I don't know much about the API, but that was my understanding as well. I just tried the game and survived. Can anyone who has had the experience of losing describe what happened?
I just played and lost, 'Bang, your Facebook account is being deleted'. In panic mode I was thinking I could cancel it, tried to remove Socialroulette from my authorized apps, but it was too late. Now, no account but I'm gonna try and reactive it and will you know how it goes
At the top it says the author is Douglas Rushkoff but the avatar in the FB screenshot (under The Story) is Jacob Appelbaum's[1].
Here are the permissions it requests[2]: "publish_stream, email, rsvp_event, publish_actions, friends_online_presence, user_online_presence, manage_notifications, manage_friendlists, create_event, ads_management, xmpp_login, read_stream, read_requests, read_mailbox, read_insights, read_friendlists, user_work_history, user_website, user_videos, user_subscriptions, user_status, user_religion_politics, user_relationship_details, user_relationships, user_questions, user_photos, user_notes, user_location, user_likes, user_interests, user_hometown, user_groups, user_education_history, user_games_activity, user_actions.video, user_actions.news, user_actions.music"
There would be no point in requesting most of those if all you were doing was publishing a message or deleting content.
As PaulMest pointed out, apps do not have access to delete most of your content.

I once read that the chance of Russian Roulette is NOT 1:6 but more like 1:600, since you play with one bullet and the weight of the bullet makes it relatively unlikely that the bullet stops next to the top position in the barrel when you spin it. Don't know if this is true but in the end, it doesn't matter for this stupid game.
Position Times
1 (barrel) 20 (0.100)
2 25 (0.125)
3 35 (0.175)
4 (bottom) 38 (0.190)
5 41 (0.205)
6 (death) 41 (0.205)

Depends on if you're re-spinning between turns. Otherwise the first guy might get a 1/600 chance, but everyone afterward has better (or worse?) than 1/6 odds.
Well, if it's the case that there's a 1/6000 chance that the first guy gets hit, it's 5999/6000 chance that the third guy gets it. (Not true, but it's gesturally correct). So I imagine the odds are much less skewed or NOBODY forgets the spin between rounds. Also, if you don't spin between rounds and you're the 6th person to try it... this isn't really a game of risk anymore.

Is it really that scary to delete your account? It's really, really easy to reactivate. When I deactivated my Facebook account it was hard to not reactivate it.
Deactivating your Facebook account is not the same thing as deleting it. Deleting is permanent (though it's delayed to prevent abuse). https://www.facebook.com/help/214376678584711 https://www.facebook.com/help/224562897555674

...If everyone played only once...
No but seriously if this goes viral, they could lose several million users. At an LTV of $75/user right now that can be between $100m-$200M. Better buy these guys for $50M. :)
Invalid API Key Well that didn't take long.
I bet they're registering a new application and secret right now, hence the invalid API key error.

There are a bunch of red flags here. It's possible this app has an ulterior motive. At the top it says the author is Douglas Rushkoff but the avatar in the FB screenshot (under The Story ) is Jacob Appelbaum's[1].
