Not that, I meant the actual execution of gambit itself, the trigger of bringing Kane into the facility.
Even if he was ill or was on bed rest, he could still have started the whole plan an year back and he would still have had an hand on the direction of program. As we have seen till now, from the time we saw the meeting with Elena, its still has been less than a few months and, assuming linear progression of game and the time that passes inside the game, more than half of gambit has passed.
The Gambit has evolved from creating a male heir, to creating a male heir through Kane and his daughters. The other part of the Gambit is for that individual to run the company. It has been 3 months exactly (give or take a few days) from Alexander dying to GD01. So in reality, none of the sisters can take over the company, only their child can. It's a two part issue. Again, we (I..whatever) assume that Kane going through the tribulations of rising up against authorative women (as Alexander did himself under different circumstances) is also part of the Gambit. We can also assume this was part (at some point) of Alexander not killing Kane, Olivia and Callista.
Important to also keep in mind, Kane was 'arrested' immediately after Alexander died...I suppose some people will blame Callista for that too lol, (why wasn't she there to stop him assaulting Rod).....everything, was planned. Unfortunately, again, like Seth for example, we are still way too in the dark with many things to understand more.
The Karlsson Group board members are all seemingly content working in the part of the corporate structure that best suit their personality and capabilities
Quite naturally.
The only person at the KG that seems capable of forcing the gambit to happen is Veronica (same threat as she issued Alexander), but she's largely indifferent towards all of it.
Consider the Gambit (in it's current evolved iteration) as Alexander's will. She is just the executor of said will and is largely indifferent as she does not want to run the company. That's why she knows the most and is doing things according to said will.
Which is why I assume that she's ????? at the boat meeting with the Gambit Queen
Correct.
People seem to assume that the Gambit has to happen, when it would be infinitely more convenient to just ignore that specific request from their dead father.
You're forgetting like many others that the board just votes on decisions. Alexander owned the company. Someone needs to own and be in overall charge of the company. As part of the Gambit (again, read above), consider it also a last will and testement. If we for the moment, forget that it might all be pointless anyway (if the world is utterly doomed), then how is that going to happen? Are we going have all out Wrestlemania between the sisters for Kanes baby batter? No KaneDaughter child....no ownership of the company, no company, shit falls apart for all the Karlsson's. Back to the first thing of your post I quoted above
Also do not forget, the world itself is not unliveable. Plenty of people live around, we are only told the 'largest population centers' are in South Africa. Not the entire population. Obviously, if the weather in the Mid/North Atlantic is anything to go by, temperate, weather and other conditions are all perfectly just A-Ok (forget where Cole is, irelevent and not indicitive of the rest of the planet). What is the issue is the economy has completely crashed and now food is scarce for various reasons etc. The company needs an owner (remember, it was reported in the news...where is this news I wonder), it's still a legal scenario in this dystopian world.
There is also the distinct possiblity (remember what we are told about Alexander and what he became), that he has also put clauses into the Gambit/his will that we are not aweare of, and neither are most other people to ensure it goes as he intends. I personally would be more surprised if he
hadn't done something like that. Recall the beginning conversation with DeathbedDaughter....
