Thus you get a lawsuit out of the matter and the city's tax dollars are gonna pay for it.
And dumb cops who don't know the law make the mistakes of arresting these people instead of checking with a supervisor before taking action. I literally just mentioned auditors which are people who go around to check that our rights as citizens still exist. Idk what you're on about crappy lawyers or crooked judges. Often purposely they are written vaguely because they(the legislators of said laws) can't presume every situation which is why case law becomes a thing. I love specific rules, it's also why laws need to be specific because more often than you think they are not. So just make up a cooperative game that both players eventually obtain their partners marbles. But the rule before said you had to play a game using your 10 marbles with your partner. You literally just ask the guard on the show. It's similar to when you play the classic game of marbles in the circle drawn in the dirt.Ĭall a grand jury about it? NO. But we should point out that the show itself distinguishes the thug's BLUE marble being knocked in as a means to win the marbles. It may be that most games involving marbles don't distinguish who's marbles are who's and you're just working with a 'pool' marbles.
It's still your marble, I just have possession of it. Your logic that if I take your marble, then it is now MY marble is the flaw. It felt as unsatisfying as a Chekhov's Gun not being fired by the last act. And the old man was also stalling for so long, I figured they were building up to one of those teams figuring it out at the last minute similar to how Gi-Hun figured out the honeycomb licking trick at the last minute of Game 2 (which saved the old man's life as well as others).Įverything about the writing seemed to be teasing/pointing to this "loophole" being figured out by someone, but then it never was. It seemed like it was teasing she would eventually have an epiphany and come up with a game to allow for both of them to win. I'll try to come up with one," as she stalled. Ji-yeong even says ".we can create our own game. When showing the main characters, they showed the two girls, Sae-Byeok and Ji-yeong, stalling and taking a long time choosing not to decide on a game right away. It just seemed so weird that the writers set this up perfectly so that it was worded in the one way that would allow for both players to simultaneously "win," without either player "losing."Īnd in regards to the filmmaking/storytelling the episode used, it kept teasing at this possibility even more. There are a plethora of ways they could do this, from basic to complicated, just in case "trading bags" is too basic to be considered a proper "game." They simply needed to come up with a "game" by which they could end up with the other person's bag of 10 marbles in the same turn/round. So seeing one of the pairs of our main characters come to this realization, and work together to meet the goal as a team, would have been a nice payoff. It would have been very satisfying too, as this game essentially tricked people into forming a team with someone they likely cared about or were close to (Gi-Hun specifically teamed up with the Old Man b/c he cared about him and didn't want him to remain alone and get killed), only to flip the script and have them compete against each other instead. Yep, the single rule/objective given certainly would allow for both players to win based on that technicality alone. And that this allows for Ji-Yeong, and maybe even Ali to live a little longer ?. I mean knowing what we know now, that the VIP wanted blood a la “le Hunger Games”, but let’s pretend we didn’t. So if A put down their marbles, and B does the same, it works. It only say to “take all ten marbles from their partner” to win. There’s no rule stating that both can’t “Win”, as in “There can only be One winner”. Just like how Gi-Hun figured out that licking the candy wasn’t “not allowed”,
Technically speaking, if both players agreed to just mutually swapped their marbles, and tie, don’t they both “win”? Players were given 30 minutes for this game. The player who manages to take all ten marbles from their partner wins. In this game, using the set of ten marbles, players will play the game of their choice with their partner. There should be a set of ten marbles in each bag. Players were given ten minutes to find their partner.Īfter choosing partners, players were asked take one bag each from the staff member before the players.There can only be two players per team.
