You didn't mention the episode or situation.

But if I'm guessing correctly which one you meant, then no.

Stan was a passive bystander. He was invited to participate, but declined. But he was not a component of the game.

A component, or maybe contributor would be a better word, can't change the outcome of the game, but if they were not present the game couldn't continue until a replacement component was found.

You are very close to a correct answer, though.
