User blog:GoDai/GoDai: Trustworthy Room Test INDEPTH

I think everyone agrees that this test is the most complex test in Tower of God so far, especially due to all the confusion that occurred in the latest running of the test.

So here is a summary of rules of the test, as well as the events of the one running of the test that occurred in the series.

-This is a game in which each protects their own room while gaining 7 allies and 6 rooms. The most important thing in this game is trust.-

 * From now on, in groups of 2, everyone protects their own room and are also able to steal other rooms.


 * The remote inside the room can open and close the door of the room, and can also decide the ownership of the room.


 * Personal connectors can plug in to the remotes. After connecting your connector to another's remote, you can decide whether you will become allies with that person or if you will steal the room. (Press the blue button to become allies with the person's group, and the red button to steal the room) (If you become allies you share the room, and are able to protect the room and steal other rooms together.)


 * If no one remains in your room, you are disqualified.


 * Taking your remote outside of the room leads to disqualification. (Therefore, in any case, one person must remain in the room with their connector attached to the remote.)


 * If the number of selected members (regulars) in the lodging becomes less than 7, the game ends in Viole's victory.


 * If Viole steals Yeon's room after stealing the connector from the Ranker, the game ends in Viole's victory.

-Attention-

 * Among the 6 rooms required for victory, the last one must be Yeon's room, which is on the top floor. (GoDai: Note this may be saying that on the list of rooms taken, the last one must be Yeon's room... which in a very strange context, may mean that her room needs to be one of them, but not necessarily the last... yeah the wording is confusing to me - I think it depends a lot on context...)


 * You must only use your own connector. (If you touch a connector, your name is recorded.) (GoDai: You might as well ignore this rule, as it is confusing. It was meant to say that you can't use any connector to make allies or steal rooms, and instead there is only one connector that is yours. Also note that it might actually be saying that the owner's name shows when you touch it. The wording is vague to me...)


 * If your connector is destroyed, you are disqualified.


 * If you press the blue and red buttons at the same time, you become allies with the person and betray your original teammates.


 * Viole's connector, which the Ranker has, can open Yeon's room automatically.

Shortened
Use the remotes to find 7 team members and obtain 6 rooms, before Viole steals his connector from the Ranker and steals Yeon's room.

Love's Game

 * Viole must catch the connector, fired from a shooting machine, in three tries.


 * Love can interfere with Viole's attempts.


 * If he fails to catch it at least once, he fails the test.


 * If he gives up during, he is given a chance, but must accept his teammates. He can then continue the test with them.


 * Love can "accidentally" kill Viole.

Before the Reveal
''"About the person who killed Rapdevil... Actually, the answer has already been provided. If you read carefully you'll be able to figure it out ^^; It's not that difficult." - ''SIU

(GoDai: In my opinion, SIU confused us further ><)

After the Reveal
''"Rapdevil resurrection!!! is not what it is.. he was playing dead. It doesn't suit his large build... + If you were someone who understood the rules exactly, you would've noticed it. "One or more teammates must remain in the room." This part." - ''SIU

(GoDai: My friends noticed, but thought a dead body could count as a person... seems not... they would've been teleported out using shinsoo as they cannot continue the test, I guess... )

About this Test - SIU
(GoDai: Korean readers sent hundreds of messages to SIU about Viole using Wangnan's connector to win... because one of the rules were "You can only use your own connector.")

1. The rule that says that you can only use your own connector was meant to say "Each person has a designated connector," and not that you cannot use other people's at all. There's also a part when Gosaeng hands her connector over to Wangnan ^^

Even to me, I feel like I explained this rule with a lot of room for misunderstanding. ㅠㅠ &&nbsp If I have the time later, I will change it into a better sentence.

(GoDai: Of course, we have the "they only had 5 rooms" issue.)

2. The issue about the 6th room is in next chapter. Actually, I've prepared an alibi, and it's going to come out like a simple gag cut so I wasn't paying too much attention to it, but many people sent me messages and mail about this so I can't rest ㅜㅜ It's not a major spoiler so I'll leave it down there. If you want it, drag to highlight...

(In invisible text) Tin, who was the last to escape from the room, meets Yeon, who chases and destroys him to avenge her throat.

(GoDai: SIU was already planning to reveal this but people kept "accusing" him of making a mistake so he revealed it in invisible text hahaha)

(About This Test - SIU's blog)

How did Yeon join the final team?
The reason Yeon could join Wangnan's team is because Prince and Yeon were originally one team. They formed a team after Viole left, and if you pay close attention, Prince says that they are "on the same team" when he hands over the soft drink to her. That is also the reason why Yeon could leave her room ^^ In shorter words, in a situation where Yeon-Prince-Rapdevil formed one team, after Horyang eliminated Rapdevil and got Yeon-Prince to join his side, Tins's room (GoDai: He means Yeon's room, which Yeon was no longer in) was stolen using Wangnan's connector, so they won in the test. In this chapter's case, I reduced the explanation of the game to the absolute minimum, and put all my focus into emphasizing the feelings of the characters, so you have to read into the details to discover what is being foreshadowed by the game. ^^ (Part II Chapter 22 Review - SIU's blog)

Summary by GoDai
(GoDai: Yeah this is in my own words)

Intro
This was a rather interesting test, but even I didn't get it very at first...

I would also like to say that it was pretty biased and unfair in general, as some rooms were closer to Yeon's room and in Yeon's case, she couldn't leave the room until she got allies. However as Lero- Ro would say, luck is the most important factor in climbing the Tower so... hahaha. Besides, Viole is given a completely different side of the test.

Original Rooms
I made up some initials to make things easy to explain. D is Lurker's roommate, probably a Da-an tribe guy. C is the parasite-controlling guy that stays in the room the whole time. E and F are the remaining two Da-an guys. These are not their actual names.

I also make a few assumptions that certain people are in the same room. Considering how very little information was given on Lurker's side, I make the assumption that he, three Da-an guys, Tin, and C are in a total of 3 rooms. It is possible that they were in more rooms and some stuff went down and reduced them to 6... but I'll stick to my original idea. It's simpler that way.
 * (101, WN) Wangnan and Nia


 * (201, MG) Misaeng and Gosaeng


 * (501, PR) Prince and Rapdevil


 * (Y) Yeon (Viole begins in this room, although he is not a team with her)


 * YeongSook and Bruce


 * Two unknowns


 * Two other Da-an guys, E and F


 * (301, HA) Horyang and Akraptor


 * (LD) Lurker and D


 * (TC) Tin and C

Events (Part II Ch 11~ )

 * 1) Gosaeng leaves the room to go to the WN room to become allies. Misaeng stays.


 * 1) Prince opes the door, makes Rapdevil close his eyes, and hides the remote. (This means the door cannot be locked by Rapdevil, and can be opened from the outside by anyone, without Rapdevil's permission.) Prince leaves the room to go to Yeon's room to defeat Viole.


 * 1) Prince arrives at Yeon's room. Viole successfully leaves. Prince becomes allies with Yeon (PRY, 2).


 * 1) YeongSook leaves the room to go to the MG room. Bruce stays. She is denied access by Misaeng. She stays around the area. (GoDai: This actually happened much earlier, seeing how YeongSook seems to see Gosaeng leaving the room.)


 * 1) Akraptor leaves the room to go to the MG room. He is denied access by Misaeng. He stays around in the area.


 * 1) Akraptor fights YeongSook, and defeats her. He ties her up.


 * 1) (GoDai: assumed, At some point, Lurker forms a team with two other Da-an servants LDEF, 2)


 * 1) (GoDai: assumed, At some point, Lurker forms a team with Tin and C. LDEFTC, 3)


 * 1) Lurker goes to PR room. Lurker tells Rapdevil to play dead, and leaves the room to find Prince. (Note: Lurker cannot form a team with Rapdevil, since the PR room remote is hidden)


 * 1) Gosaeng arives at the WN room. She become allies with him. (MGWN, 2) Wangnan and Gosaeng leave the room to go to the MG room. Nia stays.


 * 1) Prince leaves Yeon's room in search of Viole, and runs into Lurker, who informs him that Rapdevil has been killed. Prince and Lurker go back to the PR room.


 * 1) Wangnan and Gosaeng arrive at the MG room and meet Akraptor. Once noticing Viole (not clearly shown, actually) far away in the hallway, Wangnan, Gosaeng, and Akraptor enter the MG room. Akraptor becomes part of their team. (HAMGWN, 3)


 * 1) Viole arrives at the male bathhouse to meet Love. Viole challenges Love's game.


 * 1) Lurker and Prince are at the PR room. Rapdevil is playing dead. Tin and the parasite enter the room (It's not locked.). Tin, the parasite, and Prince leave the room. Lurker and Rapdevil stay.


 * 1) Outside, Tin hands over a Boong Boong drink to Prince. Prince heads toward Yeon's room.


 * 1) Prince arrives at Yeon's room. Yeon drinks the drink. Tin enters the room with the parasite. She becomes infected with the parasite. (Tin is assumed to steal the room. LDEFTC, 4; PRY, 1) Parasite-infected Yeon and Prince leave the room. Tin stays. (Note: Yeon can leave her room because Rapdevil is still in his room.)


 * 1) Prince runs back to the PR room and takes out the remote to lock the door. Rapdevil reveals that he is alive and reveals that he and Lurker plan to betray Prince.


 * 1) Wangnan and Akraptor force YeongSook to get Bruce to open the door, and then tie them up. Wangnan steals the room, and YeongSook and Bruce fail. (HAMGWN, 4)


 * 1) (GoDai: assumed, It is assumed that Gosaeng moved to the HA room, allowing Horyang to leave. Evidence: Later Gosaeng and Misaeng are in separate rooms, as when Nia is being killed as Wangnan curses at Lurker while everyone can hear what is happening through their pockets, Gosaeng is not there for Misaeng and covering her ears; instead, Misaeng is covering them herself. They probably would not get Misaeng to go outside, so it was probably Gosaeng who moved to the HA room.)


 * 1) Horyang takes another room and fails the two people there. (HAMGWN, 5)


 * 1) Lurker steals the WN room (LDEFTC, 5; HAMGWN, 4) and kills Nia (HAMGW, 4). (Note: Here, Lurker claims he has a team of 7 and 5 rooms, and only needs 1 more room to win. It seems that he is referring to himself, 3 Da-an guys, Tin, C, and Rapdevil... I could be wrong. Rapdevil is actually not in his team yet, but Rapdevil is on Lurker's side, and only needs the remote to cut himself off from his current team, PRY, and join with Lurker's. He would be planning to press both the red and blue buttons at once to join Lurker's team while betraying his current team at the same time. The moment Rapdevil defeats Prince, steals the remote, and opens the door, he can then move to a room allied with Lurker and ally himself with that room and betray Prince and Yeon. It seems Lurker does not want Yeon in his team? I mean, I could be wrong; What if one of the Da-an guys are stupid enough to sacrifice themselves for Lurker's cause and allow Yeon to replace himself... yeah it's possible.)


 * 1) Wangnan leaves the room to go to the male bathhouse to get Viole. Akraptor stays.


 * 1) Rapdevil fights Prince to take the remote.


 * 1) Horyang leaves his room (HAMGW, 3) to go and save Prince in order to prevent Lurker's victory.


 * 1) Viole fails the test, but Love wishes to give Viole another chance.


 * 1) Wangnan arrives at the male bathhouse, and steals Viole's connector. He throws his own connector (pretending it's Viole's) at Viole, and convinces him to help him defeat Lurker. Viole looks at the connector. (Note: Viole never obtained his connector. It is actually Wangnan's. Wangnan actually still has Viole's connector, which he stole from Love using a Reel Inventory. Viole walked out of the bathhouse, never having touched his connector. The moment Viole walks out of the bathhouse, it could count as giving up, and therefore allows Viole to continue the test as long as he accepts his teammates. Even Viole wasn't aware of this, it seems. Another note: If the rules meant to state that the owner's name shows when you touch a connector, Viole may have seen Wangnan's name when he looked at the connector, but just went along with Wangnan's plan because he was curious about what Wangnan will do, as he later questions him on the balcony.)


 * 1) Lurker, Yeon, and D leave the WN room and goes to Prince's room, which is still locked, with Prince and Rapdevil fighting inside.


 * 1) Horyang arrives and defeats D.


 * 1) Viole arrives and freezes everything. He removes the parasite from Yeon and destroys it.


 * 1) Prince blinds Rapdevil, and uses the remote to open the door, allowing Horyang to enter.


 * 1) Lurker runs away, back to Yeon's room (Note: Yeon no longer owns this room, so SIU refers to it as "Tin's room".). Viole is told to chase after Lurker. Horyang stays at the PR room.


 * 1) Lurker enters Yeon's room, which has Tin inside. He locks the door.


 * 1) Viole opens the door to Yeon's room using his connector. (Actually, Wangnan has it, but Yeon's room's door detects the connector and opens automatically.) Wangnan and Viole enter. Tin runs out of the room.


 * 1) (SIU reveal: Yeon meets Tin and beats the sh*t out of him. She steals his room afterwards; PRY, 2. Some amazing readers assumed this right away... :O)


 * 1) Horyang defeats Rapdevil, who fails (SIU says so) (PY, 2).


 * 1) Horyang allies himself with Prince, who is also already in a team with Yeon (HAMGWPY, 5).


 * 1) Wangnan defeats Lurker. Viole steals Yeon's room using Wangnan's connector. This results in the victory of team HAMGWPY (6), along with Viole.

Hmm
I received a lot of help from here, a post by an extremely logical genius from the cafe... His assumptions turned out to be the same as SIU's thoughts... I envy this person. I plan to make a translation of that post. ^^

And yeah there still could be mistakes. Feel free to ask.
