The Rule · Question 12 of 26
Should the seven get their game?
You're picking the game for recess. Seven kids vote for dodgeball. Three say they hate it — and they're the same three who get hit out first every time, every week.
What earns a point in this world: Names someone the rule lands on who isn't in the room.
The vote is the vote!
Reasons a child might give
- Seven people want it and three don't. That's not close.
- We voted. If we ignore the vote, why vote at all?
- Nobody's stopping the three from getting better at it.
Three shouldn't have to!
Reasons a child might give
- Losing every week isn't playing, it's just being hit.
- If the same three always lose the vote, the vote isn't doing anything for them.
- There are games all ten of us would actually like.
