- inigyou 2mo agoRefusing to play the game just means you lose the game. It isn't a third state, it's a resignation.
- oska 2mo agoYou can't resign from a position you never held or a game you never entered into
- inigyou 2mo agoOh you're in the game. Your choice is whether to win the game or lose the game. Also if you lose the game you die. It's like Jumanji. Pretending the tiger isn't real is not a viable option.
- pseudalopex 2mo agoLife is not 1 game with 2 ends. And everyone dies.
