The button obviously does something. The question is what.
We can speak to the other teams, though. So that's a good thing. We usually ... can't. So trying to maybe figure out a solution together could be a good thing.
Diz said it seems to mirror a concept she's familiar with. Everybody has this power, everybody is worried that someone else will use that power on them, so attack first.
It's a game of trust.
Whether or not we press the button, something's going to happen. And since we're able to speak to each other ... it's probably a game of testing whether or not we do what we say we will. We can say "we're not pushing it" and then do it because we don't want to die.
Whatever happens, I don't want to become a liar to people I consider my friends. If all of the other teams decide to take a certain unanimous action ... I'm okay with standing with them.
It seems like the other teams think the same thing.
Once, a long time ago there was a game where every team was going to die. Each team could pick one other team to shield, and everybody could send one message out to everyone. Through that, everybody lived because they went in alphabetical order.
The Echo lost a lot of power because everybody won.
If nobody shielded anybody, the Echo would have also lost power by having to revive everybody.
So solidarity seems like the best idea, no matter which choice it is.
If it means less games like this ... one less Echo to make us hurt each other and laugh about it and relish in the results ... well. I can't speak for anybody else, but it's good for me.
I'm just tired of games like this. Even if both choices were a fake-out and harmless ... one of the points of the game is trust. Trying to plant distrust between teams like that, [ His voice lowers a little. ] there's been too much that already.
You didn't press the BUTTON. You're not going to be responsible for GENOCIDE.
But someone else did. And the CREATURES left in your country? They're out for blood.
You and everyone you know and love proceeds to ENDGAME.
(Seriously? There was one rule. This one can't believe how stupid you all are. You couldn't even go all the way with breaking it. Broken ones are bad at games.)

In either case, hopefully it drains her if it works like Rotten's old game did, even if the outcome is a bad one.
Hopefully it's not, though!
Re: DISCUSSION
Re: DISCUSSION
And remember what Nyssa did when she got too much power.
It'd be great if Nafuna gets drained at the end of this that she exceeds what almost happened to Rotten.
Re: DISCUSSION
Re: DISCUSSION
But if Rotten got so weak, the possibility might be there.
