Theo chked with his lawyer before posting I see.

Smart move. Pyro.

Escaping the fire. Your were undertaking generator testing when the fire started. You don't know the details beyond "shits on fire".

And my goal is to save myself or kill everyone else?

[–] [deleted] • 3 pts

The goal is to save yourself. if others need to be sacraficed to acheive this goal that's fine

No enough information.

You need to exit to either exit the building or extinguish the fire. Unfortunately didn't pay attention during the site induction, you need to decide which door gets you out or fight the fire. You need to exit to either exit the building or extinguish the fire.

I use the fire extinguisher. It has a hole and in times of crisis that is all I want.

[–] [deleted] • 2 pts

You Fuck the fire extinguisher and struggle to not think of . You fail at this just as you failed at life.

[–] [deleted] • 4 pts

I marry the fire extinguisher in order to not dishonour it.

[–] [deleted] • 2 pts

It would have been a beautiful wedding. Unfortunately you exerted yourself while breathing in smoke and died. The fire extinguisher remains dishonoured and is eventually dumped in a landfill once clear up of the building begins.

Fucking a fire extinguisher is not technically a sin, and you go to heaven. However, no one will meet your eye or leave you alone with any of their appliances.

Depends how big the fire is.

[–] [deleted] • 2 pts

Pretty big, very smokey. The room is rapidly filling with smoke.

[–] • 1 pt

Just storm out while crawling, not sure how's that's possible. lol

[–] [deleted] • 1 pt

Which door are you storming out of? You came up in a lift that locked down once the fire system activated. So you can't leave the way you entered.

I'd blame Bush and die happy..

With your final choking breath you look to the sky (ceiling) and passionately bellow "Fuck you Bush! You're what's wrong with America! ".

When you get to hell the devil orders you be tortured extra hard because no one talks about his girl like that.

I'd try the door on the right, fire escapes should have doors opening in the same direction and that direction should lead you out. But it doesn't have a bar push because panicky people are to stupid to turn a door knob or use a door handle...but that appears to be water damage under it, so I guess I'm dying trying to put out the fire with the extinguisher, but now I'm over encumbered, and out of Buffout.

[–] [deleted] • 0 pt

Great observation and reasoning in the face of imminent danger! Your right, that is water damage under the right door. This is because that door leads to a pipe riser, not a fire exit.

Unfortunately the same people responsible for signing the doors are also responsible for maintaining the fire extinguisher. it hasn't been checked in 7 years. The dry chemical has solidified and it's useless.

You are overcome by smoke and die. However, because of your logical understanding of fire safety...... God decides to let you leave heaven and kick the people responsible in the balls once every day (for the rest of eternity. This includes once they die and go to hell) if you so choose.

You're family also receives a big payout due to negligence on the building owners behalf. The building was owned by jews. they scream in impotent rage as they lose money through their own mismanagement and disregard for human life.

I open both doors in hopes of increasing ventilation. The fire probably just needs a little air and it will be blown out.

[–] [deleted] • 0 pt

Both doors are locked with a grand master key. You could maybe bash one open with the fire extinguisher before you pass out. Would you like left or right?

[–] • 1 pt

I bash in the right door. I take a breath of air quickly, and then grap a zip tie from my pocket (I'm a handyman) and permanently depress the trigger on the fire extinguisher and throw it into the flames.

Who the fuck locked a fire exit from the outside?

[–] [deleted] • 0 pt

You bash the door open to find that you have just entered a pipe riser, there is no exit this way. It appears whoever put signage up in the building did a very bad job.

Fuelled by rage, you turn and grab the fire extinguisher. Pulling the trigger (after removing the pin) you yell "Fuck off, you bullshit fire. Go smoke out some jews in hell! "

Unfortunately, the fire extinguisher hasn't been serviced or replaced in 7 years.... The dry chemical has become a Solis mass. You hear a slight puff as the extinguisher pressure equalizes then you pass out and die.

When an investigation is completed the building owners are found responsible for you red death. Your family sues and receives a large payout. The jew building owners howl in pain.

It looks like soot/smoke damage accumulating under the door to the right. Is that where the fire is? If so, try to knock it out with the fire extinguisher. If that doesn't work, exit through the left-hand doors.

[–] [deleted] • 1 pt (edited )

Good observation! Unfortunately that door leads to the pipe riser. The stains are from years of water leaks (this building has not been well maintained). The door pictured is the only access point to the room, so breaking into it doesn't get you any closer to an exit.

You're death here provides slightly more information on the situation to anyone else playing along. You get a nod of approval from death as he collects your soul.

Edit - point of interest.... had the stain been from smoke damage, there would also have been stains above the door frame.

[–] [deleted] • 0 pt

The door sets are different, one opens in and the other opens out. I think on the top of skyscrapers the doors usually open out.

I could:

  • Take the extinguisher and march downstairs to the left while blasting the extinguisher in front of me, hopefully just barely keeping the flames down enough until I make it outside.
  • Go outside, to the right, and see if there's any stairwells on the outside or buildings I could jump to. I might go outside and call 911, hoping for a helicopter depending on the state of the building and fire.
[–] [deleted] • 1 pt

The doors are indeed set differently. However the door on the left (which opens inwardly, by the set of the hinges, not narative), leads to an electrical riser... not stairs. This leads to a dead end..... yours. You die.

But good use of observation. God wants to have a beer with you when you get to heaven.

Ah, darn it. Did I have autosave turned on?

[–] • 1 pt

HA! The proper question is did autosave work and is my saved game okay?

If the fire is big enough that I can't use the extinguisher and then the doors if that doesn't extinguish the fire, then I pick the doors on the right.

[–] [deleted] • 1 pt

The door on the right is locked. You throw your shoulder into it, hoping you can force your way through. No. No you cannot. You slip into unconciousness while thinking "Fuck, why would they lock a fire exit?".

You go to purgatory. During the debrief of your life you ask the eternal bureaucrat why the fire exit was locked. You get told because that wasn't the fire exit..... Clearly.

[–] • 0 pt

So the building is stupidly designed? Did it take long to get that debriefing? I imagine the afterlife has to have an efficient bureaucracy, as long as you're not headed towards fire and brimstone.

[–] [deleted] • 1 pt

The building is very badly designed with terrible signage.

The bureaucracy is as slow and ineffective as All are. But you're dead. A few hundred years is nothing.
