Hey everyone,
Thanks for taking the time and participating, the more results we gather the better we can distinguish between participants.
I know some of you found this problem rather simplistic, not at all probable, and lacking in information needed to truly make a decision.
That was my reaction when I was first presented with this dilemma. Also I thought to myself - why is social psychology ripping off Infamous?
Social psychologists and other theoretical scientists love coming up with these scenarios to prove a point, without considering the fact that real life decision have more variables, and often a third and fourth option. That's why I salute this Norwegian high school teacher for taking a different approach to teaching ethics:

Alas, as an undergraduate I can't present a more complicated scenario, but I do hope to change my professors opinions about gamers...
thanks again guys
