Talk:Utsuro no Hako:Volume4 Chapter1

Exciting! Significant joy. *smiles* The protagonist's resolve and path of action is impressive, while his tendency to mess up is characteristic. *looks forward to the continuation!* | Pressed for time, before; I also have to confess happiness at the 'reveal information beforehand' strategy being used! -- Multipartite

I don't think we revealed any information? Only the hint that "Zero no Maria" would become clear, but that is totally unrelated to this update. And that we would update frequently and not chapter-wise, but that's not much of a spoiler, or 'information'. And it was a lie on top of that. Probably. Need to talk to Eusth about that one...--Kadi 10:22, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

he means the protagonist telling the others he was the knight(i think)

Ohh, makes sense... in a way. Why would someone be happy about that? No, don't tell me. I might want to hit myself.--Kadi 13:32, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Hopefully this won't prompt self-hitting... indeed I was referring to the Knight-revealing, and the relevance is my thoughts/comments in earlier Discussions about revealing information about the game before it would have been learned normally, such as Daiya's participation before he appeared (something that I wanted to happen yet which did not happen, though a similar case of the boxes information being revealed beforehand was). Looking, though, I mainly note http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=Talk:Utsuro_no_Hako:Volume3_Epilogue . In any case, ignoring muddled memories, I strongly enjoy the scene of a person with such knowledge using it to convince others of the significance of their words (and thus gain power, for instance). Hmm... it can be likened to that of a prophet or fortune-teller gaining reputation by making public or otherwise verifiably before-the-event predictions which then came true. | To think of it more simply, I perhaps love the mental image of the others' faces(/minds) when they're officially told about the Knight /after/ having heard that from him. | (By 'strategy' (or should that have been 'tactic'?), I meant that which Kazuki was using in the game to gain credibility.) | ((On an unrelated note, I wonder about the contrast between Daiya choosing the game and the Daiya-NPC's derision for the game... not that the NPC doesn't know about the game, but that it's looked down on instead of admired or viewed neutrally. What does that say about the real-Daiya, I wonder? *smiles*)) -- Multipartite

It's AMAZING!!

Hoh... what might Daiya's real aim be, I wonder? | Also, pleasant to see knowledge of the past rounds be used. | Sad to imagine that the real ones won't remember the wonderful reconciliation... or are earlier players witnessing the later rounds as well? That would simplify things considerably. | *great happiness at the story continuing!* -- Multipartite

Kazuki said he won against Daiya huh? no way its that simple, hes still got 2 factors besides Maria that he has to convince. Im pretty sure Daiya figured out the goal of his real self and therefore knows he can kill or be killed since he's a NPC. Looking forward to chapter 2! = polarpwnage
