Marry Kill Date: The Professions Edition

[Infected Mushroom]

Please consider the following hypothetical:

Consider three hypothetical individuals. They are all very attractive but you know little about them. One is a lawyer, one a doctor, one a teacher. All three have been in said profession for 7 years.

The lawyer is a trial lawyer specializing in commercial litigation. Their income is high.
The doctor is a cardiovascular surgeon. Their income is high.
The teacher is a primary school English literature teacher at a public school. Their income level is medium to low.

You must marry one. Kill one. Date one.

If you marry, it is an exclusive marriage and you must stay married for at least five whole years while trying your best to preserve the marriage.

Try to consider the impact that a person’s day-to-day work has on their character. Justify your decision.

I would marry the doctor, date the teacher, and kill the lawyer.

You don’t want to marry someone whose job is to be adversarial and combative with words; if you ever have to divorce then they’re going to use the cold-blooded passive-aggressive calculated tools of their trade against you. I choose the doctor because there is more money and also because they save lives.

Why would I want to kill any of them Single life it is then

[The Huskar Social Union]

So.... ive to murder a woman i know nothing about (which is horrible), ive to marry a woman i know nothing about for minimum five years (which sounds like a recipe for a possibly toxic and bitter five year relationship) and date someone that i know nothing about (this one is actually okay because thats how a lot of dating works anyway)

Surprised you didnt throw a witch queen into this one.

Ah I see the issue. Hmmmmm well it was designed to be a “choose the least bad of the bad options” hypothetical. But I can see how it might not prove appealing.

I mean strictly speaking, I don’t want to be married either. Marriage is a horror show.

[Ifreann]

If the marriage has to be exclusive then how will I date the other person?

[Infected Mushroom]

If the marriage has to be exclusive then how will I date the other person?

I think it’s intended to be date first, then marry?

Sounds time consuming.

[Infected Mushroom]

Sone great issues have been raised. I’ll think about it, maybe make a few tactical edits to change the incentives a bit. Any suggestions?

I think you have an idea what the intended trade offs are supposed to be.

Marry the medic, date the lawyer, kill the teacher.

The medic has the money
You are going to need the lawyer when the medic finds out you are dating someone while married.
Kill the teacher.

Kill the teacher.

Gonna need a lawyer for that murder charge as well.

[The Blaatschapen]

You can love a rich woman just as much as a poor woman.

So date the teacher, marry the doctor.

And kill the lawyer so that the doctor can't hire her for the divorce settlement.

Good thinking, thanks.

[Dogmeat]

No one is going to marry you after they find out you killed someone because you felt compelled to kill 1 of 3 people based on their occupation and income.

That's psychotic serial killer behavior,

This is all happening in IMland, such things are just a part of life. What you all don't realize is that the doctor lawyer and teacher have the same question before them with two other people.

This is just another overly complicated post in your quest to mention in as many ways as possible that you hate lawyers isn’t it?

IM hates lawyers because defense lawyers exist and they keep people out of prison which is bad apparently

On Cardassia, the verdict is always known before the trial begins, and it's always the same.

The three professions have the same choice with you and two other people. So be sure to kill the one that would choose to kill you

On that basis I'm going to marry the teacher and date the doctor and kill the lawyer. The doctor is bound by the Hippocratic oath so is the least threatening, and the lawyer is the most like to get away with murder. Marrying the teacher lets me keep the last threat close. and ensures that she won't be able to marry someone else who might be able to afford a legal defense if she kills me.

[Adamede]

If the prerequisite for me getting into relationships is that I have to kill someone I'll continue being single.

Also whats the point of having the date option if I have to be faithful in the marriage category? That's and I've experienced enough failed marriages that have fucked me over to know that's not winning choice.

Marry the lawyer, date the doctor, kill the teacher.

Money, leftovers, dislike current teaching trends.

Kill the lawyer, date the teacher, marry the doctor, I don’t understand how this is a dilemma.

Expanding on this having read that the doctor is also high income, my answer hasn't changed. I'd get along with a literary mind easier than a scientific one.

Plus I could get the lawyer to read Pact easier than the Doctor. Though the Doctor might enjoy Twig...
