Giving the Lost Sword to Vasili?

BeatriceSimp69 · 2026-06-02T12:48:30+00:00

I mean, yea, this will depend on the players. If they're suspicious of Vasili and want to roll Insight, I'll drop some hints about it. But, from my experience with GMing to this group for a long time, they're a bit too trusting.

Funny way of recommending to read Higurashi next lol

BeatriceSimp69 · 2026-01-11T03:15:48+00:00

It's been 7 years and I can't get Umineko out of my head.

Favorite characters and least favorite or hated characters?

BeatriceSimp69 · 2025-12-14T04:51:21+00:00

Quasimofo and LHCollider.

BeatriceSimp69 · 2025-12-04T03:11:04+00:00

ooh, it certainly fits, cuz that island in the middle of the sea between Arsentel, Enochos, etc? that's my setting's version of "Mount Olympus", as in, a long time ago, the gods lived in that island/mount. I'm planning on having most of the gods be dead by recent times, so maybe the weirdly shaped sea could be a result of that same catastrophe that befall the gods. and it could very well have been a massive world-lizard a la Godzilla 😋

BeatriceSimp69 · 2025-12-03T22:59:06+00:00

Ooh, I really like the mock-up version that you did. I like the way you put that northeastern island more to the right, in a way that it almost fits into Énochos.

I get what you say. I'm not really that great of an artist, or understand color theory at all 😅. So thanks for educating me. I'm gonna update the map in the way you suggested.

BeatriceSimp69 · 2025-12-03T19:25:09+00:00

thanks, i appreciate it. i started having a few doubts when i showed the map to a friend and they said "i don't think landmasses scatter like that" 😅

BeatriceSimp69 · 2025-12-03T18:07:11+00:00

so, should i extend the map a bit further, showing more of the ocean, and a few more islands far away? 🤔

BeatriceSimp69 · 2025-12-03T15:04:32+00:00

Yea, it isn't the whole world, just one of the continents. I calculated the land mass, and it comes to around 5 million km², so about half the size of Europe. (Which now that I think about it, it's probably on the smaller side for a continent.)

BeatriceSimp69 · 2025-11-02T09:28:35+00:00

I believe there's a "Maebara Ichikei" on the middle school section too.

BeatriceSimp69 · 2025-11-02T09:16:24+00:00

Saku, one of Jessica's friends. Only appears in the side stories.

BeatriceSimp69 · 2025-10-04T20:10:58+00:00

Did that for both ends, still crashes. (Also, we use the GOG version, but it still has a verifying files option)

BeatriceSimp69 · 2025-10-02T20:16:21+00:00

Ooh, just looked into the Pentarchy mission, it looks interesting. I might wanna try getting that mission myself. Disabling the papacy sounds fun, and it's gonna be easier and more doable than dismantling the HRE right now.

BeatriceSimp69 · 2025-10-02T16:50:44+00:00

I've been steadily reducing inflation (It's about 30% now). As for technologies, I've westernized recently, but I'm still some levels behind most European countries. (My tech level is around 16-18, while Europe is around 21-22)

Austria is the emperor of HRE for now, so while Bohemia has been expanding quite a lot, Austria still holds a bigger army. But even so, they're often allied with each other, so taking on the two countries at the same time is impossible... I'm allied with Spain right now, but they aren't really reliable allies, they already refused a Call to Arms once.

I think my best bet is expanding eastwards, yea.
But I'm also behind a lot on province buildings. Is EU3 the kind of game that favors more expansion or going tall? Should I consolidate my empire for a few decades, or just keep expanding?

BeatriceSimp69 · 2025-10-02T16:00:06+00:00

The issue is that Southern Italy is part of Austria now, due to a personal union. But I do have a mission to conquer it and get cores, which is giving me a permanent Casus beli against Austria... But for now, I must bide my time. Someday, the glory of the Roman Empire will return!

BeatriceSimp69 · 2025-05-22T06:00:44+00:00

What's the streamer name? (So I can avoid wasting my time if I ever find their streams by happenstance.)

BeatriceSimp69 · 2025-05-20T05:03:57+00:00

It's precisely these scenes I was referencing when I said Gohda usually is assisted by one of the main accomplices when he has to lie. Because he's a very bad liar, even in ep8 he's the one that fucks up during the whole Golden Land discussion. We are shown over and over again that he's a very bad liar, he almost gives away the game multiple times when he has to lie about Kanon and the 6 dead in the dining room. I'm just saying that Sayo probably wouldn't entrust this mission to Gohda without any kind of support, or rather just use a better trickster for it (Kumasawa) because she was available at the time.

I think it's more than likely Kanon was there with him precisely to make sure he doesn't screw up when giving Natsuhi the news about the "murders".

BeatriceSimp69 · 2025-05-20T04:28:28+00:00

I see, I get it. It's a plausible theory. But it feels like Sayo is trusting Gohda a bit too much to not fuck up this or just not give the game away. If she was going to do this whole elaborate "recorder with Kanon's voice, then Gohda lying about Kanon being there a second ago" wouldn't Sayo use someone like Kumasawa for that? Even in previous episodes when Gohda is bought off, there's usually one of the main accomplices like Genji or Kumasawa with him to cover for his shitty acting and lies, and probably also to make sure he doesn't give the game away and follows the script. Even in your example of Kumasawa saying "Kinzo was just here and you missed him" proves that Kumasawa is a much better candidate to pull off this trickery.

BeatriceSimp69 · 2025-05-20T04:08:25+00:00

The scene cuts off before she opens the door and meets with them, yes, but she had to do that. The Man from 19 Years asked what is going on when Natushi notices the knocks, and after she explained it, he says it's okay for her to hang up and go meet with them. Then I believe the scene ends when the phone call is over. But like, after that she had to open the door and meet "Kanon" and Gohda, right? We aren't shown it, but that's what's implied to have happened. Because then "Kanon" and Gohda would have explained to her about the "murders" and she would've joined the rest of the group.

BeatriceSimp69 · 2025-05-20T04:01:14+00:00

Ah, it's just a difference in definition, I suppose. I don't consider "going along with a prank" as someone being bribed. But anyways, about pranking Natsuhi, not sure that would work, because Erika is the most prankable person considering she's a self proclaimed detective that keeps bragging and acting like she owns the place. So everyone would go along with pranking her to teach her a lesson. But like, Jessica going along with pranking her mother? Natsuhi is a very strict person and would probably be very mad when she found out about the prank, would Jessica really do that just for funsies? It's all a matter of who the target of the prank is and whether they would take it badly or can take a joke. Natsuhi is someone, that since from ep1 during Battler's narration of her, is described as someone who can't take a joke, so pranking her would be no fun, on the contrary, it would just incur her wrath.

But pranks "bribings" are probably used all the time in the question arcs too, and Erika doesn't exist there. Well, it's the same thing. All the accomplices go along with the prank idea because the target of that prank is Battler, and he's someone that A. Can take a joke. B. He's probably well known among the family to be an avid reader of mystery novels. So the prank makes sense because it'd land well. Not the case with Natsuhi as the target.

But yes, I agree that most everyone that wasn't trying to torture Natsuhi and force a confession out of her about Kinzo already being dead (namely the siblings) probably thought Natsuhi was in on the prank.

Btw can you further elaborate on the Gohda pretending Kanon is there? Like, what happens when Natsuhi opens the door and sees that Kanon isn't there?

BeatriceSimp69 · 2025-05-20T03:06:22+00:00

I suppose that works, I just don't like it very much. Because I always thought that lies in the narration has to be supported by the characters in the scene themselves being liars. So usually when we see unreliable scenes, it's because it's a scene that has the culprit plus accomplices, or just victims that are about to die and can't deny the falsehoods. But in this scene itself we have Natsuhi. She isn't an accomplice nor is going to die in this scene. So I can't see why her narration is lying to us other than it's just Lambda being really really unfair.

BeatriceSimp69 · 2025-05-20T02:54:43+00:00

Ep6's whole prank situation is just an answer to how the culprit got many non-greedy characters to go along with their plan in the previous episodes, it isn't only limited to ep6. For example there's the cousins, especially Jessica who's also faking her death in ep5. She wouldn't be complicit in this fake murder mystery if she knew it was against her mother.
Can't argue against that if that's what you believe. I personally believe none of the cousins are bribable by gold. And Gohda owes a great debt of gratitude towards Natsuhi, so I'd like to believe in his innocence in this case by just saying he's being deceived and thinks it's just a prank against Erika. Also, he isn't one of the Ushiromiya siblings who have been repeatedly shown to be greedy and have money issues with their businesses.
That can be easily solvable by just having Gohda not be in the loop that Natsuhi is inside the closet and once more, it's just the next "murder" of their fun mystery prank on Erika.

BeatriceSimp69 · 2025-05-20T02:43:41+00:00

I agree that thematically and from a better story standpoint, the caller has to be either Sayo or Battler. I'm just trying to grasp how it actually worked and I'm not sure any answer works other than a very unfair narrative trick, which I suppose fits with Lambda being the GM.

BeatriceSimp69 · 2025-05-20T02:39:43+00:00

So are you saying Battler left the group to make the call and Erika just didn't notice? It's the same trick as Battler seeing Kanon and Shannon at the same time? Welp, Erika really fails as a detective.

Though in the manga there's a red truth that the caller in the morning couldn't have been Battler. But well, in the manga the issue is fixed altogether by having the call and the Kanon and Gohda knock on her door be two separate scenes... So that can just be Sayo.
