Ah, well yeah, that was what I was going with, but I guess I could've phrased it better. Balance between easy, fair and hard is a difficult thing to accomplish.
But yeah, you were very close to finding the truth, which is why I previously said that you would laugh at yourself, you did well in most respect honestly, and thank you just for staying this far.
Heh, well let me state the truth as it is.
Kyrie was the culprit, Rudolf the accomplice.
The motive is a bit blurry and as I said back on the first post, the why was never really thought-out that much.
But basically it went as such :
After the family reunion, they were both, as much as everyone very preoccupied with solving that riddle. Since they couldn't make sense of it, they tried to get something out of Genji by following him. Lucky for them, they saw him getting inside the secret basement by following him, and managed to sneak behind him, wrecking the entirety of Kinzo's plan.
Then, they so discovered that the safe which contained the gold could only be opened with the four roman keys. Since the rules stipulated that whoever would find the gold first would get it, this would mean that the four siblings would ideally discover it together, and then so share he gold equally.
Kinzo tried to get the siblings closer this way, and push them to cooperate.
However, Kyrie didn't interpret it this way, and decided that the other way to get the keys was to take them from everyone else.
Then, they devised a plan. Using a handgun Kyrie had personally brought, Rudolf faked to threaten to kill Kyrie in front of Genji in the courtyard, which he was going to get back the teacups left there by Hideyoshi and Eva (A minor detail, how I love them.), he said if Genji didn't give him the gold, he would shoot her, however, Genji wouldn't comply, seeing that he wouldn't go against Kinzo's orders, Rudolf ordered him to go take the Storehouse key from the servant room.
This is why Genji looked so strange to both Kanon and Shannon that night, Rudolf was threatening Kyrie just outside.
Then, Genji got into the storehouse himself under the orders of Rudolf, which explicitly said nothing would happen to anybody if he complied, Genji got out the objects that were missing for them, then was ordered to set up the string thing.
At this point it was decided that he needed to be killed, since letting him free now would be the worst decision. So using the string trick that genji himself set up, they shot him from outside the window, effectively setting the first paradox.
Well to be perfectly correct, Kyrie shot him, in a very cinematic scene I had in my head, where the gun in rudolf's hand goes into Kyrie's, and saying some badass one-liner she shoots him mercilessly.
Then they take the numerous objects the retrieved into the basement.
Krauss is killed by Rudolf, Kyrie stayed in the parlor when it happened, simply covering for him. He got to Krauss's room by getting out the window of his room, since Krauss's was near, it was easy to do. Then he did the forging thing which was done for practical purposes only at first.
During the dinner they drugged a lot of people's drinks, explaining why they had to be waken up with water : They did so to get Eva out of the room easily and so that battler wouldn't find out they weren't there anymore, of course Kyrie only pretended to be.
They got eva out of the room by threatening the sleeping George and Hideyoshi with the gun, pushed her to get into the kitchen, inside of which was put the trapped extinguisher, ordered her to lock it, and then burned her from outside the room using a hand-made flamethrower using spray and Rudolf's lighter.
Then, they got into their room and waited for morning. Once they heard Shannon's cry and Natsuhi and Jessica rushing out of their room, Rudolf got in, thinking he would only fake his death. This is why he slashed himself, to fake his death (which would have been discovered pretty fast had it stayed that way.)
However Kyrie decided to betray him, called him up to the door and stabbed him, wearing a raincoat which she quickly hid under her own bed afterwards, and then pretended to be asleep, before being woken up by the others.
The reason for Kyrie's betrayal is sorta blurry, but the final letter is what sorta explains it : she simply didn't find in him what she once loved, plus greed, and all that good stuff.
The letter found the next day was meant both as a way to instill chaos to allow everyone to be separated, so to carry out murders more easily, and also the content itself reflects her own betrayal.
Then, she lures rosa out of the room with a letter sent through the window slit saying she knows how to find the gold, and quickly kills her after she gets out of the room.
Also, I didn't mention, but for each murder they were used on the safe before being put back. Now being able to open the safe, she hids the gold under a destroyed part of the basement's ground, which she covers up afterwars. She poses the letter and then proceeds to return to her room.
Her plan is now simply to get out of the island with everyone, then to get back the gold later on her own.
Well, there you go. I planned a lot of things about it, but to be honest it never needed to and was never meant to be solvable as such.
Though, I thought Rudolf's death would bring light to the fact that he was an accomplice (Since slash and all), and so obviously make Kyrie the mastermind. But well, I had taken special care to make the howdunnit solvable independently from the whodunnit, so I guess it turned out fine anyway.
...Woah this was really long to write, longer than I'd ever thought it'd be.
Honestly I probably have a lot of things i'm forgetting that I have to add. Especially about the Meta-sequence and the Final letter, but I can't think about it clearly right now.
In the end, it didnt really turn out like I expected to, and I think I can blame myself a lot for it, and for numerous decisions. I guess such a lengthy game was in the first place not meant to be carried out in this way.
Ah, well, what is done, is done. I could deem it a failure, but I thorougly enjoyed myself nonetheless. I just wish things would have gone differently, but it's not something I can blame you for. All in all. A good experience. Dunno if I'll make another gameboard.
Well, such was the end of an unpopular gameboard. Let it rest forever in the abyss of this place. For good now. Thanks for staying so long Camphor. Thanks to everyone who participated. Imagining there is some, thanks to the lurkers to. If anyone feels like making some comment about this. I'd be happy to hear them out. But I'm probably getting ahead of myself here.
