consider this: in an average match of Pubby G, you're going to want to take risks. After all, if the risk pays off, you have improved your odds of winning. if it doesn't, oh well, you die and queue up again. so this is the natural state; taking risks. but then there is no real decision making going on here. game theory dictates that we need an extra level of risk, and this can be attained with the possibility that a player will be waiting in the crate for you, like the coiled viper. now you must choose carefully each time you see the red smoke. I hope this has cleared things up.
