Hello yes I heard there was a lovely trainwreck here and...

So at this point I'm thinking I know the reason the judge let us loose on this one:

After watching everyone do their thing, the judge thought to themselves,
"the gently caress, guys? The council has been murdered and this is all you're gonna do about it? Just go, yup, this is the guy and ignore the fact that everything about this is suspicious? You're not even looking for evidence! For fucks sake we're standing right next to a fence that smells of mortal explosives and you're all just declaring a demon did it and moving on without any thought?! You know what? Screw you guys, the freaking exile that ruined everything is a better choice than you idiots"


That said, for everything we've seen you know what we still haven't seen? Any conclusive evidence that the council is actually dead. I'm sticking to my theory that love dies called it in episode one when she asked about it.

My biggest question with that thought is: what's the motive for the council to play dead instead of get the ego boost from being in charge of the perfect island? For that matter it doesn't seem like they'd need something like this to talk folks into just ditching Henry on this island or getting rid of him when they were expecting the next island to finally end the search for a perfect one. The only idea I have for that is that somehow they figure they have to be gone as figures in order for the island to be truly perfect, which would explain why certain folks are very invested in the cover story, but then why wasn't Judge co-opted or hacked somehow? It's just stupid to leave an AI as a loose end when trying to pull this kinda crap, even if the Council somehow forgot Lady Love Dies was exiled, not irretrievable.

I hope we can get some amount of justice for Henry. It's a bit much to expect that the book pusher is definitely directly involved in the Council murder plot, but it'd be nice to get some currently comfortable and non-exiled jackass stuck in front of the Judge for at best reckless negligence in magical teaching if not being directly responsible for giving a Citizen who doesn't know the risks that exist the tools to gently caress themselves up permanently and ruin an island to boot.

Hello yes I heard there was a lovely trainwreck here and...

I seem to recall Starlight's notes at one point saying Lady LD was seduced and another note somewhere I thought said she was deceived by a god. Being set up by a god like that probably isn't that different from being set up by a demon similarly but ending up possessed looks like a much more serious and permanent affair given all the poo poo they have set up to keep Henry locked down. Not sure the notes on any of the collectibles have talked a lot about any other possession cases but I get the sense you do not Get Better after being possessed (though what also is weird is that they kept him alive all this time, why the hell not kill him?)

Hi! Sorry about the necro only to give bad news. Obviously, this LP is pretty much dead in the water, and it's my own fault. I managed to lose my backup saves and also record a bunch of content that has corrupted audio and/or missing video. These stupid errors compounded on each other in a way that is genuinely catastrophic. At this point, recovery would involve literally replaying the whole dang game based on my videos to return up to where I was. Since I really, really didn't want to do that, I more or less abandoned this for, let's see here, 6 months?

I'm mostly posting this to say, I have begun the process of restarting. It is the very definition of Not Fun so I am taking it slow. Don't wait with bated breath for this LP's triumphant return, but return it will.

Cripes, the LP curse strikes again. Condolences and don't worry, we'll still be here when you get your stuff back up to speed.
