The jerk would have been run over in seconds.
Let us go home and blow dust off our chests and call them out to duels.
Let's see who is true men and who are not. Those too afraid, will be strung up.
Now the commoners have mobile devices? Truly the class of Good Men do the commoners too much favour!
Noo, no! Let us all be merry, good fellows! No need for bloodshed! Let us decide in a lynch. After all, it is a proper and most democratic process!

I laugh at your petty, broken liberal 'Democracy'! We shall rise in revolt and tear down the walls you have built around us.
WORKERS OF THE WORLD UNITE! YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE BUT YOUR CHAINS!

I don't know about you, sir, but I like my chains. Makes me feel wanted.
Bah! You have been brainwashed by petty bourgeois ideas of class. Can't you see that class is the new feudal system? All we have done is replace the old elites with all new elites!
Just as the bourgeois rose against their oppressors, so too must we rise against ours!

Hear the derision in his voice? Hear the contempt he holds us in? This is what I am saying - they see themselves as better than ourselves simply because they have been born into wealth and privilege!
Loans? Why should we have to pay back loans? It's our money, you stole it from us, then give it back and demand us to repay it + an insane interest on it.
Ha, these Jerks are nothing more than filthy thieves!

Loans? And what shall happen if we do not repay those loans? Without the profits you gain from oppressing humanity, you shall be unable to buy food and you shall starve. We, on the other hand, already know how to work the land and to survive with nothing more than the sweat of our own brow. You had best treat us with some respect, else you shall be the ones reaping the whirlwind!

Comrade CountArach:
How long before "The Settlement" thread ends up in the backroom?
askthepizzaguy:
I am not sure.
CountArach:
I'm just saying stuff I believe :/
askthepizzaguy:
I'm one of those rare "work ethic" mud peasants. I am a snivelling, grovelling, sycophantic, spineless coward who loves being a slave. I felt they needed a representative voice.
CountArach:
Betrayer of the revolution. *shakes head*
askthepizzaguy:
Meh. My master suits me well. He has unusually clean feet.
CountArach:
ahhh, what about his backside? Clean from all teh kissing i presume?
askthepizzaguy:
Dare I presume to kiss his divine bottom? I dare not. I must be invited.
CountArach:
bah! You are a free and equal human!
askthepizzaguy:
equal to what?
CountArach:
you can kiss whomsoever's haselnut you wish whenever it conveniences you; other humans, your master.
askthepizzaguy:
lol silly CountArach, freedom is for liberals. I'm a serf. I owe everything to my Lord and master. It's tradition.
CountArach:
He owes you everything he has in this world! You do the work and he grows rich off the exploitation of your labour!
askthepizzaguy:
Mmm... and doesn't it feel nice to do something beneficial to someone else? Gives me that happy feeling inside
CountArach:
And you may do so. work towards the greater good of humanity! Of your family! Of your comrades! Arise! Arise!
askthepizzaguy:
I'm afraid I don't have a family
CountArach:
So now you are sexually repressed as well?
askthepizzaguy:
the Masters decided my wife was attractive, and they took her.
CountArach:
oh the things Capitalism has stolen from you!
askthepizzaguy:
She lives in a much nicer place now, in the castle. Far better than I could ever provide. Pity I was born a man, or I'd wish to be part of Reenk Roink's harem as well.

What about the dirt? I might lose that. I grew fond of it you know.
Actually, it was my money. I lent it to you, and now, since you are violently threatening to overthrow a system that rewards initiative and savvy, it is time to return it.
Fine, I declare bankruptcy. Feel free to sell off my dirt and filth, as they are yours in satisfaction of my debts. I shall just walk over to this nice field over here and build a new hovel out of dung.
What is the bankrupcy law that you speak of? As you are no doubt aware ,allthough as a poor man your understanding of legal intricacies will be limited, the law is that any man in debt who cannot pay is forced into servitude men ATPG do your masters bidding arreast that man and put him in chains Yoyoma what is it that you wish for him to do?
See how our noble fellow peasant TinCow is being repressed! You see that?
Away with these Jerks! Away with them I say. Ha, they give a loan and then raise taxes to unreasonable hights so that poor TinCow can no longer pay his debts and then they force him into slavery!
Let the story of poor TinCow be an inspiration for our revolution!
I am merely a businessman, I have nothing to do with the level of taxes. They are a burden we all share. If you do not enjoy your tax burden take it up with the government, not me. I am simply the man you borrowed money from in order to make adjustments to your hovel. And judging from the giant satellite dish sticking out of that pile of mud over there, I can see where you put the money.
You could have invested this capitol in something more profitable, and enjoyed it's fruits at a future date, instead you chose the route of instant gratification. Education, business, crops, stocks. No...
Well, now you shall reap what thou hast sewn.
*pulls out a bright pink scandalous garment*
Thanks to the lenient... entertainment laws in this land, there is a new job for you... on the corner of 42nd and Lafitte.

O'ight then, sir! Do you want me to put him on a raft and float 'im across the pond? E's all talk and no trousers, 'e is! I don't want to sound like a barrack-room lawyer, but it's not all beer and skittles mate. You all need to quit washing your dirty laundry in public, it's dull as ditchwater. I don't want to sound like a fifth columnist but don't get your knickers in a twist, I'll give it some stick in a tick, but arresting him might go down like a lead balloon, or like a cup of cold sick. It could go all pear-shaped and he could go spare on me, he's hairy at the heel! I might be in a sticky wicket but I'll keep a stiff upper lip. Who wears the trousers here? It's certainly not me, but if you get a dog, you shouldn't bark yourself.
You're under arrest, mister TinCow! Please don't hurt me.
You've not heard the last of me! You think you can oppress me and get away with it?! I'll get you! Oh yes, I'll have my revenge. I'll murder the English language! I'll massacre your fallacious arguments! I'll butcher the notion that us regular men are lesser people! Blood will run through the streets in a metaphorical sense. You shall all perish, eventually due to old age or other normal disease processes. I will kill you all with my bare hands and frame others for the deeds, in my dreams. I will recruit others to help me in this process and together we shall destroy all who oppose us by issuing well worded talking-points in pamphlet form. I am a mafioso and I am going to win by killing all the townies in a game I am playing with my friends in my spare time.
Muahahaha, the game hasn't even started and 150 posts. I am coming for you Godfather 3!
Just a couple of informational things on your battle ratings:
Their influence goes beyond just the duels.
As a comparison, my battle rating would be 7. I am one of the greatest warriors on the earth.
Also the game should be starting sometime in the next few hours. Those who have already gotten their PM's can send me their night orders already.
I'll let the first night period last a bit longer so that the last people to get their roles can figure out what is going on. PM with role specific questions if you have any.
Oh and a story with a picture is also coming to kick things off!
