"We refuse to act" sure sounds like a Golden Opportunity to me.

Yeah, it's a bit like trying to Min/Max and doing a very bad job at it. The overall motivation (Win The Game) is an issue, but the actions they are taking are no danger at all. I'm certainly glad the video exists, but his actions at the table at not a threat. If anything, the threat would be... him getting sullen or angry at the table when it doesn't work out.

Exactly. It gives the PCs an incentive to push on rather than long rest after every fight. That and very few abilities are tied to long rests. Most are stress or hope.

Plus there's a nice limit of 3 shorts before the rest needs to be a long.

In re non-action...

That's how I would treat it

I didn't. I took something else on the list for inaction: they're yielding the spotlight to an NPC. It's not a golden opportunity...

My golden opportunity moment, the Guardian leapt at the war wizard on a broom...
I said, "That sounds like a golden opportunity for a double crit..." the player agreed, so both hit each other. Simultaneously. Guarantee success for guaranteed pain.

They also decided the war wizard's dimension dooring around was a major pain...

Yup

"Give You a Golden Opportunity" is part of "when to make a move," along with "They Do Something that Would Have Consequences." You choosing to then "Spotlight an Adversary" Is the move you're doing as a result.

In the games which DH inherits some of this stuff from, the most common Golden Opportunity is when you tee up a danger and the players ignore it.
