<ZichtOpZee> i say slavery should be reintroduced
<The_Unknown> i approve!
<ZichtOpZee> like for the poor people who fall into the bottomless debt trap because they all buy exesive shit on term payments
<ZichtOpZee> expensive*
<ZichtOpZee> solution; sell them off into slavery to rich people, and thus the debt is paid
<ZichtOpZee> depending on the importance of the debt, you are a slave for a longer term
<The_Unknown> and let criminals do jobs who no one else wants to do!
<ZichtOpZee> the only thing you can't do is kill them, mutilate them for life, or take their organs
<ZichtOpZee> all other rights they lose and are subject to the will of the master
<Ben> what use are they then?
<Ben> don't take away the hunt on slaves!
<The_Unknown> so you can mutilate them for week?
<ZichtOpZee> yes
<Eltara> Awesome.
<Eltara> I'll buy five.

<Ben> so, right before they die you give them a present, and all is fine?
<The_Unknown> what if you accidently kill one?
<ZichtOpZee> you'll have to be rich first though, and find people in bottomless debt
<ZichtOpZee> ben; if they die of natural causes, no problem
<Ben> hmm
<ZichtOpZee> TU; than it's tough luck for them?
<Ben> so an injection with air?
<Ben> it's fairly natural
<ZichtOpZee> then*
<ZichtOpZee> no, it must not be anything of your doing, or negligence
<Ben> pff
<Ben> indirectly too?
<ZichtOpZee> if no causality can be proven, you walk
<The_Unknown> what if you use it as a boxing ball and it dies on accident?
<ZichtOpZee>
<ZichtOpZee> if it was foreseeable he/she/it would die, than you're in trouble
<ZichtOpZee> if you didnt punch all that hard, and it was a big fat mofo, you're laughing
<The_Unknown> lol

<ZichtOpZee> <The_Unknown> so you can mutilate them for week? <-- example; some serious whipping. mutilates, but heals. mostly
<Eltara> Just don't cut off an arm or so.
<Eltara> Fun though it may be.
<The_Unknown> won't it regenerate?
<Eltara> Mutant slaves excepted, no.
<ZichtOpZee> they're slaves, not Borg.
<The_Unknown> hmm
<Ben> can we make them Borg?
<The_Unknown> that would be cool, borg slaves!
<Eltara> They're your slaves, you can make them anything
<Eltara> They're your own clay-figurines!
<ZichtOpZee> Ben; yes, if you remove all nanotech after the term, and return your slave in the initial state, minus the normal use and weardown.
<Eltara> Except that you have to feed them.
<Ben> hmm
<Ben> no problem
<Eltara> But what if you have to cut off body parts to decently remove the technology? Say something went wrong, wouldn't that count as mutilation? =/
<Ben> what if they die whilst playing gladiator?

<ZichtOpZee> modifying your slave is allowed, but on your own risk. all slaves must be returned after the term in the initial state, minus normal weardown.
<Ben> how much is the warranty?
<Eltara> Is losing a leg normal weardown on say, 10 years?
<ZichtOpZee> if they die while playing gladiator, it should be taken into account it was foreseeable that the slave would die. after all, people die in gladiator fights.. at your own risk here again.
<ZichtOpZee> there's no warranty to be paid upfront, instead, it gets calculated afterwards how much worse the slaves condition is than before
<Ben> hmm
<Eltara> So you can get money when the slave's in better condition
<Ben> that's just silly
<Ben> indeed
<Ben> I do believe an upgrade to Borgness is worth quite a bit of cash
<Eltara> But you have to downgrade them when you return them!
<Eltara> Truly, it's a tricky business.
<ZichtOpZee> Eltara, indeed! if it was a fat useless mofo when you got him, and he is returned damn fit and tranied cause of all the hard work, it is rewarded with a bonus. of a slave of your choice for a small term.
<Eltara> Neat.
<Eltara> So if you get two slaves, one to shape up, one to work hard, you can regain what you invested in the worthless one.
<Ben> excellent
<Eltara> I smell a business plan!
