(Q - Samsam: I didn't know and I thought we should, I sent some, it's the only time I sent a great solution. It was last week,
I sent it to the bailiff, she replied, she forwarded it to you by email, but I didn't know that I shouldn't send it to her.)
MB: In any case, as things currently stand, we must understand that on the one hand, the bailiff is not mandated to do that. The bailiff sells his services like everyone else. I mean, he makes an observation, it costs, it costs so much, he does what service it costs so much. Therefore the bailiff is not mandated to verify the solutions. I can't afford to pay a bailiff all year round, that goes without saying. Then, the rules of the game as they were designed, originally published by Max Valentin, do not provide that the organizer has to respond to all requests for solution verification. This is why today I am in this process which consists of saying we must put something in place in relation to 2 essential criteria which are, on the one hand, the fact that there are so many possibilities, there are so many coincidences, there have been so many things said and today the hunt seems in any case to present so many solutions or so many possibilities to the players that I want to prevent them from making trips in vain, from spend money in vain. Et cetera.
And then, there is a notion that is becoming more and more significant, which is that of preserving sites. And hey, we talked about Dabo, it’s obvious that we can’t ignore him. There have been so many, I have the impression of holes dug, in Dabo, that at some point we have to calm things down. We have to stop, I would say, encouraging people to go and dig a little holes. everywhere, saying to oneself that it is surely there, probably there or certainly there.
(Q - Samsam: But what you don't validate yourself, you are not going to validate the, or invalidate the super solutions. But if an owl sends you his super solution and he found the zone at 50 m², but he didn't find the right one. Did you tell him or not?)
MB: The game is designed for the solution so I'll stop saying the super solution because it's a little bit of a gimmick, the super solution, the mega solution, the hyper solution, the good one, the supra solution, the solution of the game quite simply the solution, the moment when we arrive at the end of the 11th puzzle and where we are supposed to have the countermark in hand, this solution, it is extremely precise, so the verification system is is where we found it is precise to centimeters, millimeters, nanometers, let's use whatever term we want.
In any case, it is a precise point and in which case there is no possible doubt, or else it is not good so if it is not good there is no answer, there is no response that means ultimately there will be a response It's not good but it's not good that doesn't mean it's not 1 meter further, 2 meters further, 10 meters further, 100 meters further away. That means, it's not good, it's not good. Yes, there won't be any comments, there won't be any, you burn, you freeze, there won't be all that.
(Q - ??: But there is no way to ask, to abuse the system, to use brute force as we call it, that is to say propose 250 solutions to the system and finally come across the right one?)
MB: Name, first name, address, everything will be asked. It will be impossible to submit a solution anonymously, but the information will remain completely secure. And only initially, I will be the only one who can access it. The arrangements are made so that if I crash tomorrow someone else can do it for me, but in normal operation, only one person can consult the solutions and they are absolutely not accessible to anyone.
(Q - Xavier D'Homan: And it will be something very precise. Michel, finally precise in the sense that it is difficult to explain, for example, if you dug for example at 3 meters towards the north of something, that is to say that we will have the possibility of, it will be pre-filled, or we will have to explain exactly for example, I dug 3 meters towards the north or because, to explain a That's right, a postal code is easy, a city is easy, but a lot and it would already be necessary to know what it's called, the questionnaire talks about something specific, that means a benchmark, otherwise I don't see how we manage to explain how we dug, for example, so many centimeters from one of a benchmark The great solution we have already talked about, yes but the great solution you explain Michel will obviously understand it, but what I want. say, the questionnaire is not going to be you see, you are going to explain in your words we are not going to have a great solution it is not a ready-made sentence so it was not a solution.
(Q - Gringos: we can put some drawings maybe, a diagram I don't know...)
(Q - Xavier d'Homan: precisely to know in what form it was going to appear if we were asked for a postal code it's easy but if we were asked for example to describe our sentries or tell us what the sentinels are if there is a landmark, what is the landmark at how many meters, how many centimeters It is to know if? this kind of thing that we were going to fill out, or we were going to be able to send a text saying, there you go, I found such and such a place, there it is, there it is, it's simply.)< /u>
MB: A postal code implies a fairly large area, so a postal code will in no case be sufficient. It will probably be requested, but it will not be enough. No. No, you will have the opportunity to communicate your development, et cetera. There is no problem.
(Q - Xavier D'Homan: I thought it was really a ready-made thing where we were going to more or less, fill in boxes with ribs 3 meters away from such and such a thing, all that, it's was just to know what it was going to look like.)
MB: it's not completely done because we are in fact, we are confronted with an experience which is still quite new. I'm telling you about other treasure hunts, I'm telling you about hunts that have been discovered and completed, completed anonymously. We don't know who won, that means that there are still in this, how should I say, in this business, I was going to say treasure hunts which are gradually taking the place of what which was formerly held by Escape Games. For many, it’s becoming more and more like treasure hunts. There is a real need for transparency. For me, this is my big concern today in the golden owl, what motivates me..., I have a need for transparency, I need to tell the story, to say this is what happened.
I need things to be very clear on the side of the owls by saying, “Okay, you are looking for a countermark, it is there, I can assure you that it is in its place”. And the day there is a winner, I can assure you that there will be a winner, a bailiff will be there to say, even if the winner wants to remain anonymous since once again since 1993, the legislation has changed. Today we cannot demand that someone give their name, etc. Well, there are provisions which mean that the right to anonymity must be respected. So, OK no problem! But the fact that the winner wishes to remain anonymous should not prevent a bailiff from being able to certify that there is indeed a winner, that he exists and that the solutions have been found. That's the whole point of my approach today.
