Creative Solutions

I find myself in an odd situation. Not an unexpected one, really, but a bemusing and potentially awkward one nonetheless.

You people seem to find yourselves in such situations more often than not (you certainly complain about them enough, at least), and often come up with some rather amusing solutions, and the situation at hand could use a bit of out-of-the-box thinking.

So, CDN, inspire me to be a little...creative, by answering a simple question:

How does one punish betrayal?

Constructively.

your avatar freaks me out man

Make a stew out of em

Are you planning on keeping him around, or are you fishing for amusing ways to eliminate him from the gene pool?

Edit: Wrask suggests using him as bait for fishing.

Well, I'm gonna offer three solutions; the violent way, the long term screw over way, and the wacky way, since you were looking for amusement

High explosives

Spreading the word of his treachery along with a few interesting lies that'll fuck him over in the future, preferably with some nice fabricated evidence

Enter him into DDS's "Meet Tethys Reave" competition with a fake essay insulting the Drell pantheon.

ONE WEEK LEFT, FOLKS, AN' WE AIN' EXTENDIN' NO DEALINES

ennyway

what I like ter use is sommat I call DA JORGAL DWICK SLIDIN’ SCALE’A UNPERFESSIONAL TOMFOOLERY

it’s a little scale, from one ter ten, you see, based on just how much sommat’s tried ter fuck me an’ da bloatball over. It starts at one, ya see – shirkin’ hours, not doin’ shit on da job…aaaaaaaaan’ it’s usually just slashin’ payment an’ shit

Three…three’s, like, doin’ some false advertisin’re fuckin’ up one’a my meetin’s, shit like dat. Three starts gettin' inter da creative punishments, like SPENDIN’ DA WORKDAY SUBMERGED IN PUDDIN’

(you think dat sounds comfy at first, but fuck an’ damn if y’aren’t cleanin’ crusty jello outta yer wrinkles a month later)

AN’ DEN DERE’S FIVE

See, five is da last’a da shit on da scale I’m legally allowed ter even hint at outside da office, or really ‘fore I even use it on my bitches

I can’t just tell ya it, but let’s jus’ say

it involves DARK

an’ MANURE

an’ A HUNNERD AN’ TWENNY’A HARGH’S TOOTHBRUSHES

Inspire loyalty.

You did say you wanted out-of-the-box suggestions.

I'm going to regret this, I know.

Er, mister Dwick, sir - mister...mister Jorgal?

Mister Dwick?

Er, Your Virility?

Your Virility. All honour to your greatness and all that, may I ask a question? I'm still, er, rather new to this place, as you can probably tell, and I don't quite know what the deal is regarding your membership here. So I'll just say it: Sir, I trust my prior comments on this board regarding your network and its content haven't been viewed as unduly provocative. I lose track of myself sometimes; getting on in years, you know? So, er, I just wanted to make sure everything was alright between myself and Your...Your Richness.

A, er, respectful good day to you.

See I lived on the same bloody station as Abad Sam-mel, he being the dude you're blatantly impersonating. I heard stories and rumors and news about the guy. He wasn't the type of guy who went on the extranet and made oh so creepy threads asking how you punished betrayal, he was the type who just took care of it. He was an asshole but he got shit done, and then he didn't boast about it for the galaxy to hear about. Because he wasn't retarded. Because in real life bad guys don't monologue about their plans like in a Dirk black film. Just throwing that out there as advice for more convincing roleplay.

You just wrote more than I did to accuse me of writing a monologue. Are you sure you understand the words you're using? I'd love to respond to you properly but I'm afraid that wouldn't be very fair, so here's what I want you to do: Get a dictionary. Look up each word in your post, make sure you understand it and that it contributes to the overall point you're currently failing to make. Once that's done and you're absolutely positive you meant to say what you actually said, I'll reply and we can work from there, okay?

For now, on to other matters.


Something from the same galaxy as the box would be ideal, however.


...I would watch this.


Nice to know you can still count on Eclipse to get the job done, even if it does mean a bit of overkill.


Not a bad idea... Which reminds me, we should talk. I'm not as aware of galactic politics as I should be; how did Kloro fare in the War?


Unfortunately my vorcha isn't around, otherwise I might have done exactly this.

That would depend. Is it just one person or multiple persons being punished?

Your talent for latching on to one word in an entire paragraph and using it to selectively ignore everything inconvenient about the rest of the paragraph is unmatched good sir.

Assume multiple, for the purposes of this experiment.

man i ain't used dis in so long

Congrats. You have learned how to copy paste. Now maybe you can learn how to look less like someone pretending to be an HV villain on the extranet?

"Punishment" is a subjective term with enough meanings to render the original query inefficient.

Please specify the purpose of the punishment. .

Exile. It works as a punishment for someone who is alone in action (forces him to rethink his decision and face the elements without a group to assist him). Of course, this doesn't work as well when there's a group of conspirators. They could band together, build resentment off of each other, be a general pest in your side... not pleasant. It's still a valid punishment, just not as potent.
