without permission wouldn't be moral nor is offering free copies without permission. Then the producers of those two vehicles get none of the profit because the actual licensed dealers aren't bringing in money of which a portion would go to the producers. I've said it before, making a copy and then selling it makes the copy seller a new source of the product and pulls demand away from the actual creator.
The next part is absolutely correct, of course people are going to go to the cheapest source of a product, that's human nature. You're right, the makers would cease operations, maybe even because they can't compete with free, and the market would collapse because having these creators is what allows a particular market to thrive.
Again right on the next part, neither is less bad than the other and some people see piracy as worse. Again, physical theft does affect the creator, the only real difference is that the creator isn't as close to the theft because there's a middleman through the store being stolen from. However, they do see a loss of profit from that theft. Piracy is worse because it is coming directly out of the creator's profits, there is no middleman, every cent that is lost is directly impacting the creator instead of impacting the store as well.
Nope, "I wouldn't have bought it anyway" isn't an excuse at all, in fact, it makes the position of the pirate even worse. At least those pirates who only do it when they have no other option, like myself when I do it, had a reason behind it that can't really be mitigated.
Not really, especially after Selebus gave us his blessing.
She literally jumped right before the reset triggered, then the reset happened while she was in the air still. The real question isn't about the mental state, it's about the physical state, would they be reset if they actually died. For example, if she had actually hit the ground before the reset that saved her triggered, would she disappear or would she reset despite being dead at the time.
