I'm still angered IM's last thread said "The first prize winner gets ALL OF THE MONEY from all the participants' entry fee total (easily becoming a billionaire because of large player pool and the fact that many corporate-sponsored big names and career players are in)"

$10 million isn't 'easily becoming a billionaire,' and I'm upset at the lack of consistency between threads.


It was changed because a poll with donations to her from 0 to 10 million is more manageable than with billions (which is way larger with more spectrum)

Also, it doesn’t change the overall spirit of the ethical dilemma

It’s still a massive total prize

2 completely broken legs, 1 unusable arm... probably a lot of therapy too before she can function again

I have no idea what numbers would be. But think of it as close to no government help like what the USA had before Obama in most states. Leblanc has close to no insurance.

How much would you say?

Mate I don't even know the cost of my last physical, I really don't know how much all her injures and rehabilitation would cost.


So could her entire treatment actually cost millions without government help?

I am very very impressed and touched by the high compassion levels of some of those on the poll.

Some would even give all winnings to her because they realize the harm and hurt that she’s going through, I am very touched

Exactly why you don't sleep with her. As for why she would agree to the scheme?

Because she needs money for medical care. I have some starter money to cover that. She gets money to cover her medical expenses and we split the publicity money fifty fifty.

It's a no brainier win-win.


If you have her consent, It is technically possible to still sleep with once she has recovered but you have to be delicate because of injuries

Also, understand that she can’t move that much

44% said they'd give her nothing and 4% are saying they'd give her an amount of money that's just insulting. That and there's a few of us wheeling her around against her will to use a living martyr for a revolution.

Against her will comrade? The very last words she ever uttered before she tragicly lost the ability to speak were words of vengence against those who had wronged her. I don't think we can interperet that as anything but a call to dismantle the rotten system that gave rise to her unfortunate accident.

Now give me a hand with this IV stand...
As an editor I seam to spend an awful lot of thyme going threw issues and checking that they're no oblivious errars. Its a tough job but someone's got too do it!

We should dress her in rags too, that'd be more effective at incensing the rage of the masses and spurring them to action.

I’m surprised there isn’t more sympathy for maimed people... :(

Also, if you use her for the Revolution it could be traced back to you :(

Is 10 million enough to finance an effective war?

This kind of implies that I'd feel bad about winning.

She made the wrong move, simple as that. Shouldn't call a bet you can't cash.

I take my $10 million and do something fun, like buy a private island to live the rest of my days on or something.

I don't think I ever got an answer here actually. Are we to assume that we literally are the person in the hypothetical, or are we ourselves who have suddenly found themselves thrust into the body of this hypothetical person?
Are we them? Are we us? Both? Neither? What?

OP edited in response to a telegram. Leblanc will simply be stated as having no health coverage whatsoever and the lack of universal healthcare will be Europe-wide.

You are You.

You've done the things stated in the premises of the OP, but you've always thought as you except where specifically stated to be otherwise.

Probably cover medical expenses and give her 50 thousand to live off.


so how much would you have given her if she did not act like "a complete twat"?

I'm not me if I've done those things though. Who I am is the culmination of my memories and experiences, If I have difference or additional memories and experiences, I am no longer the same person.

You did those things and thought/wanted certain things (as specified in the op) but with a generally minimalist interpretation to fit your own personality

So for example, if you’re not a killer and have a solid no kill rule irl... then you want to win this cut throat sport but with those restrictions (and you made it this through skill alone). And your decision to attack was an impulsive unexpected “lapse in judgments”

Does that make sense?

I mean, she’s definitely not going to be treated in the UK so...

Tbh I don’t know what the details of the UK are

Is Somali currency worth very little?

It sounds like you're saying that I am me, but I've done things that I wouldn't do. So how am I to determine what I would do if it's already established that I would do things I wouldn't typically?

She won't know that until I am far away, as it will take her a while to find a currency converter online that converts Somali Shillings to US$...

Keep in mind that I am willing to dress her in rags to incite rebellion, so I doubt that I really care:

The French have generally greater awareness of African issues than Americans/Canadians

She’ll immediately know something off when you’re donating in Somalian currency
