(Q - Winchester: I had a little thought about hunting in general, which I find fascinating from a psychological point of view, since indeed, as you have undoubtedly realized as well as
many players, is that this hunt allows us to dream, to make the imagination work and allows everyone to find anything and everything. The limits of the finds are only the imaginary potential of owls And like you.
you said earlier on the vocal, it's great, it's incredible to see all the answers, the possibilities, the avenues that each and every one finds. But suddenly it's also the biggest problem that we have.
goes in all directions, since we don't have any guidelines, at least as far as the super solution is concerned, we arrive at something and we just know that we have to find a perfect solution.
we don't know by what means, how it happens and so we start to imagine crazy things, we are in a fantastic universe, a treasure hunt.
In fact my question is this, do you think that the owls, once the owl is found and we have access to the solutions, will we not be disappointed precisely with this
great solution, since we imagined things that were probably crazier than each other, and in the end we said to ourselves, well yes it was quite simple, it was before our eyes and suddenly it makes a lot less
dream?)
MB : in any case, what is certain is that the day the owl is found, all those who have not found it will be in exactly the state of mind of someone who has just lost a to be expensive. That's for sure there will be sadness because this story is felt, perceived today by a lot of players as not having to end.
Starting with all those who say but ultimately I don't care about finding, about not finding, what interests me is searching, all of these will be extremely sad the day they can no longer search. the owl and finding one won't be easy.
And besides, I want to make it very, very clear, that at this moment when I am delving deeply into the archives, where I am reconstituting a lot of things, I really think that my co- author, that Régis Hauser was brilliant in what he did. there was a stroke of genius on his part in all of this and I really want to, I recognize it and I am not at all trying to deprive him, to amputate his image of that, but not at all.
The only completely paradoxical thing is that he went completely west with Max Valentin, he completely left the course and that created this character who became, without anyone really expecting it, me I had a bit of a feeling about it since the procedures where the owl was seized anyway. But he became...I don't want to say the bad guy because that's not the right term, but he became the pirate of history, the buccaneer who screwed up the treasure we don't know where, who hid all this, who made it his own thing and who sowed discord everywhere and confused everyone. And this character is totally awesome, he will remain in the history of the golden owl. He's a modern-day pirate, with a completely unique model. and this one is a character from a novel, I assure you, once again I have thought a lot and I continue and I write, I tell, it is a completely exceptional character from a novel Max Valentin.
And I recognize the genius of my co-author, I am not at all in the process of claiming authorship of all this, of the peacock's feathers, no, no. Frankly I think he was great, this great guy but not really clean, but great all the same.
(Q - Winchester: so I wonder, you have much more information than me on the subject indeed, I will never question or doubt your word, but in fact, as as you said, he's a pirate and the golden owl is his treasure and the goal of the pirate is to hide his treasure and for no one to find it [that's what he did]. without however...I think he tried to answer the owls who asked questions, whether with the madits, whether with additional indications, but remaining vague enough and precise enough to answer the question , but without refuting or confirming the hypotheses so that each player can find a part of the answer in relation to their own track, in relation to their own hunt And therefore it confirms the commercial image, in the sense that we do. play on the imagination so that the product we present speaks to the person and that it makes people dream and that inevitably sends them into the wall. But to come back to my question, which was basically more about the beauty of the great solution compared to everything we built around it, and the fact that in the end, if it's not... I thought that in the end we were going to such and such a place, at such and such a time, there is the moon which will cast a certain light on a rock with a reflection, well I'm inventing but you see something fantastic and that at in the end we realize ha well no there was just the first letter of the first riddle to take and the last of the last riddle and poof we find the thing.)
MB : no, no, don't underestimate Max Valentin. He was a very intelligent guy who was capable, when he used a precise word of knowing what impact the word would have on his interlocutor or on the people to whom it was addressed when it was written on Minitel, he knew exactly what he did.
He measured the meaning of the words very well, the only times he could, because I don't know them, far from it obviously all the cursed ones, but the only times I heard that he had said I got stuck and made an erratum...like that could have happened when he was tired, we can also understand it because he still had to spend a lot of hours there. But apart from that when he used a word he knew very well what word he used and why he used it.
