Exactly. Either this results in a good(-ish) ending and so next time I can say "well, I did the nice thing first, time to be an rear end now," or it results in a bad one and next time I can say "well, I tried to be nice, but that didn't work."

Because change
Either the game continues or the game ends right here and now. I choose to ally, because we all know these two are COMPLETELY TRUSTWORTHY....right?

Let's ally and get this timeline over with (and then betray immediately after, get this timeline over with, and pick another spot)

Might as well ally. They're totally betraying us but Ten is an okay guy and he's thinking of Quark so I'll give him a pass. Preventing them from leaving would just lead to Clover running off giggling alone, and as it's been said we're screwed either way.

This is a situation where we're screwed either way, though. Clover's going out that door one way or another, it's just a matter of how many go with her.

We can time travel though so we won't die even if we are good people.

That depends on the nature of our time travel. If it's similar to Akane-style observations of all possible futures then technically those other universes never happened at all :colbert:

There are also hundreds of doomed alternate universe everyone else's so it really just balances it out.

So instead of thinking of the other Sigmas, we can instead think of the dozens (hundreds?) of different instances of all of our fellow game participants, each with their own consciousnesses and experiences, that we murder through nonexistence by deleting the "fake" timelines. Good people die indeed

In all seriousness I'm not sure if that's a super cool concept or a cop out idea. who's under the K-suit? Depends on the timeline... Oh poo poo maybe that's why there's no body for the old woman on some paths. that'd be loving zany.

are the codes Caesar ciphers or just random strings of letters

e: ok i put BQZ RGJ DXR into one and it said CRA SHK EYS i dont know what crash keys means

e2: number 3 LXQ LHC NMR makes MYR MID ONS

e3: why the gently caress is there a number zero bomb? apparently its LXA QNS GDQ which is MYB ROT HER

My brother, Crash, keys [something] Myrmidons? :v:
(Probably all four (or five? do we know there's not a number 4 bomb?) codes will need to be rearranged again, anyway, so I suppose guessing won't do us any good.)

That make a lot of sense actually. It's easier to remember a phrase plus an offset than 4 sets of 9 random letters. Especially if, as it appears, the offset is just +1 for each of them.
