prisoner's dilemma analogy

[Gary_Yngve]

you're in a room of 30 people and some dude w/ a gun comes in and starts firing. if you do nothing, you may get shot. if you charge the gunman, you have a greater chance of getting shot. if you all charge the gunman, you may get shot, and the gunman will be disarmed. what do you do?

[olyclimber]

form a team and make sure everyone agrees to take equal risk in charging the gunman. as the person who formed the committee, have your team agree that leadership should stay in the back in case a new plan is needed.

[G-spotter]

bullet time. take the red pill.

[Choada_Boy]

I'd get an abortion.

[olyclimber]

i would not be there. i would have skipped class.

There is an appropriateness, and an irony, in an academic asking a question that cannot be answered by book, lecture, or study.

[tvashtarkatena]

I'd flush the narcotics.

You all throw your chairs or desks at him.

Or put him to sleep with complaints about the ineptitude of your university cohorts!

i would have gotten shot. i was more of a loud mouth in college than i am now

 

[Dechristo]

Turn to your TA and say, "I've got a pressing task for you to address ASAP."

That is difficult to imagine.

attack the fucker

 

 

[ivan]

why not ask the gunman how he's feeling? perhaps he just needs a hug?

[tvashtarkatena]

I'd get out MY gun, and order everyone in the room to stand between me and the assailant while I discretely step out for coffee.

 

Hopefully, the class is graded on a curve.

shouldn't 1 of the 10 essentials be used in this situation? turn the setting on the tauntaun to "aggressive"?

You probably do the same thing the 30 did. Be scared shitless and get shot. Happened to fast and too much blood to think. Just pure fear. Me personally I play dead on floor and hope he doesn't shoot me there and if clips hit floor then think about attacking.

Obviously the situation calls for leveraging your remote controlled taun taun. Taun^2 are well equipped to break down doors with chains on them.
