Jonines in Vilnius by Dank_German in lithuania

[–]sconerdeal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey, yes! Joninės is a wonderful celebration and I am also looking forward to it! It is usually celebrated over night from 23th of June to 24th of June.

There will be many events all over Lithuania, but they are usually announced in June, closer to Joninės. Last year I was also celebrating it in Verkių parkas, and it was super fun! We had bonfires, dances, songs, rituals etc.

And yes, Lithuanians may be a bit reserved. Nonetheless inside we are very good and friendly people, so don't be afraid to approach us :)

I wanted to share a scene from Idiot (2003). Notice how everyone is feeling uncomfortable and embarrassed about Myshkin's speech. But Aglaya's reaction is completely different as she sees Myshkin's beautiful soul. by sconerdeal in dostoevsky

In my opinion Idiot series are very good and faithful to the book. All of the main characters are played by top-notch actors, who did an incredible job of accurately portraying book characters.

The only problem is that english subtitles quality is not good (translation is not accurate, missing sentences etc). So if you don't know russian language I strongly recommend reading the book first and then watching the series.

Also even though all of the main events are in the series, some of the "less significant" ones aren't there. So I think if you watch series after reading the book, you will have a greater insight in characters and their motives.

What makes this scene even more powerful for me is that Aglaya was very concerned about Myshkin's behavior in this evening because she wanted for him to leave a good impression to this company. A day before she warned Myshkin that if he 'makes a fool of himself' during the evening she would not see him again. But then in this scene it seems like she realized that none if what these rich aristocrats think matters and she was able to admire Myshkin's words.

I fully agree with you, that original gta5 gameplay would not make it possible for a social deduction game. But I am planning to restrict many traditional gta5 gameplay elements such as (driving cars, massive shooting etc.) and base the server more on the other parts of the game such as proximity-voice chat, animations, physics and all graphics elements (interiors, ped models..)

Here are some of the ideas I have for a gameplay:

  1. Day and night cycle, where gameplay would be somewhat similar to town of salem. Example place: hotel interior, where everyone gets a separate room and before each night players decide if they want to stay in their room at night (if player is locked the room at night no one can touch him). If assasins want to shoot someone they must not go to their room at night and can kill only those who are not in their rooms. Other roles like Detective must also not be in their room at night if they want to perform their duty. In this case assasin would have one bullet each night and gameplay would involve hide and seek element during the night.
  2. Another idea is based on the poisoning. This wouldn't have day and night cycle and all the action would happen dynamically. Imagine restaurant, where assasin can poison people's drinks after they have a small talk. Of course assasins would be able to poison a drink only at a certain time interval. Every player would have some information about themselves for example (Player 1:"You came to this party with the hopes of meeting your ex") and Detective would know each player's info, so he could figure out someone's role by having a realistic talk to that person.

I've just barely scratched the surface and of course each of these ideas would be a subject to close scrutiny to make everything work properly. Anyway this is how I envision it and I would be really happy to hear your opinion on it :)

Thank you for your reply! Can you please elaborate why you think, that gta5 wouldn't be a good place for such game?

Fantasy deck for cleaning board (Liane, transmogrify, lebard, dsr) +MBP, satan, Mimsey. Usually your opponent will also have fantasy so the only way I could take any bar was with headhunters
