Aa, my roommate was commenting about that. I supposed you need to get a
10/10 which I didn't. I got a 7/10. It's the same applause meter used
in some of the minigames in ST2/Steam Radio Show I believe. Forgot which
one.

You're right. I only briefly glanced at it, but upon playing, it's
Stratego esp. when I read the rules and saw that "spy" beats etc., etc.

Oh yes, there's fortunately 9 of them too. I used my last 5-6 on Yoneda
alone but I didn't get any omake pics ... yet. argh. :>

Ah. I guess I'm used to it. Tatagaki, that is. ^^;;
Oh, BTW, I found out why I couldn't find Yuri after finishing Tsubaki's
timed trivia game. I got my counters wrong. It wasn't that I finished in
20 secs, but that there were 20 questions left. To finish Tsubaki's
game, you must answer a total of 40 questions. If you think Tsubaki's
questions were hard ... dang, Yuri's was tough. She asked about scenes
in ST1, ST2, etc. that I've entirely forgotten of. There are questions
about Kurono Sukai and Nidou Niken, the four swords, etc. Much more
difficult. I haven't even finished one round yet, but then again, I fell
asleep after 10 mins last night. Just too tired from work. ^^;; I
guess I'll try to compile a list of all the answers sometimes and post
them up somewhere since you must have knowledge of all the other ST games
it seems.
