The House of Origin [Concluded]

[Askthepizzaguy]

I wholeheartedly approve of allowing me to single-handedly determine the final lynch every day. Please do continue this.

I actually have no problem with continuing the theme.

Why not?

What are the odds TC is scum anyway.

Tincow, should I die tonight? You decide. I have no partner anymore and I'm asking absolutely NO-body for protection.

Decide someone else's fate! Please! This will be so fricking sweet.

I don't get it. Why would you need protection? Why bring that point up? Who was wondering about that?

Stop wondering about things and let me do my thing.

Let him...

...die.



Yes, I know the Roman thumbs down actually meant that the gladiator was allowed to live, but there aren't any decent images of that. At least not on the first page of Google image search and I'm too lazy to look further.

[GeneralHankerchief]

This might serve.

[Chaotix]

Wait, really?

How did we even get the modern thumbs-up / thumbs-down tradition if the Romans did it backwards?

[White_eyes:D]

I thought they raised it more in the middle when they wanted someone to die....or was that to live?

[Arjos]

The truth is, no one really knows for certain: there are no descriptions, nor drawings...
By its name "pollice verso", is clear the thumb is "turned", in which direction, nobody knows :P

[TinCow]

That was my understanding as well, that it was thumb down to live and thumb kind of towards the chest to die. As Arjos said though, there's plenty of debate over the matter.

[Double A]

I thought it was up to die and sideways to live. That's what it was like on Courage.

Nice.

For the record, because I have no partner, I did nothing N2.

I was obviously part of the failed kill on Ishmael N1.

If I die tonight, maybe that info will be useful, maybe it won't, I'll be too dead to really care.

Thanks for the game, gentlemens!
