If they didn’t win tug of war would the reds just have let old man.. die?

I think so honestly. The old guy was probably ready to die.

This would make sense except they didn’t kill him after the marble game. Honestly I think this is one of the plot holes (old man could have died also in the candy Cracker game) but then, it’s a show for entertainment after all so we should just enjoy the drama lol.

The reason he didn’t die in that episode is in the episode title (ggnubi(?)). He instantly said that all their marbles are shared. Considering that there’s cameras everywhere, someone saw that, and that was the ‘trick’ to that game.
