DormWars, either the first or second I think. Probably the first, they have a competition in his house - in which Noriko competes with Ami (?).
Well, Noriko drugs Akira, I don't exactly recall for what purpose, maybe to fall asleep (?). Anyway, iirc it was during the time we all had thoughts about Noriko being a deranged stalker, and that really didn't help her case.
The bizarre things is, you can say that Noriko won even after drugging him. Weird moment, although, granted, Akira will reprimand her either way. It's just... I don't know, maybe I'm sensitive to it, I'd never talk to someone that did that to me again (even if they did it as a joke and were "safe" about it - there's no such thing).
So if either sensei nor girls never figure out the resets, why were Ami going on killing spree? Alt Maya said all sensei fuck Ami and some erandom interest. Isin't this Ami's happy ending?
Does her happy ending needs Sekai to exist?

Maya does suggest that as a possibility, but I can't really see it happening when the importance of the scarf comes from before the resets, not anything specific to Maya Prime. Plus, the very fact that she suggested it makes it unlikely that it will work, nothing in this story is that easy.
I do imagine the scarf will have some importance (beyond symbolizing that Ayane is Maya's replacement), but it's hard to say what it will be before we find out what happened to New Maya. If Ayane's memory has been altered to think she's always had the scarf, does that mean New Maya's will be altered to forget it? If so, what else has she forgotten?
I guess it's possible that New Maya will recognize the scarf and that talking to Ayane about it will be the impetus for her to remember the alternate timeline, but again that seems like too convenient of an outcome.
Agreed on Yumi, she got some good character development. Whether she remembers it or not (I'm guessing she does subconsciously), it's still good for the narrative. The HOPE stuff was obviously interesting but could have happened in any timeline. The Ayane/Maya scenes were what I specifically didn't like, it was just a waste to send Ayane to a "Maya Prime" timeline and have so little come of it. Maya leaving before the reset is interesting, but we got so little information about it that it seems impossible to figure out why.
Now that you point it out, this is really interesting. I'm pretty sure that Maya Prime implied that the fake Senseis who survived resets did so by making it to the roof, most of them just died on the first attempt. She certainly wasn't surprised when real Sensei made it during the first reset, even though she (supposedly) thought he's a fake. She also told him what was going on and wasn't surprised when he retained those memories past the reset. So it definitely seems like some fake Senseis knew about the resets at least for a brief time. So in "Suffer the Same" maybe she's just saying that it's been a while since there was a successful fake Sensei?
But that doesn't work for the Ayane timeline. The football-loving Sensei has survived four resets, something that literally no fake Senseis have done in the main timeline according to Maya Prime. If he doesn't make it to the roof, how does he survive? And if he does make it, why doesn't he know about the resets?

Maybe he does know. But in this timeline he doesn't have memories of Maya and not even interested in her, so he never interacted with Maya about reset stuff, etc. And who knows, maybe he has another shelter, like, Yasu's church or something totally different.

Please don't. There is nothing more boring on the planet than Mary Sue and her events.

Incorrect.
There is nothing more beautiful on the planet than Mary Sue and her events.
Unfortunately, we have to wait 0.48...

I think your new profile picture is more beautiful
Maybe he's just getting soft rebooted. The resets only get rid of memories that make you aware of the resets for everyone else, why not him?

Thanks. I’d forgotten that.
Yeah—I don’t think I’d ever trust that person again, never mind forgive them.

Do any of you think we may have reached a Death of the Author situation already with this game?
Have we/you, constantly crafting theories by trying to guess where Sel is taking the story, possibly created an interpretation we consider to be superior than Sel's original intent? I think it's important to note that while Sel writes with good prose, it's not necessarily given that he's a great author nor story creator. I'm not saying he isn't, but I think it's important to remember he's just one person, who is fallible, and is literally writing a story on a month-to-month basis, where any number of decisions can be made that change the plot trajectory based on his whims.
I'm just curious to see if anyone else thinks we may have reached a point where our interpretation of the story and its symbolism exceeds that which Sel wrote it with.

Well, I still believe he is creating the lore, looking back at theories here or lilcord. Then he is either approving or disapproving these theories. Just like Scott Cawthon did with FNAF series, which is literally build on fan theories. Basically the creator putting just a basis for fans, letting them overthink the story

I think no matter what happens to Selly, the game is in good hands.
The facilities for LiL to be continued are there

Meh, honestly, the theories here are really cool and reading them is definitely one of my favorite parts of this thread, but even so, I'm interested in Selebus's story and his vision most of all. He has all of us coming back each month for a reason, even now.
Has he made questionable decisions in his writing before? Sure. Have certain theories on here been superior to what actually occurred in the game itself? Also yes.
But this game is only as complicated as one makes it.

Let Sel cook. Who knows what awaits us in future updates that we just have yet to understand? As it currently stands, we have an incomplete puzzle. Until it's completed, let's see where the story takes us.
.......
On another note, but one that sort of relates to this, I've seen a lot of backlash towards the Ami and Maya rape scene in the latest update. People are even calling it NTR, which... I mean is it, though? New Maya certainly comes to enjoy it towards the end, but as someone else pointed out, I believe it was more of a defense mechanism, given her situation.
What could Maya have done there? Continue talking back to Ami and piss her off to the point that she gets killed? Stay silent when that seems very much impossible?
When Fight and Flight are no longer options, what do you do? What's left? You give your aggressor what they want and hope you live to see another day. Nothing else makes sense.
And hell, we now know that Maya Prime got it on with Ami in past realities too. Does that mean Maya cucked us off-screen as well?
Maybe I'm just not seeing it... I agree it was an uncomfortable scene, but I dunno if I'd call it NTR.
If anything, the porn you can watch on your computer during the "Times New Roman" reset puzzle was much worse, since it involved random men. That's some AU cucking if I've ever seen it.

As a NTR hater it's not NTR. NTR is when Yumi tells you that she feels a connection between you and her, but she's not ready to have sex with you and instead finds the Takoyaki stand owner to have sex with instead. Psycho Ami is just a rapist.

I don't really think you can have a death of the author situation whilst the work is still being written... maybe if he dropped it or died or started screwing it all up. Even in those situations, i personally am not the kind to lean that way, anyone can write fanfiction, only the author can write their story to their truest intent and that's the version i prefer in almost all cases. It's exceptionally rare for me to think my personal headcanon is superior to the original story.
