🦜サバイバル・ゲーム! Survival Escape Game 🦜 Book club [🎒 In the desert!]

decision

So… I can’t tell if yukitanuki has read the ending yet. It would be funny if she hadn’t read the ending yet and is so close to all these messages without knowing :joy:

but yukitanuki if you have let us know! It sounds like most people will need to order the next book so once I know I’ll make a poll and we’ll choose the next book!

Summary

I’m travelling and don’t have the book with me, but when I left I read ahead of the decision and it seemed to me like it was the finale, so I didn’t take the book with me? I am a bit confused why there is another decision, maybe I misread something?

Either way, please go ahead without me!

No, worries, you made it!!! We made it!!! We officially have the whole party finished together :partying_face:

The reason there is another decision point: what I did was I made a “fake decision” because otherwise it would have been obvious right when I posted this stage’s joining poll that we had finished it (because it would be the first stage not to have a decision poll). Maybe we can think of a solution for that next time? Or I might do that next time anyway, because although there is no decision, there are still scenes 108-113 that follow to read (technically Stage O), making it the most wordy “stage” of the whole book! I’m still only on 109, lol.

So that means we all made it together, WOW!! I’m so impressed. Has a book club every finished with all members???

I’ll make a poll later to choose the next book!

Ohh I just realized while you were answering! When I left 102 had like 4 or 5 votes, so I was sure it would win, so I read that one and finished it and when I checked a few days later and there was another decision I was a bit confused and thought I maybe read the wrong decision, but mostly because I didn’t read everything in detail because I was busy traveling between countries! I also didn’t realize there were as many dropdowns inside your dropdown, maybe because I looked at it on my phone??? Either way I don’t think what you did was a bad solution, I just didn’t get it because I was so busy!!

Thanks for hosting @mitrac , this was one of the most well hosted clubs I’ve ever experienced! Especially since you put so much care into figuring out how to make the decision based run as fun as possible!! In my opinion it worked really well and was a lot of fun. I was also looking forward to your little introductions every week that lead up to the next decision. :smiley:

I don’t think I will join for another book right away, but maybe sometime in the future. :star2:

Thanks so much!!! I’m so glad you enjoyed it so much :star_struck: I’m really grateful you spoke up on my blog that you wanted to read it and suggested making a club. This has just been so fun.

I’m so glad you managed to read to the end before your trip so that you could take part in the successful finish celebration!! We’ll do the next book on another thread, so if you leave this one on watching it won’t be too annoyingly busy and you’ll get notifications for polls for all the future clubs if we do them all. :star2:

Party members :cowboy_hat_face: sought for new adventure :paw_prints:

:parrot: Book 1 Adventure Report :parrot:

After a 3 month trek through the Amazon, we emerge victorious! :trophy:
All party members survived, and even as we put up our feet to rest :tropical_drink: we began to dream… of a new adventure!

New members are welcome!

These are independent books, so you can join for just one or any book, you don’t have to have read the first book. See the home post for how this club works.

Timing:

The poll will run for a week until June 1st, and then we will allow time for everyone to order physical copies before starting. Estimated start could therefore be mid to end July. We can run a poll for that after getting orders in.

Would you like to join the next Survival Escape Game party? Let’s choose our next adventure! You may vote multiple times.
  • 灼熱の砂漠 The scorching desert :two_hump_camel:
  • 極寒の雪山 Cold and snowy mountains :snowflake:
  • 太平洋 Pacific ocean :whale:
  • サバンナ The Savannah :zebra:

This will be fun, new party members!

@Otoko68 are you joining the next book? You can break the tie in the poll above if you like :smile: otherwise I’ll do that before closing the poll this weekend :boom:

So be it! Feel bad about breaking the tie but somehow went for the choice that seemed farthest away from the Jungle - curious to see what new dangers might arise…

Poll results: :snowflake: 極寒の雪山 :snowflake: Cold and snowy mountains wins!

A unanimous choice to get some cool relief :snowman: from the summer… but will we escape before… :cold_face: ぞくぞく… ブルブル…

There’s only one way to find out - order your books now!


Amazon JP
CD Japan (sold out when I checked, but worth looking)
Kinokuniya JP
Rakuten
Or find a local dealer :slight_smile:

I will set up a new thread as soon as I get a chance! Come prepared :coat:

I’m guessing we’ll start around mid-July when everyone’s books come in! Anyone else lurking who didn’t vote - it’s not too late to get your book and join :mountain:

Wow only now I realize that these books are actually translations and originally in English :see_no_evil: for some reason I never noticed that the author name is in Katakana. So if anyone wants to do some parallel reading, you could get the original version next to it I guess :laughing:

I’ve just checked (and ordered), and they are only avalaible on Amazon JP.

:sweat_smile: I think I may have only caught that on the copyright page after it arrived and then I forgot. Great idea for the parallel reading

that went fast…

Edit, tried to order and failed

I tried resurrecting my amazon.jp account while logged in through a VPN. I thought I was through after the password and phone check that led to… a puzzle!? Select the chicken. OMG, nothing looked like a chicken, but after looking through everything again with SO we figured out what looked like a dinner plate with steak and eggs was actually - a chicken. Anyway. That still didn’t work. So I’ll see if my EU dealer (Verasia) can help. :crossed_fingers:

Ordered mine from amazon jp! Will we continue reading in this thread?

@Otoko68 thanks so much! I’ll try again, and see if verasia can help, otherwise I’ll take you up on that!

I was thinking of a new thread for each volume? Does that sound good?

Makes sense!

I made a new account and managed an order from Amazon! But it seems I bought the last available copy :open_mouth: I have seen the desert one go in and out of stock in the past, though, so fingers crossed if everyone hasn’t bought it yet, that this one will come back in stock.

4 Likes

I’m also in favor of one thread by book (yeah I’m late :sweat_smile:).

My book should arrive around June the 6th, or so said the order receipt.

Hello! I’m here after a long time! I was feeling super lazy, so I ended up procrastinating ahah. I forgot to thank @mitrac for being an amazing host and for putting up interesting and fun threads every week or so. We really appreciate it! :bowing_man:

I’m looking forward to reading the next book with you all. Seems like we’ll have more people joining us this time as well!

Also, I think a new thread for each volume sounds good! I’m planning to buy two books at the same time to avoid the shipping costs, but we’ll see :eyes:
