Eh, I moreso thought EP3 was to provide Meta-Battler the tools to stop being so hopelessly incompetent, while providing a somewhat obvious culprit who wasn't Yasu (even the intro blurb states it's intended to be easier than EP2). And ... I dunno, regardless of who was "really" in control on Ep 3 as a game, Evatrice just didn't seem to share Beato's concern about Battler winning.

A matter of opinion, I guess. She also has the six First Twilight victims, and MAYBE some hand in Kyrolf/Yoshi, too. I only really accuse Eva of killing 4 people in Banquet, which isn't that many. Well, relatively speaking.

Random thought in addition to what I already said about that - the parallel between Eva and Shannon both having their witch side, which is born of their more juvenile dreams, causes unintentional tragedy, could be what you're looking for, and Banquet also presents the largest roles for the extremely telling characters of Virgilia and Ronove.

If not they're mere forgeries.

See, this is interesting for two reasons. Firstly, Tohya's Banquet and EP3 Banquet almost HAVE to be a bit different, because EP3 Banquet blurs the line between the gameboard and the Meta (which I'm like 99.99% certain aren't in the forgeries) fairly often, like Evatrice's assault on Beato's heart only being stopped by Meta-Battler's timely interruption.
Secondly, Tohya's Banquet
IS a mere forgery. It's just a forgery that the readers decided felt really really really similar to the first two, like it had more legitimacy to it, and Hachijou Tohya gained notoriety for seemingly having the same truth at it's core as Yasu's own work.

I dunno what plan you think Eva had, or what Yasu was going to do to stop it ... honestly, though I don't like brushing things off like this ... alot of the 9th Twilight stuff is fairly inexplicable, from a "rational behavior" standpoint. There's no real reason to kill Nanjo in EP3, Natsuhi in EP1, or Maria in EP4, as far as one can tell. The best I can offer is that "Eva is the culprit!" was an idea, but obviously not the ENTIRE thing EP3 was based on.
Also, I don't see a problem in killing Kratsuhi at the same time. Well, I mean, not literally at the same exact moment, but let's not forget that the adults NEVER slept at any point in Banquet, and as far as I can tell, both Krauss and Natsuhi are, like, 50, or just over that age. If Eva wants to kill them, but not alert the kids with a flurry of gunshots, she only needs to catch them dozing off, or invit Krauss (the armed one) to discuss something in the hall, or just outside, and catch him from behind.
