Well, that was my main gripe with Kuru's argument - the suggestion that the contribution of those who died somehow didn't count towards the victory.

Surely it depends upon the player's role and the circumstances of the game? There are times at which a player should do his or her best to stay alive. But there are other times when a move likely to result in their death will be a good move.

Similarly, that depends upon role and the state of the game.

You see, the beauty of this game is that there is often no "one size fits all" strategy. A particular move may be a brilliant masterstroke, or it may spell disaster. It all depends upon circumstances. Blanket statements do not capture the dynamism and variety of the game.
