The True Culprit

The better idea is that the truth of what happened has nothing to do with the mysteries, since they're supposed to be a game between Yasu and Battler. The First Twilight is almost always faked, with the implication that before someone fips out and kills everyone, Yasu is planning a harmless "mystery play" for everyone.

I don't think they are the "key" for the mysteries. They may be the real culprits, but the mysteries seems to be about "who Beatrice is" not about "who the real world culprit is," and thus, the key you ought to be using is a different one.

Hmm... is that so? I mean, 1986, if my interpretation is right, is the year Yasu would decide either living as Shannon or as Kanon - thus the "had Battler returned one year earlier, or one year later, this tragedy wouldn't have taken place". So, if she had decided to live by one of those roles, why would she have left these letters for Battler?

That doesn't really answer much, I think. To begin with, had things gone her way, and Battler solved the "mystery" she had created for him in Rokkenjima, then she'd have got Battler, and she'd have been happy. Had Battler been unable to solve her "mystery" and George or Jessica won the "love duel" then the letters in the bottle wouldn't have served any purpose either because the people on Rokkenjima would have remained alive, and the bottle letters would have, quite likely, received little to no attention. Not to mention that if she was abiding by the rules of her own roulette, why try to have these letters reach Battler? If she wants Battler that much she could as well not have followed this roulette at all and just be direct with him.

You're totally not getting it. The Love Duel only comes up because Battler returns at all, otherwise George's victory is a foregone certainty.
The message was to go out, apparently, to get Battler back. If he doesn't come out, fine. Roulette. If he does, then fuck George. Whether or not the characters involved in the message bottles actually died or not isn't relevant, they're fictional stories anyway. You're right, they wouldn't of gotten much attention otherwise, but Yasu has a habit of betting on miracles that won't be granted save for a probability of a quadrillion to one.

Not only that, but Yasu even said Battler showing up on 1986 was unexpected, and that was what threw her original plan in disarray. So, if she was already ready to move on by 1986, why write these letters? It'd seem she wasn't really willing to follow her roulette. That, or the letters may have had other purpose. Quote:

In addition, if we take into account her plan in Rokkenjima, she did several things to try to achieve her miracle. It wasn't merely just leaving things up to themselves. If theories are correct, she had indeed come up with a full plan. So, even if she bets, she does have a plan. The letters do not seem to follow this way of working, if you ask me.

And of course she wasn't willing to move on. Yasu was "willing to settle" but a part of her always loved Battler more. In an "ideal" scenario where Battler didn't return to the island, she would've settled for pining for Battler secretly forever while living with George. Yasu's kind of emotionally unbalanced and a bit out of her mind, and her fatalist attitude means she just sort of puts up with whatever the dice land on regardless of her personal feelings. Quote:

And for all we know, the message bottles were sent out more than a week before the conference, meaning that the fact that they were found AFTER the incident was a horrible stroke of bad luck. If no accident happened, it's more likely that they'd have been reported to the police. "So um...hey, Police Department? I found these messages about someone writing about the mass murders of that Ushiromiya family...it seems sort of like a warning or a threat..." Quote:
And since she doesn't know his address...well...bottles.
