Imagine a game that allows the player to decide when the game ends. Now imagine in addition to that, if the game also allowed the player to decide when the game begins

As an example of a game where the player’s choice of “when the game begins” is important, see Petri Purho’s “4 Minutes and 33 Seconds of Uniqueness” (though iirc the game server for it is down now.) The only choice is when to start the game (or to quit early I guess?)
