It’s already a living hell for the disabled woman

No reason I can't twist the pitchfork a bit.

You mean, twist the knife?

I like to think hell is more traditional. (Satan is described as using a pitchfork to torture victims in hell)

Eh? What do you mean?

I'd give $0. I'd have been hoping that this manipulative, narcissistic freak would die when I knocked her over the edge, for all of the reasons Caracasus said. The fact that she lived through it sucks as it is.

She dared to be stupid, and neer did well.
Now she is stuck in a personal hell.

Out of its shadows Satan steps forth,
with fire and pitchfork and gleeful retort.

Her tortures shall be many, her suffering great,
her regrets unending, but now it's too late.

And as she is begging for deaths cold embrace,
upon that old demon she'll see my laughing face.

But in some instances, life may be worse than death

Wait so you’re the Satan in the poem?

Yes.

I shall endeavor to be the devil of her little slice of hell.

Also the way I see things I just scored a golden ticket. I found a sport I am good at (as evidenced by me winning the tournament) that also connects me to the criminal underground (a be it actually legal in this world) allowing me to do bad things to good people and not just get away with it but actually get pay and adoration. So I am going pro with this.

So you're basically the Beelzebub/boss from the Tenacious D song:

"I'm the devil, I can do what I want,
Whatever I got I'm gonna flaunt,
There's never been a rock off that I've ever lost"

I prefer Carrier of Evil by Blue Oyster cult.

Not a bad song at all! =)

Let's take a look at this absolutely fascinating poll from the thread.

So we've got 54% of posters (I'm combining the first two options here) taking a very hard line NO COMPENSATION/SCREW LEBLANC No Forgiveness policy. Its understandable of course.

We're got the next major block at close to 20% of posters who are, MAYBE able/willing to put aside their dislike of the duelist girl (I mean I'll give you that, I've made her a realistic and human character but not a very likeable character) and focus on formalistic compensation. Maybe these people are more focused on facts, math, and have a No Emotions Focus On the Numbers mentality. Probably a very neutral balanced group.

And they you have the Compassionate posters. The rest, less than 1/3 who will give her anywhere from 1-4 million to the entire 10 million. I'd say its extraordinarily compassionate to give more than 4 million.

...

I wonder what can be extrapolated from this. Of course, we have to be careful about statistics but it is fascinating how such an interesting distribution has been generated.

1. Humans are bastards.
2. The internet makes us anonymous and thus feel safe to express our self without hiding our true emotions.
3. It's fun to get creatively carried away with evil even if you probably wouldn't do that in real life. Probably being like a 50/50 thing. Well more like a 60 pro /40 anti or 90/10 sort of thing.

Aye Aye

Are the people who voted to give the entire prize money doing so because they feel that it would be unethical to keep any amount of it (given the nature of the game)? Is this why the 10 million is given?

It's because I had to harm her to get the money, so she should have all of it because I didn't really deserve it.

This makes sense

And I suppose in the other scenario you chose not to attack her because it would be attempted murder?

Being crippled for life is also an extraordinary painful experience =(

That's why she should have the 10 million dollars, that her life isn't entirely horrible.

I disagree. She got exactly what's coming to her after what she did.
Now, what I'd do is probably way over the top and undeserved. But he who can should and all that.

Then I'll wipe her tears off with a $100 bill.

And then burn it.

100 dollar bills are very very filthy
