When you and a freind are playing Russian roulette.....

Do you re-spin the chamber (not sure that's the proper name but I mean that spinny thing that houses the bullets) after each contestant has had their turn, or do you abide by rules that prohibit re-spin in order to more quickly ramp up the excitement?

I play games for fun. Blowing my brains out (or, worse, blowing SOME of my brains out) has never seemed like fun to me. Even if I wanted to play Russian roulette, I'm quite sure none of my friends would play along.

@Mamapolo2016 okay, but could not the realisation (particular if the tournament doesn't end in the first few rounds) that sommeone else is dead when it could of been you, not likely to induce such an overwhelmingly euphoria that it would make what was once "fun" seem rather dull and boring.

Sure, you'll have a dead body to ditch and maybe a little mopping up to do but you'll be so happy it won't seem like a chore at all.
@Jm31xxx I guess we have different definitions of euphoria. What if you get survivor's guilt and a hefty prison sentence instead?

@Mamapolo2016 But they shot themselves! And I can prove it because I always film my tournaments!
@Jm31xxx When you're going to explain that to detectives, please let me know. I'd like to hear the discussion.

@Mamapolo2016 explain what? Some guy shot himself in the head right in front of me. Why am I accountability for his (usually a he anyway) actions.

Look, plausibility deniability of any legal/moral responsibility is actually one of the biggest attractions of Russian Roulette. Otherwise we may as well just take shots at each other like kids playing Cowboys and Indians.
@Jm31xxx Making friends so you can watch them die (and film it to boot) is more than a little aberrant.

Terms like "reckless endangerment" and "snuff film" are likely to come up at trial. I recommend you read up on them.

@Mamapolo2016 yes I'm sure such activities would inspire a certain degree of tabloid hysteria but at the same time, there is simply no legal precedent for prosecuting someone for a what is essentially a suicide (In the UK anyway).
@Jm31xxx Well, no, not in the UK. In the US, there are precedents from as long as 70 years ago.

@Mamapolo2016 But I bet in some states it's totally cool. Like the one where you can shoot dead burglars even if they are running away.
@Jm31xxx I don't know how things work in the UK but in the US it's highly unusual for dead burglars to run away.
