Squid Game Spoilers/Question

I have a question about Squid Game and how they keep track of Players but first:

SPOILERS AHEAD . . . . PROCEED AT OWN RISK

Okay, single question. So there are 80 people participating in Game 3: Tug of War, then there are 40 people left to participate in Game 4: Marbles. Player 111 is executed and thus only 38 people will participate in Game 4 (Mi-Nyeo being escorted back), in which the population will again be cut in half. So 19 players survive Game 4, adding back in Mi-Nyeo gives us 20 players going into Game 5: Glass Bridge. Player 069 hangs himself in the night over the guilt of killing his wife. Thus 19 players should enter Game 5. But Game 5 is conducted with only 16 players . . . what happened to the other 3? They don’t appear to survive Game 4 but that doesn’t make sense mathematically. Help? Numbers breakdown/timeline below:

Players Starting Squid Game: 456

Players Surviving Game 1, Red Light Green Light: 201

*all remaining players go home*

Player Returning to Squid Game: 187 (14 remain in normal life)

Players Surviving Game 2, Ppopgi: 108

Players Surviving Riots: 80

Players Surviving Game 3, Tug of War: 40

*Doctor (Player 111) dies, Mi-Nyeo (Player 212) bypasses Game 4*

Players Entering Game 4, Marbles: 38

*somewhere here 3 players go missing*

Players Leaving Game 4, Marbles: 16

*069 hangs himself, Mi-Nyeo re-enters count*

Players Entering Game 5, Glass Bridge: 16

Players Leaving Game 5, Glass Bridge: 3

*Sae-Byeok (Player 067) killed in her bed*

Players Entering Game 6, Squid Game: 2

Winners: 1

Where did the extra 3 people go?

What to do when a player misses a session

While players of different ages make the games more interesting, there's the problem that they may have conflicting schedules every so often. But missing a player is okay, there's a few things you can do. Here's what I recommend doing in those situations.

[

If they are not the main focus in the arc:

Don't be afraid to knock 'em out.

If they have a spouse/lover there's always that option as well.

If you can arrange a separate session for them you are welcome to do so.

If they are important to the arc:

Mini-quests, side-quests, searches, and explorations are always good options.

Don't fear, as long as these don't comprise most of the journey my players have had a lot of fun with these.

If you have a "safe-area" set up, knock the character out and leave them there.

If you have no "safe-area" your players have to drag the body around.

If more than half of the party is missing, it's best to reschedule if you can.

If the player will be late:

Sure, you can always wait to start the game until they arrive.

~OR~ start the game and have the other players go through an ordeal: meeting a new NPC, a short battle, review the last session and interact with NPCs, plan their next action, replenish supplies, or go on an ultra-miniquest.

Or you could knock them out again and just introduce them back into the game when they show up.

Don't forget to always review the last session, players have busy lives and can't always remember everything.

And don't be afraid to have fun with your players. Inside jokes may arise from Mini-quests because they tend to be entertaining, things don't always have to be serious.

Hey there, groovyMoonbird again (currently a mage of hope, whats with the hope class)

I talked a bit about this last time ( i apologize about the radical change in tone during that post i figured out a bit back how to make alcohol using some berries i alchemized)

Dont know how long its been for you but its been around 3 months for me since the end of my last session

Ive found myself here alone in this session, as far as i can tell and what youve told me, i either have a solo session or based on what i know about the void class a missing player, but even void doesn't quite line up with some of this

I went ahead and checked a few dungeons before i found a duo-dungeon

Its not blank persay, as it has a large square as the secondary symbol, not sure what this could indicate

Far more alarming however is that my denizen is also gone, im having large stretches where my memory blanks (even when i dont drink) and i continue to be normal blind in my fucked up eye

Said fuck it and went to challenge my denizen in a half drunken rage only to find nothing, everything has been looted and cleared out

Land is nothing special as far as i can tell (land of bushes and swamps)

The reason im so concerned is that i haven't slept at all since starting this session and staring at the square on dungeons makes my teeth hurt and fills my mouth with a sugary saliva , so im certain that i have a doppelganger situation occurring

The consorts are addressing me as two people now

Im afraid that something is very very wrong with this session

Wait, groovyMoonbird, you were the anon stuck in the solo session? Right after getting noclipped into the Furthest Ring? I think you have the worst luck I've ever seen in my life, given the frequency with which you find yourself in improbable situations. Do yourself a favor and please contact a gamebreaking community at some point, I'm sure they'll love you, and also have zillions of questions.

A Saccharine Doppleganger may be possible, if you're experiencing sudden sugar tastings (or sympathetic sugar rushes, which might be contributing to any pain or black-outs), but a lot of this behavior doesn't line up with what scant reports of Saccharine Dopplegangers that exist. While they are copies of you, they aren't player entities. I'm pretty sure the Consorts shouldn't be acknowledging them, and the game registering them another player and generating a false Aspect for them is just straight-up impossible. Killing the denizen is also highly unusual behavior, they usually just shittify your house by making thousands of Fancy Santas, and then they track you down and do something unspeakable to you. Speaking of which, if you can get to an Alchemiter, JPG-ify your gun. Saccharine Dopplegangers tend to make Zilly equipment, and Artifact is the only hard counter to that kind of stuff. It will be a janky-ass gun you probably can't even hold correctly, but that will be your best tool in the fight. I want you to know I'm being sincere right now, this isn't a prank.

Now here's the bad news. Without your Denizen, you're kind of fucked. I once again don't think the Saccharine Doppleganger killed it, but point is, they're pretty useful when you're completely lost up Poop Creek without a paddle, or a boat. The good news is, we don't actually know what happened to it. It could have just not spawned because not all players are in the session yet. It could just be hiding and fucking with you. After you're done mopping up the Candy Thing, I'd reccomend scouring for any signs of the potential missing players. The Duo Dungeon is a lead, but there's also the Dream Moons and any SBURB-related forums on Earth (or whatever planet you came from), assuming you haven't 100% confirmed that Earth is 100% destroyed.

You survived too much for some sort of Void Session to kill you. Fight on, groovyMoonbird!
