[color=green]Shoot, this doesn't appear to work

Rudolf, the code changed.
Please use [ green] and [ /green] now

>>1226
The blank, it is obviously God.

>>1226
The blank is obviously me/the self-dubbed Goldsmith :p

The puzzle is based on the first part of Dante Alighieri's Divina Commedia, the Inferno. The levels of hell are such:

Limbo - Shion's /limbo/
Lust - Rudolf's penchant for breasted creatures
Gluttony - Meta George: "I am Fat, praise my name"
Greed - Krauss's plan for moon invasion
Anger - Meta Battler's rage
Heresy - Rudolf's Blasphemy
Violence - Meta Battler's rage ep2
Fraud - same on you all for ripping sprites
Treachery - Alice was a spy for the other team in the last gameboard

Can't say I got this on my own, bro gave me some hints, namely Shion having a board of her own.

P.S. Hello again everyone

The only hint I gave was asking "Do you know anything about Christian literature?"

I was put under heretic because I know so much and believe so little in the religion I was raised to follow...

meta is playing, tabun

The amazing Meta-Battler is coming to join this game, so, you'd better make it really enjoyable and difficult for him, Rudolf!

>>1241
That's great to hear.

A few rules regarding detective's authority:

I will revoke the detective's ability to confirm facts including deaths.

I will revoke searching areas without reason (such as spam opening every room in the house).

I will allow a detective to once or twice deny the entrance of other detectives into an area for the sake of the detective's defense or to prevent others from stealing credit for solving the epitaph (as in what happened last game).

I will revoke most (if not all) chemically based weapons.

I will be limiting the detective's ability to collect items on the first day without cause ("to defend myself later" does not count).

Detectives confirmed to be playing:
Great Equalizer, Krauss, Kinjo, Ozaki, Meta-Battler, Lurker, Alice, and Ooishi

I will confirm in red when we start that none of the detectives are being played by me, and that any of the suspicious ones (people I know in real life: Alice, Lurker, and Ooishi) are not in any way accomplices.

sounds good Rudolf-sama

>>1245
That should make it slightly harder for me to be murdered.

This better not be a waste of my time.

I guess I could give it a shot.

>>1248
I believe you may enjoy it. Although you may need to be patient as I have not had many days so far this summer that lacked complete business...

>>1249
The more the merrier! Just remember that you do play a mortal detective.

BTW, how do I post in gold (trolled)? And is there any way to post more than one file?

>>1251
Oh, it's gonna be like that? Didn't expect it.

Not sure. Ask George.

[gr]Hi[/gr]

Hi

>>1250

I saw it by chance and left the decision up to someone else since I couldn't be bothered while solving other mysteries.

>>1254
Other mysteries?

Also, will he be playing with you or will you be the only one I'm battling with from that side?

>>1255

Just me. I've gotten better you know.

>>1256
Better? How so?

>>1257

No need to think so hard anymore, deduction is what I need, not foresight.

>>1258
I hope by deduction you are thinking both investigation and thinking. Pure reason is best left to Hercule Poirot.

Also I assume you have reviewed the modifications I have made to the detective's authority? I would like some feedback from everyone on their opinions of it.

>>1259

Didn't read it at all. No need to read it because I won't be using anything other than reliable eyesight and thinking power.

>>1260
The ability to deny entrance to an area to other detectives (will be limited to 1 or 2 uses per person) has been gifted in hopes of allowing detectives to defend themselves from other detectives (both with killing and with solving)

>>1261

Killing each other as the detective is a disgrace.

>>1262
Being mortal is the main point of my game that makes it fun. Otherwise you just have systematic red and blue (which can be fun, but variation is nice)

>>1263

Blue and red aren't needed in a mystery--so I won't be using blue.

>>1264
Does this mean you won't ever be asking me to confirm anything in red?

>>1265

No blue/red nonsense, no killing intentionally or unintentionally, attempt to stop all murders or suicides, etc...

I've gotten my detective rules set up in my head. If I can't follow them I cannot call myself a detective.

>>1266
A code of honor or some sort? Hopefully you can adhere to such childish dreams. Not all other detectives may be so merciful to you.

BTW, I have revoked the ability to gather and use chemicals to the detective. Although I am contemplating instead of forcing the detectives to swear to not use any sort of help to learn about chemicals (to not google search how to make a homemade bomb of sorts, forcing them to use prior-learned knowledge)(of course it would be honor based as I cannot monitor any of you in real life)

>>1267

No chemical usage? I can understand how that'd get a bit overused but that's stripping away a lot of things. I don't plan on making anymore bombs or explosives, I plan on solving the mystery, that's a detective's job--to untie the knots of truth.

Still have you added on YIM/MSN (though you're never online... perhaps I was blocked?)

Still prefer Skype but few people seem to use it.

>>1269

I wasn't on for quite awhile, I just finished moving. You should still have me, no? Give me your MSN.

Aren't the 2 integrated? I use [email protected] as my YIM name. Unless you got a new name, I still have you added (takumi nishijou?)

By the way, hopefully we'll be starting this this week. My schedule will be swamped in the upcoming weeks.

I'm swamped right now... and until... well, forever...

>>1273

What a jerk! Don't invite me to a game, and then not have any time to start and play it!

>>1273
From the sound of it your going to be busy this week. Would you mind being more clear? Even if it's bad confirmation would be nice.

>>1275
Ya, this coming week I will likely be very busy. I have Sunday off of work, but I may end up doing a lot of yard work that day...

>>1276

I'm bothered by the fact that you haven't started yet either. Oh well, contact me whenever we're going to start.

What of the progress now?

Don't rush perfection...

I'm having a lot of trouble with coming up with ideas... perhaps this should be considered postponed until further notice...

Although one other idea seemed to come to me. The detective's purpose on the island was never well established. Because of that, I wish to make it so that in the story, Krauss has invited them under the guise of being friends while in actuality they are detective's whose goal is to prevent a murder Krauss believes may occur. With this being the backstory, a detective cannot win if their employer (Krauss) dies.

>>1318

How boring and cliche. A detective club, more like a mystery club from Jessica's school would be better. Krauss invites her "friends" over and well, you can imagine the rest.

>>1319
It almost sounds like you're trying to forgo storyline for the sake of your own victory. I have to make it challenging, and protecting Krauss would make for quite the interesting scenario.

Perhaps you can be a man who is also closely associated with the moon. (btw, I can't remember the reason Krauss is associated with the moon...)

>>1320
Because moon tourism.

>>1320

I wish I could slap you for that remark. I'm not doing it for my own victory, I'm doing it because it makes the most sense.

>Players know each other
>Players have a tie-in with the family
>No nonsense about hurrdurr someone is gonna die
>Have skills with detecting things, mysteries, etc...(Even though most of you don't)
>Interesting and non-cliche start
>Krauss can still be protected
>Krauss can still further his hurrdurr I think someone is gonna die plot by using Jessica's friends
>Suddenly, the story just got a whole lot better

Have I ever mentioned how much I hate being busy?

I hate being busy

Rudolf you seem to keep saying that it might happen tonight. Even if it is not tonight you seem to be getting less busy.
