Play to win. First Tradition & Life Boom

I think this is a tricky one about play to win

First Tradition is on the table.

Player A has 1 or 2 pool

Player X has a life boom

Could player X negotiate with player A to commit suicide, paying 2 pool, so he can play his turn in exchange for being saved by the life boom?

I am not tacking in account that player X could be fooling player A. Or the chances of player A to outs his prey.

Thanks

If this referendum is successful, put this card in play. Each Methuselah must burn 2 pool during his or her unlock phase. A Methuselah can choose to skip his or her entire turn. Burn this card when the controller has either skipped 3 turns or burned a total of 6 pool by this effect.

Give pool to a Methuselah with no pool to keep them in the game, and put this card in play. During each of their unlock phases, you can steal 1 pool from that Methuselah. You gain any victory point gained by that Methuselah instead of them, until you are being ousted or until you have gained 1 victory point from this card. Burn this card after you have gained 1 victory point from this card.

Thanks. I guess a judge should judge if is a good way to maximize VPs.

And a bonus round.
Player A has only 1 pool
Choose to play his turn.
He has to pay 2 pool. He can't. He pays as much as he can (1 pool) and die.

If I give him only 1 pool. He returns to life and then die again as he has to pay the remaining point. Am I right? I should give him at least 2 pool points.
