122 - WHOA THERE finally addressing some flood issues

[major_west]

I've been here for nearly two years now, and while others may have seen results, I have not. It's become clear to me that no matter what course I'd have taken, the end result would have been the same: they live. My men and I die. Perhaps, if I had been a better man-- by whatever metric you wardens measure it by-- I'd have had no second chance at

Don't say that. You know that if you graduate, you can always come back here as a Warden and continue to exist. You don't need to simply give up.

[major_west]

I have no intention of becoming a jailer.

[thatlibbychick]

You know not all of us act like that, and you wouldn't be forced to if you joined us. If you think we're doing it wrong, you'd be able to avoid making the same mistakes, right?

Please, don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. If you hate this system, you can always try to make changes once you have the chance. Will it really be better to exist under someone's thumb for the rest of eternity?

[major_west]

Of course not. But I have my loyalties.

Maybe you'd have just been a warden instead? I died, and I have to agree that I'm quite attached to remaining alive...or conscious, or however you want to word it, but didn't have to end up as an inmate.

[major_west]

That's a small possibility. Nobody else worth anything from my world has.

[alzarian_youth]

Maybe they were given the choice to be wardens and didn't want to?

[major_west]

That's highly doubtful.

Private - Wow, Not trolling!

What sort of life is it, if it is only survival?

Private

[major_west]

A life. Quite preferable to no life.
