trial #3

[judgejudy]

DAY 6 (afternoon) Complex Population: 27 At noon, the same tone from the morning rings out, and Judy's voice filters out over the intercom. "Good afternoon, residents. As per Safety Protocol 6227-A, it is time to conduct a trial to bring justice for the victim. Please proceed to the courtroom on the first level." Just as at night, if you don't go to the courtroom, you'll be treated to an electric shock of increasing strength until you go to the courtroom or are unconscious. Though considering the ominous penalty for not participating in a trial, you should likely just go rather than risk not voting because you've been knocked out by your own stubbornness... Once you're in the courtroom, you'll find that bottled water and light snacks are provided, but otherwise you'll have to bring anything else you may need. As you come to your conclusions about who to vote for, you can step into the judgement theater to cast your vote at the terminal. You may change your vote as many times as you'd like, but at 7PM, your vote (or lack thereof) is locked in. You have until 7PM to discuss and vote for who you think the murderer is. — ic rulebook character statuses character profiles Voting will close at 9PM EST on 10/22. voting

It was self-defense. How many people here are letting Bigby off for killing someone for the same reason?

Luke didn't want to do it but what would you do in that situation? Where only one of you can get out alive? I'd never blame him for something like that.

[grimdeity]

Different circumstances, completely. Or are you suggesting Lara specifically aimed to get Luke in the gladiator chamber with her so as to have a go at him?

While the votes are also responsible for what happened in that situation, I wouldn't say he is blameless, either. What would I do? Perhaps the same. Does not change that he actually did it, however. Knowingly, and with the intent to escape the-- however twisted and disgusting-- punishment for being staff.

[antietam]

With the intent to escape or just the natural human instinct to survive. Like was a fighter, he only knew how to keep himself alive.

Did you watch him? He didn't want to kill Lara. He genuinely liked her.

[grimdeity]

It would appear he didn't even know that much. Or Elizabeth knew more.

Not enough, it seems. Tell me, do you think he would have left you alive had it been you in there instead of Lara?

[antietam]

I don't know. I don't know what I would have done in that situation. Is that something I can hold against him? Obviously not.
