Hypothetical situation. Call it an intellectual exercise.

Inmates versus Wardens. No holds barred - everybody's got all their powers, their mad science, helpful voices in their heads, whatever.  Admiral's asleep or out to lunch or just doesn't care, which I'd argue is his default position anyways but my personal biases don't need to be involved here.

Who'd win?

Oh, and if you're going to get your panties in a bunch over me fostering hostility or whatever it is I'm doing, then a) imagine it's just a softball game or something and b) know that you are a total wuss.

[Private to Bruce]

Hey.

[Private to Prefect]

Another lesson tonight?

[Private to Tim]

Hey. I have a question.

Sure, I'll see you in the gym later then?

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Call it eight. I'll see you there.

What's up?

'The Incredible Hulk'. One of yours?

[the-ironman.livejournal.com]

I'm confident that wardens would win, if only because we're the more personable bunch.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Is being personable relevant to a combat situation? I must've missed the memo.

[always-thewoman.livejournal.com]

Inmates; fewer moral qualms.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

See, that would be my reasoning too. You're a smart lady.

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

Oh really?

[hulk]

Oh, um. Hello again. ...Are you feeling any better from the other day, or. Should I still be watchful of you and furniture?

[It's supposed to be a joke. ......Kinda.]

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Actually I was going to ask you the same thing.

[heavenonthemind.livejournal.com]

The inmates.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

I agree. Why?

[vampish_aleera]

Aleera always wins first!

[farsees.livejournal.com]

Why bother choosing a side when I'm hoping everyone would kill one another off?

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

That is some admirably bitter nihilism from a newcomer. I applaud you.

[terminates.livejournal.com]

Depending on the circumstances, it could go either way.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

I guess. On a good day and in a universe that doesn't tip the balance freakishly in favor of the designated 'good guys', I'd give the edge to the Inmates.

[cantblameagirl]

Well, the wardens, clearly. Assuming the Admiral plays on our team.

Or judges.

He should judge.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Read the rules, klepto. The Admiral is not involved. He's out on a date with some other omnipotent sadist or something.

[everylittlegirl]

I might have to say the wardens, just because like, half the inmates either wouldn't care enough to fight or wouldn't care who they're fighting. Plus the wardens have weapons and they have to look good in front of each other, so they're less likely to sit out. Besides, there's more than one warden with no moral qualms so far as I can tell.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

...Consider the hypothetical stakes to be high enough that everyone has to fight. Like, I don't know, the losing team gets lined up against a wall and shot. Oh, and all deaths sustained are permanent, not the Barge 'take a week off work' version.

[knowmypurpose.livejournal.com]

I think it'd depend on the inmate and the warden.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

No no no no no, we're talking team sports here. All the Inmates versus all the Wardens.

[pleasesmirk.livejournal.com]

The wardens. Simply because they are slightly more capable of operating as a team than we are.

I think too many of us would be going for all the glory or taking charge and we'd be too busy infighting.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

See, I think they'd have exactly the same problem. And they'd have it a little bit worse. Have you not noticed the amount of time it takes for them to decide anything?

[lastsonofangtu.livejournal.com]

An interesting question, milady. Without knowing the capacities of all parties involved, it would be difficult to say?

The Inmates may have an advantage due to not having to restrain themselves -- but as Crane proved, that point can be turned against ally and enemy alike.

*glances down at his hand and shudders slightly* Yes, unrestrained power is far too dangerous...

[wedeceive.livejournal.com]

Well, starting with "the inmates snuck a biochemical weapon in under the wardens' noses already" and going from there ... smart money's on the inmates.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Actually, two. The first one was before you showed up.

[remarkablyblunt]

The inmates would be more willing to fight dirty, as they say, but I like to think we wardens have that good old can-do spirit that would see us through.

gah late sorry

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

......'good old can-do spirit'?

LATE TAG IS LATE

[gimmethemap]

I would.
