Before we all head into the labyrinth, I figure we should have a level playing field for making calls about risk.

If you die here, apparently you don't stay dead. You're down for two days or so, then you resurrect wherever your body happens to be. So it's probably a nice gesture, if you see a corpse in the maze, to drag them somewhere not totally inconvenient to wake up.

The temporarily dead also come back fully healed of injuries, but the penalty is some kind of personal loss. Think scars, tattoos, a digit, possibly more intangible qualities, etc. I have no idea what the rules are on that, so if anyone has any useful speculation, consider the floor open.

In fact, if anyone is familiar with this kind of thing back in your universes, you're invited to share with the class. The more we know about resurrection in general, maybe the more we can figure out about how it works here. Bonus marks if you have first hand experience.

I'm asking how you know. How do you know it's true?

It'd be a pretty smart lie, you know? If only a few worlds can survive or whatever, then telling the other competitors that they'll come back to life would be a way to thin the herd.

Play it out, dude. People die, they don't come back, they come at you. You say "Hey, I trusted this person who told me they'd died." And then they go to that other person who can either deny they told you shit which would create tension, or they confirm that they died and came back and then you go "Oh shit, I thought that's what happened every time, but maybe it was a fluke." and neither of you suffer any long-term consequences for bullshitting.

You still can. You just gotta commit to your version of it.

Eeeeeh, I don't have a strategy. Kinda stupid the all-knowing AI had to bring us here to decide if we're worth saving. She should know already, this is just putting mice in a murder maze for fun.

if you're only playing nice bc ur being watched then how does that make you worthy or whatever? it just means you'll be a massive shit the second there's no punishment.

this whole thing's just a mind game
