Or spied on Brother's/Dio's/FtS's plans through conventional means, which could explain the game running smoothly even though Dio would normally be a huge X factor vvv: So in the bombless timeline the laxative hasn't kicked in yet?

If anyone's been listening to the Japanese audio track, you might have noticed something about bomb code 3 - it doesn't match the English language version at all. In the original Japanese, the code was BKZ XCN KKR, I believe. It's already been pointed out in the thread that the organization known as the Myrmidons were called the Clay Dolls in Japanese, referring to the Hebrew legend of the golem. Just thought I'd toss that out there.

It's pretty common in Japanese media to use English words to sound a bit exotic. Obviously, when they're translated into English, they'd just sound dull, so they're generally punched up a bit in the translation, such as with replacements from other languages. There was discussion earlier about the actual mythologies behind both golems and Myrmidons, and they both get the same idea across, but one sounds a bit dull in English compared to the other.

Sentient Data posted:Why the change, was it initially a pun or something? Yup. "Clay Doll" = "Cradle (Pharmaceuticals)" It would have been lost on native English speakers both because of our contrastive use of L's and R's and because we wouldn't use the word "doll" in that way, so the translator thought of a reasonably sinister new name.

Happy New Year, thread! I haven't followed this since around its start in... mid-2013  Played through the game for the first time over Christmas, and I've gone through the whole thread this weekend to see everyone else's reactions. Holy crap was I wrong in basically all my posts. Glad that things are still going strong!

As many people in this thread know, before Uchikoshi worked worked on the ZE series, he worked on another series with Takumi Nakazawa, called the infinity series. Well, currently, Nakazawa's most recent work, Root Double, is having a Kickstarter for an English translation. From what I heard, it is much better paced than the Infinity series, and some say his best work. Take a look at it. Here is the description:RootDobule posted:LABO - a giant research facility with a nuclear reactor-- 9 persons, 9 hours, 6 days ago. Anyways, as of posting this, it is 19% funded after 22 hours. I really hope this gets funded. Edit: Didn't realize I forgot to mention this until now, but Uchikoshi worked on Root Double as well.

After we see what happens as far as ally/betray this round, if both lead to a game over/end, let not forget that one other betrayal we could've done earlier in this path, agreeing to Clover's seduction. Best to get that out of the way too.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ytCEuuW2_A Can't say I'm shocked that Tenmyouji betrayed. It wasn't the outcome I expected, but certainly not one I ruled out. What's more surprising is that Luna and Clover chose to betray. I wonder what's up with that. Also, some cynical part of my brain is 90% sure that if we picked betray here Ten would ally, and if that turns out to be true I'll be very, very disappointed with the game.

zonohedron posted:If they hadn't and K had betrayed then Luna would be at -1. Yeah but K has been very insistent he would not betray if it would result in death of his opponent. Plus the fact that there is no benefit for him to betray here. If he allies and wins he has 10 points, same with Clover. Also same with Ten and Quark if they had allied they still would have had enough to leave. With the exception of the vs Dio teams, none of the betrayer teams had anything to gain from betraying.

I don't even begrudge them here, there is literally no advantage for them to pick Ally in this situation. Sigma still controls their fate in this particular session anyway.

MonsterEnvy posted:With the exception of the vs Dio teams, none of the betrayer teams had anything to gain from betraying. Tenmyouji and Quark, on the other hand, don't really have that same scenario. They would still be alive whether they pressed Ally or Betray, so the matter is Tenmyouji still doesn't trust Sigma. Which just makes him a dick really.

Well, Clover/Luna don't know for sure that K would Ally, they haven't seen his actions as much as we have on this timeline. Alternatively, Clover doesn't trust K and wouldn't want to leave with him. From their point of view, K could have been lying and would have done whatever it took to win. Tenmyouji/Quark is the outlier, unless they wanted to be absolutely sure they leave as soon as possible. Tenmyouji might know Clover and Alice, but we've seen that he prioritizes Quark getting out over anything.

Yeah, Tenmyouji's entire thing is that he's trying to protect Quark. With this outcome, it means that Quark and Tenmyouji will get out at the same time which is pretty much his ideal scenario. It's a dick move, but it's an understandable one.

This is only half of the dick move, though, considering there's no way Tenmyouji doesn't peace the gently caress out immediately after this.

Zakrelo posted:Whew, its been awhile. Can anyone recap this route so far? We go into the Yellow Room with Phi and Tenmyouji in the beginning, which is the Infirmary. After solving that room we come out and choose to Ally with Tenmyouji. Tenmyouji betrays us. We talk with a bunch of people (Alice + Clover, Dio + K, Tenmyouji alone.) Quark passes out and we find out he has Radical-6. We then go through the next set of doors. We choose the Blue door, the PEC room, with Clover as our partner and Tenmyouji as the solo. In the room we find a chip that could hold some important information if we insert it into a proper place. After we solve that room, K tells us he found a vial of medicine that can cure Quark's Radical-6 and Luna has already injected him with it. That aside, we also listen to a transmission of a Mars Mission Test Site where something went horribly wrong. Tenmyouji seems to know something about it, but before we can get answers it's AB Game time. We go through the game and Ally with Tenmyouji, much to Clover's behest. Tenmyouji picks Ally. After the game we talk to Tenmyouji to get answers about the transmission, but before we can Phi comes in to tell us Alice has been discovered dead. Clover flips her poo poo and demands answers and at that moment we remember something from a different route, which makes us realize Alice committed suicide due to Radical-6 infection. We go into the infirmary afterward and Quark has woken up, cured of Radical-6. Then it's time to go through the doors again, teaming up once more with Tenmyouji and with Quark coming into the mix, and we head to the Director Room. In the room we discover Tenmyouji has a photograph of his first love as a child - the girl is clearly Akane Kurashiki pre-Nonary Game 1. Tenmyouji leaves the photo by accident in the Director Room and goes with Quark to get it. However they take a while and Sigma goes to the room out of concern. While in the room he gets a message from the mastermind Zero, who talks about termites and then gives him a bomb code. He goes back into the main warehouse floor, where Tenmyouji and Quark are already waiting. Seems they just missed one another. We enter the AB Game chamber and Ally with Tenmyouji and Quark. He betrays us. And now we're here.
