Le Champion

[The Free Joy State]

People of France come here the story of LeBlanc, cruelly destroyed by the horrible system we now toil under!
"Didn't you push her?"
Many stories are told to discredit the revolution!

"Why don't we ask her?"

"Unfortunately she passed away in her sleep a short time after I left her hospital room. Her last words spoke of vengeance against those who wronged her so terribly, so take up arms and bring down this monstrous system once and for all!"

No, she is of more value to the glorious revolution alive!

That is why I planned to pay all her medical bills, as long as I could use the her in promotional materials. Maybe wheel her around a few rallies where -- due to unfortunately heavy sedation -- she'd be unable to give any speeches (she seems likely to remind people that... you know, my character let her fall), but my character would be able to do all the talking:

"People of France, look at this woman! Look at what this corrupt country has done to her! If Leblanc could only talk, she would urge you to rise up against our oppressors, against the people whose system perpetuates these heinous crimes!"

"People of France, look at this woman! Look at what this corrupt country has done to her! If Leblanc could only talk, she would urge you to rise up against our oppressors, against the people whose system perpetuates these heinous crimes!"

"Didn't she just mouth 'kill me, end my suffering?'"

"Nah, that's just involuntary muscle spasms. Get the sedatives!"

She's getting rebellious. We need to purge her from the revolution and find a better martyr. Someone likeable and nice who doesn't want us dead.

I’m 90% sure that we aren’t in France

Now 100% sure.

As I said before, my character has already been established as a selfish prick, so I can't exactly deviate from that. She made her choice. She knew the risks. She brought this on herself, so she gets nothing. Additionally, I would sue the organizers for the full 2 billion dollars and then some, even if it means the French taxpayer has to foot the bill. Boo hoo.

the game is hosted internationally and by five cities/governments (I think it was Italy, Turkey, Austria, and Germany)

Leblanc just happens to be French

All revolutions must start in France. Tis the rules.

"Did you see 'end my suffering'? I saw 'Down with the oppressors'! You have to admire Leblanc's revolutionary spirit." (whispers) "Get the sedatives."

Her being French was confusing. Where in the thread did I read that this was a dystopic future version of France? Maybe it was another player...

EDIT: This storyline being in France was kind of implied by the OP:

1. After losing 2/3 of her wealth and the rest of the liabilities, play out, Leblanc is in fact in serious financial trouble. She cannot even afford the expensive healthcare treatment that she's undergoing right now (free healthcare was abolished in France some years ago).

[Thermodolia]

All revolutions must start in France. Tis the rules.

Unless they start in the US

[Heloin]

All revolutions must start in France. Tis the rules.

Unless they start in the US

That sounds like some anti-revolutionary thinking right there.

[Alvecia]

All revolutions must start in France. Tis the rules.

Unless they start in the US

The French will join in anyway.

[Caracasus]

Look, I'm not carting her all over the place. We'll do the revolution in france for now.

[Ifreann]

Look, I'm not carting her all over the place. We'll do the revolution in france for now.

Step 1: Revolution
Step 2: Export the revolution

Step 3: Export more revolutions.

[Ifreann]

Step 3: Export more revolutions.

It's revolutions all the way down.

[Caracasus]

Step 3: Export more revolutions.

It's revolutions all the way down.

And up. And sideways.

And all this could have been avoided if the various governments of the world hadn't had a massive simeltanious brainfart and allowed human gladiatorial combat.

You become the Champion and pocket your 2 billion dollars. Unfortunately, after a whole bunch of taxes, surprise twister regulations, and a lot of corruption on the part of the judges, you only pocket 10 million dollars. As per the customs of the games, the law does not come after you for the "attempted murder."

Quite disappointed, IM, since your last thread stated the winner of these competitions "easily becom[es] a billionaire because of large player pool and the fact that many corporate-sponsored big names and career players are in." 10 million dollars doesn't sound like billionaire territory and I feel like you've lied to me again here.

1. After losing 2/3 of her wealth and the rest of the liabilities, play out, Leblanc is in fact in serious financial trouble. She cannot even afford the expensive healthcare treatment that she's undergoing right now (free healthcare was abolished in France some years ago).

2. The sister then says you should consider giving Leblanc some of the prize money to help her out. Its completely unfair that the runner-up to Champion gets absolutely nothing. "You don't need the entire 10 million, you already get the glory of being the Champion." Why not give her a few millions to help her lick her wounds? "She's going to spend the rest of her life without the use of her legs and with only one hand."

Absolutely no fucking way, sorry that Leblanc went an did something stupid and caused herself to get hurt. She had the chance to stop and knew what she was doing. Firstly, she's lucky to be alive and secondly, I'm hardly the billionaire I was promised I would be after winning this competition so there is no way I'm giving up any of my winnings.

[Kannap]

Look, I'm not carting her all over the place. We'll do the revolution in france for now.

Best part is you don't even really need to spend your money, the French are just waiting for any reason to revolt.

[Caracasus]

Quick question as my French is rusty as fuck, but wouldn't it be Les Champion?

[Sicaris]

I’m 90% sure that we aren’t in France

All revolutions must start in France. Tis the rules.

But...what about the American Revolution....

[Caracasus]

All revolutions must start in France. Tis the rules.

But...what about the American Revolution....

Eh. France's was cooler.

[Alvecia]

All revolutions must start in France. Tis the rules.

But...what about the American Revolution....

A clever ruse, but actually still just a French revolution

[Ifreann]

All revolutions must start in France. Tis the rules.

But...what about the American Revolution....

Started in France. True fact.

[Caracasus]

But...what about the American Revolution....

Started in France. True fact.

You can tell because they were fighting the English. Dead giveaway.

[Heloin]

All revolutions must start in France. Tis the rules.

But...what about the American Revolution....

And the peace that ended the war? The Peace of Paris. America is France confirmed.

[Caracasus]

But...what about the American Revolution....

On the plus side, Americans are gonna find out what actual real cheese should be like.

[Kannap]

And the peace that ended the war? The Peace of Paris. America is France confirmed.

Then we were practically given the Louisiana "Purchase," further proof of our favor with France.
