Voting Ally because Ten is a cool dude and punched Dio that one time, so I don't want to betray him. Also, voting betray inevitably means we'll win but be stopped from escaping or something because everyone hates us, but voting ally makes it more likely for a sudden twist to occur and Quark to somehow betray us while unconscious and near dead. So that'll be fun.

Betraying here seems like the most obvious bad end so far.

So of course I voted that.

No you people have it all wrong.

Ally gets you the bad end and Betray is a plot lock that advances the overall plot further.

It's the opposite of what you'd expect.

So I voted Ally.

Voting Betray, because there might be important information that gets tossed out before Sigma's dying eyes (I'm assuming he is beaten to death by Tenmyouji)

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.
I'm voting Ally because SOMEONE IS HITTING 9 BP REGARDLESS OF OUR CHOICE. In short, if we betray Quark, Gameover.

It seems like every time we're a super dick, we immediately get a bad ending.

I voted Betray so that we could hit that bad ending immediately, and then do Ally right after. Maybe it'll undo a plot lock.

Or maybe it'll actually work, and we'll get to feel terrible forever. Win-win!

If we betray then we can use our 9 BP as intimidation leverage to make people spill beans. Just strut around saying "I'm not leaving as long as you talk".

Betray because Clover may not realize what's really going on here, but we sure do. If we vote ally then somehow Quark will manage to vote betray.

This means we could miraculously woke him up just by voting ally and we sure don't want to do that, plague-carrying little poo poo can stay in the pod.

Voting's closed in favour of Ally. It actually got progressively more even as time went on but it ended up about 60-40.

Maybe it's going to be a spiritual sequel? Or even just do the dot hack thing where the full plot isn't kept to one medium.

so it depends on when Uchikoshi said this.

I think in February he was quoted as saying "It’s looking like 2015 will be the year where everything I’ve built up over the years will come together and be let out into the world in one fell swoop."

He posted a mysterious number cipher a few days ago.

The thing about it is that one cipher was 9 letters back in the alphabet and the other was 9 letters ahead.

Okay so you’ve probably seen Kotaro Uchikoshi’s cryptic number tweets.

11 25 22 03 06 05 24 22 10 11 05 26 24 25 11 14 26 03 03 25 18 13 22 18 05 22 05 21

and

06 14 10 01 14 10 21 21 22 14 23 24 15 24 04 01 06 24 01 13.

A letter-number cipher reveals this:

K Y V C F E X V J K E Z X Y K N Z C C Y R M V R E V E U

and

F N J A N J U U V N W X O X D A F X A M

When you apply a backward Caeserian shift of 9, you get:

T H E L O N G E S T N I G H T W I L L H A V E A N E N D

and when you apply a forwards Caeserian shift of 9 to the second, you get:

W E A R E A L L M E N O F O U R W O R D

I want to believe it will happen. :ohdear:

Apparently he deleted the tweets after posting them, since the pages linking to them go nowhere.

Nah, Half-Life 3 is never going to happen. Why should Valve bother making another iteration in one of their most famous and beloved franchises when they can just take a cut of the profits from selling other companies' games and occasionally churning out microtransaction content for TF2 and DotA2?
