I don't remember if they used this one exactly, but as far as all the gun stuff went the promises were spot-on, probably because they already had all of them and knew how they worked.
Was armor ever used? I definitely don't remember any of the fish wearing it. I think the closest they got was bosses that took multiple hits to take down.
They did have caches but they weren't that important and nothing was particularly hard for the fish to find, it ended up being more of a "check here every day and maybe there will be goodies" gimmick.
Again, all the gun stuff was pretty much spot on, but it's hard to fuck that up when it's less based on invented rules and more based on the reality of the airsoft guns they had on hand.
None of the fish used a bow, the closest we got was Greg's crossbow but he wasn't a contestant.
This never happened, they were either planning something with drones or this was always a gaslight on the fans, like the fake S3 "leaks."
The arena was definitely never 24/7 PVP, obviously that's a logistical nightmare so the way they ended up doing it was nobody goes into the arena unless there's a designated quest or other activity that takes you there so production can actually plan fights.
I don't remember any chips in Bloodgames.
IIRC the jamming thing actually did happen because the shells leaked gas or something. I distinctly remember Tay having issues with her shotgun.
I don't remember much in the way of bounties but they did have a jobs notice board that was similar, although I don't remember that amounting to much.
I think this was the actual exchange rate? Sodaman set up the economy and he seems actually competent so if this went off as planned that's not surprising.
