Class Trial

A Class Trial is an event that occurs in all Danganronpa-style killing games, though it may go by a different name depending on the preferences of the game master and the context of the story. All Neo Danganronpa trials are called "Class Trials" in-universe.
==Format==
===Investigation===
After a murder is committed, surviving players are given a set time during which they can conduct an investigation of the crime. Various clues as to the culprit may be hidden throughout the map.
===Trial===
After a period of investigation, players are directed to the Trial Grounds. These setups mirror those shown in the canon Danganronpa games. A set of podiums are arranged in a circle, with each student assigned to a specific podium where they remain for the duration of the trial. Monokuma typically sits on a throne. The podiums assigned to deceased students feature a framed black and white portrait of the deceased, each with a red X over their face.
Once they are assembled, Monokuma explains the rules of the trial. Students may debate and offer evidence to try and discover who the culprit (or "blackened") is. Once the debate has finished, students will vote. If the majority of students vote for the blackened, that student will be executed. However, if the wrong student is selected, the blackened will be released from the killing game while the rest of the students are executed.
Class Trials typically run from an hour to three hours, depending on the case. To vote, players send the game master a direct message with the name of the character they wish to vote for. Once all votes have been cast, Monokuma reveals the results and informs the class if they voted correctly or not.
====Incorrect Voting====
In the event that the wrong culprit is chosen, the game master may decide what course to take. In Trial 2 of Neo Danganronpa 55, the class incorrectly voted for [REDACTED] as the blackened when the true culprit was [REDACTED]. When this occurred, [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] were both allowed to graduate from the killing game in accordance with that chapter's motive, while the remaining students were allowed to live, with the caveat that they had to vote for one innocent student to be executed. They chose Dante.
In other circumstances, the game master might choose to write out an alternate universe in which the blackened is freed while the rest of the class is executed, then reset the game prior to the vote. Students will then continue debating and vote again.
===Execution===
After the vote, students will speak for a short period of time. Usually, the blackened will explain their actions, and other characters will express their feelings about the crime, victim, and/or culprit. Once this is finished, the blackened will be taken from the room and an execution will take place.
