    1. @purplephish20 Did you drop the soap?

      1. @ceruleanspark Oh shut up

    2. @purplephish20 That's too bad. I'm fine, though.

    3. @purplephish20 oh, you tempt me to make horrible, offensive jokes.

        1. @purplephish20 "I'm pretty sure the worst showers in human history occurred in Europe in the 1940's, so stop whining". You can shoot me now.

          2. @rarity No, there were worst showers, with boiling oil, in many invasions.

            1. @nerthos Or liquid gold. additional badass points if the victim attacked you because of greed.

              Wednesday, 09-May-12 14:03:44 UTC from web
              1. @hakupony But who will ever be as stupid as to waste gold that way?

                Wednesday, 09-May-12 14:04:21 UTC from web
                1. @nerthos It happened. In addition, you can just throw the corpse in fire and get your gold back.

                  Wednesday, 09-May-12 14:05:14 UTC from web
                  1. @hakupony Oh well. Those guys surely had weird ways of doing their executions. I would have used pyrite. It looks the same, but it's way cheaper.

                    1. @nerthos People are pretty creative if it is about killing each other. I used to look into medieval torture and execution minutes - made me notice I was not insane but rather tame.

                      Wednesday, 09-May-12 14:08:36 UTC from web
                      1. @hakupony Yup. Still, my favourite is just to use a sword. You can get really creative, but it's cheap and efficient.

                        Wednesday, 09-May-12 14:10:05 UTC from web
                        1. @nerthos Cheap? A sword was very expensive. Stoning is very efficient since there are always crowds out for blood - and stones just lie arout.

                          Wednesday, 09-May-12 14:11:36 UTC from web
                          1. @hakupony Cheap in the way that you can kill a thousand with only one sword. Yes, stoning works, but it's messy and inneficient since it takes LOTS of stones to kill, and a good hit with a sword assures you results. You can use an axe or hoe if you don't have a sword.

                            Wednesday, 09-May-12 14:13:13 UTC from web
                            1. @nerthos If you really want to be a jerk, let the weaponsmith make the executions. If you want to harden the hot steel, human blood is excellent. So you even save money through execution instead of paying for it.

                              Wednesday, 09-May-12 14:15:58 UTC from web
                              1. @hakupony Yup. Stick the blade near the neck vertically.

                                Wednesday, 09-May-12 14:17:45 UTC from web
                                1. @nerthos Japan had an interesting way - want to test your new blade? Take this criminal.

                                  Wednesday, 09-May-12 14:19:18 UTC from web
                                  1. @hakupony Yeah, sadly they don't do it anymore. Womeday I'll try the temper thing, there's always criminals lying around. Just pour the blood into a bucked, give the organs to an hospital.

                                    Wednesday, 09-May-12 14:20:41 UTC from web

                                    3. @nerthos I'm rather happy we don't kill people arount here. Legality and illegality are social constructions in which I most often not agree - and then there is the derping of courts of law. In addition, even bad people can change.

                                      Wednesday, 09-May-12 14:26:46 UTC from web
                                      1. @hakupony Yeah, but still, there are things that are too much. If you're a thief at age 10, or you're a sadist killer, then there's no point in keeping you alive. Since slavery is illegal, those filth should be killed.

                                        Wednesday, 09-May-12 14:28:34 UTC from web
                                        1. @nerthos Maybe the child stole because it grew up with parents who did not tell them something like that was wrong. Maybe it was forced to steal. I know many people who were criminals as children and who really are awesome people today.

                                          Wednesday, 09-May-12 14:31:31 UTC from web
                                          1. @hakupony It doesn't matter. Unless the kid is retarded, he can see what's wrong and what isn't. It's a basic instinct. I hate them far more than adult criminals since laws and society protects them, and an adult usually faces you in a fight, a kid tries to run and cry instead of being honorable.

                                            Wednesday, 09-May-12 14:36:16 UTC from web
                                            1. @nerthos The idea behind modern law enforcment is to educate (or manipulate) people to obey the law. The younger you are, the higher is your potential to change...

                                              Wednesday, 09-May-12 14:40:48 UTC from web
                                              1. @hakupony Yes, but still, honor is above everything. They do not steal because they hae the skill, they steal because they know most won't shoot or beat them. But I would. And since they're physically frail, they're just choosing their own dooms.

                                                Wednesday, 09-May-12 14:44:59 UTC from web
                                                1. @nerthos Honor? That's just something I do not value at all.

                                                  Wednesday, 09-May-12 14:46:38 UTC from web
                                                  1. @hakupony Just by following an honor code society can work smoothly. Honor is the closest concept to justice.

                                                    Wednesday, 09-May-12 14:47:36 UTC from web
                                                    1. @nerthos I wouldn't say that it is alwas right to act honorable. Sometimes, you have to deceive, betray and manipulate for a greater good. The more power you have, the less your actions (including sacrifices) only affect you.

                                                      Wednesday, 09-May-12 14:52:11 UTC from web
                                                      1. @hakupony The more power you have, the more you have to adhere to a honor code. If the king has no honor, why would the peasants have any?

                                                        Wednesday, 09-May-12 14:55:26 UTC from web
                                                        1. @nerthos If you have your peasants die for no other reason that it is honorable to do so, you just fail as a king. You are a king because the peasants believe your governance will ensure their safety and wellbeing.

                                                          Wednesday, 09-May-12 14:58:35 UTC from web
                                                          1. @hakupony It is really to live happily as filth better than to suffer a bit as righteous men?

                                                            Wednesday, 09-May-12 15:00:03 UTC from web
                                                            1. @nerthos Yes - because here is no "good" and "bad". Ths is just the morale of a slave who obeys what his master tells him.

                                                              Wednesday, 09-May-12 15:01:39 UTC from web
                                                              1. @hakupony Isn't by morals that people stand up to bad management?

                                                                Wednesday, 09-May-12 15:02:59 UTC from web
            2. @nerthos way to get technical on my joke.
