I would sit down and try to discuss the complicated situation with the group about to slaughter my friends and family and, in so doing, avoid the violent-outcome-only assumptions built into your thought game. It'd be a win-win solution. Maybe my friends and family, who were peacefully enjoying the da,y would end up peacefully enjoying the day, in an unexpected ...[text shortened]... eelings towards them. I'd see the dilemma you describe as an opportunity for all those involved.
That was more like what I expected. Feel good about your intentions at the funerals.

I set the rules for the scenerio, not you.

Originally posted by @eladarProposing a supposed "thought game" that has only one solution is just weak minded posturing, Eladar. Shame on you. Nevertheless, I thought outside the box. I found a way out which avoided fatalities. I believe my answer to your "thought game" was my Kobayashi Maru moment. It will be cited on this forum again and again in the years to come.
You chose to believe another scenerio was possible, but your idealistic beliefs only resulted in death.
