18/04/2023 - Vocal n° 55 - part 2 - 01:48:30: Hunting - Basic but Max is stingy with information on the end of the game

(Q - Apollo: just on the previous question, the simplicity of this technique, reference direction distance, does that seem good to you?)

MB: No, I didn’t talk about the simplicity of it. I was talking in a much more general way about the simplicity of hunting. I said, I wrote, I told, I developed during different vocals the fact that Max Valentin had just organized a few surprise rallies, that he was not at all a specialist in treasure hunts , encryption and whatever else you want, so I invite you to soak this up and say to yourself, golden owl. It's a very basic hunt. I love this silence.

(Q - Apollo: I don't know about the finale, we can't make it more basic, can we?)

MB: No, but in the end, there's no point trying to get the worms out of my nose, first of all I don't have any worms in my nose...

(Q - Apollo: No no I'm trying, I'm not trying, I don't have a final zone for the moment...)

MB: No, but what I mean is not how you should react, you should react by telling you how a Max Valentin marketing consultant, imagining a marketing product for a client who was going to give him a check to say I'm organizing a treasure hunt, how can a guy like that imagine exactly this treasure hunt. His skills, his curriculum and his background include having completed one or 2 or 3 surprise rallies. So he's not a great when it comes to puzzles or anything.
But he's a guy who's on the lookout, he's a communicator, so he picks up a little bit of what's going on. One day he caught Masquerade. And then he says to himself, wow, the guy sold 1,250,000 books, all that, it was a nice publishing coup. I've written books, I'm a partner in a publishing company, that would be good, et cetera. He goes with this idea. He designs a treasure hunt, he designs puzzles, well in line with what he has done so far. So it’s a surprise rally.
Then he said to himself, well, at the end, I wouldn't want anyone to be able to find it, I would still have to keep a little control over the outcome of the game, over the moment when I decide that the game ends, so indeed at the level of the end of the game, of the last solutions which interest us at this level, he remained extremely stingy with elements, he did not communicate many elements, which allows me to tell you today that I am absolutely convinced that in his head the deal was to say to himself it will last, it will last, it will last, then at the moment when I decide that well, it has lasted long enough, I provides information, an additional indication, as he liked to say, and at that moment, I will guide the players and then it will be found.
As he died, as I resume the game, as I know nothing about the game, as I must discover everything, as I discover how you express yourself, what are the concepts on which you rely, that gave rise to our 2 past years of exchanges which have been epic at certain moments and today, it allows me to appreciate with much more precision at what level and to what degree you need, the game itself needs, the players need additional elements, additional elements that will allow them to move forward and this time really move towards the end of the game.
