MB: So I would say that overall, given the big impact on my side, the predominant parameter is not the story of the owl, it's not the enigmas, it's the owls.
It is the participants in the game who have induced a significant amount of passion and emotion into the game and who mean that today we go beyond the usual rules of an organized treasure hunt game.
We can no longer consider it as such because there are so many affects, there are so many emotions, there are so many implications, there are so many egos.
(Q - Draz: It's the social networks that do that. On a nice party you don't have any arguments. On discord which lives up to its name, and it's the social networks that do that cause there to be a shouting match Earlier I wanted to say something, but those who came across me know that I talk a lot and so they immediately stop me shouting for you. what is it - it's discord... I can guarantee you, I'm sure, I've experienced it many times When you meet the researchers in real life, even if they are not d. Okay, everything we hear here doesn't exist around a table. I think Mr. Becker understood the message very well. a lot on the fact that here I guarantee that in reality, the researchers, no matter where they come from, what they have as a solution, they do not argue like that.)
MB: So, thank you for this intervention. I took part in 2 great parties. Great parties involve a few dozen people. That’s 20 30 40 50 60 people.
(Q - Draz: Just because it's 3 or 4 times more doesn't mean there's going to be an argument.)
MB: But of course yes, that changes everything. From the moment when (we are not at 200 or 300, there we are on the discord, there are more than 3000. There are not 3000 talking, there are no There aren't 3,000 people who are connected, but there are 3,000 people who are registered on the discord. That is to say, we have been in the process of doing this for a year now, and I was the first to do so. at all perceived this dimension But today I perceive it very well today we are in a context where, whatever the number of speakers, the reference, the number of listeners, the number of recipients of all this. who can say where to write on discord, it's more than 3000 people It's not 50, 60 it's more than 3000. It changes the situation. Addressing 30 people to 50, 60 is not at all the same as when you address 3000.
Today we have, through this Discord forum which does not bear its name well. it has nothing to do with discord, the name Discord, I know very well that it was a play on words, that's why I also take it with humor, but we are not in the discord. On the contrary, we are in a phenomenon which today allows a certain number of people interested in the owl to return to the subject, to connect on the subject, to learn, to hear and to know what is happening.
So the situation is completely different, but what remains, what is inerasable, impossible to erase, is the emotional side of the story, it is the fact that, when we talk to elders, there are some on Discord, there are some who will never come, but we find them elsewhere, people who were there on the first day of history, me, when I talk about the A2CO, I talk about the veterans of the Golden Owl because it's true in a way.
These are people who are from the last century, who experienced history at its beginning and who positioned themselves in relation to that. Today, we have young researchers, it's the opposite extreme, people who have just arrived and who are discovering history. And then between that, we have the whole range of people who have been there for a year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, 5 years, 10 years, 20 years, etc. So we have this whole range which is represented and we realize that today, the history of the fact that it has lasted for 30 years, is inscribed, whether we like it or not, in the collective imagination .
It is part of a collective culture and consequently, the people who are interested in it and who speak out and who are involved in history, have a lot of difficulty remaining cold, neutral, factual, completely...I would say objective and there is always an element of affect that intervenes at one time or another, so it causes tensions, it causes arguments, it causes opposition, bias, whatever you want.
But we are in a story that has lasted for a long time and which goes beyond the framework of a simple contemporary exchange, we are talking today between us, we are on Discord this evening between us, but we are talking about a story that has lasted for 30 years, so it's much more complicated than a game that started 6 months ago and takes place now.
