So... Sou shredded the original percentage papers? Which makes me think the percentage papers were in his Trial? If so, that's a pretty big mind gently caress off the bat if he's, as it's likely he is, Shin. "Hey there, it's a death game, your chance of winning is 0%"

What sort of horrifying entity must this stranger be that they could so outclass everyone else in the death game in survival rate? What must their nature be?

We're still only assuming the percentages are their chances of winning. They could just as easily be, say, their likelihood of murdering someone.

The winning percentages look pretty strange to me and might be something different entirely. They add up to 100%, but we already know that it's possible for everyone to lose (keymaster selected) and for two people to win (sacrifice selected), and I doubt that these two options are equally likely to happen. You'd expect that the sacrifice tricking everyone is more likely than everyone messing up and voting for the keymaster, in which case the percentages should add up to more than 100%. They should also add up to more than 100% if there are some outlier scenarios where the players outwit the game and survive in larger numbers, but that might not be taken into account by whatever calculations are used.

Well Neutrino, have you considered that it's like when a Fatal Fourway is announced as all competitors having a 25% chance of winning, even though that's NOT how numbers work? EDIT: More seriously, as Keymaster and Sacrifice aren't set, so they can't be an influencing factor. Yes, Sara COULD become the Sacrifice, however, that's entirely a random circumstance (Except now there's something about being able to trade roles?) basically, for Shin Tsukimi to have a 0% chance means they've gone "It doesn't matter if you have the Keymaster, the Sacrifice, or any other role, there is no chance you can survive. Even if you were the keymaster, everyone would still vote for you and DIE" Or it could all be bullshit made to gently caress with Shin since this whole thing is apparently an experiment on negative emotions, someone being confronted with "Hey... you're in a death game and you have no chance to survive" is brutal. That said... I raise a question I asked before. How many participants can 'win'? If it's only a single survivor, then, by all accounts, isn't it better for the Sacrifice to be chosen?

Okay, how about it being chance to die instead, and showing Shin/Sou a 0% and letting them come to their own conclusion changes his behaviour sufficiently such that he then dies in this Main Game?

Have you considered that it might not be likelihood of winning the death game, but instead chance of surviving it overall? Basically their calculations are such that Sara has a 15% chance of surviving to the end, whilst poor Shin has 0%. Whether that be because of the main games or the side games.

Wouldn't make sense with what we've seen -- the people with lower numbers are logically more likely to die and some already have. See Mishima, who is both weird/off-putting and loyal/self-sacrificing, and Joe, who is also devoted to another player.

I mean it's entirely possible that the percentages adding up to 100% just means "of the games that end with a winner, what % chance does each person win". Or maybe surviving the Death Game and winning it are entirely different things. Maybe surviving via being voted for as Sacrifice is surviving, sure, but not winning. The game is considered a failure.

So Sou, you take your 0% chance, minus my 15.5% chance, and you got a -15.5% of winning at this death game. But then you take my 7.5% chance of winning if we was to go one on one, and add my 15.5 per cents, I got a 23% of winning at this death game. SEE MCSOU?

If the numbers are success rates based on simulations run with the AI versions of the players then there's already some problems. Reko's AI had the discrepancy caused by the infrequent personality updates, and Nao may not have an AI at all, since she doesn't have numbers and her player info wasn't an AI.

When it comes to the percentages as survival chances, the fact that they add up to 100% is probably a point against it - particularly, Nao is not on the cards, so is in the group that is implicitly 0%. But Mishima is at 3%, meaning they have concocted some scenarios where he outlives her - but everything we've seen has him throwing himself in harm's way to protect her. He's managed to die for her twice! There's no way he'd have a higher chance of survival than her. Unless it does have to do with the AIs, as above, anyway.

Please, come to the Medical Office!” “Huh...?” “It shouldn't matter to you if anything unfavourable happens to us.” “In the Main Game, everyone is an enemy...” “...That may be true.” “But I don't think giving up on living and thinking is the right thing to do...!” “...!” “If we diligently think about it...

You understand, don't you?” “...” The atmosphere is unpleasant. We look at each other's faces and try to judge how we're feeling. “For now, let's go back to our rooms...” “Y-Yeah...” “And after that, we'll definitely find a way to escape.” “I won't let them have their way!!”  “Let's get going, guys.” Glancing at each other's faces, and seeing looks of anxiety mixed with trust. “Big sis Sara.” “Hm? What is it, Gin?” “I hid it 'cause the suspicious loner was there...” “Huh?!” “I don't wanna trouble you guys anymore, meow! So I'll do my best, woof!” “Ah, Gin...!” (I feel so uneasy... Is everything going to be okay?)  A Ring-Up Box has appeared in the back of my room. It's... quiet. Here in my room, I'm all alone. (Huh...?) My hands are shaking. (...This...) Back there, I tried to cheer everyone up so they wouldn't be uneasy. I told myself I couldn't give in around them. (But when I'm alone... I'm so cowardly...) (No, no... I can't get timid...) (What the...?!) Suddenly, the tablet began making a sound. (Could this sound mean... It's begun...?)  (My role...!) A fateful moment. Subconsciously, I was praying. (Don't do it...)

"You were all born to win", huh? Maybe the whole thing ends if we let Sou/Shin win for once. xD Since the setup for Part 2 allows you to pick the Reko route or the Alice route, it seems unlikely that the game remembers how many tokens Sara has left. As a result, Sara is unlikely to actively participate in any trading, though a card may end up shoved at her by someone else. It seems like those who initiate the trade can pick their target, but it's unclear if the target gets to know who the initiator is. Guessing not. Obscuring whether or not you've traded with someone is going to be a key strategy for survival this time around. I hope they also patch up the "Sage can't lie" loophole; it ruins the whole scheme if they don't.

So, Sara's gonna get the Sacrifice card, right? I mean, whatever she gets will likely get traded, and unless the last portion of the game is wildly different from this, it's too early for her to actually keep the Sacrifice role.

Wouldn't it make more sense for her to end up with the Sage role? Give her the Sacrifice role and her bloc could be convinced to vote for her so that at least one of them gets to go home, but if she's the Sage it goes like last time with Kai where she's the safe vote to die. At least if you're going at this like Sou I presume.

I like it. That's a pretty stable "solution" and is suitably dramatic. Since the person initiating the trade knows what the target should end up with, anyone who starts with the Sage will want to get rid of it and convince everyone to target the person who received it. However, if the person receives the Sacrifice in exchange, they can no longer safely reveal any info.

It's a lot like One Night Werewolf. No matter what you think you know, there could always have been one more swap that changes everything. (The one big difference is that everyone does at least know their own final role.) I mean, aside from Q-Taro with 200 and Gin with nothing, do we even know who has how many tokens? Any chance someone (I.e. Sou) looted Reko's body? (Or is that against the rules?)

I wonder how the trading is going to work. Can you choose 2 other people or does one of the people have to be you? Do you know get to know what the other person's card is before you trade or do you just have to take a chance?
