      Yeah, I thought the implication was that in the lore of whatever pretend reality the game takes place in, the penalty for losing the game is getting executed by hanging

      Some people do a very thorough job.

      “Jim killed himself.”

      “My, god. How?”

      “He constructed his own gallows, complete with support to ensure his weight wouldn’t bow or split the noose beam, and dangled above the well crafted platform.”

      “Wow. That’s Jim to a T.”

      “Yes. Tragically a T would have prevented all of this.”

        In the Bible, there are two accounts of the death of Judas. In one, he hangs himself. In another, he goes out into his field and his guts spill out and he dies.

        And I had a Christian tell me that first he hanged himself and then his guts spilled out and then he died.

        So apparently, he went out into a field, built a gallows, tested the gallows, hung himself from the gallows, didn’t die, so God had to complete the job by making his guts spill out and not, I don’t know, break his neck?
