Gotta go with the somehow-unpopular Tenmyouji. Luna is far too passive for my tastes and Alice doesn't know what a shirt is.
As is the convention, Luna is probably a psychopath. We just want to get the Axe Ending II out of the way.

I think it's less about ethics and due process than about getting away with it. Lots of people probably have "assholes" they'd love to kill with impunity.

Pierzak
Oct 30, 2010
OK, I think I see what you're trying to say. We may be OK with killing assholes when the protagonist does it because "we will know who's an rear end in a top hat and we'll do no wrong to ourselves that way" even if it's blatantly untrue. But when it's someone else, it starts getting disturbingly similar to what oppressive regimes do, the "We're getting rid of these and these asshold for the good of all, next we're killing you and no one bats an eyelid because officially you're evil" way.

I want to see more situations when the protagonist exercises their "law of force" and does gently caress up in the long run, not ethically but pragmatically. "Yes they were assholes, but also very necessary members of the group/society/whatever, and you've cut off your only means of survival, you hosed it up you deal with it."

The optimal solution in Prisoner's Dilemma would be to ally first, then copy the other side? And the game doesn't offer that much for betraying the other party? And we'd lose trust and set a bad precedent?

If that's the case, betray, obviously. We're going down in flames, starting with the worst ending in the game :v:

What when the pairs get changed? For example, let's say Phi runs to the button and presses Betray before Sigma can grab her. Later on Phi and Sigma end up in different pairs (or as solos). If we meet the whole group after this round (assuming no one gets killed in the process), it's easy to learn the answers, just tally the scores.

...that is, unless Zero has additional tasks for some players to gain/lose points :tinfoil: (the fact we didn't get one is irrelevant, no one'd believe us when we claim that)

Holy gently caress. :aaaaa:

The "actual Zero" is actually a decoy. The true Zero is Zero III, being the sole survivor from the rabbit hutch of 999. The rabbit massacre was actually the previous Nonary Game, organized by June.

Through that would mean Quark and Sigma are the true Zero. :tinfoil:
It's obvious; Sigma underwent hypnosis or something to forget the Zero-relevant memories, and Quark is the controller and his hat is actually a brainwash device so he acts naturally. Make him take it off and see what happens.

ed: Except we can't do that because as Zero we have our behavioral paths programmed beforehand. This is all a game :tinfoil:

Luna is great, she's one for being adorable and making lewd suggestions without actually being aware of it.

I love her character, she's a ditsy nice girl and it's adorable :3:
Which means there's a 95% chance of her being actually creepy/murderous/entirely different from what we've seen.

As for K grabbing the key and escaping, I don't think we've told him how exactly his armor lock looks like.

They didn't explicitly describe what the hole looks like, but he's aware of where it is.
That's what I was talking about. Is he going to check each and every key in his head, possibly risking permanent injury (who knows, if the suit was made to trap the occupant it may be secured - turn left, then right, it opens, any other combination fries your brain :tinfoil:

Oh come on. Phi is actually a Gaulem, so her looking like she's 13 is perfectly normal. So is not willing to pursue the "Gaulems might be in the middle of our group" line of thought.

But did he really think it was a good idea opting to further upset the already distraught (and possibly homicidal) girl?
On the other hand, we know that Clover has psychotic tendencies, so I have precisely zero trust for her. I'd assume she's gonna hit betray.

EDIT: vvv I'm not really arguing that she won't, I'm just saying "psychotic tendencies" just sounds like a really funny label. One incident does not a tendency make.

But last time, the golem we met got that special announcement about some unauthorized process, etc. before he got shut down, here there was no warning whatsoever.
Remember that G-0LM had some awareness of/access to the system. Sigma has none (if he's a Gaulem).

So, how does that plot tree even work? Do we have access to the morphic field from the start, so we can now take another route, learn the password even if we die in the process, then "reload" the password stage when we got stuck, enter the proper login/password and continue on?

In short my problem is that Akane has to receive information that she cannot receive without dying and causing a paradox.
Not sure what the problem is. The timeline in which she dies is a different one. Now, if she asked Akane-in-the-future (from the same timeline) who has already solved a certain problem for the solution and used it, bootstrapping herself to the future-Akane level and bypassing the search for solution (and the creation of Akane-knowing-the-solution) entirely, now that might be a bit of a paradox.

...still, stranger things happen. You're just living in a boring part of the multiverse :v:
