[Spoilers] Alice_Rabbit's real identity

[dziki]

***SPOILERS*** So is Alma the notorious Alice_Rabbit? They hinted at it when she hacks your bartending station, but it wasn't mentioned after that - even when I got her ending.

[olaf]

Does it really matter? Its good the way it is and everyone can make their own story around it

[dziki]

Nah, it doesn't really matter. I'm just curious whether I missed some explicit confirmation or if it stays vague regardless of your choices.

[Q]

It should largely hint that Alma is in fact, Alice_Rabbit.
The white rabbit that shows up had Japanese text underneath it that says アリス, read as "Arisu" which is "Alice".

I got the impression that Alice_Rabbit was a continuation of the current Anonymous situation- Alma mentioned there "used to be some group" that anybody could hack stuff and claim to be a part of it, and that A_R was probably the same thing. Of course, that could've been a deflection on her part.

Though if you can find a certain secret, another hacker comes to the bar, claiming they're looking for A_R in Glitch City and that everything about A_R's attacks is too consistent to be a group. Relevant quote: "It can't be a group. And if it's a group, it's most likely coordinated by just one person."

That's a cool twist. I saw the rabbit but just shrugged it off. Alma doesn't seem like the type who would do this so it certainly adds a new layer to her character.

Actually it makes a lot of sense when you consider her opinion on the Wonderland copycat hackers. Plus the Alice logo when she hacks your bar is pretty damning, and Jill's phone gets hacked by Alice, which is kind of strange if it was some other hacker who didn't know who Jill was.

[Ellixer]

Yeah I always thought Alice_Rabbit should be someone we've seen in the game and for Alma I suppose it makes the most sense (she seems almost indignant talking about it as a "trend"). It also seems like she was deflecting questions by saying she doesn't care about this Alice_Rabbit thing (even though she probably should considering that's her career) thinking about it.

What I meant was that she didn't seem like the type who would pull ideological stunts like that but perhaps that's a side Jill isn't aware of.

[Archangel]

Maybe the ideological aspect isn't her primary focus. Maybe that was invented by idiots at AE & elsewhere, she responded in annoyance, then they fed on that, and it became this big... thing.

Also, perhaps she doesn't talk about ideology and stuff with Jill because Jill is her 'refuge of normality.' She's certainly well-suited for the role.

I'd always thought that Alma did that as a joke and wasn't, in fact, Alice_Rabbit. I don't think there's confirmation either way but there's certainly evidence for and against.

[DOT107]

Mind you, that Alma is not the only one who was hinted as Alice, we also got Rad Shiba( i call him Kazuhira Shiba Miller) and Gil.

[Archangel]

Gil's definitely some sort of something (I am a freedom fighter, you're a partisan, he's a terrorist), but I don't think he's Alice_Rabbit. For one thing, there's no evidence he has any computer expertise. And while that AE article with Rad Shiba's picture is interesting, he too is never implied to have any computer interest whatsoever--or fingers to type with, for that matter. *shrug*

This doesn't prove that Alma is A_R, of course. I just think she's the only plausible candidate out of the cast.
