I didn't agree with Jinho in the latest episode (season 2 ep 4) because although betrayal is common and a part of the game, specifically wanting another player eliminated as a condition of your betrayal is way too personal and gives the betrayer too much power. You betray to save yourself, not to go on a power trip and demand a specific player get eliminated. I would've gone against him too at the end

doomisland posted:I don't agree at all. If they had some moral objections then they could have refused his help but they didn't. If Eun Kyul wanted to target 3 people because they're all friends which can be become an issue later then he can do that if he wants. Of course he can, but it can also come back to bite him if people don't particularly like him and would rather team with the 3 friends. This season is certainly a lot more cutthroat than the first one so far.

(Do season 1 spoilers still need to be tagged? Inc, in any case) Yeah, I was mainly rooting for Sunggyu because everyone made a big tadah about what a dummy he is in the beginning. Then they said he was improving but surprise surprise, acting like an idiot is just his shtick and was the dark horse of the show. Unfortunately he got a little too cocky

Yeah he's definitely not book smart and one of the slower to understand rules, but when he did understand he usually played like a king. Apparently I have become a Sunggyu fan.

It's OK to hate Sunggyu but that was pretty clearly what he was going for, his brattiness was so exaggerated and played up for the cameras. Same for Sangmin, poo poo was hilarious.

The first season was definitely better so far, season 2 is more cutthroat no holds barred vibe whereas season 1 was more friendly and required more individual thought. Only downside of first season was Kim Gura, guy can go to hell

redreader posted:Yeah, why did he basically volunteer to get kicked off? He just seemed super mad when things didn't go his way but he seemed like a reall strong game player at first. Maybe he was dealing with personal poo poo at the time or something. Honestly I think his only strength was the rest of the cast looked up to him so much as the most famous dude so he could order people around. When people started to see through it and realize he's just a big baby surprise surprise, he started to act like a big sulky baby.

Varam posted:Eunkyul wasn't performing all that well in the matches, but he did a great job of recognizing the power of the broadcaster power bloc so early. Unfortunately, his attempt to derail it was poorly planned and executed. He should have explained his reasoning to the other players and worked to set up a countering faction before things got out of hand. Instead he just got himself martyred and made the balance of power favor the broadcasters even more. Exactly this, I didn't care who got sent home that ep at all but Eunkyul went about it so stupidly that he absolutely deserved to get sent home.

MrLonghair posted:Had this been a real life case, gauze on the victim would have meant it was done by somebody with a personal connection, enough care to send him off not looking like a wreck, so family or partner. My thought too, but that's the problem with these play detective cases. Hard to know what was meant to be a clue and what's just decoration.

I think the key to this game is not putting it into a real world setting at all but working out what producers intended to be evidence, alibis, or red herrings. Sunggyu's alibi was dumb but it was clear they intended the (lol) broken mirror shards in the victim's room to be his alibi

Hat Thoughts posted:Are spoilers really necessary? I feel like anyone reading this page in the thread has already watched the episode, and if they haven't it's entirely pointless because there's just big black boxes. Actually though if somebody hasn't watched it and is reading this reply or something People have flipped over Running Man spoilers before. Running Man! They're just doing funny stuff!

Based on real life doesn't mean anything, especially when there's a red herring character in every case and they are almost always fooled by it.

I actually remembered him being a really bad player the predators shot themselves in the foot by allying together and his only method of winning was being a dick and trying to order the mouse role around, which obviously backfired.

I'm pretty sure the intention with the ID cards was so that you could trade it strategically with other people. Stealing it and entirely blocking him from playing the game, resulting in his loss and betraying him in the death match to top it off? Yeah, a bit of an rear end in a top hat move. Even if they never outright said you can't steal ID cards, blocking someone's chances to even play surely goes against the spirit of the game.

I didn't get that impression, I thought he was just complimenting his cast members. He seemed pretty humble in the cast intro video.

Suspicious Dish posted:Even without simply throwing the game like what happened, the game was still tilted heavily in the citizen team's favor. The citizen team effectively has all the information, and the criminal team doesn't have any. The citizen team also has the upper hand in terms of just numbers. The criminal team would have to pull their cards off right, and also hide the leader. That's going to be near impossible to pull off. Agree that the game seemed really stacked against criminal team. It depended a lot on the citizen leader, who could have played it smart (which happened) or played it really stupidly (which would take a complete imbecile to happen). Since citizen leader played it smart, they didn't even have a chance in the majority vote on jury members.

Symbolic Butt posted:Yeah but I mean, I expected them to create small factions to compete with conflicting plans about who they would push to get first and then immediately follow up to get second place. Why would they put everyone at risk when they could just sink 2 guys guaranteed. This is a case of hate the game not the player.
