31/10/2023 - Vocal n° 62 (P2) - 27:40 : Terms of the game - Max was not a visual creative - Term "Sentinels"

(Q - Finder: I noticed this Swiss guy earlier who asked you for another name for the sentries…)
(Q - Finder: because in fact that means, if I understand correctly, that with another name, it could give too big a clue?)

MB: So no, on the other hand, it's an interesting question. I'm heckling with Droopy, he knows I'm joking. I like the Swiss, I like them, they're a bit of a pain, but I like them. And so no seriously, this naming thing reminds me of the question that was asked to me regarding the key, etc…. I answered. Someone asked me if I would have done that, if it would have been..., I said, maybe I would have worn a certain sailor's knot. Good. You should know, earlier, Apollo heavily emphasized that Max was not very good at drawing, but really not very good, but really, really not very good, if you know what I mean, I confirm . Which means, clearly, that his imagination in terms of illustration was extremely limited. It was then, we can truly say and, it couldn't be better applied, that he was truly literary, but certainly not creative in terms of the visuals of the hunt. He had no imagination, the specifications prove it. I mean, he didn't at all..., he listed the items he needed. I vaguely remember, I think, he had one of his friends, I don't know who, do a little illustration drawing, which he showed us with the candidate sponsor at the very beginning of the operations. I think it was for the 500, from memory, I think there was a bracket or I don't know what. It was an absolutely uninteresting drawing. Anyway, something archbasic and he had that done and he intended with that to give his clients, when he was trying to sell his hunting, to give them an idea of ??what the illustrations could be. So in fact, he had no creativity in that regard. So when we talk about the designation of sentinel, etc., these are his choices.
He chose words in each of the enigmas, he did this packaging that I mentioned earlier. Personally, I would have worked completely differently. If I had been in the know about these enigmas, I would have illustrated them very differently. That's a certainty. I would have worked completely differently regarding all that. The things he wanted to mention, I see today, since I know behind it, what that corresponds to in terms of solutions, I say to myself, on various occasions, I would not have done that at all. It wasn't the best way for me to illustrate the thing. It's his choice. He was the one who wanted that and that's it. But he wasn't at all... So the sentinels, well yes it's literature. He used those terms and personally, I would certainly have chosen other terms.
But, you understand, we're talking about things that have no correlation, ultimately, with solving the puzzles, it can't bring you anything. I tell you that, you ask me, I answer you. The other day I was asked “What would you have done instead?” “I might have illustrated with a sailor's knot or something like that, I would have done it differently. Well OK there you go.

(Q - ???: I thought it might reveal a clue about the nature of the sentinels, something to understand and that you didn't necessarily want..., but I understand better, thank you. )
