Act I with random choices - Probabilities

[Atario]

In fact, let's go one step further and multiply my results by Notguest's and see what we get.

Code: Select all

Fractions on the left, rounded percentages on the right. As you can see, your assessment is correct! Also, congratulations to the Lilly-good-enders for using reason to thread a needle random chance would have a hell of a time with.

So Kenji's picnic is the easiest thing to get? This thread does make me feel less lousy for having gotten mostly bad ends first...

[Mirage_GSM]

Emi:

37.5% (3/8) bad
62.5% (5/8) good

…based on listening to advice or not, two or three times between three possible choice points.

I'm not sure if the way you arrived at these numbers is correct, but the numbers themselves seem to be - if the flowchart of Geekahedron is correct. I'm not quite sure if the choice with nurse really has no effect...
If not you have a 25% chance to get the Good End by answering correctly to Mutou and Meiko and another 37,5% (75%/2) chance to get there by answering correctly to Misha after you failed either of the previous choices.

Sure reads like it should, doesn't it? But the seekrit runes seem to say no…

The one choice is whether you're going to look after your own health or not, at 'Waylay'. If you do, you allow yourself the Emi option, if you reply 'Maybe', you don't. I think.

No, I think he meant the one in "Debate Expresses Doubt". "Waylay" is back in Act 1.

I had to double check those Emi numbers since it sounded wrong. It turns out that your numbers are right, but I think your description of the choices is inaccurate.

The 1st, 2nd, and 4th choices don't matter at all. In particular, getting advice from the Nurse doesn't matter. In the only choices that matter are getting advice from Mutou, pursuing Emi in the house, and letting Misha know.

Talk to Mutuo ->
choice in Emi's house
pursue Emi -> scene with Misha -> 50% good, 50% bad
stay with Mother -> 100% good

Don't talk to Mutuo -> scene with Misha -> 50% good, 50% bad

So overall, it is 5/8 good, 3/8 bad.


Edit: And of course someone already said all this and I didn't notice before going off and checking myself.

[Atario]

I think your description of the choices is inaccurate.

How so?

[SpunkySix]

Then again, once you factor in that some players have good taste, the chances of ending up with Emi are basically 100%.

[Notguest]

I already explained it in the post you quoted. But specifically, whether you get advice from the Nurse doesn't matter at all, and the decision to stay with Emi's Mom could only loosely be considered getting advice.

Numerically maybe not, but their words certainly helped give me an idea of how I would respond to Emi's behavior. Nurse especially helps, since his talk comes before the big choice.

I'd rather say because not all three choices (Mutou, Meiko and Misha) are equal, i.e if you answer Misha correctly you'll get the good end regardless of what you did before and if you answer Mutou incorrectly, you won't even get to choose with Meiko.

[Notguest]

There's also that.

[Atario]

the decision to stay with Emi's Mom could only loosely be considered getting advice.

I would definitely consider it that way. Between running after Emi and staying to talk to Meiko, who just saw everything happen, that's pretty much what's going down.
