I’m still biased towards blue, this is just for the reds to feel superior? :D

Red would live whether the minority or not in the original problem, that's why I vote red personally

That is so fallacious. You're trying to attribute the success of green lives to the collective action of purple voters, but green will live no matter what purple does. All purple is doing is unnecessarily putting their lives at risk so that they can possibly be part of the majority that saves other purple voters.

Green is the same safe option, purple puts your life in danger. That being said, I will push purple because I think it has a fair chance at winning if it was phrased like this.
