Psycho gives you the two options. The group of people you don't choose will die.

The options are

A) The single closest person to you, may it be a friend, family, significant other, pet, etc gets to live
B) A group of 10 random innocent strangers get to live

The conditions are that
1) There are no other options than those two. Doing neither results in the death of both.
2) The Psycho will have to carry through with whichever decision. He will not turn around and kill both if you make the decision
3) No one will know of the decision you made. No one will find out that you made a decision. Not even the people. The people who are saved will not know they are saved unless you told them. The only person who would remember the whole scenario is you.
4) There are no outside forces available to help the decision
5) No, you can not die instead.

ThePrincesTale picked Save 10 Innocent 랜덤 People:
I had a lot of trouble with this at first. But I think this option is the right one.

Saving your closest person is the selfish choice. It is putting your relationship with that person above 9 other people's lives (with the deaths of your closest person and one of the innocents "cancelling out"). Think: what decision would you be more comfortable with going into the future? Yes, you'd have your closest friend/family member, but it would be tainted with the knowledge that nine people had to die for it. It would be torturous. In contrast, with this option, you'd grieve for your person, but you'd rest easy knowing that you saved innocent lives. It'd be easiest in the long-term.

@PrincessTale TBH thats why I made this question. Its pretty similar to the "Run into the house to save your mom or your s/o" but it added more of a personal/non-personal twist to it and I wanted to add a bit more scenario conditions as to remove all the people that would try to over complicate it and balance it out for the people that would be like "My closest person would have too much guilt knowing their life was saved at the expense of 10 other people" which would be what would turn me over to the "Save 10 Innocent People" too.

I personally just think I could live with the guilt really easily, especially if I have the closest person to me because honestly I could probably forget about it for the most part, or at worst shove it to the back of my head because they are random people I never really knew. Maybe if they were like "10 Innocent Acquaintances" or even "10 Innocent People you may have had a 5 minute conversation with", but since I never really knew them, I don't think it would bother me a huge amount

Honestly though I figured it was a better, harder, version of the burning house question since it doesnt have those people that "I had a bad relationship with so and soooo..." and put better options so I wanted to see what others had to say XD ((I mean there are still the people that can be like "I dont have anyone close to me" which I kinda feel bad for))

I also suppose this differs from person to person with how close they are to the closest person.

It was fairly tough for me too XD

ThePrincesTale picked Save 10 Innocent 랜덤 People:
It's a good question. Nice set of conditions to make it a true moral quandary >:)

That's true, they're completely random. But I'm still not sure I could shove away the guilt (if it was guaranteed I could, I'd probably choose the other option). Potentially, every time I looked at closest friend/family member, it could be like "you're here because 9 innocent people are not".

Interesting, interesting.

I was actually going to put 20 Innocent Random People but felt that would put a little more balance to the Saving Random People XD

This is a very hard question. But my grandmother is the person who I would die for. It's really hard for me to imagine things without her. This is a problem because she is getting older and I just hate thinking about that. But I digress, as much as I'd love to save 10 other people, I just wouldn't be able to live with myself if I let something happen to her.

Quite the dilemma.... Sacrificing the people close to me (the very FEW people), that actually supported me and helped me get on my feet would be a slap to their face so there's no way I could have chosen otherwise. Of course that doesn't justify the killing of 10 innocent people as random as they might be...... I don't think it would be possible to shove it on the back of my mind or just forget...... The guilt of this decision is a stain that it will not go away. At least, I would have wanted to learn the identities of these random people so I could try to repent by giving the best of support I can to their close ones. Not that I would ever feel satisfied with just that of course. Anyway, I will stand by this option !!!!

It's really a hard question...I personally would save my family first, but letting 10 innocent peoples are quite selfish.

legend_of_roxas picked Save 10 Innocent 랜덤 People:
It's such a hard choice, but I don't think I could just let 10 people die just to save one person that's close to me. There's no doubt that I would miss that one person greatly, but the ten other people probably have families and people who love them, too. It just wouldn't be right to take those people away from them by choosing to selfishly save one person. The guilt would eat me alive.
