Creating long complex narratives can prevent getting to the heart of the question.
And telling thread-visitors they've done something they'd never do (especially something morally abhorrent) can make it impossible to engage.
the scenario necessitates that you are in for life imprisonment without possibility of parole though
I am not in jail. I am watching a little digital war criminal, who is in jail, and not caring what happens to them.
If the little digital war criminal gets stabbed in jail, I'll shrug and play a different video game -- one with a more identifiable character. If he goes crazy in solitary, I'll go and read a book.
That's what I mean when I say that asking thread visitors to imagine they did something morally abhorrent prevents engagement.
