    :: I.e., let's not suddenly turn a measurement into an evaluation as to provide a straw-man for your pithy retort. A measurement cannot evaluate outside of a given criteria or its context, and this interaction would be among people with shared interests and responsibilities, not strangers.
    First, people in DF are strangers who have been randomly positioned together in a specific setting. It's not so different than running into random people at a store; where the shared interest and responsibility is to cordially conduct your business in each other's presence.

    As for the shared responsibilities in DF, those are outlined by the parameters the game has set. The games parameters are an extremely lenient 90 minutes to complete the instance. Any expectations beyond that have not been dictated by the game or by the situation; so those expectations don't translate to a responsibility anyone in that situation has to you or anyone else.

    A team of models isn't as analogous because their parameters for success are probably far less lenient. The parameters for DF, however, are more comparable to just running into people at random in a situation where you all have very simple, similar goals.
