(Q - ??: And they were interested in Max Valentin, so they said to themselves, who is the character of Max Valentin? And so somewhere, he allowed himself to look elsewhere
than in the book.
MB: No, but I don't know what they said to each other. I am responding to the fact that you are talking about a form of impossibility. This impossibility is not. The hunt is well designed, everything was well seen. The only thing that remains to consider, as I tirelessly repeating to you, is that Max Valentin was not only a peddler, in that respect. Well, this time, we understood it, at least for tonight, but what's more, was he a bit paranoid? And so, he especially didn't want a potential sponsor, don't forget that he presented his project to quite a few people, including me, including my sponsor friend at the time. And so he didn't want us to be able to suddenly, all at once, capture, understand and possibly steal his idea or his, how would I say, or his hunting scenario. So he had kept a secret garden for himself, part of the hunt, the finale obviously, where only he could, when the time came, activate the levers. This is what the golden owl still requires today, but for me it's 2 years of reflection, I've been working for 2 years and exchanging with the owls, with you, with everyone who participates in the game. Well, in any case, who shows up on the Discord. And I was able to understand a lot of things and I realized, I said it some time ago, that indeed, Max Valentin had reserved this capacity to decree well now, I decide that the game will stop so I give the information that is missing or I add a little touch which means that this time the players will find it. I'm looking at my phone, it gives me an alert, I only have 5% left, we might have some problems
(Q - ??: And there you are going to say the trick is… And then your phone will cut off, right?)
MB: That’s exactly it. In reality, the process that Max Valentin had imagined was that the hunt was going to take place, that he was going to find a sponsor but that he kept to himself and him alone the ability to determine when the game would end. , by providing one or more additional indications at the end, which would allow people to find this.
(Q - ??: And this is what you are going to do for the 30th anniversary?)
MB: So that's not what I'm going to do for the 30 years because I have a great concern for honesty, justice and I tell myself there are people who have been looking for 30 years, there are people who have really struggled, there are people who have traveled thousands of kilometers, who have spent hundreds, even thousands of hours on the subject. I absolutely don't want to penalize anyone, so I decided to proceed with appropriate touches. In no case do I want to drop the atomic bomb that makes Boom! Tac! ah well that's it, we all understand, it's a race to the shallot. The first to arrive will find. I won't do that.
(Q - ??: It's to your credit, it would indeed be...)
MB: I don't know if it's to my credit, but for me it's a question of ethics before being a question of honor. It's a question of ethics and it's still a question of consideration for all of you. I have, well even despite the false nicknames, the double nicknames, the triples, the quadruples and what do I know? There are around 4000 of us on the Discord today. I say to myself 4000 people who from time to time come to connect, who listen every day, all express themselves as much as each other, whether on the Discord, whether the people from AOC, whether either the people at A2CO, whether the people at Zarquos or others. All still deserve a minimum of respect from me. I do not allow myself to slash the work and the passion, above all, that people have devoted for years, including those of Yvon Crolet, who devoted an enormous amount of time to all that, whom today I take for someone 'a little bit offbeat, let's say it like that, even in relation to him and in relation in any case, to all the people who have devoted thousands of hours, time, money, passion and many other things about this hunt. I don't allow myself to screw this up.
(Q - ??: That means…)
MB: You will see.
(Q - ??: Also, to let go of little touches because in fact that's the thing, and that's what you did, for example by saying there is an expression which will put you on the path And I had followed the vocals a little at that time, I found that there were a lot of qualities in the reflection in finding expression, it didn't seem at all impossible. But even there I have the impression that there is no epiphany, there was no epiphany in saying but yes in fact that's it.)
MB: The epiphany will come.
(Q - ??: Michel, my cell phone when it runs out of battery, there is a charger.)
MB: Ah yes, damn, it's true, I already forgot, I'm still at 5%, so I should be plugged in somewhere.
(Q - Xavier D’Homan: Don’t you throw away your cell phones? You know in the end when you are..)
MB: No. When they are empty, I throw them away and take a new one, yes because otherwise you have to charge but hey it's true, I'm loaded with money, I'm not going to bother recharging a cell phone, are you kidding or what?
MB: No, but I don't know what they said to each other. I am responding to the fact that you are talking about a form of impossibility. This impossibility is not.
