(Q - ???: You will admit that for quite a few of us, this story is a real headache.)
MB: For me too because I don't know how to do it. What I imagine is that Max Valentin would have worked with larger yarn than me and he would have gone a bit with boots. That is to say that at some point, he would have dropped something and that would have led to the end of the game. I don't want to do that because, precisely, there are new players, he there are elders. And I have no desire, I really have too much empathy for the players and too much respect for the energy they deployed around this game to stack the dice like that at the end. I can not do it. So I don't want to give a decisive element that would suddenly change the game.
I tend to consider, for what I know and what I have read, that this is for example what he did in spite of himself or not in spite of himself, but he still did set foot in the dish in the Trésor d'Orval. He was still there. He still acted to help the winner. We cannot say that he remained neutral and I think that is what he would have done in the hunt at a time that suited him. He would have dropped something and it's likely that those more advanced players at that time would have found it and I think that's what he would have done.
And what I try to do is to bring this in a much more diffuse way to allow everyone to gradually understand it. I don't want to let go of something huge, a huge bomb that's going to... Oh right?? Well OK, we understand and it's going to be a race to the shallot, it's not at all the same anymore.
