False Dilemma

A False Dilemma is when a player confronts another with a situation, and claiming that there is only one reasonable way out, because the only other way out is worse. For example, in a 5 player game with 2 scum:
- Player A: We have to eliminate Player X.
- Player B: Why?
- Player A: Well, we either eliminate Player X, or we go to No Elimination, but if we go to No Elimination, we'll lose.
This argument is fallacious, because eliminating either Player X or going to No Elimination aren't the only possible results to the situation, and so the dilemma is false.
