Don't most sadistic games like this have potential ways to come out ahead (as opposed to simply reducing your debt and going home with a net zero)? YoukaiSlayer posted... It doesn't require solidarity. People frequently want to pin everything on one person or join in the hate mob. It would work even with strangers. Yes, but that doesn't mean they'd all get along without turning on one another after that person is dealt with, or even before. That malice and selfishness would not end with just one person. Heck, that's another staple of the genre; everyone starts a game with one clear enemy, but just one or two betrayals is enough to destroy their temporary truce. Also I again think you're overestimating Shibe's financial state. They're not that obscenely wealthy, that they can throw those large amounts of money around on a whim. YoukaiSlayer posted... He doesn't explicitly state it but he lied earlier on purpose for this very play. He says it's the best method. Yeah.. like halfway through the game. We apparently have different definitions of "always." YoukaiSlayer posted... It irritates me greatly when a show presents a character as a genius Nobody has done that. Neither Yuichi nor anyone else has made claims of him being a genius. Actually later on they make a point of saying that he's not a perfect tactician. If you keep expecting this perfect standard out of works of fiction then you're gonna keep being disappointed, and should probably just move on. I wanted to discuss the series with someone, but.. not like this. I don't think you've said one thing about it that wasn't a complaint. Seeing people whining nonstop about shows they keep watching is why I left the Arrowverse discussion boards. --- Official King of PotD You only need one T-Rex to make the point, though. ~ Samus Sedai <cite>keyblader1985 posted [p:964807584] in Anime, Man...
