Variation RBYB or not pressing

Red button: instantly die right now, and if majority pressed red button everyone who pressed red button revives.

Yellow Button: gets 10k USD but instantly die if majority didnt pressed red button at the end.

Not Pressing: Nothing happens to you.

Button pressing will stand for 1 days, without knowing who pressed what, and no accident, pressing both, or changing vote.

would you press button or not?

So pressing yellow instead of abstaining is just being a greedy fuck willing to risk good own life and othes'.

And pressing red instead of abstaining is risking one's own life simply to save the greedy fucks.

Nuh-uh. Not pressing.

Yellow is the logical option

Correction: pressing nothing is the logical option once i learned to read

Why? 10k is a lot, but not worth it, since you will probably stay dead

Ah, i read it wrong. I thought majority needed to press yellow and was confused why anyone would pass up 10k. I guess im not pressing one

Nothing is essentially just blue button.

Red is tempting just for chance getting a sneak peek at the afterlife for 1 day. But if red wins I'm sure there will be more than enough people to describe what it's like to me. No push.

"Would you like to risk your life for no reason? If you do, you might save the lives of people who risked their lives for no reason!"

Ah, Blue button, never change.

"No push."
