... What happens if one team loses all its members, anyways?

[recrypt]

By the rules we're supposedly playing with, I assume they're out of the competition.

That said, I don't necessarily think it's that simple. The castle had a setup that was apparently similar, but- the easy answer, eliminating one faction... It wouldn't have ended the way we want things to here.

this is what i get for being busy for a week ]

We have a planned ending? Besides "everybody lives and goes home with no bad side effects"?

[recrypt]

That's the ending we want, but I'm pretty sure none of us have any idea how to achieve that yet.

[ you


didn't miss any plot stuff, it's fine ]

I meant, more... From what I heard of the castle, which was the one game I know to utilize a three faction setup like this one... Eliminating any faction in its entirety would have been wrong. Apparently, for their best ending that allowed everyone to go back and bring back their dead, they needed members from all three factions alive.

[muragas]

... Ah.

[ hm ]

If that's true, then combined with the supposed "only three" finale reward... This could get really vicious.

[ unless we're all to tired/traumatized to do so ]

[recrypt]

I expect it to, once it sinks in that the directors won't tell us about any other alternatives.

[ whether they exist is another thing entirely. ]

We can't give up though. Not when there's still so much we don't know. Unless we've turned over every stone, there still could be more we could do.

[recrypt]

Of course not, but I don't expect that everyone will be able to maintain that faith. There is almost certainly more to things than any of us know, but whether or not we can hold it together long enough to find those things out...

[ it's more clinical than pessimistic, very levelly neutral in attempt at analysis. ]

That's the part I'm unsure about.

[muragas]

All we can do is do our best to be there for each other.

[ endurance in the face of a devastating fate... what else can people do but cling to what they have? ]

If we start just abandoning each other, there really won't be any chances left.

[recrypt]

... a task better suited for people like you, I think.

But if you and others can keep their spirits up, it might be what we need to get through this.

[muragas]

Ehehe...

[ she blushes, embarrassed. pegged that easily, huh? ]

I'll do my best! So I hope you can count on me, 45-san.
