So yeah, it's over now! This was a fun first Nonary Game, even though I was
beyond dumb a bit noobish at points. This is how I would summarise my character in the game:
Quote:
All the players in the Nonary Game are just chilling out when suddenly a Japanese man comes up to them with a taser!
"MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I AM MAD JACK! I HAVE COME HERE TO KILL YOU!" He advances to one of the players, but he bangs his hand against a wall, jerking the hand in which he's holding the taser with towards his chest, accidentally electrocuting him.
But then another man just like him shows up, but with a knife! "MWAHAHAHAHAHA! I AM MAD JACK THE SECOND! I HAVE COME TO KILL YOU ALL!" But then he trips and accidentally stabs himself.
Then yet another man comes in, but with a gun! "MWAHAHA! I AM MAD JACK THE RIPPER! I HAVE COME TO KILL YOU ALL WHERE MY PREDECESSORS HAVE FAILED. I wouldn't suggest moving, by the way. Or maybe you should. But maybe you shouldn't. But maybe you should? NOW DIE!"
He shoots, but the other players are so befuddled by his attempt at reverse psychology that they don't move and the bullet ricochets off the walls and into his heart.
Zero then sighs at his stupidity and promises to let the other players out if they don't tell anyone what they just saw. The players promptly agree and get the hell out of the building.
The end
You might not understand perfectly, but I owe you a loooooooong explanation. Remember my confession? Well..let's play it, and I'll show you what my plan was and such. Now, put on
the epic music and listen!
Takeru wrote:
"My goal from the start was to discover what had happened to me and why I was here. This I was determined to do,even if someone got in my way."
Now, here's the thing. I had never played any of the Zero Escape games before, and only vaguely knew of the plots while playing this. All I knew was that I was a 24 year old Japanese pilot from WWII called Takeru Korida. I was one of the pilots protecting the secret Antarctic base of the Axis powers from the allies (which surprisingly didn't factor into anything). But things quickly went south, and I was shot down. But then I was suddenly in the Liddell mansion with 8 other people I didn't know. Call me the Alice of this game if you will.
For my abilities, I had a knife hidden in my boot, and I was Harrowed. That meant if someone shot at me, I could avoid the first shot. Unfortunately I never even got to the Weapons Training Room, and I couldn't have even if I did make it that far. And to quote KamiPanda, the knife could've been useful if I were alive at any point in the game.
I definitely was a bit noobish. I accidentally gave away my full name away in my first post, and KamiPanda had to
personally PM me to inform me that everyone went under a codename. Then I changed it to 'P8' instead, then later to 'Kappa' (which had nothing to do with my number, but I liked the whole Greek Letter thing Iota was going for and decided to join in. It's Japanese too as an extra bonus). Plus I had other players speak in my posts, something that Pierre quickly called me out on.
Honestly, I wish I got into the RP mood a bit more overall. Definitely doing that next Game.
But anyway, I'm getting distracted. This first statement isn't technically a lie, but it isn't exactly 100% true. While I did what to find out why I was here, I hadn't properly concocted a plan to do so. I especially didn't plan to kill anyone just to play it safe. Moving on..
Quote:
"At first,the most likely candidate for Zero was Mr.Turbo,who seemed to have enough fame and fortune to devise this whole thing. However..."
Yeah, my suspects list for Zero moved around a lot. Turbo was one of my first candidates for Zero, but he wasn't
the first, technically. That was Marley. It didn't not occur to me that Zero was an older version of us, and I thought that the lines were all prerecorded. And since Zero first interacted with Marley, I found him fishy. Flimsy reasoning indeed, but it was just the start of the game.
Quote:
"I then realised that Zero had given me some important information at the start of the first door phase,about how I was brought here,and about 'Jack'. But just to be safe,I whispered to Mr.Turbo in the washroom anonymously that I was keeping an eye on him."
This is true. I'm a bit disappointed that Zero gave away my entire backstory, but what must be done must be done, I guess. And I did anonymously whisper to Turbo. Franzy herself can confirm this, I think.
The washroom was also pretty terrible for me. I made tons of mistakes ont he puzzle and forgot to do stuff in private. This brings us to our next point.
Quote:
"In the washroom,I failed the battleship puzzle on purpose,to try and deter the group from progressing further. I didn't expect for me to die. Thankfully,the knife in my boot was not found by Ms.Tetra,and I was brought back successfully."
No, I didn't do that on purpose if that's what you're thinking. My idiocy extended so far that I had to be punished. I dunno how I didn't notice the problem. It was so simple, too. I was a bit frightened though when I first died. Little did I know...
I was surprised that Tetra didn't find the knife though. That's why I specifically asked her about what they found on me.
Quote:
"At the time,I didn't know we all had three lives,and Zero told me over the speaker that I had been given a second chance,and to use it wisely. I was scared that I could not die again,and quickly hatched up a plan."
I really didn't know about the 3 lives, but I wasn't that desperate yet. I just asked around, and prepared myself for the next door phase.
I did like though how in hindsight me and Iota were arguing so much considering that I'm technically the reason his family was massacred.
Quote:
"In the kitchen,I was planning to betray everyone,and lock them in the pantry door. I tried to convince the others that it would be beneficial for me to ally,but sadly,nothing happened. Right afterwards,the admin announced that one of us had to die,and..."
I don't think I did a damn thing in the kitchen, thanks to Tetra's ingenius plan. As for the pantry doors, I actually abstained. I'm not sure what the others were planning, though. And as for the whole death thing...
Quote:
"Truth be told,I was planning to kill Mr.Cube myself,for he seemed like a dangerous individual. However,before I could take out my knife,Ms.Tetra came and slit my threat and finished me off. Mr.Cube had no involvement in killing me. But when I came back...I had a plan."
I actually got a bit confused on that one. For some reason I thought by 'death' they meant to say 'hurry up and betray one another already' for the pantry doors. So I never actually planned to kill anyone. If I had known what they meant, I'm not sure what I would've done then. So yeah, I never planned to kill anyone, and Tetra killing me once again was a complete surprise. But there is a shred of truth. I had a plan indeed.
Quote:
"I devised it almost immediately,and it honestly seemed like pure genius. I framed Cube for my murder,to accomplish getting him suspected. Though I do believe that he was the killer in the Caulderwoods murder,but that's irrelevant."
Yes, this is true. I thought since the only witnesses to my murder were Tetra and Cube, I could frame Cube and get away with it. This was my first...naughty moment. I could say he made Tetra take the blame and everyone would have to believe me. But..
Quote:
"Sadly,this plan of mine was foiled by Ms.Chanel and Ms.Trinity,who spoke out against my testimony. I didn't realise that they were listening the whole time,but they threw my testimony into doubt. But I was not ready to give up yet. I had acquired a new target."
Yeah, I didn't know that they were listening to everything. I tried to modify my testimony to account for them, but I didn't really get how the listening device worked. Suffice it to say that pretty much nobody was believing me. Well, except for Turbo somehow. That came in handy later.
By the way, Cube's reaction was GOLD. Thank you, Cesar.
Quote:
"That target was Ms.Trinity,as you may have guessed. Her testimony against me coupled with the protection token she refused to give me,as well as her nervous façade, made her an ideal target. I came up with a proposal that involved Ms.Tetra, Ms.Chanel, and Mr.Cube separated from me and Ms.Trinity."
This is true. I didn't outright say it, but her nervousness actually made me think she was Zero. Either way, I felt that she was suspicious, and had to die.
Quote:
"Luckily,Mr.Turbo bought my testimony,and devised a similar proposal. Not wanting to lose this opportunity,I voted for his proposal,and what do you know,it won! Thus,we went into the garage. At the start,I watched Trinity and took out my knife. I kept my knife under my belt."
Yeah, the first part is true. Turbo helped me a lot, and Cube, Tetra and Chanel weren't there to stop me.
The second part has an obvious contradiction. If you Watch someone at the start of the round, that means you can't even attempt to kill them. I even referenced it afterwards. Or, well, Takeru did. Sadly, no one noticed.
Quote:
"Truth be told,I had a few doubts in there. The newspaper article we found in there made me suspect Mr.Turbo again,and Mr.Marley's parallel universes theories, which I have disproven with this confession,made me want to kill him instead. At one point,I was even considering just stealing the token,but I was missing using the knife."
Pretty much through. I was trying to keep Takeru in character since he wouldn't know about the Parallel Worlds theory. Anyway, the Garage was actually where I did stuff! I got some tools, solved some puzzles (okay, maybe no puzzles) and was just in general helpful!
The way Takeru thought he disproved Marley's theory was because Marley thought that Takeru was from an alternate universe where Cube had killed him instead of Tetra. It's pretty stupid reasoning though.
Quote:
"So when all was done,I decided to kill Ms.Trinity by stabbing her in the back; puncturing her lungs so she couldn't scream or shout. I planned to take the token afterwards. Unfortunately,she sprayed me with something that burned at my eyes,and something that still makes me unable to see properly even now. We both ran away from each other,and I quickly put my knife in my boot again."
This is true. It was quite unfortunate. In hindsight, I probably should've targeted Marley instead so that no one would suspect me. But Trinity pepper sprayed me and I had to run away and quickly stuff the knife back in.
Quote:
"I immediately lied,saying that I was merely planning to steal the token,and no knife was involved. Unfortunately,Mr.Iota found the knife,and afterwards it was bent by Mr.Turbo. I tried to lie again and say that I didn't plan to kill Ms.Trinity with the knife,and it was a mere precautionary measure. No one really bought it."
Once again, true. I was sure that Iota wouldn't find the knife, but he did. Still I had a backup plan, but no one bought it.
Honestly, this attempted crime in the garage was funny because there was an actually successful one there at the same time too. Interesting in hindsight.
Quote:
"Unfortunately,as soon as I entered this room again,an overwhelming sense of regret and remorse came over me,and I decided to confess to everything that I have done."
This was my riskiest plan yet. The confession, to be exact. When I came back into the room for my first (and last) lynching phase, I would give everyone a confession of everything I had done. The catch? I would put in some lies there too just to confuse people. After I finished this testimony, I mocked Iota. This was a nudge to let him know that I was doing this on purpose, so that he would object. This was a case of reverse psychology. Besides the riskiness of the plan, there were a lot of flaws with it.
First off, these 'contradictions' in my testimony were only really known to me and/or KamiPanda. So it would be hard to disprove them. Secondly, these contradictions only served to paint me on a worse light. So I was putting myself in even hotter water. Third, no one would really want to point out flaws. Especially since most of the testimony lines up with the truth. There's a lot more, but you get the idea. Either way, I was screwed. But since I was planning it as a reverse psychology thing. I'd like to think Takeru was rather happy with his plan before he finally died.
Anyway, it was over for me. For the rest of the game, I merely speculated. KamiPanda told me everything, and we talked about this game, the Zero Escape series, some music remixes, and the emoji movie coming July 28th. Sadly, my stupidity extended beyond even death. I made an incorrect assumption that Raster was Zero, not thinking why he would bother killing Iota if he was. But on the plus side, I managed to get KamiPanda to go see the Emoji Movie with me on opening night. Also I learnt his favourite ice cream flavours. He likes choco-mint especially.
Do I regret what I did? Yes. It was a combination of bad luck plus my own stupidity. But I don't regret what I was trying to do- I.e. Trying to spread chaos. I really wish there was more distrust after I left though. Anyway, this game was INSANELY fun. It did go on very long (in fact, it's the longest Game so far), but I was free for most of it. Coincidentally, work begins in a few days. But yes, I LOVED how KamiPanda tried to make this different from the regular ZE games. I had a lot of fun overall even if I did suck. Seriously, I'll never love this down, will I?
But thanks to this game, I've finally gone through all the previous games now, and even the actual ZE ones. 999 and VLR were great! And ZTD...exists. Anyway, that's my long post. Thongs (I meant to write thoughts but I like this better)? Questions? Ask them, and I will answer!
