These pseudo-events are almost necessary in our first-past-the-post system, to build consensus among two wings and avoid the spoiler effect. With its air of legitimacy it creates a schelling point (or two) so that a bunch of strangers can cooperate in a very strange game. It doesn't really matter what schelling point you choose, just that you're able to choose the same one, and your expected payoff will be higher.
