Russian Roulette?

In addition to my previous comment:

Russian Roulette is simply suicide for gamblers

THAT. I'm not a masochist after all despite my drawbacks as a person. Also these too:

Are you crazy?! Firing a revolver that close to my ear would permanently damage my hearing!

Indeed. I would like to be able to hear the bullet plow through the dude that made me play the game.

1 in 6 chance of dying? No thanks.

Yup, it's pointless despite all possible conditions in which one would found himself/herself in such a deadly situation.

P.S.

I've got a few personal sayings I use on a frequent basis. One of them:
"Lady fortune is my *****" So yeah if I had any reason I could bring myself to play.

Well, there's always a first for everything and it will probably be your last too if you are overconfident about your luck. :|
I'm quite the unlucky guy myself and I also don't believe in luck as a concept, but statistical analysis says 1/6 chance of immediate death (if the revolver has this amount of total bullet holes) and that's not a chance/risk that I would ever like to take.

Maybe. There are certain times when I really start to hate myself and think the world would be better off without me and loose all concern for my well-being. I played with the i-Gun app on the iPod once and won every single time. Mind you, we did

[ul]
-1 in the chamber
-2 in the chamber
-3 in the chamber
-4 in the chamber
-5 in the chamber
-6 in the chamber (the iPod died.
[/ul]

And we spread the bullets out all sorts of ways.

Certainly! On the condition that I am Deadpool, but only on that condition... And I would have to stay Deadpool. The whole insta regenerating brain cells thing is pretty awesome, screw the insanity!

 

[I'mANinja]

Well, 6 bullets and I go last, they'll all be dead and I won't bother trying.

You can always spin the chamber when you play RR. In fact, you'd be stupid not to, as it resets the odds to 5-to-1. If you don't spin, the chance decreases incrementally.

Well I wasn't clear on what the actual rules are for the real version and I'm sure different people (or morons if you prefer) play it differently, but I intentionally didn't spin it in the flash game just to add a bit more tension. I was just amazed that I made it all the way and that Gimp didn't spin it himself because he usually does.

Depends, what are the stakes?

 

[Deschamps]

I wouldn't ever consider it, especially if I was playing with someone like this guy:

 

[Ashcrexl]

what would be the context? am i doing it to win a million dollars? am i doing to save someone else's life? am i doing it for the lulz? if i had a proper motivation, i totally would.

also:

"Would you like to join me for a game of Russian roulette? Come on how about it son. If you win I 'll let you in on a little secret. How to hit on women with 100% success."

"And if I lose?"

"If you lose, then I want you to kill the president."

 

[Samwise137]

Not on your life (although I guess it would be more appropriate for me to say not on MY life). I can't even pick up a paintball gun and point it at a hay bale much less a person or still less me.

 

[Kanazuchi]

No, unless it was the drinking game variant (one six pack of beer, one can shaken violently, players take turns opening cans under their noses, get sprayed and you have to drink every open can.)

 

[LiudvikasT]

No, I wouldn't. I intend to live forever, no need to screw it up with stupid bullshit.

 

[GodofDisaster]

I wouldn't even consider playing it afterall I enjoy living and I would like to keep my brain where it belongs, inside my head.
