[ Thoughtfully reading through the rules... ]

It appears we can turn back at any time if it becomes too dangerous. Is there a penalty for doing so? Do you think?

...Not that I can tell, no.

In truth, the fact that there are "instant and painless revives" available as a prize at all is the most concerning part of this situation.

It looks like sitting it out entirely is an option.

Re: ROUND 1 DISCUSSION

[worthathousand]

Arguably that makes the most important prize the ability to revive whichever teams don't take that opportunity.

But I can't say I like walking into such a clearly labeled trap.

Great, a mind game.

What are your thoughts?

I suppose... I am attempting to figure out what the incentive is for us to move forward. Knowledge? Something important to us here? Outside of the fact that we might earn a revive of some sort. That already presents us with the fact that there may be danger, but if that's the case... we should be able to pull out if necessary.

I admit I am not keen on being hurt, but I am somewhat intrigued by the fact that this option is offered at all. And to what purpose if we can pull back at any time.

The rules say that every round may have a fatal threat.

If we do this, we would be best served by committing in the entirety: to take the safety we've been offered, or to continue to the bitter end.

Re: ROUND 1 DISCUSSION

Outside of a possible revive for winning...what incentive is there for us to continue then? There must be some reason...

[ Or maybe he's overthinking it? ]

I'm not sure that I see a reason as it stands for risking our lives unless there's something that would be of great use to us in the future on the other end. And we have no way of knowing if there is.
