Hypothetical: A Crippled Annie

[The Two Jerseys]

Let’s be honest, if you say “you might be Witch Hitler”, you are 100% Witch Hitler.

I know, right?

This isn't even a passably "clever" twist, like finding out Te Kā is Te Fiti. It's like learning that Ursula is the bad guy. "Who would have seen that coming?!"

Hey guys, I'm not sure if this "Senator Palpatine" guy is really trustworthy...

The 18 percent combined who say Yes but will feel moderate t high resentment is what I’m really interested in

That typifies what I’m trying to get at with the thread

This really is human nature in display

Also, I like how there’s a gradient with the vote options

Nah. Loads of people are just not answering your polls until 'roll into a pond and quietly drown' is added as an option to this and all subsequent hypotheticals.

What about "Get burned at the stake for witchcraft by the Inquisition"?

[Infected Mushroom]

No. If anything, I’ll be a mascot for the Jacobins.

so then for you you don't like the Options where you accept the deal by the king because its a matter of ideology?

Thank Ifreann for that one. If I'm remembering correctly he's the one that came up with it about a year ago.

Did I? Awesome.

First use of Witch Hitler as a title appears to be this post, though it was in the midst of a discussion surrounding Hitler 2.0. Witch Hitler is a much better title than Hitler 2.0.

Annie wouldn't understand what it means though. Since in her timeline there's no Hitler yet (and there might never be since the past leading up to it is so different).

If you walked up to her and said "Hi Witch Hitler."

She would blink with her large eyes, confused.

Having coined the name, I offer NSG this wisdom.

If you meet Witch Hitler, kill her.

Can I sig this?

Yes, of course.

Fun and/or popular choices will not be provided.

As my nation tells, I've never been too great at naming things.

That's cos she is the hitler of this reality. I don't really care about the size of her eyes. Does she blink so hard that it causes her to roll into a pond?

... no?

Her motor skills/control is pretty decent

Fucking lol.

Are they that good that she avoids the great big goblin pushing her wheelchair down a slope into a pond?

All I mean is that an Annie Holstadt with her wand and the power of the Relics is able to place a curse on entire armies and burn whole cities down with magical fire

Some of this takes good motor control

She’s also said to be very fast; its unlikely she would fall into a lake

A crippled Annie though? She can’t move

[Eastern Aestorusia]

I'd do it, feeling no permanent resentment in my soul afterward.

I'd just remind myself that I didn't help anyone. No citizenry is going to pardon a tyrannic monarch if he takes the time to showcase a crippled girl. Besides, I'd have to take into account that his strategy backfires. And if it doesn't backfire, and if it is successful, to what extent is it successful? This is medieval Europe. CNN, FOX, and newspapers don't exist.

To paraphrase, I helped no one.

[Kowani]

Still more reasonable than a lot of the other posts

At least this is with a realistic understanding of the culture and the system (and you reserve the right to back out of the plan later if you end up liking the system)

Also, remember that you may or may not be Annie, it is possible the memories never return

Let’s be honest, if you say “you might be Witch Hitler”, you are 100% Witch Hitler.

I mean, IM has an awful habit of not knowing how the middle ages work. (Thinking that Medieval wars were glorious despite them being some of the most brutal and 'dishonorable' wars in human history up until the World Wars, that Medicine Existed, that Basic Gender Equality existed, that people weren't brutally killed for even the most minor of offences, etc) So...

Maybe she casts spells by blinking instead of by wiggling her nose.

So this is the perfect moment to kill Witch Hitler then?

Sneezing would be very inconvenient…

how does this relate to the hypothetical?

Well since we're Witch Hitler, wheeling ourselves into the swamp would kill Witch Hitler.

the premise of the hypothetical is that you may or may not be

this was intended to be more trivia than a central aspect of the hypothetical

you're supposed to focus on cost-benefit analysis

How would sleeping work?
