[ and what an edge that is...

wow clarke really has put some thought into this. it's impressive, as opposed to venti who is considerably more passive and maybe didn't quite put much creative pondering into what exactly the game could be at all, simply asking others instead. it's the case that he'd be more curious to what others think than his own ideas anyway. like an echo, a mirror. a bard would rather sing about others than himself, or so it could be. ]


Mr Maximilien wondered if it might build upon the truth and lies with water, if we learn secrets about one another and are given an opportunity to exploit them. Mizuki said that Jenny mentioned "unanimously voting for a sacrifice, including the sacrifice" and speculated that the sacrifice or punishment could be worse than simply dying. For instance, losing our memories. The fact that Friday and the Captain apparently know "everything" about us means they could prey on our fears, probably our deepest fears.
Your predictions are really substantial too. And... graphic, but we probably can't rule anything out. I suppose the problem is we have some prior warning that this will be "bad" but that's all the warning we have and it's difficult to try to prepare for something like that.
Maybe the only thing we can do so far is to try to mentally prepare for the worst? Or simply not sign up if it's an excursion but I can already guess that's a goal doomed to fail.
