MKG 3, also known as [insert mm here]kg, is a roleplay held in the Discord server "Despair's Peak and Hope's Students". It's a Mutual Killing Game style RP modeled after the Danganronpa franchise. Characters can come from any kind of work, and this particular KG includes characters from series like Homestuck, The Great Ace Attorney, The Adventure Zone, and more. There are a total of 20 participants (including 3 gamemasters), and it takes place over a period of roughly 5 months.
The roleplay starts as all participants wake up on the deck of a cruise ship without an understanding of they arrived there in the first place. Immediately after this, all participants are introduced to an animatronic sheep named "Ramu-Chan", and are instructed that to leave the ship, they must solve the mysteries provided to them that are currently hidden throughout the vessel. Though the game starts off peacefully, it is later revealed that one could also escape the ship if they manage to get away with murder, thus introducing the Danganronpa-style agony.
