Welcome to the Cave of Dragonflies guestbook.
Minor nitpick: The report errors page has a hyphen instead of a dash.
Congratulations on 18 years. I have been visiting your website since the beginning. Pokémon was my first fandom and this website has been a huge part of that experience. Thank you.
The page appeared when I was clicking on the ¨featured section¨ tab for a random page.
As you may notice, that page is not actually on the menu today, for that reason! You can see the count in the older styles, which do link to that page.
If there's a link to this page somewhere today, it probably shouldn't be there.
https://www.dragonflycave.com/front-page-hits
states that there is some place in each page which gives the number of front page hits. However, I am unable to find that place. Where is it located?
Just was looking at the legacy updates and saw that you were an IMO participant. Very Impressive!
That character bio is about the fanfics that Sutoraiku High is a kind of high school AU of; the characters are essentially the same characters, but things played out quite differently there, and what happens in the fanfics is not canon to Sutoraiku High at all (or vice versa). The fanfics in question were written in 2006/7 and are not very good; at this point I suggest you don't read them.
If you only hang out with Nightmare (or Sickle), you get the ending where you run off with Nightmare and Sickle. From Nightmare's POV, she'd be happiest with the ending where you've hung out with Shadowdart and they work together to depose the Leader. She would also prefer the endings where Razor and Stormblade join you over the one where the three of you leave alone. I'm not sure if you've gotten one of those. (There are technically two of them, one where Razor apologizes to Shadowdart first and one where he doesn't, but they both end with the same dialogue, so they appear as the same ending in the graph.)
You don't actually have any kind of romance with Shadowdart if you hit on him that first time, so it's not actually a romance flag; the actual romance flag for Shadowdart, on day three, does indeed not affect which ending you get, only some lines in it. I admit that is something that may confuse players, though, since if you're playing with the intention of staying strictly platonic, you may never try that option and never find out it isn't actually a romance flag.
In addition, looking at
¨- You can romance all of your fellow students, but there is always also an option not to, and while romancing someone will affect some dialogue, it will not affect what actual ending you get. This is an on-brand Butterfree game.¨
However, I was under the impression that one cannot get the ¨shadowdart rage¨ ending if the player romances Shadowdart, because after that Shadowdart kicks out the player. Am I missing something?
The two razor apology ones that I have are the one where shadowdart says ¨Leave¨ and the one when shadowdart talks about H putting Razor up to this.
Also, is this what would have happened after the ¨Shadowdart rage¨ ending? It seems interesting, considering that that was the first ending that I got.
In your tumblr, you said, ¨(and also Nightmare would actually prefer multiple of the other endings over the one you end up with if you fixate on her, just saying, do it for her if not for me)¨
I'm assuming that the ending that happens if you fixate on Nightmare is the ¨Nightmare-Shadowdart¨ collusion one which involved Shadowdart leaving. Which endings were better for Nightmare than that one? Were they the ones that I haven't gotten, as the majority of the other ones that I've gotten involve Nightmare leaving.
The one I'd call gloomiest is the one you're presumably calling "Shadowdart rage".
There are a few different endings where Razor apologizes to Shadowdart, with somewhat different results and leadup. I suspect you're missing one of them, although your descriptions are vague so it's hard to tell.
So there are 7 different endings? Interesting… So far, I've got the true apology, the not-accepted apology, Shadowdart rage, Nightmare-shadowdart collusion, and Nightmare escape. I suspect that the remaining endings were on the Stormblade path. Was any of the ones I mentioned the most gloomy ending? Which one?
A red arrow from A to B means that doing A is a prerequisite for doing B; a dotted (gray) arrow from A to B means that having done A affects some lines of dialogue in B. (This unfortunately doesn't convey all the information; for instance, if two red arrows are pointing towards the same node, the graph doesn't show whether you need to have done both of those things or just either.)
The convergence at the end is just the "THE END" screen!
Looking at your tumblr https://antialiasis.tumblr.com/image/614432850559860736
there seems to be this chart. What do the grey lines mean and what do the red lines mean? WHy does everything converge at one point?
Huge congratulations on 18 years! That is indeed amazing :D
Not exactly. There is one that's probably definitively the gloomiest, but not because it's a designated "bad ending" as such. The endings aren't organized on any good/bad scale. They're just different.
Interesting. Is there supposed to be a bad ending?
There is not a golden ending.
In Sutoraiku High, is there meant to be a ¨golden ending¨? Most of the endings I got were somewhat bittersweet, with the happiest ones either being the one where the leader is overthrown (but shadowdart leaves) or the one where Razor reconciles to ShadowDart and ShadowDart accepts the apology.

Do you have spoilers enabled?
(Also, did you go multiple rounds? Because of how the picker works, if a few new Pokémon are added, you may not actually see them until they've been reshuffled in the next round.)
