Usually if you ask people (around here, anyway) if you can finish playing the
computer they will wait and then save you when you die.

Here's a Mortal Kombat ethics question:  IF it were 50 cents to start and 25 
to continue, what if two people both put 50 cents in and played while someone
waited in line to play the winner.  But the guy who loses argues that 
continueing only costs 25 cents because his 50 cents started the game, therefor
he should be able to continue until he doesn't want to any more.
Who should get to play?
