NowonSA posted:Oh ho ho, that's pretty interesting. The black garnet's pretty much the opposite of our theory that it can be used for sabotage then. I'm curious what it gives the person holding it, since gaining the garnets of the person you eliminate was already a nice reward for surviving a death match. Honestly, I'm not sure how beneficial garnets are have previously been beyond five or six. Their only real benefit lies in being able to purchase benefits mid-game - as the winner, you'd obviously possess all the garnets in circulation, so it doesn't really matter who has them before then.

I sorta got bored mid-S2, since it seemed like they ran out of Liar Game to copy and had trouble coming up with new games. First ep of S4 was pretty great, though. Anyone willing to give me a 'best of' episode list for S2 and S3?

BBC America does 75 minute timeslots for Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, so there's precedent for weird foreign shows getting weird foreign timeslot lengths. Even if that's just commercial based.

Honestly, though, would have been hilarious if the players had cooperated to arrange a massive tie and inflate the prize to ludicrous levels. Just have everyone team up against the dorks with 1 garnet each.

Suspicious Dish posted:except for the part where they can't, because big alliances are built to fail. it's why hyunmin couldn't steamroll everyone to victory. If they had 10 people in the alliance, and made sure to keep the designated losers from going last, they could force a tie on the 4-square to null out 11 zombies and mummy cards, leaving 1 vampire or whatever to advance. The fact that tied monsters cancel each other lets a huge alliance dominate the game anyway. For extra insurance, have Dongmin go first to grab the rare monster that everyone wants, and put it on the 4.

The main issue I saw was nobody doing a garnet deal with the three suspected rebels at the end. Like 'you can have your garnets back unless you lose the death match or are lying to me'. It's a deal that none of them would be willing to turn down, and gives you a good chance at garnets. Kyungran was so insistent she was telling the truth, there's no way she would be willing to turn down the bargain.

Did they ever explain what would happen if everyone (or everyone except for a single person) tied? It wasn't super likely on this game, but fish market would be easy for that to happen.

Dias posted:I cannot handle this Tittygod anymore, I hope he wins it all and beats Dongmin in the finals, even if Hyunmin's my boi and was clutch as gently caress this episode. He really did eat Sangmin's soul and take his power. I think the guest choices were pretty hilarious though. "Hey Tittygod, my guest is the memorization champion of Korea. Who do you have?" "My college roomie."

Suspicious Dish posted:Huh. Since they were to all-in at the last round anyway, it basically means the entire rest of the game was irrelevant, and Hyunmin was a lock-in win from the start, since of course he'd be the best at scales. Nah, if someone had the majority of the garnets they'd be able to win, regardless

CHiRAL posted:If nothing else, Sangmin vs Dongmin wouldn't have been so one-sided... Or so I'd like to believe, anyway. Sangmin probably would have tried to knock Dongmin to the deathmatch, while getting immunity for himself. Multiple times, if needed. The best way to fight Dongmin is not to fight him.

Tonfa posted:The stalling is the shittiest move of all. You're betting your opponent is so bad at the game they will actively harm themselves. Against JANG DONGMIN. Well, I can see the argument as 'given that we were able to place these pieces at any point on the board we wanted, any movement that isn't forward is going to result in a position that's off the cuff, and incidentally give me more intel on which pieces aren't bombs.' It's not a great argument but it's not thoroughly awful.

The cards have slightly different weights, and you put them on a scale. That way the heavier card is worth more, and neither player sees the bottom of either card. Naturally this is a loophole that strongly favors dongmin.

His selfishness (not in a bad way) is what made him such an awesome player. He showed he was willing to do anything to win and he had the skill and smarts to back it up. Third episode. After coming in first in episodes 1 and 2.

Manic X posted:Stephen Fry, maybe, but I wouldn't cast in more than one or two comedians since our sense of humour is dry and sarcastic, and can come across as just being an rear end in a top hat. The S-Korean version works so well because very few people act like assholes. Even after betrayals, they still behave calmly. Or go a little international. Would be interesting to see how Weird Al played, for instance.
