I'd prefer 'a chance that Phoenix will be the only ones sacrificed' over 'a chance that everyone is sacrificed,' if we can come up with a scenario. Though I have... some other motives to want us safe, beyond mere self-preservation, so a rigged game is still better, as long as we can conceal it.
Either way, ff we can get even two other groups to agree, it should be workable.
Agreed - having everyone lose is the worst outcome. Best case is we have a team volunteer - unlikely.
Another way that may ease the potential guilt is to have an agreement to a game of chance, with the loser being the one who will not get protected, but that would require every team to agree to that and be willing to abide by the results.
...I hate to deceive, just if we must - we can't make promises we have no intentions of keeping.
No, it doesn't need to be everyone in agreement. That's why I said we only need two other teams. More would be more reassuring in a way, since everyone's chance of being chosen would feel slimmer, but as long as there's a loser, there's still one guaranteed unprotected group. The groups not involved in the wager would simply be free to arrange protection with one another properly.
... I don't know if we'll be able to avoid deception, but at the very least, we can avoid promises. Regardless of what course we decide to take, there should be ways around that.

We have some ideas now - we need to find what will work best.

I'll start asking around tomorrow. Now isn't the time to go prying into others' business.
