In response to commentary, =D

"Man, these team has some pretty good hitters. Although, I question why Joe Mauer is so deep into the line-up. I would expect him to be the four-hitter."

ANSWER: Joe Mauer has been the #2 hitter the past seven games but he's got a sub 200 batting average. He's bumped down, hopefully to allowing people with better records to score more hits and runs.

And after watching the game, glad he was there =D

"well its a mega mana topic so it'll obviously be high quality" - Ryokles

Damn. So I just skipped the entire chapter, noticed it's ALL Ange & Stakes (& Lambadelta) and then chapter end.

And the first thing that pops up is Envy! DOG GONE IT!

Blah, I'll read it tomorrow, I just don't have the patience right now.

“So we’ve cornered Andy and Kyle in the Swarts stairwell and then this guy comes out of NO WHERE like ****ing Batman or something.” ; ExTha is the man

BAH. 1998. Can't... can't Ange be in like Raccooon City or something. Let's get some zombies in this. Only to have them kill off this plot thread.

- Whoa, who's this creepy person?
- Great, Professor Ootsuki who loves the occult and researches it. Yaaay. Why is this episode good again?
- Cool, Kinzo was the keeper of rare magic books. Fantastic.
- ... I see. So this 1998 stuff is to establish more and more people believing in her and in magic which causes her to grow stronger. Fun. Now, let's go back to Battler and work to prove the first game wasn't done with magic! Then this episode doesn't exist!
- So Maria didn't write Maria's diary? Or does Ange have Maria's real diary and these are just... whatever, I don't care. None of it matters.
- I get it. But both are the truth since there are multiple episodes.
- Huh, Ange showing him the diary. This is actually an interesting event.
- Poor guy, awesome Ange.
- Beatrice wrote the messages. Woo.
- *eyerolls at Kasumi*
- Maria just gave Ange a stake? The hell is wrong with that girl?
- Wonder which stake it is. Lucifer? Oh god, wait... only one left? Please... no.,.. not... 45 & 410 will be the main furniture... nooooo...
- Mammon... Greed? The brunette? Killed Kinzo in the fourth twilight game one, and Shannon 4th game two. Don't think she's had much time yet.
- Scorpion bracelet! Woo! I hope Natsuhi's mirror shows up at some point again. Could Battler still have one in his pocket? Hmm.
- 5/7 not bad. Yay, chapter done!

--
"well its a mega mana topic so it'll obviously be high quality" - Ryokles

Did Chris' topic purge? ;_;

PREVIOUSLY ON UMINEKO Z!!!

Kinzo-eyes. That's all I remember. Probably some boring Ange-Maria-Beatrice stuff, but who the **** cares?

POLL: What's scarier? Kinzo eyes or anything from Black Swan?

- Wonder what Beatrice is giving Sakutaro. Wonder how dressed up Sakutaro will be by the time this is up? Stupid wearable items. He'll get backgrounds and troll secondhand shoppes for stuff and just play dailies so he can find new items to put in his closet.
- Crap. It's Virgilia. Die monster, you don't belong in this world! Bring me more Kumasawa! You've got Maria witch, Kumasawa witch, Jessica-Eva witch, and new to Chapter 4, Rule 63 Battler witch. No more witches!!!
- When did they get here anyway? Is this part of Ange-Maria-Diary imaginationland?
- Don't take candy from strangers! Even if it may or may not be pumpkin shaped.
- Sakutaro is no Maria's kid? Uh...huh.
- ... Well, demon eyes. Know that much. But... uh... God these witches and magic games are infuriating. He reminds me of Little Pete from Pete & Pete.
- So... yeah, when is this again? Ange reading the diary, a diary entry itself, or... blah. That's what I get for not paying any attention. Whatevs.
- MARIA has nice shoes.
- More magic origins? DON'T CARE! Back to Rokkenjima, please, for the love of Beatrice!

"Wolverine received no points whatsoever." ~ HolyExcalibur on Board 8's Top 100 Fictional Characters of 2010

- Stop it Sakutaro. You're not scary, yet, but you're defintely upsetting. Still Kinzo eye residuals.
- The hell, Sakutaro? Psychic hotline? Rosa won't be back til Sunday? Pajama party? Pedolion. Mmm, false accusations at the moment. Just rattled. But don't be a perverted demon later, please!
- What's with Rosa? I'm guessing... she's seeing someone?

ANGE: "This ticket stub is clearly strange."
MARIA: *shakes her head* "I don't see anything strange about it." *Ange's health bar goes down*

- Yeah, my happiness exists in a single scrap of paper, too. Well, actually severela scrap of paper. A bunch of post-it notes to hide the face of Kinzo when next he appears!
- The power that MARIA has but ANGE does not... as taught by BEATRICE.
- Ooh, Ronove is Sakutaro is Kinzo? That would be fun.

Augh, I'm headaching. I'm too worried about the next time Kinzo pops up and can't focus at all. Maybe more now, maybe more later. But ********************ing Goldsmith face.

Sir Chris has been killed. He was a Marine, Town Vanilla (KN1)

- What's with Rosa & Maria being all buddy-buddy? Is this the whole "Rosa is the best mom ever" stuff talked about last topic? I'm getting sick thinking what horrible twists await.
- Her mood worsened because she knows that Maria never got a letter in this game. Kinzo is going to dinner. Or so we think. Is Kinzo really alive? I doubt it >_>
- More Diary stuff. Wonder what the big point of these will be. Rokkenjima, Tea Room, Ange's Future, Maria's Past... interesting.
- Poor Maria. Reminded of the girl from Persona 4 who was sitting around all day while dad's at work and I do whatever. I need to play that some more.
- Sakutaro is creeping the hell out of me? Why? One, Goldsmith has me on the edge of paranoid breakdown. Two, nothing good can come out of a talking stuffed animal. Nothing. Especially one that just blows up to the size of the screen by turning sideways.
- ...
- THEORY: Sakutaro IS Goldsmith. He's a demon puppet controlling a Kinzo puppet! It makes perfect sense!

KRAUSS: Hello, Grandfather! Need to prove you're alive to the siblings. Afraid this last absence ended up making...
KINZO: Krauss...
KRAUSS: Look at you.
KINZO: Just turn around and walk away.
KRAUSS: You're a-
KINZO: Krauss!
KRAUSS: You're a bloody puppet!

- So Crazy Eyed Kinzo is known as Goldsmith. That's... whatever. Just please go back to normal.

- HA! Your evil stare can't pass through layers of Post-It notes! So I can't read 1/4 of the words, I WILL PASS BY YOU!
- DAMMIT DON'T MOVE AROUND!
- **** Don't come to dinner, don't come to dinner, don't don't don't

No. No it's not the best.

It's the worst. It's pure, unadulterated Nightmare Fuel.

I'm really, really hoping Kinzo's actually dead and that's just some freakish meat puppet.

I'm actually not because that's terrifying, but at least I can make sense of it if it's like that

LAST TIME ON UMINEKO Z

Names, misdirection, and red truths. These were the ingredients chosen to create the perfect closed room. But Lady Beatrice accidentally added an extra ingredients to the concoction--

Mystery Person X

Thus, The Devil's Proof was born! Using their super-observing powers, Battler, "Gretel", and Kyrie-san, have dedicated this game to fighting Beatrice and the forces of magic!

BA BA BA BABA BAAA BA

- As much as I loved Kyrie, I think she's pushing too hard against Krauss at the moment for my liking. But then, where else could you go if you didn't follow through? It doesn't help that Krauss could certainly be hiding Kinzo's previous demise.
- **** you random Beatrice giggle.
- O_O

Okay, I am going to have nightmares tonight.

I just X'd out of ... god... what... why...

The Pyro is totally Maria. All of those muffled groans are uu~'s.

Mmfmmh mf Mmhm-

*takes off gasmask*

Speaking of Maria... is it wrong that I'm totally picturing NioraptH as Maria at the moment. From the childlike innocence and casual love for violence in the B8BL Commentary (as well as an audible "Uu~") to what I just read in her Xena topic about being bullied and always imagining Xena to have come saved her... am I... wrong in just suddenly picturing that? >_>

"Why does Valve not allow me to melt down this garbage into metal? I will never use them and nobody will ever take them. I am mad." - Bio on crates

"She doesn't have to sue it at whatever time the human side desires.... But that depends on the details."
- Whaaat?

It's not her responsibility to read red when it's just to repeat, but when it's our claim to destroy witch theory... excellent deduction? So if we claim Kinzo did it and this proves witches don't exist, she will have to use red truth to try and disprove this claim? Because if it isn't refuted, it can stand as truth opposed to the witch's? Nice.

Minute to Win It.

Challenge the riddles with a Wall of Blue? Nice.

Damn... Alright. Here's hoping there's no third color.

"Ushiromiya Kinzo is already dead. Therefore, the true number of people on the island is 17! By adding an unknown person X to that, it becomes 18 people! By supposing that this person X exists, the crime is possible even if all 17 people have alibis!"

I see what you guys are on about now.

Oh ****. So... oh... damn, that's... but... oh the six toes in the incinerator thing? Kinzo's body is resting elsewhere while a different body is in the incinerator to make it look like Kinzo was dead when in fact Kinzo was never th... but that body's still a number. It's still of the 18. Isn't it?

How'd they go from "hiding Kinzo's death and only saying he's still alive" to "Evatrice's red names may not have been anyone on Rokkenjima at all. She could be talking about some totally different Eva, Battler, Jessica, or a dead person."

Just noticed, it's been a month since I started playing. Wonderful =P

"After Jessica was injured, Eva was always under Battler's supervision. Battler is neither the culprit or an accomplice. By this, we can establish a perfect alibi for Eva."
- A perfect alibi for Eva AFTER Jessica's injury.

"Eighteen people, humans only, fifteen people dead, Final Destination."
"Battler, Eva, and Jessica are alive."
"Eva was with you the whole time. So committing a crime was impossible for her. Of course, Battler-kun isn't the culprit. He wasn't forging an alibi for her, and he too kthe possibility that she was the culprit into account, watching over her actions carefully. No chance existed for her to do anything suspicious. In short, at the time of the crime, only Nanjo and Jessica were in the servant room."
- AFTER Jessica's injury.

Wait, at the time of the crime... dammit. Is the crime Nanjo's death? Because then, ****. But unless it's dead Nanjo in room with Jessica... that's reason enough to change what room she's in or that she didn't notice.

So... hmm...

“So we’ve cornered Andy and Kyle in the Swarts stairwell and then this guy comes out of NO WHERE like ****ing Batman or something.” ; ExTha is the man

"well its a mega mana topic so it'll obviously be high quality" - Ryokles

No Angel today, finished listening to ranking songs, waiting for my game of B8BL before doing last two, and I don't feel like TF2/NEStalgia/ranking shows/finding something new to distract me.

IT'S TIME FOR UMINEKO! AND IT'S ZANY TO THE WECK-O... uh...

DUNNA DA DA, DUN DA DUN DAAAA, DUN NA NAA, DADADADADADA DUN DAAAAAAAAA DUN DUN DA!

- Eva and Nanjo discuss Kinzo's condition. I've been away from them so long, I almost forgot their names.
- Krauss brings up their lack of funds again.
- Oooh, what's Kyrie up to? Acknowledging Krauss's caretaker status, Krauss is the successor...
- If Krauss dies of unnatural causes, Krauss gives up his rights as caretaker?
- Ho ho ho! Kyrie and the others all suspect Kinzo is already deceased and Krauss is hiding this fact? Nice.
- NANJO CLUES! Wait, what? What doesn't contradict? What? Beatrice said who was a live and who was dead and there were only 18. What? "That father is already dead and I've been hiding it?"

You mean to tell me that... Nanjo... he already died? He died much earlier int he story and Beatrice was hiding it? Like how Eva was in places she wasn't supposed to be? ...WHAT?!

Oh god, I am dumb. His face was attacked by a stake. But so were so many other people... Dammit, do I have to read Episode 3 again to determine where Nanjo would have, could have died? I remember he contributed nothing to the game except that he was on the second floor of the guest house with the children always. Like Eva in her bed with Hideyoshi, was this a lie? That's right, it was never stated when he died. But if it wasn't Eva, Battler, or Jessica, who did it?

...

...

Nanjo accompanied Hideyoshi, Kyrie, and Rudolf on the trip to get food and Hideyoshi (or Rudolf or Kyrie, but likely Hideyoshi) killed Nanjo? One of Nanjo/Rudolf/Kyrie killed Hideyoshi and Eva came in and killed the other? Or maybe Nanjo killed Hideyoshi and E- no, Eva didn't.

WHAT THE ****!!!

- Kasumi Subitterera is Kyrie's sister
- So Kyrie is awesome and Kasumi is not, got it.
- All her tools prepared?
- Ange jumps onto the car roof as jazz music plays!
- Now Amakusa? Who is... an androgynous wannabe gangsta?
- Former bodyguard of Eva and exiled from France. Fired for talking too much. Not bad.
- Yeah, I don't know what the truth is here. Don't really care either.
- Oh really, Bernkastel? Yeah, sure, it's a nice escape attempt, but it's still boring.
- "As long as truth isn't denied/observed, it keeps it's form"

Dr. Nanjo died of a mysterious not-suicide and Eva apparently didn't "did it." Things went crazy, like Virgilia ****ing eyes, and a new girl joins the Rokkenjima Rompus Room. Too bad she brings the outside world to the table. We've spent the last five episodes watching the equivalent of ANGE powering up while she talks to Diary Maria and her lion. Let's hope it ends soon or this narrator might be gone another week.

DUNNA DA DA, DUN DA DUN DAAAA, DUN NA NAA, DADADADADADA DUN DAAAAAAAAA DUN DUN DA!


- Maria goes to the grocery store.
- Maria and Sakutaro likie sweet buns and yogurt
- Man is nice and gives her free soda
- I'm reminded of little girl in Persona 4 I only just met. I'm in May. It's awesome.
- Ange and Maria discuss magic
- Battler falls asleep in the tea room
- Ange sees Maria with her eyes closed
- Ange closes diary.
- Look and sound like we're on the boat to Rokkenjima, but it's really more Ange
- The trio of bullies are really a trio of giggling Beatrices
- And we're done? I hope? Please? Don't end the scene and make it go back to Ange, please!
- **** you game. **** you.
- Whose the ass with the ponytail? I already want to smash his face in.
- Oh great, now we have THREE character boards. Because the future's going to be so important. **** this.
- Ange jumped off a 200-meter skyscraper and lived? Dammit, we're never getting rid of her.
- I like how it just went ten pages on who he is and his relationship to Hideyoshi and Eva without mentioning a name.
- Ange wears the head ring.
- Police can't find evidence to pin this on Eva. You can try to find proof she's guilty, but you can't prove her innocence (unless you prove someone's else guilt perhaps?)
- Depending on whether you feel love for the other side, the way you see things is completely different.
- Can Ange and Nameless ******* stop talking now? Please?
- Ange believes Eva's the culprit and nothing can change that? Because the truth in her is already decided? I guess I know the theme Beatrice will try to use to sway Battler this time.
- Oh finally! Okonogi Tetsurou... ... yeah.... I liked you better nameless. I'll call you Gideon from now on.
- New music's nice, but I really don't care at all for this.
- Does Gideon want her to escape from the Sumaderas?
- Ange making an escape attempt
- Oh look, Virgilia's future counterpart

More later. I need a break.

I suppose...

Ange and not breaking the Nanjo case (plus twenty other distractions and projects, half of which I started since this topic began) leave me pessimistic for the future, but I'll go forward.

Hmm, what's that?

Oh sorry, I was watching a blue power rangers use five swords to kill a bad guy.

Five swords. At once.

Two in one hand, three in the others. Five swords.

Yeah, sorry Sakutaro. You're just not badass enough unless you have five. swords.

Forgot to bump the previous topic, =(. Alright, unless I get another call to hang out or sudden urge to watch eight hours of a show I haven't seen in years... Umineko time!

- The Diary of Maria. Interesting! I wonder what she wrote about in her time before and during Rokkenjima.
- Birthday stories.
- Cardcaptor Sakura? Isn't that... 1996 on? Touhou reference was too. Rokkenjima's 1986. Hmmm
- Sakutaro! Reminds me of Doshin the Giant pictures back before Gamecube.
- This is sweet, but I'm being driven to sleep. And I just woke up.

Ange's Future... is boring.

Also, you haven't solved Game 3, but what about Games 1 and 2? Which twilights do you not have a solution for?

All 3! I think

Game 1: Eva did it. The only closed room that couldn't reasonably be broken by anyone else was Eva's. The chain was not unlike the Kinzo mystery where the murderer killed Eva and Hideyoshi in their own room and only could escape after the chain was broken by outsiders. Nanjo checked Hideyoshi's vitals, but not Eva's, and their room was never returned to again so we can't establish their corpses remaining there. However, the same could be said for everyone else in the game it seems. But it is unlikely one of those from the storeroom could have locked themselves in and gotten into Eva & Hideyoshi's room. Any of the murders following Eva's closed room could've had any killer. I suspect Eva the most though, with Kumasawa as a second. Maybe even Natsuhi considering Eva's not always where she was assumed to be in Game 3. Natsuhi could've killed Kinzo, made her own door look scratched up, and used the gun to kill some other people. When she stormed out of the meeting, she could've gone and given Maria the letter. May have to check again to see when Natsuhi arrived at Eva's room, but I think she was outside with Kanon when he first got there. Perhaps she painted the outside? Hmm...

Game 2: Too busy trying to scrub the goat teeth visual from my memory to care.

- Helicopter! Or plane! lol Battler. Pervy Rudolf is hilarious.
- Ooh, ANGE and Bernkastel in frozen time. Poor ANGE.
- Love the new credits. Ange, Virgilia, the golden stacks, the shoulder war towers, the stakes and Locus blades. Excellent stuff. I do miss the creepy ass 'everybody with a Phanto face' scene, but it's alright.
- Damn, Battler's been shell-shocked by the Game Three strategy. Or perhaps, he's still trying to figure out how Nanjo died and can't come to grips with it. I know how he feels.
- Oh what the... smooth jazz? Did this turn into MvC2 all of a sudden? Beato's gonna take you for a ride!
- XD, between the jazz, croissant hijinks, and finger pointing, this feels like the beginning of a Phoenix Wright case. Probably something about instant noodles or the Steel Samurai.
- Hmm... why's Maria in the Fantasy section? Lambdadelta backing Beatrice, Bernkastel backing ANGE, Maria in-between? This looks interesting.
- Battler x Beelzebub!
- What the hell? Cheering for Beatrice's entrance? This has become a sitcom. Alright, where's the Trickster?
- Beelzebub and Battler's shared reaction to her entrance is top-tier. If Beelzebub doesn't piss me off by the end of the episode, she's going to be very highly ranked.
- "It seemed neither had a clue what was going on with the other."
- Ronove top-tier too.
- ANGE with the badass entrance.
- Yeh, don't make fun of how pathetic Battler's been acting. He's totally pulling a DiNozzo!
- The hell is a Menger sponge?
- Note to self: Don't always trust Ronove then. Even if he's a bro.
- "That's my name, dumbass."

SHAMELESS SELF-PROMOTION: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/58317484

Go nominate songs from television shows! Preferably songs that play during the episodes themselves or for a certain scene or what-have-you, but intros are cool too. It make me a very happy Mana!


Interesting statement for the episode. We're exploring outside a bit? Hmm. Also, still haven't figured out Nanjo's cause of death. What would you say is the average percent of players who figure it out before they open Episode 4? I don't want Maria's rose to be the only thing I solve in this game.

Checking the Nanjo situation:
- In response to multiple personalities, she only said Jessica's eyes were blocked and murder impossible. In white, she says the body could not have been used. Does Jessica have multiple personalities? Eva? Battler? Her body, but not her mind? I'm not seeing any loopholes aside from a dead person doing the deed.

Nanjo tripped over a body, fell looking into his or her face, and it somehow triggered a gunshot into his face? Or stabbing motion?

Whatever. I'm sure I'll figure it out someday.

ONTO EPISODE 4! I tire of this mystery.

Turns out plans to marathon more of Angel were cancelled today and postponed until tomorrow.

Which is a shame because I was planning to go full on Episode 4 tomorrow. Guess I'll have to try and make up for it today!

I'm more concerned that he has the best mom ever at the bottom!

Better than Kyrie? SURELY YOU JEST! and Episode 1 Natsuhi trumps Episode 2 Rosa soooooooo much that it carries over into the other episodes where they don't do much. And Eva? I like her poison tongue more than the Doubleslap technique.

From: Raka_Putra | #008
The worst thing is the lovable duo of the moe and bubbly 45 and mischievous 410 at the bottommost of the ranking.

Maybe things will change. Would it help if I called them Presea and Raine?

"yeah but i seriously doubt anybody ... is going to be casually browsing through someone's credit report between bites of a baconator" - Ryoko

Yeah, Star Wars is just something that had six I could rank. Thought about doing Lost, but I KNOW that would spawn posts about the Lost rankings instead of the playthrough.

Debating whether to play this now or get to B8BL. Three new games to mark up. Two hours til TF2... mmm...
