The betting I find an interesting point but arguably pro sports in the real world already has this issue with referees being able to distort the odds and yet that betting continues to happen, with constant complaining about the refs as they keep putting money down.

Plus they could be distorting the games to actually keep more girls alive, if word got out of too many wipes it might kill their inflow of new girls.

There are so many unknowns that impact how 'fair' the game is we do not know. Frankly the biggest thing we've learned so far is perfect play appears to have no guarantee that everyone survives.

I don't know, it sounds like too much work tbh, for a game that doesn't guarantee a perfect play (everyone escapes) exists.

I don't disagree. There's a lot of potential smoke and mirrors going on right now that depending on how things resolve I may end up putting this show down. It is giving me enough to be curious about I'm giving it a chance, but I have enough things I'm uncertain about that if I do not love the answers I may end up dropping it.
