The character I was playing also was willing to let a person commit suicide in front of them so I assume that character is a bit of a hard ass.

Needlessly to say the conversation went south with her so you left with no handshake
Well I'd of just walked over to her mangled body at the bottom of the death Yu-Gi-Oh thing. and shouted "Good Game" as they carted her off, and be done with it.

Boo hoo.

but by the time the floating platform would be lowered (so you can reach ground level safely) she would already have been carted away by the ambulance you know?

I'm sure that she would insist it was "attempted murder"
personally I'd say it was assisted killing (not quite murder since murder has to be illegal) since there was no declaration of an absolute determination to die, just a willingness to (depending on your actions)
assisted suicide would be "I want to die, 100% and right now. Kill me."
That's not QUITE how it went down

Of course the person who fell off a floating platform would not call it attempted suicide. By the same merit you wouldn't go around telling people you attempted to kill or assisted in the attempted suicide of another person. This is more like someone jumping in front of my car and blaming me for it.

well, if you were driving on the way to work, and someone stood to block you. You stopped the car and yelled, "What the hell?" And they said, "Go another way. I'm standing here. If you want to go on this road you'll have to kill me."
And you ran them down.
It would clearly be killing and not assisted suicide. The law would treat it as such, but even if we removed the law from the equation, its philosophically equivalent.
The key test is, if there is Inaction, does the person die? If the final cause of death is your action, then its assisted killing.
The only exception to this is if its euthanasia, which this isn't.
you're correct in that its not murder though because that would require actual criminality (the law in the OP allows for you to kill)

I meant to say that the protagonist here would see it that way. It doesn't really matter the technical. The kind of person described for the OP to work would never consider what they've done anything more then a suicidal person jumping in front of there winning move.you're correct in that its not murder though because that would require actual criminality (the law in the OP allows for you to kill)
No.

No.
I don't think so.
The previous OP gave plenty of flexibility for you to be yourself (except for some restricted actions)
I could see a completely kind-hearted and honourable person participating in the tournament for the said reasons and making it to the finals

I'm still not giving her any money and going think of her as having a death wish.
I'm being preemptive.

Well then, the answer is simple. Donate a cool million and date the sister. You know what they say about the French...
