Impressive. Pretty sure once you figured out the answer, it just seemed obvious from then on.
The Hall of the Second Twilight looks identical to the first one. It is possible that one could discover the clues to the next halls by investigating the rooms, but there is one little detail that seems impossible to ignore.
There were 12 pumpkin monsters crowded up among each other in a room, looking at a plaque on the wall. They will neither attack you nor take damage from attacks, but they will only repeat the same things over and over.
Over in the back corner of the room stands a Ripper Jack. It eyes you with a sharp gaze.

Plaque:
Do you know about the Founding Fathers of Japan? Of course not! You're on the British server!
Solve this puzzle and you'll get the answer to the next room. But remember, my pumpkin friends are great liars! In fact, half of them will straight-up lie right to your face! The other half will tell a 'half-truth', that is, they'll lie about one part of the answer (either the winner's identity or the winner's class) but tell the truth for the other half! Good luck, ahaha!

Mini-Jack 3: "Nobunaga beat the enemy with Brilliant Prism! It was amazing!"
Helio Jack 1: "It's all about Mitsuhide. That Assassinate finish."
Helio Jack 2: "Assassin Mitsuhide number one, all the way!"

Frost Jack 1: "Of course Nobunaga won. He was the ultimate Druid."
Frost Jack 2: "After Ieyasu won, he revived all three of his rivals with Gaean Rebirth! So kind!"
Frost Jack 3: "I saw Mitsuhide kill the last enemy with Congregating Arc... was it really Assassinate?"
Ripper Jack: "Before you start spamming answers, listen up. I ain't listening to multiple answers. You may only answer once every 2 posts. PM a mod when you think you have the answer. If you're wrong, you have to make 2 more posts and guess again! If you're right, the mod will give you the password. You just need to make one more post, and then you're free to move to the next hall. Got it? Talk to the pumpkins if you want to hear them talk again. I sure don't."
