ANGEL GAME 1: GROUP A

[hot_mess_express]

[You enter the tent to find yourself in what appears to be a conference room in the sky. The walls and ceiling consist of a glass dome, outside of which a raging thunderstorm can be seen. If you approach the wall, you’ll find the room seems to be floating. Down below is a forest, but it’s raining so hard that it’s impossible to make out any details.

The inside of the room has only a large, circular table. In the center is open space, and around the outer edge are high-backed chairs. In front of each chair is a paper with a copy of the rules -- when everyone sits, the game will begin.

In Group A is: ginger, thyme, & licorice.]

It matters exactly as much as the monster's situation did.

[ewestmarch]

No, no. The monster was born a monster, this man - made a choice.

He had to know whatever he did could have resulted in his victim's death. If he didn't, he's a fool.

[bowtiedbones]

The monster was a suspect of murder. He is a suspect of murder. They should both be treated fairly, whether or not one is more pitiable than the other.

[ewestmarch]

But we know this one did it.

I'm in favor of executing someone that did it. I think that's fair.

[bowtiedbones]

Is it fair if it was an accident? We don't know if it was an accident or not, it explicitly said that. Would you kill someone for being a fool? And we barely know anything, just that someone died. Did the other guy die on scene? Was he stabbed or did he hit his head in a scuffle? Did he die of wounds later? If the injuries had been treated and he recovered, would the suspect still be executed for those?

I don't like the full pardon, since that doesn't fix anything either, but I don't support the death sentence in general, and especially not when this scenario presents it as a vengeful sentencing rather than to contain malice. I would rather give him an extended sentence with the eventual option of parole.

[don't support it in general

parole?

extended sentence.

This has gotta be a vastly different justice system than one Emilia's used to, where it's Hang Him or The Dungeon.]

Just put him in the stockade or something?... Maybe if it was just the theft.

[bowtiedbones]

Is the stockade like prison or like... the stocks?

[ewestmarch]

It's a more permanent prison than a dungeon, has to be built special. For someone you want to keep in there for decades, I guess.

If you've done something that bad it's ... really easier just to kill you, which is why you don't get caught.
