if doc gives to alice and alice gives to nurse
I don't see a problem

 

[scylant]

The nurse already gave one to the other guy.

Thanks for translation as always!

Is there gonna be a twist to this game? Most of the hearts games had a twist. Is this one gonna be "Oh whoopsie, everyone could have survived!"

 

[Soundwave14]

Please let them survive some how. I do wonder what is going to happen for this series I feel like it would be better for Arisu to explain about the Borderlands to these people because if done then they will understand better how to survive. I bet we will meet some old characters who survived the original series and moved on to become residents of this world because I remember two people who stayed in the Borderland

 

[savetheprince]

whoa I just found out borderlands got a sequel, poor arisu

 

[ripplegrin]

Oh wait i think i figured out the twist for this one.

Spoiler

Rules state that if you don't get a life and enter a shelter, its game over. So if arisu gets a life but doesn't enter a shelter, he'll probably be fine? That's assuming that the rules are written that way for the purpose of the twist

 

[nathan170604]

Honestly a concept I'm rather interested in is this:
Everyone dies, but

Spoiler

The Joker (Who is, (c'mon the symbolism is clear as day) the grim reaper/charon/whatever ferryman of death you like) gives Arisu a second chance. However, while playing more and more of these difficult games, he also must play a game of chess to the death, with some sort of strange twist in it to tip the odds against Arisu

Also I thought "if you don't get a life and enter a shelter" means that you must enter the shelter or you die. But I think theres unanimous agreement that the game is cheesable somehow, though how exactly is up for debate
And otru, did the doc give his decision yet? And yeh, I hope some old characters reappear. I do believe the

murderer and ruthless stock broker who survived the Jack of Hearts arc

will make some sort of impact as a king/knave. But personally I wouldn't mind seeing how some of the survivors are holding up after Event Horizon and I honestly think something can be made involving

I think UFO will laser you anyway, it doesn't matter if you have life or not. But I'm not 100 % sure, there's absolutely some sort of twist...I'm just too dumb to see what is that.

Also 7 of Hearts had no twist whatsoever. His friends just died, wolf won, sheep losed. I was arguing with some dude who kept insisting that ''they all could have survived'', like... how? Explain it buddy.
I've thought about that game A LOT, but there was no winning strategy. Even if you kill wolf, he stays that way. He will become a dead winner and sheep heads will explode anyway. Plus... If there WAS one, I'm pretty sure Mira would have mentioned it just to torture him.

It's always entertaining to read people' theories, I just glad some of them are easily debatable (like ''let two people enter one capsule'').

 

[nathan170604]

@KyoHisagi yeah 7 of hearts is kinda unique in that aspect huh. I do believe practically every single other game can theoretically be completed with no bloodshed or the only blood being spilled being the blood of the enemy. 7 of hearts is just "You're fucked, now decide which one of you lot is gonna live in anguish"

@kyohisagi

For the "2 ppl can enter one capsule" is still kinda ambiguous at this point.
The 'killer' guy that get cheated by using card can't enter the capsule bcs he doesn't get a life card. Also we never see any of the capsule have a 'capacity limit' after round 1(and it made the Player assume only 1 ppl can fit inside a capsule).

So IDK prob at the last hall it might not be 1 capsule but perhaps a 'big ufo' since this is an alien invasion. There is so much theories can be discussed abt this game.

But to me the most plausible atm is the number of ppl that can fit inside one capsule

 

[KyoHisagi]

@Syauqi095
You're kinda right about deliquent trying to enter the capsule without having a life, but I still think this is not a loophole we're looking for.
Even MC stated there is not enough space for two people in one capsule in ch.1. Let's say, they all would have somehow survived until round 4 or 5, good luck them all fitting in 3 or 2 capsules lmao.
One guy said ''what if you enter the capsule from THE PREVIOUS hall'', but I'm not sure if they're still working or even if you can enter previous room again? There's too much uncertainty in this game. Someone even suggested smashing UFO's with something or climbing higher than them lmao

 

[redbeanbunny]

There has always been tall buildings in each room, I wonder if it is possible to avoid the alien attack, and/or having a lifecard? Perhaps they can climb above the UFO.
Or perhaps they didn't bother exploring the room for more pods?
Either one seems kind of simple but I mean... that's how it be on some of these games...

I also think that it's possible the first body was a plant. He didn't die by the invasion(it was the laser) and they could all use the death card on the first body.

 

[KyoHisagi]

@redbeanbunny
They already stated that you can't send a ''death'' card to a dead player. I am pretty sure it doesn't matter why exactly he died.

 

[Toti5292]

@KyoHisagi they stated that "you can't send a death card to a player that died from an alien invasion". 🧐

 

[KyoHisagi]

@Toti5292 oh really? Hahaha my bad then

 

[googoober]

pulling the "I have a family" card now

@KyoHisagi @nathan170604
So I was reading the tvtropes for alice in borderland and supposedly you can win the seven of hearts by

In retrospect, the Seven of Hearts tag game where Arisu lost his friends to Saw-themed exploding collars, of which only the one with the 'wolf' tag would be spared, never said anything about surgically removing the collars themselves...

Though I don't recall anyone in the story mentioning this so it might just someone's guess.
I'm going to need to reread the chapter to see if it's even plausible to break the collars.

 

[KyoHisagi]

@heroeric organisators are not that dumb. If you try to forcefully remove it, I am 99,99 % sure your head will explode / laser will kill you.
It was one of the few games that couldn't be cleared with every player surviving.
If there WAS a winning strategy, Mira would have mentioned it in Q of Hearts just to torture Arisu. Which she never did.
