Poll of the Day > You enter a Russian Roulette tournament, with 10,000 competitors.

(+) Yeah! (+)

The whole competition is bracket based. You have the option of spinning the revolver chamber, before putting it to your temple and pulling the trigger. If you die, you do not move on to the next bracket. The winner receives a $1,000,000,000 cash prize.

You have a bullet-proof glass window separating you from your opponent. Any cheating, foul play, or quitting will result in your immediate termination.

How screwed are you?

If you die, you do not move on to the next bracket.

wonder why

Why the hell would I enter a Russian Roulette tournament where, to emerge with my life and winnings, I'd have to win against 10,000 other people?

That's stupid. And what the fuck am I going to do with $1 billion, aside from getting some counseling for PTSD?

I'll only enter if it's double elimination.

Wouldn't 8192 or 16,384 competitors make more sense?

Either you'll die or you'll win, correct? So it's 50/50.

While extremely rare for obvious reasons, some people actually have survived a shot to the head.... so according to TC's rules/wording, you move on to the next round if you do indeed survive.

You quit, and instantly die.
