    I feel better since I’m mentally prepared for an exam, a debt game, some ghosts, escape rooms, zombie outbreaks, a zombie outbreak on a train, death games, a death game I’m in because someone browsed my search histories and turned me into a cat, and how to beat literally a killer running into my apartment. Might I say I’m slightly prepared?

      @@cl1cka yes but she didn’t know what she was getting into. It would have been better (to a western audience) if she knew the true gravity of the situation and went with greed over her, or someone else’s well-being. Just because no one put a gun in her mouth and told her to play doesn’t mean it’s not still a weak plot device. (Usually) the plot should not push the characters, the characters should push the plot. I’m not trying to attack the show in anyway, the lack of character development is probably a cultural difference. A lot of times in anime’s or Japanese/Korean shows characters have little character development (and sometimes motive), the evil characters are evil and the courageous and selfless characters a courageous and selfless. A lot of times in western media this is a sign of weak writing but this is usually not the case in eastern media.

    After hearing the rules, I think the best option would be to give each other the money so we technically ‘stole’ the other persons money. In the rules, it doesn’t say you keep what you save, just what you steal, so the best solution is to use the million yen to trade for the other persons yen. This also has the be if it if not making enemies, as everyone’s happy

      This strategy won't really work, it will only be the same as if both players didn't play at all.
      The video has a very simplified version of the rules.
      In the show, it is stated that the player with the most money at the end will win. The Liar Game Agency will take back 100 million yen from each player, the winner keeping their excess and the loser being in debt for the amount they cannot pay back.
      So if the players trade their money with each other, it will be treated as if there was no change at all and the game ends in a tie with nobody winning any money.

    14:00 No. The young lady can't stop playing. But, the conman can stop playing. The conman isn't technically a player. So he could have walked away until he went to stop the young lady from playing and became a player that way. 30:00 So another player having your name plate doesn't prevent your vote from being counted. So the strategy of stealing someone's nameplate to nullify their vote wouldn't work. So stealing someone else's nameplate would be pointless unless you could get it off of the premises.
    Also, there is a much simpler way to beat the Liar Game than anything that you laid out: Lawyer Up. No court would say that watching a video tape constitutes agreeing to a contract when you were not given any warning to that effect. So keep the initial cash, find a good contract lawyer, and beat the game's organizers in court.

The whole point actually is if people calmed down and stopped being greedy they'd realize they don't need to play against each other but that the real person they need to beat are the game organizers by working together. Almost every game in the show can end with everyone working together and paying each other's debt

    But Akyama literally would not help her if she wasn’t this pure, and people like her exist, so watching her growth over the manga was fun. Going from the type of person to return a quarter to the police(her character intro), to someone who could play serious personality games without Akyama, you just had to not mind the beginning.
    Plus, great games, just fantastic games.

    This is my favorite manga. I revisit it once in a while. There is usually a way out for them in every game as long as they're willing to corporate. They're Zero Sum games after all. But no one trusted anyone, their hatred tw each other grew bigger when they entered more rounds. However, there's one person who always kept her words, never betrayed, and accepted anyone who wanted to join her. That's Nao. She never changed her belief in human, and she did become smarter throughout the process while trying not to harm anyone with the help of Akiyama, who trusted no one ever except for himself. Everyone realized that they could at least trust Nao for once, and they kinda broke the cycle. I never hate Nao in the manga, she's annoying at first purely because she doesn't understand how this cruel world works, but she's really someone we wanna root for.

    The way to win this is easy. A VCR video, not in writing, cannot force consent, and is not legally binding. By watching the VCR tape, it does not force you to participate in the game because it is not legally binding. You did not sign a contract. You did not even verbally agree. You will win 100% of court cases with this problem.

      I been trying to think of a way to argue this, and I can't think of one realistically, because money does actually just rule the world.
      If you brought it up and made a public ordeal of it, most of society would side with you and call it injustice, but you would just be silenced, and media would be paid off to make you look like the villain.
      Of course, there's no 100% guarantee this will happen either, so it's worth a try to bring it up with the court. Worst they can do is make you honour the tape, which is happening in the film anyway.

    Best way to beat the game.
    With the initial money, invest it i to several different stocks. Choose safe ones that are rising slowly and steadily. At the end of the month sell it all, keep the profits.
    Since you physically don't have the money, it will be extremely difficult for the opponent to steal it. If you play it safe you'll get a few thousand dollars profit, if you take a bit of a risk, you could end up with a bigger profit, but might lose some of it if a stock drops.
    So I'd play it safe, no reason to be greedy.
