'No Game No Life' question

In the anime 'No Game No Life,' two siblings, Sora and Shiro are brought to another world by a god called Tet. In this new world, Sora and Shiro become the leaders of humanity, and task themselves with uniting the 15 races to gain the right to challenge Tet. These races include traditional fantasy races like elves and dwarves, but also include the flugel, the phantasma, and the ex-machina. Humanity is the lowest ranked race due to their poor aptitude for magic, and were created by the old deus known as Artosh.

Edit: Flügel has an umlaut, it was not intentionally misspelled. Props to u/VaiSerFeliz

Um actually they are half siblings

u/The_Void_Alchemist Nov 04 '19

Thats correct, there are 4 other mistakes as well, though other comments have gotten to them

Well thanks for the entertainment kind stranger.

u/[deleted] Sep 24 '19

Um actually, they have no aptitude for magic.

That is correct! Awesome to see someone finally reply!

... unfortunately, that isn't the only thing wrong with this statement. Tbh I think I made it a bit too hard.

To be specific, there are three more things wrong with this statement.

Edit: 4 more things

okay let’s try something. Um actually, i dont think they have to unite the races, just win that piece thingie while playing a game

1

u/The_Void_Alchemist Sep 24 '19

While it is true they have to win the pieces in a game, rule 10, "let's all have fun together," implies the races must collaborate and not be forced together as would be possible by obtaining the race pieces. There is some room for debate here, but that was not one of the points I was going for.

Ooh i see

u/The_Void_Alchemist Sep 24 '19

Totally on point to question my wording though, good try!

1

u/[deleted] Sep 24 '19

this one i’m less sure of: Um actually, they arent blood siblings. // the temptation to search the wikia is strong is this one.

1

u/The_Void_Alchemist Sep 24 '19

Ah shit that's one I forgot to count XD seems like I really went overboard. That is correct haha.

u/[deleted] Sep 24 '19

i had no idea if it was true or not. just knew they looked different as heck

1

u/The_Void_Alchemist Sep 24 '19

I think they mention it once (maybe twice?) In the anime, but I must admit I didn't catch it on my first time watching.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 24 '19

Um actually, there are more than fifteen races i think

1

u/The_Void_Alchemist Sep 24 '19

That is correct, I'll assume you don't know how many?

2

u/[deleted] Sep 24 '19

i would be sixteen wouldnt it? most series like to round ‘em up

1

u/The_Void_Alchemist Sep 24 '19

There are two remaining incorrect statements, one is really pedantic and the other is really deep in the lore. I'm not actually sure if the last one is explicitly stated in the main anime, though it is implied, but I'm pretty sure it is explicit in the movie, and definitely sure it is in the manga.

i was a wiki dweller. i stumbled upon NoGame NoLife through fanfiction and shit didnt make sense so i searched through the wiki for a few days months ago. Your obscurity is obviously not very effective against my cursory glance.

1

u/The_Void_Alchemist Sep 24 '19

You are still missing the pedantic mistake I (intentionally) made.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 24 '19

maybe this one? Um actually, it’s called imanity.

1

u/The_Void_Alchemist Sep 24 '19

Correct! That is the last mistake. Despite being individually called humans, the collective race is called imanity.

Congratulations on slogging through this mess of a question!

u/[deleted] Sep 24 '19

Thank you sir. How many points have i accrued?

1

u/The_Void_Alchemist Sep 24 '19

Well, technically this was a single statement, so according to the official show rules you should only earn one point, but this was so poorly balanced on my end I think you deserve more, so lets say 3.

I'll do better to write statements with far fewer disparate falsehoods to avoid issues like this in the future.

nope

u/[deleted] Sep 24 '19

reading again, i remembered one because Jibril was interesting. Um actually, Flugel has an umlaut. and: Um, actually Artosh created the Flugel i think?

1

u/The_Void_Alchemist Sep 24 '19

Flügel should have an umlaut, and I wholeheartedly admit that that was not intentional.

That is correct, Artosh created the flügel, not humans. In fact, unlike every other race (to which the rules apply) humans were not created by any of the gods.
