Go To

  • After telling the police and having her bank account drained, Vee gets knocked out and wakes up in some crate with creepy graffiti of her name on the walls. A computer tells her that her personal information has been leaked and shows a gif of Vee's turning into a skeleton. Then Ian bails her out and tells her that there's actually three types of users: Watchers, Players, and Prisoners, and that because she snitched, she's become a Prisoner. One question: Where the fuck does this come into play. The fact that she's a "Prisoner" seems to have zero effect on her place in the game, as she still has to do the final dare like a regular player with no handicap whatsoever. The whole scene feels like a Big-Lipped Alligator Moment to me.
    • It's obviously a way to blackmail someone into continuing to play when they might have otherwise quit, upping the stakes of the player by giving them a real world incentive to keep going. As for who the fuck was setting _that_ up, who the hell knows.
