The "experiment" you're referring to is playing a game designed to be unfair, to start a conversation about fairness?
The vitriol people are projecting on such a benign game really makes me think society would be served well if many of the commenters here had participated in similar games as children themselves.
I didn't read the whole thing. I read through the kids being jerks, then the the town was destroyed, then the teachers started running experiments on the kids.
That was the part that really got me. Teachers running unsanctioned experiments to emotionally provoke my children. That is unacceptable
