[Oh hey, look, it's a (fairly) new kid on the network. And he has a question for y'all.]

Hey, everyone. My name's Alvin Draper and I'm pretty new here, so I apologize if this is a question that's been asked before, but it seemed ... relevant, given some of the more recent discussions here.

[I.e., that whole "should we kill Delight" poll, which Tim is still actively side-eyeing the hell out of everyone here over. Except Lance. Lance is the only sane person here and has the correct opinion on murder.]

I'm just curious - [because he wants to know exactly what kinds of psychos he's landed with] - under what circumstances do you believe it's acceptable to kill someone, and why do you believe that?

From someone who'll kill? Sometimes the final answer is the best one.

[justmath]

No. Killing is never the best answer.

Voice

[knifecollecting]

Yeah? What do you think should be done?

Voice

[justmath]

There are plenty of ways to disarm an opponent that aren't lethal. You could start there.

Voice

[knifecollecting]

You can't disarm someone when they're the weapon.

Voice

[justmath]

What, like they're a highly trained assassin?

[He's dealt with that type before. No big deal.]

Voice

[knifecollecting]

Like they're a killing machine who only wants human flesh.

Voice

[justmath]

... When you say machine, are you being metaphorical or talking about an actual machine?

Voice

[knifecollecting]

It's a metaphor.
