Of the 201 players that survived the first game, 14 did not return. The Front Man tells one of his lackeys to keep an eye on the ones that didn't return. Why do you think they want to keep tabs on them? Can they come back on a future date to compete? Are they planning on killing them to tie up loose ends? Are they the exception to the overwhelming compulsion of human nature to risk their lives for monetary gain?
Apologies for the Wall of Text but I can't do paragraphs via the app on My phone. As much as anything this is a warning to newer players. DO NOT LET SUSPICION GO TOO HIGH!! Of all the Menaces Suspicion is the one that leaves the most scars. Get arrested too often and your Criminal Record increases. Mine is at 6. As a Wretched Recidivist I lose 10℅ of Echoes & Rostygold, 1 Notability and Constable Favours per arrest. Not good as I'm grinding Shadowy with Heists and instant arrest is a threat. It would take 12 Special Dispensations to wipe My Record ( totaling 84 Favours!), I have... 1. So mind that Suspicion, kids. See you when I get done doin' bird again...

Three (Million) Strikes and Still Not Out: The Crown as the Consummate Recidivist?
Introduction As in any election year, New Zealand politicians and media alike have whipped the community into a frenzy over the spectre of criminals 'running amok’2 in our midst despite the statistics indicating that, if anything, reported crime rates have been declining and rates of resolution with respect to the most serious offences have improved markedly during the past decade. During the election campaign Winston Peters pledged to ‘mount a war against crime', promising to ensure the imprisonment of violent criminals ‘until they are too old to commit crimes'.4 While it may be tempting to interpret his electoral demise as a rejection of his ‘get tough on crime' stance, the rise in the ACT party's political fortunes would suggest that this is not the case. Not to be outdone by Winston Peters in the weeks leading up to the election, Rodney Hide introduced his 'three strikes and you're out' policy, reassuring his party faithful that conviction for a third violent offence would result in a sentence of twenty-five years to life. He appeared to take special pleasure in going one better than Peters' vision of prisons full of senior citizens by adding that prisoners could [djie in there if need be'. Both Labour and National pledged to get tough on crime and promised increased expenditure on law enforcement and the continued expansion of prisons.
While most politicians avoided making an explicit link between the criminals they were promising to lock up and Māori,5 it is no secret that some 50 percent of all prisoners are Māori, as are 60 percent of all female prisoners. Nobody was left in any doubt, therefore, as to who was envisaged as constituting the bulk of this fresh prison fodder.
The Department of Corrections has described the disproportionate representation of Māori in the criminal justice statistics as ‘alarmingand 'a catastrophe both for Māori and ... for New Zealand as a whole'.' In looking to find possible reasons for the present situation, the department rece

The main reason is to seperate higher echelon of inmates ("git people") from others, and most importantly from "frajers", which are the absolut bottom of prison's hierarchy.
As far as I know grypsera is no longer a part of prison's subculture, but it was at the time one of the most complex sociolects of Polish language and influenced the standard Polish, mainly through the "young slang".
Here is short list of some of the most popular words from "grypsera".
