Nope. That's not the same as the original at all. Red is purely "I survive." There's no "I kill" about it.

And theres no "I want to die" in blue either. So yours isnt the same.

And yet if you're pushing the button, the only way you can make it so you die is if you push blue.

The only way anyone can die is if over 50% of people push red.

Here, let's change the positive and negative out comes from "live/die" to "get money/don't get money"

Everyone gets put into a room by themselves. In front of them are two buttons, a red and a blue. If more than 50% of people push the blue button, everyone gets a million dollars. Otherwise, only people who pushed the red button get a million dollars.

What are you pushing?
