for one, i probably wasn't online. i'm ususally busy during the hours that i mentioned. for two, i'm not really one to quickhammer people without warning. we had a lot of time left in the day and i wanted to see what guilty would say.

are you going somewhere with this that you'd like to explain?

i'd just do it, honestly. gl's already posted a "last thoughts before hammer" post and i can clearly see that strange things start to happen when the people here get restless. there's not a lot left to gain by waiting, and there's nothing for gl to claim, presumably.

It'll be interesting to see who actually gets murdered because we've been going on the assumption that it's Aristo?

Also I didn't so much vote acid to see how people would react so much as knowing 2 votes on acid would actually get everyone to come in and post and maybe finally vote so we don't do anything stupid lmao.

I'M SO EXCITED FOR THE FLIP

Vote Count 3-4

In the 1920s, Henry Ford had grown sick of a lot of things, but most of all he was sick and tired of having to fill Ford Motor Company's tire needs by paying into the British rubber monopoly. So he did what any other reasonable businessman would do when faced with the rising costs of raw materials:

He had an entire city built in the middle of the Amazon Rainforest. That's right. Fordlandia. The goal was to put out a staggering eight million tires annually, while simultaneously improving the Brazilian workers' way of life. Ford offered to pay his Fordlandia workforce up to 75% more than other East Indies plantations were paying, as well as provide them with free housing, food and medical care. And as an added bonus he threw in a community pool, shops, restaurants and even a golf course. Unfortunately, Ford also implemented a strictly enforced Midwestern style of living. This extended to every aspect of life, even down to diet: Ford's workers were fed an unfamiliar and inevitably gut-wrenching diet (like hamburgers, which were alien to them and could not be digested comfortably.) There were also mandatory awkward social events like western dances and poetry readings, as well as a 9 to 5 workday - which is fine when you don't live in the tropics. But in Brazil, that translates to toiling under the hot, tropical sun during the hottest part of the day. All of this culture shock resulted in low morale, a high turnover rate and eventually, riots.

But, he got out from under the British rubber monopoly, right?

Wrong. Fordlandia produced precisely zero tires.

Sometimes you have to break a few eggs to build your utopia. Bond Villian Karl Stromberg knew this. In
The Spy Who Loved Me
, he planned to force the US and USSR into a nuclear war. He would rebuild civilization to his own liking by repopulating the world from his undersea city, Atlantis.

The

wins!


Congratulations and thanks for playing!
