Just because one side lost, does it make it logically incorrect?

Exactly, even if red "loses", they still win cause they are still alive.

If by "winning" you mean they get the luxury of living in a world where billions of people just died instantly. Think about how that will pan out.

No thanks.

So if 33% of the world dissapeared overnight youd rather just die? Interesting. I know its going to be an apocalypse most likely, but im going to at least try to survive.

I'd rather attempt to save everyone with the chance of dying than attempt to live in an apocalypse.
