HydroSphere: Since we're getting close to the end of the chapter, what's your plan for this LP considering the rest of Chapter 3 Part 1 still hasn't been finished?

My preference would be to move onto Your Time to Shine, but I can see why people would prefer 3-1A, so I'll take a vote after this chapter.

What's Your Time To Shine? Is it, like... Another game from the same studio, or something?

If I recall, Chapter 3, Part One Section B is not too far away from release, so I think it would be best to do Your Time To Shine between 31B and 32, as that is likely to be a much longer wait.

"Then she looked at the phone... "Seeing her sister's words calmed her heart. "This whole time... Kanna had just kept betraying... "Her sister... the others... Sara... "She just had a feeling that Sou had sent the Sacrifice to Sara... "Kanna... doesn't get the complicated trade talk... She can't even reason out who gave who what... "Even so... she was certain of just one thing... (Kanna...) "Kanna... Kanna...!! "She didn't want to let Sara die...!! "And also...!! "...!! "That seemed more painful than her own death...

She's lying to try and confuse us, meow!! Well... Maybe Kanna just messed up who she was trading with or somethin'?!  "It was machine error! Maybe the tablet broke and the trade went wrong?!

The truth can be very simple!Extract statement from Nao. "Don't tell me... I wonder if Sou hacked the role cards themselves...?! This might be an absurd opinion, but... Sou was spending his remaining time messing with the laptop in the Winner's Room, right?! I wonder, did he hack the card data then?! (Is that even possible...?!) Because... I mean...! (Someone who could cause an irregularity...?)Extract statement from Gin. "I can't believe bucket girl, woof! She's lying to try and confuse us, meow!! She's been betraying us over and over, meow... She's even less trustworthy than the loner, woof! Don't trust bucket girl, big sis Sara!Extract statement from Sou. ......... (Sou is hardly saying anything... I can't read his thoughts!)Extract statement from Q-taro. Well... Maybe Kanna just messed up who she was trading with or somethin'?! I dunno how the Ring-Up Boxes work, but... If you're just sayin' names into the receiver, there could be mistakes! And yet my Sacrifice definitely moved! Urk...! If it ain't Kanna's mistake, then... Gashu... changed the trade...? Wasn't Miley talkin' about some transgression of Gashu's jus' before the Main Game?! (
!!)Extract statement from Keiji. Some unique situation that caused the role to just disappear? Is that possible, I wonder... Maybe the influence of Sou's hacking extended to the role data or something... Some nice evidence would make that a whole lot more convincing... Too bad.Conflict Nao against Q-taro. Music stops. "There was a possibility... Something separate from Sou's hacking... And an irregularity that definitely occurred...!   "Eh...?! "Excuse MEEEEeeeeEEEE?!

"If you cannot prove it, you will only be losing time to spend on other reasoning...Music stops. (It's okay. This new possibility we've spun... This theory... wasn't being directed at Gashu!!) "...!!

"Perhaps he sent the Sacrifice toward someone who he wanted to kill... "Or else, you think there was somebody who Gashu didn't want to die?! "Is there an answer in the clues we have left...?! "There's a fundamental issue... Maybe the Sacrifice wasn't actually sent to anybody?Extract statement from Alice. "Perhaps he sent the Sacrifice toward someone who he wanted to kill... Think about it... Gashu has plenty of reason to hold a grudge toward him By formulating an escape plan... he trampled on his honour as a Floor Master! You're talking about...! Sou Hiyoriiiiiiiii!! ...!!Extract statement from Sou. Gashu had something to gain from tampering with the trade...! It's out there, but... Maybe in reality, Gashu's an ally. Like he wanted this to be exposed, so he could put a stop to the Main Game... Is that... too unthinkable?Extract statement from Q-taro. "Or else, you think there was somebody who Gashu didn't want to die?! "The person with the Sacrifice is real likely to die... That's why Gashu meddled!" "Like "I don't want them to die, so I'll move the Sacrifice to somebody else! Who's them here...? That's obvious! The person who'd normally end up having the Sacrifice...! Kanna!! (
!!)Extract statement from Keiji. "There's a fundamental issue... Maybe the Sacrifice wasn't actually sent to anybody? So Gashu's transgression was making the Sacrifice vanish.. Seems unthinkable, sure... But it's just one possibility. Extract statement from Kanna. "Is there an answer in the clues we have left...?! Out of all the evidence we've seen so far, is there anything related to this transgression?! No... None of the evidence... That's what I thought... We've discussed all of the evidence already.. Unless there's some new evidence that hasn't come up in discussion. I don't see any leads... (Some yet unused evidence...)Show Four Papers to Kanna. Music stops.    ...? It looks kind of familiar... "That's just like the torn-up paper I found on the first floor, meow!! (Though... What use could this have?) (Eh...?)  (Internal documents?!) "Gashu! Just what is this roster?! "...! "Hahaha... What indeed... (Urk! He caught on to the fact I don't know what this means...) "...You did good, Sara. "Huh...? "Whatever could you mean...  (What meaning could these papers have...? I can't even guess! But...) "There's value in solving this mystery...!! "We ain't got time!! Let's thoroughly talk out anything suspicious about this roster!! "There are four bound sheets... And four names on each sheet! "'Sides our names, there's a buncha names I've never even heard...! "Huh...? This roster doesn't seem to be sorted by name.  "A roster...? It's reminding me of something, meow... "If you want to look closer at the roster, tell Mr. Policeman and we'll look at it together.Extract statement from Nao. "Huh...? This roster doesn't seem to be sorted by name. Look at this...! The names are sorted by percentage! Aaah, how creepy... What sort of ratio are these numbers supposed to represent...? (These numbers are clearly out of place... Might they hold the key to solving this?)Extract statement from Gin. "A roster...? It's reminding me of something, meow... Roster... roster... Ahh!! I remember it, meow!! The bar on the first floor, woof! There was a list of names on the blackboard, meow!! Now that you mention it, that was a roster too... But I couldn't possibly recall everyone's name... I memorised it, meow!! Huh?! Err...  That's amazing, Gin!! Easier than learning the prefectures of Japan, meow! (This is important information...!) Ehehe... Was I useful, meow?Extract statement from Kanna. "There are four bound sheets... And four names on each sheet! Who would have made this roster, I wonder... Probably Miley... It's what Gashu's reaction seemed to indicate, too. Um... Is there no followup to these sheets? Followup...? No, there wasn't anything else... I-Is that so... Sorry.Extract statement from Q-taro. "'Sides our names, there's a buncha names I've never even heard...! "Were these people who died in the First Trial before they could meet us?! "That might be it... "How many people these kidnappers gotta kill 'til they're satisfied?! "...Nah, now's not the time to get emotional...Extract statement from Sou. Hold on a sec... There are participants whose names aren't on this, huh? ...What are you trying to say?  (Four of us...?)Conflict Gin against Sou. Music stops. "Sou... What did you just say? "Huh? That there are four people's names missing... "...Meow? Kai, Sou, Kugie, Joe, and Nao aren't listed, so... "Huh? That's five, woof. "...! "Sara, this ain't the time to be poking at little mistakes like that, awright?! "No... That mistake wasn't just a trivial issue. Why did Sou get it wrong? That's what's important. "Gashu, tell us how many participants were dragged into the Death Game. "...That would be 20. "There are 16 listed on the roster. "If we add an unlisted 5... Doesn't that come to 21 people?!Music stops. "One too many?!  Well then, let's compare the names on the paper roster with those on the blackboard...! "First, the five not listed on the roster are Kai, Sou, Kugie, Joe, and Nao!         "Shin Tsukimi...? That's the only person not on the blackboard, meow!!Music stops. (We've derived a 21st person...!) "What's going ooooon?! Just who is this person...?! (Is it one of us...? Okay, let's calm down... What does that mean, exactly?) (...An alias? If someone is using an alias...!) "I see... Shin Tsukimi... is one of us...!!
"No way...?! "Aha... "Interesting... If we follow that logic... "Shin Tsukimi... has already been identified. "What'd you saaaaaay?! "Sara, let's work this out.  (...Let's just suppress my urge to say that.) "It's one of the people not on the paper roster. Kai, Sou, Kugie, Joe, or Nao...!! "Right you are. "Awright... Let's discuss those five's names!!  "This is my real name!! Professor Mishima called me Miss Nao," remember? "I'm using my real name too. It was written there at the Prize Exchange, right? "Kugie... is the name of Kanna's sister...! "If big bro Joe was using a fake name, big sis Sara would figure out right away, meow! "Kai's name was on his laptop. Based on the email logs, should be his real one! "If you want to check the roster, come tell Mr. Policeman anytime.Extract statement from Nao. "This is my real name!! Professor Mishima called me Miss Nao," remember? Please believe me! Saraaaa!! (I do really doubt it's an alias...)Extract statement from Gin. "If big bro Joe was using a fake name, big sis Sara would figure out right away, meow! Big sis Sara! Is big bro Joe his real name, woof? Of course it is. Good, meow!Extract statement from Q-taro. "Kai's name was on his laptop. Based on the email logs, should be his real one! Ain't even a trace of him bein' called another name!Extract statement from Kanna. "Kugie... is the name of Kanna's sister...! ...It's a real name, of course. I would never forget my precious sister's name...Extract statement from Sou.  Check Keiji. Music stops.   "Oh... Just impressed by how calmly he could lie. "...Lie...? "Sara, recall the Prize Exchange.  (Huh...?) "Remember?" There were photos, but no names anywhere. "Ahh... was that right...? I must've had it wrong. "Sou... What exactly... "Are you afraid of...? ".......... (Afraid? Sou is...?)  "No...Music stops. 
 (It can't be... Kanna swapped my Sacrifice with her Commoner so she could sacrifice herself... Kanna is prepared for death... That's why she isn't even hiding being the Sacrifice... I didn't want this... Not at all...) (Keiji confessed to being the Keymaster, and Q-taro the Sage. Sou fell for their trap and said he was a Commoner, but the possibility of that being an act emerged. Yet... It's already evident that Kanna's fifth trade moved my Sacrifice to Kanna...)
 (Kanna... tried to sacrifice herself by swapping my Sacrifice and her Commoner. But Kanna says she received a Commoner card... Is it true? Or a lie? Or... something else...?)
 (The Commoner that Q-taro started with apparently got changed to the Sacrifice. At the time, I was with Keiji in the 1F kitchen, listening to Miley and someone else talk. In the end, I don't know who initiated this trade... But right now, I'll trust everyone.) (Time-wise... It happened when we were sharing the laptop. It was Sou who sent me Q-taro's Sacrifice. Even still, I'll believe in Sou...!!)  (Kanna... tried to sacrifice herself by swapping my Sacrifice and her Commoner. But Kanna received a Commoner card. I believe Kanna...! This oddity must be Gashu's transgression!!) (Keiji confessed to being the Keymaster, and Q-taro the Sage. Kanna also confessed she's a Commoner. Where did the Sacrifice disappear to...?!)

Nao is missing from the list, If you take the list of participants as the people meant to be in the game, and the 4 people who weren't as extra's, then the transgression is clear. Sara's sacrifice was diverted to Nao. Kanna and Sara are meant to be in the game, where Nao isn't, therefore, killing her would get rid of the last 'foreign element'.

SITB posted:Wait a second, if there's no Sacrifice how come there were 9 votes during the previous round? ...There is a sacrifice. It's just not Kanna. The facts 1. Kanna attempted to trade the Sacrifice to herself. 2. Kanna received the Commoner card instead. 3. There have been 9 votes so there is a Sacrifice. 4. The original participants of the Death Game were 16, not 20. 5. Nao is not meant to be in the Death Game. 6. Gashu in some way violated the rules of the Death Game. 7. Reko doesn't get a vote and cannot be traded to, because if she could, don't you think that Sou would have traded the Sacrifice to Reko who's dead in the first place? 8. Sou isn't Sou, he's Shin Tsukimi 9. The actual Sou Hiyori is dead, he was murdered by Alice.

It IS possible that we're missing a sheet, with the four missing names all at ?%. Though don't they have a Joe doll, despite him not being on the list?

Randalor posted:It IS possible that we're missing a sheet, with the four missing names all at ?%. Though don't they have a Joe doll, despite him not being on the list? That's basically the proof for me that we're missing a sheet. It'd have exactly four people, and these sheets are by numerical order - there's nothing saying that the four names we know should be there but aren't, aren't just at 0% themselves. After all, the names left are Kugie, Joe, Nao and Kai. Joe and Kai died early on and together at that, Kugie didn't even get to the first main game. All of them are very likely 0%, with Nao as the only exception, and even there she may have stayed alive this time entirely thanks to Mishima.

Something still seems off about the "Someone broke their tablet, a replacement one has been made available, make sure that only the person who broke their tablet takes it". I mean, they're supposed to be encoded, so they would have to know who broke their tablet, so why not just say "Q-Taro, here's a replacement tablet. Sorry about the inconveniece". I'm suspecting that's when Gashou did his game fuckery. Q-Taro hasn't actually LOOKED at his new tablet yet, has he?

Goon Boots posted:I'm not sure this is cut-and-dried since Gashu (and Sou?) has apparently messed with the constraints of the game, so there is uncertainty about what is and is not possible with votes, roles, and trading (at least for the last trade). Sou literally said he didn't mess with the Role cards, and the thread is waiting for that secret triple reverse bluff where secretly he's done something. But if he'd done something he wouldn't be so desperate to get Kanna votes based on the thought that she was the Sacrifice. Sou's an rear end in a top hat but everything he's done in this main game has been consistent with the thought of keeping Kanna alive, and not even as a pawn, since if she WAS the Sacrifice, the game would conclude if she recieved the majority vote. The focus right now is what did Gashu do to transgress on the game. Everyone knows if they can solve this, they have another shot at escaping. So there's no reason for anyone to hide anything. If Gashu is intending to run the experiment, there's no point in removing the Sacrifice from play, especially not when clarifying the rules at the start that as there is an even number of players, a tie between the Sacrifice and the Keymaster would lead to a party wipe. He would simply have let the sacrifice's role be quiet, not only that, but if there was no sacrifice it would be a clear transgression of the rules, rather than an unclear one. Finally, Reko is not a participant anymore, even if she was counted, which she wouldn't she died way before the game began, the game adjusts if people die, remember, if you don't go to the main game, you are immediately killed. So even if Reko was in play somehow, she'd be discounted for not being present. Sou has no reason to direct all the votes towards Kanna and try to make her seem like dead weight that needs removal if he isn't convinced she has the Sacrifice. Especially as if she didn't, she formed a voting bloc along side him that kept him alive in the game. Again, let us look at what we know, logically. Miley gave us the 4 papers, the list of names. At Prize Exchange, Nao was the only person without an AI, she only had a dossier written for her. Nao is also absent from the papers. We know that Kai wasn't intended to be in the game, and Joe was with us on happenstance, so again, a very good chance he was never meant to be here. Especially considering   Then again...    So... What did Kai mean by 'files'

They really needed to make her reaction to being voted into the final selection not identical to Joe's. Hopefully this scans

I'm thinking that part of getting the good ending will hinge on how often that Sara (the player) votes for

I assume that the correct anti-system choice at this point would be for everyone to put their lives on the line and vote Sacrifice. That the floor masters have let this game go on despite the 'transgression' must mean it doesn't necessarily matter. If the gang reasons out the identity of the sacrifice to avoid them then it's business as usual, but if they figure out the identity of the Sacrifice because of the transgression and then voted for them because it would be a middle finger to the floor master who set them up to die, I imagine that would close the circuit and encourage postponement. Of course the game could pull some arbitrary nonsense like the poison dart thing but it'd be cool to see some real guts

That opening shot of Sou has been hanging over the whole game for me, and I gotta say, having it be his "shadow of despair" is a really satisfying explanation.

Voting for Nao seems like an early/bad ending of sorts... But honestly, with Sou-wait, no, Shin kind of redeeming himself... Hmm... But Kanna's... Ahhh... ...I'll wait for some other people to make convincing arguments first.

Shin. He has a low likelihood of winning in the first place, but more importantly, he clearly doesn't want to survive at Kanna's expense. I don't know what he'd do in revenge, given all he's done so far, and Sara doesn't need an enemy like that. Kanna seems less likely to be able to retaliate in anger. Plus Kanna doesn't deserve any of this.

I'm going for Kanna. Sou's a poo poo and will almost certainly stay a poo poo, but he can be helpful and attempting to redeem himself through death is a bit cheap. On a side note though, are we able to actually vote for Nao in game?

Vote for Shin. Kanna is stronger than she realises, especially after pulling a play like this. Even on terms of saving the most helpful, that is still going to be her. And it seems cruel to Shin to make him live with sacrificing a child for his sake.

I think we should vote for Kanna. As horrible as it is, she already has a crippling case of survivors guilt. At this stage I think it would be a fate crueler than death for her to have to live through it again.

For as much an rear end in a top hat as he's been, and how much I've disliked his way of playing, and how terrible this choice is, Kanna is right. Shin is useful, and he can work together with people and be worth trusting (only after pushing the right buttons, but that's the same boat Q-Taro is in), and he's also driven the hell out of the Main Games so far by playing designated antagonist. Kanna doesn't really have that same level of motivated autonomy for anything other than dying with a purpose, and... as much as this hurts, this is as good a one as any to keep everyone else going. Voting Kanna. e: I'm changing my vote, because Shin is wanting to die to save Kanna. During the game with Kai, he made the appeal to vote for the Sage because it was the logical choice, because it was safe, and people went with it. Now he's invested at least in Kanna; he's making the emotional appeal that he should die because he's the bad guy, because people hated him. If Kanna dies, all the care he had for trying to help everyone escape this place will probably die with her, whereas she'll still be open to sacrificing herself if nobody finds a way to escape before ending up in the next Main Game.
