(Q - ??: for the traps he was strongly inspired by Masquerade?)
MB : so, Masquerade is the same, I admit I never tried to lie about that, I didn't study Masquerade, I have a copy of Masquerade.
(Q - ??: there are really decryptions that are obvious, that everyone will inevitably decipher but that lead to nothing)
MB : so if you want, there are things that are obvious too, if in the story of the owl we cannot deny it, I think that one of the big differences is that the load in the visuals of Masquerade, I'm talking about the principle of the hunt eh, there was a lot more in the visuals of Masquerade than what Max expected, visuals that he wanted to put with his puzzles. He never expected as much from his visuals as what was in the visuals of Masquerade, that is to say he reversed the proportion a little, he put more in the writings and a a little less in the visuals, but he still put some in the visuals.
(Q - ??: in Masquerade for example, there were letters which were around the visuals, the images, there were letters in red which had to be deciphered and which could read "" this is a false lead.").
(Q - ??: this and the problem of the Golden Owl, it leads to nothing, we are never sure that these are false leads...)
(Q - ?? ; as much in Masquerade it was written "this is a false lead", but let's imagine that the black ship perched, it's a decryption, it's a trap, we haven't deciphered it whereas in Masquerade it was written.)
MB : Masquerade lasted much shorter than the Golden Owl, it ended with an unfortunate confidence on the pillow, but what we need to understand in the story of the owl, we can make a comparison between Masquerade and the Golden Owl, in terms of the development of the game but not in terms of its progress. The story of the Golden Owl is completely unique so far.
It is completely unique, even if in the United States we have "The Secret" which has lasted longer than the Golden Owl, a hunt more or less doomed to never end, since the places will have changed, it is probable that all the little treasures, the little buried countermarks will never all be found, there is not at all the same madness around this hunt.
Around the Golden Owl, it's real madness, and there wasn't that for "The Secret", for the Owl there was the Minitel, the great novelty, the unique part of the cool thing is the Minitel, that's what we do today but at a time when it wasn't done at all. Today there are millions of discords, forums, everywhere but at the time of Minitel there weren't that many.
it was something unique and at the same time, the minds who looked at the owl at the time did not have the knowledge that we have today of the sometimes perverse effect of networks social. And so this minitel at the time had a colossal impact on researchers and they worked enormously and it created a whole atmosphere, a climate, a body of elements, theories, hypotheses and today it is very difficult to break away from it because ultimately, as soon as you type golden owl on the Internet, everything arrives in bulk and you no longer know where to turn.
So the comparison with Masquerade, yes initially but today it no longer has anything to do with Masquerade. Today you are all confronted with colossal masses of data and you have to sort it, you quickly lose your objectivity.
