And Sigma is robot Ten. Ten himself has been told to not interfere because of reasons, which he probably did because of the same people who made him bring in Quark. Wait, didn't I already predict something like that? Or at least someone did.

Sure, sure, the cats are getting fat off of the rats that are eating the corpses. It's not like domestic cats commonly eat parts of their late owners' faces or anything. Or maybe the food chain has something to do with the way Radical-6 spreads-- like, maybe cats can get it but rodents and birds can't. Maybe Zero III really is a rabbit.

If Phi can translate all that on the fly I have to wonder how technical or complicated the rest of the entries must have been. Also: I think we should introduce Phi to the Dangan Ronpa 2 thread.

I'd love to see a Zero Escape/Dangan Ronpa crossover. I'm not sure how it'd work, but I'd love to see it. Then again, having Monobear, Zero III, and Sigma in one game might cause the game to collapse into a pun singularity.

And vertically mirrored it looks like "SIg[ma!]", or turned 180 degrees it can look like "gis" (something you shouldn't do if you want to avoid spoilers), or in hex it's "D8" (Dio will have 8 points - he'll ally-ally!) or in binary it's "11011000" which could probably be turned into a 9/11 prophecy, or turned into ASCII it could be "Ï" which in san-serif could be a dick joke, or it can be represented as the prime factors of 2*2*2*3*3*3 which could be interpreted as 2 groups of 3 equals working together or [etc]

Much harder than I thought to find an image of a small glass vial with size references beyond just other bottles. Like I said earlier, it probably only has a few ml of a dosage in it (10 at most). I think there will be a different in-game size reference that will help it make more sense, but in the meantime this shot I grabbed (apparently from etsy) should help you get a better idea of how large it is and why the safe image annoyed me when I saw it the second time around.

Just finished catching up with this thread and finished reading the 999 LP earlier. One thought I've had on my mind this whole time is: Is it just me or does this whole 3rd Nonary Game give me weird Metal Gear Solid 2 vibes? As in, this whole thing is some weird meta-VR simulation of the previous Nonary Game to do... Something. However, this Zero Sr. doesn't really "get" the point of the second Nonary game and is using this one to fulfill some sadistic mind game in pushing peoples' buttons until they devolve into murdering each other or committing suicide. In other words, I think this Zero Sr. is basically an amateur psychotic grabbing at coattails once he (she?) discovered the existence of the previous games. That, or this game is meant to filter out the people with Radical-6 antibodies - ie, survival of the fittest (re: Sigma's observation in the last game about Species A and B). The characters in this Nonary Game seem to match up really well with the participants in the second Nonary Game (e.g. Dio's foul language and snark :: Santa or Lotus; Luna's sweet demeanor :: June; K :: Snake or Seven; unknown dead woman :: 9th man who dies immediately). Something is awfully suspicious about all of this. I smell a rat for sure. Also, definitely planning on buying a Nintendo 3DS and this game by the end of November!  [e]: Another thing: the fact that Zero/Akane had a common connection to everyone was an integral piece in the puzzle in bringing everything together and solving the mystery in 999. The developer most likely knows that previous players of 999 might be expecting this twist, so the inversion would be that this Zero Sr. actually has nothing to do with the current participants other than to fulfill a sick murder-game psychological experiment while there's nothing else to do due to the apocalypse on-going outside this bunker a la GlaDOS, so why not re-run the same game over a few million times to pass the time and have some fun? I honestly think any repeat plot devices from 999 are actually red herrings, hence the meta-VR element. [e2]: To point an example: in the previous game, Lotus was a red herring for being Zero due to how easily and willing she was to gently caress other people over to make sure at least a handful of people survived (re: the hospital bed scene in one of the story paths). She's practically asking to be labeled the murderer, but she actually is innocent. Now we expect the same with Dio. Surprise! He actually is a scummy rear end in a top hat undermining everyone else to save his own skin! So, I would automatically distrust any parallels with 999 as immediate red herrings.

VLR OST: [Placidity] Listen in: [English/Japanese] He seems to be stable, as far as I can tell. Still sleeping. I see... Mind if I have a look? Please, go ahead. "Those infected by Radical-6 eventually develop a powerful urge to commit suicide." It was so faint, I almost didn't hear it. [Music fades out] Listen in: [English/Japanese] He shifted a little, then fell silent again. It was enough, though. VLR OST: [Confession] All players please enter your votes. If no vote is recorded before the deadline has passed, any non-voting parties will automatically ally. Listen in: [English/Japanese] You two should head back. What about you? Not going. I'm worried about Quark. But you're a solo. If you don't vote... I'll automatically ally. I know. I heard the voice on the intercom just like you. What are you going to do if K and Alice vote "betray"? You know who my opponents are, right? Alice only has 1 BP left. If I picked "betray" and they chose "ally", I'd kill her. I'm not so desperate to escape that I'm gonna kill someone for it. And even if I was, I can't leave Quark behind. My vote's the same either way. All right. Take care of Quark. VLR OST: [Sinisterness] Listen in: [English/Japanese] Take a look at the doors. When we came in here before, the one on the far right was open. And that would mean...? That he went in, I guess. Exactly. Oh, um... Luna explained Tenmyouji's choice. Listen in: [English/Japanese] Right. What will you guys be choosing then. "Ally", of course. I... um... Yes. As long as Tenmyouji votes "ally", I can't choose "betray". If I do, K's BP will go up to 9. B-But what if he... forces you? Ha ha ha. You needn't worry. I would never do something so crass. Really? Of course. ...Excuse me? Alice can vote by herself. Then we don't have anything to worry about, right? ... ... ... I apologize, but I'm afraid I can't agree to that. Why not? I just can't. Shall we go, Alice? Listen in: [English/Japanese] Well, there's nothing we can do now. If K told us the truth, she'll be fine. [Music fades out] Time's almost up. Come on, Luna. R-Right! O-Okay. Right behind you! VLR OST: [Ambidexterity] [Music fades out] Listen in: [English/Japanese] I don't really have a choice, do I? There's only one thing I can do. I'm going to choose "ally". VLR OST: [Confession] Well, you never know. Just because Dio told us to ally doesn't necessarily mean he's going to pick "betray". Do you really think a jerk like that is going to choose "ally" if he doesn't have to?! No! No way! He's got 6 BP right now! If he picks "betray", then he'll have 9 points! Well, what about you? Huh? If Dio chose "ally" and we chose "betray", then you'd have 9 BP. I'm just trying to tell you that Dio is going to pick "betray"! That's who he is! And I'm trying to tell you that I've made up my mind. It's the only chance we have to get that medicine back. What makes you think he's going to give us the Axelavir even if you do what he says?! Maybe he won't, but I can guarantee that he'll destroy it if I pick "betray". That's who he is. ... I'll be pushing that button. Huh...? I snatched her by the arm and hauled backward with all my strength. Listen in: [English/Japanese] S-Sorry... Guess that was a little too hard, huh... Hey! What do you think you're doing?! You can't just throw a girl around like that! Well, you're the one who tried to trick me... B-But I...! I...! You're gonna die! Dio's going to kill you! You can't do this! ... ... ... ... Thanks... It means a lot to hear you say that, Clover. Vote here.

We should clearly punish Clover for her bad puns and just Ally. Besides, Quark is probably the only character that might never Betray us since him going unconscious seems to be a constant after the first round. We might as well save his life.

Dio's enough of a bastard to just take the cure and run. I think we need more folks to get on the betray train before Dio literally gets away with this extortion. IIRC, if he does betray, he'll have enough BP to get out of Dodge. Screw him.

Confession is a really great song. It really fits the mood of this scene and makes it even more tense than it already was. And so much for telling Tenmyouji that Dio has the Axelavir.

Why the hell are people picking Ally? That's clearly a quick death path. I'd rather keep going on any path that goes forward, rather than ends in death. I also want to see what happens if we call Dio's bluff. There is literally no reason to vote Ally beyond naive hope. If we don't enable Dio's escape, he's still stuck with us, and he can't well destroy his only leverage. Do you want to see a Game Over scene that badly?
