yes your faith in me is as palpable as your faith in "the power of friendship"
[He does have a point though...except it's nothing that would be helpful here.]
Again, I didn't solve anything.
But those involved were given different parameters. They were locked inside a school and told the only way to escape was to murder another participant and get away with it in a trial held thereafter. If the killer eluded detection, they alone would be set free and the rest would be executed. If the killer was found out, they were executed and the game continued.
Eventually they were able to root out the hidden mastermind, and had them executed in one of their own trials. Only then were they able to go free.
It was a game where the rules were laid out from the start, and every few days motivation was given to spur violence. Threats against loved ones, money, exposed secrets, etc.
The second time a killing game occurred, it was in a city overthrown by a rebellious faction. The hostages were simply expected to outlast and defeat the perpetrators. They were outfitted with bombs that would go off if they breached city limits, and left to fight for their lives.
We're not in the same situation, but it easily could turn that way. We're at their mercy.
