Interesting question.

Maybe we can break out of it by giving who ever is taking accountability if that thing goes wrong a tie breaker vote, or have their votes weigh a bit more?

(kidding)

find a 4th player or create a game to find/build/grow an independent one within the constraints of the system. make sure it's 'fair enough' as in "no sabotage".
