Do you press the button?


You and 6 random PotD posters are locked in 7 adjacent cells. You are all unable to see each other, but are within shouting distance of each other. Each cell has a button. The first person to press the button is immediately released while everyone else instantly dies.

If no one presses the button for 3 minutes then everyone is released.
Probably.

That's... not how the game is supposed to go. There's no tangible benefit to one person pressing the button.

Make it so that you get a cash reward or something, like $500,000 if you press the button and survive. If nobody presses the buttons, nobody dies, but nobody gets the money.
Uh, yeah!

tbh, the board has a few sociopaths which makes it a legit danger. Plus if you add a cash reward where everybody else dies, you now make people more worried about their survival. Where if you picked 6 random PotDers, there's probably a reasonably good chance that one isn't a complete sociopath who would kill for fun, you now increase the risk of somebody being tempted while encouraging pressing as a preemptive defensive measure because -- money or no money -- if I have strong reason to believe that somebody is about to press a button and kill me, I would press it in self-defense.

Basically yeah. I wouldn't trust any PotD member to not press the button.

Considering the mental and emotional state some of the people here are in, I would feel compelled to push my button. The chance that one of the others would be sick enough to relish the chance to kill other people in a situation where it was "justified" is too great for me to risk waiting.

Id press the button because there is no way I can trust 6 total strangers.
Obviously I don't press it. I can't get the best outcome if I do.

yes I mean it that way

I'd like to think when push comes to shove, even the worst of this board wouldn't kill 6 others for shits and giggles.

No. Who would press it in that scenario?!
Post #15 was unavailable or deleted.
Are the people voting yes for real?!

You would have to be human scum to actually press the button in this scenario. Sure, you might be scared that somebody else will press it and want to press it first, but that just makes you absolute trash that doesn't deserve to live.

Don't ask.

The fact that this is totally possible from you cretins means I have no choice but to push the button.

We could literally have ICO slam the button right away, wasting 6 good lives and then continuing on to waste his own for years to come
Man 3 minutes is all this lasts talk about a pretty lame scenario. This is like the The Dark Knight situation but instead of having higher stakes and more lasting repercussions this is like 3 minutes and its over.

Imagine the Joker setting that one up okay if neither of you blows up the others boat in 3 minutes I will turn off both bombs and both sides walk away free.

Oh, I doubt that would actually happen.

You people are a bunch of self-concerned pricks.

but someone would most likely press the button which means you would die if you didnt press it first. clearly a benefit to pressing it
I couldn't risk letting somebody else press it.

hmmm, so if I press it, I either get to die in a non suicidal way or we all get to leave. If I press it, I have to deal with the follow up of murdering 6 people, which possibly involves prison time.
I am awesome and so are you.

Depending on who winds up in the other cells, pushing the button might be more of a public service than anything.

All this topic tells me is I really need to reevaluate my decision to hang out here or hope I never get kidnapped with any of you all.

Okay but if I manage to kidnap you anyways can I touch your face whenever I want?

I mean sure. Seems reasonable.
You really think the trolls on this board are willing to take a life? Sure they may act edgy online, but in person they're probably really nice.

I'm imaging this, maybe not nice, but better than they act on here. Even if it was the worst of the worst on this board, no one that I can recall seems like they actually would be the killing type.
