Lights out. Somewhere in this block, a man is doing the math. Bounty on one side. Everyone he eats with on the other. The bounty is capped. The tunnel isn't. Dig.

Roll call. Nobody leaves alone. Nobody gets out early. Somebody always thinks about talking.

Everyone digs the same tunnel. Everyone's deposit sits in the same cell. The tunnel moves as fast as the group. Anyone can rat it out: 1%, capped, price public. Break through together, split the pot. Or get sold out for pocket change. Dig or rat. 🥄

You can betray everyone here, and we published the price. Dig with the group, split the pot. Or rat out the tunnel, take 1% capped, and send everyone back to zero metres. At 25 diggers on a $50,000 pot: $2,000 to dig, $500 to talk. Talking always pays less. It just pays now. The list of informants is permanent. Nobody has talked yet.
