Isekai Arigatou - Ch. 23 - Chamber of Trials ②

[MangaDex]

 

[NinjaGoemon]

A fate worse than death some might say

 

[spawnknight]

I do hope the both of them realize that by saying no, they charm may increase, but will only affect those of the opposite sex.

 

[Zhangar]

There's two more questions. I wonder what more the Guildmaster lost.

 

[EgregiousTophat]

Dawg i would absolutely give up my sex drive.

 

[sigo8]

You only get the charm if the answers are split. Also Shiina doesn't want the charm he is freaking out about splitting the answers either direction.

 

[77BLc9JwJGpLVARkamJx]

Shit test, I hope they destroy the chamber.

 

[MagnaDrake]

So the master and thug guy failed in round one.

 

[ReikoLupus]

Alright, not only the guy that said this may end being the Prisoner's Dilemma was right, this ended being a pretty fun version of the Prisoner's Dilemma~.
For me, it would be easy.
I already have no Sex Drive to lose!
...But I would still depend on my Partner for the Trial answering Yes too.
And who knows what the other 2 are.
Even if you don't get the Artifact, you can still come out of there with some powerful "Blessings".
Looking forward to seeing how this goes~.

 

[SuperMachamp]

Nkw this is getting even better.

 

[Levankua]

Cool version of the dilemma by adding some extra layers

 

[Porg]

yES

 

[rkkn]

I already have no Sex Drive to lose!

and pfp is purple gray and black

:hmmm:

 

[dcdfvr]

Logically the answer was already given to just say yes and you win. I fail to see how no would ever be an option unless you're intentionally trying to deprive your partner.

Remember that thing that had been going on on the Internet of:
"Every Human has to press a Button. If the majority press Red, nobody dies. If the majority press Blue, everyone that presses Red dies."?
There were a LOT of people that chose to press Blue, becuase "There was no risk to press Blue, while you could die if you press Red. Therefore, only idiots would press Red".
There genuinelly are lots of people out there that assume most smart people would press Blue, so they have to press Blue to not die alongside the Idiots.
This is pretty much the basis of the Prisoner's Dilemma.
People will fuck over everyone else because they think that putting themselves at risk not choosing the riskless option is being dumb.
The "Smart" choice being to make others pay the price.
And in this case, that dilemma is pushed even harder by not only having multiple prices to pay, but each time you backstab the other you get a fantastic permanent boon to the rest of your life.
Logically, answering "Yes" and pressing the Red Button is the best choice, is the choice where everyone wins in the end.
But plenty of "Smart" people will answer "No" and press he Blue Button, thinking that is the smart choice.
It was astounding to find how many people firmly believed and defended that choice...

see the issue with that is it's with random strangers. of course most are incentivized to prioritize themselves over others in such a case. however in this scenario it's with someone you know and probably trust making it harder to betray that trust unless you're just that terrible of a person

If only that was the case...
The Prisonner DIlemma is a thing precisely because, when stakes are high, people do tend to fall for this kind of thing, even if they knew each other well and trusted each other.
Since the vote is made in private, without the other person being able to hear it, it makes it easier to betray each other, and if confronted about it, throw the fault on each other or at the organizers of the thing.
Unfortunately, there is a saying that tend to apply in a lot of cases:
"A person is stupid. People are smart."
By isolating people and not letting them speak to each other on what to do, the chances of one of them doing something stupid skyrocket.
We really don't do well when alone.
