Well, this is a new concept to DOA. The game creators must have thought outside the cubical and realized that after you give a gift to someone in the real world, there is nothing stopping someone from taking that present and giving it to someone else. There was many skits on Japanese & Korean TV shows and movies (like Sasae-san) of this ritual.

So call me Canadian, I can't stand the idea of having to throw away things, even in a virtual way like in this game. After all, I am finding that every time I start a new vacation, on day one I am doing 2 things. First thing is I am throwing out all the stupid love items that was spammed to me in the previous vacation in order to gift a slutty suit. The second thing is rushing to Zack's to buy more gifts to spam my partner and my next victim.

So, I thought, WHY in the hell am I throwing the shit out, when I can re-wrap it and re-gift it and pass the buck to my next victim. hahahha!

Thus, I have compiled all the items into a Excel sheet, with each of the girls across the top. I have given the love items a score of 2, and the like items a score of 1. You can sort this spreadsheet now in different ways to give you different results.

Sorting methods

• Sorting by column A, will give you the list of items in alphabetical order. Looking across a row will show you who you can give the item to. Somethings are not liked by some people for example Tomato Juice is only loved by Christie and liked by Ayane. So if you are playing Christie and you have a bunch of open juice, you can re-wrap it and give it Ayane (and visa versa).
• Sorting by column B, secondary field column A; will give you the love/like items for the character Ayane. Looking on this list, will also give you a list of who you pass off Ayane's gifts too. For example, when you are playing Ayane you will probably have many opened Parasols, pinwheels and stuff like that. Now you can see that if you have a Japanese Parasol, you can pass it off to Helena (like item), or Kokoro (love item). Sorting this way also shows you whose love/like items you will most likely have and possibly determine who your next victim will be. For example, if you play Helena, you are more likely to have items for Kasumi (17 items) and Lisa (14 items), and not Tina (6 items) and less likely for Kokoro (9 items). For example: If you are playing Kasumi, then Helena (17 items) and Lisa (15 items) are your logical choices for re-gifting victims where Tina (8 items) and Hitomi/Ayane (9 items) are less likely.
• As a tip, you might want to print the sorted sheets out; and use highlighters or pencil crayons or felt pens to colour code your chart to make it easier to cross reference.
