Games for Gustav #2

[Josephus]

You are a barber.
You are working in a room full of people.
You shear them and then they are led away and killed.
You do this all day, every day. A new group is brought in.
You recognize the wife and sister of a good friend.
They recognize you too, with joy in their eyes.
You embrace.
They ask you what is going to happen to them.


What do you tell them?

[Grey Fox]

No.

I'm a barber in a nazi like death camp, telling them serves no purpose.

[Admiral Yi]

I tell them to prepare themselves for death.

Unless they're going to be gassed in their sleep or something, in which case I tell them nothing.

[Camerus]

If I were knowingly a cog in a giant death machine, presumably my moral system would be radically different from what it is now.  Don't know how to answer that.

[Josephus]

Yeah. I'm not sure I'd be able to. I'd probably chicken out and if they ask me what fate awaits them I would say. "I'm just the barber. I don't know what goes on out there."

[Josquius]

Wouldn't there be guards standing around watching you?
You're as good as dead now after letting them hug you...

[Kleves]

I tell them: "You're going to get a free haircut."

[Barrister]

I tell them to prepare themselves for death.

This.  I understand the "telling them serves no purpose", but there's some chance that it does - they might be able to make their peace with their maker.

[Razgovory]

I tell them what ever the hell I want since I'm apparently a person who considers sheep good friends.

[PDH]

How stupid are they?  I mean, will they believe me when I say "if you have hot barbershop sex with me I MIGHT be able to find a way out of this for you."

[Jaron]

I tell them the sheeps is going to be SLAUGHTERED.

Heres the trick you all. Raz sorta stumbled on it too.

The actions of the "barber" and the people are unrelated. The people are there, but they aren't the ones being sent off to slaughter.

We're all victims of poor, misleading English. These games are a bit like trying to decipher Martinus' posts.

Although I did not create these games, I think you are wrong.
I think the English is, not only un-poor, but straightforward enough for Languishites to understand.

It's not a riddle. These are moral quandries; specifically relating to situations Jews found themselves in.

[Razgovory]

The word "shear" gives me the impression I'm dealing with sheep.  Sheep are a type of people.  And the idea that someone who is my friend is married to a sheep isn't far fetched.  Take Brain for example.

[Grey Fox]

It's a not a barber then, it's a shearer. Freaking misleading english.

[DontSayBanana]

I'd tell them I'm not shearing them.
