Uhh, yeah, you can do this, yes, this works, but I wouldn't do any of this. Life is not about scores. It's about living it like you want it. If you want to get the scores, that's fine, but not everyone are like that. If I learned that my coworker stalked me into the plane I'd move away ASAP. Sure, it's a game, but I rather lose and stay human, than game the system. And those who do - there are many more social hacking techniques one could use. There's this last "conundrum" on pulling the offer for that completely weird scenario, where new hire comes in next week, there's no contract, they quit and then offer is withdrawn. Outside of complete absurd context there's one solution - bite the bullet. Either by free lunch for 6 months or so, or just taking hire in. Reputation damage from doing this kind of stunt would be much higher than a single salary. But in such management as a game context, score can be given for "sucks to be you, make sure to sign the contract first".
