Battler: Die the death.

Easy. That's how I see gold text. It's so Battler doesn't think Beato is lying.
Nah... the gold text doesn't work like that at all. In the case of red text it's there to introduce problems and mysteries. In the case of blue text it's there so the GM has to respond with red at least at the end of the game.

With Gold you don't have to respond with it at all. Your not obligated to use it and in most cases it would be better if you didn't use it. It's only superior to the red sometimes, but that's usually when your trapped in a web of red and blue. It's inferior when it's used too early or there is just red being used against it.

The difference between the red and the golden text is that the red can be advantageous both during a game and at the end of a game, but for different reasons. The Gold text is more like a finishing move in a fighting game and if you want it to be effective it should either be used at the last minute, when no one expects it or not at all. Otherwise it is inferior to the red truth. Golden truth is best when it's sheathed.

You don't have to ask for someone to repeat something in gold, because it's not always 100% true like the red is and it wouldn't be reliable or safe to make someone repeat something in Gold. I mean Dlanor got his butt wooped when Battler used it.

Not to mention that like the blue there is a certain way of phrasing the gold and it's difficult to think of that the minute you use it. In both golds so far the subject of the gold is repeated.

I guarantee that this corpse is Ushiromiya Kinzo's corpse...!!

Using magic, you created a golden rose petal underneath the cup. It was a magnificent display of magic

The Gold text has to be in a format of [subject] predicate [/subject] or it's not going to be said in that color. That's the trick. Just like you have to phrase the Blue as if it's only a possibility otherwise the witch doesn't have to respond.
