[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?

The ones who spoke up, maybe. [She won't mention that liars can seem like a lot of things.] But if anyone doesn't want to advertise their opinion, all they have to do is stay out of the conversation.

Well, people staying out of the conversation doesn't seem to be a problem I'm experiencing. [He laughs.] Don't worry, I'm not as naive as people seem to think I am. I know how lying works.

[storyseeker]

Fair enough. [She laughs.] So, are you getting anything worthwhile out of people's answers?

voice;

[justmath]

Yeah ... it seems like the general consensus is "murder is probably OK, if it fits the conditions I've decided are acceptable."

voice;

[storyseeker]

Yeah. That's a sadly common belief.

[justmath]

Not one you share?

[From the sound of it. Still - best not to assume.]

I'm not a pacifist. In a dangerous situation, I'll do what I have to. But I'd rather not have to. I don't want an excuse.
