Isn't it obvious? They're prevented from confessing because there isn't a game if they do. Without a confession, there's always room for that small, faintest bit of doubt that can fester and be the catalyst for even more trouble the next time around, exactly the show our mysterious pink voice has been looking for.
And if we don't play along for now, all of us, then everything is forfeit.

In this scenario, however, you would hardly be alone. I did say many, didn't I?
[ like, they can probably poll the camp during one of their regularly scheduled tuesday announcements "would you try to kill pink snake if it was an option" and every hand would go up. ]
What a thing to say about going up against what we all believe to be a single monolith of a hostile entity. What a thing to say when hardly any of us here has that kind of organization or discipline.
Still, I imagine any proper one would laugh in our faces if we claimed the title. Well, whatever- I doubt pink or snake or whatever we're calling it will care about the details.
Agreement hardly means we are unified. We could all very well agree to work together to fight against the pink entity, but imagine if we're running into friendly fire during it?

[horrible, yes - but this is exactly the sort of game they've found themselves in, and there's no changing that.]
...that pink entity is... I wish it had some sort of physical form, so I could do... something. I do not know what. Hit it, perhaps.

How long or short they make that take, on the other hand, likely varies by person.

Is that not what it is called, when multiple people band together against a common foe?

she has (puts fingers very close together, there is basically no gap) this much faith in everyone. unimpressed roomba saga continues. ]
