Description

Full resolution and details: On balance, the titular game within the show "Squid Game" is morally justified to continue (treating the story as real). The framework used here is utilitarianism (net benefits) as well as the social contract. Pro must prove that the game is "moral" taking in both benefits and detriments, while Con must prove the Game is Immoral and should be stopped.

Dunno about life and virtues and these stuff, but the games look like they could be possible IRL.

Unchallenged in the debate, but it's not known if they actually killed the drop-outs. When the game ended, player #1 had not died, nor had player #456; yet if trusting the count as actually being per player death, they should have been dead. It seems to me the money is actually a fixed amount, with increases during the game just being one more way to mess with the players.

thanks!

Actually, never mind. It's a vote based on a concession, so I'll just remove it. You're welcome to re-post anytime.

Just confirm that that is what you want to do and I will go forward with it.

why is bigpimpdaddy voting Pro?

It is like Lottery and game show, but most people are incompetent and the skills required for it are near useless, and you die if you lose. Close to nobody would do it realistically.
